This need belief in God and rebirth. But if true, it's funny 😂

Almighty: "Ah welcome".

Me: "Nice place. A little too white for my liking".

Almighty: "What took you so long? You were scheduled to arrive long back."

Me: "I am sorry. I had everything organized back then. Last minute glitch in plans. I couldn't free myself in time. I have been trapped since. Very painful and long years".

Almighty: "Well, better late than never I guess."

Me: "Yup. That's all that matters. So what's the next assignment?"

Almighty: "Nothing."

Me: "what do you mean?"

Almighty: "Well, my records say you have completed the 1,000,000 lives and there are no more assignments."

Me: "But, but, I am cheated. I didn't have a full life. I want to go back and have a full and complete time."

Almighty: "Well, this one was full and complete long time back. I don't know what you were doing hanging around there. It's not like you were doing anything. Besides this is just the 1. There have been 999,999 lives earlier which have been full by that yardstick.

Me: "I miss it already. Can you please take me to the edge and push me down?

Almighty: "What makes you think that we are Up?"

Me: "Wait. We're not up here?"

Almighty: "well, Yes and no. It's a bit more complicated than that."

Me: "That's interesting. What is next if not going back?"

Almighty: "I don't know. You have to decide where you want to go."

Me: "Really. How do I decide?"

Almighty: "Timely today. We have quite a few open house's this afternoon. Have a look and make a good offer...."

20231208 : Privilege...

  Before my stroke, I had enough and more work to do - both on the work front and home front. I had reasonably ok health, reasonably good eating habits, reasonably good physical activities. Money is not enough for anybody, but it was reasonably ok as well. The only thing I had very less of (almost none) was time! Free time specifically. I keep sharing video recommendations to many folks regularly - most of them,  long talk show formats (1½ - 2 hours sometimes). Very interesting and informative pieces in my opinion. In today's world filled with over information and disinformation, it is almost impossible to understand most things if we don't spend the time and either read and research ourselves (which is a very far shot) or spend time going through secondary sources who have done it for us and can present it in an unbiased way.  Without it, it is very easy in today's world to get biased, subscribe to misconceptions, get misled, manipulated, etc.  However, often I get the res

20240811 - Bubbles on the back

Ever since I have had my stroke and became bed ridden, I sleep on a mechanised hospital bed so that I can be inclined and reclined to different levels and heights. It is needed both for me (as my muscles don't support me and I can't get up on my own) as well as the nursing staff to be able to do many things needed for my care). The hospital bed, as you may have noticed in hospitals, has a mattress which is made of rexine upholstery (usually blue in colour - I don't know why). It needs to be a non absorbing upholstery to be able to wash/ wipe the mattress clean as it is very common to soil it for bed ridden people who are in diapers. That makes it hard unlike usual mattresses. Most importantly, I have been lying on an "airbed" on top of the mattress since my stroke, the airbed is also a very common feature for bedridden people (especially strokes like my case). Since we have absolutely no ability in our muscles on the back, waist, hips, etc., we can't turn arou

20240124 : balancing the equations...

It is fascinating to read and understand how muscles work. For all my life, (since I had not given it any thought earlier), I simply had assumed a muscle is 1 muscle. Ex, if we say bicep muscle, it was one muscle in my mind (I don't know why I imagined so, but so it was). The truth is very far from it . Each muscle is made up of hundreds of strands (maybe thousands). And the best part (I have practically understood, not backed by any medical stuff) - is that each strand is connected separately to the brain and not as one.  For mechanical enthusiasts, each strand works like a sort of rack and pinion arrangement, operated by a chemical reaction, triggered by the brain. Each strand has two separate connections to the brain - one to work the rack and pinion arrangement each way (to contract the muscle strand and the other to release it or relax the muscle strand). In short, that's how it achieves any movement. By selecting the set of muscle strands to activate (how many most probab
