Belonging to some community - being Communal...
skewed/distorated towards pseudo correctness.
Relating oneself with his birth is the biggest mistake a person can do. and I feel its the only problem in India. Why can't we descriminate people in terms of mental grounds. ???
Our focus is more in religion, community... and recognizing someone on his community is being communal. which are early seeds for fear, pain, rage against other community. Helping people of only same community... will further result in others doing same... its like the monkeys play, the viscous circle...
Think what will happen if everybody in India goes secular??? (few best things for India to happen)
well thats tough to think, atleast for me, as still majority of Indians don't actually know the meaning of "Secularism". Unfortunely their presense (those who don't know secularism) is more in politics...
SECULARISM is not " respecting(considering) all religon", but its "not respecting(considering) any religon".
By definition of George Jacob Holyoake( A British writer who coined the term "secularism.")
Secularism is the assertion that governmental practices or institutions should exist separately from religion and/or religious beliefs.
We when say we belong to some community, this means we say we were born in that community... and ideas of Engineers society of India, Lawers society etc... never comes into our mind... arent this is being communal???

Why be content?
"Why are people so content?",I ask myself.Sometimes I myself do feel content. But still I am trying to seek the reason..
Are we afraid or tired to ask for more?Have we forgotten to fight?
I have tried many times to fight and ask.But most of the times I have found myself waging a lone battle...
I sometimes think, isn't there anyone who feels that we need to wake up and ask for what is our right and what is our need?
I was traveling in a public transport once and as usual it was packed with people like an ant-hole.
I requested one gentleman to vacate the seat where he was seated as it was a seat reserved for ladies.But Mr. Gentleman plainly refused to give up his seat...
I asked the conductor for help but it was in vain..I looked at few ladies around but they too were looking at me as if I had made a mistake of asking for a seat which probably Mr. gentleman seemed to be owning...
Its so sad to see a human being having no feeling for another human being...
I wish people wake-up and make this world a better place to live...
I wish people stop being content....because being content will only stop growth of us as a human being and also as a nation...

Happenings in our India. Action and reactions.
Like any other living being, we humans atleast in India (lets hold down our talks with this Indian domain) have started fighting for survival. If we see the root issue, its less of hatred and more of fear of extinction. Extinction of culture, extinction of language, extinction of religion, extinction of caste... And many more valued things. Its really sad to see all these things. Although it's was guite evident that some day this situation will come. Fortunately still things are not that bad, but fear of man extincting itself in his fight for saving those things from extinction which he values more than anything is very high.
UPites and Biharis are seen so down upon, Christians, Muslims, Hindu backward community, Hindu forward community all by some or other community are seen as dangerous, harmful community. Why? Not because they are harmful in direct way, but the extinction.
We Indians have edge over our neighboring countries over number of English speaking population, not because our over all number is high,but because we have
actually more speakers. Its proven fact that greater the number of language a person knows, more better is it for his mental growth. I'm sure there must be
many UP or Biharis having equal love for any karnataka, or Marathi guy or any Indian as guy from his own home town. But aren't actions here forcing them to
have second thought?
churches are burnt, so many hindus condemned this action. Yeah they were true in a way that this is not Hindu religion which can ever approve these activities. True. Hinduism which is the most tolerant religion, oldest living religion why do people (Hindu) are burning churches. When Hinduism lived in age of Mughals where aurangzeb's daily motto used to convert 1.5 lakhs hindus, or when over 2500 temples were burnt or when during Goa inquisition where all Hindus temples, scriptures were burnt, or when Mh. Ghazni, Mh. Glori etc... People raided Indian cites, took away Hindu women, converted poors by giving them money... If Hinduism survived those period then whats the danger now? If our alert Hindu soldier should focus more on increasing the awareness. Yeah doing good, or being so good to a bad person itself pinches people more. I agree things are easy said than actual doing. Those who lost there people in some bomb blast would not be able to forget or forgive person or ideology behind it. And so if they do anything in anger we should still have our sympathies with them. And fear of extinction is biggest fear anybody can have, and lets not challenge it. In life there are generally two kinds of event. Namely action and reaction. If we can find out what event is what, it would be easier to understand and analyze anything. I see all present day events as reaction. Wouldn't it be wise if we comment on actions rather than condemning reactions? As these reactions as I see are fear or extinction due to inner or external actions like.... You know what are those actions.

The play of supply and demand
we can work more efficiently if we are united and the feeling of united comes when there is common goals. Common goals are generally the over all fear with nobody having any specially escape route. Like what happens when there is any natural calamity or nations in war. There situations unit people more. And if the communication is good then a common goal, escape plan can be planned. But seeing things on micro level, suppose in a building with 50 families, if we tell people to use the water adequately as chances of water scarcity is there today. There family will actually start filling more water. And the water would actually be used up more early as predicted. Same logic can be applied to food grains or petrol or anything.
why do we behave in exactly opposite way? When a person is shy he behaves in different way which actually attracts more attention. The very action made to avoid a situation is actually triggered by that action. If we understand all this, I think to some extent things can be easier.

