This is my World

It was one more day in his Life. A new life in fact. None from his immediate family has worked before in the IT industry, let alone in a big city. It was not long, before he jumped into his social works. He had always had an interest towards them. He believed, no cause is lost until one fool is left to fight for it. He knew, he was not alone in this cause. He did not have much work that day or at least he was not inclined to do any work. He was anxious. He has waited long for this day. Since he was a child, he had always wondered, why some of his neighbours, some of them, kids of his same age had to live a different life. He never had to ask his mother for food. It was always there for him. He did not know what hunger meant. He never had to compromise with what he desired. His father would buy him, whatever he needed. He lived in a relatively big house, studied in an English medium school and was leading a comfortable life. by any means. Life was not the same for his neighbours. He had...

We, humans are animals. We contribute a little to the vast animal kingdom. This is obvious form the fact that, the number of bees, outnumber us by 8 t0 1. Also, we are no different from any other animal. If we can communicate through languages, animals can too. It doesn't mean that only we do all talking, if we don't understand what others say. If we can smile and laugh, so can others. A recent study claims that, dolphins smile more frequently than us. If we can show love and affection, so can they. Oh! well, the common sense. When a stone and a coconut were given to a boy and a monkey, the monkey carefully used the stone to break open the coconut and ate the flesh, whereas he boy, threw away the coconut and broke open his neighbour's head. Praise our common sense. With nothing special and being the minority, how did men come to dominate the planet? Adaptation. All animals tend to adapt to their surroundings. If they find no food, they migrate to where food is available. I...

Take the constitution of any country and you are certain to find, freedom of blah, blah, blah in the fundamental rights sections of it. Freedom of equality, freedom of speech, freedom of movement, freedom of occupation, freedom of religion and a hell lot of freedoms, just to fill up the pages, so that the book looks big and scary. Are all these just rights? Well, before answering the question, we need to know what freedom and right are. I turned the pages of a web dictionary to find the literal meanings. For freedom, i had two hits. "The condition of being free; the power to act or speak or think without externally imposed restraints" and "Immunity from an obligation or duty". For right, i had many, so just using the relevant one. "An abstract idea of that which is due to a person or governmental body by law or tradition or nature". All these meaning confuse me. I will go with mine. Freedom, is to do something at will and right is entitlement to. I don...

Once upon a time, in the jungles of southern India, there was a sage, praying for so many years towards Lord Shiva. Sitting under a Banyan tree, he meditated for ages. He lost himself as well track of time. His beard has grown grey and his surroundings very different from when he started to meditate. He felt, his only duty was to pray. One day a hunter, ventured into the jungles, to find some for for the day. He happened to see the praying sage, sitting cross-legged, under the banyan tree. He kept looking at the bearded sage in awe, for he had seen no such man, devoted to God so much, before. He knew, he cannot go on such missions, because he had a family to feed and two children to be taken care of. He kept staring at the sage, only to wake him up. The sage opened his eyes slowly, as the screens go off in a theatre. He saw a man standing before him, with a bow and a few arrows. He enquired the hunter, why he had dared the cold and the animals, into such forests. The hunter told him, w...

Men have always been and will be a strange bunch of creatures, who question more than they answer. But, they call Life as one. "Why are we here? What is our role? What is our destiny? Is it written? ". All age old questions, men believe, life has asked them. In reality, it is the other way around. Men ask these questions at their lives and make it complicated. I prefer answering over questioning. Here is one such attempt. Destination and Destiny are two interchangeably used words, which never means the same. Both are ultimate Goals, but they differ in one aspect. Destination is where you wanna go and destiny is where you will. Men, in their lives, have many destinations, which keeps changing time to time. to become success, famous, to earn heaps of money, to do service, are all high destinations. Men can choose any of them, based on their interests. They also have the freedom to choose, their routes to their destinations. Every destination has different routes as well choices...

Music, like the heart of a mother, is pure and harmless. Be it pain, sorrow, failure, dejection, loneliness - the only pill that has the capability to cure is Music(some will claim Alcohol can cure too. I will neither support that claim or dismiss it). Music is the only language every living being on this planet can understand. Its the language that is made of the least number of symbols - LOVE. Over the years humans have learnt to understand. Well, at least some of them have.    Falling from the skies,  Onto the steel roofs, Flowing through gutters, Down to the Earth and neath !  A couple of drops of rain. May be a few more. Straight from the hands of god Nature - Divine. No one listened and you didn't care, When you cried and your mother sighed,  A toothless mouth and a lonely womb,  Cherished within till the tomb ! The cry of a new born and the relieved sigh of a mother - Life.  Not so loud, between the two,  N...

I have always liked history, not simply because, it lets me learn about my forefathers, but because, it lets me to face mysteries. Our forefathers did not have enough tools to record everything (We do put in everything. My blog is a typical example. I am afraid, what our descendants are gonna look up for mysteries.). And one of the greatest mysteries they left us, is about the greatest man in History. Sitting in one corner of a small house,in a city, in India, does not give me a chance to prove scientifically his physical looks. By no means, I also want to do that. I don't worry, if Jesus was white or black, had a short or long hair. I am going to look for logical explanations for his soul's look. I first heard the story of Jesus, when i was young, even before i had learnt the mechanisms of human reproduction or the meaning of virgin. When I knew both, I started analyzing the bible. Well, I may not be a expert biologist, but at least to my knowledge, a virgin can never give bir...
