All is well

 All Izz Well Lyrics
Singer(s): Shaan, Sonu Nigam, Swanand Kirkire
Film : 3 Idiots

Na na re re ..

Jab life ho out of control honthon ko kar ke gol
Honthon ko kar ke gol seeti baja ke bol
Life ho out of control honthon ko kar ke gol
Honthon ko kar ke gol seeti baja ke bol
Aal izz well
Murgi kya jaane ande ka kya hoga
Arrey life milegi ya tawe pe fry hoga
Koi na jaane apna future kya hoga
Honth ghuma seeti baja seeti baja ke bol
Bhaiya aal izz well
Arrey bhaiya aal izz well
Arrey chachu aal izz well
Arrey bhaiya aal izz well

Confusion hi confusion hai solution kuch pata nahi
Solution jo mila to saala question kya tha pata nahi
Dil jo tera baat baat pe ghabraye
Dil pe rakh le haath usse tu fusla le
Dil idiot hai pyaar se usko samjha le
Honth ghuma seeti baja seeti baja ke bol
Bhaiya aal izz well
Arrey bhaiya aal izz well
Arrey chachu aal izz well
Arrey bhaiya aal izz well

Scholarship ki pee gaya daaru ghum to phir bhi mitaa nahi
Agar battiyan raakh ho gayi God to phir bhi dikha nahin
Bakra kya jaane uski jaan ka kya hoga
Seekh ghusegi ya saala keema hoga
Koi na jaane apna future kya hoga
To honth ghuma seeti baja seeti baja ke bol
Bhaiya aal izz well
Arrey bhaiya aal izz well
Arrey chachu aal izz well
Arrey bhaiya aal izz well


Jab life ho out of control to honthon ko kar ke gol
Honthon ko kar ke gol seeti baja ke bol
Aal izz well
Murgi kya jaane ande ka kya hoga kya hoga
Arrey life milegi ya tawe pe fry hoga ho ho
Koi na jaane apna future kya hoga kya hoga
Honth ghuma seeti baja seeti baja ke bol
Bhaiya aal izz well
Arrey murgi aal izz well
Arrey bakre aal izz well
Arrey bhaiya aal izz well
Na na na ..
Arrey bhaiya aal izz well Arrey bhaiya aal izz well

Robot! ……..Enthiran!…Artificial intelligence Vs Genuine Intelligence



Robot !  Enthiran ! has rocked at the box office. Chitti the Robot has acquired the status of the Hero in the movie without any doubt. Well! How can the Robot be considered to be “real”? Is it because he can answer questions in a human way or moves in a way similar to human beings? Aren’t these programmed? Are these not a reflection of the programmer and not the reflection of the true intelligence? Think it over…..

The robot could be programmed to do any task as programmed. But do they have a mind with the  treasure of emotions that we human have? “Energy in motion” -  Emotion . To explain further,  energy of human beings is displayed through emotions. The energy could be positive as well as negative and this is the essence of humanity.  

When Chitti the robot was programmed to understand the emotion of love the energy in motion was love with a lot of byproduct emotions compassion , kindness etc. Positive feelings grow to generate further positive thoughts.  But when the love isn’t reciprocated, the robot unleashes terror and destruction on an inhuman scale, turning into a Frankenstein’s monster that Dr. Vasi must tame if he wants to save his ladylove and stop wanton destruction.  The Robot is only programmed to display emotions but not in light of the conscience or mental framework which is the gift exclusive only to humans. The human mind can efficiently juggle between complex   emotions with the help of conscience and emotional intelligence. But when the negative emotions get compartmentalized   then the result would be similar to the Frankensten monster. 

It’s well said –

Firmly tie the mind, resembling a mad elephant, to the strong pillar of its perceptual content, with the rope of contemplative inspection, and gradually tame it with the hook of discrimination.

-- Buddhist Handbook, Salamander Press

Emotions and instinctual impulses play a primary, essential part in all human thought. Therefore, no matter how well programmed a robot may be, it will never find the essence of humanity and cannot, therefore, be considered a real person.

Actions taken on the basis of rational decision-making   always require some degree of subjective, emotional, instinctual preference based values. Pure logic, as in computers, is an impossible ideal for human beings. 

In this context it certainly appears that we could call emotional intelligence as genuine intelligence.

Kartik calling Kartik ………… Tring Tring Tring “”””””The conscience calling Us !


Last night, I happened to watch Kartik calling Kartik! A film well taken with none of the regular depressing scenes through out of the end disclose of schizophrenia. It is something really unexpected in this genre. As I watched the film with great anxiety, with a lot of questions in my mind (A thrill you enjoy when you do not know the story or the reviews of the movie) the end seems to be just an ordinary excuse. But this set my mind rolling into another arena, the result of the new beginning spiritual, philosophical and religious talks and books …

Have we anytime felt there is an inner conscience inside all of us? Do we hear that feeble tring tring ……? Well to the gifted ones it would be the most cherished call which leads them to “Living life to the fullest”. It would not seem a feeble noise going unnoticed. It is God’s voice in mankind.

Conscience is an aptitude, faculty or judgment of the intellect that distinguishes whether one's prospective actions are right or wrong by reference to norms (principles or rules) or values

Conscience indicates the idea that God is actively nurturing us so that we might grow up to be like Him. Conscience or intuition awakens our inner awareness.

Our conscience is a Great Teacher dwelling inside us; it is a Great Treasure. If we choose to follow the gentle urgings of this Great Gift from God, we will know happiness, have peace of mind, and experience a life rich with meaning. On the other hand, if   we choose to ignore the prodding of this Great Friend, our constant companions will be stress, regret, worry, fear, anxiety, guilt, shame, grief, and despair.

No book can teach us; no teacher can teach us. Conscience knows and knows that it knows. Our conscience always wants to help us to improve ourselves and unfold our inner being. Conscience tells us things all the time and conscience knows, but we do not know our conscience. The voice of our mind is very loud. The voice of the conscience comes from silence. The first step of enlightenment is to follow the conscience and not the mind. At the highest level of consciousness, conscience becomes brilliant.

Every person is familiar with his inner voice which on occasion accuses and oppresses him, and on occasion brings him joy. Conscience by its nature is a spiritual instinct, which more clearly and quickly differentiates between good and evil than does the mind. He who listens to the voice of his conscience will never regret or be ashamed of his behavior.

 Lahiri Mahasaya said - “Attune yourself to the active inner Guidance; the Divine Voice has the answer to every dilemma of life. Though man’s ingenuity for getting himself into trouble appears to be endless, the Infinite Succor is no less resourceful.”
