Take a moment to think for - India

"At the stroke of midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom."

64 years ago, India did get free from the shackles of bondage of the British Empire but only to get bonded again in the shackles of vote bank politics, corruption, uncontrolled population, and division of the people on the basis of religions and caste.
We did gain the freedom to choose our government but lost the freedom to have a say in the way the country is being run.
We did gain our rights but lost the knowledge of importance of our duties towards the country.
We got our Independence by paying the cost of getting ourselves divided into 3 parts, and a forever hatred between the these 3 countries.
Our forefathers lay down their lives so that we could get a country that was free of the bondage of others, and all we did was throw that spirit away and become selfish.
We say that the countries that ruled us. looted us but do we have the right to say that? Haven't we done the same. Looted our own countrymen?
On this day we should ask ourselves... is this what our forefathers meant by the word "Independence"
To quote Kennedy:

"Ask not what the country has done for you,
Ask what you have done for the country"

We have got so used the state of the country that everything has become a part of life, the terrorism, the corruption, the incompetence of the government.
We all say that the government is bad.. but have WE made an effort to change the government? How many of us actually vote?
Take some time out, and do think, that its our country, our Motherland, and its WE who needs to do something for the country.

My own definition of Life!!!!

LIFE : its a journey that takes us through the hills of happiness and valleys of sorrow..

through the colourful meadows of love and deserts of solitude...

where all the experiences teach us many important things... and make us what we are...

in this journey we meet many people who make our life better or we do that for them.. but one thing is common.. we come to know what love, friendship, hate, anger, despair and all the emotions are...

and when this journey ends,,, we are a better person in all aspects... and are a step closure to the divine energy of this VAST universe...

Confusion

Sometimes in life we get so much confused as to what to do.. but a bigger confusion comes in the form when in don't even know what we expect from ourselves... We see people going bout here and there all around us.. they are so confident cause they know what they want.

At such a point.. when we are so much confused... whom should we turn to? Would that person be able to understand the problem and help us out of it?These are the questions that make our condition worse..

At these times i feel we should try to listen to ourselves... our inner self.. and try to work out everything.. we should do this without having any expectations.. and we used release all the trapped energy inside us in some way or another.. so that the energy could be used in a positive way...

If even this does not help we should pick up one person and speak ourselves out..

I'm still not sure which works the best for me... and i know there are many people like me who are in the same situation... so what do you guys think? what should we do in such a condition

?

Fate!

Fate!!! How many of us believe in this word? Few of us... at least from the present generation. But have we ever given a serious thought to it? Have we ever argued with points for or against it? No.. we haven't. So when should we do that or rather should we ever do that? What do we basically relate the word "fate" to?
When something bad happens we usually say that it was written by our fate, but when something good happens we say that we deserved it. Those who do not believe at all in "fate" always say that things only happen when you pave the path for letting them happen. Isn't paving the path for our future the same as laying the stepping stone for the "fate" of our future?
I believe that "fate" is not something that the God has chosen for us, but what we have chosen for ourselves by our own actions. Don't you agree too?

Pups!!

Pups! They are so innocent, so full of life.

When we walk down a street we see so many pups playing around, some of them just playing with each other.. some of them running behind their mother to get fed.. and some of them just lying lazily in the sun. These small little creatures are so beautiful and so full of vibrant energy that they keep bouncing from one place to another, sometimes eve being brave enough to walk with us at our heels and try to play with us. All of us love them so much.

They come to our heels with hearts full of hope that they’ll get love from us, a smooth caressing but instead of giving them a part of our love we shove them away or even sometimes kick them, breaking their small innocent hearts… How can we be so heartless? So inhuman?

Those small innocent ones need our love and support to grow… After all Dogs are man’s best friend… then why cant we become their best friends?

The small pups are speechless but they speak the universal language of love.. let us all try to understand their language and spread this to the whole world!

Exams!

Exams are such an important part of life. In fact life examines us each and every day by throwing some small or big problems at us, then why are we so much afraid of the word "EXAM". We should have made friends with exams till now. Since its the exams( or we can say problems in context of our daily lives) that tell us our true potential and our weak points so that we can work on the weak points and convert them into our strong ones and improve on our strong ones.

Life will be so meaningless without these small and big exams. If these aren't there how will we be able to appreciate the shear strength that we have inside us...

Isn't that all the buzz happens when the exams are going on... All the students start trying their limits of potential and even try to extend the limit as much as they can... Isn't it that our brain works more when there is some kind of problem...

These exams/problems wake us up from our dormant state and make so active.


Exam! They are so beautiful... so full of life!

Happiness..

One day sitting,i was thinking.. why does someone who has got everything that one wants is still not happy and then on the other hand one who has got noting that he/she wanted but still happy and so much happy that the happiness radiates from the person's face? I started pondering on different cases i had come across and tried to analysis the answer to the question that i had in my mind, but couldn't come to any conclusion and left the matter there only for the moment.

I had heard many people saying that even though you are in any pain and you help someone else then you'll experience a real happiness within you but didnt actually believe it... but now since it has happened with me.. i really believe in in the saying "the real happiness lies in helping other"
