BATCHA'S death described by THE HITCHIKER'S GUIDE TO GALAXY.

Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy(HGG) is very very weird, so weird that if i describe it, my description of the weird matter would be so weird that this weird description would override the weird description in the book and eventually the weird part which i am suppose to describe would be left out(effect of reading the book twice).Nonetheless i have to keep this blog alive and not allow it to drift away in the vast void called "Internet" and to do so I have to describe some of the most weirdest parts of HGG no matter how weird it would sound but very meaningful as you will later find it.
The HGG says, the world as percieved by human beings is not the way it is,that we are not the most dominant and intelligent species on the planet Earth, leave alone the universe.In fact we human beings are a small part of huge matrix which is a subset of a huge computer program called EARTH.The Earth is designed to find the answer to ultimate question "WHAT IS LIFE,UNIVERSE AND EVERYTHING?".To teach human beings how to thrive in planet earth they(i still don't know who 'they' are?) sent hyper-dimensional creatures to planet earth called MICE.
Heres how those mice proved smarter than us,we human beings so proud of our pre-concieved presumption(i.e humans are the most intelligent species on the planet) captured mice thinking that their brains very closely resemble to those that of humans.Human beings carried out various kinds of test on mice in the laboratory and learnt the behavioral patterns in mice when exposed to various tests.But mice were way smarter than us and taught us how to behave by performing some weird actions inside the glass cubical.So the fact that every human being spends his entire life working hard incessantly to earn money and eventually dies carrying nothing with him was derived from mice's actions of running inside the wheel to get out of the wheel.(weird huh???)
So HGG indirectly says mice taught us to run behind money.To put it in a HGG'S way ,mice taught us to run behind,to cheat,to commit fraud for a small something by something inch piece of paper.
And the repercussions of these mice's teaching are still being faced by Human beings and will continue to affect them.Heres the most recent effects faced by an earthling called BATCHA (A.RAJA'S SECRATARY).Baccha was secretary to a human being who commited fraud to earn millions of those something by something inch pieces of paper and he earned it.BATCHA thought even he had chance of earning those pieces of paper along with his master in this deal and he did so.But it turned out that the human beings who according to Batcha and his master who were not supposed to know anything about their wealth t came to know about it.The result of which Batcha hung himself or was hung by someone to the ceiling fan and died.So thanks to Batcha and the training imparted to humans by mice the computer program called EARTH was able to find out an answer which would never be an answer to the ULTIMATE QUESTION.


And here's the answer:
LIFE,UNIVERSE AND EVERYTHING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SOMETHING BY SOMETHING INCH PIECE OF PAPER CALLED 'MONEY'.
Thank You Baccha,Thank You mice,You have taught us a valuable lesson!!!
                                    

BACK 2 SQUARE ONE

The Hitchiker's guide to galaxy(HGG)-part2(Restuarant at the end of universe) has finally arrived.The GOOD part ---it has arrived earlier than i anticipated(courtesy---fast and free courier services) and the BAD part---an HGG freak says you need to go through first part again to understand the second one(back 2 square one) and the UGLY part--- i haven't yet finished reading the first one(reading lag continues).Anyways having nothing else to do i'll post some of the weirdest, funky but true phenomenons mentioned in HGG.

ABOUT BEGINNING OF LIFE:
According to the HGG------"A hole appeared  which was nothingth of a second long,nothingth of an inch wide and quite a lot of millions of light years form end to end.The nothingth of a second for which the hole existed reverberated backwards and forwards through time in improbable fashion.Somewhere in the deeply remote past it deeply traumatized a small random group of atoms drifting through empty sterility of space and make them cling together in most extra-ordinarily unlikely atoms. These pattern quickly learnt to copy themselves and went on to cause massive trouble on every planet they drifted on to.That was how life began on universe".Reading this I feel very sorry for those brainiacs at CERN who have spent billions of dollars figuring out the above phenomenon.

ABOUT THE STRANGE BEHAVIORAL PATTERNS FOUND IN HUMAN BEINGS:
One of the strange habit of human beings is continuosly stating and repeating very very obvious,as in Its a nice day , or You are very tall,or Oh dear you seem to have fallen down a 30-foot well,are you all right ?
A theory formulated by an extra-terestrial being to account for this behavior:
'If human beings don't keep exercising their lips, their mouths probably seize up.'
After careful observation he formulated another new theory,
'If they don't keep exercising their lips, their brains start working.'

And then there's the most funkiest of them all------ "THE INFINITE IMPROBABILITY DRIVE"
and explaining that would be waste of my time and my blog space cause no matter how hard you try
the improbability of understanding the improbability drive is really infinite.But just to give a try here's a paradoxical statement relating to the above phenomenon "If you are in a  infinite improbability drive mode your probability of ending up anywhere in universe and doing anything at any time is infinite".
Now if you have nothing else important to do for the day i suggest you brood on the above subject,as far as my journey goes thats all i've encountered in my 100 pages long ride, now more 100 pages to go before i can reach out to the restaurant at the end of the universe.

