where are we heading?

2010-08-31T03:16:00.000-07:00

for some days now serious thoughts are passing through my head.where are we heading? we are so blind to see the happenings around us.either we close our eyes voluntarily or we are not in a position to see the things .progress of a country is understood by the quality of people, citizen who live here , the direction is decided by the collective intelligence of the citizens .according to me, a country is heading in a downhill direction if its citizens are able to transgress the social laws and regulations of the state with ease and without any feeling of guilt or fear of the state.

this is what is happening right now in india, the country where values and virtues were given importance over the rest of the things.one may ask "common yaar..why so serious ..it has happend in the past " ,ya certainly i dont deny that it has happened in the past .there was always a sect in our society which has multiple faces ,who transgressed the laws then.but never they were in the mainstream of the society.

there are politicians ,officers ,industrial bigwigs, eminent public faces involved and caught in various scams,corruptions etc during all the times.but the common man always feared law, social status and looked at these things with speculation only.this is not the case now.in tamilnadu nearly 30 students have been caught by the university for allegedly forging the marksheet and correcting the scores.these people are not any political bigwigs,industrialists,officers but common people like us. the selfishness and self centerdness is alarming.the people are not worried about others, nor they do have the guilt that they are crossing the limit and grabbing an opportunity which should go rightfully to others.it is natural for the parents to wish that there kids get to have good careers, but not at the cost of others.who gave this kind of guts to them? the feeling that they can get along. a sense of carelessness, who is responsible?

so the people have come to this attitude , we can do anything for the sake of our life,we can do nothing but to pray to god to give us strength,courage and conviction in our minds to lead a peaceful life in this world

My experiences with truth-1

2010-08-29T20:24:00.001-07:00

I am trying to scrutinize retrospectively from here , it might be a little biographical , this is a journey within myself and trying to explore my understanding of life.a kind of deconstruction of what i am today.hope someday it might be useful for someone or even myself.the events will not be chronological (and not even logical sometimes!!).

there are a lot of thoughts, incidents which are popping in my mind right now.the reason could be i met the person yesterday who forgave me for my first blemish for the first time , shanthi miss .again the incident may be a silly ' growing up' from the reader's perspective ,but it is indeed one great event that has kept me in track.now when i think retrospectively if i could have got a corporal punishment at that stage for my act , may be i would have not been what i am today(what is that act? well will tell eventually:)).this is one of my school day childhood memories i always recall.

i was going to school, a school which carries a great tradition in our area, a school with high reputation of bringing out so many doctors and engineers every year, muthiah alagappa matriculation higher secondary school, in a small village -kotaiyur which has huge houses in the heartland of chettinad .this is the school were i studied or literally spent my hours,living there with the desks,the bell, the ground,the bus for the 14 years ,right from my kg till i completed my higher secondary education.

unlike many kids who cry and moan on the first day of schooling ,i was told from my mom that i was different .it was my mom who cried on sending me to school on the first day and i consoled her :) our house was in an area called subramaniapuram, a neat locale with wide roads . opposite to our house there was a school bus stop, known as correspondent stop (named so because our school corespondent's house was near by).i was told from my mom that as a kid ,everyday i would come out of my home and wait for the school bus and bade farewll to all the uniformed noble souls who carry more burden than the jesus christ himself and then only go back inside home.in weekends alas it will be hard to convince me as i would be crying continuously to see the blue bus of my school.naturally i loved going to school, i thought that they all are going to school and having fun there.

then came the first day of schooling...

23.A true poet does not bother to be poetical. Nor does a nursery gardener scent his roses. An artist cannot speak about his art any more than a plant can discuss horticulture-paulo coelho

PURITY BY IGNORANCE TO PURITY BY INTELLIGENCE..

2010-02-25T22:18:00.000-08:00

If you think a little bit deeper on the lines of the topic. you could find that this is true. the beginning of life, the evolution of universe, evolution of human kind all could be understood like this. the so called starting point and the so called destination are one and the same. a step backward from were we start is the place were we want to reach. most, almost very few tread this immediate backward integration. the life is a circle, every process is a circle, and is endless. we start out a journey thinking of some destination, we face all the odds, travel through difficult times, and end up in the destination were it all started.!!so whats the difference? initially we are pure , untouched by any acts that is wordly, in the end again we are pure but this time we are aware that we are pure, this sums the differnce..this mere knowledge is bliss.the journey to eternity may take lives, but we all will be there one day.it may end in a day, the revealation may take years for a few, a life time for others, and many life times for most of us.on the way we will be confronting our own images, identities, beliefs, making us better prepared for facing the ultimate truth.

fello travellers..enjoy your travel!!! we are destined to reach.

CONQUERING FEAR!!

