Duality and reality

there is a battle between emotions and rationality. i face it very frequently. and it is root cause of almost all confused decisions. i hardly miss people, but when i miss someone, my rational mind tells me that i never actually experience that person, but it is something in me which is coherent with that person's presence has given me feeling of interaction with that person. but my emotions say, every bit of that person's presence contributes to the interaction and since that person is absent, there is no possibility of interaction, even if it is totally inside me.
duality is reality. why i always feel that reality should i have an unique interpretation. no need for such! why i think that I can always fit my experience in logical framework? Godel says in his famous first theorem of incompleteness (statement made simpler) that a system can be complete or consistent. i feel a connection with interpretations of reality. understanding of reality can either be complete or consistent. if i try to put all my experiences under logic then i surely have a phenomenon which is dual in nature and if i avoid duality then there are some experiences which will not be fitted in logic. trade-off!
the decision making skill might be to choose between consistency or completeness. in most of the situations it is more towards consistency since we hardly need to consider whole canvas of reality to make decisions (since reality away from us has decreasing impact on our decision). but for systems which are supposed to be holistic, this trade-off might be crucial.

Why did I not feel awe for AWIAL?

                It happens that we choose we do certain things because of FOMO. That is how I ended up watching All We Imagine As Light (AWIAL). And somewhere in the first half, I realized that I should not have been movie hall to watch this move. I could have waited for it to appear on OTT or even other chance encounter. I liked the movie. I like the detailing of reality in the art form. But may be because of age, I seek an escape through the stories that I interact with, a shock to my senses, an intellectual or moral puzzle that stays with me. AWIAL contains nothing of this sort. It is a story of temporary closures, shown beautifully and marketed even more successfully. Image from internet                It has its own moments of magic, a part where we must choose to believe whether a certain character is indeed what it seems to be. The movie turns there and one of the leadin...

Poems of lost winter

A shadow of loss hangs over the city, Even when it is December,  The time when we should dip the year of losses in  Illusion of good times.  But the cold nights and warm days,  Stand so apart from each others, Like strangers sharing the same room.  And, one wonders where is the winter that we all know.  Where are the days of kind light? Where are the days of aimless strolls? Where are the roads wide enough for our dreams?  Like an incomplete conversation that promised so much and  Melted in adieu, The chill in the air disperses and lurks the summer Of blinding premonitions. When we die under the unbearable sun, dear, Will you remember the poems which we left back in the last winter?

Joy

i am alone, somehow at the balance of memories and dreams, some encounters with reality practically, a room for me, a laptop, movie, food, coffee, cigarettes and loneliness to get kick out of everything.... fucking nice life! missing a mate or complete loneliness!!
