Ideas: Nectar of our mind, essence of our souls

Idle minds is truly a devils workshop, was wondering what ideas are all about, are they just random thoughts that leave a imprint in your head, imprints which you decide to act upon? Or am I putting too much thought behind nothing.
The very fact that I am writing a blog reinforces my belief that ideas originate from the very core of our consciousness. Ideas have always spurred me on, made me look for my purpose in life. But if this were so, then why don’t we execute all of them. There is a barrier that prevents us from acting on our “gut” feelings. Is it the fact that people may laugh at our ideas, our creative essence, thus indirectly at us. We have become a truly logical race that believes in conformity.
But if you look back at history and what really shaped it, it is the most preposterous ideas of ordinary people. But ideas by nature are not constructive all the time; they may cause repercussions that we might not be able to foretell. What I am trying to figure out is which ideas I should act upon? Should I listen to my heart, my mind or to my environment?
One thing I do realize is that ideas are not meant to be shackled, even if not implemented it must at least see the light of day. And if one of the whisks of thought is your claim to fame then let it be. If we ever want to take the next step in our intellectual evolution we must not only pour out new ideas, we must find ways to stimulate it.
I am quoting Linus Pauling here,” The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas”. It’s my mind; and my blog will help me bring my ideas one step closer to reality.

Sands of time

Ok I have the most cliched title....that's originality. It is 4 th of May 2009 and as I look back on my existence the only thing that hits me is the void that is so apparent. I pause to ask myself exactly what I am doing? Introspecting on my second blog, this is not good!! I am existing not living my life and this bothers me terribly. I read this article a friend sent over and it just opened up a flood gate in my head. Things I have lost out upon, friends that have faded away......the only thing that is left are my own idiosyncracies. Takes an effort to live, I guess I am better off than I was a year ago, but have to put everything into "living". Finally that little extract had a meaningful definition about what love is. I could relate to it, it is not cliched, it speaks of it in a practical sense. The gist from what I could comprehend is basiclally when you live for someone else, that's love. Hey go check out Mr. Adrian Tan's speech at this link. You can draw your own conclusions.

Listening to "Winds of change" by the "Scorpions", time to create my own little flutter in this world.

Blogging ain't easy

Today I had a startling revelation, all my preconceived notions regarding my writing skills came undone. I was given the task of writing a blog and the words just would not come out, I decided to plagiarize, but that was easier said than done. I struggled through the task and the fact that I had a deadline did not help either. I decided to start my Blogging career (better late than never!!!) on completing my task. For me it just made sense to evaluate my potential as a blogger and be very honest about my skills before I embark on other literary crusades. First lesson - It is easier to put down honest thoughts and emotions on paper, rather than ones that are trying to alter perceptions. If perceptions change as a natural consequence, then well and good. Second Lesson - KISS (Keep it simple stupid, thank David Marchenko for that ). Ok ran out of lessons too. Will keep updating my learnings on this new journey. Finally hats off to Twitter, used to think 140 words was too little to express myself, but trust me you can get your message in easily within that limit. Only if the damn thing allows me to log on. Anyways hats off to the mini blog !!!! Great things do come in small packages.
