i have been thinking about it..

I am not going to talk something new or something undiscovered this time. I am just talking about things which most of us or at least few of us know and feel when we sit and think abut things and people.

We generally grow up as a person with time (but sometimes I still feel some people don’t!) and so does our thinking and way to look at life. But in contradiction to the aforesaid statement I think a majority of people just change or remain almost the same only with time. (Here I would like to mention one thing that whatever I m saying right now includes me too and even I mite be the part of the change-growth phenomenon I am talking about).

I would rather call it a plain change in their personality than calling it growth and I have reasons to say that. When I noticed and analyzed the behavior and actions of some people around me (and so many times my own!) then I have come to a conclusion that they haven’t grown up as such. There have been changes in their personality but nothing that would say that yes, they have matured and grown up with time. If I talk about myself then I would definitely say that I have not grown up in various aspects. I have changed a bit but then again u can’t call it growing up (and the reason being my actions and behavior that does not reflect maturity).

In the 2 and a half years I have spent in Manipal I have met so many people and people with completely different backgrounds, thinking and mindset, culture and class and I have tried to read them to quite an extent. And the more I try to read them, the more I get sure about my thinking of different personalities about which I have mentioned in my first post of this blog. I had said there that "no one is similar to another person in this world in any aspect, every1 is unique and different. We just assume or think that he or she is alike me or him or her and by being different I don’t mean superior or inferior I mean just plain different". Why I am talking about this is that people are different and so is their thinking and the reason for the lack of maturity lies in their thinking. Two brothers or sisters mite reflect a complete contrast in their personalities/behavior or two very close friends with similar tastes, hobbies and lifestyles mite portray a complete different picture when it comes to their personality and mindset. The difference in thinking level makes them so different from each. It is the thought process which is responsible for the maturity of one and immaturity of other.

more about Goa and gokarna

hi, first of all a very happy hippie new year 2009 to all of us! i hope this year turns out to be happy literally and brings in peace in our lives..
(In the holidays I have been quite free and so have been thinking a lot about things and thus have been giving a lot of pressure on my tiny brain which is not used to such alien attacks! :-))

I was talking about Goa and Gokarna in my previous post. I absolutely love these two places. i am so attracted by these two places that I don’t think it would ever happen that I don’t happen to go to these two places at least once a year! As I told you before that these two places are different in every aspect (except for the beaches [:-)]) and yet you can not not fall in love with them.

Goa for me is a totally different world. It’s not about partying (I have never drank in Goa!) but it’s more about "The Goa Experience". I had always wondered and thought it’s a foolish thing about why words like spirituality, parallel universe and ultra human experience etc are attached to the place like Goa when all you could do there is clubbing, water sports and yummy sea food! But now I stand at a point where I see and relate Goa to a very 'un-worldly' feeling. What I have experienced in Goa is not something I can experience in Manipal or somewhere even if those gifts are there in my body which is in Goa. It doesn’t feel like what it feels like in Goa. where u let it loose, where u leave the steering wheel but still are in so much control of yourself, realizing every activity which is happing around you but still not wanting to pay attention to it and enjoy those unsaid holy sermon.(:-)). Even the music whether that is ambient or psychedelic (what I listen to most of the time) sounds so much different and ‘meaningful’ in Goa. Every track (which is so much deprived of words) conveys a meaning and makes sense. I don’t think what i have said above will make much sense to those who have not experienced ‘the Goa'. Its the madness you undergo, the force which shakes you like a hurricane and the rhythm which seem to be like the shells floating in the water, those moments when for few seconds you have no idea of what the fuck is going on are priceless and indefinable. I don’t think I will ever forget watching sunset from Curlies, madness at hill top and nine bar and so many other places.

This was about Goa but Gokarna is a totally different experience. There is no trace of madness and any such feeling but a peaced out feeling which takes all your worries off you till you are there and helps you rejuvenate yourself so effortlessly that you very seldom realize before the hurricane inside you is lost somewhere and a calm smile is on your face. The moment you step in Gokarna either by train or by road (I have gone by road on the bike and by train) you start to feel happy and relaxed. You do feel that I don’t have any more tensions and I am here for myself. The walk down the hill or the walk from Namaste cafe to dolphin cafe and ahead relaxes your brain and excites your insight!

This is all i would say about Goa and Gokarna...
