My unending denials and your Grace!!!

By -
Image
  I have been blessed in more ways than I can count, in more areas than I deserve, in more methods I can imagine. I have a differently wired brain, which can believe all nonsense the fantasy drama world spews, but cannot still accept the grace and miracles I have witnessed. This is in no way to prove just how lucky I am. But I believe we all tend to witness his grace in our life, but we all ignore it in the hustle we called the struggles of life. I denied his grace first when I was safe in travelling alone late at night. I denied his grace when I took help from strangers and was unharmed. I denied his grace when I got help out of nowhere. I denied it again when I woke up everyday with something to look forward to. His first manifestation in my life was in the form of stars and the unending sky. To this day they give me comfort for some unknown reasons which I would love to believe as on his behest. Then his manifestation in the people I met and emotions I felt. Then the final form was

Secularism and Me !!

By -
Image
 I have this constant tussle within if I am secular or I am not, finally I am able to clearly say that the I do not subscribe to the current construct of Secularism.  The book definition of being secular is not related to Religion. I am a person with religious belief. The definition of secularism is " the belief that religion should not influence or be involved in the organization of society, education, government, etc." . Secularism by definition does not exist, at least not in India. We have clear distinction in policies and rights based on Religion. Now when I am living in a world where religion dictates policies, rights, and politics, can anyone be secular.  Why I chose to disassociate myself from the current secular scenario: Since the right-wing political party came into view, I have only seen people with propagandas against my religion, which is right now the majority. Let's look at them from my lens: Sabarimala: Petition was filed by Indian Young Lawyers’

Diversity

 What is "Diversity"?  Lets' carry out a thought experiment. If you hail from, say, Delhi, and are in the same room as another person hailing from, say, Hyderabad, both of you may seem as "different" to each other. If that room were in, say, Japan, suddenly, the mutual differences would dissolve and the Japanese people might start to seem "different" to you. You might even begin to appreciate that you are not as different from the other person at all!  Let's extend the thought further. Say you become good friends with and is joined by a Japanese person in your room. You have advanced  technologically and are now a space faring species, the "room" is your spaceship, and you come face to face with an alien life form, would you still address yourself using your nationalities? Leave aside nationality, If you are like me, even species would not matter! In fact, you would probably have "one" name for all the habitants of earth, includ

My two Cents on Indo-Sino situation

By -
Image
How the situation was and is now 1) Before April there was no alarming deployment of PLA at the Chinese side. Indian side of LAC was also business as usual. 2) There is a buffer zone along LAC at both Indian and Chinese side which is non militarized,i.e. no deployment of troops from either side. This buffer zone  is patrolled  by both Chinese and Indian troops unarmed. 3) Around April-May India was in a lock down. Due to logistical issues and to prevent  COVID  the armed forces were not maintaining enough troops at the LAC for patrol. 4) PLA got an opportunity and set up settlements along LAC in the buffer zone. These settlements at heights overlook the  DBOS  road and allow PLA to dominate the area. 5) India realized late what's happening and countered by buffeting its deployments. 6) In the various engagements with Chinese, India sought to restore the  status quo  as of March.  Chinese are already in an advantageous position and technically still

Creation and establishment of Hindu Terriorism

By -
There is a new trend I have been witnessing these days, which is about Hindu Terrorism, with the gaining popularity of BJP and RSS backed government, people are working to coin a new face for fear called Hindu Terror groups/ Hindu Terror outfits/ Hindu terrorism/ Bhagva gang and so many others. The list of its promoters include a lot of politicians and people of film fraternity or people who think they are creative and want to exercise their rights to complaint and create issues where there are none. Why such a sudden rise? I believe people have just realized how much hidden patience and potential is there in the Hindu sect and before they loose it, few people have taken it to them to show them a mirror of what things can become or check them before a major blow. Why Such a need: 1) look at the way Muslim terror groups work, these so called liberals have never pointed out to them but have a belief that Hindus can actually be more dangerous than this present form of terrorism an

Growth Milestones and Social Pressure

By -

I have a small daughter and I really adore her and I must say the feeling increases with every passing day, I never knew I was capable of so much love, but with great amount of love we also get great amounts of worry, anxiety and confusions, and now i realize why parents are under so much pressure, a small statement for our kids takes our sleep away. My daughter is a delight to watch, her laughter is infectious, her tiny hands and feet rock my world completely, but she is 7 months and cannot sit independently. No big deal right, well there are people who made me feel otherwise, gave stupid advice and planted a seed of suspicion in my head and then what I did was google, and I cannot stress much that that was the worst Idea of all. Google has all kind of information, good, bad, worth, useless... and you do stumble upon the worst mostly. I started reading into those articles and links you get if you type "7 month baby not able to sit" and bam, your worst nightmare has turn

Afforestation... Only way Forward.

I recently came across a TED talk and that made me research more on the subject of it and how we can contribute on an individual level. Why Individual level, well there are various things I want to do, small steps that I feel will bring me peace and help the environment, but every-time I think of something and always I look up for available group which I can join, mostly the search result ends up with groups seeking donations and never has any group come back seeking volunteer support. But this was different for that first time I am looking for resources and not people or group, obviously they are not easy, but I believe they can be managed. First things first, details of what I am talking about: https://www.ted.com/talks/shubhendu_sharma_how_to_grow_a_tiny_forest_anywhere Please watch this, using their methods we can create small patches of forest near us. Let's all get together and give back to our environment http://www.afforestt.com/index.html# Their webpage with all
