Passing Clouds, Thoughts, Experiences & Impressions of Life

1. My Letter to A Saadhak/Friend...

2012-02-14T20:52:00.000-08:00

Dear *****,

*Tried to post this on your blog, but as it didn't allow, i'm sending the comments on your blog "http://knowislam.ucoz.com/news/an_invitation_towards_islam/2011-12-31-3" below:

According to glimpses of Bhagavatam, the holy treatise about creation, there is whole explanation of types of satan (rakshasas, asuras, bhoota, preta and pisachas - all having different characteristics) vs. different types of devatas (devas, suras, yakshas, kinnera kimpurushas etc. -who are with sattva guna) and many more and ultimately, the evolution of humanity through devahuti (daughter of Swayambhu Manu)i and kardama muni (who performed penance of over 10000 years for following the wish of Lord Brahma about extending the human creation) etc...

When scriptures and puranas are drawing such clear lines between devas and danavas (satan), how can there be idols for satans? It is much advanced text telling story of evolution....for your reference and reading.
Further, with your limited 5 senses through which you can perceive the world outer to you, you can't know the lord. It is easier at very ground level to start devotion with someone imaginable than with someone whom you don't know. Being aware of sensuous limitations, you are asked to worship the various forms of lord in idols form and perform the rituals, that reach the lord (akasat patitam toyam yadha gachati saagaram, sarva deva namaskaraha sri kesavam prati gachati), as all the water from skies reach the ocean, similarly all the namaskaras to devas would reach kesava (the ultimate lord); Doing these regularly (similar to a muslim doing namaaz) your consciousness upgrades to perceive the higher levels of existance (physical , meta-physical, spiritual planes etc) in natural way...

Devatas are but part of creation of lord (krishna / vishnu) emanating from himself, for executing and sustaining the creations...just like President of India uses different Governments & Departments for sustaining operations of the Country (ideal situation).

Request you not to go by the names of lords / demons used here....they are as per the holy scriptures....

Regards,

Dear Adithya,

Good to hear from you. Thanks for going through the article and posting your comments. I hope that you are doing well in both personal and professional lives.

Discussion with open mind to understand truth and acquire knowledge is the way to attain truth and peace in both the worlds.

As per Islam we all belong to One God who is our Creator and to Him we all shall return. He loves us all.
We all will be raised on the day of judgment after we die and will be judged as how we performed in this world. We should continously strive to search truth and follow it with open heart.

I would like to understand more about your views about religion, purpose of life and other basic questions as below;
1) Do you believe about God and Creation of Human being OR Do you believe in Evolution of Human being from Monkeys? and why?
2) What is the origin of mankind?
3) What is purpose of our lives? What will happen to us after our death?
and the most improtant question;
4) How can you be sure that what you are following or believing is truth and not just following elders blindly or without reasoning? What is the proof that what you believe or follow is truth?

Please feel free to call me anytime shall you need to discuss or talk in person as well.

Regards,

Dear *****,

Thanks for your enquiries :)

It's going fine with me on personal and professional fronts...

Below are my responses:

1) Do you believe about God and Creation of Human being OR Do you believe in Evolution of Human being from Monkeys? and why?

Humans coming from monkeys is just a speculation that should be ruled out by wise very easily. I believe about ultimate GOD and his sub-creations (again emanating from the one according to the sankalp or thought initiation from him), that executes sustenance and helps in three fold roles of manifested GOD.

2) What is the origin of mankind?

Origins ofcourse lie in the secrets of life and mystic linkage to God. For human beings with limited senses to read and assimilate the essence (need not be 100% understanding again due to inherent sense limitations) it has been presented by sages in Bhagavata Purana as stages of events occurred during evolution.

3) What is purpose of our lives? What will happen to us after our death?

Purpose of life is to achieve the "chatur vidha purusha-arthas" - the said four fold accomplishments of humans - DHARMA (righteousness) ARTHA (involves money, prosperity, well-being other materialistic things) KAAMA (the desires - materialistic again) and MOKSHA (liberation);
There is a clear cut reason (though not known to human beings with limited senses) why there are so many species with various capabilities and disabilities. The reasons lie in the 'judgement'' based on DHARMA. One can earn money to accomplish "ARTHA", but this should be righteous (abiding by DHARMA). Similarly KAMA should be achieved within the DHARMIC living only. The reason for various species with huge variations in life spans vs abilities vs appearances vs disabilities is nothing but result of past "karmas or doings".
Example: When a parrot completes it's life cycle, it has completed resolving the imbalance of 2 types of karma - punya (positive / sattvic) or paap (misdoings / tamsic / rajasic), based on DHARMA and when punya and paap equals, it is given an opportunity to chase next levels of existence through human body and ultimately end the cycle of KARMA.

