Hallucinogen

Say i am a movie freak but the good thing is that i do remember story and name of every movie i watch . you might be wondering whats so great about ..ummm definitely there’s nothing great  but if you watch 3- 4 movies on an average , remembering names , characters and story of all of them is definitely something worthy to boast . okay , let me recall the last movie which i saw and liked . hmmm yeah , it was “candy “. candy reminds me of one another movie one of my very favorite on “requiem of dream ” , a very popular one , surely you must have heard about it . Uptill ,now you might have guessed why so much fuss about both of them . Right – they both deal with the concept of drugs addiction . Strange na , i am writing down all them rubbish under this title “hallucinogen “. ok, here i am coming directly to the point . i was on orkut visiting the profile of a guy with very long hair . Read his “about me ” . pretty impressive coz he was deliberately confessing that he was an addict . Check out his list of communities and came across this person named – ” Albert Hofmann” . Honestly , never heard heard about him before. Explored more about him and found out that he is considered “the father of LSD.” LSD ?? what the hell is that ? has it got something related to LSB “least significant bit” the technique widely used for stenography . just to add , friends , i amde my minor project in 6th semester of my engineering on stenography . okay , so there  i went to wikipedia , searched more and more about him , the LSD , and came across many new terms viz Psychedelics, dissociatives and deliriants . i really feel strange that a person like me who has never lost consciousness inspite of me taking drinks sometime , and non-smoker , why am i so much interested  into these drugs things . Is it a sign of me finally turning into a junky in near future when i fail to get a handsome job . hmmm i really  don’t know and neither do i care . ok, Back to the point -  to define in very few words hallucinogen will be as follows :

The general group of pharmacological agents commonly known as hallucinogens can be divided into three broad categories: psychedelics, dissociatives, and deliriants. These classes of psychoactive drugs have in common that they can cause subjective changes in perception, thought, emotion and consciousness. Unlike other psychoactive drugs, such as stimulants and opioids, the hallucinogens do not merely amplify familiar states of mind, but rather induce experiences that are qualitatively different from those of ordinary consciousness. These experiences are often compared to non-ordinary forms of consciousness such as trance, meditation, conversion experiences, and dreams.

Now , i won’t make this post more technical or better say biological okay more precisely botanical research kind of post . If you want to know more about it . Have a look at these sites :

The Doors of Perception

“If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern.”

The Doors of Perception is a 1954 book by Aldous Huxley detailing his experiences when taking mescaline. Mescaline is the principle agent of the psychedelic cactus peyote, which has been used in American religious ceremonies for thousands of years.

Quotations
* To be shaken out of the ruts of ordinary perception, to be shown for a few timeless hours the outer and inner world, not as they appear to an animal obsessed with survival or to a human being obsessed with words and notions, but as they are apprehended, directly and unconditionally, by Mind at Large— this is an experience of inestimable value to everyone and especially to the intellectual.

* “Is it agreeable?” somebody asked.

“Neither agreeable nor disagreeable,” I answered. “it just is.” Istigkeit – wasn’t that the word Meister Eckhart liked to use? “Is-ness.” The Being of Platonic philosophy – except that Plato seems to have made the enormous, the grotesque mistake of separating Being from becoming and identifying it with the mathematical abstraction of the Idea. He could never, poor fellow, have seen a bunch of flowers shining with their own inner light and all but quivering under the pressure of the significance with which they were charged; could never have perceived that what rose and iris and carnation so intensely signified was nothing more, and nothing less, than what they were – a transience that was yet eternal life, a perpetual perishing that was at the same time pure Being, a bundle of minute, unique particulars in which, by some unspeakable and yet self-evident paradox, was to be seen the divine source of all existence. (page 4-5)

* I strongly suspect that most of the great knowers of Suchness paid very little attention to art…. (To a person whose transfigured and transfiguring mind can see the All in every this, the first-rateness or tenth-rateness of even a religious painting will be a matter of the most sovereign indifference.) Art, I suppose, is only for beginners, or else for those resolute dead-enders, who have made up their minds to be content with the ersatz of Suchness, with symbols rather than with what they signify, with the elegantly composed recipe in lieu of actual dinner.

