A small deviation

Now, this is a slight deviation from my previous topic. But hey, listen. This is my blog and about my experiences. So I write whatever I want, remember? hahaha.. I know I sound like a jerk here, but I sometimes used to get surprised at it myself (and of course sometimes proud of being an occasional jerk. You should try it out once). Then I found something interesting.. Astrology!! Yeah yeah.. I know. Astrology is bulls... whatever!! But, that is the funny thing. I used to consider the same before I accidentally stumbled upon some astrology website. I was curious as always (yeah, you can never kill my curiosity) and was surprised to see that most of what I learned through astrology did come true.

Now, I am not talking about horoscopes. No sire!! I don't believe in horoscopes unless they serve my purpose. You need to understand that astrology is far more than the daily strip of horoscope you read in the newspaper. And I am absolutely not interested in that daily strip. I know that I control my life and not the circumstances around me. It's been like that from the day I started thinking. But I do believe that astrology can reveal more about oneself and help them understand more about themselves. For example, why they behave the way they behave, why someone else looks at you in a particular way and so on.

In my case, I knew that I was (and will always be) "weird" and different from people around me. People never seemed to understand me and I never feel comfortable with the "normal" crowd. I don't make friends easily and whoever I call my close friends, I will keep them for life and I can do almost anything for them. I was desperate to know why. And as I said earlier, I accidentally stumbled upon astrology. From then onwards, I have been actively researching it.

Now, why did I bring this topic? Well... Frankly speaking, I came across a very interesting website and post on that. It is dedicated to my kind. The kind of people you either hate or love, but can never ignore. It is about the kind of people you will either respect or be afraid of. And in all probability, it is the kind of people 90% of you will fall for. It is about Scorpios.

Yeah, I know the dirty expression on your face. Or is it just plain fear? Oh, I hear you calling me a creepo, a jerk or even a bitch (I know you are using better swear words than those). For others, I am sure you have the expression of WOW!! interesting.. You know the funny thing? We are the most misunderstood sign of the zodiac. Naturally I won't be offended about what you are thinking about me right now. If you are my kind, I know you are chuckling and you know what I am talking about (even if you don't believe in "astrology").

So, I want to set the record straight. The post I am posting here gives you our general characteristics. Again, know that these are our general characteristics. Each person is unique and necessarily doesn't have all these characteristics, and so do I. But this has definitely helped me understand myself a lot better. It has also given me the confidence and strength to know what I truly am and what my powers really are. So, here you go. I have deleted some points and added my own points so that it looks less offensive. On the other hand.. If you are offended, that's not my problem!!

1) I’m a Scorpio (I know.. *gasp*)

2) Most people think I’m mean but if you get to know me, I’m actually a cool person.

3) I am a difficult person to get to know though. Scorpios are highly secretive.

4) You’ll never really know what I’m thinking. I could be feeling you but you wouldn't know it.

5) If I go out of my way to talk to you (rare), I either care about you, or you got something I want. ROFL!!

6) Flirting does nothing for me. Confidence=turn on, as well as other little simple things i'm not telling.

7) I think about sex more than I care to admit. That doesn't make me a sexual predator, a sexual psychopath or a nymphomaniac.

8 ) It may seem like I’m picky when it comes to love, but I’m really just weeding out all the dummies. I don't settle for second best.

9) I don’t trust many people completely. You need to prove your trustworthiness. Naturally I have a handful of close friends who I completely trust. And they know who they are.

10) I am irritable. Don’t irritate me. Thanks.. LOL!!

11) Oh, I know how to push your buttons. It’s fun and I love it.. har har!!

12) I usually get what I want. I’m kinda persuasive like that.

13) I don’t let many people in, because they wouldn’t understand the depth of my thoughts. Only those who understand that depth or share the same feelings are my closest friends.

14) So I keep to myself, and smile at you silly, superficial azz people.

15) I’m a people watcher. I see you!

16) I am not an introvert. But I need my space when I want it. Don't dare step inside that space.

20) I’m a serious person but I’m funny too, I’d do anything to make you laugh, even at my own expense.

21) I’m an affectionate person. Not in public though. Unless I’m in *that* kinda mood

22) I feel 1000000000 times stronger than most. But I know how to keep it together.

