a story from "the alchemist"

A certain shopkeeper sent his son to learn the secret of happiness from the wisest man in the world. The lad wandered through the desert for forty days and finally came upon a beautiful castle , high atop a mountain . it was there that the wise man lived.

Rather than finding a saintly man, though , our hero , on entering the main room of the castle, saw a hive of activity – tradesman came and went , people were conversing in the corners ,a small orchestra was playing soft music and there was a table covered with platters of the most delicious food in that part of the world . the wise man conversed with everyone , and the boy had to wait for 2 hours before it was his turn.

The wise man listened attentively to the boy’s explanation of why he had come , but told him that he didn’t have time just then to explain . he suggested that the boy look around the palace and return in 2 hours.

“ meanwhile, I want to ask u to do something “,said the wise man , handing the boy a teaspoon that held 2 drops of oil. “as u wander around , carry this spoon with u without allowing the oil to spill.”

The boy began climbing and descending the many stairways of the palace, keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon , after 2 hours, he returned to the room where the wise man was.

“well , did u see the Persian tapestries that are hanging in my dining hall? Did u see the garden that it took the master gardener 10 years to create? Did u notice the beautiful parchments in my library?”

The boy was embarrassed , and confessed that he had observed nothing. His only concern had been not to spill the oil that the wise man had entrusted to him.

“then go back and observe the marvels of my world”, said the wise man . “u cannot trust a man if u don’t know his house.”

Relieved , the boy picked up the spoon and returned to his exploration of the palace, this time observing all of the works of art on the ceilings and walls. He saw the gardens, the mountains all around him , the beauty of the flowers, and the taste with which everything had been selected.

Upon returning to the wise man , he related in detail everything he had seen.

“but where are the drops of oil I entrusted to u ? “ asked the wise man.

Looking down at the spoon he held, the boy saw that the oil was gone.

“well , there is only one piece of advice I can give u.” said the wisest man. “the secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.”

The butterfly effect.

For the last couple of days, I kept telling almost everyone the story of butterfly effect at almost aaaaaany context that may (or may not) had had slightest similarity with the movie in one way or another. At last it occurred to me ,why not I write it in my blog ?... so ,here I am :P.

The movie starts with the appearing of a text message about chaos theory ,that goes somehow like “ something as tiny as butterfly's wings might create a tornado.”

What i learned from wikipedia is ,the phrase refers to the idea that a butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that ultimately cause a tornado to appear (or, for that matter, prevent a tornado from appearing). The flapping wing represents a small change in the initial condition of the system, which causes a chain of events leading to large-scale phenomena. Had the butterfly not flapped its wings, the trajectory of the system might have been vastly different.

Once upon a time (in 2004), there was a boy (our hero ) who one day came to know that his father & grandfather were mad (literally) and had spent most of their life time in mental hospital. & he also used to have some “black-out”s -some moments about which he has no memory. And he did weird things like drawing dreadful pictures ,trying to stab someone in those moments. His worried mom took him to a psychiatrist who advised him to write diary so that he could later remember things happened in that black-out period.

Ok ,after that many things happened ,so I should leave that lowdowns to the potential viewers :P . They (mom & son) moved to big city . He grew up as a very talented person (Ashton Kutcher) who got A in all subjects without even touching books ( don’t ask me how :P),just like his father.

One day while reading his past journals , Ashton found out that he could , physically , go back to past by reading his journal entries of those black-out periods. & not only that he could feel any wound that had happened that time.

Bewildered Ashton searched for his childhood girlfriend to make sure that what he saw was not mere dreaming . He found her as an exhausted depressed waitress who had lost all interest about life because of her freak father who used her in his children porn movies. She committed suicide the next day . That stroke Ashton & he decided to change past to make a better future for that girl.& the real thrill begins from here J

Every time he changed something in past ,that made a huge change in future ,that’s why movie called “the butterfly effect “ , but every future had a biiiiiiig flaw. So to delete that flaw he had to change something else from past & thus create another future with another big flaw .

At last he realized that no matter what you do ,life can never be perfect in all respect.

If u r still reading and haven’t get too bored with my prattling (hence with the movie) ,visit its official site.

Eyeing the eyes

For the last few days, I’ve been trying to write this story but never find that MOOD to finish & publish it.

It's about a birthday gift from my brother .

If you are the youngest one in the family, you must have the similar story about how everyone else in the family keep treating you as a drooling baby and sometimes even you forget actually how old you are. That's exactly the case with me. I think even in my 50th birthday my mom ( if alive) will still keep fussing about my street-crossing ability (actually I haven’t able to learn that one yet ,:$ .... but, heeeeeee, I can do other things to prove myself adult, huh)

Ok, enough history for today.

My brother's gift was a book, named “Body language” (:P), a footnote on the cover says “know the nature of a person by his expression". My brother chose this because, according to him, I’m still too naïve to see through one’s appearance.

The book is quite an intriguing one, with lots of eye-catching sketches of eyes & lips and other visible body parts, including, of course, what message that part conveys about you.

Today is the “eye –day", lets eye those eyes.



