The Philosopher

The Philosopher read Vedanta. Heard about Jainism. Read Gandhi. Read Buddha. The Philosopher enjoyed Chiken Tikka.

It is a sin to harm any being.

The Philosopher became a vegetarian.

I dont harm any being.

But is not killing vegetables also violence?

The Jain texts answer this - vegetables feel less pain.
I do less violence at least.

Then he read more on Buddhism.

It is not bad to eat animals who have died naturally - as no violence is involved.

The Philosopher is confused. The desire for that taste, is still strong.

Then he met a Muslim girl. She was a vegetarian.

What! A Muslim, a young girl, a vegetarian!

The Philosopher is dumbfounded.

Why?

"Because I feel pity for the animal."

The Big Man

The Big Man knows the Vice-President.
But does he know his own daughter?

To identify your fears..

.. look at the direction in which you are running.
Directly behind, is your fear.

Dear Scientist

.. I need a time machine
to keep me in the present.

Futile

When you analyse someone, do you reach the truth,
or your own projection?

Its Ambition when..

.. you want the things you dont want.
I can, I can.. you chant.

Because for what you love in life,
Do you really have to strive?

Vocabulary

Some think themselves low
If they do not know
limn, slue, innocuous..
But
forgiveness, friendship, trust ..
I think they are enough.

IIT JEE

The IITs are considered the place where bright, young Indian brains aspire to be. The JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) is considered one of the toughest exams in the world. There are a lot of coaching classes which prepare the students for this examination.

The Physics Coaching class is on. Rotational motion.

Man, I dont know whats happening to me. Never seen such a thing. I feel so heavy.

There are a lot of students in the class. The room is stuffy.

It might come. What shd I do? I guess I can hold it.

"And the angular momentum.."

Yes I can hold it.

Auughhhh !!!!

Ohh.. Finally it came. Feels so light !

"Oops !"
Man. Disgusted looks all around. He has vomitted in the class.
"The class is over for today."

I messed up, but I dont care. I feel great. Feels a big load off me. My mates are here.

The class is over.

Who is this guy rubbing my back. Its Shalaj. I have never talked to him. But what an angel he seems ! Smiling and relaxed.

Shalaj leaves after I feel better. Like a God. Disappearing after his job is done.
All my schoolmates there have left the place. Nobody even asked how I was.

They are preparing for IIT-JEE.

Problem Solving

Sometimes the only way
to solve a problem may
be realizing
You are It.