2010-02-11T00:11:00.000-08:00

The most important and biggest fear of human kind is the fear of fears and fear of death. when i think about fear, some thoughts came in my mind,
1.why are we fearing ?? the basic question
2.how do we fear?
3.how to overcome fear?
these fundamental questions need to be answered. first let us try to understand what fear is all about, fear is a sense of insecurity, imagining or assuming the effects of a particular act , and the damage it could inflict in physical, psychological and social levels. what if is the main question that spurs the feeling of fear. what if is an unique question that can be utilised in a positive manner , to bring a positive vibration by thinking in an optimistic manner, but this rarely happens, the tool of what if is mostly used to spur negative feelings of fear and doubts.what if i win a lottery is just a dream, and may give us a temporary euphoria.where as what if i loose my money or respect is a more serious thing, and it has its own psychological impact.
we fear because its our tendency, we have it in our genes, we have been exposed to too many turmoils in thousands and thosands of generation we have feared over nature, over uncertainity, over things and situations which we feel are out of control of us, sometimes we fear for imaginations. yes human kind has feared, yet faced the conflicts and has survived the odds, and always evolving towards something better . fear is like any other emotion of joy , love,anger, sex in humanbeings. when we understand ourselves, what we fear, and what makes us fear, you could always come up with such an anlysis. fear makes us panic, it makes us think, it makes us to act. the first reaction to fear is denial, even in presence of a perpetual danger, we wont want to believe that this is going to happen, and we try to tame our mind that this fear is imaginary. the next reaction for fear is escapism, now as we percieve the things a little bit closer, and understand the fact behind them, we put our maximum efforts to avoid confronting fear face to face. that gives us a temporary sense of wellbeing. the next reaction to fear is the actual situation, meeting your fear. as time passes, when you have crossed the situation , you could definitly know that its not as bad as you feared. the solution is simple, when you have some fear, think about the worst thing that can happen, and the impact it can have on you, then you could think of some measures to reduce the damage if it actually happens or you could learn to acept and keep yourself happy. the effect of fear produces more damage than the actual event could trigger.
i also believe that you could not conquer fear fully and definitly couldnt be 100% fearless (well we can pretend so). its not such a bad thing in life, infact sometimes these fears will help us to be a better person. for e.g the myth stories in india, where the god will punish every bad act of us has kept most indians in a path that wont harm others, lifting the moral values. its a myth that one could conquer his fear, first we need to understand and accept our fears, then we are a step closer to overcome that, we can find a mechanism , a thought process and surely could overcome the feeling of fear .
let us try to be a better person..the life is short to enjoy a plenty , we need not give a lot of time for these feelings of fear.

IDENTIES AND SPIRITUALITY

2010-02-07T00:45:00.000-08:00

A lot of thinking has been happening for some days now. some serious questions have popped out of mind, which needs to be answered. how far are we attached to our various identities, ?? we want to have an association with several objectives things / thoughts, we feel that we must be identified wuth that. infact i see that getting a prper identity is itself is one of the prime objectives of our life. we get a sense of purpose in creating an image for ourself, i can do this do that , but i cant do that etc etc.
i stumbled upon a thought that these identies which we create and feel proud of possesing may become an obstacle after a certain level. it becomes difficuilt for us to transcnd our own identities, associations, they start boosting our ego and even hampers the thinking process, that makes us prejudicial and judgemental, also we will fail to get some experiences.
the indian spiritual thoughts basically revolves arround loosing the identity and transcending above . we may associate with our native town/ village in our early ages, but when we grow up and go to places our minds get broadened and we tend to loose that identity then we may have an identity of caste, religion, language ultimately when we think and go beyond these are all reductionistic attitudes and keeps us restricted , inhibited.
even the national pride, is a kind of identity, we may become blind of the rest of the wonders of the world.
the next thing is male female identity, thats also keeps one or the other dominant, transcending all these basic identities, we need to cultivate an universal vision, a broader identity of human race or even broader as just a living being, or even broader as just a being in earth. i do beleieve that we may not be hampered , and a immense feeling of love will flow through our heart.
aggregating identity and loosing the same are part of human learning process.think about this.

