JEHAD

Jehad an Islamic term, is a religious duty of muslims. But come today it has gone to mean a mask to cover all despicable acts in the name of religion. Can we help hating the religion that has come to be recognized as the mascot of terrorism. It may sound very much discriminating but if you look at the sort of events happening of late we cannot close our eyes to the fact that more than 95% of terrorism is undeniably 'jehad'. If the religion teaches it's people to destrop the world shouldn't the world join as one and eliminate this nuisance of a teaching. There may be many that say Kuran does not teach this or that people are bending it for their own use and misguiding. But I say hell with it. Do you think that your hand is not spreading poison intentionally .. if it poisoning your body however tough the decision maybe you will always decide to chop it off. And that is what needs to be done. The problem is a religion is not as easy to chop off as a hand of a poor man. There are all sorts of compassionate issues involved and humanity bites us. But if we want the world to live we need to eliminate muslim or at least let them know that they will be eliminated if they continue to thread this unbelievingly ruthless way of destroying the world they themselves live in. We may at least seal off all support to any country that is a declared islamic nation. For instance bleed them economically starve them and isolate them. And well if you decide to thread this path i m sure there is enough way to get the thing done once the world leaders sit on this with their manipulative minds set on this! :D

THE FLASK OF LIFE

Life can be seen as a flask with the water in it a measure of our immaturity. We begin life with our flasks full - ever so innocent. Every deception we encounter, every emotional dent and every bad experience in life is a dent n the flask which leads to the water leaking hence decreasing our immaturity. But the love and selfless love is the rain that refills our flask. The aim in life is to have a half full flask, not completely full to senseless immaturity and neither empty that would be of a emotionally empty person.

Sports In India

Everytime some international sporting event takes place India stands behind in the long queue abashed. And we the 'patriotic' Indians start out blaming the government and the system for the deplorable conditions of sports here. But what do we do if some one really perform at the center stage? We give the individual cash prizes and endorsement deals. Make him a superstar. But how exactly does that help sports in the country - if that's what the prizes are for. Or is the prize just a lottery for being one of the thousands gifted one who can achieve something even after being held back by the lack of facilities. Wouldn't we be better to give him funds to achieve better results.. sponsoring for a coach et al. Another fact that is sad is the lack of sight with people in anything beyond cricket. We may raise a hue and cry over the lack of results but what do we do where indians do get something. India has some hold in chess and billiards for instance. chess being an intelligent game it is somewhat understandable that the people do not really make it one of the most popular ones. But billiards.. amazing is the fact that in the last world championship the top 4 finishing individuals were all Indians. But still there is no interest in the sport. Is it just that we want people to get medals in our country's name so that we can snub the game for not being cricket ?!

Ta ta to growth

What the hell is the matter with bengal. Bengal takes pride in it's glorious past and is making sure that it's future son's n daughters will have nothing else to do either. They are so hell bent on preventing anyone do anything productive that we feel like giving them recognition for being unbiased at least. The fact that a sizeable portion of the citizen give credence to the hails of a mad /manipulative out of work woman is a pity. The fact remains that in order to make a factory industrialist need land and lets face it - it's a necessary evil .. we cant do without these factories. But it does not mean that all is fair.. no the farmers have every right to demand better compensation for their homes/land. So protest for that . demand better. a more fair compensation. Democracy is a thing that when overused can only give diarrhea to the nation. When the majority of people have given in to the proposal the so called messiah of the oppressed may come in and help them get a better deal. But thats not the intention here. All she wants ,as any other politician (who can blame her if the people here are that much more dumber) is to get political points. So she comes in and says that the tata pack their bags and leave the poor ole farmers to tile their lands. But then why are CMs of 10 other states unabatedly waiting with garlands in their hands ??? Its not that these CM are ideal politicians or some such extinct species. Simple the people elsewhere are more sensible today and their success is more dependent on the goods they deliver. So a simple solution to to a chunk of the problems in here is that the voters become a bit sensible.

