OUROBOROS The ancient symbol of Infinity

Approx 1600 yrs BC, King Tut,s tomb in Egypt revealed many ancient symbols and hieroglyphs , one being an enigmatic symbol of a serpent biting its own tail. Later the Greek imported it and named Ouroboros meaning tail eating serpent.
I was only interested only for Victor Hugo in one of his Time winning Literature used its reference.
Subsequently it was also found  in some forms found in Hindu myth ( Dancing Lord Shiva ).
in the endeavor of deciphering the symbol sages and wise men began to relate the symbol as the ancient perception of Infinity, Cycle of natural birth from death, Immortality of life or Soul and a vague idea of

Immortal Infinite Absolute God.
The Alchemy the used the symbol in the Lab to transcend the cycle of life and death and to conquer death from an still unfound fanciful grotesque  Enigmatic Philosophers stone.
Here a serpent devouring its own tail thus rebirthing itself , with the tail though invisible still persists and the natural cycle goes on.
Even in Hindu myth Lord Shiva  with a snake in one hand, snake being the symbol of regeneration ,cosmic dances to destroy the universe allowing Lord Brahma beginning the reconstruction .

And in the Holy Quran , Allah says , its He who is the beginning , He is the End , He is the Visible , He is the Invisible and He is all powerful over every thing else.

Happy man

one of my older servants,a man of sixty is missing for almost  two weeks, at length found to be reveling with his friends in  a marathon  game of cards in his native area.It is easily understood that his mobile which is rather more dilapidated than himself ,with bushy unclean hair,grey white spiky beard , shabby attire and a puffing lips, was forced to go into sleep for this period.He sustained himself through  his almost hibernating period with bread and cheap tobacco leaves and free tube well water , ultimately discovered to his utter annoyance unceremoniously by his wife,a noisy woman with no landed property of the family,  and his smart new entry college going son and with no strange ,relevant consequence,comme il faut (appropriate to his status --French ),
   
                 this episodic orgy happens a couple of time a year for the last , say 20 yrs.
This poor, perpetually happy , no worry   , a loftily honest fellow in worldly and monetary matters ,though hardly visiting the mosque, always maintain a care free visage, more haughty and gay than sad and worrisome needing no sleep pill nor antihypertensive at night for a sound sleep.

He who cant be contented with  what he has will never be contented after getting  what he likes to have, 
Socrates.

thought block

Scores of optical illusion hundreds of refraction of impulses,hundreds of varying judgement and hundreds of aberration about which our thoughts oscillate sometime mad sometimes idiotic.