PEOPLE AND POWER

2009-04-10T23:47:00.000-07:00

this is election time in india,when people tell me that democracy is the best form of the government were the lagaan is with the people and its people's choice and wish that determines and makes a difference. ideally speaking, ya democracy going by its definition of the people , for the people and by the people must respect the citizen, by its virtue of definition of democracy people are the rulers of the rulers, but does this really happen?? daily when i switch on the tv news channels, the news we see daily is some leader distributing money to his constituency people , or some politicos lashing and bashing at the opponents, that too in an unruly way, spreading hate, the behaviour of parties , partymen, and thier henchmen all are frustrating. i accept that democracy is the best machinery! but best when its proper at all the levels and perfection at various levels. democracy= opportunism , nothing more that that. in olden days we had monarchy, we had a king who can rule us, we had some great visionaries as kings like the mauryans, akbar etc, similairly we had blood thirsty and power thirsty people like genghis khan etc. monarchy makes a person to think that he is not answerable to any one, and the monarchy becomes a dictatorship. army rule is another option, yes indeed it has its own merits like discipline and law n order under control. indeed the army has a bunch of dedicated people, who love the country more than themself. but again law cant be forced, i strongly believe that laws has to be understood and abide rather than forcing. army rule doesnt seems to be a longterm option. the problem with our country is that , the reform must begin with u and me, when we ourself wait for the next person to be perfect and blame others and do the same mistake, which we are blaming on others, what kind of progress is this? we people have a mass or rather a mob mentality when some one does something all of us run and do the same, but we dont want ourself to step out from our safety zone. life is about taking risks, it doesnt matter whether we will win or loose, but its about intentions, and determinations. let us be the change. let the revolution begin from us. from within. exercise ur right to vote. select the candidate rightly . dont look upon his party , his caste , ur personal benefit, religion, but about his qualifications, it doesnt matter even though u know he will loose in election, but even then u can be happy about making ur choice right. please do vote and vote for right persons to represent ur voice.

the best investment plans for u!!

2009-03-15T00:04:00.000-07:00

this time i am going to tell u the best and most easiest investment plan, which when u execute it properly, u wud never ever cease to get the returns, that too the returns u will be getting will be 100 times more than what u hav invested and that too u get it within a span of five years. but provided u have some qualifications, and talents. this is the right time for the investment , mostly such an opportunity comes only once in 5 yr, some times it comes intermediately!! it depends. the investment is untouched by the economic crisis, and it will also guard ur generations and make them billionaires too, if they r also having the qualification they can turn millions to billions. qualification which are required includes a great communication ability, the ability shud be such that u should make people believe that whatever things u r telling is truth. u r better qualified if u have some ability to express ur emotions or enact ur emotions publicly. education doesnt matter, even if ur educated , forget the manners and good( if any) habbits that u have acquired during ur education days, try to be as stubborn as u could be even though u know that these things are trivial and doesnt matter, it doesnt matter whether ur 8th class failure or harward university u have to be as stupid as possible. the most important qualification is that u shud never try to solve the disputes, but just remain a spectator so that let them fight and die. also even though you have never read any book it doesnt matter atleast you should blabber some quotes from some books and show your self as knowledged. it could be better if u r an athelete in ur school days, so that u can save ur self by jumping from one side to the other, and if required need to run miles, somersault will be highly useful. so i hope u understood about the investment which am speaking, IN INDIA ELECTIONS R COMING!!!!!!