So, what happens at the end of year appraisal (considering ideal appraisal system) in a company is nothing but result of what you do every working day about your job. Similarly, when the cycle of karma exhausts (both punya and paap), the soul is liberated. The glimpses of this science of liberation (MOKSHA) can be found in Lord Krishna's discourse as Bhagavad-Gita. The residual of net KARMA decides the life after any living entities death.

4) How can you be sure that what you are following or believing is truth and not just following elders blindly or without reasoning? What is the proof that what you believe or follow is truth?

For example, you are designing and developing a television. You will try to educate the end-user of how to use the device through manuals, for best benefits. Similarly, when GOD created human beings with above mentioned purposes, he manifested in different avtars and given manual as Bhagavad-Gita in terms of discourse to the devotee under his submission for living bliss filled life and attaining liberation.

If you give a HD signal to "Portable TV", it can neither receive nor process the signal to give an output. Similarly, for human beings like you and me with limited sense capabilities, can't perceive the opluences of Lord. But we are gifted with the intelligence to understand about our limitations. So, we should take shelter of some one who has already known the Lord and his opluences called Gurus - Munis and Rishis of ancient worlds... in the above example, they can perceive the HD signal, process it and also can display in the pure essence for our assimilation (if not understanding). So, one of the methods is attaining MOKSHA is through submission to such enlightened GURU and doing SUSRUSHA or seva with "sarvasya-saranaagati / complete submission". Now, coming to the "proof" portion, there are references or "Pramanas" described. The texts doesn't just say believe me....they establish a method to establish belief....that method is through various "PRAMANAS" (further reading on pramanas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pramana) by which you yourself can establish or evaluate.

When I say that I'm believing discourses of my SAT-GURU, I'm following SABDA-PRAMAN. I've got the ultimate eligibility of getting real SAT-GURU, and I get the knowledge through the SABDA-PRAMANA, as the knowledge being given is from AUTHENTIC ELIGIBLE GURU.
This is very much similar to a mother (who is AUTHENTIC ELIGIBLE PERSON) confirming the father for a son. The son will know his father through SABDA-PRAMANA. The son will never ever question / express doubt about his father - similarly, when the SABDA-PRAMANA is through ELIGIBLE GURU, I know that it is correct.
Thanks for intriguing questions ;). More discussions are welcome.

Adithya

India - Emerging out from Identity Crisis!

2012-01-29T23:54:00.000-08:00

Acknowledgements to the tolerant saadhaks who took birth at the whim of Lord, responsible for continuation of the great Hindu DNA despite >200 years of confusion. I bow to these strong minds and believers, for they are great executors of the Lord's idea.

Let's start with idea that 200 years is too short for a history and legacy of >5000 years (as found in the form of books) and tons of undated literary mountains to perish. A short lived rain is too short to destroy or perturb the massive ocean - that simply absorbs the rain to be again as gigantic and majestic as ever. It is only Mudhas who try to date the sruti, because as the name itself suggests, it is not in written words. Sruti as told by the Hindu is eternal (without beginning and ending - before humanity ever arouse - that which will survive even if all the humanity perishes). Hinduism doesn't expect you to write down for you to remember knowledge. Gnana is something that resides in the mind. It is thus important to understand that the creation is not like a causal system that has t=0; but there is no "t=0"; Being humans with a start date and end date, it will be a natural instinct to guess (pure guess work) that this universe has start and end dates.

Let leave the universe, do you have any little clue of how your body is formed? how you took birth, how life is sustained in you and what exactly will take away the life out of your body?

Do you have any clue of 1000s of changes happening inside your body and by the way..are you triggering those changes ?- how can that happen, you don't even know what is happening inside you!! Do you have any little bit of idea of how you can think, remember, execute, generate ideas and do all those things physical or otherwise the way you are doing? Do we have any such so-called "modern" science that can answer any of these questions? Are we atleast at 1% achievement in the direction of answering these questions? ...I don't think so!

West has ably strategized and planted confusion in the mind of a Hindu to feel ashamed of his religion.... and as anyone would know that harming a believer in a society that had only truthful people is such an easy job for crooked and wicked English people who learnt to win through deceiving people. This is what exactly happened in case of India. I'm trying to be honest like any Hindu, not worrying about someone would like it or not! Shame on all those souls who did the job of a demon!

