Ideals and Democracy and the Role of the Citizens.

Within all this fiasco of whether Anna Hazare's arrest was correct or not, I came across an online debate (user comments) on the issue.
89% thought that Anna's arrest was not correct while a measly 11% voted that Anna's arrest was correct.
Now point to note is the number of comments which should have constituted the reasons as to why the 89% ppl think Ann should not have been arrested are less than 11 and they range from comments like "Anna i'm with you" to "Congress is being Dictatorial" to "Anna should probably start a terrorist organization to remove corruption".
On the other hand, those who think Anna's arrest was the right move gave good solid logical reasons as to why the think that. There were a lot more comments and nearly all of them were somewhat logically sound.

So what does this show.?
Most of the people are not even interested to think deeply as to why Anna is fighting or what is correct etc. They see someone standing against the Government and they start blindly following him/her.

I'm not saying Anna's aim is wrong or I'm not even commenting on whether his methods were right or wrong. But what I'm saying is unless people actually start "THINKING" with their own brains and come up with their own answers, it doesn't matter how many Anna Hazare's come up. India will remain the same. The very ppl who blindly follow bright ideals shining far away, will probably never notice that they themselves are the ones who are standing obdurately in its path.

Notice the ideal. Think on it. See what it means for you. Create your own ideal close to your heart conforming to the bigger ideal. Create an ideal which you can follow. And slowly we can see the greater ideal bear fruits.

Think what Anti-Corruption means to you. And try to do what you can to minimize corruption starting from you and around you. The nation is made up of all the worlds of the citizens combined together. First remove corruption from "YOUR WORLD". The nation will follow on its own.

P.S. This started out as a small status post on Facebook and ended up this long. People love drama. And thats what is happening throughout the nation with questions popping up if we really are independent and democratic. Look around you. If you really think you are not independent try to take steps so that "You" are independent. Don't start giving big comments on how you think the nation is corrupt or the politicians are dictators if comments are all you can do. If you talk about your "RIGHTS" do not forget that when you were taught about them, you were also taught about "DUTIES". Follow both properly. Thats all you have to do to find out if you are independent or not.

Me wants Immortality.

Recently I've been thinking... I want IMMORTALITY.

Then the question is: How.?
A very big question. And as i do watch lot of movies, anime, read lots of books, manga, etc etc, a lot of answers pop up simultaneously. Really lot.

The current problem with the idea of immortality itself is most of those ideas were already pursued by the respective villains and super-villains. Always with same or similar ending. "There is no immortality". And in the few cases where a positive character (not necessarily the protagonist but someone not a villain) it always focuses on the bad points of immortality.. How they are sooo alone.. how they do not want to be immortal anymore.. blah blah blah... Well not that i still get any proper answer for the how. The point is where are the cases where people are shown to be truly immortal.. Most such cases are either to become a vampire or become a spirit.
I don't know if at all vampires and spirits exist. And if they do, are they truly immortal.??

Aah well Hanuman-ji from Hindu mythology is considered immortal (being part-god and all) but the same stories also show the true complete incarnations of Gods to be mortal (Well it must all be part of the god's plan). But that still needs you to be a part of God. I don't know if I am.
Am I..??
God..??
Am I really..??
(And not that answer "God is in everyone". I know that answer. And you know what i'm asking.)
hmm.
Either God is very busy... or he considers my question to be too stupid (which i agree it is.)
Or may be God is answering but i'm unable to hear it yet.
Either case i don't know if i can be (or already am) immortal in the Divine way.
And I dare not test it until I am able to hear what God says.
And doing Tapasya for many years in himalayas often lead to giving wishes with loopholes.
And anyways its Brahmma-ji's favourite first lines.
Brahmma-ji -Thathastu. Maango vatsa. Kya vardaan Chahiye.
Tapasvi - Main amar hona chahta hoon.
Brahmma-ji - Bas woh ek vardaan nahin de sakta.

