Clay Sculpture by 2008-10 batch NID Bangalore

It has been 6 long minutes since I have been staring at the screen of my Lenovo R61 thinkpad, in the hope of finding a start for this post. And finally I get bored out of thinking and staring. This is a real issue with me, the ideas don’t come when they are supposed to come but they pop up in my head at random instances. And when they pop up, the time has flown by and I can only console myself with the thought that this will be used at a similar future situation if it happens.

Sometimes, some ideas pop up without a reason behind it. They pops up ahead of their time, they are so excited to get into the world that they force their way into reality, and the least I can do is to admire their enthusiasm. But that idea does not want no admiration, it just wants to be materialized. But many of the times I am not the medium for the materialization of some of these ideas, but other people are (may be friend, family or even unknown people). The idea is too excited to be bound to any one person, race or country. It somehow finds it way into this world.

And when one sees the idea in its true form, one spreads it across to the world. And I saw one of the ideas I had in mind for a long time, being executed at NID Bangalore by their 2008-10 batch, when I went there to meet my friend. He was also excited about what they had made, and wanted to show it me. May be he (the idea) wanted to tell me, that he is not dependent on me for his becoming the action. Their execution finally inspired me to complete the thought, that became the idea and the idea that should have become the action. Although, I had a different execution in mind, I am staying true to their creation and not making changes, in order to respect the action.

If I am a unique being then all my thoughts and actions are unique; what I think could never have been thought in the same manner, what I have done could never have been in the same manner. Hence I feel that it is wrong on my part to generalize what I think/believe onto the whole of human kind. For example if I say that we are destroying the planet, or we are responsible for all the trash that is lying on the road; whom am I referring to, how do I know about others; I can be certain about me and my actions but not about others.  There is no we but only I, it is I who think, who does and thus it is I who needs to change in order to see the change happening around me. And it is not difficult to change also; all I need to do is to think for the change to happen and voila. The wiring inside my brain will change as I think and as a result I will change.

Coming back to point about the andy’s; there are so many of them and each one doing a specific role in my body. The funny thing being they don’t even know that their doing one particular task is keeping me functioning; they don’t even know about me, and also not about the existence of other andy’s in my body. Still without knowing about other andy’s or me; they are working in such a coordination that keeps making me do what I want to do. I sometimes ponder over the fact that if I am the andy in someones body. If this universe is alive and I am just serving one purpose in the universe. But then I feel that I need not know about it; I just have to do what I feel like doing and it will serve the purpose. There might be trouble when I do something against my intuition; just like the andy’s in my body. If they did something out of line I might be in trouble and in turn they will be in trouble. Similarly the universe will be in trouble if I did something out of line and inturn I will be trouble. I will need to change if I am not following my heart and being intuitive; ’cause if I am not then there might be some problem with the universe. For which I just have to think and rewire my brain and voila the universe will change around me.

All these andy’s make me feel like an universe, make me feel as big as possible and the universe starts making me feel like andy. And having studied programming, the funda of recursion comes into my mind again and again. Am I the universe or the andy; or is this a never ending loop?  Is every andy an universe and every universe an andy? Is this the way it is? But then I need not think all this and just follow what the heart says, and I will serve the purpose if I am an andy and I don’t even need to know about it.