But, I'm happy for the mother of all religions is only waiting like a true mother with infinite patience and good news is the sign of resurgence... and not much time is left for our mother to flaunt her effulgence to this world that is right now filled with greed, selfishness and wrath. My prayers to you O Mother of all, please flaunt your knowledge, radiance and glory on this society and save us from destruction of originally blissful beings!!! We are your children and be generous to us!!!

Also, these things can only help in making the belief more stronger and Hindusim will bounce back and only with 100 times more aggression to drown everyone in the ocean of bliss and devotion.

Waiting for time when the world bows down in respect for the real hindu...

POST BACK --------> I mean back into posting blogs ;)

2008-10-04T11:15:00.000-07:00

It has been long time now.....
But I'm back with my new post....My previous blogs inspired few people to start their own blog...
This looks quite surprising to me now, but !!!!!!

Life has always been the same.....but definitely many things unveiled themselves and they unveiled just to say that ...there's much more than what I can imagine...

One of my colleagues today says that he's in big difficulty....that which only time can solve....that which nobody can even expect and tolerate.....!
I was puzzled ....wanted to pray for him, i really don't know what is he undergoing?
He believes that only that which is destined to happen will happen....!

Though I don't completely disagree this, I can't accept it too!!! may be a contrasting thought makes me comfortable.....Keeping aside comfort, I want to re quote a statement of my previous blogs,

"Failure is temporary, it's only giving up that can make it permanent"

I also want to say one more famous punch line from the movie "Guru"..... it says "One thing can't be taken away from me(Guru bhai)"....that he says is his courage, courage to fight against all odds...

If we are giving up and loosing courage, what is human will all about?

But thinking on other side, above statement is like counting the fake coins having two sides,
"I can do" and "I can't do"...

Flipping the coins over, how could one know, what happens to will power when real heroes suffer bad times in life?

It's rightly said that only the one who is carrying the load can comment about it's weight!!!

However, undoubtedly I believe to say that it's Sankaraacharya's solution that can let us safely cross over the difficult times of life...

All his life, he succeeded in proving "advaita" philosophy and at the end he says it loud and clear to this world.....

God's Language!

2006-10-23T09:53:00.001-07:00

Just remembered a paragraph that I read long back, about the great Indian language...

The "concept of gravity" existed before it's discovery, is existing after it's discovery and would continue to exist even when the humanity forgets about it!!!

Thus, one can explain the concept of eternity!!!

Similarly, the eternal greatness of the long forgotten language (Sanskrit) exists...

Just as an indication of this, I remember an example:

Consider the word NA"RA"YANA which indicates the name of lord...
Lord is characterized by the omni presence and universal existence...

In the above name of the lord, if we remove the letter "RA", it becomes NA-AYANA which means "non-existence" just like an antonym of the "Omni presence"

Similarly, consider the panchakshari mantra- NA"MA" SIVAAYA
In the above if we remove the "MA" then the panchakshari becomes- NA SIVAAYA, which means the state of "with out siva" ( 'na' sivaaya)...

Now this is the difference......(we get the opposites of the existing words or phrases) when a letter of sanskrit is removed from the name / phrase!!!!

Now just consider the most important letters in the above examples and join them....

What did you get???

"RA" "MA".............RAMA
Scriptures say that the name of the lord "RAMA" is powerful enough to end the cycle of birth and death forever!!!

If single letter of sanskrit has this much to say, then what about the infinite knowledge encrypted in vedic hymns???

The Centipede!

2006-09-08T11:31:00.000-07:00

Yet another episode of ISKCON experience to me today...
An interesting happenstance this time...The same preacher, about whom I wrote in my previous blog, came for a spiritual discourse or satsang...

The discussion was about 18 principles which should be followed during delivering service to the lord...
These 18 principles (viz., honesty, tolerence, devotion, etc.,) were explained with the help of an instance where Chaitanya Maha Prabhu taught his desciples about sacrifice in service...(Jagannath Rath Yatra's origin instance)

I got an interesting and convincing answer for the doubt I raised to him:
A doubt cropped up in my mind, when he said that in service to the lord, we should not dwell upon mistakes (that are bound to occur), but forget the mistakes and should go forward without putting rocket logic about 'why this discrepency has occured?'...

