Freedom at midnight
so its midnight again!!! , most people especially hostelers would affirmate to the testimony that the zeroth hour are amongst the most rejoicing hours of the day( holds true in my case at least).

Most people including my parents think that i m a subtle patient of what doctors call insomnia, the reason being exceeding ambits of tension regarding studies and over thinking over trivial matters but in reality its the amenity of night-time which encourages me to witness itself; that to an extent of obssession which at times is even beyond my own imagination.

U may call it strange and weird and all i would say to this is that its true, i m a strange person. There are times when i m not able to even justify myself about certain acts forget about justify it to others( yes we do have to do such things if we want to be called as social beings)

hey but why m i saying all this , again a strange phenomenon. anyways my sets of pleasures include
  • reading a romantic novel or even a serious thought provoking one by a feeble light with something to feed on
  • watching the landscape by moon light ( havent had much of an experience owing to the concrete jungle present in the vicinity)
  • watching the queen itself in its full show
  • standing in the balcony and sniffing the fresh air
  • standing by the railings of the balcony and wishing that gravity could become non existent force for a apt duration
  • watching the highway as far as the vision allowed and to the limit that the sleep permits

There are certain more but they cant be mentioned owing to the space. To some this may seem hilarious but to me they the reasons which prevent me from moping and help me enjoy everyday

Can my Good Works Save me ?

Read a recent article about salvation in Jesus Christ which has a intricate yet an open ended discussion on the subject of "SALVATION"

From Ages, n number of philosophers , religious leaders, hermits and modern gurus have tried to answer a way back question " What must i do to attain salvation?" ( A question which has been pondered upon by each one of us at some point of time in our life.) but none have reached to a satisfactory axiom.

As a child the answer seems to be simple and understandable in terms of chapters of moral science but as we grow older its complexity increases by many folds and we always seem to be in doubt about it

Defining Good Works
If the defination is left to us, we the individuals then just can't come to a common conclusion; as what may seem be good to one may not be good according to another

How many fill the Pot ?
Another problems arises as to how many good works are required for attaining salvation and how could one keep a count of it and above all what if the good works done by us are not worthing in the eyes of God?

Eliminating the Bad Deeds
Can we still attain salvation if our good works are greater in number then the bad ones? If what matters is just the end figure this would give a license to many of us to do bad deeds and then get them erased by good ones. More over the defination of a bad work is also equally ambigious as a good one.

Probabality of good works
Our work reveal what we are; rather than what we could make out of us. If our works could make us good, then we would not need God.

An endless journey

Hi to all the special people who share their joys and agonies through this virtual space.

Believe me, i have never been an exegetical writer or even a nice orator. Somehow i have never been able to be a exempler in this domain even when at some phase of my life i really wanted to be one.

Something deep beneath me always forbade me to vent out my deep desires n thoughts even to a priceless n curatorial possession like a diary. Maybe it was the fact that i did not want to leave behind any traces of memory on tangibles , no footprints which could follow ..............

Its not so that i ever wanted to run or hide away from problems like most my beloved ones think , it is just that i want to deal with them in my own way. Maybe the notion seems abortive and rudimentary to most ;but thats just due to lack of familarity and acceptance for some of us.

It was a friend's advice Always take life as a kaleidoscope ,if a certain pattern seems gloomy just change the dimensions n all u get is a marvel. Today i feel more affirmative about it and maybe thats one of the reasons of the alleviation of my pain.

After all it is not that you have lost but what you are left with counts.
