Boy and his ship - myth of 'me'

It's SEPTEMBER 2019 the day when the beloved Indian deity 'Ganpati' is officially immersed to make his way back to his home. This year was just like another year no difference but there a story worth telling.

I am an atheist I don't believe in something external driving us to a predetermined destination! But that doesn't mean I am not spiritual. I respect the creation and its creator. The story is about a boy and his ship handcrafted in February 2019 by a special-purpose vehicle created by the Society of Indian Peers.

A lonely boy and his way to the self-renaissance, evolution as a human, and calming the burning soul. Healing is what is needed for a wounded soldier rather than some cash prizes.

Ok then the story starts in February at Bandra Railway Station, I am calling some friends to meet and I am high on some tension that I really don't know what's happening around me. I meet my friends after a long time at Andheri we spend some quality time together, as usual, I do some blunders while ordering food. We discuss future plans Uncertainty is what is clearly seen in our eyes. While returning I meet a guy (the bow), Viral Mehta a diabetic doctor who is somewhere interested in my ideas he said some one-liner, don't think of too much of a dream project, start doing the market the economy creates space for anything you wish, doing is a process thinking is an action during process.

In peer pressure, I do something out of desperation (this is the first time emotion overpowered me) I take a job, I am happy but at the same time feel lost I console myself unemployment feels lot worse. I do my job but consider myself left out I am never respected in the organization, okay I had no credibility to deserve respect but I was left out for many weeks, sure I am an introvert I don't speak to people, but I was feeling being trapped then a friend Mr Rinaldo(the stern
) Consoled me out, and another guy Deven(The hull) thought me how to let things go, Some of my learnings.
1. Corporate greed is real
2. Ass licking Morons do exist
3. Corporate Luxury is real I stayed at 'The Oberoi'!
Utterly misbehaving people and Moronic bosses, how did they become so successful? My boss had some really great marketing skills but still, he was the most greedy, selfish, and barbaric person I had ever met in my entire lifetime. I experienced Jealousy for the first time in my life, this greedy world had started to have a negative impact on me. Observing people in the train would give me hope, everybody is fighting life, but the fight is for stability, not growth this is something that is still bugging me.
Among the same crowd, there was a guy a professional from the pharmacy industry. This guy tried to escape this rat race three times with different business plans but has failed each time and is still trying to escape even after 7-8 yrs of experience in the industry, we open up to strangers very nicely  I asked him almost everybody in this entire coach is about stability what makes you different to which he replied freedom and sanity, the story goes like this, His daughter had a medical emergency and I predicted any other general story of not getting leave and some tragic scenes but this was different, it was a story of self-realization, at the time of her consultation he was asked some questions to which he didn't know any answers which included very basic questions like what's her blood group. He said to me "My daughter is already 5 yrs old and I don't have any memories to cherish" I have a large loan to pay but I need her to know me truly I don't want her to answer the question to what does your dad do? as he works for some company, I want her to answer it as he teaches me, he cares for me something like that", in conclusion, he wanted a better work-life balance, but my gut says there's more to it.

Just a thought "Objectification" the real cause.

Just a thought, men objectifying women is a trending topic, yes feminism is good, the female gender should be respected and treated equally, but there is another kind of objectification that is bothering me. Workforce objectification!
Let me share some key concepts which are thought in industrial management and practiced in real grounds,
Taylors rules:-
Use of slow-motion cameras to capture workers movements and analyze them for maximum productivity.
Doesn't this sound objectification?
There are many such rules being researched in the industrial management community, there is a whole concept of work and time study which neglects the physical and psychological cost to workers with the ultimate aim to improve production efficiency.
How can the society develop sensitivity towards human beings if such things are embarked upon?
Prominent personalities like Taylor and Gilberth were heavily criticized for their studies but the greedy industrial world uses it to improve their yield.
Such managerial thoughts need an absolute makeover and to  do it the first thing we can do is remove such kind of ideologies from our curriculum because it has a very different impact on the 'professional mind' (a state where only work completion is the priority)