I enquired him, why shouldn't one analyse the mistake and correct it next time, so that desired perfection in service could be achieved...
My question was theoritically flawless, but I'm convinced by his answer because, it contained the practicality aspect...
He told that we can analyse the mistakes to some extent, but so called thorough analysis is potent enough to disturb the ultimate goal of serving the lord...and narrated a small story of centipede and frog...

Paralysis by Analysis:
Once upon a time there was a frog and a centipede...
The frog hated the centipede and constantly tried to trip him up. The centipede, however, moved so fast because of his many legs that the frog could never catch him. One day when the frog saw the centipede walking down the street the frog called out, “Hey Mr. Centipede”. The centipede stopped. “Yes?” “I have been wondering for a long time when you walk, which foot do you put first? I am so impressed. With all those legs how do you know which foot to put first? When you are managing to do such a great thing, you should be defenitely having some formula for the movement of your legs...”

The centipede stopped, scratched his head and responded, ‘Oh gee Mr. Frog I never thought about it'.... And from that day the centipede started analysing movement of each leg in an attempt to figure out, which leg is moving first and what is the sequence!!!...and finally the centipede could never succeed to walk like before...

So, a balanced analysis can be made...but well within the limits...

The Protocol !!!

2006-08-26T10:19:00.000-07:00

There are many slips between a cup and a lip...
I had one today...I was not offered the long awaited and Promised Pre Placement Offer (P3O) from maruti udyog...
a cause of transition from "amusement" to "bemusement"

However, it reminded me a long forgotten lesson (taught by my elder brother)...

The Response to Change
The change I meant here is the (unexpected) slip!!!
-The fastness in "response to such change" determines your future

My intution added some more words beyond this...
-Respond in a fast, efficient and effective manner!

Now that I should sit for the final placements (NITIE's formal battle field), my efficiency in "response to change" determines my future...
How to justify my intuitive frat (efficiency and effectiveness)?
I found these steps to answer this:

1. Explore (the options)
2. Prioritize
3. Act

...and then the statement is proved -

"You are the creator of your own destiny" (Vivekananda)

Now, I would like to point out the hidden "strategy" aspect.
The perceived "change" is after all an outcome of strategy...and this change can be:

1. Expected - This means that initial strategy was correct!
2. Unexpected - This means that somewhere initial strategy had a flaw!

A correct strategy gives an expected(sometimes desired) change.....and a normal response will suffice...
But if the strategy had a flaw...we face an unexpected change and in such a situation, above protocol should be followed... :)

Too heavy to be called a dose?

Mind manifestations

2006-08-21T04:34:00.000-07:00

Today, I read an article which says about the mind and it's different states...
I'm very much convinced with the analysis and thus presenting it here...
It says that the mind manifests itself in five conditions:

1. Scattering
2. Darkening
3. Gathering
4. One pointed
5. Concentrated

Scatering form of mind is activity. It's tendency is to manifest in the form of pleasure or in the form of pain. It can be said that in this state of mind rajoguna which resembles passion is dominating among the three characteristics of the mind.

The darkening form is dullness which tends to injury. This state can be said as a tamsik state of mind. In this state one is in a terrible ignorance.

The gathering form is the when the mind struggles to center itself.

The one-pointed form is when the mind tries to concentrate and develops the art of focussing towards the goal.

The concentrated form is what brings the mind into the so called samadhi (as called in yoga)...
or we can understand this state in the situation when arjuna was asked to hit the eye of the bird by draunachaarya and this saadhak saw nothing else other than the bird's eye!!!

The terminology is meant for Yogic practitioners....but this applies to us as well!

Till the stage when we are in the first two states, we can never succeed.
Most of us are in the third state...where we always 'try to gather'....but in vain
Finally when we get into the fourth state, we learn the art of focussing and this always leads us into the shortest and glorious path to success.....

Thus the final state reaches... for which I've no words to write about!!!!

Inspiring...

2006-08-18T00:39:00.000-07:00

The following was actually written for publishing in my new blog...
But somehow, creating the new blog failed and I copied the content here again...
When my ideas siphon out of me....I loose the control
Thanks to google for providing a container to my mind that always is on an urge to go hither and tither!

This flow on this page is triggered by a caption in gtalk -
"Defeat is a temporary situation, its giving up that makes it permenant"

As rightly said, defeat is like a cloud which is a temporary phase...
and every cloud has a silver lining....that is what is hope...

When one looses the hope and gives up...thats the end.
Loosing hope closes the options and puts us in a help less, panic situation
It is like a vicous circle that gives the vicious kicks all through the panic situation...and it succeeds to continue...

