Random thoughts

[these are absolutely random thoughts. i regret the incoherent and confusing write-up.]

The more I try to look at the simplicities of life (i.e if there r !!! ), the more they get complex (as if they were not !!!) and I give up (did I have to even try??!! )
Then again there are times when I find in those complexities some simple thoughts and simple pleasures. I am being paradoxical, you would say. I will agree. But I cannot help it.
Human mind is probably the most complex of all creations. It has the ability to create things more complex than itself (if u remember ur school/college days, you cannot help but agree). The thought that this whole universe(including the human mind) is created with just five elements (if you believe it. i am not sure) sends me into fits of wonder. Impossible I say. Not just because of the complexities but the opposing natures of various creations and the wide disparities. But who knows. On smaller range the same thing happens in Chemistry. So I continue to ponder (do u think my mind is wrking overtime??).
I then extend this to thoughts. We cannot look into somebody else's mind and see what's cooking. Forget abt others, psychologist say there are aspects in our own mind which we have not explored. But once in a while when a glimpse some intangible thoughts comes close to my perception, it gives me a shock. Some of them are so close to my own mind that I wonder if i was looking into a mirror and some so far away that their origin remains a mystery i dont want to know.
But more than that wat I find difficult to comprehend is that ppl whom i suspected to know are so different from wat i thought them to be and whom i never got to know r so much like me. And do these realisations affect? 'No' i will say. Am I pretending to be someone else? May be not exactly but some beliefs have taken roots and i am unable to shake them of just like that... may be i dont even want to. Is that called pretention?
These seldom matter. A speed-breaker in the journey of life may be but life goes on soon with the same pace as ever. And I am back to the quest of simplicity in complexity to find just the opposite. (oops!!! did I mess up somewhere??!! )

will agree about the complexities of the human mind , especially after reading this extraordinarily complex concoction !!! and that too , when your periodicals are on ... hmmm
quite complex , i'd say ;)

Oh my God!!!!
Anks your mind has really started working overtime!!!!

Well I too agree with the complexities and simplicity of human mind and this universe.

But this has really confused me ..i mean i need certain explanations which u'll not give that i know:(

Anks said...

hey anki,

thinking quite a lot....!

i read somewhere that 'simplicity and complexity are twins!' how about that?

I echo ur words " absolutely random thoughts"...and in full agreement with "Human mind is probably the most complex of all creations"...I wud just like to say that the rate by which u r making ur posts complex and far above the level for normal ppl(like me)to comprehend is probably exponential;-)
Anyways i will still keep trying:-)
Bbye.

Hi Anki !!!!

Hmmm Complexities and Simplicities... :) .. It is all but as deep as you dive, as unfathomable as you measure, as simple(or comlpex) as you percieve it to be... may be this is where the domain of our minds stops to comprehend or realise anything/any phenomenon fr sure, and it can only imagine or Assume the things to be the way it can visualize....
[for ex., we can Actually change sm1's(n even our if we try) response to any fixed event by simply talkin' to him/her n altering his/her state of mind.]

Ahem, wel those who do endeavor to think beyond the obvious, can appreciate it (your post) more..which is but an intro to the extensiveness of Life..

ah yes..I think your mind IS wrkin overtime Moon..(:D).. but then occasionally it makes us feel better (when we observe tht our efficiency has increased).. IF it is NT fr any mischief or Calvin act :D
tc bbye

This is my second new year after I shifted back here. Last time went in a blur. I sat in a corner, remembered the last new year and cried. ...
