random thoughts after the pirated '6th Sense' DVD malfunction

Do I believe in sixth sense, do I not believe in it?... actually that’s not the right way to put forward my query; it should be rather put forth as: should I or should I not??

I don’t know…..consider myself to be beyond the ape-brained creatures that still inhabit my land. Superstition, evil, (G)od, totems mean nothing to me & yet….

There are instances you can associate in the lingo of science as ‘mere coincidence’ that take place day-in & day-out in my life. That I am even writing about such occurrences seems as an act of defiance against the established (yet unproven order). The line I am treading is the line that demarcates the boundaries between myth & sci-fi.

I write for myself & for many of us who perhaps never even remember such random acts of coincidences. And if we do, we just let them pass with a smile (or is it the fear of getting into something which is way beyond out ‘popular’ imagination?).

You sit on the naked terrace of your house dangling your feet, smoking away your ‘journey called life’ & suddenly this random fear runs down your spine – if there is an earthquake what will happen. You simply get back to the comfort of your slightly uncomfortable bed to wake up in the morning and find that a disastrous earthquake rocked your country killing 1000s you never knew…..jus 4hrs after your random thought.

Okay that was a coincidence and so will be a long lost close friend who had disappeared a decade back leaving back only his memories and no contact details calling back one day suddenly only when you had been thinking about him. That you remembered him even before (say 30 days in a yr) and on those occasions during the last 10yrs he had not called up is a valid point. But that he had to call me up only on that 1/30 days of a 365 day yr makes me think.

These are 1-off random incidents that keep happening in our life, without reason, sans any logic. Will these remain illusive as our dreams of inter-space travel, enigmatic as the existence of Satan, or just pure unanswered random thoughts about our existence.

I don’t know for sure…
