We care for what we shouldn't and neglect what we shouldn't. How ? Read futher.Its human to discriminate between the two. How ? Let's have a story to support it.Once upon a time there lived a big Landlord. He had a a big mansion. He had hundreds of acres of cultivating land. He had money in abundance. He had servants galore to work for him. He had, most importantly, peace of mind. He had cows, buffaloes, bulls, donkeys to work for him in the fields. He had .......... Well, the list is endless. He had almost all the material pleasures. Like all humans this landlord too had a week point, and it was dogs. Yes, he was very much fond of dogs. He would not care to spend like anything for their simples needs. He had a host of breeds of dogs. He had the Australian Shepherd, Bloodhound, Bulldog, Doberman etc. But the one that he most liked was the Curly-Coated Retriever. It was as dark as night. It had an unusually straight tail, (that always stood up) of which the landlord was very fond....
HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY !
♠ Posted by Abhijit Bangal
Is man going away from honesty ?Well, to answer that question is a largely a personal issue. But whatever, there are some human values that always remain. They are here to stay. Some stories are very famous about this in the Indian context.Once upon a time, there was a poor woodcutter. He was so poor that, if any day he failed to cut wood and sell it, then he would have to go to bed empty-stomuched. It was difficult to make both ends meet for him. But this poor man was a man of ethics. He sold wood at reaonable rates in spite of his poor economic condition. He would never lie for his benefit. This continued for days together, but still his condition would not improve. One day when he was cutting wood near a river, his iron axe happened to fall in the river. He was stunned. He saw darkness in front him. He saw his wife going hungry. He saw his children crying for food. He saw, that he was in no condition to provide them with their necessities. As he sat under the tree crying,...
MY FAVOURITE TV SHOW
I love watching serials on different channels. But the programme I like most is the Zee Horror show.That day, as usual I watched the programme. In that there was a man with an axe in his hand. He had fiery eyes and an eerie laughter.Even though I was afraid I could not avoid the temptation of watching the programme.After that I went to bed. In the middle of the night I started having a nightmare.I dreamt that I was being chased by `that man.' His eyes were glowing in the dark, his axe was glittering and he had such a terrible laughter. He was running after me. I ran and ran but was soon exhausted. I stopped because all my energy was drained out. The man reached me and seeing me helpless he raised his axe to kill me.``Motherrr.. help meee......'' I cried out, piercing the silence of the night.Hearing my shouts, my parents woke up, switched on the light and came up to me. When I told them everything they started laughing. My father told me that those 'eyes' were nothing else but...
WHO READS ?
♠ Posted by Abhijit Bangal in chatting,computer,film-making,games,Harry Potter,Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone,internet,travelling
Is the kid today going away from reading ?The 21rst century has changed the habits of the man. He is now addicted to computer, games, Internet, chatting, travelling,..... The list is endless. He will do everything except reading. In short, he is all dependent on machine, technology etc.And no one seems to be an exception to this. But the kids, do need to read. At least, as long as they are students. They need to. And even if, unwillingly, they do read it. And that's true.But the idea of reading for fun, pleasure is quite a distant reality. Because, one may read for fun, when he needs relaxation, when mentally fatigued. But reading for fun, is not necessary now-a-days. The reason is that there are more means to relax. Like go out with friends, go for long drives, use your i-pod, your mobile for taking pictures, listen to online songs, play online games, chat --- . The list goes on. "Do everything, but don't read", seems to be the motto of the kid today.But then came Harry Potter....
7/11 (Poem)
REMEMBERING THE DARK DAY 7/11MY COMMENTSThe whole world is with you through thick and thin,Someone of you might have really lost a kin !The vacuum created is really sad,Because no terrorism is good or bad !It's our duty to stop this bloody thing,And to rescue ourselves from Osama - the underworld King !Each one of us should come forward to uproot terrorism,Because God has really made the earth a good place to live !Let us not spoil this God-gift,And not let them create between us a rift !The tears, the sorrow, the crest fallen faces,This has been experienced by many races !This shows, safe that we are not,This battle, now really needs to be fought !India, Pakistan & Sri Lanka;Australia, UK, America,Who have been spared ?But many a terrorist have dared !So, let's pledge not to make another 7/11I'll fight terror, this at least tell one !(Dedicated to the victims of the 7/11 rail attacks on Mumb...

The superstitious
♠ Posted by Abhijit Bangal
It's human - to not get away from a thing, with which one is associated or to stick to something which even if is unhealthy - mentally or physically. To get things done in the wrong way, illegal way, unethical way is the order of the day in India. That's why corruption is so strongly rooted here.The same is about superstition. Even in the highly technically influenced 21st century, almost each one of us has, and believe - knowingly or unknowingly - in one superstition or the other.The same has happened today. That's 07/07/07. A date that comes ones in a century, which gives you pleasure of reading it as mm/dd/yy or dd/mm/yy or even howsoever may you like it. On this day many a couple, who were engaged to be married, chose this date. The reasons ? Well, they best know it. But this is not happening only in a country full of superstitions and superstitious people - India - but its happening all over the world.Now, why have alllllllllllllll the people the world over have suddenly...

I feel like writing a lot. But can't make up my mind, about what to write. So then I decide to write nothing. But I can't do that either. Because writing is my hobby. Yeah ! It's just a hobby that, I, somewhere deep inside feel, can be converted into a money earning source. But how is that going to happen ? Is my writing as polished as to do so ? Can I consider a ghost writer ? No. No. I am afraid. Of the ghost ? Nooooooooo ! But of getting something written for me by someone else. So I drop the idea of ghost writing and ghost writers. The readers will think, its not me, who the writer is. Someone else will write for me, if I pay. But no one else will develop my writing skills. I will have to do it all by myself. And not depend on any (ghost) writers. Because (ghost) writers just do not exist. I may not be J. K. Rowling to get a rags to riches turnover, and neither be a Arundhati Roy to get a Booker in the first instance. Being Shobha De too is no easy....
Kundalini - A Hidden Power
♠ Posted by Abhijit Bangal
INDIA - The articulation itself is enough to indicate that it is one of the world''s most different countries. Her rich culture, varied haritage, the boon of the sages & saints has made INDIA all the more different. People come here from all parts of the world to find peace of mind and most of them do get it only in INDIA. Patanjali''s Yoga and Pranayam, Saint Panini''s Grammar of the Sanskrit Language, healing the Aurvedic way ... the list can keep growing.Among all these is Swami Ramdev Baba who is championing the cause of Patanjali - Yoga and Pranayam - to remain fit, healthy and live past 99. What it all requires is just will-power and sincere dedication. And arguably the top-most level of all this is - MEDITATION AND KUNDALINI.Kundalini is a very great in born power present in all human beings but used by more than few of them. We will see some more information and details about all the powers of KUNDALINI and "The Muladhar Chakra", "The Swadhisthan Chakra", "The Manipur...

I Need You ! (Poem)

I need you as the deserts need the rain,Deep in my heart you will always remain !I need you like a baby needs its mother,In my heart, except you, there is no one other !I need you like the grass needs water,When you are with me, I have nothing to bother !I need you like a light in utter darkness,You are really an epitome of kindness !I need you as a hungry-one needs to eat,Tell me, when are we going to meet !I need you as life needs air,In your judgement you are always fair !I need you as a blind-one needs sight,I think of you every day and night !I need you as a deaf-one needs to hear,Your absense, in my eyes brings many a tear !So oh, dear, don't fear, come nearBecayse I need you and I love you...