THE FACE OF AN UNKNOWN INDIAN

2009-01-08T23:04:00.000-08:00

This is one such incident which happens very rarely in India. My country with its vast varieties
of people , and with more people below the poverty mark, rarely we will see some acts of
inspiration from the bottom, which make us think are we really up to the standard?. The virtues
shown by people who are so called low class sometime excel the acts of charity of million dollars
by people who are doing it for the pomp. I just experienced one soul drenching, illuminating
momment as i am writing this, i just wanted to share immediately the excitement, the joy and
happiness of meeting one such indian, who has illuminated my soul. may be the incident may
sound silly to readers, but one who knows what India is all about truly knows the impact of this
incident. Today was just another day until i struck upon the event. Today there is petrol
shortage in my city chennai, hence my lecturer called me and asked me to wait for him, as his
vehicle was dry. Hence we both started to our college free medical camp whic is organised at
mudichur every tuesdays and fridays. as we entered, i went to my friends and we were kidding
each other, and didnt do any work :) just whiling away the time, patients were coming and going.
By 10.45 we asked our sir for a tea break and started out, just had a nice walk and we were at
tea shop, itwas my friend kavitha who called me, she was there at camp. Wondered why she is
calling? thought she would need some biscuits are coffee for her self, thinking so i reluctantly
attended the call. She told me that you just come immediately , pavani has left her mobile in the
bus itself . umm now i understood the problem pavani one of my classmates and a cool friend has
expensive mobile atleast worth of 10,000 bugs or more. She is actually pretty cautious unlike
me (for info successfully so far mysteriously 3 mobiles of mine have disappeared!!) .I told the
guys iam leaving ther and told the problem, and started off. My lecturer was waiting, he told that
she had left her mobile in 55m bus( that goes from tambaram to mannivakkam), and she just
now told that she had left in the bus, and sir called her number. a man attended and informed
that mobile was with him, and he is in mannivakkam right now, and asked to come and get the
mobile as soon as possible. I was surprised , so even after taking a mobile with him that too
expensive, he is replying us coolly!! i was not told clearly about neither his whereabouts nor
about his details or identity, infact not even his name!!. hence me and pavani started our
journey. we came to natesan school and he had told some school near and again we called him,
his descriptions were a bit confusing indeed, we just roamed arround that school in search of a
barbershop and twashop which he told as identity. he told that he is ina house were some
painting work is carried on, and pink colur was the paint. As the place looked doomed , a sudden
streak of fear ran through my mind, was it safe with a girl by your side to go to an unknown
locality to meet an unknown person? she also felt the same, what if this was atrick to trap
pavani? (too much of detective novels and movies !!!) but any way we didnt want to take the
risk, i called kannan and asked him to come to the place were we will be waiting. On the way i
drove in to a ditch and she jumped from her seat and was in air for a few swconds , and
fortunately no damage for any one. We again called him, and still was not able to understand the
exact location. Kannan spoke with them and he partly understood the place, he asked us to wait
and he will go and look arround. we were waiting there , i told pavanai, that he may expect some
thing(of course money), and decided 50 will do. later kannan called us and told that he has found
the place and asked us to come. so we went and we found that the locales he was giving was
exactly there. and down in a lane atlast we found the house were the painting was done. we stood
there. i told kannan, how much should we give? i think they will expect something, he said wait
we will give something after he asks for. why to give on our own? and kept my wallet back in to
my pant pocket. 2 men came down the staors, as shabbily as they could have ever been dressed,
painters attire- the paint stained clothes, not more than 30 years of age. They came and asked
pavani, "is this your cell?" she replied"ya" , they had her cell in the front pockets of the trouser
of one of them, her cells shining green velvette pouch was in contrast to the shabby
greassy attire of the man. he further spoke on " shouldnt you be more careful? we were waiting
since morning for a call, we ourself thought of calling someone, hereafter better neverbe careless
like this have it" he gave the pouch to her, i thanked him, so was she and kannan, we all thanked
them and internally i was thinking so how much this fellow is expecting and when he will open
the mouth, i dont have 50rs change just a hundred rupee note is there, alas there i had the
second surprise they just left without further word, and were back in the duty, we also started
and as i kicked my bike and started, we would have just travelled 10 feet, i felt a sting in my
heart, no you shouldnt do that his virtue , his nermai- honesty have to be rewarded,
recognised, we indians always fail to recognise such acts! he will think next time before handling
back the item to its owner, what benefit had i got? i stopped the vehicle, turned back my head to
pavani with these thoughts in my mind, hell was she a mindreader!! she told "suneel shouldnt we
give something? he has not even asked for" ya i told her yes we should, and turned my vehicle
and came back. i saw them standing in the terrace, i just signalled him, just come down, icould
see some panic in his face and as well as his fellow mates, they would have thought oh now these
people are going to complain where is my 100 rs note i kept inside the pouch!! he came down
reluctantly from the stairs, i went to him, gave 100 rs to him, oh alas the third biggest surprise !!
he refused to take it, i said "no you should take this its for your attitude, and i felt that i needed
to hug him, yes i hugged him, the happiness i had was something that nourished my soul, he was
just as reluctant as he was and just went about his work with a smile. Pavani was happy, kanna
was smiling, and i relentlessly thank god for giving me a role , a witness to the great act of an
unknown indian, i still dont know his name, but i will always remeber his face whenever some
one utters the word "HONESTY". Life is not a complicated thing, these simple men and simple acts taeches us tons and tons of lessons, then any textbook could have ever taught us. Listen your heart, joy is inevitable. I thank god who made pavani to loose her cell, else i would never had this experience. India's soul lies not in its militairy power, not in its it companies, not even in cricketers or the entertainers, its just these bunch of simple people who make the country stand tall because of there illustrious attitudes.

WELCOME 2009

2009-01-08T07:41:00.000-08:00

Finally the year 2008 has passed on and another year has dawned, a new year, set of new

opportunities, set of new tasks and challenges to be faced, a new set of goals to be achieved. The

life itself is a great teacher, a master par excellence as it unfolds , its the experience that counts.

I wonder in the past 1 yr how many days i could recall exactly what i did, it could be probably

25- 30 days at the maximum!! so what have i done to rest of my time!!? We all have this

problem, its time to think have we lived our life to its fullest extent as we thought?, its time to

look back, to decide our next step we need to recollect the past. I have decided to document my

life and thoughts in a dairy from this year, and so far am successful, hope i will follow the entire

year. 2008 , had its momments of history, the obamas victory has made this entire world to

look out for a change, though the illinois senator is no magician , he cant just change the world

with his whisk of a wand. Let us hope and wait that something good happens in trying times. As

an Indian , the act that shook up me would naturally be the attack of timids on the mumbai

killing innocent lives. I am praying god for a year where no such incidents repeat anywhere in

the world. again this new year has began with bombings of gaza by israelis.