23) I keep my friends close, and my enemies closer >:)

24) You have an attitude problem? You know nothing about it. Let me teach you what it is. Rather, let me show you.

25) You probably don’t know about it, but I have MASSIVE and HUGE goals in life.

26) You’re all bark, no bite. I DON'T BARK. I BITE.

27) I’m a great multitasker.. at work, home, in the bedroom (keep that in mind *wink wink*)

28) One of the best ways to lose me quick is to try to make me say or do something I don’t want to do.

29) When I'm talking, give me your undivided attention. Else you don't deserve mine. Simple!!

30) I will give you all of me, and I want the same in return.

31) 98% of you wouldn’t be able to handle me *shrugs*

32) Keep me happy and interested, and you’ll have the most loyal partner for life.

33) I won’t stick around if I’m not interested. I can’t fake, sorry.

34) Hurt my family, I’ll hurt you.. Hurt me, I will kill you.. Even if at my own expense.

35) WARNING: Forget LCD or cocaine. I am the real deal. When I’m gone you WILL experience withdrawal symptoms.

36) I need someone who will support my ambition, not get in the way.

37) I could be your best friend or worst enemy. Choose which one you want.

38) When I love, I love HARD. That’s why I tend to love few. You have to be worth it.

39) I am difficult at times. I want to see you prove that you love me. Call me jealous, I don't care. It is just my way of showing I love you more than anything else.

40) I’m worth it. I promise <3

41) I don't like being bothered with questions. If you bother me, I'll ignore you.

42) Don’t play with me. I invented this game.

43) I like to get my way, but I like it even more when there is a challenge involved. The best way to turn me on - give me challenges.

44) I never show what I feel, NEVER !!

45) (We want) Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, all-consuming, can’t-live-without-each-other love. Everything else is fake.

46) When we are quiet, we aren’t being arrogant we are watching and thinking everything.

47) I can sometimes forgive, but I NEVER forget.

48) C0MPETETI0N ? BRING IT 0N..

49) I love people, but I don't mind hating them.

50) Darkness is a state of mind we know too well.

51) Don’t underestimate what I might know. I know everything about you! I know you more than you know yourself.

55) The only thing that can stop ME from anything I put my mind to, is ME!

56) I know I’m a bitch/ass.... Thanks for the compliment. Tell me something new.

57) I better be a bitch/ass.... than being a doormat.

58) (Scorpios) like to read people but never let anyone read their minds.

59) Scorpios don’t Trust easily. It has 2B Earned.

60) We are both hard and soft. What you see outside is not necessarily what you get.

61) Treat me good and I will treat you better, treat me bad and I will treat you worst.

62) How about…I say what I want to say and I do what I want to do.

63) I don’t like being in emotional limbo. It’s all or nothing. If you are afraid of emotions, go screw yourselves.

64) If we fall down seven times, we’ll get up eight times. You can never destroy a Scorpio completely.

65) I am not going to stick around if I see you flirting with someone else. Flirting is my birth right, not yours.

66) If I love you, I can be completely into you. But if you do something I really dislike, we’re done, YOU killed it. I don't know who you are anymore.

67) Once I see that other side of you, it will never be the same, I won’t forget

68) It takes a lot to hurt me but fck… when I do hurt, it hurts SO bad.

69) I’m super quiet when I’m upset. Nothing you do or say will get me to smile or react. Leave me alone. When I feel better, I will come out and make you laugh.

70) When I love someone I make them the center of my world, I put them above all others.

71) I don’t want to share you. You are mine.

72) Don’t tell me what to do. If you do, I’ll most likely do the opposite.

73) I’m stubborn. Once I’ve made up my mind there’s really nothing you could do. I’ll respect your effort though.

74) I’m not impressed when you brag about superficial things. Don’t throw yourself at me, it’s tacky.

75) I don’t PLAY hard to get, I AM hard to get! You want me? Prove your worth.

76) If I were to tell you what it takes to get me, I’d have to kill you.

77) I like that subtle sex appeal and confidence. Nothing over the top. Don’t try too hard.

78) Lie to me and you’ll get the blank stare *_*

79) Sometimes I’ll pretend I don’t know something, to see if you’ll admit to it or bring it up

80) I’m not afraid of you, you, or YOU! Try me, I DARE you.

