dream analysis and superstitions

Sigmund Freud had lot of time in his hands to sit and write volumes on dream analysis.Not too far-sighted was he?Did he ever imagine how busy our lives could get to bother about this hogwash?Dream analysis?seriously?I’d say get a life!I’d rather read the dream analysis of ilks like Steve Jobs,Sam Walton.There dreams were worth analyzing.Dissecting our dreams to take a shape into reality is something else.The first thing in the morning is to stick to the planned schedule for the day and make the most of it instead of remincing what bird,animal,trees in the dreams last night meant.I’m all like rofl for this stuff.Focus is always the simple solution for any problem.Once you pin down that to the top most carefully etched priority in life,I dont think you need no Freud theories to read your subconscious to you.Infact dreams aint always lucid and all about premonition,so why bother?Even if you are gifted with that kind things inside your brain that you can see stuff without being schizophrenic,still..why bother.Unless you are an updated version of Bruce Almighty where -’you got the power!’.People during the world war times has no choice but spend lot of their times at home.So I guess lot of time equates to unnecessary thinking and thus such redundant theories.Even if they bear some significance..who has time to remember and then sit and analyse and waste time in this futile activity instead of making a head-start to a new day!

The next stage of low self esteem is superstitions.Infact superstition are nothing but a sumtotal of fears,phobias,desperation,irrationality and zero confidence in yourself and zero faith in God!Ekta Kapoor is worth more than 600 crores,she has the right to be superstitious (she thinks),it fetched her that kind of fortune.But how is it being chained in your own abnormal thinking for the sake of earning a fortune.A smart alec would say-I would’nt mind the bargain.’Was Martin Luther King or our very own Kings of the esoteric era superstitious?Was Chanakya superstitious or knowledgable?Why then people write their souls off to astrologers and soothsayers when they themselves choose to lack faith in themselves and the Almighty?.Did Lincoln have access to these superstions and soothsaying?He sure did have access to principles that rebuild a nation and those same principles are something people feel ‘cool’ to mock.Lot of crap inside the mind is your own doom.Always!I believe nobody except you yourself has the right to your own destiny.Period!

The routine that was…

They say if you are creative you prefer night hours to do your work and if you are conventional and an introvert you prefer early mornings for your work.If we go by this are call center jobs creative?Seriously,morning hours are the best to rejuvinate the calm.However regularity in creative jobs esp if the responsibility is on your shoulders alone is quite impossible.But then you look at the rest of the world and ruminate how you miss the wonderful routine that was once a part of your life.But then routine to me is like taking a break from unconventionality..I cannot be random all the time no matter how naturally unpredicatability occurs to me.I need these core conventional routines as a part of my life.The only quotodian appendage to my daily randomness is waking up early morning.I try to do this most of the time.I wish to do it absolutely everyday.Though my love for absolutes aint that high in terms of day-to-day schedule or most of the things in life,I’d love the absolute rising in the morning just not 70% of the time but 100% of the time.Then the rest of the day can have its own innovative,flexible,random pattern.Thats my resolution even before the beginning of a wonderful new year.I want to be there before I welcome the dawn of a brand new year!!

Why unforgivingness if good for you

How many times have you come across people who constantly take evil pride of pushing your buttons?Seriously?you think forgiving such people is going to do any good to your well being?Always finding an opportuinity to say and do something mean and hurtful.Like wolf in a sheeps clothing appearing sweet till you are a part of the convo and then striking with a sudden insult.People seriously,get a life!Evertime you are nice,you end up paying the price of niceness.How they behave is their Karma and how you react is not your karma but an assertive,firm decision to put your foot down to such behaviour.Like a leech they cling to your life sucking all its vitality,appearing sporadically inspite of telling straight to their face to stop!No matter how many time you ask them to stop talking to you,no matter how much you ignore them,they just find and excuse to spring up with a vicious sinister sweet smile only to strike you again.Dont they say what you should do to such negative evil pests…Shoo them off!!!and never forgive nor forget cause their only purpose of talking to you is to ripe you off your energy.Careful you might just find them amongst your own blood or work or any environment as long as you exist,this type of people must be dealt with stern ridgidity for their ways wont change regardless of how nice you want to be.They dont deserve forgiveness,Period!!

Who do people discuss politics?

Vaishali Adwant — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 13:45:36 +0000

Whether Its a party or a marriage or any festive event,people cant help but discuss politics when they meet.Except for funerals,never found people discuss politics there.Its good some sensitivity does exist even now.Politics is the worst stigma that the world cannot turf out miraculously.The only cure is not to be a part of it.I have never understood the thrill people seek discussing this stuff esp when they cant do anything about it.Journalists make an exception,its their profession.When you discuss a s/w feature and post it on a forum there are chances that,that idea might just take shape into a real-time functionality of sort.It is a worthwhile discussion.But politics and the scams,and why anna hazare is right or wrong,seriously,who gives a S***?Dont you have business of your own to mind?The gusto with which people discuss at length making it appear intellectual…is just bizzare.All the age group esp the uncles and (well aunties discuss soap operas and religious stuff…this is more dangerous ) anybody from any age group,my question iswhat is so interesting about politics unless you are a politician yourself?They carry a smug around them when you innocent mind frame is not interested to be a part of it.The very next question to this lack of participation is-’why?dont you read newspaper?Yes I do I read ET and business,tech,fashion and literature related stuff,would you like to discuss that?But naa,no moxie for this stuff.They just brush it off thinking they have gained a momentum by going back to the govermental claptrap.I mean,if you really have such brilliant ideas on what the government should do,why dont you write to them and do something about it instead of bemiring a gathering with loud,noisy discussions,excuse me…I cant even watch tv.Speaking loudly and then getting offended when I turn off the tv or reduce the volume,making me feeling guilty as if I have done something insulting to their pea-brain discussions.

I’m game for discussing essays by Francis Bacon or Emerson,care to even know who these legends are?They have given the world the wealth of their ideas.Does your thirst for General Knowledge reckon this stuff?na…mediocre duds.