Let this year be the full stop of all such activities were human life is lost in vain.

The economic turmoil will be overcome for sure.

In this new year i pray god to give me courage and to all people, atleast this time we shall live

our life which we have dreamt for.

Let us be unflinching from our goals and perceptions.

Let us live our life fully , and enjoy the life as we travell through the various pages of the great

book of life with fascination and enthusiasm at the heart.

Let us forget the sin of others in the past, and forgive the sins of our own.

Let us be equipped in all measures to face the odds of life and be resolute that when we come out

we w ill be a better person.

Let us cultivate the love within, the divine radiance shall spread to ourself , our family ,

neighbours, pets, street, town, city , state, country and to this entire world, let the light from our

heart carrying love and hope spread to the entire world and provide strength to the weak,

provide hope to the dispaired, provide energy to those exhausted, provide happiness to all.

Let us be more human than ever and be sensitive to our fellow passengers, afterall its

coexistence that has made us surviving species in this world.

Let us be more conscious about our body and its needs and attending to its needs.

Let us live and dance to the tunes of nature , in harmony with it.

Let us be more truthful to our self,and and fellow beings.

Let us expand our limits, and not just get shrunken in to a shell.

Let us have no fear, and pure courage which is sensible shall guide as through.

WITH THESE WISHES AND EXPECTATIONS...

WISHING YOU ALL A GREAT YEAR. OF JOY AND GREAT MOMMENTS AHEAD.

INQULAB ZINDABAD

2008-12-01T02:41:00.000-08:00

India, my mother nation is fighting her way, a serious situation , it has to survive and overcome

it. the cowardly act of terrorism had indeed created a sense of vaccum, an insecurity in the

minds of people, questioning the sheer hope of tommorow. yes , the mindset would change gradually, i know that the people of india have unsual power of coping and adjusting to the

situations, and bouncing back to buyoyancy, just a matter of time. but how long are we going

to live with terror at our backyard? no point in blaming and churning the same story about the

involvement of neighbouring nation, pakistan, the people of pakistan are also shaken up by the

acts of terrorism.

The political head rollings are of least importance in this hour of crisis ,

and of least importance to a common man, a common man is not worried about who is the

secretary of defence, or the minister? he needs security, he needs to drive away his fears, he

needs assurance, not just political promises and claims. there is lacuna in coordinating the

various security systems in india, we need to set up an autonomous body which coordinates the

entire defence mechanism, the communication system and intelligence mechanism has to be

improved. enough of blame game by the leading political parties, if these acts continue i am sure

that people may loose faith in democracy at some or other point of time.

Government has to answer some tough questions, what is the mechanism to protect a common man from becoming a victim of terror?

does our armed men have enough technical advancements to over come the challenges of these

brutal man eaters? are we competent enough?

and so on..yes its time that people of india should cometogether, hold the hands , and unitedly

resist and move forward against the evil elements, forgetting the borders, religions, castes,

political agenda, its time for a revolution- inqalab, to show resilience, to put up a brave fight

against those evils, inspite of the severe loss of lives i see one good point in this terror attack, i.e

its the feeling of integrity, the maharashtrians, the tamilians, the biharis, the kannadigas and soo

on all atleast at that momment we felt we all are indians, this feeling has to run through our

blood.

Sincerely we pay our tribute to the legendary cops, jawans who fought it out to reduce

the death toll, and saved the lives of several people . hats off to kamte, salsalkar and karakare

saheb, we miss you and love u all, and the nsg commandos especially major unnikrishnan and

gajendra singh, for the valiant act. we expresss our solidarity with entire family of those victims

ideal political party. a distant dream?

2008-10-20T02:15:00.000-07:00

Recently there was a huge gathering of a party started by actor turned politician in chennai, it made me to think about how a political party should be run in India? especially in tamil nadu, which had been under the rule of dravidian parties for the past 3o odd years, the political culture of the state , i felt is in a very bad state. These are my small fragments of thoughts, some may disagree or have better points , am ready for a healthy discussion always. Am presenting my view point from a citizen's angle about the ideal political party, when the word ideal is used it shows that its imaginary or unattainable, any way lets wait and watch..

1.No extravaganzas

2.No improbable and unappropriate and impossibble or unwanted promises made just for the election's sake.

3. No personal attacks on any one , this has to be adopted as partys motto , right from the head to the last supporter should refrain themself from attacking the individuals in public.

4.Meetings or any activities should not cause peril to the public life and shouldnot disturb the lifestyle of people of that area.

5. Its better to have a leader who in his personal life too disciplined, as in making some important policy decisions its neccessary that he should be in a position of command and not in a position of dispute because of his own behaviour.

