Conscious - Unconscious

The part of the mind which gives rise to a collection of mental phenomena that manifest in a person’s mind but which the person is not aware of at the time of their occurrence is known as the unconscious mind, says Sigmund Freud who first studied it. To a layman, it is nothing but something which makes you do things which you can’t define.

Why do we like certain things and why do we dislike certain others, can we really define? Why at times, just when you have met a person, without even knowing him, you have a feeling of like or dislike.

Some of the most inner desires are kept in our unconscious minds, some of our fears which do not exist in conscious minds but which makes us feel weak or really scared without really making us know the reason, is nothing but our subconscious mind.

Say, you have just started a new relationship with a woman he met at school. While talking to her one afternoon, he accidentally calls her by his ex-girlfriend’s name.

How would you explain this mistake? Many of us might blame the slip on distraction or describe it as a simple accident. However, a psychoanalytic theorist might tell you that this is much more than a random accident. The psychoanalytic view holds that there are inner forces outside of your awareness that are directing your behavior. For example, a psychoanalyst might say that you misspoke due to unresolved feelings for his ex or perhaps because of misgivings about his new relationship.

The founder of psychoanalytic theory was Sigmund Freud. While his theories were considered shocking at the time and continue to create debate and controversy, his work had a profound influence on a number of disciplines, including psychology, sociology, anthropology, literature, and art.

According to Freud, the mind can be divided into two main parts:

1.The conscious mind includes everything that we are aware of. This is the aspect of our mental processing that we can think and talk about rationally. A part of this includes our memory, which is not always part of consciousness but can be retrieved easily at any time and brought into our awareness. Freud called this ordinary memory the preconscious.

2.The unconscious mind is a reservoir of feelings, thoughts, urges, and memories that outside of our conscious awareness. Most of the contents of the unconscious are unacceptable or unpleasant, such as feelings of pain, anxiety, or conflict. According to Freud, the unconscious continues to influence our behavior and experience, even though we are unaware of these underlying influences.

There are only a certain things you can define in your lives, and rest all goes undefined. Those undefined are a part of pure unconscious mind. Somethings which makes you inseparable from it.

I wonder, and dream

The night comes and I start to think.
I wonder, and dream.
I see my life, I see my errors
I see my hatred, I see myself.

The Darkness brings sadness,
It brings despair. I see no point.
I think about the things I wish I'd done.
I think how my life could have been.

"Har pal jaata hai zindagi se,
kyun naa jee lein khushi se , oh o oh..!!

Rishta hai mera bandagi se,
kehta hun har kisi se.e..ee.e, toh sunoh

Its summertime and rise,
Its summetime and rolls..

Kisne hai jaana kal kya hoga zindagani mein
Kya kya judega pal jo beeta is kahani mein

Dil ki sunta hoon, khush rehta hoon
Man hi man yeh kehta hoon, Toh sunoh

Its summertime and rise,
Its summertime and rolls

A morning dance, because its the summertime
I’ll take my chance, because the world is all mine
I need romance, on the sunny stroke

Its summertime and rocks
Its summertime and rolls

........Enjoyable music.....

We got a good thing going, just take it from me,
Lets stretch this moment, to infinity,
Without any grand plans, without any goals….

Because,
Its summertime, and rocks
Its summetime, and rolls

Kisko bataoon mere dil mein kya kya hota hain,
Mein jhoomo gaawoon gham se tho mera samjautha hain

Because,
Its summertime, and rise
Its summertime, and rolls

A morning dance, because its the summertime
I’ll take my chance, because the world is all mine
I need romance, on the sunny stroke
Because,
Its summertime and rocks
Its summertime and rolls

Will you take a little trip through peasely pots and traffic lights that glow
An winters wonderland with sand instead of snow
This little playground is a doctor for my soul

Because,
Its summertime and rocks
Its summertime and rolls

A morning dance, because its the summertime
I’ll take my chance, because the world is all mine
I need romance, on the sunny stroke


Because,
Its summertime and rocks
Its summertime and rolls


A morning dance, because it is the summertime
I’ll take my chance, because the world is all mine
I need romance, on the sunny stroke

Yeh joh lamhe pyar ke hain,
yehi zindagi hamari
Isme joh pyar miley bas,
yahi zindagi hai hamari..

