In Search of Truth
That means that a conscious observer is not a separate entity but a participator in the experiment and the one responsible for giving the electron its particle nature. Thus our consciousness creates material realities .
Another known fact is that when two particles are created at the same time are entangled , which means that no matter how far we separate them in space , if we change one of the particles the other particle is immediately affected .
Since the big Bang is the instant when all subatomic particles that the universe is made of was created thus everything in the universe is thought to be entangled in modern Physics. Thus what we perceive as separate entities and separate objects are not separate at all. Even u and me are not an exception. The material in our body is linked , thus mind and the consciousness are probably not an exception either.

Ravindra Nath Tagore & Albert Einstein
"Truth comes as a conqueror only to those who have lost the art of receiving it as a friend" Ravindra Nath Tagore
"The ideals which have lighted me on my way and time after time given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Truth Goodness and Beauty"
Albert Einstein
Truth Goodness and Beauty Reminds me of the idea of Satyam Shivam Sundaram

ARTHASHASTRA - Lessons for Management Theory and Practice
Arthashstra written by Chanakya in the 4th century before Christ, is a work whose relevance has not faded even after 24 centuries have gone by. Arthashastra is the evidence of the intellectual capital India possessed in its glorious past. We have the tradition of the past. We need the attitude for resurrecting and recreating the intellectual capital for the future.Artha shashtra not only describes management techniques and choice of leaders it also contains detailed description of production techniques and economics.

Dhammapada(Buddha's Teachings)
Realizing that body is fragile as a pot, establishing one 's mind as firm as a fortified city, let one attack let one guard one's conquest and afford no rest to Mara.
He has reached the final goal, he is fearless, without lust, without passions. He has broken the shafts of existence. Of such an Arahant this body is his last.
Having tasted the flavour of seclusion and Nibbana's peace, woeless and stainless becomes he, drinking the taste of the Dhamma's joy.
He who judges others with due deliberation, with judgement righteous and just-such a wise one, guardian of the law, is called a righteous.
Ever well awake are the disciples of Gotama who ever day and night recollect the Dharma's virtues.
As a tree cut down sprouts forth again if its roots remain undamaged and firm, even so, while latent craving is not removed, this sorrow springs up again and again.
Best of paths is the Eightfold Path. Best of truths is the Four Noble Truths. Best of conditions is Passionlessness. Best of men is the Seeing One (the buddha). This is the only way, none other is there for the purity of vision. Do you enter upon this path, which is the bewilderment of Mara.
Even as a thorough-bred horse once touched by the whip becomes agitated and exerts himself greatly, so be strenuous and filled with religious emotion, by confidence, virtue, effort and concentration, by the investigation of the Doctrine, by being endowed with knowledge and conduct and by keeping your mind alert, will you leave this great suffering behind.
Self-conquest is, indeed, far greater than the conquest of all other folk, neither a god nor a gandhabba, nor Mara with Brahma can win back the victory of such a person who is self-subdued and ever lives in restraint.
I do not call him a brahmana merely because he is born of a womb or sprung from a brahmani. If he is full of impediments, he is merely a brahmana by name. He who is free from impediments and clinging-him do I call a brahmana.
Indeed from concentration springs wisdom, without concentration wisdom wanes. Knowing this twofold way of loss and gain, let him so conduct himself that wisdom may grow well.

Modern time veda The wikipedia
True that intellectual wealth is for humanity as a whole and should be free to access and free of ownership, When I see communities like wikipedia it reminds me of the vedic times when knowledge was imparted by the word of mouth with the help of rhymes, Its not that they didn't know how to write a book but they thought that book on a shelf would be meaningless , so all the knowledge of the vedas resided in the virtual space of the scholars mind till it was passed down to the next generation.As the ancient Rishies added on to the wealth of knowledge most of them never bothered to put their names behind their research since their belief was that their revelations were the fruit of the universal consciousness which they thought as god.the scholars who were called Brahmin's(knower's of supreme truth) were not expected to accumulate material wealth, they survived on the daily donation for food and their basic needs. This ensured that their minds were free of greed and insecurity and the respect they commanded over the community fueled their enthusiasm in the pursuit of knowledge.
Same was for doctors and health care in ancient society, they could never charge for their service, but survived on the donations that the people gave as gratitude . Its really sweet how these ancient people had figured out the basic workings behind humanity. I was watching 'Sicko' tonight and realized how health care can become a joke when greed and commercial interest enters the business.