Life's motto
there is only one truth in life which i've seen. Only one truth, one law, one rule. And its, The death.
When i see old aged people i dont understand why are they alive.why do we need to live? What keeps us alive? Is it just the fear of death or is it something
more. Like in chess we play game till the game doesnt finishes. When we dont have any plan we just move some pawn or something non important piece. Do people
also live in that way. Have nothing to do,so just flowing with the time....
Fear and flowing with time. Is there any other reason to live? Sometimes We live for a dream also. Some wait, some positive anticipation or hope what ever you
call can also drive us to live.
Can there be any other reason to live other than these 3?
there can be two more which i can think of.
1.living for others.
2.enjoying the happiness.
So in all there can be only 5 reasons to live.
1. Fear of death
2. Flowing with time
3. Dreams/hopes
4. Living for others
5. Enjoying the happiness
And these reasons tells what kind of person are you. Whats your approach towards life. About me, i'm confused. Or rather i dont bother myself to think in that
direction. Things are better said than done. :-)

Can God be atheist
what is religion of god?is it same as mine of its same as yours?does god follows religion?god made religion or god believes in religion?gods words are treated as religion's core principles... So is god a atheist?or atleast is he non follower of any religion?
we see things as we think,generally we think the way we were brought up,our surrounding.can a person be religious but not believer of any god? I think majority of us will say no. We see being following some religion means believing in god.also can one religion accept god of other religion? I'm the god, only god. You shall have nobody after me whom you worship or pray to. Isn't these words sounds familiar to religious texts?
core principles should be tolerance, acceptance, rest all is customs and some way of differentiating people from other. If we see deeply we will understand what Democritus said
Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion.

India.... My India... Your India... whose India
Specially from running train when people throw plastic waste, at a location where no station near by... no one to pick the garbage... how does you all feel..? once thrown, the plastic will remain there till some animal eats it...
Majority of Indians worship cows... and what treatment cows get... they get plastics to eat... If 1 person throws 1 plastic rapper each day... and there r .1 Billion (abt 10 % of total population) ppl traveling... then in 1 month we will have 3 billion plastic rappers... It pains me... i think the best would be capturing their pics and posting on web abt their irresponsible behavior...
we can make difference, when we have number (our large population), even a small change at per unit level can result in very large changes in National level... all we need is communication, education and awareness... Lets make other countries envy of our unity, our Nation... India!!!

Reservations/quotas to people just discriminates. Equality cant ever be gained by discriminating,favouring some over others,by this the wall further broadens up.
All power politics...when will my country men get ahead over all this...elevate to the greater truth...

i want to live!!!
Life was what i saw in my childhood,in my native,
In mountains, Himachal Pradesh was the place I lived the most. Those walks, the breeze then used to talk to me.tell me how life is to be lived. light, free flowing, green... Nothing more to expect. Least bothered about whats happening in crowded cities...
Those journey of hours was more soothing than minutes of walk here in concrete jungle, hell of modernization. Here we r like technology, repair yourself now &then.meet doctor in every phase of moon. There in mountains life is like trees,nature... Life goes on, nature does all repair,why bother the doctor.
Who needs entertainment of people dancing their soul out to please me?when i've there birds playing their love with me...
Does technology really aids us in living or makes us more dependent on them?
I've had taken bath in open in Himachal at 5 in morning, but now hot water is whats needed.
Watches wake us,or we forgot waking up due to watches?
Soil was there treated/respected as a pure thing,we could wash our hands with it,here soiled hands are dirty...
Makke di roti aur sarso ka saag, is now considered heavy. My grand father's daily stroll was more than my monthly tiring walk. The time i spend there in nature, with goats, sheeps and buffalo is more pleasing with people here. They even walk more faster than my male friends flirting, trying to flirt with females...
The competition was there,and will always be there, but vehicle we use... Is it really helping us.whats most important thing in this life, is it more important than living?

Should Euthanasia or mercy-killing be made legal?
My question is should euthanasia be made legal or not?
Well, one part of me stands for it and the other part stands against this so-called mercy-killing.
Sometimes it seems wise to let a terminally ill patient to take a physician's help to commit suicide. But than how to determine that the patient is asking for euthanasia, is because he is really going to die or only because he is depressed?Also how to determine whether a prospective heir hasn't driven his wealthy relative, who is terminally ill into going for euthanasia?Also is it ethically right for a doctor or a physician to practice euthanasia, as doctors are supposed to give life and not take it?
If we consider the religious aspect, how correct it is to free a person from his/her sufferings?Is it so easy for a person to kill or help in suicide of another person?Is it easy to see your friends, family members or any dear one going for euthanasia and you can't do anything but just be a mock spectator of it?
Its really difficult (or should i say impossible) for me to arrive at some algorithm which decides whether to approve or disapprove mercy-killing.....
