HOLY IDEA!!!!!





IDEA !!!! This four letter word has a lot of power!!! mere sound of this word makes most people heart pump at twice the rate(at least mine ;)).....


the "idea of being someone/possessing something" has played a important role in our civilization ....It has been the sole motivation for a the advancement of human era. For e.g. Idea of being rich , idea of creating something phenomenal , idea of being loved or finding ever lasting love , idea of being like someone. Generally speaking, the idea is much stronger than the thing itself. When someone wins a lottery then idea of being rich give much more happiness than being a rich man.

The reason why i am writing this blog is the thought which came by when i was driving home today with my bicycle. "My Idea of India" a heaven , a place of my birth , a place, where a person can find infinite satisfaction. Actually none of them is true but still seems so true at least for me. Let me take another example "Shahrukh Khan" an Indian iconic Bollywood actor is much more popular in the world than even an Indian software engineer. He must be given credit for that but still the point is that its not really him that people love but the idea which he brings with himself "the idea of selfless love" this idea which people associate with him makes him a superstar or god like person. so although he himself is just a normal human being but his idea of "being lovably and loving till eternity" makes him a god. Actually every idea is holy because it is pure,transcendental, infinite....it makes a person float on earth. each idea is holy and when it is associated with a person then this holy idea makes a man/thing too holy or godlike.

In the similar sense a truly religious person does not love the god himself but the "idea of being like him" . I think the invention of god by human being also came during the search for someone so perfect that although he is one but still infinite. since idea is truly perfect and has no boundary each idea is a GOD.The idea has to be associated with something in order to be realized(a idea of flying is associated with flying machine).
I sometime imagine what could be more exciting : being a god or representing the idea of GOD but still since I believe we as human being can only represent the idea and cannot be an IDEA (as idea has no boundaries but human being has).Since we all are holy so we all can have ideas implementing them is like god coming to the earth (offcourse from heaven) and killing the devil in this sense god seems also a bit lazy ;).

Food the Divine intervention


History of food goes as long as the existance of human being(I assume so ;)).How the indian developed several varieties of spices is a question which is still unanswered unlike the invention of steam engine, discovery of electricity or principles of kamasutra ..no one ever cares about that so do I :) ....


Finding a particular food tasty is a debatable question and can be nurtured as religion and deeply depend on the society and country where one grow up.... Eating Tasty food could give us a divine feeling (at least when you are hungry) and can be counted along with the feeling of sex,good odour,thirst etc..... It is one of the 5 senses which human being is trying to control ever since its existence still without success.. it is still not understood whether the mind control these feeling or food controls the mind (you are what you eat or you eat what you are ?)

But let me come out of these philosophical stuff and stick to some delicious food which i tried yesterday...... Being an Indian , there could not be a better tasting food than Indian but yesterday trying several authentic Italian cheese (also spicy ones,yes cheese can be also spicy) made me rethink about my opinion......it was a divine feeling i got after trying cheese with some nice italian wine what a combination...... and home made pesto (with pasta) can be in noway compared to the pesto from the supermarket or in restaurant.....I got the divine feeling for few seconds which my spiritual Master (if i had one) might let me experience in few decade (very bad in such things ;) ).
