'god'ly hai! this kinda brain-storming is something im not alien to. this, and many more topics like this, have been doing regular rounds in my head over the last few months. a meticulous life, disciplined action and pleasant demeanour. for what?? if it all has to end up in ashes one day, why put in so much effort in doing what we spend our lives doing??<BR/><BR/>though i beg to differ on your views abt socrates, einstein, etc. these guys had no idea that their names will linger on for so long. they did what they had to do without ever knowing that once they're gone, the world would remember them this way. <BR/><I>"karm kar, phal ki iccha na kar."</I>:P<BR/><BR/>im a non-believer too. if not an atheist, surely an agnostic. to seek the answer for existence is a simple exercise. we're here because somewhere in the entire universe, the climate proved condusive to sustain lifeforms. till things are the way they are (i.e. till some meteor comes n rams into us to end it all), sit back n enjoy the ride. if you dont wanna get lost in the spiral of the unknown, chase what u know u were meant to do... and who knows, maybe a 'aditi varma' would pop up in the history books of our grand-kids one day.<BR/><BR/>nice idea to pen this down. for the people who realize the importance of not living life just ordinarily... this should be a boost. articulated the thought-process of many (me included) very smoothly. keep writing!Yashika Totlani Khannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196136921086225817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12680417.post-2894019365839325862008-10-16T11:48:00.000+05:302008-10-16T11:48:00.000+05:30@ arunabh and shweta... im glad!keep visiting!@ arunabh and shweta... im glad!<BR/>keep visiting!Sugar & Spicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370503743210911022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12680417.post-85107953461942871112008-10-14T21:00:00.000+05:302008-10-14T21:00:00.000+05:30Thank you for your consideration Aditiyeah you are...Thank you for your consideration Aditi<BR/><BR/>yeah you are right its the common usage.. perhaps caps is used by the believers.ummhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17675140290330913771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12680417.post-45310360073550545692008-10-12T20:25:00.000+05:302008-10-12T20:25:00.000+05:30Literally speaking, this was a 'dead'ly post :)I a...Literally speaking, this was a 'dead'ly post :)<BR/>I also tend to think a lot about apparently worthless issues but had never given a thought to death and life after death.
