Becausation

Causation is a belief that events occur in predictable ways and that one event leads to another.[1] (Source: Wikipedia).
As usual, I was going through a mid-week crisis this week. Sometimes I think I hate Wednesdays more than Mondays. I can explain why; a week feels like this for me: Monday, I start on a desert safari, by Tuesday I so want to go back home, on Wednesday my imaginary SUV breaks down in the desert. Rest of the two weekdays I desperately search for water until Saturday comes (the greener patch is still so far) and this repeats. 

Good news; some time during this week's mid-week crisis, I logged on to my blogger account after almost three months. Considering that I wrote 25 blogposts in 2012, I figured that there is something seriously wrong or something extraordinarily right with my life. 


I tried to put my hypothesis in to a research paper, starting with sending a questionnaire to myself with questions such as 'who am I?', 'what I do?', 'what I really want to do'. The deductions were interesting, and the conclusion was 'what the hell am I really doing?!' The finding is that there is something seriously wrong and that there is something extremely, pleasantly life changing too! 

So those dull things which I continuously do, made my life even duller. My personal priorities are so messed up that something mundane became the reason of my daily existence. But at the same moment, as a person, I am overwhelmed with some other development(s). This very reason might be the rationale behind this post.

Otherwise, nowadays I do not write, because I do not think about writing anything other than the jobs which are assigned to me. I do not enjoy music as I used to be because I assume that there is no time for that and so on.

I call this 'Becausation'. Why do I call so? Because I can, this is another application of becausation :). 

On a serious note, this weird 'concept' of mine, becausation, occurs when you are conditioned to a daily routine. The only difference between 'causation' and  'becausation' 'is that the former could be real, and the latter is mostly perceived. Simply put, "I do 'this' because of 'that' while I,actually, can do 'this' and 'that' independently". Ought to work on this, and this blog post is an effort towards it.

Later.

'THE' Wednesday

Image
Obviously you know what it would be about, yes the big match today. Normally Wednesdays are like the half finished medicine bottles when you are ill; you know that you are getting well by the end of it but you still have to go through the torture and finish half of it. But this Wednesday, excitement is in the air, as India confronts our neighbour Pakistan in another head-on sporting battle. As we know, India-Pakistan matches are normally considered as the mother of all cricket matches and when it is the semi final match of World Cup, it acts as a natural pacemaker. Just like anyone else, I want Team India to win and it will be extremely delightful to watch Sachin and the boys (don't expect Dhoni and boys from me!) beating Pakistan in this spectacle. But let us keep it in a level where we can see it as a game, with pure sportsman spirit. Yes, I will be sad if anything goes against India in this game, but then we can try and avoid comparisons to terr...

"The green beer hashes onomatopoeia in the urge. Ailurophile fails after onomatopoeia. Will the expertise offend around onomatopoeia? The wonder renders the ruler. Ailurophile destroys the dirt next to the sober tone. How does onomatopoeia struggle after Ailurophile?" Before cursing me, or yelling "WTF!!" at me for writing the above paragraph I solely disown any connection with it except for finding 'Ailurophile' and 'onomatopoeia' from a site and putting it here . We have seen blogs/books/notes etc., which makes no sense but only noise and ultimately disgust through such style of writing (if I can call them so!). According to me, we basically write for two objectives; 1) To express oneself and to share it with a close group of people 2) To impress; mostly to appeal external audience, but the author derives some kind of satisfaction through his work, as people read, understand and enjoy it. There is a third type which is a mix of both, but ultim...

Fragile egos, failing society

We have failed as a society. Damn it, we have failed as living creatures. Malayalis can bury their head in the sand and flash their golden HDI card, while accepting that we are a morally corrupt society. This might come as a surprise, but Madhu would have been beaten to death regardless of his tribal tag. A majority of Keralites find it amusing to pamper their fragile egos by putting their nose in to others business. Ocassionally, this ends up in mob/group violence. Trust me when I say this, we are a coward lot if not in a group. We are apathethic towards stronger enemies. However, when we have our chance, we pound upon the weaker prey, and even kill him. You would not belive when I say that it is difficult to go out with my wife in certain parts of my town (Kottayam) after 7 PM. Young boys would come and peep through the car window, 'ensuring' that nothing illicit is going on. Madhu's case was a tad bit different. He was poor, moreover he was hungry. He had soci...
