Holi

FUN PART
Holi celebration was good. Didn't play with water colors. Because one friend has water-color-phobia. Lol. So, we decided to just play with Abir. I reached his home at 3 pm. Played Abir with him and did Pranam to uncle and aunty. Then we went another friend's home. There also same stuff. Then we started roaming in the city. We went to Kalyani chowk, Tilak Maidan Road and had a nice talk session with the in BB Collegiate playground. We were 3. One of my friend had drink. I somehow refrained myself with just few sips. Drink is common on Holi.
PHILOSOPHY PART
In Muzaffarpur Baba Ramdev had bee doing his yoga classes for last 6 days. I thought to meet him but was difficult to get appoitnment. He talks about Nationalism. I wanted to talk to him on this subject matter. He says, nationalism is the greatest religion. I do not entirely agree with this statement. He might be true in his own way. Everybody is true in his world. According to me - Humanity is the only religion. And since it is the only religion there is not scope of greatness. I hate adjectives like anything. You have no idea how can an adjective cause a world war. Nationalism will produce more hatred. Two nationalists are enemies. Because both love only his country. What I feel is all these nation will vanish one day. For permanent peace we have to establish a single religion - that is humanity on the earth.
In my mohalla, charm of Holi has decreased to some extent. May be because everybody is grown up now. I saw children playing holi happily. This is what happens when you grow more. When you know more. Children don't know much, they are happy. Adults know a lot, they are unhappy. So far, except children I have not met a single person who is happy. Society is unable to create even a single happy person. Society will create knowledgeous person, but not the happy person. Look at the eye of the person. You will get enough gauge of the person. Eyes will tell you almost everything of the person. You'll find their eyes are searching for something. As if something has lost. Something disastrous has happened. What I know is since eternity - nothing has happened so far. And nothing is gonna happen anyway. You will find they know the thing. Better than you. But that knowledge itself become boredom after some time. It becomes like a burden in your head which you are carrying. Look at the old people. They have all the experience of life. Their life become boring. Because they know the thing. They know how it's going to work. They have an idea, a predefined mindset, a prejudice, an arguementive attitude. They will analyze. They will filter. They will filter the love. Then they will choosy. They will slot the existence. The will create a separation. Their very same knowledge become source of infinite sorrow.
Now look at children. Children are just opposite of old people. They don't now much. They don't have a prejudice. They don't analyze, the don't filter, they don't resist. They just go on with the existence. That's why you find them charming. Because he is not resisting the nature. He is supporting the nature. Old people resist. You will find old people are in the mode of constant Resistance. As if he is fighting with someone inside him. A constant war is indwelling inside his mind. You'll find most of old people remains in pensive mood always. They are resisting something from inside. As if something is bugging them. Nothing is bugging them. Only their knowledge itself has now started bugging them. Their very same knowledge on which he had so much proud starts bugging them. Children are definitely god's greatest creation. Children are pure. Not much of contamination. But when he starts growing society starts contaminating him. Society uses various ways to contaminate them. It could be anything. Like Books, Movies, TV etc. I am not a great lover of Books. Do you know the formal definitions of Books? The philosophy behind books? Remember - All books are not good. There do exists bad books. Books have given more trouble than benefit to society. Specially religious books. Anyways...I will talk about books and language some time later.

Nice win

This was a nice win over NagaSkaki. Click here to see the game
Game Analysis
As usual, I started with sicilian defence. NagaSkaki was very aggressive initially. This time Nagaskaki did opposite castling. Which in general is not that defensive strategy. I made nice use of horse and got one few advantages.