Swami Vivekananda rightly said the "Monkey" example:

Once he faced a situation where he had to pass through a bunch of monkeys on his way. His 'serene' mind was disturbed and lost the balance which made him stumble and he started moving in a rampant manner...The monkeys increased their pace of disturbing actions and it continued until a saviour came and energized the yogi with words that taught him not to swerve what come may...
He realized that their energy is in his weakness...

Same thing applies in real life situations also...
We can realize that even the great saint Vivekananda was like you and me when his mind lost the balance...

None is impeccant in the present life or in the previous lives...it is our resolve that makes the difference...

The Patriotic Expenditure...

2006-08-17T10:16:00.000-07:00

Here I got an e-mail....which says that buying poducts of non-Indian companies devalue the rupee!!!

I don't really know the authenticity/relevance of the information...but yes, it is for sure that Indian customers are encouraging the non-Indian brands more than the Indian brands (Ofcourse because of the quality aspect).
The author argues that the Indian rupee is devalued by an amount of Rs.5 as compared to the Canadian dollar, in just 5 months....and that this devaluation of the currency effects the price hike in the petroleum products in the country!!!!...
and that the rupee devaluation is caused because of the Indian economy which is slipping down...
One of the reasons for this 'slipping pride' of the Indian economy is that, more than Rs. 30,000 crores(per year) are being siphoned out of the country as people buy the products made by the non-Indian companies...

I'm really surprised about the above set of statements and really not in a state to comment on this issue!

Anyway, the mail had an impact on me....which made me buy a "Medimix" soap (today) and not "Lux" (which was my choice for more than 12 months)

Well.....If we are going to give preference to nationality and not the quality of the product....
then ...one statement justifies everything-

"It happens only in India".....Great India
"JaiBharat"

A success story!!!

2006-08-15T06:10:00.000-07:00

I just read through an article that is published in today's Financial Express...
A proud story about an Indian woman....Indra Nooyi...
Here is a brief history about her...She was born in 1955 to a middle class family in Tamil Nadu. Having done her B.Sc in Chennai, she extended her student life into IIM, Kolkata for an MBA degree...

After her MBA, she worked with Johnson & Johnson and Mettur Beardsell for 2 years...
Next...Planning for higher studies, she went to Yale University...and slowly made progress in her career by working for companies like Boston Consulting Group, Motorola etc. and landed up into Pepsi Co., as Senior Vice-president for "corporate strategy and strategic marketing" in 1994. Ms. Nooyi joining Pepsi Co., is regarded as one of the best things that has happened to the company.

She was responsible for Pepsi Co's some of the biggest aquisitions in the past....like that of Tropicana (fruit juice major) and Quaker Oats Ltd. (America's largest food chain company)...

Finally ......a proud Indian, who is very religious.........who flaunts her Indianness wherever she goes, and a mother of two children...

Now in a situation where in India is grappling with controversy over pesticides in colas and it's impact on FDI (as hinted by the US), Ms. Nooyi has been appointed as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the world's second largest beverage company!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this a strategy or a merit perk!!!!

Hare Krishna!

2006-08-11T12:16:00.001-07:00

This evening was a pleasent one with my visit to the satsang organized by the ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness).
Here came a guruji for delivering a speech realted to spiritual life...
The speech was quite impressive and I observed a set of things in this charming (tejomaya) human being...
1. Clear thought. Filled with energy
2. Eyes that reflect the inner confidence and happiness
3. The mind in a state of freedom...and much more

I felt that I was taken on to a different plane while he was explaining the 'spiritual concepts'...
He made some statements that had an indelible impact on me. One of them was regarding the 'maya' which makes us believe that this material world is everything that we have and that it is real.
He put this point like this: There are two mistakes that we do which makes us believe that this world is real...
1. Thinking that 'I can do' and
2. Thinking that 'I can't do' (for whatever reason it may be!)

These two things he says are the two sides of a same coin (and this coin is called ego)
and that Lord Krishna was trying to say arjuna all through the Geetha that this coin itself is a fake one!!!!!
and that the doer is not you!!!

Another discussion (which I had with one of the followers) has uncovered some more information regarding the religion and the types of proofs one could give...
In any way to prove something, there can be three types of attempts:
1. Pratyaksha pramaan
2. Anumana pramaan
3. Shabda pramaan
In a small example, if you need to prove that water is there in the jug,
-then according to the first one, you can show the other that there is water
-according to the second one, you can make some sound from the jug and say that there is water in the jug....( it may or may not be water....because all liquids can make similar sound)
-according to the third pramaan, one just says that there is water in the jug and that should be believed...

