Ghosts and their unfathomable philosophy

The other day we were talking about ghosts and  the spooky stuff they supposedly do. That made me wonder as to why ghosts haunt a house? Why do they prefer to live in a house, like forever? A house is primarily meant for shelter and security.What kind of shelter  or security are they looking for? If it is for neither, then why do they choose to coop themselves up in a house to lead a dreary life after death? We "living" beings have no choice, do we? We are programmed to be cooped up in our respective homes and sometimes, by twist of fate or of the mind, in others too!


 Just imagine what all you could do as a ghost, the invisible form. There are limitless possibilities. You could go anywhere, anywhere at all, to the unseen territory, to the forbidden places, to the places you have never been to before. You could do anything at all, with all the powers you supposedly will possess. 



It would be such fun to go places, with the blink of an eye. 


You could sneak into anybody's house. Watch them. Know them for real. Garner some gossip about them. You can even follow your favourite stars and heroes. Know things about them before they find their way to the gossip magazines.


I would for myself travel around the world, free of cost, sneaking into airports and airplanes. And I guess I could even gorge on the local cuisine of the places ( If the ghosts on TV are anything to go by. These TV ghosts can eat, drink and do all unimaginable stuff ! ).

My message to all the ghosts out there is, stop being vengeful and sadistic; Just pack your bags and go on a vacation. You seem to be utterly stressed out.

The Breath


When Breathing itself becomes hard,
You are breathing but you really are not,
When you can't smell the smell,
Or feel the air within,
Day in,and day out,you are left all alone to gasp,
When all you want is just one deep breath,
The one that will douse the fire deep within,
Do you try harder or let go off it?
Let go off the concept of being without the burning?
Let go off the concept of want?
Just let go off and breathe deep again?

And so,it goes on...


You writhe in pain and wriggle
You smirk, it smarts on the arse and everywhere else, 
But you continue to move on,
For you are not meant to stop,
For it is one of the basic laws, they say,
Laws you can't defy by logic so rational,
But only can by being more so ever foolish,
So as to really see what has to be seen,
So as to really do what has to be done,
And it might not work at  all anyway,
As "Works" or "Not" might not be amongst the  laws,
And everything shall just happen,
And so it shall just go on.

Art,Talents and Randomness

And when you think of it all,and your talents,if they give peace and happines to you,why in the world should you showcase them?

I mean if you really do that,that is put it forward for people to see or hear or whatever,then you invariably become attached to or
atleast seek some kind of response from the audience.

And in the whole process you become somewhat perverse with your idea of art,with your way of carrying out your art,the whole process of art becomes pervert,
for you no longer have the pure intention of pleasing yourself.

And when i say talent it doesn't mean something you have a flair for,something you are skilled at.
It might be singing or dancing or anything else.you might not be particularly good at it.
You might not know the nuances of it.But if you enjoy singing,then sing for the heck of it.

Why should you learn it,aim for perfection and all that,when you get pleasure for yourself when you sing as it is.


Whatever said and done,I have realised that there is a basic urge to get appreciated.Have not been able to make much sense of it though....but,as they say,you can run,you can hide,u you can't escape these "rootless" urges(Somehow,in a vague way i feel these urges have no roots)


And as with any other idea and rationale,this idea here, is bound to be one sided and missing out on many factors,
being constrained with its own limitations and contradictions.

Nonsense in action

Almost all blogs here are what can be called random ramblings. Nothing here is concrete or discrete, with no apparent logic or flow of things, and hence might contradict each other many a time.

They must contradict themselves, because they were never in the first place thought out, born out of analytical reasoning or by applying any law of logic.They follow a random queer logic of their own definition.

They are importantly just thoughts, that come out of nowhere,go nowhere to(yeah some do stick along for uncomfortably long times), but just really happen in your mind.More than being thought out,it is something you just feel in your mind.

But,Whatever follows is essentially no more than crap.Such crap, that the first time you express them, they seem beautiful. But as they grow on you, and you are removed from the initial excitement, you feel they are not good enough, but are quite nonsensical in fact.
