Lust is the Purest form of Love

Damned are the Men

Who consider Desires Depravity

For it is that Depravity

Wherein lies the Source of Birth and Light!

Lust is loathed as filthy, depraved and primitive. A desire that does not belong to the world of men we live in, who by the process of evolution were supposed to leave it behind with the wild and rudimentary habits of their ancestors. While a lot has changed since then, but has man seized to feel happiness and pain, fear and joy, anger and peace? If the emotions and the chemical reactions that bring smile to a face and tears to the eyes have not changed, then what value system makes one mask the most basic emotion of man – to desire and hold a body as if it were you own – to LUST!

The man who has forsaken his body and its desires can not live without damning everything that is important, for what else is left to live for. But, that is not all!

If one was to define love for an object – a person, a situation or an inanimate – what would it be if not the admiration of what is good with indifference to what is not. What would it be if not the possessive obsession of the object of one’s indulgence and the constant longing for a glimpse of sight or an instant of experience. What would it be if not the euphoria that pumps adrenalin yet is the source of peace.

But, it is taught that all are good and everything is to be loved; that love is giving without hope or desire; that it is immoral to love or want with expectation. Can an emotion that drives one to the edges and pushes beyond be so generic or so insignificant? Cleansing this Love – obsession, greed and desire – of all that has been taught by the ‘spiritual elite’ to make the(ir) world better; leaving just the raw naked emotion that you feel on thinking, seeing and feeling your indulgence; no other word, phrase or epic can explain that wild rage to acquire and silent peace after attainment in its totality except LUST!

Isn’t the source of all pleasures same  - the triumph, followed by peace! Why shall the creator of all life and form give you an emotion so profound if not for the purpose of celebration of that triumph – the celebration of self and that of the knowledge that you are in love and the pursuit is driving you crazy.

That’s not what you would hear! In the defence of the corrupt, he blames the heinous crimes of men on the greed of body. He is either an imbecile or has damned the code of living and happiness for if lust is a crime, then the whole humanity is to hang! And if that be so, then by definition the laws that were to protect, are not laws at all for who is left to follow them! The desire to take what is not yours is that of a looter, but to desire itself is a right and in fact the purpose of everyone.  The act of rape and love are exactly the same but for the intent. Scorned by hypocrites and damned by their kind, lust, is one of the most basic of the desires – but is not the origin of the intent. The intent derives its strength from the code of the corrupt- the same from where the hypocrites draw their blames.

The heightened senses and consciousness of your body and hers, of your actions and hers; the singular precision with which all that is her does not escape your being – the sweep of her eyes or the slight shrug of the shoulders – that concentration does not belong to the mind of evil but the heart that cherishes love in its purest of form…lust.

Future & Options

While entering the haloed portals of IITs in the first year, one often dreams about the destiny that awaits us at our graduation – the starry eyed dreams of raking money and acing CAT/GMAT/GRE. The journey through the 4 years that follow – of daru parties and night-outs, of high pitched late night songs and early morning ho-hum classes – leads us to the D Day where we make choices of our Future.

I am at such a juncture where fortunately for me, I am faced with 5 options:

1. The JOB – the most obvious

This is the mob option and I too am a mere sheep waiting for my turn to be showcased to the Shells and J P Morgans of our world. They need smart talent and I need big money – a heavenly matrimony.

Landed myself with an offer from Shell. Salient Features: 12 Lac package + Opportunity to become a globe trotter.

2. The CAT – the 2nd mob option

There came a day in modern history when having 3 letters in front of one’s name – MBA – became a sure-shot way (in booms) and sometimes the only way (in bursts) to rise up the corporate ladder. Owing to that fine day, you shall find me facing a screen like 241,000 others so that we set on yet another journey of starry eyed dreams.

Got 98.92 percentile but no IIM Calls. Beating 238,400 is not so bad a performance I guess. But, the IIMs didn’t think so.

3. The DOG – (De)Zign Calling

Have you ever seen a kid stare at 1 beautiful ad in a magazine and smile to himself – thats me! I love design and believe in its power to influence people. Dedicated to the cause of making the world more beautiful, I started ZignDog Media in January, 2009. Having enjoyed a good rally till now – HT, IIM K, Directi et al are our clients – ZignDog offers unique advantage of earning money while doing something I love.

