The Alternate Energy Cookbook

We live in the confines of four walls for at least 60% of our lives. And the rest within the confines of the dogmas of the people who bring us up from our childhood.  Strangely enough if we are not confined by their preset ideas then it is the ideas of our peers and more so our bosses.  I have found this to be a travesty of our times that people neglect their real self in the hope of finding nirvana.  It is not going to be waiting at the pearly gates nor is it going to be a barfi handed over to you at the end of your career/life cycle.  Ever bought tyres from a local shop.  When they offer seconds they really mean to ask you "are you serious?".  I mean who would want to buy retread tyres except the retarded. 

Speaking of retarded, friend of mine recently came back from an asylum and the first thing he asked the gate man standing in his apartment complex who saluted him was "pagal hai ?"  When he related the tale to me, I cracked up, here was a man who had spent nearly 6 months treating his mind and in his first interaction with the outside world he was already having fun. Illness is a sad thing in human life, when you undergo it there is only pain and the horror of having experienced the might of the man sitting up above in the clouds.  If you do come out of the illness then the air of hope and feeling of going someplace is overpowering enough to bury the bad memories.

Friend of mine actually researched the fruit called custard apple and found that vital ingredients in it are actually cancer killers.  This fruit found in abundance in South America, West Indies and parts of South India as well has remarkable curative properties.  If you research then you will reach logical conclusions and if you research mildly then there may be times that will leave you mildly flustered by the lack of coherency in your life and of course if you don't research your topic then it will be long haul.  Dogmas that haunt us continue to do so unless newly researched ideas reach us.
You can survive and then some, but to really live you need to desolate.