6. Enough off great orators, we need people who will execute and convert the words in to acts.

7. The party should have a strong internal democracy.

8. No more family politics please (the most important one)

9. A party that doesnt overstuff it's ideologies in those people who are not interested in it( but first you need some ideologies to stuff!! thats different), and allows its members to express itself freely.

10. The supporters and members must not be just like a sheep herd , but should have some discriminative capacity and should not be blind to some unscrupulous deciscion at the highest level, at the same time they definitly should have immense discipline and respect to partys ideologies and leader.

11. The most important is the supporters, members and leader should not look politics as a new business or alternate or additional source of income , please dont come with the intention that if we invest 1 lakh we will reap 20 lakhs, this kind of business attitude should be thorougly eradicated.

12 The order of priority in taking a deciscion for a party leader should be country and people first(irrespective of power) second his party and members, lastly his own likes and dislikes.

13.Money management is important, always dont spend money lavishly in useless things like gatherings, etc instead that money can be used for doing something constructively for society.

14'lastly a people friendly party and easily approachable leader with whom we can share our public grievances.

15. A party that doesnot encourage violence in any level, that does not support any unwanted strikes and bandhs that affects public life.

hmm..after nearly 60 years of independence i couldnt find a party that matches all these criterias, and i know that its tumultuos task , it requires maturing of an entire generation, but let us awaken our self and awaken people arround ourself, its time to say loudly and clearly that WE NEED A CHANGE!!

BELIEVERS Vs NON BELIEVERS

2008-05-24T01:24:00.000-07:00

God , this has been a subject of fascination to some, subject of faoth to som, to some it s a ridicuous joke. but one single question that lingers arround is has god created human? or human created gods? well without hurting any one's belief we need to take a truthful journey.
god , i feel is a glorious concept and deep rooted to the human evolution. we people always have a fascination or adoration towards a hero or heroic deeds. historically some of themythological figures , i feel would have been no more than a mortal and because of the exemplary quality of life , and great deeds the life of them is glorified and myths surround them as centurys move. the current day gods are definitly created by human. you have gods for all your purposes, to get marry, to get children, to get passport,visa, and what not, so what does human then here for? what does he do then? several of modernday methods of worship appears to be a sought of bribery , such as people trying to put contract with him, oh god you make me pass my exams then i will shave my hair,or break a coconut and so on, so we people trying to bribe god. we are fooling ourself by involving in such acts.
actually what does god mean to the society? an ulra power man who takes on all baddies, or a wish master or a loyal servant who full fills the needs, i dont find any meaning in such perceptions. so then you may think i am a non believer, no definitly not, i believe in him, the god, but he is not an individual, or a thing, rather he is a philosophy, a life style, an ulterior wisdom which moves the universe, we need to look at ourself, and nature if we really want to look and understand god. there is a set of rules, there are innumerable players , its like a flowchart or algorithm, god gives wisdom, he doesnt prompt you answers at exam hall. rather than a blind believer of good, you can be an intelligent athiest atleast.

TO LOVE AND HATE....

2008-01-03T00:56:00.000-08:00

To love and hate...we all do have rights..but what is the demarcating line?!..i remember some great people's stories..first we have to understand what is real love..yes to love doesnt mean unscripulously , blindly supporting whatever our beloved person does..so also to hate means not blindly critiscizing or offending the nature of aperson or his deeds..we should be in a position to discriminate , between what is right and wrong, may be in a larger sense there is nothing called as right or wrong, thats different anyway, let us try to cultivate the habit of loving that too without discrimination , without expecting anything in return, because love is giving , its a pleasure for both , but sometimes we may feel that our counterpart doesn love us equally like us, definitly we can do nothing about that, our duty is to shed lo0ve we shall do it, coming to the point of to hate..ya we must indeed hate something, but the difference lies in discriminating the doer and his action, we can and ofcourse hate harmful actions or deeds of a person but not the person as a whole, that is we can hate deeds but should not hate the doer, this will actually build our relationship, oue happiness wont get pertubed, for eg if a person spits at u , u have the right to get angry but for the act of spitting alone, just we need not carry the angry and hatch into hatred..because what we need in todays world is love.....

RELEGIOUS BIAS!!!

2007-12-24T20:48:00.000-08:00

Religion, there is 1 community in orkut for world peace, i was going through an intersting thread , regarding the question is religion the cause of war?.. i found some intersting views, ok now to the question , does religion promotes war?.. the answer is that definitly no religion in this world promotes war, and if somebody says if it promotes then it is not at all a religion...but the fact is that there have been wars in the fast and even now wars are happening under the name of religion, i feel that the basic reason for war is the feeling of ruthless "I" sense, the sense to establish one's own ideologies and one's own power over the weaker sects, it is the individual powerseeking attitude and superiority complex, this sense manifests itself in various formats such as casteism racism, feeling of one's own superiority is not a bad one until it transgresses the limits and disturbs the others, religions are set of principles laid with a common goal to achieve a greater happiness, truth and bliss in life, but the so called religious people have become fanatics and forget the principles and hold on blindly, forgetting the basics of humanity, if u forget what rama, jesus, allah , buddha told and just hold on to the forms there is no use in adopting religion....