Tourist Places in Bihar

I will be in Muzaffarpur on 18Th March. I am planning to visit tourist places in Bihar. Like - Vaishali, Bodhgaya, Rajgir etc. Never got a chance to visit any of tourist place in Bihar. Vaishali is nearest to muzaffarpur. Vaishali is the center of Buddhism and Jainism. Vaishali is blessed by two superhuman - Mahavira and Buddha. Even city of Nazareth doesn't has this much glory as Vaishali. Nazareth only has Jesus. Vaishali has Buddha and Mahavira. Ganga is as glorious as Jordan river. Jesus went to Jordan river, John baptize him and said he is son of god. Ganga also have many stories associated with it. I have no intention to generate any socio-religio conflict. I am thinking - Bihar being the birth place of two great theology - Buddhism and Jainism why they don't have much influence there? Is it that Bihar inherently is Vedic society. These two persons were enough to eradicate any any vedic propaganda. The reason I think is their philosophy was not properly spreaded in India. For some reason I found Mahavira as the greatest person ever born. Mahavir was absolutely free. There was not even single bit of contamination in him. The reason why Jain theology could not spread much is because of their purity. Mahavir was so pure that he didn't even need clothes. Buddha used to wear one clothe wrapped upto his shoulder. Mahavir didn't. For him clothes makes no sense. However Buddha's path was middle path. Bdddha considered nakedness as extreme. Thats why he didn't encourage nakedness. Mahavir was absolutely free. He knows know boundaries. He knows no extreme. He doesn't know middle path or side path. He is absolutely free. Clothes or no clothes make no sense to him. He is perfectly pure. And it's difficult to appreciate 100% pure thing. You need at least some contamination to appreciate things. 100% pure gold is of no use. Some amount of contamination is required to make it useful. Right? Anything 100% pure is of no use. Whole semiconductor industry works on impurity. We dope silicon with impurity. Amount of impuruty is very less, but it's there. A pure silicon cannot do anything. But when you dope it, then it can make quadcore. That's the importance of impurity. Anything entirely pure cannot be creative. Some trace of impurity has to be there to remain creative.
Anyways, philosophy aprt. If you have knwoledge of tourist places in Bihar please let me know.
Like how to reach there, hotels, food, prices etc.

Draw

Click here to watch the game. It was a nice game. Specially middle game.

How Ethical?

I want to do a startup. My parents wants me to do normal job. What should I do in this case? Should I disobey my parents? Should I become too conscious about my career? I am thankful to my parents to give me birth. But my journey is separate. I came through him. But I don't belong to him. Practically, I exist as a separate entity. Family is a social arrangement. Only humans have concept of family. No animal has concept of family. Have you ever seen an animal marrying? Father is nothing but a social arrangement. Family is a group of people with whom you spend slightly more time as compared to others. You stay under same roof. That's practicality. My father is just a medium to give me a birth. The whole creation has to support the birth. Has to sustain a birth. Each and every atom of the universe has to support birth. Has to accommodate birth. So, that way I am son of every atom of the universe. Because every atom contributed in some manner in my creation. That's the real feeling of gratitude. The gratitude you feel towards your dad is partial. It's not a pure gratitude. If for some reason your dad stop sending you money you would start hating him. Because you had a conditional gratitude towards him. You have to feel complete gratitude towards everybody. Not just for your dad. Feel complete gratitude towards everybody. Including you enemies also. Lol. Let's take an example of a stranger. Society has polluted the word stranger. The very first impression of the word stranger is something obscure, something unknown. Something fishy. This changes your whole attitude towards strangers. You start treating strangers an unwanted person. Because this is what society has taught you which you have been following for centuries. Like an blind obedient follower. But you missed a lot. Like you have three types of numbers - positive, negative and neutral. Similarly you have 3 kinds of people. First your family and friends. Second your enemies and criticizers. Third strangers. You know some people. You cannot know 6 B people. So for you, number of strangers is much more than the number of peoples in your family and friends. So, that way importance of strangers is increased. Don't think only your friends and family are helping you. Everybody is helping everybody in some manner. Of which you have no idea. You have no idea how a person in Sahara is helping you indirectly. Even if strangers are not helping you directly, then atleast they are not doing something bad with you. Much better case.
Now if I do a startup then my parents will be unhappy. So what should I do? I have my own ego. My dad has his own. Two ego clashes, most probably destructively. I do not say that I don't have ego. TBF - I have a huge ego. I am trying to give it up. But the more I give the more it builds up.I am not saying I am right, and my dad is wrong. No one is right or wrong here. Only perspective is different. My dad has been working in the same organization for almost 30 years. What a consistency. I changed my job in just 2.5 years of my job. I am not competing with my dad to show my consistency. I have a different perspective. He has different. Now its just matter of chance that our perspective doesn't match. Sometimes it happens. A father will never believe his son talking more intellectually than him. You might be able to defeat your dad in a debate, but his inner core won't accept it. Because he has a mindset running from 30 years of being a Creator of his son's existence. And Creator is always bigger. He saw you as infant. He made you walking. He has seen your childhood. How you were not even able to walk or speak. Now the same son who was not even able to speak when imparts his idealism on his dad then his dad is hurt. He get shocked. This where comes the son's duty to respect dad's feeling. If your son is fully illuminated. You will be in trouble. He won't listen you. Buddha didn't listen to his dad. Suddhodan loved him a lot. Perhaps more than any father who would have ever loved his son. The strange thing happens when Buddha goes to meet his dad after his enlightenment. Sudhodana was behaving as if his son is still the same Siddhartha whom he used to lift on his lap. Suddhodan had no idea of Buddha's spiritual status. He cannot see that. Because, he is the cause of his birth.
To please my parents, I am not doing any formal startup in the immediate future.
