The Decay of Knowledge

Years after making something, when I look back to my own content, it looks like the writing and doings of some other self. I don’t have the required confidence to claim that it is my work only, because it was written by some other person, which is some earlier, other me.

In all, I feel empty now, because all my knowledge will decay one day. There is no feeling of accomplishment because when I look back at those certificates and appreciations, I feel like I don’t deserve them now. I deserved them before, NOT NOW.




So how do we carry this journey forward because the more steps I take the earlier fade away, and I am left with the past few, the present few and the future upcoming few.

My writings might appear to be funny in every logical sense, but the truth is that logic itself is funny in every sense.

Signing off.

Gravity (The movie) - A marvellous experience

Plot - Two astronauts are stranded in space after a storm of space debris destroys their space craft. The debris is created by the chain reaction, occurred as a result of Russia destroying one of it's old satellites.
The story revolves around how the astronauts plan their way back to earth, in an acute shortage of life-sustaining resources.

Watch the trailer here:

The film has SCIENCE, WILDERNESS, PHYSICS REVISION, PHILOSOPHY, SACRIFICE and COURAGE in it.

I am writing this for those who have watched the film already. So don't expect me to tell the story.

The parts I liked the most was when the debris destroys the structures and the pieces of shrapnel come right towards you. ( Watched it in 3D, folks)

Around 7-8 times I tried to jerk my head back, to avoid the debris hitting me in the head with bullet speed.

One more scene that I liked was, when Ryan (Sandra Bullock) lies in the ISS escape probe ready to die in silence. But she hallucinates about Matt ( George Clooney) coming inside and asking her the question, "You lost your child. That's a pretty bad thing. So the point is- Is it worth living or just stay here and die silently? because that is also nice."

Also I find the death of Matt, quite interesting. I mean, how would it feel when you are going in a total void of space with no hope at all and you are constantly trying to encourage your fellow mate who may live.


Matt just about to leave his last hope (the rope), in order to increase chances of Ryan's survival.


It would be a great death. Watching the serenity of earth from outside after having achieved almost everything (he was a frequent astronaut, man!!!!), and doing a final act of sacrifice and still guiding your junior to life, and knowing that what a great impact, you would leave in her heart and your story will leave in rest of the world, while you die in absolute silence and peace.

AMAZING!!!!!