1. if you have this type of eye, you must be
a. very practical,
b. will acquire success in business or politics.
c. You are incredible in love & other intimate relations as you don’t treat others as a good businessman but as a lover :-)




2. You are an artist who is also sincere and credible ( but not in love I guess :-P).



3. if you are a male with this type of eyes, then you are incessantly getting darted by aphrodite’s son (he he :) ) (don’t even dare to give me a black eye, its what the book says ).

But if you are a female …..there is hope :) ….u MAY prove urself as a good life-partner.



4. People having smaller eye-balls than the contour are found to be proudy and wicked .They will do all that caused pain to others.




& i just can't help uploading this pic ....these are shaila's eyes.
those who don't know shaila ,she is my classmate & an almost saint like person (& according to my mom ,a perfect example of a good girl),or i s s h e ?(suspicious music is badly needed here)



5. you are experienced and highly ambitious and u’ll have a life full of true experiences if you are not so yet.




6.women with this eye are chaste but jealous …….but men with this type of eyes are honest ,genuine ,industrious.




7. you are money minded …… you could do everything for money.





8. you favour changes all the time …….anxious, so can’t concentrate on a single topic ……and loooove all the objects of this world except your life partner….[:|]( I was about to say that these are my eyes, but now, you see ...this book has made me reconsider many facts :P)





9.( ahhhhhhh my fingers are making crackling sound ..)...if you are prone to see everything this way, you are the cleverest and apply all possible tricks to solve any issue.



10. you are irrationally emotional.






at last .....about my eyes.....they are really too small to consider ......

struts for beginners

I could never forget those nightmares where I was in front of my pc-
chewing my pen and tearing my valuable hair figuring out a way to run a decent struts program .Groping something for the first time could be so tough sometimes.

That rift in the lute got healed by imran bhaia (he is our teacher now) and rifat. Though I’m tyro enough in struts to advise others …… but, hey ,who’d better understand problems of a novice than another novice [:D] !

This is first document that helped me back then . Hope it may come to rescue u ,too. :)

u can also join sun's jsp forum , believe me its an awesome forum where everyone (& they r expert too) is on his toe even to answer ur most silly and stupidest question ( about struts,ofcourse :P).

Professor of Happiness

Offffffffffff ........for me starting something is the most ,what to say , dilemmatic,problematic, hair-tearing situation. Once i start it ,i can finish ... but before starting ,offfffffff ,i spend hours in absolute zombie state ,thinking and ruminating and thinking over.
Is that happen to everyone or just me?

Ok , today's story was about book dedication. its the first thing i read in any book. & its the only thing i consider when i buy a book of any unknown writer. So now here is a sweet dedication that i bumped into -

Our 6 year old son David felt mighty big when he was graduated from Kindergarten. I asked him what he plans to be when he finished growing up. David looked at me intently for a moment and then answered,” Dad , I want to be a professor.”

“A Professor? A professor of what ?” I asked .
“ Well, Dad,” he replied,” I think I want to be a Professor of Happiness.”

A Professor of Happiness ! That’s a pretty wonderful ambition , don’t you think?

To David , then a fine boy with a grand goal , and to his mother , this book is dedicated.

the scarlet tide

hello ...here is a re-recorded version of the song ,recored using my microphone.
so don't get mad at me for its sound quality .
and u should thank the morning crows for their contribution in the song.
:)
enjoy (???) the scarlet tide

The Scarlet Tide

Well I recall his parting words

Must I accept his fate?

Or take myself far from this place


I thought I heard a black bell toll

A little bird did sing

"Man has no choice

When he wants everything."


We`ll rise above the scarlet tide

That trickles down through the mountain

And separates the widow from the bride


Man goes beyond his own decision

Gets caught up in the mechanism

Of swindlers who act like kings

And brokers who break everything


The dark of night was swiftly fading

Close to the dawn of day

Why would I want him just to lose him again?


We`ll rise above the scarlet tide

That trickles down through the mountain

And separates the widow from the bride


We`ll rise above the scarlet tide

That trickles down through the mountain

And separates the widow from the bride

..........................................................................
u can hear it from here :) ......

i used to hate weddings.
'cause all u can do there is feeling awkward with lots of people all around but u don't know anyone and no one knows u ,and eat extra oily indigestible food, and just imagining what a sound sleep u could have ,and if u r really unlucky u can also enjoy the crying ceremony of the bride's family, offffffffffff.if they are not happy why r they doing this wedding ??

Now I think its not that bad ,if u have frds there and don’t have to eat (and of course don’t have to watch the bride crying ). And i discoverd this great insight (:P) after attending imran bhai & sonia apu’s wedding .it was really nice ,everyone was laughing ,specially the bride & bridegroom ,and for the first time i felt weddings could be fun too .

ok oviously thats not what i came here to say.
imran bhai's wedding photographer is really nice & he has a website .i love watching other peoples wedding pic whenever i find time.& everytime i see those i just flabbergast why do people waste so much money on weddings?

... we all honor heros for different reasons.

sometimes for their bravery,
sometimes for their daring,
sometimes for their goodness ...

But mostly, we honor heros because at one point or another - we all dream of being rescued.

Of course, if the right hero doesn't come along, sometimes we just have to rescue ourselves. :)