FUTURE OF ANIMATION IN INDIA
The Indian animation Industry has been fighting a few big problems in the past. Effective production pipeline, skilled workforce and infrastructure has been some of the major hurdels. The leading Companies of today have all these roughly in place. When I say roughly it means that there remains huge scope of improvement and the future of the Animation industry is in fact based on how well we can better ourselves in these. From this point onwards the Journey can only be towards bigger higher and better.
Animation as an art requires extreme discipline and organized effort. Countries like Philippines have lost out in spite of having a rich talent pool mainly because of its disorganized Freelance environment. Organizational strength is the core component of all BPO s. Improvements in the existing pipeline and the emergence of 3d animation as a lucrative business will help the animation studios take up the BPO model.
The recent popularity of 3d animation has hit the 2d traditional animation market badly. This is to gradually change. When the initial enthusiasm settles down 2d animation will reinforce itself and in future 2d as well as 3d animation will go hand in hand to entertain the toon lovers.
Animation is a work intensive business, thus to build a conducive environment for Artist we might see some of the big studios setting up their residential campus where the artists freed from their routine tensions can dedicate themselves to their work.
In the training front, till now only major studios were taking initiative to train fresh talent to cater to their huge demand for skilled workforce. With the rate of growth increasing this will be insufficient and the future will see Major animation training colleges setting up to provide a steady flow of talent to the industry.
The current animation business in India revolves around Production, Post production and VFX. This is soon to change with the incorporation of preproduction into the existing pipeline. With the increasing confidence of the International community, India is soon to be trusted with the generation of original content. Our rich cultural heritage can cater a new taste. The international ordinance till now has been feed with either Traditional Disney style animation or the Japanese anime. There has been an ongoing effort through out the world to evolve alternative styles of animation and soon India will join hands with the rest of the world to create original content. France, China, Korea, Japan, Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia has already gone ahead of us in this respect and India is to soon catch up
When talking of original content one cannot help but envisage a Full length Feature film from India which will awe the world in terms of story telling and international appeal. The efforts in the past in this direction have been either without vision or without conviction .The main retarding factor has been Finance. Making an animated movie costs a fortune and the returns are uncertain . India might see its studios coming together in the future to share the financial burden and to deliver a product which is truly world class. The recent success of ‘Hanuman’ in the box-office will definitely inspire a revolution in the Indigenous Animated feature industry. Creative people in the industry will have to enhance their attention to detail. A smart product in the hands of a smart salesman can definitely create history. This will by far enhance India’s identity in the International Animation business.
Like a mountaineer focusing on each foot hold is destined to reach the Peak, so shall we reach our mighty targets by giving our best for the present. Indian Animation industry is relatively young. With fresh minds teeming with ideas, great story telling ability and with loads of commitment and initiative we can definitely come out victorious. Lets do it …

