Hand in my pocket

I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah!
I care but I'm restless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry, baby!

What it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite alright
I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette
-Alanis Morissette

Just Do It

This is for all of us who think that life is redundant.
The following lines were written by a kid. It was then used by Nike for its ad campaign.

"Too often we are scared.
Scared of what we may not be able to do.
Scared of what people might think if we tried.
We let our fears stand
in the way of our hopes.
We say no
when we want to say yes.
We sit quietly,
when we want to scream.
And we shout with others
when we should keep our mouths shut.

Why?
After all,
We do only go around once.
There's really no time to be afraid.

So stop. Risk it.

Try something you have never tried.
Enter a triathlon.
Write a letter to the editor.
Demand a raise.
Go, climb the volcano.
Call winners at the toughest court.
Throw away your television.
Bicycle around your country.
Try bobsledding.
Try baby sitting.
Try anything.
Speak out against the designated hitter.
Travel to a country
where you don't speak the language.
Patent something.
Call her.
You have nothing to lose
and everything, everything,
everything to gain.
Just do it."

Science is sacred, Technology is not.
Science expands understanding. Technology now is basically concerned with exploitation.

Zen and the Art of Doing Nothing

This is a sacred picture of the sleeping Buddha. Only a few fortunate mortals have had the good fortune of seeing the Enlightened One in such supreme state of peace. God spoke to me yesterday through Photoshop and GTalk and asked me to share it with the world.

The legend of the Sleeping Buddha is thus:
Llama Shiv was searching for enlightenment. He sought enlightenment from his karma and hence was looking for Truth in the C codes for Data Structure and complex Algorithmns. But the road to enlightenment is hard and filled with core dumps. So he switched to Java. The great cosmic illusion who disguised itself as Head of department made sure that his soul remained trapped in the mortal plane by keeping his mind involved in projects, assignments and extra classes.

Llama Shiv was saddened by this mundane life. Each day was spend in asking questions and each night was spend in finding answers. Sleep was a forgotten friend. Food was a kind foe.
One day it was made known throughout the land of Ettimadai that Buddha, the Enlightened One, the Perfect Teacher, has arrived. Birds sang and flowers all over the place bloomed in welcome. The ATM machine near Dhanalakshmi bank suddenly started working. Tea from the canteen suddenly tasted better. People at the security gate started smiling at people passing by. And trains began arriving on time at Ettimadai station.

It was around 12 in the night when Llama Shiv finally arrived in the presence of the Enlightened One. Tathagatha was sitting under the sacred air conditioner, which filled the room with its divine coolness. His eyes were half closed, reflecting a part of the Infinite Bliss that he was experiencing. The midnight moon cast an eerie glow, but time and space had no meaning for Llama Shiv. With folded hands, Llama Shiv prostrated and asked:
"O Enlightened One, I have tried hard to know the Supreme Truth. I have pursued my goal from morning to night with earnest zeal. Please tell me why the Truth is eluding me. Where amI going wrong."

The Blessed One paused for a long time and then opened the blessed mouth.
Thus spake Buddha:
"SNOREEEE !!!"
And Llama Shiv was enlightened.
(Zen and art of doing Nothing - Chapter 1 )

This is a true story. You may keep this sacred picture in your desk as a protection against work, assignments, or project deadlines. The Sleeping Buddha will guard you against the evil spirits of over-enthusiasm and over commiting of projects.

Know that the heart of zen is a calm mind that is focussed on the Buddha.
