The Real Fiction

All that we experience, our perceptions – sights & insights – seem like a surreal mix of fact and fantasy. There are no lines dividing anything anywhere & existence rides upon interpretations.

Combating corruption

The chemistry of simplicity

Chemistry tells us that every complex molecule is made up of simple elements… life follows the same path. Yet many of us keep jumping into pools of complexity and spend their lives gasping!

Success all around

There is nothing called failure. ‘SUCCESS’ is the only valid word… it has the option, though, of being prefixed by terrible, terrifying, fantastic, super, edible, licked — the possibilities are numerous.

Influence of experiments

“Experiments tend to get too powerfully influential on your life if allowed to exist without restraint.” Arvind Passey 14 December 2010

Only a few discover truth

“We’re all walking in the dark… always. Once in a while we tend to stumble on to something new or creative… most of us kick it aside and walk on. Only a few bend down to pick it up and it is these who enter the history books.” Arvind Passey 05 December 2010

Inventing future

My FB cookie prediction for today: “The sure way to predict your future is to invent it.” My reply: “Cookie, you’re promoting fiction! (Though when PR people like Radia invent lies, they make it to the front pages in Indian newspapers. ” Arvind Passey 05 December 2010
