Life in a Belly!!

We are gifted unlike other animals to perform different tasks that are beyond our natural abilities and habitat and also live a life out the physical, mental, geographical and intellectual boundaries of birth. We basically have an option to live a life and adopt a lifestyle that we wish to, unlike our lesser privileged subordinates of the evolution tree. We can be a fish that swims; an ape that jumps; a bird that flies or a bull that tows and tugs, and drive by this need or feel we are or we wish to be something and somebody our body and mind is comfortable with, and it should remain so.

Animals on the other hand do not enjoy this freedom, they are anatomical and physically of the same build, and irrespective of their emotional need they are bound be restricted by certain limitations of their physiology. There are no skinny elephants, or fat lions or furry lizards, unless of course their geographical and evolutionary needs drive them to mutate into another species altogether.  But we humans are so much more, there is height, weight and body-types some governed by genealogy and others mostly by individual choices, a skinny human body-type is itself divided into so many more types like skinny-fat, skinny-muscular etc., and so on and so forth for all other body types like chubby, fat, obese, muscular, athletic and many more.

We eat, live and think based on our need to be who we are, there is no specific body type or lifestyle there is no governing rule or definition that restricts us to adapt to a specific lifestyle and a fit in to a particular body type, unless we really like make those choices and necessary sacrifices or changes to meet those choices. We are not a bunch of industry made toys or an army of zombie soldiers; we are an accumulation of years of social, cultural and biological amalgamations that have destined us to be what we are and have led us to choose who we want to be, and thus get to live a life bound by those rules and set in that environment. A sprinter cannot expect a life of a couch potato and vice versa. A sumo wrestler cannot be a Olympian swimmer, let alone such wide differences, a sprinter’s cannot be a marathon runner, the choices and lifestyle one has to adapt to are many and there’s no definite way or right way. Eat more, work less and die young or work hard, eat healthy and live longer, do both and end up with a different result altogether. There is no predictive outcome or certainty that defines our death and lifespan whether we try to allude it with callousness or elude it with cautiousness. There is no higher calling, there is no greater living, a lecherous hedonist is no more a sinner than the pious saint, one’s purpose to feed is met with an other’s purpose to provide, that is the way life exists and operates. Anything that we do in this world has no significance or purpose, except the only purpose to bring us happiness and peace with our existence

And all this perspective come from my life, which works heavily on my sense and senses and lives happily in my belly, and Yeah I have made it Large!!!  😛

An Anniversary with the Adversary

Feb 14 th evoked a lot of mixed and vexed emotions in me, not for the reason that I share my first name with the culture honcho Muthalik, but it was exactly a year before this Date, I met ‘HER’…. Yes HER refers to that special someone…. Many of you might know her, she’s pretty famous these days, but what u wouldn’t know is that I’m dating her… No, she’s not BulBul… This post is a Memoir of the bygone year with her, a repertoire of experiences she’s enriched me with… I intended to post on Valentine's Day itself, but because of the demanding nature of hers I was forced to stay away from the internet, and celebrate our anniversary elsewhere. I met her, for the first time on Feb 13 2008, She was at the HR room in the 5 th floor of my office, waiting for me there; after a couple of mins of talk, I sensed we were getting closer, I didn’t expect that it would be such, that she would be mine henceforth. I felt a Déjà vu when I saw her, I felt I had met her befor

Bharatha as I see it..

I’m writing this post, inspired by a whatsapp argument I had with my bunch of friends. I wanted to pen my thoughts independent of an argument cause its easier to be carried away by the heat of the argument and one might misquote or misinterpret one’s understanding of a subject as grey as the Mahabharata. The main issue of contention was that the idea of Kauravas vs the Pandavas, and how the whole of Mahabharatha was biased towards glorifying the Pandavas. My friends also opined that Pandavas had no legal right over the throne of Kuru vamsha.  I would like to clarify that Pandavas never staked claim to the throne of Hastinapur, being valid and rightful Princes of the Kuru vamsha they sought rightful co-existence with the Kauravas. The only rightful character in the whole of Mahabharata after Shantanu who had all the qualities of a King but choose to forego the same over a promise he had made to his father and step-mother Bhishma was supposed to take care of both Dritharastra’s and
