About Me

Hi, this is somebody who has taken the quieter by-lane to be happy. The hustle and bustle of the big, booming main street was too intimidating. Passing through the quieter by-lane I intend to reach a solitary path, laid out just for me, to reach my destiny, to be happy primarily, and enjoy the fruits of being happy. (www.sandeepdahiya.com)

Dostoevsky's Gambler

Conceptualized set of sins and vices! Too hypothetical concepts to tame the basic instincts in humans! A vice is not a vice everywhere. A so called 'vice' with larger motivation loses its dark shades. Without a supportive chorus in the background it again becomes a loathsome act in abstract. But there is hardly anything in total abstractness, except in pages of books and brains revising these for oneupmanship to win a point. Reality is too muddled up. There is hardly any vice that goes totally unjustified. Read Dostoevsky's Gambler. It treats gambling as a viceful and then not viceful art driven by pure psychosis of a helpless heart mad after chancy windfalls of win and even loss and even beyond.
