Sometimes we are awakened,the sleep is not over,and the twilight zone where your slumber and wakefulness meet is the desert i am travelling in... in search of something..questions, answers, black, white, red, rain, wind, men, people, events, incidents, fire, copper,etc. an incessant search... flying high..in the sky.... i am crazy, eccentric, dreamy, incomplete, paradoxical, nonsensical, undefined, unanswered. everything that one should not be in a formal perfect world out there ...!

This blog is dedicated to the most critical factors of my existence and being, my parents and my sisters..especially to my younger one..thanks for everything Dolls..
I have not even attempted to put in words what i hold deep in my soul and existence for ONE MAN to whom i owe it all.. though i was born out of my mother's womb, my psychological and spiritual birth's fountainhead lies in him .. my FATHER - my God, my strength, my reason of existence... my alpha and my omega...
i had made a promise once that someday i will share the work of people who in my opinion manifest divinity very closely....some work of art here ... with permission from the artist ..i found her on fb ...i don't know when and how :)...i will also share some work by Henri Lamy, an artist from Paris with some fabulous work ...that is only if he permits me to display his work on my blog :)..
this one is pencil sketch by the same artist ..Manisha..
another one by her
You can check more of her work on the link i have shared in the beginning of the post.... enjoy ...if you have an eye for art her work is a treat for soul....she is an amazing writer and you can check her poems too :) ......they will leave you tranced!..i promise if you love art you will be delighted to the hilt!!
Disclaimer - I am not related to the artist and i do not know her personally except on fb....i think she is an Engineering student who has just completed her course
I have taken the liberty to delete a few lines from this article ...i am not in a mood to complain.... and i REALLY dont think a NOBEL PRIZE is a seal of authenticity for any creation... .
i am rejoicing the fact that one of my forefathers was an important contributor to this big event !!!
BOSON comes from BOSE (Mr. S N Bose's photograph given below) and Einstein . Mr. Higgs was present when the result was being telecast :) ....

Hypotheses are all that anybody can think of, and today’s established theory might be shown the door tomorrow. The field is diverse, researches unending, and discoveries incessant and earth-shattering.
Every century has been a witness to many revelatory discoveries and inventions in science. But the latter half of 2011 went a step ahead. It shook the basic bedrock of Physics, almost rendered in tatters the foundation of Albert Einstein’s iconic E=mc2: scientists at CERN cast doubts on the ‘fact’ that nothing travelled faster than light. Certain neutrinos, they claimed, might, travel faster. The entire scientific world was shaken out of their luxurious realities with this revelation. Challenging the God of Modern Physics wasn’t something that someone did every day, after all.
July 2012 marked another milestone in the history of Quantum Physics – God Particle, they claimed, had been discovered. The God Particle, otherwise known as the Higgs boson particle, is one that has been instrumental in holding many in taut suspension ever since its purported existence rose to the fore. While Albert Einstein has been immortalised in realms superterranean, and Peter Higgs’ list of awards don’t find an end, the other scientist whose namesake is a part of this God Particle, has been brutally glossed over. His contributions never found the international acknowledgement of a Nobel Prize, and the irony is even more glaring in the fact that several researches but the foundational one on the ‘Boson’ particle have been honoured with that ultimate recognition.
Bose’s research career spanned decades of hard work and inadequate recognition. What with his path-breaking researches on particle physics and notable discoveries in quantum statistics being among the greatest achievements of the 20th century, SN Bose could easily have been awarded a Nobel Prize. His overarching status of a researcher might then have been done some justice to.
The God Particle, which has created such a deafening brouhaha in the last few days, wasn’t one that just came into being. The Higgs boson particle, based on the Bose-Einstein Statistics, was one that had its hypothesis in place – thanks to the work of this Indian and Einstein. With its existence now on its way to embrace the pedestal of the truth, one might be forced to wonder why was it that while on the one hand Physics is replete with mentions of Einstein, on the other, Bose is a man who is hardly in the radar of recognition.
Satyendra Nath Bose, in early 20th century, along with Albert Einstein, engendered the basic tenets of the particles called bosons. And what followed thereafter is a saga of friendship, symbiosis and a relationship that transcended the mortal realms well into the immortal. Bose-Einstein Statistics, the Bose-Einstein Condensate and work on bosons are glowing reminders of that phenomenal relationship – which gave rise to several foundational elements of advanced physics.
With the Higgs-Boson particle on the threshold of solid discovery, Satyendra Nath Bose might have been happy with his work being the fulcrum of it all. Pride is not the only emotion that an Indian would feel at Bose’s name being a part of that which is supposed to be the crux of all matter. The feeling is an amalgam of an inarticulate rush of emotions. . Almost four decades since his demise, the man has been re-instated as an immortal – and this time, the entire world has been jolted out of a stupor. Years of neglect later, realisation has struck hard.
