Ignore my flat top & the world would be a peaceful place

Following a back pain due to long distance biking, I started to travel by Delhi Metro. Apart from metro, I also have to take an autorickshaw. It is not cost effective by any sense of imagination. But when you compare the long term cost of paying for medication on my back with my current transportation cost, the latter is far cheaper. To strengthen the back, I have started Yoga as well. Apart from relieving the pain, it has suddenly managed to multiply the limited positive energy within me. So, certain people whom I cursed when it was imposed on me have had the last laugh.

Metro Station is not close to my office. So, while commuting from my office to the nearest Metro Staion, I boarded an autorickshaw. I have just had a very short haircut. More suited to the summer. Not to deny, I hate being commented on my receding hairline & the flat top growing my head. I have never been too obsessed with my looks anyways. So, as I de-boarded his rickshaw, He says, "Saahab, ek suggestion hai aapke liye.."..I looked at him & guessed from his tone that he was about to embarass me to the best of his abilities, but still I said, "Bolo.."..."I will tell you what you do. Put some sarson ka tel in a container. Put some Magnet inside it & place the container on a magnet. By god, aapke saare jhadte baal ruk jaayenge. Maan ke dekho, mujhe yaad karoge..." he said. I looked upto him & was speechless. After thanking him, I left fuming. It was for the umpteenth time that I was listening to a suggestion on growing my hair back. My god, it is so irritating...

Is it not possible for a 26 year old to have a receeding hair line? Why are people so obsessed with perfection? I do not seem to fathom that from where do we get these ideas of perfection. Our constant struggle for perfection & comparison with the best. Striving for excellence. My Sister is constantly worried about the performance of my nephew in school. Her concern? My 3 year old nephew is not able to draw properly & hence will lag behind in life. Why cannot we allow people to be themselves? Of course sometimes course correction is imperative, but that does not mean that it becomes an obsession.

It is hard to understand the logic of God to have had so many parameters for making a man. If only the recipe had been simpler, the world would have been a peaceful place.

Randomness

I am not a science student. Been too lazy too understand it, but have always been intrigued by its findings. Sometimes even yearned the dream of being a science student. Anyways, there is this thing about atoms. Particles or whatever they are. They keep bouncing off each other and with other objects around them. If not disturbed, they have nowhere to go and nowhere to settle. Last few days have been like that. Bereft of all thoughts and feelings. Some thoughts kept connecting and disconnecting to each other like waves on a river. Must have been to do with my grandmother's demise. I never quite understood the melancholy surrounding death. Dont we all know that its inevitable? Whatever be the age. Never heard of atoms stuck to each other. May be there are some things science still cannnot explain.....
