Here comes Monday… Another workweek starts. It’s the beginning of an end. My summer project will be over this week.
I was wondering wat to do. Coming to doing…., I guess Alexander Dumas asked the right question ages ago.
Count of monte cristo to the Procurer (Villefort) :
Now, really, let me ask, sir, do you believe you have anything to do? or to speak in plain terms, do you really think that what you do deserves being called anything?"
Though I have a list of things to do, none of them deserves being called “anything”. But still, I cant let down my ego so easily…lemme plan this week. Lemme plan a week to do “nothing”

Psychotic conversations: Part 2
Where: Guest house, Living Room
When: Irrelevant…
Warning: The content is not meant for entertainment. Interactions with Psycho were found to be injurious to commonsense.
Psycho was exercising in the living room. Its funny. It involves kicking air, trapping the air and crushing it between joints, fondling invisible shapes, communicating with ghosts through various head postures etc.
Eagle was walking towards bedroom.
Psycho: ….. I need to share an insight with you. I need your opinion on this!
Eagle: ?? (Shit, Not again…)
Psycho: (Comes close to eagle) This deals with a deeper insight. I think the world needs a better way of living. This sadhus and Gurus are spoiling the world.
Eagle: (Ok, it’s a known topic…)
Psycho: They r all base n greedy….Jus like uneducated counselors.
Eagle: (So? )……..Walks towards d sofa n settles down
Psycho: (People have problems. They need spiritual counselors. But this generation wont accept spirit and all with out logic. U know, they are exposed to science, reasoning etcetra , all thses things …U know? We should give them spiritual counseling in a scientific manner. …..In fact, I was thinking of training the gurus so that they can give better counseling….
Eagle: Not a bad idea…(If ppl r rational, y they go to all these gurus in thousands??)
Psycho: (Moves into the chair near by)Yes! Yes! I know u will appreciate it. But the problem is…..in India ppl respect only grey hair….isn’t it…..I don’t know how to convince them….(Psycho has no grey hair…Actually no hair….)
Eagle: What about west?
Psycho: Haaan, That also I thought… But there is a bigger problem. They respect only branded gurus..
Eagle: Hmmm!! May be you can take branded or grey gurus, do the brain wash and then use them for training others…
Psycho: But I want to start some thing very different. Very new. Pchhh, these gurus are not suitable for it.
Eagle: ???(Whats that?)
Psycho: Here I need ur help. I want to start something new……Something different..But I donno what it has to be.
Eagle: (Holy shit……….) U wanna help ppl or do something new?
Psycho: Excellent! You understood it clearly (A big smile on his face!).I want to help people. But, old solutions have been there for a while, still there are problems….so all old solutions must be wrong…isn’t it? I know ppl need a new solution.
Eagle: I have a different opinion…
Psycho: ?? (smile vanishes.) Yes, Please share it..(There’s apprehension in the voice)
Eagle: I think the solution remains same…its only the form which changes… Budha, did not preach immediately after knowing the solution..He thought a lot n after discovering a suitable form he started. Krishna also, knew arjuna for so long.. But he recited gita only in kurukshetra (Man! I hate this talk…)
Psycho: Excellent. U r right. Yes. Even, Krishna murthy did the same… But why is it so…Of course I am asking a deeper level question
Eagle: (Deep?) hmmm, Coz u can never teach any thing new to ppl. U can only help people realize wat they already know.
Psycho: (unnamed expression..)Excellent! U are sharing a deeeeeeeeeeep insight. I also feel so….But what shall I do now?
Eagle: It’s a good question.. Have u ever read a guru searching for a desciple?
Psycho: Haha! Never (laughing uncomfortably) .
Eagle: Same here. The world has a way of figuring out solutions. I thnk u shud do nothing….
Psycho: (Is he angry?Upset??) Thank you very much! I think u should share this insight with everybody
Eagle: Sure…

Psychotic conversations
Where: Guest house, Living Room
When: Time for evening drinks while enjoying the night sky.
Psychologist: Psycho also called Doc. Ex director of XYZ Psychology institute in delhi . He is thinking about creating a new way of life by synthesizing Budhism and J.Krishnamurthy’s outlook. Sane people avoid him, as he is known to kill common sense in brutal manner.
Psycho was leaning comfortably in the sofa n watching a show on channel V
Eagle settles down in the near by sofa after a nice bath..
Wondering wat to do next.
Psycho: ……., I want to share one deeper insight with you.I am seriously concerned about it...
Eagle: (Go on) ......(Looks at Psycho)
Psycho: It bothers me that the whole world is becoming a body shop...People are trapped ..evry body is after flesh. Evry thing u see is becoming a skin show …also, those who show more skin get paid more.
Eagle: So?
Psycho: But u see, a girl make crores of rupees like this and another girl with same complexion n body is paid very little….She is exploited.. Its un fair isn’t it
Eagle: Hmmm, So u r bothered about the exploitation.
Psycho: No, thats only one thing.. U see, I do accept the Greek-roman affinity for aesthatic beauty but it should not be salebale good na? How can you justify people making money just based on beauty? Its not correct na ?
(Psycho, who is the most intelligent person on earth is pissed off with the girl on the TV. She seems to be too rich…And the way shez jumping around, its evident that she is ecstatic.)
Eagle: Hmmm, I have a different opinion to share.
Psycho: Yes, tell me. (A flash on his face.. at last, the conversation starts..)
Eagle: We go to another world where beauty is the basis of earning. Intellect is only to be appreciated. People are not allowed to engage in intellectual intercourse in public. Obviously, only people from opposite sex can engage in such intercourses. Knowledge is “make up” and experience is like folds of old age….
Now if u start making money by showing of ur intellect, (Lecturing)…Is it similar to skin show in our world?
Psycho: Yes….But ..(Very ill at ease, sitting up right in the sofa as if to defend himself from the expected blow………)
Eagle: Hmm. What if some body sells his knowledge or intellect like a professor? Is it not akin to …..
What if it is done on hourly basis………like consultants, visiting professors do? Call girls n boys???
Psycho: But this community helps the world….(Almost screaming…he looks horrified)
Eagle: Hmmm. Slowly, people start watching this public and shameless show of intellect through every media…evry body fixated with intellect n brains…….
And some intellects start making more money than others…….all unfair practices…..
Doc.Tell me how this community helps the world?
Psycho: ……(??????) U have given a nice perspective… I also thought so…..
I am feeling sleepy…(Getting up from sofa to move….)
Eagle: Btw, in that world, what we have done till now is not at all a respectable thing….
Whats ur opinion on intellectual masturbation??
Psycho: (Visibly suffering….) Ok ….., Good night.

Unadulterated admiration
I admire Its purity: Unclouded by conscience,remorse, or delusions of morality. Its structural purity is matched only by its hostility towards all that is not what it is..............