What's the difference between a man and a machine

Listing out the present comparison vis-a-vis the man and the machine is not the theme here. What i m hinting at is the fundamental difference the psychology if you may. The present machine is better at some stuff and the man is better at some (mostly the mushy stuff.. drawing a parallel with the comparison of male v/s female) But the thing is that whatever the deficiencies of machine is right now..there are enough people working at them to have them sorted out in the near future. Then what .. machines will be the master a la 'The Matrix'. Not quite - the human mind is revolving at a fast pace as well ... we may think that the pace evolution is akin to that of a snail... We it is not . The difference in awareness and intellectual/knowledge levels among the kids today and the one before them is fairly noteworthy. So the main question was what is so different in the man and the machine. The man may be weak physically, slow mentally and vulnerable in an array of ways. But the thing is that the human mind is a tortoise .. slow and steady ..it has the capability to think beyond the means presented to him ... something that no machine however advanced can. The human mind may be slow that it needs more time to add simple numbers but it sure can devise a way to get the job done. The human mind on its own may come out a bit weak but coupled with a bit of spirit it can work wonders. The adrenaline factor is one that only makes us do the impossible. The machine on the other hand will shut off faced with an impossible task !

The World Today

We have learned to look the other way when something wrong happens in front of us or even to us and our loved ones. We are helpless we believe. But if such is the case .. when all of us are helpless, then why is the human such hyped to be such a mighty one? Life today is not really about living rather on surviving. Living is when you feel good about yourself, the world you live in. Rather survival is what we are doing. We have ensconced so to say in this world of corruption, lies and violence but that is not we can ever be comfortable with ever. We follow not the principle of right being always right but try to survive with all our might. The terrorism that we have witnessed growing over the past 10-15 years the world over - well there is no solution in sight. Many of us may believe in the fantasy that almost all sci-fi authors portray - the near demise of human race and from the brink the rise of a perfect society free of violence and with peace loving sensible denizens. Seeing the recent events i have realized this is just hoping for the sake of hope. We hope that this violence will peak one day and soon it will be finished.. just like we hope some guy in a lab suit will get a solution for the cancer and AIDS.. Well humans are not as easy as viruses. As long as there are people on the lower stratum of society and a few manipulative men ..there will be enough issues to keep the terror race running.

Why valiant effort?

There are some people who really try hard at digging out the truth behind the existence of human life and all related questions. But most of the populace tend to ignore the burning doubts and live on in bliss - ignoring all that is unknown. Well we know for sure that there can be no absolute and indisputable answer to our doubts .. basically nothing credible can be established in this matter. Why we exist, does God exist ..if yes then which one.. et cetra.. So the question now is - whether we should rather leave these doubts and go on in life or keep on shoving the plastic shovel on the rock of doubts.

Power of Love vis-a-vis Power of Hate

love and hate are the major 2 emotions of the human psyche.. together they are responsible for almost all of our decisions... but which is more powerful.. it's quite hard resisting the temptation to say it's love that rules... but well the answer i believe is both. it depends on the person.. it all depends on what you want to be. hate can be a mean brute force that compels you to work hard to achieve your goal and to reach new heights. You may harm some people in the way..but that is just what you are. Love.. well the power of love is insurmountable..people can achieve the impossible for love. On the other hand hate can destroy you and the object of your affection alike. Similarly love may sometimes be more of a chain on the legs of a bird flapping it wings to fly ..in vain.!
So the question I believe is not the driving force but the result - the output that comes from it.

Love is good if you can love well and same is true for hate.

Family Love

How can anyone be expected to love everyone leave alone everyone loving everyone. That's what the family is about. That why I find it amazing how the system still works. In the subdued world it was quite easier to work - but now with the people gaining more freedom of opinion and voicing their choices. Still there are functional extended families in existence today. Why/How does that happen? This questions stumps me.. if you think you know the answer do let me know..

Agnostics n Buddhism

Buddhism is the only major religion founded by a non super human being. By a great though common man (though the powers that be cannot let that be and have called him the 9th incarnation of Vishnu..). What we do not realize is that this may perhaps be the only pure religion unadulterated (well least adulterated at least) by individualistic propaganda, unlike all other. This is why it makes more sense to the thinking person and less to the multitude of ignorant public. As I see it, it speaks more of compassion, truthfulness and inner power. The implementation of the ideals may still not find favor with many people today but not many can deny the ideals it opinionated. What is somewhat sad is that Buddha the man who taught the strength and greatness inside each man and they philosophy has been made into a religion with ground rules. Well as Buddha suggested listening to the rule of conscious was the only rule required. Well i find the ideals quite close to the ideal of the Agnostics. They do not care about some important debatable matters (like who's God best) and rather tend to listen to whatever their heart tells is the right thing to do.