So in this world the third one is most powerful and influential...

Fortunately or unfortunately the religion has also come from the shabd prmaan through ages and the decision is upto you whether to believe it or not...

I would like to make a statement here...."The almighty can't be compared to the water in a jug..."
and so the first option can be totally ruled out...
while the second can be considered (that too after a lot of saadhana) and the only option that we have is the last one and thus, first believe it...
and next start exploring the (seemingly) impossible one!!!

"Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare"

My futile attempts!!!

2006-08-06T01:27:00.000-07:00

It was a boring day all through (2 days before...)
"An idle man's brain is a devil's workshop"...and my brain passed through the most familiar rotten ideas of the world....jumping here and there just like a monkey fueled with wine!
In the evening, I went on for a stroll till the outer gate of our campus... and an idea suddenly struck to me.......

I wondered why shouldn't I spend my evening in such a place that can help me do away with the stale!!!
The place that came to my mind immediately was the ISKON temple, which I never tried to go, but always wanted to...and immediately called my brother to get the how to and where to information...
Now having known the information, only going to the destination was pending.... I got the required bus ....from there I needed to travel in the mumbai local for reaching the destination.....I was so happy that though my mind thought of some stinking and 'tamsik' thing, it is not turning on in real life...
Instead, I found myself traveling on a more refined and proven right path....!!! finally I reached the location (bandra) as said by my bro...
I started inquiring the autowalas about the temple....and I discovered that the 'where to and how to' information was wrong!!!
I spent the time that evening in the bay at the bandstand beach...and slowly returned to the room....but one of my colleagues gave me a hope as soon I returned....
He said he will be going to the place I intended to go the day after tomorrow... (i.e., today)
and today...with a lot of hope I got ready and wanted to go there and went till the local train station and now we found that the trains are stopped in mumbai due to heavy raining for the last two days!!!

One thing is for sure....
"You can get in to classroom only when the teacher allows you to..."
Similar is the case with temple also...

This was an expected one!!!

2006-08-02T03:10:00.000-07:00

Till date, never I learnt the importance of expressing myself through blogs...
When I was slowly discovering the same in my previous posts, blogging was stopped in my country!!!

Something of this sort was expected by me at the very begining (when I started blogging) ....

It was my experience that made me expect that...
When I start something which I neglected for many days...something abnormal happens for sure!!!
I'm a negligent guy....trying to improve towards perfection and sincerity....!
Keeping apart my attempts to improve.....let me tell you something abnormal that has occured in some other situation....

I was least bothered to attend to the classes (during my b.tech.), and I used to be regularly irregular to classes ;) and more so, though I used to attend some classes, I used to be late...
One day with a firm determination, I went 15 mins prior to the commencement of the class....
All my friends and classmates were surprised to see me at that early minute!!!
As something unnatural should occur, suddenly college was closed on the day next to my achievement day...
Can anybody guess the reason for the closure of the college on the 'day next' ?????.....there was a low pressure in the region and a heavy down-pour that night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The day when college reopened, my classmates requested me never to come on time again!!!
What to do....this society doesn't allow me to improve...!!! ;)

Frnds...I know that it was a shere coincidence.....but what can one say about some serial coincidences that follow the 'reforming me'?

Let's see if I can finally change myself !!!

"I'LL BE PERFECT AT THE END AND IT WON'T END TILL I BECOME PERFECT"

Where is the fault???

2006-07-17T00:11:00.000-07:00

The secret of all the successful Govts of this world is to adopt a proactive and intelligent approach.
I would say Indian Govt. (irrespective of the ruling party) can be considered as laggard in this regard...
This can be proved by the series of failures on 9th, 10th and 11th of july....
May be this is not a comment on a single person or a single Govt. or a single party...
I stay in mumbai and before the serial bomb blasts, the city was in a rambunctious state because of the shivsena's 'riots'....
During 9th and 10th, failures hit the Defence and Space Departments of the country......
9th - Agni test firing failed
10th - GSLV launch failed
and on 11th mumbai was shook from top to bottom by the serial blasts...
Now....the western railways in which bomb blasts occured is equipped with security cameras....
There shouldn't be any doubt in saying that this is a reactive approach....
Does these Govt. bodies need a bomb blast (and more than 64 lives) to know that there is a need for security cameras...
Shouldn't we be ashamed to say that these anti-social elements are more proactive and motivated than our Govt. bodies?