THE SECRET BEHIND WORK
Reading Swami Vivekanandas works in my free time has helped me solve many queries and mysteries behind the daily struggle that we all go through; in this article u would find excerpts from Swami Vivekananda’s Writings
‘This is one Central Idea in Bhagavad-Gita: Work incessantly, but unattached.’
So our ancient Scripture wants us to forego any trace of laziness and to put our heart and soul into work. Yet that is not enough , we think work brings to us frustrations and miseries but actually it is our expectations attached to that work that do that, Even the most noble deeds will get us into misery if not done dispassionately. Detachment is the clue. But u may ask how may it be possible to be dispassionate about your Animations, Is it not from your deepest passions that u have chosen the art, Indeed it is a difficult question and even more difficult to practice. I understood the practicality when I realized how many iterations it takes to get your scene likable to your director, Passion helps you only initially to do the work as u would be pleased too, and many a times the animation which you do is good in itself but it fails because it doesn’t go with the sequence, or your director has a different set of ideas that he wants to implement, He would have probably explained it to you during Kickoff but blinded by passion u did what wasn’t at all required. So after a couple of iterations u start feeling frustrated and start cursing your Director. Frustrations happen when you expect something such as appreciation, name, fame or Money from your work .Your failure in getting appreciation, name, fame or Money puts you into frustration and misery. You may again ask ‘wouldn’t detachment mean a loss of concentration and a careless approach?’ I would say u misunderstand the meaning of being detached. You don’t detach yourself from your interest in the work but you forego the outcome of your efforts. You make every moment of your working hours as enjoyable since you are living for the moment’s happiness and not toiling for something which the future is going to bring. Remember the Joy you used to gain as a child making sand castles on the beach or drawing your favorite cartoon characters, you enjoyed because you never worried whether your castle is going to be wiped out by the next big wave. Do your animation for the sake of doing it and find tremendous results (even though u would expect none).It would feel like a surprise package from Santa. Enjoy…

The Absolute By: Sri Chinmoy
This wonderful poem was sent to me by Satish and I dedicate it to Amit Meshram who today passed away at an early age of 25. I knew Amit as a virtuous , non Indulgent , absolutely honest and a pure at heart individual who had all the ingredients to be a liberated soul. His sense of perfection was easily seen in his work and the strict disciplines that he maintained. I never seen him sway from his high ideals in life . Amit always made sure he never caused anyone any trouble or disturbance and carried on his duties with utmost care and determination. He spoke very less but whatever he spoke was simple and truthful. I find myself fortunate to having known such a Saintly person , who even being younger inspired me always. He was a perfect soul who returned to the absolute at the early hours on this auspicious day...
No mind, no form, I only exist;
Now ceased all will and thought;
The final end of Nature's dance,
I am it whom I have sought.
A realm of Bliss bare, ultimate;
Beyond both knower and known;
A rest immense I enjoy at last;
I face the One alone.
I have crossed the secret ways of life,
I have become the Goal.
The Truth immutable is revealed;
I am the way, the God Soul.
My spirit aware of all the heights,
I am mute in the core of the Sun.
I barter nothing with time and deeds;
My cosmic play is done

The ship
Human beings are everywhere, we see chaos and commotion every place.In a place like Mumbai the problems are immense. People are crammed into every corner. The Life in Mumbai revolves around earning money. People work hard to make enough savings to have enough to survive. The money earned is never enough, even though the richest and the poorest populate the city, Mumbai is equal to all, All have to work sixteen hours a day.Proximity breeds contempt , is a proverb which has been proven wrong in a place like Mumbai. Here collaboration is no more a choice but a necessity of life.Its like a ship on rough waters, all hands on deck, any exception is a traitor. Mumbai is the ship which has set out in search of treasure crewed by pirates slaves and freemen expecting to be wealthy someday, sacrificing their present for a better future. Life is difficult but none cares, since nobody is an exception here, its a fight for survival in the midst of severe uncertainties.Some one cries out Yo ho with a bottle of rum while the other holds on to the cross in silent prayer, Other just dreams of a wonderful future with a beautiful wife and happy children.All bear the vagaries of this unending voyage. But the question is weather the wealth they are seeking is really their heart felt desire. All human beings wants trust, they want loyalty, Love yet in this ship there is distrust ,jealousy ,deceit, greed and trickery. No ones really sure what they are after. But even within all this the people are one their strength is in their unity, At times of trouble there co-operation speaks the human nature,through their helpfulness they prove themselves to be children of god, through their childlike laughter they prove their innocent hearts deep within, The wealth they are seeking are right there with them, they just need to realize it

Existance(my first poem)
Our existence is shrouded by mystery ,
We are embodied in sorrow and glee,
The swells we call emotions,
Are projected in a beautiful symphony.
Guilts grow like moss and weed,
And are hard to remove just as lust and greed,
Man dwells in a cave filled with notions,
Suspicious & fearful of any different breed.
But the power of the divine light,
when unlocks the chamber of trust ,
Spreads the fragrance of good intentions,
And illuminates the heart with rays so bright.
Words when spoken means different things,
For souls trapped in different rings,
Thus my friend stay quiet and feel,
The joy that this journey of life brings.

