Boundaries of Heaven
When human beings were living in caves.. there were no shopping malls and movie halls.. it is hard to believe that there were NO WINE SHOPS! Still they lived a happy life, otherwise, human population would not reached the current state. They were really happy, think of this: No polution, No global warming, No canned food, No traffic jams, No condoms.
There were also situations when they were very sad like for e.g. when somebody blew wind inside the cave, no one could stay inside as there was no appliance that could channel the 'wind' to a place with lower density. As a result cave men inside had traces of H2S(hydrogen sulphide) in their lungs.. as per the beaureu of enviromental pollution headed by Mr.Fartman Langdon.
While living, it is the state of being happy that we often refer to Heaven... naturally, the state of feeling sad & horrible, is Hell. There is a underlying principle or boundary that seperates this heaven and hell from our normal life. As long as you understand the boundaries of heaven, you can maximize the chances of staying happy in life & minimize the chances of falling out of the boundary directly into hell.
It's not as complex as it sounds. For example, On friday nite, I know its time to visit heaven so I will have whisky with soda. After my 4th round I'll be pretty high and happy... when I pour my 5th one, security alarm will go off.. i'll hear a voice inside me saying "You destination heaven arrived long back. Next stop is Hell".
You see... this is when, I should stop drinking. This is the boundary, 5th round of whisky, that seperates the heaven and hell. There are many evil forces, which are otherwise called close pals, may force you to cross the boundary. Be careful !
Another example to quote: As explained in my first blog "On My Own!", its '10 minutes in paradise' if you take just 10 min in a day. The same can turn into a hell if you have to be on your own for 10 min for every half an hour...this happens wen you get tempted & have 10 chilli bajjis on the road.

Paradigm Free?
After reading my first ever written blog entry "On My Own!!", my friend asked me a very intelligent, smart and a complicated question. "Your blog is too cool but what is 'paradigm free'?"
Often, a difficult question like this will have a simple, straight forward answer like this "Its my nickname in blogspot.com".
The fact is, I have no fkin idea what it means. My team-mate sittin next to me suggested this name, i found it different than usual ones that ppl use.. so i used it.
After that question is thrown at me, i decided to do some research on my nickname..
The meaning of the word "Paradigm" varies based on the context. In general, It means set of basic principles based on which everything around us works. Paradigm also describes the set of one's experiences, beliefs and values that affect the way an individual perceives reality and responds to that perception.
Our thoughts & actions are always confined to a boundary defined by our culture, beliefs & values. We often hear your people saying "Out of the box thinking"? That boundary or box is otherwise called The Paradigm.
So coming back to the question "What is Paradigm Free?" It means, there is no box, no boundaries, no rules..
One can reach the state of "Paradigm free" easily, when they have 4 rounds of wisky on the rocks & 5 mugs of beer and a shot of taquila... wait a minute.. this reminds me, today is friday, its 6pm now and Im still in office. Damn!

On My Own !
Just a thought occured today when Im doing the most important thing which i cannot ignore everyday, when I feel that Im on my own!!, when i realized that is my personal space no one can dare take it away from me.. , when my legs feel the numbness, I realised that im in shit pot for too long...
Yeah, thats the most precious 10 min one get in their life everyday, when you let the burden inside you go free, other worries of life gets lower priority.. Some ppl like me, make the best use of that 10 personal minutes by scrollin thru lost friends in phone book, think of the problems of evolution, read magazines/newspapers that u never would hv noticed anyother time in the house, wonder about the nature.. how input becomes output!
Coming back to my thought, In a day, when do I feel truly myself & relaxed? In dining table? In office? or while in shit-pot for that 10 min?
Food? for thought!!
