The Human Brain : Just Faaaascinating

I was reading Human Physiology for my PG preparation these days and I got fascinated by the human brain. The most vital structure of the human body remains the least explored even at the present times with all the modern technologies at our beck and call but to understand the working of human brain still remains a challenge to the neuro-scientists. What we know till day is just some anatomy, some significant areas of our interests medically and used for curing diseases but nobody paid attention to the vastly barren areas of human brain. Just because it seems too difficult to penetrate, increasing complexity at each step and lack of Human volunteers and research funds not sufficing enough to encourage the scientists interested. In the brain what fascinated me most was the limbic system and the hippocampus, the generator of all emotions and feelings - both positive and negative. It is said that all the great persons had something in common their approach towards life and their way of thinking. Well the answer to greatness lies somewhere in between the layers of cortex of the limbic system, allocortex and juxtallocortex. The whole brain appears to me as a great electromagnetic field interacting constantly with other electromagnetic fields of the universe having a great impact on the universe. I hope during the coming years the scientists come up with the answers which are not yet answered :-
- Why only human evolved so fast that they left all the other species who were left way behind during the process of evolution ?
- Why do some people reach extra-ordinary levels of greatness while others lag behind being mediocre ?
- What is our thought process and how does it affect our lives ?
- Do we have something called luck or the chance factor ? Can we really control our lives ?
-What is that portion of the human brain which is the most central to all these questions ?
- Do we really have a "soul" inside our body ?
- Can we really apply all the laws of physics and nature to an organic body still capable of acting like a metal conducting electricity ??
- Do we have a direct connection with God at some level in our life ?
- What is "God" exactly understood by us ?
- Myself and all of us accept the presence of a higher energy which regulates us all , so how does the regulation takes place ?

To find the answers of the above questions and many others yet unanswered we have to wait for the future and search for the clues in the divine quotes and writings of the great saints and religious preachers of past. The world seems interconnected by a force binding us, the origin lies somewhere in our minds. Can you really "think" about it ??

The "insignificantly" SIGNIFICANT people of our lives.

Today I am really emotional, just came to remember something . It was a great day for me and I will have to share it with you all because incidences like this seldom happen in your life and I was no doubt "overwhelmed".
It happened when I was back home during my PSM postings and mom send me to have something from the market. It was afternoon and very few people were there on road. I was walking with my eyes closed, lost in my own world as usual. So I didn't notice a bike stopping few steps away from me. The guy wore a helmet but it appeared to me as if he was looking at me. When I caught notice of him, he slowly took off his helmet. I could now notice a big man with moustache, familiar face. I struggled through my memory to have a name or even the slightest idea who he was. As I drew closer, I could actually remember him with his name - Satyendra. He used to drop me to school in his auto rickshaw when I was a kid studying in Class 6th. I cursed myself how could I forget him. He was always so sweet to me. Anyways, by that time we were facing each other. He gave me his hand and we shook hands.
Satyendra : " Pehchane Sonu?"
By that time I was all prepared.
Me : " Arrey Uncle aap, kaise hain ?"
Satyendra : "Bas sab badhiya... so doctory complete ho gayi tumhaari ?"
Me : "Haan bas isi saal huyi hai"
Then we talked some usual stuff.
After sometime he said with a smile on his face " Mujhe laga nahi pehchanoge .."
I was embarrassed but I concealed it very well.
Me : " Arrey Uncle aap bhi !!!!!"
Satyendra : "Chalo tumhe yaad ho na ho, mujhe sabhi bacche bahut acchi tarah se yaad hain. Tum to yaad ho hi."
Me : " Toh Aunty bacche theek thaak ?"
I suddenly came to remember that he got married when I finished my class 6th and chose some other profession.
Satyendra :" Haan", and then he told me something which stunned me,
"Pata hai maine apne bade bacche ka naam Pritesh rakha hai. Uss waqt tumhara selection just hua hi tha. Paper mein naam padha tha tumhara. Mujhe isse accha naam nahi soojha."

And I was stupefied, petrified and couldn't speak a word. Words failed me and I didn't know what to say at that time.
Me: " Uncle, bahut jyaada ijjat de di aapne mujhe".
After that I couldn't speak. He saw that on my face. We shook hands again. He wished me all the success in my life ahead. After that he kicked off his bike and left leaving me wondering - " What are we without these people who played small and significant roles in our lives ? I could hardly remember that guy and he named his son after me !!!!! As we move in our life ahead, we tend to forget these people without realising that what an important role they played in our life. They made us a part of their life and are living with it and we don't even know that !!!!! I am still wondering that it happened for real. We sometimes move so fast in our lives that we don't notice people around us. So lets pause, flashback and remember all those persons whom we so happily omitted from our lives but without them our life wouldn't have been the same as we live today. Thank you all the "insignificantly" significant people of my life !!!!!!!

The Divine Hurricane

A peaceful evening,
The sky went dark,
With signs of impending doom,
I could hear the death dogs bark.

Oh My God !!! It was true,
The truth I always knew,
I couldn't hide it more from myself,
Was searching someone to desperately help.

I found none, I found none,
In search of the Sun , I got undone,
The hurricane passed and was all barren,
I never thought anything worse can happen.

I started gathering what was left with me,
In a sky so clear now, the Heavens I could see,
A light dawned upon me from nowhere,
God made me a part of his secret share.

I questioned, is it real?
Don't doubt you just have to feel,
Oh! How divinely was i healed,
I myself dispatched my future sealed.
