Random Wonders !

I have been a thorough biologist for the longest of times. Basically, in other words, I have been pretty much ignorant of a lot of things other than that. I was just thinking about how narrow my sphere of thinking is.

I know nothing about the stars, the constellations or the anything to do with astrophysics. I have no clue what kind of questions they ponder on! Nothing, absolutely nothing. It is not just astrophysics, take for example anthropology, economics, sociology, languages, maths, theatre arts, etc. Of course, one might say you don't have to know everything, but then isn't it being a little too clueless about the rest of the world? I feel dumb a lot of times when I sit in my department. There are these innumerable questions that are poured in time and again from several perspectives. There are so many dimensions and levels in which one can look at the same problem, widen your horizons. But I feel handicapped and mentally challenged when at times there is no thought process that is triggered about what someone says or suggests. 

I never sit and think about the cultural issues or its impact on the social structure, or the effect of social structure on domestic lives and the choices you are inclined to or sometimes forced to make. One might sum up and say it is something that has to be driven from within. If you don't feel strongly enough then chances are you might not do anything about it. I'm sorry to say this but I disagree to a certain extent about it. How can anyone subject any length of insults to a parent when all they have done is look after you or been your rigid support and redrew their lines to accommodate you. But on the other hand, it is your life, you at least owe it to yourself to make you happy. I guess this is what they mean by calling certain beings as ABCD. Iyyam a confused desi born in the same des. I wish things change. I wish there is more choice. I wish there is more liberty and less of mental and emotional burden due to societal pressures. I wish there is a life that I can live simply based on my terms. I wish I can be the way I want to. I wish I could say I think therefore I am!

Kuch nai sochthi karke accha ich likh daala meine, none of it which amounts to anything useful for sure! ahahhaa....Like the title says, these are some random wonders. Nothing more, nothing less.

classic conflict b/w being a "master of one" v/s "jack of all trades"... My case is reverse to you... I so wish I knew only one thing In and Out... and not bother about anything else... but I end up knowing/doing/learning a LOT of things only little little... :P