God Hold my hand
I know you held my Hand,
When You brought me to this world so grand,
You amazed me with my eyes,
That started to see,
The wonders created by thee,
I crawled and u picked me up,
And helped me run so that I wont stop,
You are the Soul that I share with all,
Still there are times when I do fall,
And yet I know ,
That you will save me,
Deliver me,
Since the game is made for me to see,
Help me make your sacred fire ,
Free from desire ,
Help me lord fight my fear
Hold your work close and dear
Hold me up make me stronger,
Let stale thoughts never linger,
Bad press never hinder
And I know ,
You will save me,
Deliver me,
Like an eagle I ll fly free.

Laughter
I laugh my heart out at my misfortune,
No not to show how less i care ,
But to hide the pain I bear,
There are tears of happiness,
And laughters camouflaging tears,
There is also joy at choosing what I should hold near.

The story of the butterfly(This is my second poem)
When the winter pass the day to spring
The warmth of the sun many a flower brings,
The caterpillars well fed stirs in tune,
Covers themselves up in mysterious cocoon.
Only to reappear transformed as a butterflies,
Its heart flutters for where the nectar Lies.
They fly away in playful swarms,
The leaves cry behind which had fed the little worms.
Will the Buttefly find its perfect match,
Eternal question which has a little catch!
Blender smile
Satish Goda (satishg):
Its bright and sunny outside,
So the big smile on my face,
Would you please join me on my side,
And smile with me today, if not everyday.
The sunflower smiles at dawn,
And follows the sun all through the day,
So why not we smile like the sunflower,
All through the day, and give it eternal company.
Anandroop:
that's all u asked for my friend,
a smile,
that can make u run a mile,
and that I shall gladly send,
where our friendship will truly blend.

IF
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance runYours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

The Warrior of light
The Warrior of the Light views life with tenderness and determination.
He stands before a Mystery, whose solution he will one day find. Every so often, he says to himself: "This life is absolutely insane."
He is right. In surrendering to the miracle of the everyday, he notices that he cannot always foresee the consequences of his actions. Sometimes he acts without knowing that he is doing so, he saves someone without even knowing he is saving them, he suffers without even knowing why he is sad.
Yes, life is insane.
But the great Wisdom of the Warrior lies in choosing his insanity wisely.
The Warrior of the Light studies the two columns on either side of the door he is trying to open.
One is called Fear and the other is called Desire. The Warrior looks at the column of Fear and on it is written:
"You are entering a dangerous, unfamiliar world where everything you have learned up until now will prove useless."
The Warrior looks at the column of Desire and on it is written:
"You are about to leave a familiar world wherein are stored all the things you ever wanted and for which you struggled long and hard."
The Warrior smiles because nothing frightens him and nothing holds him. With the confidence of one who knows what he wants, he opens the door.
When somebody wants something, the whole Universe conspires in their favor.
The Warrior of the Light knows this.
For this reason, he takes great care with his thoughts. Hidden beneath a whole series of good intentions lie feelings that no one dares confess to himself:
Vengeance, self-destruction, guilt, fear of winning, a macabre of joy at other people's tragedies.
The Universe does not judge; it conspires in favor of what we want. That is why the Warrior has the courage to look into the dark places of his Soul in order to ensure that he is not asking for the wrong things.
And he is always very careful about what he thinks.
The Warrior knows that he is free to choose his desires, and he makes these decisions with courage, detachment, and --sometimes--with just a touch of madness.