2018 A year that made me realize the reality of dreams!

  Here now standing on the wedge of uncertainty, I now understand the subtle growth which I had over the years, everything was spontaneous back then, never really thought of a meaningful existence. No suddenly toxic gases of uncertainty, competition, choices & chances, have depleted my ozone shield and brought me to the harsh reality.
  2018 thought me the importance of present, the virtues of past, and proved choice defining Butterfly effect of future. Its saw the transition of "What? When? Where? How?" to "Something? Somewhere? Somehow?" and then finally to "This? Here? Now?"
  This year changed me from being an impenetrable stubborn to being a liberal geek. This year brought up the free thinker inside me, I started listening to others, respecting their views, And got a new perspective towards society.
  2018 started on a high note our work was being recognized, we just has a good experience a recent competition and so were filled with positive energy, entered the new year with a sublime goal. Goal to exceed in exams and be a product designer. Another goal was to make our idea into a product, the Holographic 3d energy field. Which High energy we entered the new year worked hard, it was end of January and Design entrance, Result- Failure, Reason- Bounded Ideas. Next month 'GATE', Result- Failure, Reason- lack of interest in mechanical engineering.
  A heap of unanswered questions occupied my mind, they demonized my mind, corrode it, made me feel like end, everyday I woke up and 1st thing in my mind was What's next? When? How?
  Days passed, me being a weird introvert didn't had anybody to share my feelings. In the meantime I had an amazing trek at the kalawantin hills. The journey enthralled me, calmed my mind, gave me vision of near future, I saw my idea becoming a reality.

 Next couple of months worked hard ideated, made a cool holographic lens presented at VNPS- annual showcase of our college didn't the prize, next day won the prestigious 'Bizmasters' and a heavy cash reward too. 

 Things were just starting to get better, but again  demons of life intercepted, Got rejected in two companies, but this time consoled myself with temporary answers like something, somewhere, sometime.

  College fests, something which I truly enjoyed this year, the cultural days, the events, the last DJ night, the satirizing moments of failed dance attempt of some group members, memorable moments there. 

 Then we had the farewell party but it was not as emotional as it sounded, probably because we still had a month of college left or it was just something I personally felt, it was emotionless yet disturbing by the fact that many has chosen their next career move I has on haunted question of what's next?

Still the night was best and unforgettable, a comedy of errors, a friend lost his bag in an autorickshaw

and we searched like menial, we followed every autorickshaw resembling the once in which he forgot his bag, scanned CCTV footages, but no avail, calling off the search operation we boarded on the last train to return home. 

Days passed, finals semester  exams, last paper, a final bid adieu to amazing four years of life, some efforts, some experiences, some teachings, some learnings, some memories, amazing friendship and a final curtain call with dreams. Some lines written by me on the occasion.

It doesn’t count for success or failure
It’s the friends you make
It’s the road you choose
At the end of this cliff I see an ocean of opportunities,
 Creating my destiny
But,
Looking back I see the adventures,
Journey with amazing friends
Journey through unforgettable experiences
Journey amongst the vibes of vibrant aura

Now it’s our final curtain call to the college who gave blissful memories
Standing under its shadow I realize
 Good Bye! Never thought it was so hard to say
Never know when we will experience such beautiful moments again
Never know when we shall make fun of professors again
Never know when we will bunk lectures again
Never know when we will pull each other’s legs again
Never know when we will Experience such spontaneous connections again
Never know when we will group together again
Some memories are created, some are experienced, but some make permanent stay in mind
Many say engineering results in nothing , but for most important take away we have lifetime bonds,
4 years of celebration and an infinite pool of imaginative thoughts! 

After exams traveled to native place in north Maharashtra, experienced lives there was there just for sake of it , mind was still wandering, could not immerse myself there but still enjoyed at my level. Returned home not alone my cousin brother who happens to be of similar age accompanied me. We shared old memories, created some new and bonded together similar childhood days.

 Now attended a distant cousins wedding and has my best time of year there , some moments to be remembered for life. Got a spark of life's purpose.

 I now had plans to make to achieve goals, I want to achieve a lot, now time is a constraint, I has a spark, I had a goal, I had a purpose and I had the plan ready.

  Another wedding in family, some days of enjoyment back to nest to study hard. 

Nature again made an obstacle, I was detected with dengue and lost much time there, I was on medication, I was admitted. It was a big deal though. It thought me the importance of Compassion, Family and profound importance of time.

