all hands to the bottle ( see inside )
the weekend holds promise. and spirits. a friend will turn up.
and the glass shall re-appear.
evenings with Kishore Kumar and/or Rafi. and a few couplets from
Ghalib.a touch of PJs and some lime.
and whiffs of smoke over evening chai. absolute timepass.
is there a better thing in this world ?
quote ( mine )
man is born free, but everywhere he is among monkeys
quote ( movie )
everything is a copy of a copy of a copy
quote ( copied from Zen quotes from Stephen Wright )
on the other hand, we've other fingers
quote ( another Zen one )
A Zen master once said to me, "Do the opposite of whatever I tell you." So I didn't.

note: pleez do not suggest exxxpeennnsive books... i mite have to go begging soon...
thats real funny stuff, dude. thanx for startin my day off with a laff! :)
hey EnJay :[ ;) pardon pretentious tone ]
since me no Zen master, I can't profess to be knowledgeable on what consitutes a 'good zen book'.I can only reveal the path I took ..
- to begin with, the chapter on Zen buddhism in
Fritjoff Capra's "The Tao of Physics". puts
things in a nutshell.
- this site here
http://www.serve.com/cmtan/buddhism/Lighter/
- some books I want to read, but have
not been able to
-- "Zen Flesh,Zen Bones"
-- works by a guy called D.T Suzuki (
supposed to be a Super Zen Guy )
- "Zen and the Art of Motorcylce Maintenance"
they say , is about Zen because it does not
refer to Zen directly in anyway
_sinister chuckle_ soft copy chahiye to bolo
medam
Note : Zen literature cherishes the Void and emptiness, of mind and nature.confuses me all the time.
Enjay : and oh yeah, I forgot the statutory warning. This stuff, like Ayn Rand, is observed
to produce weird behaviour in friends and
associates.
kuts : you're welcome !!
Hehe.. read some stuff on the site...
And sirji, soft copies toh are hamesha welcome, but Zen and the art.... and Ayn Rands are not readable on the comp. If you have other readable stuff, mail across to enjaytops@gmail.com...
Read this. Salinger (Seymour Glass):
"I answered that it seemed to me that the war might go on forever, and that I was only certain that if peace ever came again I would like to be a dead cat. Mrs Fedder thought I was cracking a joke of some kind. A sophisticated joke. She thinks I'm very sophisticated, according to Muriel. She thought any deadly-serious comment was the sort of joke one ought to acknowledge with a light, musical laugh. When she laughed, I suppose it distracted me a little, and I forgot to explain to her. I told Muriel tonight that in Zen Buddhism a master was once asked what was the most valuable thing in the world, and the master answered that a dead cat was, because no one could put a price on it."
Did you kknow that Salinger was majorly into reading the Vedas, about Zen and such like? Ah... Salinger...