In an artist's conception, a Higgs boson erupts from a collision of protons.

"I think we have it. You agree?" Speaking to a packed audience Wednesday morning in Geneva, CERN director general Rolf Heuer confirmed that two separate teams working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are more than 99 percent certain they've discovered the Higgs boson, aka the God particle—or at the least a brand-new particle exactly where they expected the Higgs to be. The long-sought particlemay complete the standard model of physics by explaining why objects in our universe have mass—and in so doing, why galaxies, planets, and even humans have any right to exist.
Higgs Holds It All Together?
The Higgs boson is one of the final puzzle pieces required for a complete understanding of the standard model of physics—the so-far successful theory that explains how fundamental particles interact with the elementary forces of nature.
The so-called God particle was proposed in the 1960s by Peter Higgs to explain why some particles, such as quarks—building blocks of protons, among other things—and electrons have mass, while others, such as the light-carrying photon particle, do not.
Higgs's idea was that the universe is bathed in an invisible field similar to a magnetic field. Every particle feels this field—now known as the Higgs field—but to varying degrees.
If a particle can move through this field with little or no interaction, there will be no drag, and that particle will have little or no mass. Alternatively, if a particle interacts significantly with the Higgs field, it will have a higher mass.
The idea of the Higgs field requires the acceptance of a related particle: the Higgs boson.
According to the standard model, if the Higgs field didn't exist, the universe would be a very different place, said SLAC's Peskin, who isn't involved in the LHC experiments.
"It would be very difficult to form atoms," Peskin said. "So our orderly world, where matter is made of atoms, and electrons form chemical bonds—we wouldn't have that if we did not have the Higgs field."
In other words: no galaxies, no stars, no planets, no life on Earth. "Nature Is Really Nasty" to Higgs Boson Seekers
Buried beneath the French-Swiss border, the Large Hadron Collider is essentially a 17-mile-long (27-kilometer-long) oval tunnel. Inside, counter-rotating beams of protons are boosted to nearly the speed of light using an electric field before being magnetically steered into collisions.
Exotic fundamental particles—some of which likely haven't existed since the early moments after the big bang—are created in the high-energy crashes. But the odd particles hang around for only fractions of a second before decaying into other particles.
(Also see "Strange Particle Created; May Rewrite How Matter's Made.")
Theory predicts that the Higgs boson's existence is too fleeting to be recorded by LHC instruments, but physicists think they can confirm its creation if they can spot the particles it decays into. (Explore a Higgs boson interactive.)
Now that the Higgs boson—or something like it—has been confirmed to indeed have a mass of around 125 to 126 GeV, scientists have a better idea why the God particle has avoided detection for so long.
This mass is just high enough to be out of reach of earlier, lower-energy particle accelerators, such as the LHC's predecessor, the Large Electron-Positron Collider, which could probe to only about 115 GeV.
At the same time 125 GeV is not so massive that it produces decay products so unusual that their detection would be clear proof of the Higgs's existence.
In reality the Higgs appears to transform into relatively commonplace decay products such as quarks, which are produced by the millions at the LHC.
"It just so happens that nature is really nasty to us, and the range that we've narrowed [the Higgs] down to is the range that makes it most difficult to find," ALICE's Evans said.
Despite the challenges, ATLAS's Gianotti said, it's fortunate that the Higgs has the mass that it does.
"It's very nice for the standard-model Higgs boson to be at that mass," she said. "Because at that mass we can measure it at the LHC in a huge number of final states. So, thanks Nature."

there is a cave
a deep one
beyond this beautiful forest
forest of flowers and leaves and trees and wind
this cave is star-lit dark, deep and silent
adorned by flowers and forest on the front it is rarely seen by the passerbys
sometimes when the world is too much
i walk into my cave
and spend hours here
talking to the silence
listening to the noise outside this silence
trying to think about silly things
like
what would happen if i could catch a star and stitch it into a dress
if i could fold the moon into a triangle
use sun as a bonfire in the cold misty nights
convert events of my life into musical notes
what kind of music would it be - shrieking, musical or plain out of tune
what is the color of my soul now
what was it when i was born
who was i in the other realm
who am i in the present one
what is my color - black, brown, or colorless
what is my composition
anti-matter or the matter
am i evil or pure or nothing
what mood is mine - sad, happy or stone, plain stone
am i confident, under confident, conceited or plain idiot
am i closed or open
why do i giggle like a child
and cry like a heartbroken adult
am i a hero, a coward or non-existent entity
will this tiring journey ever end .....
or
i have miles and births to go
there are no visitors to this cave
absolutely none
the flower forest has many :))
the cave
and the noise of ocean beyond it
is arrested somewhere
deep
very deep
non-reachable
me.
nobody knows the address and the location of this spot. it does not exist for them.
