Of chauvinism and true national spirit...

This is in response to the views of those citizens (politicians included) who are debating about the building of Ram Temple or Mosque in Ayodhya ...

No temple or mosque needs to be built to prove the existence of God or the religion. We have so many more issues to be addressed as a nation such as poverty,unemployment, under-nourised children, destitute masses, etc . Instead of thinking about these tasks we need to tackle as responsible citizens, why are we wasting time discussing about a temple or a mosque. A truly concerned and patriotic Indian would rather think of building a charitable institution for the homeless, poor, orphans. It could be a community hospital, an orphanage or a school for the children from economically backward families. Its a plea to the citizens ( politicians included) of India - "Our country needs help, in this difficult phase, do not let it bleed in the name of religion. Instead prove that the foundation on which our constitution is built is strong and the fundamentals of democracy and secularism are still held high in Independent India."

We are just forgetting the years of toil of hundreds of patriots for over a century to bring Independent India to existence... and instead contributing to the instability in the country.
Why are we forgetting over and over again with time that "Freedom is not attained for free" ??

Shouldn't we draw a line now???

Madhur Bhandarkar’s latest directorial, ‘Fashion’, primarily focuses on revealing the dark side of the fashion industry about which many youngsters aspiring to be a part of are unaware. The attempt was really appreciable as it is an eye-opener to the ignorant lot who believe that the industry is only glitz and glamour. Besides the many harsh realities showcased in the movie about this industry, it has been instrumental in displaying the adulteration of ethics in other professions. I was totally repulsed watching one particular scene in the film where the media (television and print) crosses its ethical limits to tarnish the reputation of a young model who happened to be involved in an unfortunate accident while walking the ramp in a show. Character assassination is a very common term when it concerns today’s media. Be it Aarushi Talwar or this ill-fated model. Besides this, some so-called “news” channels have simply lost track of what they ought to cover. A couple of months back it was...

The Divine design...

Somebody’s got to think out of the box… Somebody’s got to ponder over things that everyone does not… Somebody’s got to talk of the rhythm of silence… There is nothing right or wrong about any poem, about any form of expression. Its just a reflection of the thought-flow in the brook of one’s mind… It’s just the way the colors spurt across the canvass of one’s mind… And the thoughts that flow cannot be right or wrong. No one is to be blamed.. no one can be blamed. It is all the way everyone is designed. Just the way you and I are… It’s His mighty creation to make the people the way they are… Some are like you…who can’t grow out of conventionality… Some, like me…surrounded by the barriers of conventionality and yet yearns to think beyond it… and mentally… A maverick… Some like her… who has crossed all borders, all frontiers of conformism…who has drank the wine of unconventionality… and who expresses herself as a Maverick … in the true sense of its word… She can’t be blamed… she must not b...

If Everyone Cared...

This is a must watch video for everyone... Truly inspiring one... The lyrics say it all, I don't need more words to express the theme... "Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