 Studied for September, October, November 

December had something special, Something good happened to give a spark , Our startup idea was selected amongst top 80 entries at Eureka IITB, attended workshops there, brought new energy, awakened dreams, rejuvenated joy and hope, interacted with amazing people, gave birth to new spirits and now at end of year awaiting further results.
  2018 also saw me learning vehicle driving, innovating in kitchen, organizing myself and most importantly it thought me the power of basics.
  2018 gave me GOAL, Friends who believe in me, it nurtured ideas, and most importantly it gave me TIME.

  2019 Brings with it rising sun of new opportunities, rays of new hope, humanizing light, compassionate breezes, creative aura and success defining environment.

The Arora of autumn 2032

       Its 5:40 AM so my rug automatically pulls itself off my body, Morcon my digital companion beeps near me so I need to get up as there’s no snooze facility .I step over the wakemat and it gives me a motivational quote to start my day on a positive note. I stand before the mirror and my daily health routine check is done. The mirror displays ‘Had a high calorie dinner yesterday, cheated your diet!’ and frames exercise sets for me. Morcon rushes in and tells Rohit is waiting at the arête, my exercise location Morcon sets the schedule and I jog to the arête as I jog the pods accelerate and so I reach in about 15 minutes for the 128 km long journey morcon has already set the exercising stuff and a drone monitors our exercise at the arête (The arête is a specially built urban exercising location amidst nature with natural breezes and healthy environment connected to the cities and towns by a special jog_pod facility to ensure you exercise and also reach quickly).

As I reach home to my surprise there’s a burglar caught .The burglar was taking advantage of open window but house tags catches him .The burglar was extra smart he even did make up too look like me he also got a DNA sample and started emitting EM waves it developed and as the security analyses my DNA number from a distance using the super_plasma tech he cleared the security level but later got caught due to retinal biometric mismatch. The police are informed automatically and he gets punishment of surrender of all his HE credits (HEE means Harm to earth and environment, and some HEE credits are assigned to ever citizen that allows him to live i.e. use energy and other stuff harming earth as there’s no way out so a control is imposed by HEE credits) and also he gets a tag embed in his body connected to the genetic computer to track his activities and for 3 years.

Now I get a bath get dressed and I go in my indoor garden for getting fruits and vegetables for breakfast grown. I have my breakfast and the wet garbage is automatically collected into the common pit and supplied to food tailors on a daily basis and everyone gets a bitcoins depending on his contribution. Now Its 8:50 AM and I need to get to work I call Morcon and he gets me a hologram of my personal mobility I set the parameters of my mobility today and customise the design like a sculptor, morcon gets his efficiency and aerodynamic calculation in the back and I design a cool vehicle everyday based on my need the hologram is printed and assembled in minutes and my Car is ready for my mobility. As public transport like hyperloop, underground pods, and pod taxis and personal transport like e-bikes and e-skates are encouraged I get taxed every day for using car as my personal mobility!! Even I lose some of my daily HEE I make up for them.

At work I have a couple of another AI assistants but these are based on new skill sets and are not simply based on machine learning the are genetically driven by millions of genetic codes. These allows to get predictive analysis based on consumer approach and thinking. My firm designs light driven motors for space based solar energy satellites which provide solar energy for 24 hrs. a day. As I am working for the satellite launch from dronepad with aerogel propulsion (Aerogel prolusion technology uses levitation in air concept to launch satellites, rather than a solid/liquid prolusion technology involving wastage of gallons of fuel) Morcon Gets to me with a message send by doctor that my real time data shows a growth in platelet count and needs to be cured immediately. So I save my work and am hurried to the insight medical facility at the office (Insight Medical facilities doesn’t include doctor’s but there are interfaces for prior treatment and first aid cure) my whole body data is taken for analysing through a augmented twin and is compared with the data of my body at my optimum health, So doctors suggest a small medical procedure to undergo. They insert 3d printed tissues and laser defined curing modules at a nanoscale and the treatment is done. I am on my way home now and learn that morcon has been non-responsive so I check with the holographic interface and it gives me a real time data about an earthquake which has shut down many mobile towers, now the disaster management team sets up potable towers on drones immediately to restore connectivity and help in disaster management, The whole properties were restored by Ground vehicles with assistance of Aerial vehicles.

