Job IV


Judges

Living and celebrating his life Job creates his legend.
As a man of 24, the question of self, individuality and the result of self-examination never visited his mind until he was asked all these questions in his maiden interview for a lecturer post in a college. He hasn’t ever thought about his capacity to influence others and the description of Job as an individual.
In a fine morning Job is sitting before the principal lady of a college and she asked him the first question, “Job, how would you describe yourself as an individual?”  A bunch of questions have run through his mind on the relevance of his individuality and the definition of the name Job, which represents an individual. The lady entertained him with her second question, “Job, how much you can influence a person and what percentage will you give for your influencing quality?” Influence, influence, influence and influence. It was his first time ever in his life he was thinking something about his influencing quality. While the lady was elaborating her question he was sinking in to the deep potholes of events where he could find examples for ‘influence’. “How can I influence someone? Have I ever influenced anyone? Do I like to influence someone? No I don’t like to influence anyone because I believe in essentiality”, a bunch of questions marched through his mind and he asked himself the questions. "well, mam, I really have no idea about the quality of my influence, but i'm sure that I do nothing mysef to influence people. I need them all to make mistakes and correct them by their own lives. I like people to study from their life. above all I don't search for perfection. so, i don't have any role models. well, I proud enough to say that I influence myself every day" he said. anyhow, he got that job.
On the way back to his home he tried to recollect the questions and answers he was asked and he has given, but having failed to recollect them he was thinking something about the definitions he has to make for himself as an answer for his interviewer. The definition for him as an individual and the percentage for his influencing capacity!
“I know my soul and the essence of my life, but I can never define me as an individual because I change every minute. I was thinking something else about me last day and I am not what I was thinking last day about me. Yesterday, I thought I never can, but I can today. I was wrong yesterday, but I am right today. My ideas, views, principles, values, knowledge, horizon, and ‘and’ are changing day by day and minute by minute. So how can I   define me?” He prayed god to answer his doubts about his ‘things’.
“O god, please forgive me for not believing in heaven and hell”, he started to pray for an answer he has to make for the questions about his existence in order to satisfy the world around him. “O god, please give me some definite passions, for I may concentrate on one. I have many passions and none of them helps me to focus on particular one. If you ask me whether I like arts, yes, I do. Whether I like photography, yes, I do. Whether I like writing, yes, I do. Whether I like science, yes I do. Whether I like…, o god it seems I like everything except mathematics. I can do everything, I love everything. So please help me to really love one thing at least for the sake of their questions. I still don’t know my likes, interests, romances, passions; what a man I am!” he embraced his bed and fell in sleep.
Job doesn’t love perfection, he thinks that perfection makes him complete. He never wants to be complete so he always gives a space for imperfection in his every thoughts, dreams, things, arts and life. He loves god, the Nature and its classified mysteries. He tries to see himself in every existing and nonexistent organism in this universe. He is bit of every man, he buys books so as not to read them; he goes to concerts without caring to hear the music or to see who’s there; he takes long walks because he is sick of walking; he spends whole days in the country, just because it bores him; and goes church because he doesn’t believe in heaven.

Hindolam: S

When someone is taken away from you, you realise how much you need that person. The universe took 'him' away from her and she wasn't ready to give up yet. She needed to get back to 'him', to her world. That was the only thought that crossed her mind, it consumed her. Her fear, perplexities and doubts vanished, this was the moment she figured out what she really wanted. She realised that she knew it all along. She loved 'him' so dearly that she wouldn't leave 'him' for anything in the world.  She told him, "I belong to 'him'. No matter how intensely you love me, I will love 'him', not you. Because it was a promise for a lifetime. Even death can't do us apart. Let me go. I have to go back to 'him'. I know I'm hurting you but 'he' needs me. And do you know how ardently I love and admire 'him'? As much as you love me, if not more. And 'he' loves me much more than that also. ” His moist eyes...

Turtles of the Moon

I ought to have maintained my anonymity until the denouement, for it is there that our prospects would have thrived most auspiciously upon the uncharted horizon of the unknown.  The mere possibility of your transformation into the conjured metabolism of pataphysical existence weighed heavily upon my heart and mind as never before. I unwittingly ensnared myself in the role of a semi-demi doppelganger of Ulysses, thus sowing the seeds of my life's sabotage. I would occasionally catch fleeting glimpses of grace in the glimmer of a wondrous, age-old ruin of impeccable provenance. Through the enchantment of that ancient relic, I sustained the illusion of your presence with a kind of marvelous grace.  Yet, as I struggled to regain my aesthetic maneuverability, I found myself compelled to make a sacrificial offering of your memory upon the altar of the immutable cosmological constants.  I carry you with me to my tomb, and perhaps even beyond, for you persist within me, omnip...

Ruth: The Epilogue

By
"But..."  I was being dragged by the ebb of time into the abyss. On the shores, beneath the mountains, blue waters lulled my feet. I was looking at the completion of my life as she was calling me to join the tides.  The gravity of the past pulled me into the quantum architecture of multiple dimensions of life. I fell into the realms where I tricked my past to stay engaged. My present is an analogy of my past. The energy I created, then, in the quantum architecture transformed into an autonomous being of intelligence. I was unable to stop it from growing into a being. They said, "Quantum corresponds to each other and can transfer information to each other, no matter of space or time." Her lips quivered, and her feelings clouded her mind as she appeared like a glitch in time. Her words echoed through the ages, " We should remain ignorant of each other like we used to be in the past. I will pretend that I never knew you." P.S: Spenser read from his book, ...
