many a times while strolling down the thought lanes i halt i halt and become surprised and numb because despite being in company for thirty six years i rush into some moments of mystical strangeness as if "what am i doing here" everything appears and feels strange the body the surrounding and i indeed also feel inside these contains that i am being played and there is a sudden rush of "being lost" if i dont return because the familiar when estranged becomes strangely familiar though filled with void which i am only ready to avoid.

If I were to tell you right now, that you may leave anything and everything you are doing, and get out and walk for a 20 kms, what would you do? Well almost 100 percent of you would call this a hoax or a gimmick or ask for reasons or even if you believe (that is some of you know me well) then you would give me accounts of your priorities and the etcetra orchestra. The accuracy of this, lies in the fact that your "agency of will", "the double-edge of your rationality", and the "energy management of your body" hasn't budgeted for this action. So what exactly happened when you read the first statement of this email? Your mind scanned the statement ... made some meaning out of it and then referenced it to your "will", "priority plans", "budgeted body energy expenditure", "habit trials and trails", "my trustworthiness", "my importance", "readiness to experiment...

let me stop my mechanic-mechanical self for sometime ringing the five sense bells separately clothing close the visual bell, it doesn't ring anymore, gatekeeping the sound bell, distinct sounds allowing entry to few, only emergency can gatecrash, else trying a smooth usher ... crow rows car honk and some car monk construction material mixer mixing sounds of different earth kitchen becoming a sound studio, many instruments and notes playing to the taste ... all sounds arising and falling and arising again and falling again, only continuity in the "again" many agains gain a pattern they enter the mind cosmos inside there is a festival of the manifested new entrants always first greeting the primed...the familiar inside, much like we going to a party, first reaching out to people we know, and then somehow most times and most us not reaching the new ones, afraid of the unknown as it is not our own ... (m)any known dancing together ...

Indian Philosophy is referred to as "Darshan Shastra" ...meaning to see...hence "seer"-ship...optical correction, perception correction, belief correction. What even Buddhism refers to as 'Eho pasiko"...come and see for yourself. Perception hence perspective change leads to happy-healthy-together possibilities. Happy Dussehra. Happy Opt.

Blame is the ability to delegate the responsibility to someone else. While delegation is good, owning mistakes is better that leads to character building...world is looking for authentic humans. Also in case, where there is not enough data to prove the error or mistake, its better to seek more information. In any case, its better to keep the situation as the focal point of discussion and not the person. After all, we are all work-in-progress (WIP) and human life is summed up as the journey from WIP to RIP. Its been proven by scriptures and science alike, that keeping oneself off from the blame game is a good healthy-happy sport. While the title appears to only talk about India, its a symbolic representation of humanity in general and extends beyond the geographic parochialism of the crisis.

Whether it scapes our attention or escapes our attention, we are always playing the "now". Maybe, we heavily host the past or lean to future, hence crowd out the  expansive "being" awareness. Playing "Now" through several contemplative tools like mindfulness/meditation, enables the moral compass + creativity sparkplug.
