While lying in the
bed enjoying cool breeze from the adjacent window in the right side I was doing
“akkar bakkar bombe bo…” and it ended in Roti and sabji, I immediately
cancelled it and finalized the egg chow for the dinner,that needs hardly thirty
minutes(including the chopping of veg), obviously for the reason to spend some
“me” time when I got such a beautiful opportunity coz my family members were in
a short trip, so finalizing the menu I decided to lost in some other world but
in the mean time someone knocked at the door, naturally I had to lift myself
and thankfully I was not going against the gravitational force which helped me
to reach the gate of the garage without spending much potential energy.
I opened the door
and it was Arpan there, entering in the house he asked for a cup of tea, when I
was busy to pour the water on the pan he knocked and showing a big packet of
foil paper he asked
…can you guess what
is there in it?
…no idea.
..it’s chili
chicken for you and me.
…don’t you know I
don’t like such foods, these are harmful for the kidney and the level and you,
just three days ago have attended a party, took such items there and again
today !!!
Saying this I
became busy to add sugar, tea leaves and milk, he knocked me again and showing
another packet asked
…guess what it is
…roti
…no, it’s nun
…you will surely
damage your lever and kidney.
Holding the cups in
two hands and requesting him to switch off the light we headed towards my room
upstairs.
Arpan entered in my
room with the bag, being curious I asked
…why are you
carrying it.
Without answering
me he became busy to bring out something and then showed me, I remained silent,
asked him to take the tea.
Will not you add
lever, kidney and “damage” with this?…he pinched me with a quirky smile.
I think 375ml would
be enough…I tried to become more specific.
When he showed me
the packet of 750ml I realized his intention and was busy to check my inner
mind whether I am ready for it or not and got a positive reply, on the
other hand the rain which have relation with “cats and dogs” have transformed
the irritating weather into a pleasant one from the afternoon.
Whenever Arpan
feels to listen to something “interesting”(according to him) that will help him
to realize and understand the life more deeply he visits with such a big
bottle, though he he is well acquainted with the fact that it totally depends upon my mood and he may have to
meet disappointment and have to return back home with the bottle.
So that day he
asked some questions, almost gulping a small peg I started
…can you imagine
the movie “Sholay” without Mr. Gabbar Singh, no na? coz the story will be
meaningless without him, now let me come to your question, if I make it short
then it will be “what’s the difference between practicality and impracticality”,
‘Practicality” is that which matches with the real life, now the question is
what is real life? It comes from “Reality” and is too tough to explain coz
there are so many theories on “Reality” but to make you understand I will love
the share form the movie The Matrix…”what is real? How do you define “Real”? if you are talking about
what you can feel, what you can smell, you can taste and see then “Real” is
simply electrical signals interpreted by
your brain”, definition of “reality” varies from man to man in general life,
why ? coz different people has different perspectives towards the life which
the outcome of their interpretations of different incidents and experiences…
I took a pause and
indicated him to make another small peg, after making he handed over it to me and
light up a cigarette for himself, (I don’t like cigarette), taking a small sip I
started again
…so whenever its
about interpretations or perceptions then you must know that all these are
attached with human mind and mind has different layers and those are conscious,
sub-conscious and unconscious.
He replied excitedly
…yes yes I know it,
I mean I have heard the names but don’t know what actually they are.
…conscious mind is
that when you are doing something being aware of it, I mean when you are awake
and making interaction with the outer word with your own thoughts, beliefs,
attitude, feelings etc. and to make you understand what sub-conscious mind is
let me give you an example…when you were learning how to ride a cycle you were
doing it with your “conscious mind” but later in your school and college life
you have done cycling so many times while going to school, college or attending
the tuition or visiting the market those are the times when you did not need
to make cycling with the the thought that “now I will ride in the cycle, keep
the hands on the brake to be secured and then will start paddling” all these you
did automatically, got it?
He agreed nodding
his head.
So I started again
…now the question
is what is unconscious mind? Its that place where your brain keeps the
previously collected info and data which you can’t access intentionally, let me
share an incident that happened with me…one day around 10Pm I was heading
toward the market accessing I different lane, when I was crossing a garden suddenly
a smell entered into my nose and immediately my brain took me to my primary
school, that tree, that angry teacher with a stick in his hand, you know why
coz this is the same smell I first time got there and liked it a lot and the
truth is I can’t access it by recalling, I totally forgot about it but my mind
stored it somewhere in my mind.
