The Matrix Revolution


I have to write this down. It's bursting inside me and I can not hold it inside anymore.
I'm breaking the pattern, I'm getting out of the system.
The 'agents' cannot fool me anymore, the code is broken, and I see that they are just clones of the same manipulative force.
I always thought one could never get out. But that was before Neo came into the picture. Neo never falters, he never gives up, he believes in purity...not because he is the Chosen One, but becaus he believes he is the Chosen One. And belief can move mountains.
So when I fear to be trapped and die like Trinity, Neo says he can save me. Not because he's a product of Amercan sci-fi cinema.
But only because as he says, "Honey, I'm a hacker. I know how to break into any system."
And Trinity believes he can....

Belief can move mountains - so can earthquakes methinks, maybe belief creates earthquakes as well..

Incidently Neo is an anagram of ONE...for some reason I've always felt there is a religious conspiracy theory in this whole Matrix trilogy

Maddy: I know Neo means new :)but new can also mean a revival of the dead, not necessarily, something utterly different...

For most of the first one of the trilogy I got a feeling that this was from the universal body of knowledge that was prevalent before organized religion came into being and along with that they have picked up philosophies from Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism....well packed into a movie with the context of the future.

the problem with the matrix according to me is the unquestioning belief it places in the "one"... why must we create more and more gods? doesn't this world have enough of em already?

Blow: One is a very powerful number, and belief in the 'one' makes it easier to blame someone completely if things go wrong...gods are never enough...the world loves a hero...it destroys the fear of mortality...

exactly.. even if i were to believe in the "one"... the world has created so many ultimate singularities that it would be difficult to believe in just "one"

however, I'd pick a hero over a god any day. unfortunately in the matrix that line blurs quite a bit. and the worst bit is, it seems to blur intentionally and fully aware of it's folly.

For Trinity: she needs not fear the pedestal. Neo will be there to catch her should she fall....His word is his bond. Promises are for lesser souls who are unable, or willing, to keep their word

Hero or a God? Easy. Both are revered. It is the hero who never has any choice.

Regarding Neo: the hacker relies on trust through authentication. It is 'trust' that gives him 'root' and makes him King. He probes the matrix looking for and assessing that trust and in return it's acknowledgement...the syn/ack...binary and pure. A secret dance out of view. Where the two become the "one". Without it there can be no penetration of the matrix. He is simply left locked out...behind the firewalls ....so close...staring out across the chasms at the gateway of despair

Then Now It's finally over, my turbulent 20s. I don't think anyone would be so happy to turn 30, but I am. Finally! It's amazing how everyone believes that the teenage years are the most difficult. They are not. It's the 20s, that time of uncertainty and changes, that is. No one warns you about it, and most people just go around questioning their identities, their goals and their feelings during this time, and getting depressed or drugged out over it. Luckily for me, my sister, three years ahead of me, put down the warning sign. 'It's going to be very difficult, but after 27-28, it'll get easier." I have some young friends who are in that group now, and I try to be patient with them, tell them it's okay to feel confused, it's okay to not know what you want... It was difficult. I don't know how many times I have redefined who I was in the last ten years. I went from being a virgin to a wife to a divorcee by 25; and from a student to a journa

The Story of K (contd.)

-
K is perfect for me. The only problem is, he is imaginary. I made him up, hoping to visualise my fantasies into reality. In the process, I may have just done something that I myself am not aware of. Besides, it's always safer not to meddle with the powers of wish fulfilment. And I unknowingly, may have just done that...

Bringing It Back

The simplest things in life are the ones that need to be cherished...like memories..like mothers...It's my Mom's birthday at the end of this month, and it comes once in four years. I always wanted to buy her diamonds, but my financial condition is so bad that I can't buy her anything at all. So I've decided to write her a letter, a long one...to tell her how muchI was always in awe of her as a child. She, the most beautiful, most kindest mother that one could have. Her food was always better than anyone else's, so was her style and her grace. My friends in school always looked in envy at my gorgeous mother with her short hair and sexy frocks. They begged to exchange tiffins with me. So I gave up three layered sandwiches and au gratin for someone's poha or chakli. She got us flowers everyday, and books from her office library which got us raps from Papa because they were read at the dinner table, also left in loos. I always say I owe who I am to a perfect mother
