wE tHinK a Lot

guess what??? 
i woke up this morning and what i found....Matrushka is gone... i mean she was gone already before..
but i mean she was still  in my head ...and she finally left....
i don't say completely..but yes almost....

so  finally Buddha saved me...like i said yesterday
thank god!! a relief for some time...

the moment i woke up, i heard my maternal grandma conversing with my mom....
she was asking about me.

where is Bittu??-said grandma....well that's my pet name..
he is sleeping-mom replied.

so late in the morning??- grandma again asked
yeah!! he works till 1:00 or 2:00 a.m these days.....-mom replied

ok!! tell him to reach the fields at 10:00 a.m when he wakes up....i need his help in the fields -grandma said...
ok!!- mom replied.

now!!! you must be thinking.. what the hell is this field and all, i am talking about...
well let me tell you in brief...

actually my maternal grandparents are farmers...
more accurately only the grandmother..because my grandfather passed away 6 months ago....

my grandfather was like a hero to me... i mean he lost his parents at a very tender age..infact a very very tender age...when he was around 4 years old...
since that time he endured very  hard in his life...
i mean you can't even imagine a kid without parents...i mean most of us...

after his parents died he was with his relatives...but you can understand parents are parents..that space cannot be occupied...
he hailed from Tehri Garhwal...and had some land(fields) over there..
as his parents were gone some of his relatives had an eye over that land....so they tried their best to take possession of it..
when my grandfather gained some of his existence..he realized the situtaion was getting worst...
at that time he was around 14 years old....

he moved to the court of Maharaja Manvendra Shah(king of Tehri at that time) with a petition that the land belongs to him and not to his relatives...
Maharaja sent a spy in village to dig the truth... and he found that my grandfather was right that land belonged to him..
so finally he won the case...

he had 3 daughters including my mother and a son...three of the daughters are govt. teachers now and son an govt.employee in OFD..thanks to all the endurance of my grandpa.
i mean there are so many heroic things about him i have heard... and that's why he was my hero...
a living real life hero infact!!!         

so i was telling you that my grandma called me to the fields...it was about harvesting of sugarcane...
they are having 10 bighas(a measure of land)of land.... and around 5 bighas of it contains only the sugarcane...

so i woke up after that...and after my daily rituals...i went straight to fields...
after some time 10 -15 min later on...the transportation vehicle i mean the Tractor with a Trolley marched into the fields...accompanied by ...of course the driver and a helper.

now it was time to load the trolley....
so who's gone load it.....'Me'??
no! no way!! i can't!!

it's not because that because i am an engineer so it is against my status to lift the sugarcane bundles and load them inside the Trolley.... this is not the reason folks!!

the reason was.... i was caught by cold 5 days back  and my body was aching...and to add to your knowledge folks..those sugarcane bundles weighs on an average of 35kg...and this can sometimes reach upto 50 kgs..
well that's a frequently rare figure..but it is the result of  some insane head cases who pile up those bundles thinking that the one who lifts them is a Superman....

idiots!! i must say..

and to add a bit more... i'll give you an idea of how i look like....
well!! the simplest example  i can give you is...a Ftv model..who is starving of food...ha ha ha..that's funny!!
i mean a bit better than that..but now you know the reason why i was not ready to load them...do you??   

ok!! so back to loading of bundles...
i was not loading the bundles but surely i was helping the other man..the helper(whom i have mentioned before) in lifting the bundles....
he was a man twice of my age(22 years) and add 5-6 years more to it..so that makes it..around 50...
he was a 6 feet and 2" or perhaps 3"....and had a sturdy built..unlike of  me.....like i said before..a Ftv model...

and men believe me..!!.. he was lifting them with so ease... i mean...shame on me!!!!
he is 50 and i am 22 and...see!!
i mean i can only talk nonsense like this..and nothing else....

so while i was watching him(helper) i was hit by a nostalgia...it goes like this

i have been several times to the sugarcane center where the sugarcane is weighed...and then it is transported to sugar mills....and you know the end..... i mean the 'Sugar'...which we use in our daily life...