My renewed resolution

I have 30 titles on my bookshelf waiting to be leafed out.Almost all belong to suspense,thriller,spy story genre.One relief is that number will be reduced to 29 this week cause i'll finish reading 'lustrum'.But this trying time doesn't end here, my impulsive action of ordering HITCHIKER'S ..........PART2 has just added to my desperation to finish reading all the pending titles ASAP,to add to it the book will come hitchiking to my door step the day i finish reading "Lustrum" which is 30th book from bottom.
                       To overcome this reading lag as i call it, i resolve to read 3 books per month.Now,suppose i keep the follow through i'll overcome the reading lag in 10 months. It is a daunting task taking into consideration that reading is not my full time job.Would i be able to keep up this renewed resolution of mine???Only time will tell......
                                      

Can't wait to visit the restaurant.......

 No i don't mean it literally.Just a while ago i ordered "hitchiker's guide to galaxy-part2 --restaurant at the end of universe".Its a widely accepted cliche' that either you love hithchiker's guide to galaxy or hate it.Now to which category i belong would take more of reading.Not only this but from the reviews i found the book is a satire which describes some of the most weird phenomenon in quantum physics in a very unusual,nontechnical kind of way,first part had many phenomenon of this kind --one being 'the infinite improbability drive'.

                 This book was never on the 'next on the list ' category,i intended to read "spy who came in from the cold" but i'm facing something called genre wear-out.Presently i am reading a roman political thriller "lustrum".The 400 pages' long book has taken a toll on me.I need to come out of this suspense, thriller genre and read something which is out of this world, and does not require use of grey cells to understand but for that i need to visit the restaurant which is at located at the end of the universe......

DICTATORS BEWARE!!!

Shown here is a $25,000 suit custom made for the recently ousted Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak.Notice closely and you will find his name inscribed on every pinstripe of suit!.

So if you are a dictator or intend to be wearing this kind of suit in public places may prove to be a recipe for disaster.

Here are some points you need to note as a dictator if you don't wish to get kicked out:

1.Live an austere life, avoid staying in grand palaces cause its not symbolic any more and in no way shows how great or prosperous your country is .

2.Value your position as a leader, Work for the people this way you won't get bulgy and lethargic

and there won't arise a need to spend thousands of dollars to reshape you physically cause if you do so that would violate point 1.

3.If you have a son/daughter and wish to see him/her as your successor by giving them best education in an ivy league school, forget it!.Cause eventually they will end up plagiarizing their thesis.

4. Don't you dare ban social networking sites, if you hate it start using it.It is a great way to spread your propaganda among masses and ensuring them that you are following the above 3 points.

IF you still can't follow any of the above points then one final solution------Give up and let way for Democracy as soon as possible and if you don't do that people will show democracy the way in and you the way out.

Conscious about Identity

Is having sense of identity so important in contemporary age?This is an issue I wonder when reading Barrack Obama's "Dreams from my Father",the book describes Obama's endeavor to find his true identity in a society which was dominated by whites and in a way made him feel like an outsider in his own country.

This quest lands him working as a community organizer and living an austere life in southern Chicago,then one day a sudden visit from his long lost sister makes him realize that people who he can call his own are on the other side of globe in Kenya,he visits Kenya to meet the people of his origin and get to know his true sense of identity.I haven't read the entire book as of now so in what way does he get to know his identity I cannot describe.

In today's age this quest does not sound too relevant, may be because of the widely used metaphor "the world has become a small place to live in" and in many ways this is true.The technological advancement has indeed made this world a small place ,people care to attain highest levels of comfort rather than wasting time finding and getting to know their long lost roots.But here's the catch ---Obama went through this experience in 80s which was the era of commencement of modernism. All these facts lead to only conclusion that Obama followed his consciousness which majority of population never really does. His consciousness asked him to find his true identity which led him to work as a community organizer and made him aware the real problems of black community in a ghetto.He obtained his law degree from Harvard , gaining a fancy degree he had a choice of leading a life of comfort but then his consciousness took over and led him back to Chicago to work for his community.

Very few have led this kind of life, a life which is led by conscience rather than by pursuit of comfort and monetary gains. Leading a great life requires a tremendous amount of self introspection which must remain unfazed by lust of money and power.But in today's age where conscience is masqueraded by the absolute goal of reaching to the higher strata of society one needs to introspect this thought by Emily Dickenson-------

" To live life is so startling it leaves very little time for anything else"

CRIME NOVELS

Crime novel i guess is the most easiest and most hardest type of novel to write.Easy because you need not care for emotions, reader automatically feels the gravity of situation once he is introduced to the crime scene and hard because the author has to play with human phsyce every moment, keep the reader guessing till the last moment and at the end make a revelation which comes as a setback to all the superficial guess work by the reader and in someway makes the reader realize that solution to the mystery was before him right from the begining and would have guessed it if he/she had not succumed to the innocence or naivety displayed by characters.

                The fact that i am writing about crime novel is because i have finished reading Agatha Christie's "Murder of Roger Ackroyed". As of now i have read two books of her the other being "murder on the orient express",both the books are unusual murder mysteries but with same Christie's style of suspecting everyone till the last moment and then revealing the real culprit among those few on mere basis of reasoning.And i bet that no matter how much guess work the reader does he/she will never get it right and the revelation of who the culprit is will come as a shock.

