Stay Blessed - But Why Should I?

I come across this sentence - "Stay Blessed" mostly at the end of each Social Media Post/Tweet of Popular People. Normally, when I see it, I presume that he/she is wishing us good deeds. But recently, I started interpreting it deep down to understand what one really means by putting it as an annotation. Is it a call to God (If one believe) to bless us. But you should be writing - "God Bless". Or is it a call to people/society to love everybody. Then you should be writing - "Stay Loved". Or is it a call to live for a long time. Then you should be writing - "Stay Long" or "Long Live". Or is it he/she themselves blessing us as they have been successful upto that point. Then you should be writing - "Bless you". Or is it an annotation to show that they care for their fans. Then you should be writing - "Take Care". Or is it a wish for fans to be always happy. Then you should be writing - "Stay Happy". Or is it they are wishing us luck. Then you should be writing - "Good Luck".

Do I sound pessimistic doubting their intentions? Maybe or may not be because still I dont get the real meaning of writing it. Now be a pessimist. They may be tasting success because of various rational reasons but popular people writing it may mean that success comes to only those who are really blessed. Blessed by Whom? A Supernatural power right? GOD/GODMEN atleast. Fans liking such posts are then CURSED? If one goes by the relation - 'BLESSED' and "SUCCESSFUL', then unsuccessful are cursed. So you have to be Blessed to be successful. If you are not, you are going to Rot. 

I really searched for meaning of this sentence in Lexicon, Oxford, Merriam, Cambridge etc. Mostly they mean bringing Happiness, Luck, Pleasure, Good Fortune, Good Karma etc. It means good deeds happen in life out of blessing and not by Rational Actions towards success. He/She writing this unknowingly unintentionally means that they are successful because they are BLESSED and the Fan liking the Post is ordinary because they are not Blessed or may be Cursed. It has high Spiritual/Supernatural meaning to it rather rationality to define success/happiness.  

I am not blaming anyone for writing such annotation. I sense that a Fan reading it may have such pessimism unknowingly created in themselves. They may think that Success comes only to those who are Blessed. After trying and failing repeatedly, they may presume at some point that he/she is not that Blessed to reach such success. They are destined to get failed despite taking efforts. It may disturb the real definition of contentment, happiness and success. They may think that their life is not that happy and successful when compared to popular people. When Successful people define and propose happiness/success in terms of rationality in even more clear words, it has huge magical guidance on Fans. Thats what we expect as an Optimist from Popular people. Stay Positive, interpret it rationally for your own good and Stay Hard Working!!

Vadivelu - Indian Chaplin!!!

Image
        The name 'Vadivelu' ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vadivelu ) itself gives us a flash of expressions, mannerisms and dialogues he has mesmerized the audience with for years in Tamil Cinema. A non-Tamilian grasps him rarely as he is a pure locally inclined comedian. But that has never made him inferior to be compared alongside comedian greats of the world. Cinema has no linguistic boundaries. Art's beauty lies in its universality across global languages. Vadivelu's mesmerism too extends way beyond dialogues that a non-Tamilian can easily miss. As an Hard-core fan, still grasping each and every inch of him as he starts appearing on screen, I will try exploring my version of 'Vadivelu'.          A Comedian succeeds when audience starts laughing seeing only his face. As he gives a Police commanding look in Maruthamazhai or A King's look in Pulikesi or A Rowdy look in Thalainagaram, he just nails it. I have started laughing numerous times as he enters

Music Memory

Image
                          "Memory is defined as the faculty of mind by which information is encoded, stored and retrieved. Its the retention of info over a period of time influencing future actions. Its related to limbic systems and vital to experiences". Definitions like these are always head-spinning. Must be reminding the financial investment disclosure ads where a famous voice speaks in ultra speed like 'Mutual fund schemes are subjected to market risks. Please read the offer documents carefully before investing'. Yes, Memory is that complex to handle even at definition level. Because, for example, what If you forget Good memories but unable to forget bad memories ? Apart from its complexity and many other unique attributes, I ll take up its storage attribute. Forget Cerebrum or Medulla Oblangata. What If Music plays a part in memory storage ?  Thats what my contention is. Blanket of Music over Mind                           Lets strictly restrict within M

Globalisation of Buddhism/Atheism soon !!

                       You would have been following any religion till now or not following nothing. For all religious followers, either you do it intense or simple Butter-over-Bread kind, have you ever thought why do we follow it ? Again category of people following your religion with some motto or meaning or understanding, please drop out. Now stick to rest of religious followers. We dont know why we follow our religion. Then we react like, my name comes from my religion. Then, I visit social institutions related to my religion. Then, my marriage happens following my religion's ritual model. Then, any festival in my home happens according to my religion prescribing. Then, I can see through my future through astrology. Its an involuntary social coupon handed over by the society at birth. This entity decides almost all of my social life.                        So a religion is not that simple as we think. It can make you hard for survival if you are a Muslim in Myanmur, Can push
