The mountain between us

The film mountain between us is a simple story. A storm, A mountain, two professionals, one recklessly sick pilot and a dog. Meagre ingredients for a movie. But the movie touches you deeply. Hits you hard like the sinking Titanic and it's soulful background track. The mountain in the movie is the metaphor we all have in our relationships. It's the mountain and the storm that brings people closer. The lonely souls wandering in the sea of souls, looking for something neither knows.

It's so true in our modern lives. We are all living busy lives, chasing dreams. Then life takes over sometimes, creating situations and circumstances that gets us meet people whom we were otherwise never going to meet. Call it destiny or karma or whatever you choose. But these people, places and circumstances help us reach deep within ourselves and find us the anchors in the sea of life. Then life is never the same anymore...there is positive vibrations all around and we follow the vibrations to reach the person or persons our souls have been waiting for, giving us the feeling of completeness in our lives. Brilliant movie. Felt like listening to an orchestra, where every beat and tune together felt outstanding. A must watch.

Humanity is lost!

We lost ourselves when our quest was overtaken by greed. First, we wanted to learn - the earth, the oceans, the skies and then we wanted to own them. We invented toys of mass pleasure and mass pain. We got religion and creed. And we got lost in all these. We stopped being the wanderers who wanted to cherish nature. Enjoy it's gifts.  We started challenging the almighty the creator. We lost. We are dying as a race. Dying with the burden of civilization that offers only stress and agony of loans. Sitting in one position we are destroying our body the greatest gift of nature. We don't deserve to be called the smartest of all species. We are the most idiotic of all. We are dumb. AI is taking over. We will be lost in machines soon. They are our future. We cease to be us soon. God bless us!

Nature calling!

There is a tiny little compass within us, our conscience, the keeps giving us signals. There are times when it keeps warning us of the dangers of the city life we are living. It gives us hint of being at home when we are in the middle of nature. We are all like tiny parts of the nature we are so foolishly moving away from. And that's why we feel so much at home when we go to these places. We are parts of them - the air, the water, the soil, the fire that makes us us. Not the iphones and fancy toys we are so attached to these days. Let's make it a point to live closer to nature. To breathe pure air. To drink water unadulterated by modernism. To think thoughts that are pure and in tandem with the cosmos. There is a monk within us. Why do we hide him? Why do we not listen to him? We must. Before it's too late!

Humanity you chose wrong!

The caves were dark. Suffocating. But the journey outside the caves has pushed mankind into deeper darkness. It is because we have probably made the wrong choices as a race, together. We are all partners in the crime and the victims too. We should have been driven by 'need' but we chose 'greed' to drive us. The clear skies over our heads , bright sunshine and the twinkling lovely stars, showed us the way to eternity but we chose to hear our own self -doubts. We dulled our insecurities by preying on the weaker species in an attempt to feel powerful. We hid behind our science toys to take on the mighty nature. Look at us now! How miserably failure we have turned out as a race. We have killed the nature with our little experiments and excursions trying to justify as progress... Put you hand on your heart...have we really progressed...other than discovering better toys to keep ourselves mused, have we really achieved anything worthwhile, we the humans? We still can'...
