Ken-Few-Zen

This blog talks about confusion. Now lets start from the title.... I'm spelling
it that way cuz it depicts confusion in a very ken-few-zing way. There's "ken-few-zen"
and that's why I can't get the spelling right
Now, in our day-to-day lives, we've wasted a lot of time, money and energy due to
confusion.Not just at the workplace, but confusion messes up
relationships too and not to forget the way we deal and put things across.
Each one of us would have had a thousand or millions of messy experiences due to
confusion.

Lets' see how...
Confused to say yes to go to a party, choosing jobs, choosing a partner, on shopping
etc...
Now look at this one...in a hotel, we order some food... we take time and order..its
our order... and when the waiter serves our food, we look at the opposite table and get
a feeling that those guys are having a merrier time eating their food... Jesus
Christ!!! Isn't that silly :P
Similar situation happens with our cell phones,accessories, jewels, home decor and it slowly leads to "Envy" or
"Jealousy"....Its not good to be too jealous or too envious but
I've studied a lot of ppl being tat way..oh oh ...u better not....it just doesn't make you
happy :(

My side of confusion is.. should I report at office tat I'm leaving a bit early or no... should I
tell my boss tat I took a huge break from work and was time-passing :D
Should I serve another spoon of rice..to fill me...should I eat that pastry
cuz I'm too tempted (and I end up eating it and put on so many calories)
In my courtship... should I go meet my guy today or should I impress my parents by
staying at home :D oh god!!!! this ken-few-zen has eaten me up several times
At Examz... ahhhh.. should I choose this option or that..which is right... should I
take more time to answer the same question or should I move on... it goes on and on....

So guyzzz ..my message is ...keep your Confusion at a minimum...cuz that minimum makes
a huge difference in our decision making and if it goes high and eats you up...then
...you know... you'll be a loser.

Silent Saviours and Amazing Adaptors

Trees have been the best of god's creations since evolution . The thought of a tree
always make me happy.I guess this is the common opinion across many minds.The moment I think of trees, I think of green...the colour that soothes the eye...
against red.. the colour that disturbs the eye.
Mankind has to be ever grateful to the trees or I'd like to call them the "SILENT
SAVIOURS" who really balance the earth. They give us the basics, oxygen, food, shelter....they give us the most precious basics for living....
Our Silent Saviours could be an example for many more things like
-Being Productive- they process food althrough the day, "Everyday" and that's a great
value
-They shine bright in the scorching sun- so we know what we have to learn from them :)
-They withstand the rain.. as much as possible..
Apart from being the Silent Saviours they are AMAZING ADAPTORS, they adapt to the sun,
rain, wind and the worst part people cutting them down for no reason.
Forget forest fires, these days you can see humans burn trees for civilization and
having a greater city.
These days there have been increasing numbers of trees being cut down either to provide
toilet papers, premium tissues where people just pull it up and throw it into a bin as
if it were a game, pull it out, touch on ur skin and throw...tat's a bit funny or a
lot funny or for "metro in bangalore" (this is where I live)... so that they make the
city a dusty, dry, hot and chaotic place. Summer seems to be hotter every year!!!!

For me trees are wonder creatures and I'm happy I wrote a blog on them as I'm so
grateful to them. But i'm also sad at the rate of their destruction.

Maybe they should change to be the mighty ones.. maybe they should have known to defend themselves when humans cut them down irrationally because I'm afraid that Herbert Spencer-Charles Darwin's theory "SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST" is true in every era and if trees are not the fittest or the mightiest, they'll lose SPACE on this earth and soon we'll lose ours too!!!

Weird World or You


Is the world weird or are you a weirdo
First of all, let us get clear on what weird means...answers???
  • strange
  • unusual
  • odd
  • funny
A person normally feels that the world is weird when things around him are either
bugging him more than usual or driving him insane
Example-
  • Go to the market on a monday and to reassure your hard luck , the market youtravelled for an hour remains closed on monday... you mumble that it wasn't that way before and they brought it down without your notice
Or even worse,
  • Stand in a queue for hours together either to get tickets for a movie or pay your bills or even wait for your turn to pray to god in the temple.. there is always someone who is better off at luck , who very smoothly passes through without struggling as much as you did , uses influence in temples in a better way, tricks you in the line to pay the bill... and you are like.."hey wait a minute... it's my turn at the billing counter " OR "hey moron, i was in the queue for darshan and i need to see god first...stop posing as a VIP" and you know that your voice isn't heard....
NOW...that's when you realise the world is weird....
The world seems weird when you think you are perfectly al right, you are behaving
nicely, adhering to all the rules but the "other people" or rather the "system" might
be TOTALLY WEIRD.
To talk more bout people acting weird...
  • A person, who normally talks nicely to you appears "lip sealed" the next time you meet him/her.. and you wont know why he/she is behaving that way..(this is weird)..had such an experience??

  • A relative of yours acts very plastic (imitated expressions and forced gestures) all of a sudden and you are like..hello what's wrong (weirdo :D)

  • Your child suddenly becomes cranky and emotional and you're like what the hell
Weird equations:
  • Most of the nicest people have to deal with weirdos day-in and day-out
  • You go out of your way to help someone and that person turns his back on you
  • You do your best to impress your peers, someone else is enjoying all the attention very easily
Now comes the Million Dollar Question "Weird world or YOU"
After doing all the blame game, is the world weird or is that YOU who is really weird
You would know that you were w-e-i-r-d only after "Realization"
for example
  • Eat even when you aren't hungry but just that you want to be greedy ..so tat no one else gets to eat
  • Fight with your mum like crazy for all that pent up anger at office
  • Fight with you sibling just because you wan2 fight and be a bully
  • Act funny with friends and have assertive talks and later someday realise...hey I was a weirdo...
  • Argue with your partner for asking one more question for which an answer would have demanded less energy than an arguement which almost drained you off (you sick WEIRDO)
    So I'd like to say its a weird weird world with weird people, weird rules and weird
    equations. Its kinda tricky... you know..wherther the world was weird or the people made it WeIrD!!!
