Opposing Opinions

Whenever we face opposing opinions, we lash back at the individual who is opposing us. We don’t expect anyone to nudge our singular advice. So our reactions are sometimes violent or outrageous.

Self-opinionated people think that wh

Should You Celebrate?

I came across a blog where the lady asked why do we have to celebrate some festival or the other? First of all the reason why we should celebrate is not for our own sake but for the reason the day is there. We celebrate Independence day because we got that, Gandhi jayanti for the Great Persona's day, Diwali for defeat of evil, Xmas for the birth of Jesus and so on. Similarly we celebrate our own birthday and anniversaries too, even the day we met our s/o's .The celebrations have nothing to do with the festivities but we adapt according to the ways of the world. There was no loud music earlier but music like shehnai and dholaks were played. The elders were respected and bowed down to. There were hardly any fireworks but now there are and we light fireworks. Can we tell the Chinese not to light then during their festivities? Or the special playfulness at Halloween? We have celebrated Ganesha in a sarvajanik(community) way in Mumbai, where the youngsters gather funds from one and ...

The Craving

Nearly ten years ago I used to go about like a mad man searching for the love of my life and I could never co relate to any human being then or any other. I never could understand what it is that I wanted to see or relate to in my life. I was completely distraught and had absolutely no clue what it is I was after then. That was then my search and quest for the spiritual. My wife used to say that if there was some woman in my life she could fight it but some invisible God she could not fight at all. Everyday was a nightmare then. I roamed about the streets and used up so many contacts searching for God. The ones that I visited could never satisfy my deep craving for the Lord. It was the most horrendous time for the family then. They had to face my uncontrollable anger then. I changed Gurus after Gurus just to find out whether the newer one could take me ahead in my quest. I never slept, never ate well, anger seemed to ride me all day long. Why that anger was there I could never fathom. ...

Time To Move On

In our material world things deteriorate faster than you can imagine. Relationships go down faster than objects. A car nowadays becomes older in a few years but a laptop becomes ancient in a matter of few weeks. Even the cellphone does not stand the vagaries of time. Life has become too fast for words and the time for moving on has become shorter by the day. Even kids move out faster today than earlier. I remember when my French friend asked me when I was moving out of my house, I was aghast at that question but when she moved on at the age of 16 to Nantes from her village in France I was wondering whether such a thing will ever happen in India. Now that it does nothing surprises me any more. Now when we look at relationships in our age, they are flimsier than the will'o'wisps! Getting married has become a fashion and then it is all about this is mine and that is yours. No one is ever able to contend with someone who does not work for or in the relationship. I was surprised to ...
