Free Will: Myth or reality - Just some half-cooked-half-raw thoughts ...


Its said that God and Devil are playing a game with Human souls as wager ... that there are angels and demons amongst us ... Half borns ... All they do is just whisper into our ears ... the propensity to do great good and evil lies within us ... all that they do is just give us a nudge in one of the direction ...
(courtesy - Constantine movie)



Made me think... If this is so then there is a distorted free will scenario ... That we do everything by making CHOICES OF OUR OWN ... but the push for these choices is given by someone else... Then is that even fair ... That we suffer the consequences of these choices while these choices were actually made by someone else ... Agreed that we might be part to blame for this but but we get the Full burden of the effects.... that's not fair ... 



This would make 'The law of Karma' flawed then ... 



Now, off to another point - 



Do we do everything because we want to ... or is it because we are meant to ... or because someone else wants us to do so ... And do we know that we want something because we want it. 


And what is destiny ... they say that unless its destined not even a leaf can move on its own ... but some say that we make our own destiny .... Some say destiny is nothing ... its just coincidences - but what makes all the coincidences occur, exactly when they have to occur ...



Is there some grand design or is it the case of an absent creator ...


What to believe ... I m confused ...

Enjoy ... } Chapter  "W"  --  Just Another Wednesday He was a man of routine;  not a rut...  just a routine.   Every weekday morning, his mobile's alarm would go off, set at 5:46am sharp "BADUP-BADUP-BADAA--BADADADADUP-BADAA--BADUP-BADUP-BADAA--BADADADADUP-DADAA--" . At that very moment, he would hit the snooze button - so the mobile did not speak again to him for 6 mins. Then at 5:52am again the mobile tried to talk with him- "BADUP-BADUP-BADAA--BADA DA DADUP-BADAA--BADUP-BADUP-BADAA--BADA DA DADUP--" . Again, the s...

LONDON DREAMZ ...

It was a very Interesting experience for me ... I watched how people out there lived in such complete perfect order, no bending of rules. I watched places which looked as if cut out straight from heaven. I saw parliaments and prime minister of UK and also the royal family. I saw how Indians can be found everywhere. I got an idea of what Indian Food tasted (for the English and Norwegians). I had experiences on land, in air and in the Sea. I saw angelic eyes and Beautiful faces. People so interesting, worth being remembered for a lifetime. I saw what life was for them and what stark differences were there from our lives, yet how similar. And yes, A Royal Tribute to a King ... A King of Hearts ... The King of Pop ... A Deserving Farewell ... The tribute performed by the Royal Guards and Royal Band at the Change of Guards ceremony at Buckingham Palace!!! Royal Guards playing Thriller, Dangerous, Bad, Jam, Invincible ... in front of a capacity crowd ... WHAT A SIGHT !!! I saw all kinds of p...

My First Blog ...

Hello Everyone ... This is your old friend Nick here ... If anyone is thinking that why have I started to blog then here is my answer ... I used to hear that everyone is blogging ... Amitabh Bcchan, Aamir Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Imran Khan (the Actor ... Don't know 'bout the cricketer), Narain Kartikeyan ... even people like Raghu of Roadies fame. Then I saw that I had a few of my friends that had started blogging too ... I saw this all and thought, "Well ... this is a good way to express yourself (I m not quoting Airtel). If you have something to say and feel anything ... why not keep it out in the open." If anyone wants to say anything then why wait ... JUST SAY IT !!! ... Well this is just the beginning ... Watch out this space for anything from my side ...
