Will We Ever Learn? | A Covid 19 concern | Harison Xavier

Image
  I wrote the above title about  three months ago and now it is September. I didn't want to write about it because  something tells me this is just the tip of the iceberg. Yes. this is a rant on things that could have been done before in the past effectively. Yet for some reasons we didn't do it.  I wanted to reach out to people and make them understand how serious the situation is.  I know most people are perfectly heathy and they will not die due to Corona. Yet we can't risk loosing our older generation to this disaster, that should not happen due to our irresponsibility. For the past 6 months I am spending my days in a room alone away from friends and family, I definitely want to see my family and be with them but due to many reason I don't want to go there at this time also on top of that I may risk bringing Corona to my home. I don't want to do that. I have done enough.  Recently I read an article by Muralee Thummarukudy, he is the Chief of Disaster Ri...

Divine Experiences | Harison Xavier

Image
Read this as if you are reading a fiction story. You do not have to believe this.   I am going to share about two experiences that I got which cannot be explained with any scientific evidence. These experience are so unreal I don't know if it is worth sharing.  I grew up in a religiously strict family. My mom used to go to church everyday and she is very religious, she have the strongest belief in God our family, she never used to complain, she always depended on God for help for any troubles in life . As a custom she used to send me to retreat centers once or twice every year. It is was very important for her that I have a spiritual retreat and be close to God.   I really didn't like it. I will have to go away from home and stay at a place for a week and pray continuously, it was boring.   First experience - Angel Valley Source : Google Maps I was 11 or 12 of age when visited Angel valley for first time. I liked this place very much away from the city, so ...

Silent Artist | Harison Xavier

Image
Image Credit Artist : A.Fairy  Introduction   I have a great love for art, I don't know why but I love to stare at paintings for a long time. I wish to know the meaning behind every art and see the story but my primary school art teacher Shajee Chelad   said that " the aim of an art or an artist is not to tell the meaning or the story, it is to showcase a medium where the viewer can visualize his or her own story by themselves. The story the artist see will not be the same as the story the viewer have. "  His words made a great difference in the way I viewed art.            The freedom of an art. A single art with explanations that are multidimensional.  The same picture or painting that have so many stories to say. Is there something like this that can say multiple stories at a single time?  I always tried to draw and paint pictures and it all ended up ugly, I will need more practice. I forgot most of the things Shajee si...

Media And The Truth | Harison Xavier

Image
                                  Introduction  I didn't wanted to write about this, I deleted this post before and I am rewriting it again but if I don't post it I will not get peace. This is a topic that is bothering me for a very long time. I hate to think about it, it consumes too much mental energy. And the research needed to find the truth is beyond me but that should not stop me from making my point or a first step. I find it very difficult to write about it.                                   I am an avid reader, I am keenly interested to know what is happening around the world. I spend minimum 2 hours reading all the news I can find everyday. If you ever read the same news from different source you will know how biased they are. The same news could be twisted to different forms...

Life After Death | Harison Xavier

Image
Is there a life after death?  A short blog on my thoughts on life after death. Let me give you the conclusion right away. "There is no ultimate or one final answer for this question." Maybe the oldest ever question in the history of humans. "Is there a life after death? "  I am writing this to make my mind clear on what exactly is my belief.  Once a friend asked me if I believe in life after death. It was just a small talk and he was only expecting yes or no answer, I normally don't like small talks, I want deep conversations.  Anyways questions like these makes me think for a very long time. I wanted to explain him a lot, but when it comes to philosophy or small talk questions like this, there is no complete answer to it  and nobody cares about your thoughts. I just said; Yes. I do believe in life after death. This was because I won't get him bored with my long answer.  This question stayed with me, as a religious person I am taught from a very ...

20 Predictions For The Future - Part 1 | Harison Xavier

Image
I am not a fortune teller This blog would be a part II of my recent post Artificial Intelligence : Our future , my thoughts are going into every subjects and I want to organize my thoughts into writing so that I could figure it out what am I actually thinking. The following predictions could happen in next 30 to 50 years or even early. These predictions maybe too dreamy and unrealistic, however my question is what is really realistic about life we have now, we have cars that don't need drivers, robots that are deployed in moon and mars that are controlled from earth. Humans around the world fly. These are the things that were unrealistic hundred years ago. So let me get to the topic, and I want to inform you that I am not a fortune teller, and the content I share here may or may not happen in the future. The following are a few of my thoughts on how our future will shape. I am expecting even more incredible future in the next 50 years. 1. Universal Basic Income    ...

I Am Not The Center Of The Universe | Harison Xavier

Image
I am writing this to tell myself that  "I am not the center of the universe".     I do not exist. I do not matter. I am not important. I am not entitled to anything.  I am given the greatest opportunity to be here, right now, at this spot of the universe.  Comparing me to the universe, I am just a bacteria or a particle smaller than an atom, who do not have any value or rights.  I can be ignored. I am easily replaceable.  "I" am nothing. Everything I see and feel are based on my presumption of life, I am wrong. I view the world through my eyes. I am not looking at the big picture.  That driver who honked at you, cut you through in traffic was taking his son to the hospital. That women who behaved rudely to her customers, was desperate to make a sale to pay her kids school fees. That kid who stole things, have not ate anything in the past three days. The elderly couple who were taking to much time at the bank  lost their home and savings ...

Hustle And Grind : Part 1 | Harison Xavier

 Stubborn - A life Story Of  A Fool       Spetember 20 2020            It was quiet outside, the city is asleep. Warm morning. It was one of the rarest of the rare moments of time when Bangalore is this quiet. There is no long traffic, honking cars, cows  or people outside. Just the dusty streets with few street dogs and garbage men. Few people are on their way out to work, it is a hard time for the daily wage workers. The Corona virus  pandemic    have hit everyone hard. Life is all a struggle for survival for them. Me sitting in my crappy room, waiting for all this to end.  Life was good last year, I have even mentioned it to a few of my close friends before the year ended that this was the happiest year I ever had. I was able to find happiness and peace. Most importantly I had great experiences all year round. I was finally happy about spending all my day alone. I never felt lonely. I was producti...
