God or No God...

Tuesday, April 21, 2009 Edit This 6 Comments »

The life’s journey has been usual for me for years. I used to be an atheist who never prayed Him by heart. My mom is a religious woman who tried her best to teach me the importance of God in life but I simply ignored. Soon in adolescence, some force urged me to think about ‘The creator of life’. That phase converted me from an atheist to an agnostic. A lot of questions were there but eventually no answers for them. So, the relation with the Deity was limited only to celebration seasons like Diwali etc.


It z during adulthood that I realized the existence of God around us. If someone asks me how then I consider this to be a difficult situation to handle because it is the question which z still unanswered by even scientists. I can just mention that it z related to our soul and inner-self. The spiritual mind and pure heart is all that is needed to feel His presence. We all are destined by Him for some specific tasks. When we fail somewhere in life everyone says that ‘God must have thought something better for you’. For some this is meaningless and for others this is d inspiration for further hard work. The same happened with me.


During my graduation I was confused about whether to go 4 Mba or Mca? Without much counseling I started the preparation for Mba. But soon I realized that it z not the right career path for me. Since I had already invested a huge amount on that, I decided to continue. Knowingly or unknowingly I wasted a huge sum without any output. Also I gave 2 mca papers w/o preparation and I cleared both of them. It was a shocking experience 4 me. This was first time when I realized that there is some power that is ruling us. Even after receiving the opportunity of hving admsn in Mca , I rejected it. Why? Still don’t know. By that time my graduation was over and I found myself ending nowhre. Finally I planned to pursue actuarials. This time again something strange happened. The day when I had to pay the fees for its classes, I had to go to Vrindavan. The moment I reached there, I received a call that my form was rejected due to absence of Bank manager’s signature. I cursed Him for being so rude but I understood everything. My investment was saved by Him. On the return journey , I kept on thinking and thinking and one thing tht stroke me was Mba. The Almighty enlightened my mind and I felt new hope and direction inside me. Den I prepared 4 Mba with the belief that He ‘The super power’ is everywhere to help us if we want. Now I hv gt admsn in Mba n looking forward for d same.


P.S : He indicates the right path at every step but it is our responsibility to recognize it..

Terrorism....

First of all sorry for not visiting the blog past 6 months. Now I am back and will keep contributing my thoughts via this blog..Below is the basic elements about
terrorism..

Terrorism is the common phenomenon in today’s life. There is hardly any country that has not suffered because of terrorism in one way or the other. India is in the leading list. The word terrorism raises the following questions in one’s mind - What is terrorism? What are its features? What are its consequences? How can it be prevented?

Terrorism is the use of violence, or the threat of violence, to create a climate of fear in a given population. Terrorist violence targets ethnic or religious groups, governments, political parties, corporations, and media enterprises. Terrorists murder and kidnap people, set off bombs, hijack airplanes, set fires, and commit other serious crimes.

Terrorist acts are committed for various reasons and their goals differ from those of ordinary criminals. Most criminals want money or some other form of personal gain. Some individuals and groups that use terrorism support a particular political philosophy. Others represent minority groups seeking liberation from governments in power. Dictators and governments also use violence to frighten or eliminate their opponents. Organizations that engage in acts of terror are almost always small in size and limited in resources compared to the populations and institutions they terrorize. Through publicity and fear generated by their violence, they seek to magnify their influence and power to affect political change on either a local or an international level.

The terrorist activities have been known to result in mass destruction. Many innocent people loose their lives in this dirty play by human animals. Hundreds, and thousands of people are being injured or killed every year in terrorist acts. A huge loss of property and wealth is also occurred due to these activities. It has created an atmosphere of fear and horror over the globe. We have seen in the recent Mumbai attacks that 11 terrorists entered our premises at 10 different places – The Taj place, the Oberoi Trident , Nariman House, Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus etc. There was coordinated shooting and bombing for 3 days resulting in the death of atleast 173 people. But this is not the end. We are also suffering from Kashmir issue since independence. It is the fight between India and Pakistan for the ownership of Kashmir. The list is endless on the local as well as on the international front.

There are ways of prevention against these attacks and can be achieved but it will be a long, drawn out and challenging process. First of all the politicians should start thinking for the country security and welfare instead of their own selfish interests. Our civil ways would have to be changed. The airports, railways and seaways should operate in a stricter manner. Our borders need to be more strictly regulated. We need to control immigration, to help stop terrorism. There should be strictly no mercy for the terrorists and all the people involved. Common people also play a vital role in fight against terrorism by choosing the right candidate during elections. Lastly, we need to think as our enemies do. There needs to be severe consequences on the terrorists to make aware that we are a strong country,

It is true that many Indians have realized their responsibilities and coming forward to fight against terrorism and using their right to vote in an intellectual manner but still we all have to travel a long journey and have to take swear that we will work together in eradicating this evil from our country. The perfect example of the spirit we Indians need is described in the video below.
