My Experiments with ZEN!

All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead , is purely coincidental.

I share with you a set of Four Unrelated stories, Inspired out of my real life which made me discover ZEN in my life.

1. Ok so there are these two guys sittin jobless over a Sunday morning hangover

Bonley Rojaan Shamel : Dude! Guess what I found out. This Queen Band wala Freddie mercury na, He is actually of Indian Origin. And guess what his real name is Farookh Balsara!! Fuck na!!!

Alex Palliveedan : Shut the FUCK up Bitch and do exactly like what I say. Take three glasses of Rice (Kerala RICE!!!) put it in cooker with double the water. And call me when the third whistle blows!!

“And thy Mortal was enlightened”

ZEN : From the pine tree, learn of the Pine tree, and from the Bamboo, learn of the Bamboo.

2.Ok so there are these two guys roamin through Alandur Market in search of Cigarette and suddenly one big black ugly dog jumps out of nowhere

Alex Palliveedan : Shit, Aliya ( Malayalam equivalent for Macha / Yaar / Dude), That dog is so gonna Bite Me!!!!!

Banker George Penn : Aliya for once in your life stop this paranoia, You are not that dog, How do you know whether its gonna bite you or not???

Alex Palliveedan : Aliya, You are not Me, How do you know that whether I know or don’t know that the dog is gonna bite me or not .???

“And thy Mortal was enlightened”

ZEN : The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.

3.Ok so there were these two guys who got awakened from sleep at midnight and were starin at eachother.

Sharanth Rajaa Gopal : Macha I just dreamt that I am a Platypus. In my dream I had no awarness of my individuality and existence. I was just a yellow colored Platypus.

And suddenly now when I woke up and am sittin here like a person once again; I can’t figure out whether I am a guy who dreamt about being a Platypus or a Platypus who have dreams about being a man.

What could be the Zen in this Aliya (Malayalam equivalent for Macha / Yaar / Dude / Bro),

Alex Palliveedan : Happens to me too. Most of the times when I am lying next to you and sleepin. I have dreams of being a Terrorist trapped in the Heavy shell’ed and cluster bombed Tora Bora bunkers in Afghanistan. You know what’s the Zen of that.

Sharanth Rajaa Gopal: No Aliya? What could be the Zen in that?

Alex Palliveedan : My friend , Zen of that particular dream is that , You snore like a Fuckin Kuwait War !!!

Now shut the fuck up and let me sleep!!!

“And thy Mortal was enlightened”

ZEN : “Zen is not some kind of excitement but concentration on our usual everyday routine.”

4.

Drug trafficking from Colombia gets really hot during the summers, The Puerto Ricans, African Americans, The Chinese everyone other than accountants and stock brokers are behind buying and selling of Drugs during this season.

I don’t sell in summers!! I sell when no one sells! That’s how I stay D King! I remember givin lectures to the bootleggers who used to work under me that “We don’t sell drugs! We sell dreams”. All of them except a few are Big Bosses in various part of the country. But none as big as me.

You know why?? Cuz I don’t sell when everyone sell!

So during the busy summer season. I take my off go to my private island castle in Bahamas and stay outta the crowd, with just a few of my Body Guards, Mistress’s and 12 of My personal cooks and my Masseuse.

So there I am on one lazy Sunday afternoon resting in my private Island beach when somebody taps me from behind and asks.

(Mathew Cyriac ) “Da remember last time when you were taken to hospital and you had to wear that red color Jockey of Mine ??? Well you still haven’t paid for it!!!”

FUCKIN REALITY!!!!!!!

“And thy Immortal was enlightened”

ZEN : Before one studies Zen, mountains are mountains and waters are waters;
after a first glimpse into the truth of Zen, mountains are no longer mountains
and waters are no longer waters;
after enlightenment, mountains are once again mountains and waters once again waters.