I needed a break to
visit the wash room, when returned back found Arpan totally lost in his
thoughts, lifting the glass I took my seat in arm chair.
You said there are
so many theories on “Reality” but how can I be sure that those are
true?...asking this he was waiting for my answer with curiosity.
First of all, all
those psychologists and the philosophers who are researching on it cant be
stupid right?...i answered him
…no I did not mean
that, what I wanna say is, cant you give any example to make it more clear.
I replied happily
…why not? Like,
when you are sleeping you can’t say that you are sleeping, that time wherever
you are (may in some dream land) that becomes real for you, you become afraid
on some scary incident there, you start to cry if it happens something pathetic
there, so when you are sleeping you are unable to say that you are sleeping but
the observer who is awake and watching you can easily say that “Arpan is
“sleeping”.
So what is the
relation of Rahul with all these, I mean I still cant figure out…he asked me
while pouring the drink in his glass, it was his second term
To understand Rahul
and other ones you must know something more about consciousness…I replied.
…What’s that?
…different people
have different level of consciousness but all those types of people are
existing, now the question is how consciousness has come into existence?
…how
…I don’t know
He made earnest
request…pls don’t make fun, I am really
eager to know.
…I really don’t
know
…you are joiking
right?
…actually nobody
knows how “consciousness” has come into existence, I mean nobody knows about
the “origin of consciousness” its still an unanswered question, but I can
explain why different people with different consciousness existing in this
universe sharing my personal views.
…kindly tell me.
…think, what would
be condition of the world if everyone would be “Practical”, human emotions
which have no connection or hardly have connections with practicality will be
in danger on the other hand if all the people would be “impractical ones” then
only emotion and emotional activities would exist profoundly which could be
destructive for the universe, now, if you ask Mr.Mukherjee of your colony
, who is famous for his “practicality”, that whether he made the divorce paper
ready and talked with the lawyer before getting married then his answer will be
“no” rather he will be surprised with your question, what I mean is the
practical people like Mr.Mukherjee also knows that still there is something
called human emotion, still he can trust someone blindly and still he can
depend on someone emotionally and mentally and all these have been possible for
the impractical ones like Rahul, observing whom people still believes that one
can die for his love, one can be always there for someone with no terms and
conditions, one can be totally devoted to the relationships and can serve selflessly.
…Then why Tina did
not realize it?
…no, you are wrong,
look as I have said that “practical ones” and the “impractical ones” both are
existing but why? because for a certain purpose, there is someone, the supreme
lord may be, who is the master of all these everything, now think if Tina would
be the life partner of Rahul then she could find it difficult to relate with his
thoughts coz she was very much practical towards life on the other hand it
would be tough for Rahul also to relate with Tina and this mixture would
resulted something destructive in the future ahead.
I had to take a
long pause to bring the foods from downstairs and to give him time to realize
all these.
Approx. after twenty
minutes when I returned back he gladly informed that
…life has so many
dimensions and if you think deeply you can realize something in a
better way.
I handed over the
plate with smile as a reply.
When I was busy to
praise the preparation and the cook after giving the first bite to the chicken
piece Arpan asked me to make a gist.
Practicality is
connected to reality, reality is the interpretations and perceptions towards
life, Interpretation and perceptions are the outcomes of the level of consciousness
and the origin of consciousness is still unknown…I answered
And again added
…Practical and
impractical ones, both should exist, no one is wrong, it’s all about the
necessity of the existence of the universe, the impractical ones learns from the
“practical ones” and gradually become to some extent “Practical” as Rahul is being
with time and The “Practical ones” still believes in humanity even after so
many negative and brutal incidents In the outer world because of the “Impractical ones” like Rahul.
In the beginning I mentioned about “Sholay” and Mr Gabbar, you know I don’t
mention any incident as “negative one”, I interpret them “differently
positive”, hope you understand what I mean.
He agreed nodding
his head and was about to ask something but I strictly instructed
…don’t you know
it’s not good to talk while taking foods, so concentrate on your foods.

Now this one went too deep, didn't saw this coming.
ReplyDeleteLife's philosophy depicted by two friends in their most deep conversation.
Thanks for the appreciations, means a lot.
DeleteThis was one deep conversation. Arpan really knew that 375 ml would lead to such discussions about practical and impractical people. Really enjoyed the conversation
