A Serene Drive and Emotion

There are some moments when you are more sensitive and emotional then others… but when you look back later some time, you may laugh at yourself, or you may just want to forget. Human mind is pretty weird and interesting.

I don’t know why I did this today, but well, I guess you can’t be always the person you are supposed to be, life would have been boring in that case.

Here goes a writing I wrote tonight:

“Tonight is surprisingly calm; at least it appears that way to me. Days or nights, fundamentally they don’t have any difference; it’s just the way we perceive them. Anyway, what matters to me is how I see it.

I was supposed to go to the gas station. Yeah, I went there, fortunately or unfortunately, the queue was so long that I opted to drive away, but not before trying at least five stations.

Traffic was uncharacteristically low. The orange beams of the street lights of the Airport Road on those scattered cars looked fabulous… you don’t see them (or may be feel that way) often. And there was this masterpiece, like the Mona Lisa of Leonardo, the Mohakhali Flyover. Looked like a boulevard with glowing trees standing tall with all their glory of light to greet the eternal journey of a willing mind, travelling without destiny… towards an unforeseen future… towards the prophecy of tranquillity… It looked so alluring, attracting… wish the ride never ended. While I was alleviating, it felt the soul was making its eternal journey towards the sky. I love this part… forever… always… Wish the flyover had an infinite dimension with limitless path to drive.

My drive was atypically soft, well that’s not the term used in general, but I can’t recall any better replacement. During the return flight, that’s what I would prefer to say, while I was driving through the highest achievable height, I saw this half-moon, creamy in appearance… I’ll remember it for long time.

I felt like writing all these while I was driving.”

Preaching (im)perfectness…

In most instances, the concept of consummate perfectness is itself an illusion which is masked by initial fascination and differential amplification of some characteristics of someone or something ignoring other features. Nevertheless, being perfect in some aspect is not always synonymous to wearing a coat of counterfeit.

Speaking from the perspective of a biologist, there is clearly an advantage in tricking people into believing more than what actually you are. The same rule is applicable to materials since those are, in a way or the other, earthily manifestation of the creator/inventor/possessor of that object.

Often we meet or see people who blaze our eyes with flamboyance, make us feel honoured to meet or know or at least have the mere opportunity to see them directly (in the age of technological advancement, digital means of seeing someone or somebody isn’t considered as an event of luck since we can easily put a Google search and find out in detail.) As an explicit example, we can consider the fact of media icons. Generally we see them as an undisputed illustration of ultimate perfectness. Even their mistakes are preached in some groups of the society. But if you analyze with critical reasoning, things start to fall apart. I would like to mention about a recent research. The research cites that musical stars are more likely to die earlier than average population; the main reason is unhealthy life style, drug abuse and other stuffs. Now, in most instances these facts begin to appear publicly when you are already a star. If you aren’t a star by now, then you actually don’t afford to show the inner imperfectness.

I would like to mention another contemporary event. Britney Spears may be going through toughest time of her life, the break up and children custody case against Kelvin Federline, followed by wardrobe malfunction at a pub, then shaven head, and the most recent hic-cup at MTV Music Awards’2007… adding to her agony her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake had swept the programme with four awards. After all these, many are still thinking of yet another success story with her upcoming album. Think instead, when Britney started to become a pop icon, all these happened… it was more likely that she would have never been able to be a star, let alone present superstar status. Ok, I’m not saying she doesn’t deserve to be a star, she has the talent. I’m simply trying to point out that initially you need to emblaze everyone with your seemingly unchallenged perfectness to make them ignore about other parts later on.

Looking from the point of view of evolutionary strategy, the apparent perfectness is a success story. Once you’ve tricked someone, and s/he is fascinated about you, it takes quite some time to look into the negatives. On the contrary, if you show up the negative sides, it will require great insight to see the hidden positives. And I believe at the end, the truth reigns over everything.

Perfectness might be a mask of fakeness, but imperfectness often is the reflection of reality.

I was going through my old PC’s desktop and found this… it’s been a while since I wrote this.

Breaking The Gap

It’s been a while since my last writing. I was quite busy… with buying new PC, then organizing that. I’m using MS Office 2007 for the first time. The appearance is cool.

Lately I was going through different blogs. Latest fuzz is Yahoo 360 is shutting down. Well may be it will go through major renovation, but I do highly doubt the possibility of complete shutdown. May be it will get more integrated to other yahoo stuffs like yahoo profile, yahoo mash… I think Yahoo 360 will move to more social networking than blog platform. Personally I choose 360 because blog was the major focus here. I guess people like me are minority, that’s why it is not feasible for yahoo to continue with this service anymore in the same manner. Anyway, Mash seemed cool to me.

Sometimes I feel like writing down stuffs, but lately I’m not having much time.