* The man who comes back through the Door in the Wall will never be quite the same as the man who went out. He will be wiser but less sure, happier but less self-satisfied, humbler in acknowledging his ignorance yet better equipped to understand the relationship of words to things, of systematic reasoning to the unfathomable mystery which it tries, forever vainly, to comprehend.

If it ain’t you

Some people live for the fortune

Some people live just for the fame

Some people live for the power yeah

Some people live just to play the game

Some people think that the physical things

Define what’s within

I’ve been there before

But that life’s a bore

So full of the superficial

 

Some people want it all

But I don’t want nothing at all

If it ain’t you baby

If I ain’t got you baby

Some people want diamond rings

Some just want everything

But everything means nothing

If I ain’t got you

 

Some people search for a fountain

Promises forever young

Some people need three dozen roses

And that’s the only way to prove you love them

 

And in a world on a silver platter

And wondering what it means

No one to share, no one who truly cares for me

 

Some people want it all

But I don’t want nothing at all

If it ain’t you baby

If I ain’t got you baby

Some people want diamond rings

Some just want everything

But everything means nothing

If I ain’t got you

 

Some people want it all

But I don’t want nothing at all

If it ain’t you baby

If I ain’t got you baby

Some people want diamond rings

Some just want everything

But everything means nothing

If I ain’t got you

 

If I ain’t got you with me baby

Nothing in this whole wide world don’t mean a thing

If I ain’t got you with me baby

Speech- Role Of youth in fight against corruption

Respected father, honourable judges , sisters , teachers and dear friends . i am pleased to stand before you and convey my views on the subject ” Role Of youth in fight against corruption”

 Corruption undermines democracy and the rule of law. It leads to violations of human rights. It erodes public trust in government. It can even kill—for example, when corrupt officials allow medicines to be tampered with, or when they accept bribes that enable terrorist acts to take place. It has adverse effects on the delivery of basic social services. It has a particularly harmful impact on the poor. Corruption could be most efficitively fought either by strengthening media and by enabling main-stream youth to take part in drive against corruption. Here , i will be focusing, basically on role of youth in fight against corruption.  

First and foremost Youth should Vote out corrupt officials. Voting and getting in credible leaders will improve the the governance system from top.  

Youth should Organize for the dissemination of civic education on corruption , Act responsibly with integrity and not engage in corruption. It has been rightly said “how are you going to change the world if you can’t change youself . Youth should engage in work to be able to earn a living and become self reliant on their hard earned sweat instead of dreaming of making money by reaching to post which provide ample opportunity to make black money.  

Youth drives should be encouraged. These drives and initiatives give youth a voice in speaking against corruption. Young people should unite against corruption ,Seek to understand it and guard each other against them .Youth are good exposure to Internet, and media. They can question tge authority using “right to information ” . you might be surprised to know that Government of India has an online Grievance forum at http://pgportal.gov.in/ . You can use this tool to highlight the problems faced while dealing with Government officials or departments like Passport Office, Electricity board, BSNL/MTNL, Railways etc.

 Youth should be energetic and creative to mobilize and sensitize the general public. They could Enlighten the community on corruption through theatre and other means like add campaign. .Youth could be role models to the young and try try to change the thinking of the older generation. We have Indian-idol for singing ability , we have best dance partner , why can’t we have a youth model against corruption .Every youth should say no to corruption . 

Youth must be involved in both the formulation and implementation of policy against corruption. Every the top institution like IITs, IIMs or schools have got every sort of club like quiz club, debate club , sport club , robotics club but you will hardly find an anti corruption club . so , what i suggest is that Anticorruption clubs should be formed in every learning institutions.

 There is an organization which is driving youth energy to fight against corruption under name “jagoo re “. I am sure you misght have seen it advertisement in television with tag line “ye khate hain kyun ki hum inhe khilate hai “. So youth should neither give or nor receive bribes.

 Before i leave this stage , i have one last message for our youth – “Be aggressive, have courage to fight corruption. ” we can and we will make a better india , a nation free of corruption . – Thank you.

Romance

“Unless one is wealthy there is no use in being a charming fellow. Romance is the privilege of the rich, not the profession of the unemployed. The poor should be practical and prosaic. It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating.”