I run a small and indistinctive shop
I have trust, fidelity, love, honesty and some soul brands on my shelf..
In those olden days my shop used to be flooded
People liked experimenting with pure and long lasting stuff..
But now i am old..and tired..
Sitting alone and killing my time on my shelves
Dusting every piece of trust, honesty, fidelity etc..etc..
Waiting for a passer-by
Waiting for somebody who would at the least do a window shopping of ...
My precious collection
My shop is located just near that lane
Opposite the shop which sells money and lust..
It is a famous shop
Prominent location on the road..
So it is easy to locate my shop too...
Will you spread the word amongst your friend
Just in case...
They are on a look out for some brands of honesty, fidelity et al ....
They can drop by ..
All the products are everlasting and come with full life guarantee
If it does not work they can throw them in the nearby pond...!

she initiated me into the blogging world... i was inspired when i saw her blog and she helped me build this holy void of mine...
i was a small girl and some petals of a flower fell in my eyes while playing in school ground, she went mad... and threatened everybody with dire consequences if something would go wrong with my eyes..we were barely 7-8 yrs old then
when during her college interview the panel thought it was ridiculous that i could be her local guardian since i was not married and i was not "old" enough , she chose to quit the college instead of seeing me being insulted infront of the panel - Miranda House was a dream and i was scared that she would not get the seat because of me..but she was not scared..she loved me too much to see anybody talk to me rudely -she did get the seat :) - we were teenagers then
i was hungry and i wanted to have chowmein- i did not know where i could locate it in north campus of delhi university - within 30 mts she was on the door of my hostel with a packet from her hostel canteen.. ... we must have been in our twenties or something
one morning she called me saying she had to tell me something urgent - she took me to her hostel room and gave me a surprise!! when i opened my eyes there was a brilliant new music system kept as my gift. she had saved her pocket money to buy it.... we were in our twenties or something
once we were sitting on a bus stand and a man made a gesture at me - she pounced at him and held him by his collar - i had to calm her down... i never missed a man in my life (movies say they protect you!!) when she was with me
when i grew old and started with my career after my masters, i could never have enough money in my first job- the place where i stayed was too expensive and my salary - lower than stipends of some well placed students. i would borrow from her every month and when i would go to return the money to her she would refuse it saying "ours is a relationship, not a business"
when i started doing well in my job but had no time and still no saving for my hobbies i once expressed my violent urge to start with an oil paint when in real life i had never lifted a brush - she was there with a set of canvas, colors, brush and an easel on my birthday, she continued getting me canvas pads later too and still loves to see my paintings..
when i fell in love with a man who was a concept in my head she rang him up and i don't know what she told him (i never talked to him and she never told me) but i guess the essence was - don't mess with my sister and don't hurt her. i only came to know that she was in touch with him when i got a message saying my sister was tensed since she was not able to locate me and she had rung him up asking about my whereabouts. i had forgotten to tell her that i was going for a night stay with a group of my friends at their house!
the most precious books of my library has come from her pocket money....
now i am married with a kid - she still saves her pocket money and sends me kurtas and bags from delhi. she sends gifts for my child too !
she was born my younger sister but i genuinely feel that once god had finished my creation he was worried who would actually love me and take care of me (given my schizophrenic idiosyncrasy) so he made her .... the other end - she the fair, the lovely, the caring, the strong, value oriented, soft and genuine... i call her my mother... she mothered me when i needed her ...
she appears in all my predictive dreams along with my father
i can never in words put across what she means to me , this song can perhaps give words to my feeling...
I don't know about many people out there , but there have been times when i have thought of quitting. I do not judge people who are on the verge of it because i have been there. Being a psychologist by education i want to do something for this mental health issue. when you come back from the verge of it you realise how beautiful life is... how much there is to look forward to...and what a waste it would have been to escape when it was time to show mental strength. Though i also know that when you are on that plane of thought everything around you justifies its occurrence - feeling lonely, unloved, misunderstood nothing seems to make sense around you. but, once that phase is over you realise the blue sky is still sparkling with yellow sun, that the stars twinkle even in the dark, that there is mystery attached to the wind which can touch you without being seen... that the mother who bore you and father who caressed you, loved you much more than anybody and anything in this world...life is worth living... for our sake..for the sake of people who will be left far behind...with a load of guilt on their heart which they did not deserve...
i want to do something..but i am scared, under-confident of my skill sets ...and probably too cocooned to come out...
i dedicate this post to this man i have been missing sooo badly.... so much that words fail my expression... it has taken me so many days to come back and put this in whichever form i could.....i miss him...and i cry..
