God Of The Malls

Author : Krishna Rao      Blog : Mythistical      Date : 5/21/2013 12:55:00 AM

'Gleefully shopping for their personal desires, you can see the malls overflowing with teeming millions. Hong Kong which is the shopping destination for the millions of Chinese, come for a days visit with empty suitcases and go back with their fill. The malls with glitzy shops are crowded with these beautiful people. The salespersons in these wonderful stores are a harried lot. At the end of the day there are piles of folding to be done, objects to be put back in places, nooks a(...)'

My Life Sucks! Not Yours!

Author : Krishna Rao      Blog : Mythistical      Date : 5/20/2013 2:40:00 AM

'"She has it on a platter, whereas my life sucks", you say!  Everyday life is very humdrum and tasteless. Excitement comes once a while in the form of certain weather, life or health conditions. If there were no such altering situations in our world you would be bored to death. Just imagine eating the same old cereals every single day of life! Now you may say you have the most boring life of all. Of course not! Everyone has. Including Oprah or Obama. Every single (...)'

Knowledge Is Inside Or Outside?

Author : Krishna Rao      Blog : Mythistical      Date : 5/19/2013 4:22:00 AM

'The transitioning phase of knowledge from physical to mental would start now. We have read books, watched movies and television, listened to talks and heard over the waves, felt the object for heat and cold, etc. These are all external form of transmission and receipt of some kind of knowledge. You need some sort of impulse from the external world to understand that knowledge. If I go to the basic instinct we can say that the fishes and birds are programmed by their internal kn(...)'

Fear Of Failures And Destiny!

Author : Krishna Rao      Blog : Mythistical      Date : 5/17/2013 11:38:00 PM

'We all suffer from fear of failures. Even before you have tried you believe you will fail and not able to face people after that. But you have made judgements even before you have attempted? Isn't it strange that you are preempting destiny? This uncalled for presumptive fear throws up multiple reasons for not attempting something in life. Take the case of Arjuna, he backtracked and laid down his arms even before the start of the battle. He started giving a million reasons why h(...)'

'Every human being feels its a touch and go situation in life. They all agree their case was the toughest and highly unlikely. Remember you still say that you have gone through toughest times and no other has any idea how difficult it was. The result was so much in their grasp and everything was going as per the plan and then something happened. The obstacles suddenly appeared from nowhere. Then your goal was far from achieved. No one could achieve that which you did. You fought(...)'

'Empowerment of women is the buzzword and even Christian Amanpour is writing about it. She says that woman need to be empowered with education. I agree with her. We have seen so much of oppression and tyranny on women that today it has become the need of the hour. It's said that women make better parent, hard working and extremely compassionate. Here I disagree on some things. Let me tell you how the world will stack up once women become empowered. There is no need for(...)'

Vanprastashram Follows Grihastashram!

Author : Krishna Rao      Blog : Mythistical      Date : 5/16/2013 7:39:00 AM

'I was seeing a Ted Talk and the lady spoke of getting into marriage for the purpose of companionship and security in later half of life. To find a life mate who understands you, bears children, rears them, provides a home and so on! In India right from ancient times, the sages knew all that was hogwash. There is no such thing as happily married ever after. They spoke of four stages in every human being. The first is childhood and youth, next is householder, next is going to the(...)'

Junk DNA Or Useful Life?

Author : Krishna Rao      Blog : Mythistical      Date : 5/15/2013 11:27:00 PM

'Today I realized how flimsy the human relationships are. An old man sat next to me in the bus and asked me my age telling me how wonderful my white hair looks for 50 something. Then he proceeded to take out a Christian propaganda literature on old age and Jesus. I listened to his prattle and then he told me his age. 80+! I was amused at the vigor and strength that he displayed. He then targeted another person on the bus and moved on. People do not talk to each other in public t(...)'

Looks Can Be Deceptive

Author : Krishna Rao      Blog : Mythistical      Date : 5/14/2013 11:33:00 PM

'Looks can be very deceptive and you can make false judgements based on them. Have a look at all the sexual offenders in recent times and you will be amazed at how innocent they seem! Now think at your own deception. You have been called a conniving, deceitful and vengeful person or a kind, compassionate and doddering old fool. You really wonder which of these aptly apply to you. On your facial front you have brown catty eyes with a wicked glint and square jaws and on the other (...)'