Yeh joh lamhe pyar ke hain,
yehi zindagi hamari
Isme joh pyar miley bas,
yahi zindagi hai hamari..

Yeh joh lamhe pyar ke hain,
yehi zindagi hamari
Isme joh pyar miley bas,
yahi zindagi hai hamari..

When I come to think about the recent happenings around, not just here, rather in the whole world, many questions arose, finding the answers to which is really not an easy task. Leave alone the search for answers about the world, most of us tend to undermine the questions of our own life and really unable to find even a clue to most of them.

One such question, or for that matter, the one that comes to most of us at some or the other point in our lives is “Instability”. This Instability pertains to many aspects of life, be it, social, professional, personal or any other.

If one really works his ass off in search to find out the real reason behind such or any other instability one faces, they would get confusion and nothing else, in return.

Taking an example of relational instability; how many times you have come to know about a hint of something going on in someone’s life, close to you. Your mind starts wandering; looking for the myriad possibilities, but ends up getting confused and instability in the relation arise.

But looking at it, one reason that we get to know is the absence/lack of information. Yes, most of us will agree that the strongest reason for the instability of human in various facets of their lives is the absence/lack of information. When we really are unable to understand what is happening around and decoding it to a single aspect, seems impossible which leads to instability and confusion happens.

Now this is not where the story ends. Confusion still continues, as only the lack of information doesn’t cause this instability, rather there are other aspects which lead to it.

How many times did it happen with you that you have gone for shopping and you have liked something in the first look, but didn’t buy, to look for something else, something better and then end up buying nothing at all? What do you think did cause that instability, on the thing that you liked at first? Any clues?

Even a small amount of analytical analysis will tell you, that the availability of excess information also causes this instability. For more and more things that you come to know, it again leads to a point where your mind is unable to solve the web thus formed, and enters a state of instability.

So an instability and confusion is caused both by the absence/lack and excess of information.

Now my next question is; what is the right amount of information which must be provided for the proper understanding of the other being and for it to behave in a desired manner. This answer is again a subjective and leading to it is a no path that one could yet find out. And there really exists nothing more than a thin line between the lack and the excess of information, which when crossed becomes incomprehensible to the other person.

Standing at a cross road, I sometimes believe, why is there so much confusion and what do I really need to get pass through, and reach a state of Nirvana. I could find no answers but could find many things which let me forget the question.

Facing an Alter-Ego




How do you really feel when, someone like you is standing just in front you? Does that give you a feeling of elation or instead of a depression? To reach up to such a decision so quickly I believe is not an easy task, and rather depends upon lot factors, including who you really are and what you really show yourself to be.

Before anything else, first question that comes to my mind is whether you are really able to judge the other person or not, or you are just entangled within the deception net that the other person has thrown. In case of such a possibility, the very first point of taking someone as your alter-ego falters.

Analysis of the alter-ego comes at a stage quite after that, when the person in question has a real judgment power and an understanding of the other person is true to the best of his knowledge. Then and there, two major calculations that came into being are of elation or of depression. The two depends on the very simple fact that how much you love and believe in yourself, an absence of which is going to create a complete incoherence and hence the feeling of depression. It also clears out the fact that if you don’t consider your own deeds to be right, and your own shortcomings push you down, then nothing in this world is going to make you love your alter-ego, and a feeling of elation of finding one is impossible.


But if you believe in the part which is good about you, and have the clear understanding of your own capabilities, then you are going to look for the same in the other person. Everyone is so clear of their own needs and so nothing in this world is going to make them feel that they don’t know this person and satisfying their needs is not a difficult task, but just what they need is the power to come out of their shell and understand that satisfying the others ego is what needs to be done, and thence do it. An ego plays a major barricade in this case and thus should be kept aside, come what may. Elation simply follows this simple rule and nothing would stop you to really love the person.

A fear also erupts in the third case, when you know your own ugly face that you have hidden from the world, and on finding an alter-ego, you just hate them for they reminds you of the wicked soul that you yourself are.

Confused, on what is being just what said? That’s what really happens, when you face an alter-ego and can’t stay aloof, but to know them and to face the bitter truth that what you have been thinking is for your own self, someone right there has the same feeling.