THE RESERVATION POLICY IN INDIA

2007-12-18T03:45:00.000-08:00

the reservation policy which is followed in india puts me some great question marks in my mind..are we following the right standard to compete to the global market by putting this policy in to the force..but at the same time to remain competitive are we loosing grounds? and are we failing to build the life of our own people who are ailing at the bottom line..whom to blame..the politicians who are filling the pockets or the people's mind set or what else..definitly i agree that inequality exists in the society..but reservation is the solution ? am not sure..the reservation should be better be based on the economic basis..it should not be like rich get richer and poor get poorer..our current policies have led to the emergence of new millionaires..but at the same time the needy people who require support are let down..there should be proportionate increase in cost of living and salry..but it has not happened here..there is this problem of creamy layer..the practical application of economic basis of reservation will be questioned ..yes it needs a great deal of field work and need real data for classifying economically people in to low income , middle income and so on...but at the same time it is not impossible...yes there are certain sects of people who need help..for eradicating caste one must not recognise it..but our government is recognising and indeed birth at a particular clan shouldnt be the decider of his destiny..hope future will be bright and needs a strict review of our policies.

THE REAL BEAUTY

2007-12-15T23:35:00.000-08:00

'A thing of beauty is a joy for ever' ..this is a famous quote..i agree with this statement..but the perception point of beauty is differing..first we have to know what is beauty?? does beauty means dressing oneself in the costliest outfits? excellent physique? exotic places? gifts of nature such as great mountains or deep deas or dense forests or water falls or what else? when i was thinking and pondering about this..i cud say that definitly every individual has a different view point for beauty.. for an ecologist it may be his garden that is the most beautiful thing rather than any thing in this world..for a begger the saravana bhavan meals might be the biggest beauty..so i am saying that perception of beauty is purely based on our individual ideologies..even miss world may not appear beautiful to hungry begger..there is not a single object which every one in this world accepts as beautiful..but is there anything called as ugly?? again it is also the difference in angle with which it is viewed...remaining beautiful is different from appearing beautiful..hope u can understand what am saying..no one or no thing can be labelled as ugly..in the law of universe every thing is beauty..its not essential that appearance must be beautiful(but it will also make a positive point too!!) but it is the real inner beauty which makes the life glorified..we all are beautiful..believe in this..this entire universe and its order is a great beauty..just visua;ise even the ordinary things with this view point..we start enjoying and love our life.

theory of parallel existence

2007-12-09T03:29:00.000-08:00

i understood this theory..u might have already read or found..but i have never attenpted to get source..it might have been already there ..sounds different yaar..ok i believe that life exists in other planets other than our own mother earth. u may ask how could it be possible? ya i will try to explain my points .. i may be wrong..the main reasons which the scientists tell us that life cant exist without oxygen... and of course without water..not possible..even in some planets they may land in future and tell this theory they have not found life..my theory is that..in our world we have a body which works in the metabolism of water and we use oxygen for our survival..our life system is such that everything is based on water and oxygen..naturally these both are available abundantly in our biosphere..hence we cannot survive without these .. but that doesnt mean that life cannot exist without these..because in other planet u may have predominance of some other gas and liquid and thier biological system may be suited to live and metabolise according to thier..say for eg in jupiter u may find organism inhaling mercury vapours there u may not have oxygen.. and may drink sulphuric acid which is available there!!! so u cant expect an organism to breathe oxygen and live with water in jupiter..they may not be visualised , because our human beings can capture those rays which are in the range of visual spectrum..they may be highly evolved and may live in other ranges..sounds fictional??! ok give it a thought

india , sare jahan se accha....??

2007-12-07T04:00:00.000-08:00

what is so special about my motherland india? some say it as cultural heritage , the great history and the ancient culture..yes we do have it ..but we indians have a wrong idea that we only have great tradition, but i feel that it is not like that certainly, every nation and its people have thier own tradition and backing, no race is inferior and so no race is superior, i dont jnow why we people lack civic sense..we throw everything..no one in the world wastes water like anything,, am not sure about whether our people are aware of ecological problems..am not speaking about any illiterate here it is the so called literate people in the society who create greater nuisance, we are reluctant, time management ..oh my god we lack a great deal of it..but still there is a great feeling comin in my mind that makes india sare jahan se acha..yes it is the undying spirit folks, we have witnessed this emotion of great resurgence, the tremendous energy coming in to the fore..the individual identotoes are lost, selfish intersts are lost..the big example is post gujarat calamity..the whole nation stood behind the victims, in the post flood period in mumbai some two years back, everything came to normal the second day, in the post tsunami period there was tremendous pour of help to tamilians..we indians tend to forget these great resurgences and move ahead , the taste of my nation is great, i dont think in anyway u can generalise any feature in india because of its vast diversity..but it is the fate of our people to realise the real potency only during calamity.. icant wait for the next on.............