                                             Crime novel more or less teaches us how to use our reasoning ablities and coming to conclusions which are logical and not emotional.This is the only aspect which defines great detectives like Sherlock Holmes and Hercules Poirot.

WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME!!!

WARNING!-Keep your brains on a low power/idle mode before reading this blog,i had mine before writing it.DONT expect anything intellectually stimulating.

I Finished reading Hitchhiker's Guide to Galaxy-part 1 a while ago,a wonderful book,truly mind-blowing,amazing ......blah blah blah blah !!!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, its a must read book for anyone n everyone who has nothing important to do in life but to just sit in solitude wondering about life and the sole purpose of their being present on planet Earth at an instant when---

---Sun is at an optimum distance from planet Earth to provide sufficient energy and warmth and not burn up stuff!!!

---when moon is at perfect distance to give rise to tidal waves and become the first planet to have the honor of receiving a human being from planet Earth(who later found out moon has nothing to offer).

---when vegetation on Earth is so abundant and varied that we humans soon get tired of eating it,start to loath it(esp. the green leafy ones) and often opt for non-vegetarian delicacies.

WOW!!!myself arriving on Earth when all these things happening at that specific instant(well 'instant' here is a span of decades and not an infinitesmally small amount/impulse of time as we earthlings look at, don't agree with me! refer to 'theory of relativity' n 'the space time curve' devised by a brainiac named Einstein ) and at that specific place (earth offcourse).

Is this a coincidence, luck or am I some kind of an avatar of God sent in disguise of a human.

Well assuming that later presumption is true will eventually lead me to disappointment.Why???

Consider this ,excluding me there are about 5,999,999,999 human beings thriving along with me on this planet.What I mean to say is God won't send 6 billion avatars at the same time n at same place.Or would he???('is God he or she'?why the hell i am wondering,this ain't the issue that i am supposed to wonder about).

No,obviously he wouldn't ,if had sent 6 billion avatars at the same time,same place who is to become the savior of whom there is no one left would need help,then whom are we suppose to protect???Animals???

Oh come on, we like to eat'em don't we?, kill them and wear their furs on our body to protect ourselves from god sent natural phenomenon(i.c. cold or rain,'god sent natural phenomenon' just sounds better).

Oh no! am i turning into a animal activist.why the hell am i worrying about these things?

I've so many other things to do--I've my project to work on,I've my blog to write.............

Oops guess I've finished writing it.........Ohhhhhhhhh,I should have never read this book....... what's happening to me??????????

UTOPIAN OR DYSTOPIAN, YOU DECIDE!

I was bit sceptical regarding the title, but I guess the content below will hopefully provoke the reader to self introspect and also give reason for above title.

We live in a society which is democratic, secular and most importantly an open society which means we are conferred the freedom to do anything we like. But we tend to take this freedom for granted and don’t realize its importance or its profound impact which tends to shape our thought which in turn shapes our action and life in a broader perspective.

Imagine yourself in a situation where you are being watched, your every move is being watched, your every word is being listened to and you’re every thought being discerned. Watched by a force so immense which is beyond the realm of your imagination, watched by an authority so powerful that although you cannot see it
but you can feel its presence everywhere. Confused??? Same was the state of mind
of protagonist Winston Smith described in the book ‘1984’, authored by a British intellectual George Orwell, this book gives an account of an ideal dystopian society
(‘ideal’ because it’s the standard against which you can measure all the other dystopian societies). Orwell describes a society where every individual is watched by a ‘Big Brother’ as he being the head of so called ‘Party’ which ruled the society.
Party had its own principles and expected every individual to follow them without showing signs of any discontent.
If an individual gets caught mandating some anti-Party ideology he/she were led into an oblivion where they get brain-washed and then shot dead. Brainwash prior to death
since Party prioritized its principles before life.
Reading 1984 gives an account of perfect dystopian society and one wonders how horrible the life would be. But in contemporary world such societies does exist!
Take North Korea for instance a country ruled by a person who has a taste for Hollywood movies but imposes harsh punishment on anyone who tends to show an inclination towards western ideology. Last week a top official was executed just because his so called short term economic policies failed. Such society is closest to a dystopian mentioned in ‘1984’.
I consider myself lucky to be born in an open society where ideologies of individuals are not only heard but analysed and best among the proposed few are adopted. But this does not mean we are an utopian society in fact we are not even close to it, there are many factions who have vested interest in capsizing this open society to a barbaric and isolated one. So what ideology do these people resort to???
The answer is Extremism, though it is not the only factor which can lead to a dystopian society nevertheless it is one of the leading traits of dystopian society.
The only way to face extremism is by adopting a liberal approach towards everything, to be broad minded. There are many instances where our society has
practised liberalism but while dealing with some we have resorted to extremist ideals.
That’s why I said that we are far away from being a utopian society and it is only a matter of an individual’s self introspection on which basis he/she can decide what ideology to follow.
That’s why the title “Utopian or Dystopian, You decide”.