Having handed over the reigns to my teammates, its their time to paint the world in the colors of their choosing!

4. The FAMILY – 1 + 1 = 11

My elder brother after graduating set himself on a mission of  saving the planet. He started a carbon consultancy firm in 2007 – thats when he became the youngest consultant in Carbon domain in the world. Today, Gensol Consultants has projects in 21 states and a team count touching 100.  Stopping Global Warming does appeal to me as a cause I should help my brother in.

Anmol – my elder brother – has made had a pretty good time since I wrote this post. Climate Change has only got more interesting with global and domestic pressure mounting.

5. The MUNSHI – Counting Millions

There is a golden window of opportunity by the name of IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards). I have had a peep into this window and made a few lacs by winning B Plan Competitions. Time is running out fast and there is no dearth of funding offers – might as well oblige them and count my millions while accounting for others’.

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs plays a spoilsport here by introducing a phased approach to the switchover to IFRS.

Next 2 months shall decide my fate and that of these 5 options. May the best option win!

Right Below the Nose

 

I haven’t been ridiculously self obsessed as to write an ‘About Me‘ post. Yet, you must permit me to give a brief history in context of what is to follow. I have been in 2 relationships – one survived for 8 months – when I was all of 13 years (moohuhaha – i know that would have caused some heartburns), while the 2nd one started off when I was 17 and is still going strong (Amen!). Now, to an average Joe this is no big deal, but considering that I hail from the much hailed ‘Indian Institute of Technology’ where a glance of feminine grace is to be treasured for eternity, it does count for a bit of a feat! So much so, that I have been infamously dubbed as the ‘Love Guru’ by a certain friend who recently suffered a heartburn- name withheld for (my) security reasons.

To those who follow my twitter babble (see right) or are my friends on Facebook, you might already be enlightened as to what this post is all about. For the lesser mortals, this post is dedicated to all the wannabe committed lot searching for Ms/Mr Perfect (extra marital affairs aren’t exactly out of fashion, but I don’t encourage them, so no ‘Mrs Perfect’ here) and also to the committed lot to reflect upon the choice(s) they have made.

The post is about ‘THE IDEAL HEIGHT OF A GIRLFRIEND‘, which as the title goes is ‘Right below the Nose’

Before the ladies reading take offence, let it be clear that I don’t intend any disrespect and am not referring to the idiomatic usage of the phrase. But, what I do mean is that a perfect couple – as far as heights are concerned – is one where the lady reaches just below the nose of the male counterpart. The reasons for such a claim are as follows:

1. The First Kiss

You might not think much of this, but it takes more than 20″ biceps to muster the courage to plant the first kiss on your lady love. Out of some dumb tradition that has been passed on generations after generations, she won’t ever take the initiative. So, the trick is to embrace the ‘one’ and have a naturally convenient position – a position that you would be in if the heights are in order -to plant the kiss on the forehead. Yes, on the forehead, not on the cheek as it’s too kiddish and meant for moms, not on the lips as you don’t want to move too fast and definitely not on the neck for the history is witness that all those who tried this have been doomed to face sandals if not worse.

2. Clicks that Count

How many times have you seen your parents, uncles and aunts sit in a circle and fret over family photographs. Some discuss when, some discuss what and others where. But, one thing they all discuss is which couple looks good together or in other words, which female, or male in some cases, is wearing how many inch heels to mask the height difference – as if the success of the matrimonial depends on that. As far as the photos go, it does! So, while you are flashing those milky white teeth to the sound of Cheeeeese, it would help to have a right heighted lady next to you.

3. The Girl Next Seat

Without going into the mushy details of why couples go for movies and long drives, let’s just settle for the fact that they do. Over the ages, the women folk have been trained to lean on their men when sitting next to them for long intervals – many thanks to the lady who invented this for this is one tradition that the men folk are happy to live with. So, when that opportune moment arises and the lady edges her head towards your shoulder, what a waste it would be if she bumps into your head or your arm for that matter. The more fortunate would have their shoulders at the right place and would enjoy the happy endings!

Post Script:

1. The post might have unintended consequences on happily committed couples for which I take no responsibility.

2. The blog is written from the perspective of male gender, though, if you are a girl and are blessed with above average intelligence to do some reverse engineering, it should work out fine for you too.
