One FB friend asked about the reason warning calls are sounded by animals in forest for predators - My thoughts: I guess they still dont know that there is a greater predator who can wipe out all animal population and I strongly feel predators should start giving warning calls!!

We are presently fighting a cause for justice to a tigress killed by a speeding vehicle inside Bandhavgarh NP. Its been about a week now and as usual justice is still 'on the way'. My thoughts presently are - isn't it funny that we fight our own war created by us!

I wonder what will happen to this world without us. Lot of land for animals to live in peace, no global warming, no pollution in the name of development, no disasters like Tsunami/Cyclone/Volcano, no nuclear bombs, no weapons of destruction.....all evils seems to be pointing to one source.

Would we realise or creep to our deaths and the destruction of Earth itself - maybe that's the cycle of existence!

One step forward or two steps backward?

We coin it Development - calculating 2+2 on mobile calculators, driving down to your next street neighbourhood, trying to enjoy nature in airconditioned cars, googling for knowledge sitting at one place and paying lakhs to treat back pain, cutting down forests to make concrete jungle and them blaming global warming for rising temperatures.

If we for a moment whiff back about a century from today - we the same specie would mentally calculate distances, find places without refferring to navigators, climb up 50 stairs at one go, go to doctors for a chit chat only, plant trees to enjoy fresh air, walk miles to meet friends and relatives and not pollute air with cars and in the bargain not have back pains.

So are we going one step forward with so called 'mechanic development' or in reality putting two steps backward?

All these diseases, pollution, global warming, destruction of natural habitat and animals, imbalance in the ecological system are due to such destruction in the name of development - computers, cars, Airconditioners, paper and printers, mobile, electronic appliances at home.

Time we reset our clocks and start learning from our ancestors to live life healthily.

Jump off the train.....

Sorry if the post heading is mis-leading - I am not planning or even giving ideas on how to jump off a train!!

The train has a connotation - for me and by me - its the sequential standard and best practice of Life. You know - the kinds like you are born - pass all the major degrees as told - get a fat job - get married - have first kid - then the second - keep working to climb the corporate ladder like many of your co-passengers - feel satisfied with life - wife and kids - start the same chain with your kids - die in oblivion in your own world. The only motion a man goes through on this train is the change of bogies....

The first half of the journey is definitely confined in the train when you are stuck with your parents in one bogie - then Jump Off!!

Dont catch another train - just walk - enjoy everything around - take in the spirits - hear the music - live life for yourself and others who are sometimes thrwon out of the train - the ones which by their unchosen fate are so-called as ''orphans'', ''deprived''. Gain strength - share love - live and die with a smile of utter satisfaction of experiencing the world beyond the train.

Such smile has been enjoyed by many stalwarts who have inevitably jumped off the train - greats in music - social work - literature who as society say ' live beyond the boundries' and are seldom understood by people peeping out from the train. But this doesnot mean you jump off the train with hopes of becoming the Great!! No-one has ever done that - here consequence is not important - its the journey - discovery - experience - sharing which gives you the smile and not what comes out of it.

No train - no sequence - talk to people - travel - meet souls - give the magic touch - smile with people who are grumpy - touch hearts with whatever you have - smile within when you give and get - enjoyyyyyyyyyyyy!!

Life is beyond just the train - enjoyment is at every corner - pick up your soul - love and enjoy...