// the above text gives a glimpse of future tech, although much of it seem to be fantasies today but still achievable thanks to whole bunch of designers and engineers worldwide. Our lives would change considerable due to the tech but still evolution and growth are need of mankind  .

The Return of Team Rocket

         Team Rocket ,the moment you here this you mind gets suck either by NASA or 'Jessie, James  and Meowth ' but the latter one brings a cute smile on our face and we just get lost in nostalgia our innocent memories as a kid. The times when we were dreaming to be in the world of Pokémon or in the toy-land of Noddy and waking up in the Mickey-Mouse clubhouse. Life seemed to be so bold, filled with curiosity with unbounded thoughts taking us high into the heavens, life be so fast then a moment we are in toy-land and in the other we fly back in to the time into the stone age to meet Fred and Wilma from The Flintstones. The transitions we made back then were amazing and beautiful, we spoke meaningless sentences, played illogical games and we were ever wanderers.

         Childhood teaches us a lot gives us a new perception attaches us to our roots and priceless loving memories become our greatest wealth. It doesn't end here we remain always a child just our approaches of seeing thing changes, education imparts us but also takes from us our ability to make everything a reality in our minds. So we see everything with a constrained vision and here we lose our childhood, the moment you restrict your ability to be an ever wandered you lose your childhood.

         Everyone has one true wish, to get their childhood back yet it's an illogical fantasy, Wait if illusions can cause drastic changes in our thought pattern over the years from childhood to teenage then even reverse mapping can get us the highly energetic sincere and peaceful world we need, that doesn't happen and should not. The world is a game a challenge with everywhere there are difficulties, difficulties due cultural preferences, difficulties due to differences in thoughts and such challenging situations are faced in almost every part of world and nobody has escaped from it. In workspace we have over demanding authorities, in todays colleges we have nefarious colleague and even faculties. The world in not like your childhood dreams you have to make it as per your dream.

         Every link is interconnected with some or the other node so as our deeds. We are here today  because of our deeds back then and what we will be tomorrow will be a result of our deeds today. Pretty simple and obvious but every moment causes hurdles and these hurdles have a tremendous impact on our deeds this is where your psychology as a child matters the most the Team Rocket has shown its presence as such hurdles and you need to defend it to claim glory and build your dreamland .Because getting inspired from childhood heroes is some of greatest inspiration to us.

         So when we feel depressed or demotivated remembering childhood dreams can surely help us tackle the trickiest situation life imparts on us.

Serendipity

      Serendipity, a fortunate happenstance a new realization. All us have a common thread in our lives, the intangible thread looking for something we all call 'fortunal paradise'.Yes we all strive thought our lives to achieve it and during different stages of our life we add labels to it, labels to our dreams and goals.

       He too had a dream about his paradise ,and at a point after we realize that the true fortunal paradise he meant to achieve is now hidden deep beneath our own labels, he is walking aimlessly with dwindling dreams gazing through the winds. After a point of time he is suddenly struck with real difficulties and circumstance so now he crosses paths and continue walking towards something which he don't have a single idea of . Life becomes a misery and he has given up on the hope for a hope. He is now surrounded by ghosts , the ghosts of fear and he just run, run and run aimlessly and then he accepts that he made some wrong decisions and for seconds of fun ruined life ,looking back he regrets every single label he added and cries deep down, the ghosts are still following him and then he rather than running again turns back to  .................................

      The above mentioned words may look like a generalized frame from any action movie in which the hero races against all the odds and finally succeeds. Still we all go through the mentioned phases  somewhere in our lives the only difference is the ending which can turn the boat upside or make it to the heavenly shore.

      Mistakes are inevitable for all of us so as failures and criticism arising out of them. Then again they say given a chance I shall conquer all of you, But why ask for it chances and opportunities lie everywhere around you should develop the ability to catch the pulse and at perfect time the world have a tendency to forget and it does forget the past and you move towards the heavenly shore .

       And that's Serendipity its not by luck or unintentional its due to your perception the fruit of your hardships, the seeds of success from your failures and outcome of your true heart .

      So yes Serendipity do happen but they don't happen overnight there is a huge amount of hardships and sacrifices associated with it every time you do something learn from it failure's or success doesn't matter the only thing that matter is the trueness of purpose and the goal is all yours

     Be ready you may get  a step closer to your goal in the most unexpected way you would have thought,
