Want to be famous...yes YOU!!!

Everyone of us wants to become famous and that too without much of hard work. How interesting but watch out for an irony, this is supposed to be the most common dream in the world.
To summarize, 'A person wants to become famous for something which is most common'.
Anyways lets come back to our topic, people have discovered various ways to become famous in which some are weird and others even more weird. One such case is a girl slapping Salman Khan, imagine a girl kissing Salman...nah! very common. She did a stupendous task. Don't know if the girl got equal miledge when compared to how much negative publicity Salman got?
Last Sunday I went to Landmark, primarily a book store, which claims to have a good collection of books. Surprisingly, 2 out of every 12 books was about 'how to become famous!' which again leads to the second irony of the post. A report from UNESCO says there were 206,000 books published in USA, in the year 2005 (courtesy: Wikipedia) which means in United States itself over 34,000 people, in the year 2005, knew the success mantra. To avoid an overact here let me cut down the figure to 20,000.
My point here is that if they knew the recipe and the ingredients why didn't they prepare a pudding for themselves.
So if by writing some vague funda on becoming famous you can increase your TRP then it is true but this would do nothing for others. So then how to become elitist of the elite. No I don't have the answer to this because this is something you should be asking to your self, Isn't it?

Numb Neighbours!!!

Even a student from second grade would tell that anything that expands needs space to expand for instance a balloon occupies space, when inflated, from its surroundings. So then why don't thinkers of modern day world provide any answers as to where is our universe expanding?
Going back to school days, we all were taught the significance of our universe and various theories to explain how it moved. Big Bang was one such theory which outclassed all its competitors. Remembering of big bang, it says that our universe was a tiny dot before it banged because of some uncontrolled reactions (don't want to go in details) and since then the debris produced has been moving apart. Interesting story, indeed!
Everything that we know or don't know about is a part of this universe and they say it has exploded. Exploded where? and Where is it expanding?

Information age has its major disadvantage that it limits thinking of a person. We are still not evolved enough to differentiate between science and art, but we are almost there I can say this because we know they are incomplete without one another.
'The purest form of art is science and vice versa.'
and adding to this fact, both these domain require each other to prove themselves.

Some biggies have wierd explanations for this expansion of universe phenomenon, I will share a couple of them:
1. We have long known the mystery of Black Holes, it is said that black holes contain life form of its own. As we know that even light cannot escape the demoniac, so there is no transfer of mass or energy from a black hole to the outer world. Direct implication of this theory is that we are all living in some kind of a black hole. Jitters flow all across my body though, it might have something to explain.
2. A universe is made of two items, mass and energy. We usually exchange energies in our day to day life with various stars. In addition to energy, all heavy bodies exchange masses as well. It is said that we have many parallel universes existing somewhere, amongst them one is ours. The quality that separates one from the other is that they neither exchange mass nor energy between them.

There has been no scientific explanation attached to all this but artists don't stop thinking just because they need some formulae to justify there thoughts. Being an engineer, I still support the thinking aspect of people but am I asking too much when I ask them to prove there philosophies?
I guess not, so big guys get us some answers. Dumb terms like black holes, dark matter and dark energy will not suffice. We are living here and we need to know every corner of it.

Transformation

4 Vedas, 18 Puranas, 108 Upnishads,
verses of epics written along river-heads.
All for a reason to spread teachings on good,
pave an ace for the upcoming broods.

Man has gone a mile and a half extra,
to teach his offsprings this magical sutra.
Be lovable and adore the humankind,
benefit the needy and never stay behind.

But who has then taught us to affray and crucify,
who has been giving the lessons to lie?
Is there an idol for whom it is justified,
to kill the impeccant, rule the world and be happy when others die?

Let's just give it another outlook,
who taught us depravity and whose power did they took?
Let's seek for the source of their origin,
who has been constantly feeding their engine?

Let us surrogate the powerhouse of this evil,
which could be found in shades of an individual.
If we take care of our self powered devil,
World will prosper and happiness will propel.