And amrit is also over from what the stories say. I mean in my opinion that was completely unfair of gods anyway, to cheat the asurs and drink it themselves. (This debate should go on a separate post). They should have shared and kept some for the future. So that if they deem someone worthy of it, he/she should be granted the "amrit". Anyway, Rahu and Ketu had the last drops and Raavan swallowed the Kalash (which was later broken by Raam ji.)
So. No Amrit.

So back to square 1...?
Well how many squares were we able to reach again..
ahh never mind.
So divinity - (x) (Ok lets keep A "?" as it can still change.)

Next - Mythical creatures(use one or become one):
- Pheonix - immortal itself. No use to us. Probably.
- Well there are some stories which say that eating mermaids leads to immortality (urgghh).
Ya right.. as if i'd believe that. (And for those of you who are skeptic, do watch the great TV channels like Aaj Tak and NDTV. I think one of them recently showed something and proved that mermaids exist.)
- Vampires -> Too many weaknesses and problems.
AND i don't think there will be any Pure Blood vampires left. With the rate of increasing population and people occupying all kinds of lands to live, those vampires may have long ago interbred with humans (tch tch..)
- Werewolves - hmm i don't think its mentioned as truly immortal anywhere. Just lives really long.
Zombie - Out of question. Absolutely. (Just watched an anime related to zombies. So. No.)
And anyway what kind of immortal would i be if i can't even mix in the society and walk the roads in the day light.

Creatures - (x).

What else.
Ohh before i forget. Sci fi Option of living as Data in cyber world (X)(BIG CROSS). Completely defeats the purpose. I truly don't understand those villains wanting to do that.
This raised a point --- PURPOSE.
later later. We're still at how.
Anyway the above options covered 50%.

Fountain of life - This one would have dried a long time back due to global warming.

Alchemy - Philosopher's Stone -> Elixir of life. (No comments or reviews yet. If anyone has any idea please do comment)


Scientific Options

- Mind Uploading. Make clones and transfer your consciousness. - Great Idea. Truly possible. As in realistically speaking its a possible futuristic option (too many "-istics"). Ohh but no transferring mind to a robot or become a complete cyborg. Its OK till clones.
Ohh and another.
- Reversing Aging cells. Possible. Research Ongoing. It will still not stop death from being shot, knifed, jump from building, decapitated, hanged, etc etc. It won't make anyone heal like wolverine or the Cheerleader (and if you do not know who the Cheerleader is.. don't ask. Watch Heroes.)
Simple evolution or natural genetic mutation will do. But for that whatever should happen should have happened. And i know that I do not heal. Or is some catalyst needed to trigger my Hidden powers.. ;)
And i think i have proper documents showing the proof that I'm not from Krypton.

So in the end, the only options remaining are hoping to find out that I am already immortal (through divine means) or Science (Do it yourself) or create a genetic/radioactive accident and become like Mr. Manhattan (hope I do not become Hulk instead).

Joining hands with someone from the demon world/spirit world might also work. Angels would probably be too stingy and even if they let me be an angel it would be too much a bother (hope this does not reduce my chances of the divine wishes).

I've already written so much. And then i thought lets open a new Tab, open google, type "Immortality" and press Search. Top result was

►Immortality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Immortality (or eternal life) is the concept of living in a physical or spiritual form for an infinite length of time. As immortality is the negation of ...

After opening this in a Tab, I lost all enthusiasm to write anymore. I was thinking of writing other things and anyway I've written so much already, i don't care anymore. (About this blog i mean. Not eternal life. I still care about that.)

The above blog contains my interpretation and what i would like. It may look utterly nonsensical if you read either before or after clicking the Wikipedia link. Some day, if I feel like making a fool out of myself typing this much when another wiki article was compiled neatly, then I would write about the WHY.

Well. So long.
To Eternal Life.

P.S. My regular column. Though I do not have anything to write here. I mean who the heck compiles all this data into wiki articles. Not that I am seriously blaming them. I mean how else would we and so many others have done so many of our projects/reports. May be I should have searched at the beginning and just pasted the Link in the blog post. I seriously typed soo much.
If i get any comments that the wiki article was better, I will curse you that whenever you need some important info from Wiki, then it will not load, or you simply get disconnected, or you are specifically blocked from Wikipedia.