(famous lines from Pirates of Silicon Valley)-
Mike Markkula: Steve Wozniak's employee number one, you're number two. Steve Jobs: Wait a minute. I'm employee number one. Woz? Steve Wozniak: Doesn't matter to me. Steve Jobs: I'm employee number one around here. Mike Markkula: I'm not saying anything. I wasn't implying anything. Steve Jobs: All right, then I'll be zero. Woz, you can be number one. I'll be zero. Okay?
Steve Jobs: Good artists copy, great artists steal.
Steve Jobs: I don't want you to think of this as just a film - some process of converting electrons and magnetic impulses into shapes and figures and sounds - no. Listen to me. We're here to make a dent in the universe. Otherwise, why even be here? We're creating a completely new consciousness, like an artist or a poet. We're rewriting the history of human thought with what we're doing. That's how you have to think of this.
Steve Jobs: Maybe in a past life I was a poet - or an artist.
Steve Jobs: You are putting poison into your body. Steve Wozniak: That's french fries, man. You know, all-American food? Steve Jobs: That's what I'm talking about. Steve Wozniak: Come on, I can't eat like you do. Eatin' fruit all the time? That's weird. Steve Jobs: It's not weird. It's pure. Share this quote
Steve Jobs: What, like I have to have a moustache? Steve Wozniak: A suit! You actually bought a suit!
Steve Jobs: Maybe fun is just fragments of existence with better packaging.
Steve Wozniak: I've always wondered what it was like for Steve. Ever since we were kids, everything he ever did was somewhere between a religious experience and some sort of crusade, like with this
i consist of
millions of galaxies and the milky-ways
thousands of black holes
and numerous event horizons
i walk around the house
knowing
i am the ONE
i exist everywhere
an iota
of the ONE
i shine with sheen so sparkling it blinds my eyes
the millions of galaxies and the inexplicable space out there
that's what i am made of
then......
i come back to my window
pick up my duster and start cleaning the glass
the person who will walk inside
will see
only a housewife
shabbily dressed, ready to cook and give bath to her child
the galaxies and the milky-ways
are not visible to the busy / educated world :)
We need to teach our daughters to distinguish between
-A man who flatters her - and a man who compliments her
-A man who spends money on her - and a man who invests in her
- A man who views her as property - and a man who views her properly
- A man who lusts after her - and a man who loves her
- A man who believes he is God's gift to women - and a man who remembers a woman was God's gift to man...
He was the king of heart for he was born unto a family with no tangible wealth. He dreamt, for dreaming was granted equally to both, poor and rich (in terms of wealth), by the "power" we call divinity
The princess was born unto him when he was very young. This princess was special, for she was born with a heart of a mother. she had siblings as years went by, but she was not a sister to them, she was their mother.
The king kept his princess like a pearl in his hand. loved her with his heart for she was the first-born. she was born with the special blessings and unlike other kids would not demand things from her father. She was born an understanding kid. during one of the trying periods of the king she survived on potatoes for days and did not complain!
When the king became wealthier he put her in a good school. She was so creative that her school had a room dedicated to her work displayed by her name. she was the fashion diva. she was good with her studies and she was a dutiful daughter and sister. she had a big friend circle and she laughed thru her life
Then she got married. had kids, and dreamt like her father, the king. She dreamt of a beautiful world for her kids. slowly and gradually she gave away all her wealth to make sure her kids got the kingdom intact from her. she worked hard and really hard. very hard. Now, she had no jewelry, no fine clothes, no make up, no hair-do, no money, no saving
what she had was people's glance, their questions, the poverty, the ridicule
but remember.... she was born a princess!!! with the attitude and soul of a queen!!! she did not give up .. she fought thru her life like a brave queen... bogged by her physical and material issues... she is still fighting..
she is my hero
will she be the fallen star
or
a rising sun
time will tell....
i want to throw a prayer in this void and tell the power of ONE..... please wake up
There are memories
And there are layers of memories
I wrap each of them
Very carefully and tenderly
In satin and silk emotions
And put them
Neatly
In the glassy transparent cupboard of my psyche
To be protected by my white soul
And to be withdrawn in silent afternoons
Looked at, remembered and cherished
Felt, cried, touched, kissed, cradled
And then placed back ....
With a lingering desire to open them again....
In crisp afternoons..
During starry nights
When the waves of my emotions..
Touch a high..
And i go back to my ...
Glassy transparent cupboard...
Dear Betu...here is what i leave for you...a message and two videos ...
always remember - "Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." Steve Jobs
