Pigeon's Plight

As I can’t fly
I can do nothing but cry
So, I wished to die
Why can’t a cat have my fry?


I was about to bid bye
All my Friends cooed “Hi”
With pity asked me “why”?
And said, "You can give a try”

Still I can’t fly
Watching my friends in the sky
I feel I am high
Ah! The cat came and had my fry

Battle of Heart and Mind

My heart (may be my conscience) tells me that I am wishing for it and just go for it. And my mind says ‘No’, argues that I don’t wish for it and some other is more apt for me.” I agree that "Heart" never lies. But what if 'it' is completely unknown? "Heart" remains silent? Will it be always silent in such circumstances? If the answer is no -

Though both the heart and the mind don’t know which choice is the better, they just fight with each other to win the argument. Perhaps, it is not always easy to give rational explanations, particularly in the case of likes and dislikes.

For a long time my mind is almost winning, sometimes by convincing the heart and most of times ignoring it. Well, at the same time, heart has also never given up the battle. Whenever possible it’s arguing with my mind again and again. May be by ignoring the heart forever makes it to forget about its wish. Is this right or wrong still a big question mark?

There is also a possibility that some day my mind may succumb to my heart. Even then I may not have any rational justification of the winner. Sounds strange!

I wonder why we need both the heart and the mind. Why this dual and duel? May be the answer lies by making both of them as one. I have to figure it out.

'C' Hello World Program

Sometimes when I am in philosophical mood, I confront with a simple question -Is everything in our life preprogrammed by God? Are the decisions which we make in our life just sensory delusions?

If it is the case then whatever we do is just execution of the algorithm/program. All the variables in the program are clearly declared, defined. As the next state of any variable is known if the current state is known, all the variables are deterministic.

Is it just a Deterministic algorithm? Is there no randomness and probability in God's world?

Okay, first let me accept it as the God's program. Then, once main() function is started there can be many functions (lives) to pass through. Some functions with humongous calculations are hard to execute and some other very easy. We may call the functions recursively, and some times end up in infinite recursive function calls, never return back to main. There can be "if(condition) then.. else.." statements in the program. And the satisfiability of the condition can be dependent on the random variables whose values are the results of the person's decisions and actions. These variables can be any of these types - auto, static, volatile and global. Regardless of the type of the variables, the basic question remains as it is - 'Randomness of the variables'. Does God rolls dice to determine the variables or are they deterministic?

I have arrived to this question, unknowingly, to which Einstein once answered "God does not rolls dice." I don't know whether it is true or not but I wish just to know the difference when I am in main and out of main.

Past, Present and Future - All are abstract.