so many times i have noticed those workers there who unloads sugarcane from the various Trolleys brought by the farmers..and then they loads them into the Truck for transporting it to mills...
i mean they work so hard...continuously to earn a 300 bucks a day to feed their families...and some of them are like me.. i mean the Ftv models......now that's not funny!! seriously....

i mean they have no choice whatsoever...for them its a compulsion...and they have to do it...even if they are having cold.or they are Ftv models or even if the bundle weighs a 50 kgs....
no option boss!!
if they are not Superman..then they must dig the Super in them..otherwise they die of hunger...

sometimes i am annoyed with this kind of injustice of god to humans...
i mean he preaches in scriptures that "all humans are equal"...then why the bloody  hell  he created such difference between man and man...
i mean i don't know how it feels like to be a god...
but i am a human and i know one thing that i can't tolerate this bloody difference between man and man....
i mean i don't have the words to explain how dead it feels inside, to see such a scene...

ok!! now this feeling threw me back in my senses...and i started helping him again in lifting the bundles..
there were around 60 -70 bundles..so finally it was done....

i asked my grandma that is there something else left to do??... she replied- no!! you can go now!!

i was back home..which is, a 100 meters away from the source where i was a few minutes back..
i need to take a shower...so i turned on the Geyser..
in the meantime i picked the guitar and stared playing it.....
after 5 minutes the water was ready...so i took a bath...
then i had some meals.. and side by side i turned on the television and switched on to a movie.. "Rambo 4"
on Utv Action...
those heroic scenes..i mean i simply love them.. Sylvester Stallone fighting alone with an army of gone head cases...and finally shooting down each and every skeleton.

i love to watch such things... i mean not the violence..but the heroism...
you can make out by checking my FaceBook profile..that how much i m impressed by the thing called heroism..
"Troy", "Gladiator", "No Man's Land", "Saving Private Ryan","Blood Diamond" ..etc.etc\
my favorite Movies..

i mean everyone is impressed by the act of bravery and heroism...it's not a new thing that  i am the only person having such likes...but i am telling just because presently i m explaining myself in individual..

so at the start of this post i was telling you that  Matrushka is out of my head to a great extent..
so i was also thinking that there is no reason left to write a book...because she was the core of my writings..
but yesterday as my personal Buddha told me that i need to flow...so i decided that yes i need to write still, though i am not sure about the thing that what should i write about...

see!! this is the problem....we people think a lot!!
i mean thinking is not a bad thing....it is necessary sometimes to re-evaluate yourself.
but excess of anything is dangerous...

while typing the previous sentence an old phrase struck my mind.."Jack of all Trades, Master of None."
you must have heard it.....isn't it??/

but i think this needs a change.....i don't agree with it at all..
i don't agree with it because what i think.... it is cited in the sense to a person..
" that he/she is not perfect at something" ..and that person whosoever he/she was....needs to perfect a single art rather going for every other thing...
it's just an assumption just like we are making it before in different senses...
but i think it is 90-99% correct assumption...

so that is the reason i don't agree with it....because it might fit in the ancient perspective...
but in today's sense it is obsolete though there are certain people who still proves the correctness of the above phrase..
like the living legend.."Sachin Tendulkar."
but these people are rare..infact rarest in rare...

and to prove my statement that  it's obsolete..i mean you can play with the words...
everyone of us has that ability..
so let us take an example of the Tea...Tea you understand??? ..ha ha..just joking.

so if we wan't to make Tea..then what do we need??
i mean the tea leaves, the sugar, the milk, and the water....
now you must read this carefully...
if you don't have the knowledge of every ingredient.. i mean how much amount of it to put into..
then you can't make a good tea...can you??
certainly a no!! a big no!!

so, you see!! you need to know about everything you need to be a "Jack of all Trades" but certainly "Master of none."

ok!! now what was that??

i was trying to disprove a thing, and i almost did it..
didn't  i??
 but what was the conclusion..???
i mean "Jack of all Trades, Master of None "
did it make any difference in the end...
no!! certainly a no!!

so this is what i want to explain it to you the problem is we think a lot...
so remember always  "The Devil is in the Details"...
now pleassss don't say disprove this statement.....
i mean we already tried that...ha ha ha

so enough of enlightening discussions for the day....
