We Were Young !


Hi there Ladies and Gentlemen who were Boys and Girls years back, No one travels faster than light, so let's slow down a bit and talk. Please :)

We need to stop feeling as if we got to see the best things and subsequent generations shall be missing them. The things that you enjoyed once, changed because they had to. The producers got bored of making the same things over and again and so did the consumers. Cartoon network was good when you were a kid, not just because you had Swat Kats, Captain Planet, Jonny Quest and Tintin running on it! It was because you were A KID. Period

The same logic applies to why you love(d) gully cricket, video games, WWF (and to some extent WWE). Thanks to our never-quenching thirst to watch the same things we used to, even The Undertaker is tired of making comebacks!

Now that you have grown up, you see something’s changed on CN and you want to badly relive those times. And you hate CN for that? Mind you, the target audience has changed its preference. The current school goer still loves it – from Ben10 to Power Rangers, Bheem to Doraemon. Naseeruddin Shah or Akshay Kumar, NSYNC or Metallica, there is a market for everything. People like Moony Deol (of course, first name changed) make action movies till date not because they are bored or they feel the need to register their purses for a weight loss program. They simply sense the existence of an audience for their movies. Why should they miss the profit bus just because their reach is not as wide?

The bottomline is that we do not miss those ‘things’. C’mon, will we watch the aforementioned cartoon series if telecast now? Maybe sporadically but the truth is that we want to watch those things when we are back home from school with mom-made fruit juice in hand. So what do we miss? We know the answer J

No Light, No Tunnel !

There is something interesting about the world and we are very much part of the thing that makes it interesting. No one travels faster than light, so let’s slow down a bit and talk if that is okay J

What is the real purpose of life? The answer is like sets of earphones lying on the table. You try to pick them up in haste and you end up spending the longest time in understanding the intertwined mess. We have to spot the loose ends and take it from there so patiently that it is worth the effort and time.

Well, in my opinion, there is no real purpose in life. So what do we do when there is nothing to live for? We invent a purpose and work towards fulfilling it. That is the root cause of the rise of different faiths and philosophies. This is why we debate all life to decide the best philosophy.

God ('G' since He, oops, G is neither male nor female ) like everything else on earth is equally confusing. Had G come down to earth once or showed Himself up in the giant Imax screen that the sky is and showed clear signs that G exists, at least once since the beginning of time, the scenario would have been much different. Instead, He left it to the imagination of the human species to figure out What created them! How cruel! Adding to this confusion is the list of people who lived amongst us giving unclear messages. That is exactly why we require something like a miracle from these fellas to confirm their superior rank. Each faith has defined its own purpose of life. We fear the Unknown and become Believers. If we did not believe in G, it would be a lawless world. It is lawless anyway. At least, we are better off than Beliebers (Justin Bieber fans!)

Life's purpose is to create a purpose and add meaning to it by living it fully. We have a lifetime to think about it :)