The aliens are all so weird and villainous. They are mean and have really cool space ships whereas we have junkyard collections. Their commanders are heinous and talk omg English.

Hungry For Food And Greed!

Author : Krishna Rao      Blog : Mythistical      Date : 5/13/2013 11:53:00 PM

'I saw somewhere people are looking for satiating the hunger, so they are looking at grasshopper as food! Now this world is full of edible stuff and even the long legged creature could be one such type. I believe over one billion people are going hungry so we need to give them good diet. Just a few days ago I wrote on how people in Darfur survive in less than £1 per week. Assuming that we need to feed one billion, we require £1 billion per week which translates into £52 billion (...)'

Be The Master Of Your Own Destiny

'The formal education makes monkeys out of humans. Vocational training doesn't make us common sensical. Now that's a very narrow minded approach. You can come up with pros and cons for both these methodologies. You can keep on arguing till dawn about both yet I can assure you that both are neither right nor wrong. Every year you have committees and councils appointed to make education more learnable. And every single year they debunk past methods and expect their own to giv(...)'

Your attention span is just a few seconds and here it's all crap and you seem to waste your precious time here. Ok! I get it. You could never understand because its beyond your ken and understanding.

Are We Evolving Or Devolving?

'The universe is made of those species which can survive all the odds. Darwin came up with the theory called, " theory of evolution". Only those who could adapt to the changing environment and were strong enough could survive. The weak got eaten, destroyed, became extinct, became a newer species or just disappeared. Take the case of dinosaur or dodo bird. Now we are all so much bothered about saving tiger and so on. We call them endangered species. Now let us take up the human b(...)'

What Makes One Drink?

Author : Krishna Rao      Blog : Mythistical      Date : 5/8/2013 11:15:00 PM

'Someone had asked on their Facebook wall what makes a person drink? Lets start at the beginning. Every person has two kinds of tendencies. One that is inherent from past lives and the other is acquired in this one. This is true for every other habit of that person. The way they are built up is actually from these two sources. Then there are two other factors necessary for the purpose of his actions. One is destiny and the other is called free will. Destiny is a fixed path (...)'

'You have often been ridiculed for your size, your girth, your color, caste or your intellect. Then there is always someone superior to you to whom you are compared to. Now if you say you haven't gone through this kind of attacks in childhood, you are damned lucky. There are people who are done that even after they have grown up. Why are you always a butt of joke in someone's life? Don't you have any self esteem left in you after facing this all the time, someone may say. But wh(...)'

'We look at life through a series of pictures and stories. In ancient times the sages and great authors told stories to convey meanings to the people. Later as time passed the great kings organized story telling competitions. The beautiful books from the past reveals us these things. Take the case of Iliad, Ramayana or The Arabian Nights. In today's day and age it's the media which shapes our life. We read books, watch movies and serials or read newspaper or Internet. The media revol(...)'

'Fear and the power of creating delusions in man. Fear appears in man because of ignorance and hyper active imagination. As a child you might have been afraid to go in a dark room and with your imagination creating ghouls and ghosts in there who are waiting to gobble you up, you were more terrified. Sometimes a big bully or a strict teacher created that fear in you. One of your parent was extremely demanding too. These were bogies of your past childhood and now it's either your boss(...)'

'Man never sees goodness in another person unless that other is some relative, friend or is endorsed by the world. You may feel that your mother is the greatest gift from God to you. Even your friend is a gem. A Mother Theresa is a Godsend. But ask yourself this do you believe the person sitting next to you is a good person? You look at him with suspicion. If someone were not to offer you their seat in a crowded train then that person is your enemy. If the teller at the bank says he (...)'

'I am often asked if there are two sets of rules and my answer is yes, there are! The material worldly always assume that their world has only one set of rules but ask the monied or the knowledgable and they will prove you that for them there are separate sets of rules which They write themselves.