PATH BREAKERS Vs PATH MAKERS

2007-12-05T20:15:00.000-08:00

The battle of good and evil, happening for a long time since the inception of earth, or universe, it is our belief that even though evil triumphs but it will be good at the ultimate,
here comes the question of ultimate, what is that ultimate point of victory? what are we winning over? to which are we loosing? history will let us know that , the once traitors became the greatest leaders , having huge following after death, socrates was killed because of instigating people to think dirty thoughts, there were some people who were killed for the sake of breaking the circle of blind beliefs, those who broke the path incidentally paved the new path and became the path makers, thier contribution in the process of human evolution is very commendable, we humans have the notion that whatever we are believing is right, but i think there is nothing wrong in thinking like that, but at the same time dont think that what others are thinking are wrong , that makes the difference, i feel that there is nothing called as good and evil in this world, it is our perception point that makes the difference, time provides the great answers, anything is good and fine until it traverses and tresspasses others beliefs, freedom and life,

WORLD IS LIKE A JOINT FAMILY EACH OTHER WORKING FOR THE WELFARE OF OTHER , BUT WE ARE ALL INDIVIDUALS WITH UNIQUE ABILITIES AND MOULDS!!

MAN EATERS

2007-12-04T17:25:00.000-08:00

i am not saying any wild animal like tiger or lion as man eater, u have to believe me that we human are the greatest man eaters , right from the history, while no other species in the process of evolution ever had such cruelest intention and coupled with perfect planning had posed a great threat for the survival of its own species, we lost more lives bcoz of thirst of power than the natural calamities , what is the aetiology behind such maniac killing?? u had a leader who threatenend to extinguish a race arround 70 yrs back, u had a leader at african country whoose menu daily has got finger chips(yup it is real finger chips),and head curry, obviously because they all wanted to be at the top, never mind how many heads they have to crush to come in to the power, the throne they sat was made up of the skeleton of innumerable individuals who have been murdered brutally, power has always remained as a greatest lure to human being ever since inception, but believe me , the power is not excising command and den=mand respest from other, but the real power is within our self, our principles and beliefs, and how useful we are to the society, such as gandhi , martin luther . i think they had more power than hitlers and mussolinis..

HANUMAN....MYTH OR PHILOSOPHY

2007-12-03T04:10:00.000-08:00

the hindu mythology, is a very interesting subject, some believe the existence of demigods, some say it tells about some philosophy underneath, i am not sure about the existence , but i believe that they definitly have some underlying meaning, when i was thinking over the forms of gods, my thoughts came over to this character hanuman, the monkey faced god who is known for his mind power and bhakthi over rama, i really admire hanuman right from my childhood, i thought y he is having this monkey face, in tamil they say "manam oru kurangu" meaning mind is like a monkey, this is a similie which says that mind is like a monkey it jumps from branch to branch, the term hanuman can be interpreted in sanskrit as han- to win over or kill, man- mind, at the same time hanuman is told as son of wind god, in indian literature there are plenty of refernces explaining about the relation between vayu and mana.."chalae vatam chalae chittam" if the wind or prana is disturbed the mind is also disturbed",
if u remember that hanuman an ordinary monkey soldier becomes a great lord hanuman, after he was reminded of his inherent capability ,
my hypothesis is that, this character of hanuman implies to us that, our minds are just like monkey when we realise the minds true potential and tame it by pranayama, and other methods, and when we gain mastery over that, then we can raise above our level to the level of GOD, so there is hanuman within all of us, to make it as hanuman or to continue it as just monkey is in our hands...........

pattern of life

2007-12-01T09:01:00.000-08:00

this is my first post...have u observrd that there is apattern existing in our life..the question is that whether fate rules our life or our intellect or we deside our life? we come across people fighting miraculously ..from the tight corner..we find people succumbing even to small events..i feel that there is apttern , a format in life, its like a flowchart or algorithm or a program..its like a map..u have a starting at destination..that doesnt mean that its all fate..its like in a route u have the reins..we have the right of choosing..it is simple it works like a logic gates..the path is already laid and fixed ..it is our choice to accept or choose the alternate..just observe closely for every step u have a choice..u have to choose carefully to take the right road ..its partly destiny and partly will..
