One liners!

Man made Rules, God Followed - God never made rules for what we believe the rules are made by us in the name of God. Rules are meant to exist to bring peace and harmony in the human life, however at times these same rules bring havoc in human life. Moreover these rules are even bent by the illiterate high humans for their individual benefits which adds more pain to already agonized human. In this Godless yug, God follows all the rules made by a man, as we no more fear God, but the Man..

October 2

Today a tremendous force on my soul is making me write this post. Time ticks as usual, life goes on as usual, however 2 jewels appeared on October 2, which makes this day highly special. And both Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri worked for common cause nation building, building a 'Rama Rajya'.

Gandhiji's fight for equality in South Africa gave hope not only to people of South Africa but as well to India with the able leader who can fight for his people fearlessly. The mantra Raghupati Raghava Raja Raam... eased him to bring much needed unity among the nation. I believe just the truth and non violence are not the key attributes defining him, but the love and fearlessness made him stronger. Looking at today's state of our country, I feel the much needed Gandhi in us is missing. It is a pity that people go to the temple to beg God (not pray) and for only selfish benefits, donate money not belonging to his, and even politicize the temple environment.

On the other hand, Lal Bahadur Shastri not only brought us the food self sufficiency with green revolution, but also identified the need for nation security with this mantra 'Jai Jawan Jai Kisan'. Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi and Bal Gangadhar Tilak, he dedicated his life for this nation.

I hope we recognize their efforts really from our hearts one day, but putting their values in our daily life, and not just in the speaches. The day will be a real enlightening of human values in us.

Be eccentric!! But be good!!


MAN O Mystic ANimal!!


Sometimes, we wonder what makes man so special that he is beyond animals. Then we wonder what makes few men so special that he is beyond other men.

We all live in a society. Society based on country, society based on caste and religion, society based on the class and color, society based on our activities and so on. Even animals live in society. We have not understood the plants behavior yet, however they too live in groups, may be we call them as society? Basically what I mean to say here is that all of us live in a society. Society, which defines the common goals, rules, what to do and what not to...

With time, every one are completely obsessed with these rules and society. Many a times we are so much bound by the rules of society that we don't really see the other side of the truth. We are so much engulfed by these rules and bindings that we keep ourselves limited. We even stop or oppose the person going out of this box.

But if we read few pages in the past, we see many successful minds have come outside of this mindset, many broke the rules and many have even gone one step further by fighting against the rules of society. Their intention is good, but their thinking and actions are very different from what others do. We call them eccentric... out of mind! But It is this eccentricity which allows them to do what they want to do!!

Movie "3 idiots" is a very good example of this.
