its not easy to write shit disguised as philosophy, or maybe i am just reading too many MAD magazines these days...

anyway, recently had met a friend who kinda charges up others around him, of course in a subtle way. some concepts came up, like, will there be ethics in business ever? isn't business skills require one to be manipulative... or not-very-ambitious people wouldn't enter it, or stay minority to make a real impact? as a related topic of course, quantum physics concepts popped up... could there be multiple universes? does time split us up and simultaneously we exist in many universes (unconnected) at the same time?

saw a play, 'mahadevbhai', it was in english, 'mahadev' was secretary of gandhi (father of indian nation)... the play was based on mahadev's life and his proximity to gandhi. well, in india whenever any gandhian policies come up in discussion, there seem to be pro & anti gandhian opinions flying around... was gandhi a mahatma (great soul) or not? should it be determined on the basis of his personal life or political efforts? after his death in 1948, almost 60 years after, his decisions at those times can be tricky to analyze as things change... so many hidden doors and taboos come out in the open, and we still have a long way to go.

started reading a play by 'chekhov'. his short stories and play's are world famous. read that, 'chekhov through trivial words and everyday events reveals truths'... like dostoevsky. existential school of psychology also talks about these 2 authors.
CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) also tries to use the surface talk to understand deeper thoughts and beliefs. i guess the good actors (read the one's who are able to understand the analysis of charcters, inner shades painted by writers) would have a good time with psych concepts. well, sometimes its surprising to see the media using many psych concepts, but awareness of psych concepts seem alien or scary to majority of population. surprise includes vagueness to some extent i guess, and it helps to deal with boredom at times? yaawwnn.. bye 4 now.

Do you want to be 'Uniquely normal' or 'Normally unique' ?
kinda the same theme of this blog title...

We all want to be unique, the numero uno, out-standing etc. but dont want to be thought of as a freak... Want to be with the masses, atleast not be part of discriminated minority, as in not being abnormal...

The classic cause for internal clash ? Whatever it is, it creates drives... ambitions, goals to achieve.

Everyone tries to make 'their own' group a superior class minority, even if they belong to that group by accident or had no other choice. one example is gender and the concept of feminism. Democracy becomes an excuse.

Well, what's does this guy (blogger) thinks of himself? (or herself, since i have not revealed my gender)... anyway, that's not the issue here... but that's idea for another blog. Bye for now.

whew! its been a long time since i wrote anything here...
Inspiration is rare and impressing (thoughts into a paper or a monitor) tedious...

i had been travelling a bit. found a nice phrase/concept through discussion with a friend 'deux ex machinas', and have matured (i am less frequently bothered by my lack of goals and all those practical life hocus-focus)...

of course, about travelling, Tarkarli, a beach near Malvan area of Maharashtra state is a cool place to visit... great sand, clean waters which i thought would be impossible in india, and not many people... by visiting this place, you will get what you really want from life... which is?
