asymptotes......mathematically speaking a line which touches a curve or its branch at infinity.yet another concept of maths which made no sense to me(my list of absurd mathematical concepts start with "iota".. i mean how come you sit and devise theories for something which is non-existent and yet have the hypocrisy to call it "imaginary"!!). neways , back to asymptotes for now.. it was one of those rare moments of inspiration that i realised that how asymptotic life is!!
ah!! another of those profound statements...i even surprise myself!!
as i was saying, life is so asymptotic....
when i was a kid, i sometimes couldn't understand certain things. my questions were answered with a simple you'll- understand- when- you''ll-grow-up type response.. i am 20 (20.5 to be precise) and yet i don't think that i have understood those very questions.. like why i was ornate with specs for no fault of mine( a congenital defect resulted in me getting bespectacled at the age of 9),or why i failed to achieve what i wanted to,or why things happen to me in a way they do...maybe i need to "grow up" further... it is quite possible that when once again I'll be in this sort of vacant or pensive mood, at some other age ,at some other time and once again i might be ravaged by such abstract thoughts then again I'll pacify myself that maybe i will understand when I'll grow up...
life, you see, is so asymptotic.. trying to catch up or maybe just touch past the curve of existence....

BACK AND HOW!!!
well, it seems that there was some sort of conspiracy on the part of blogger.com for , as it is , i have to start all over again!! so much for conceit and vanity.... the thing is ,that i am back in action. feels good, damn good!!
through these tough times (yeah, not being able to update my blog was a testing time indeed!!) i have been ably supported by my great friend, kedu, who made me believe that there is a popular demand to read my chronicles, though i am not sure why!! kedu(real identity undisclosed, for reasons obvious and even for those that are not!!) will keep featuring in future blogs for he is an imortant "creature" in this zoo called my life.. his antics, though not as flambouyant as mine , will be a pleasure to type out!!
ah!! its late now and since i have contributed my alloted share of e-waste, time to say good night... so here goes.................................GOOD NIGHT!!!

Who is "The One"??
now that i am very much alive and kicking, i mean, blogging, i feel a compulsive urge to write lots of profound stuff, all of which , i can promise, will be very much superficial indeed!!(and it kinda goes with the title of my blog too!!) . so here goes...
i was watching the "matrix" this afternoon and was marvelling at neo's antics, trinity's gorgeously athletic body and Morpheus's' cool glasses when i couldn't stop myself from wondering about the whole concept of "the one". it struck me that this whole concept is deeply rooted in our mythology!!
OK!! so either i have intrigued you or i have made you believe that i am a deranged personality. either way , i know, you'll still read on. given that you have met crazier people and heard even more bizarre theories, i think you guys will give me a chance...
so here goes..
i wrote that the concept of "the one" is rooted in our mythology , and now i will elucideate my point. firstly , let us note down some very general points about "the one", which i again say have been passed down the ages. the most important feature of "the one" is, that his advent is prophecised. next, he is always projected as the saviour or the "messiah". and being the protagonist, he is always the best loooking stud around. now that we know the general traits of
"the one", i shall proceed with my not-so-crazy-after all theory. remember "ramayana"?? yes , the same great hindu epic by saint valmiki!! if you do and even if you don't, the story has it that a prophecy is made to king dashrath that lord vishnu will reincarnate on the earth as his son and he will be "the one" to free the sages from demons' opressions. and as we all can remember very well now(come on ye tubelights, stop blinking) that lord rama was indeed the most handsome stud of his era. so now , do you all agree??? still not convinced... all right here's another story to make believers out of you all..
the most popular god in hindu mythology, lord krishna's life also has very interesting points to offer and to substantiate my theory. king kansa of mathura had dethroned his fsther snd had become the king of mathura. there was a lot of unrest due to his policies and yet again a prophecy was made that his sister, devaki's, eighth offspring will be "the one" who will be his nemesis.
and everybody does know who devaki's eighth son was.. the most charming, romantic and yeah very manipulative and because of all abovesaid, most controversial god of hindu mythology-krishna....
so i have put forward my theory. it is upto you to test its relevance and rationality .by the time you are through with this exercise, i would have:- read another potter book glorifying his scar , watched another star war episode where anakin explores another facet of the "force", gone through another lord of the rings chapter amusing myself at frodo's quest with his destiny..........in short , an attempt to capture the essence of "the one"