81) If I don’t know you or don’t like you, you don’t exist. Don’t flatter yourself thinking that you cross my mind.

82) I could cut you out of my life in a split second if you cross me. I may love you, but I can instantly drop you.

83) Yea I’m a sexual person, it doesn't mean that I’ll just sleep around with everyone.

84) It takes more than good looks to get me, I’m far from shallow.

85) If I’m good to you, don’t take my kindness for weakness. That can change QUICKLY

86) My mood can change in the blink of an eye. Be ready.

87) It’s hard to capture my interest, and hard to keep my interest.. but once you have it, you have it all.

88) Seducing… it comes natural to me.

97) I could get pretty ruthless when I’m mad :/ Nothing is off-limits

So, here you go. I am most of them if not all. Now you don't have an excuse not to understand me. But yeah, you will still never understand me completely :) Mind you!! As I said earlier, these are just our generic characteristics. Each and everyone of us are different and unique. Which one of these characteristics apply to me? That is for you to find out. I am a Scorpio dammit!! I don't give out my secrets :)

And my fellow Scorpios, be proud of what you are :)

Mystery of the Nazca lines

After a long lazy sleep, I wake up again. I know that it has been almost a year since I posted anything on this blog. But yeah, as you may have assumed, sometimes, life takes over and some of our interests and passions take a back seat. Nonetheless, here I am, posting this again. A couple of posts ago, I had told you that there are evidences suggesting the existence of highly advanced civilizations earlier than 5000 BC.

Although some of them don’t appear to be direct evidences and rather appear as mysteries, solving these mysteries automatically brings you to a conclusion of existence of things beyond what was taken to be granted. Most of these don’t require any rocket science to prove the existence. All they require is the use of common sense and simple logic. Unfortunately, common sense is not all that common in the age of academic PhDs, is it?



The Nazca lines in Peru are some things which fall into this category. Naturally, people who hate their PhDs and their hand written text books to be challenged stick to their guns saying that these lines are nothing but drawings drawn by the early natives to kill their time. My question is, “are you serious”? Let us first examine the location of these Nazca lines and then the drawings or the geoglyphs themselves.

The Nazca lines, as most of you may know, are geoglyphs present in the Nazca desert in Peru. For safety sake and to give a bit of credit to the scholars, these geoglyphs are believed to be created somewhere between 400 and 650 AD by the people of the Nazca culture. Now let us look at the terrain. Look above where I said Nazca desert. That means there is absolutely no vegetation. Moreover, studies and research show that Nazca desert had no history, whatsoever of vegetation for thousands of years. This means that, there are neither trees nor any source of water for kilometres. This naturally implies the impossibility of humans to survive in that desert.



Now, let us look at the geoglyphs themselves. There are about 300 figures in this desert in the form of birds, animals, insects and even human beings. These are made of straight lines and geometric shapes. They stretch for kilometres together (for almost up to 80 kms). So, what is weird about that? If you look at these figures from the ground, they look just like straight lines and some random haphazard lines. When you view them from the air, this is when they actually look like figures. So, if someone had to draw these figures for kilometres together, someone should have directed them from the air. Sounds crazy, doesn’t it? I mean, who could possibly imagine an aeroplane in the period 400 – 600 AD?

But again, how logical or sensible is it to say that tribal people with no help from anyone, without food and water and no human habitable conditions would leave everything behind to come and draw figures which stretch over kilometres? Wouldn’t it take hundreds of years without proper food and water and no geometrical instruments and no map to draw these geoglyphs in a desert? Who in their right mind would come to a desert just to pursue a hobby of drawing? And how could these tribal people, without any external help draw massive geometrically perfect drawings which can be viewed only from air? Who taught them to create such impeccable piece of art?

Again, let us assume for a moment that the indigenous tribal people did draw these massive geoglyphs. The question is why? There must be a purpose, right? Some scholars and academic experts argue that they were for the purpose of crop harvesting. Crop harvesting? In a desert? Am I missing some sense here? Another argument is that they drew these geoglyphs to remember their gods. Alright, this seems agreeable. But wait!! It is not over yet. Who were these gods whom these natives feared, loved and respected so much that they took so much effort for centuries to draw these geoglyphs?

It doesn’t end at the geoglyphs. If you take a look at any picture taken from the sky of the desert, you will also witness massive aircraft runway strip-like plains in the desert. Again, aircraft runway strips in a desert? What are they doing there? Scholars are reluctant to accept them as runway strips. But, take a look at a photo and you decide what they look like. I take here, the liberty of assuming that these gods must have been really important for these indigenous people. And they must have been highly technically advanced. They must have given these people something which these people became indebted to.



Maybe, they taught them agriculture, animal farming and harvesting? And maybe something more? How about the art of drawing and using geometry for these drawings? And maybe they also had sufficient technology to guide these people from the skies? Even if they didn’t flying, how about a map and the knowledge of using a map? Sounds absurd and farfetched? Not more absurd than the claims made by the academics about people drawing geometrically perfect geoglyphs for fun in a desert just because they didn’t have any other work to do.. And with no guidance from anyone else.

So, with all these questions and mysteries staring us in the eye, wouldn’t be a possible theory to state that there must have been indeed a civilization in the distant past which must have been technically advanced?

Incas, Mexico and India- A god connection??

After a long lazy break, I have decided to post a new topic on this blog. In the previous post I had promised that I would be posting some more evidences which may suggest the existence of a previous unknown and advanced civilization on Earth. This post is however a small deviation from that. I will make a sincere attempt to post it as early as possible (hopefully I won't be too lazy this time).

So what is this post about?? I just had a major revelation yesterday when I was talking to my cousin during the evening. I yet need to verify this theory. However, here it is. It all started this way. I was visiting my cousin for the past two days for the weekend. I had asked him few very important questions about a couple of rituals followed by us Brahmins, some time ago. I happened to rekindle his interest regarding those questions yesterday.

During the conversation, I also asked him whether he knew if there existed any relation at all between the Indians and the Mayans/Incas in the distant past. I had this question in my mind for quite some time. I had heard about some ancient Indian scriptures where the Hindu gods had divine architects who were excellent in their art and constructions. These divine builders were called the "Mayas". Though my cousin himself accepted that he is a complete novice when it comes to most religious rituals and traditions, I must say that he is a pious follower and a religious Brahmin who has a deep interest in studying the religious texts.

So, during the discussion I found a very important piece of information my cousin gave regarding this link between Indians and the Incas. If what he said can somehow be proven, then the Indians indeed did have an extraordinary hand in shaping the South Americans future. In fact it so happens that they were the gods of the South/Central American people.

The connection is found in the Inca civilization where their primary god/teacher is Viracocha and his followers called the Viracochas. As we know, Inca mythology has that these Viracochas came from a distant land on boats. My cousin told me that this was none other than the mythological character known as "Virochana" and his followers in India. According to Indian mythology, King Virochana was the son of the great Prahlada(of the Narasimhavatara), the devotee of Vishnu, and father of Bali (of the story of Vamana), also a devotee of Vishnu. In some distant past (probably the Krita yuga), Virochana and his followers may have explored the far land of the Incas as they travelled on boats.

The festival of Onam celebrated in India may have a special connection in this regard. Festivals are celebrated all over India to mark the return of the great demon king Bali (grandson of Prahlada). However in Kerala, the festival Onam (which is celebrated in relation to Bali) has a special ritual - the boat race. These boats are small and long canoes which need to be manned by many oarsmen. These may have been very much similar to the boats mentioned in the Incas mythology. Kerala is specifically a state which attaches significance to the return of Bali.

The connection between ancient India and South American civilizations does not end here. Authors such as Dr. Radhakrishnan, Chaman Lal and Vrndavan Parker have argued with evidence that the first Mexicans were Indians and the great ancient Mexican engineering marvels were built before 15000 BC. Not only that, books such as "Hindu America" and others argue that many of the present day names of cities in Latin America are the corruption of Hindu names. For example, Venezuelan capital Bogota was once "Bhogavati", Guatemala was "Goutamalaya", Soorinama was "Sooryanama". He also argues of the impact of the Vedic people on the South Americans. More information can be obtained here http://vedicempire.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=26

This may indeed by a very weak link. As I said, this needs to be verified and to be proved. Nonetheless, this may be an evidence that ancient scriptures are not just cock and bull stories, not mere myths but actual historical accounts.
