Patriotism

Yesterday,Prashant Bhushan,a member of Team Anna was beaten up for making comments about Kashmir.He said he was in favour of a Referendum in Kashmir,in which the people of Kashmir should be given the right to decide whether Kashmir should be an independant nation or remain as an integral part of India.Undoubtedly such highly liberalized remarks would provoke the rightists,who think that India can and should never be divided further. So some young people rushed inside the office of Prashant Bhushan and bashed him up for his unscrupulous and antinational remarks.

The question here is of propriety. Did Prashant Bhushan say the right thing when he commented about the freedom of Kashmir ? Should he be excused for making such remarks under the pretext that he has the freedom of speech,living in a democracy like India ? Or should he be punished ? If at all, he should be punished or opposed,is this the right way to oppose him - by beating him badly ?

Evidently, he went completely wrong when he was saying that the Youth of Kashmir deserved a Referendum on what should be the future of Kashmir. After so much of bloodshed of innocent men and women in Kashmir,and after the immigration of almost all the Hindus from Kashmir,we can't let it to be hived off from the rest of the nation,only because some seperatists over there want it to be a seperate identity.
Every true Indian will like to see Kashmir , being a part of India Forever.

Everything has its own limit,however.Freedom of speech isn't granted to us,so that we keep on commenting thoughtlessly (giving your thoughts the name "Liberalized views")about sensitive issues, which can stir someone up.You should think twice before you make a Public statement about a burning issue like Kashmir.Just because,you were supported by the Public as heroes during your campaign against corruption,especially due to Anna Hazare, doesnt give you the authority to speak about burning and sensitive national issues relentlessly.It was a clear case of Misuse of the fundamental right of Freedom of speech.He deserved opposition from anywhere and everywhere.

However, the punishment dished out to him was also improper.If you donot like a person's comments you can oppose him verbally by arguing with him or at the best shout slogans against him in protest.But you can't use Violence to thrash him for what he spoke.This is called Hooliganism, which cannot be endorsed in a civilized society.

Inshort,patriotism cannot be showed by beating someone up just because his views were anti-national.There are far better ways to show your Patriotism, rather than this one. Such events make the nation's pride to descend.

Reasons for Success

One student asked me yesterday," Sir,why do some people succeed in life, while so many of them Fail ?" The answer to it from my side - "Total dedication,perseverance and patience combined with Discipline."
If you possess all of these qualities, you are very likely to succeed in a huge way.Presence of even one of the above will help you a lot in proceeding towards your desired Goal.Dedication is your commitment towards your work in terms of achieving the targets as per schedule. Perseverance is Hardwork.Total ruthless Hardwork.Then comes Patience.Its a low profile virtue,but its an essential supplement to the above two virtues. Without Patience,one can't achieve Longterm Success. To attain success is less difficult. To maintain it for a long term is much more difficult.This comes through a sheer quality called patience.Its that inner voice inside you,which keeps on telling you," Mate,today wasn't my day but i will again try harder tomorrow ....".Patience can be enhanced through Pranayam and Meditation. Last but not the least is Discipline.To understand what Discipline is and how it contributes in our success, lets take the example of two cricketers.
Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli started their cricketing careers almost together in early nineties.Initially,although Sachin was more talented,Vinod was more successful !! When he hit 4 centuries in a row,people started comparing him to Sir Don Bradman !Two of those centuries he converted into Double hundreds ! Whilst Kambli was in full bloom, Sachin wasn't.He hardly hit a Fifty in those four test matches in which Kambli flourished. But he was more Disciplined and believed in himself.
Slowly Kambli started moving in late night parties and got back to the hotel room late quite often.This had an impact on his batting form.While Sachin was very disciplined.He never went to late night parties and went to bed early.Kambli,inspite of losing his touch, continued to remain astray and decided to work in some films as his sidejob ! Sachin was fully focussed on Cricket.The result is history.Vinod Kambli was finally kicked out of the Indian cricket team due to his deteriorating form and now he sits in the benches to watch Sachin still playing for India after 22 years and creating newer records all the time !!! As on today, Sachin is considered as a Legend while Kambli is a forgotten saga ! The main difference between the two is DISCIPLINE.One never knew what it means, while the other worshipped it and obeyed it fully.

If described at length,the above four virtues can fill up bytes and bytes of data.Each word is so precious for the person, who can rightly evaluate it.However,I think this much is enough for today. Good night and Take care.

INSIGHT

Date- 10th October,2011.

It was a fulfilling day with respect to my work with a lot of energy and zeal.

In the process of my daily routine,I happened to watch an online video containing the 1st episode of a 13-episode TV series "COSMOS" by Carl Sagan.It was named as "The shores of the Cosmic Ocean". I was highly impressed once again to see it.( once again because I had seen it way back in 1987 as a student of class 12th )

" Why would a very moderate bluish planet like our Earth be the only place to have Life on it, when billions of planets and celestial bodies carry almost every essential elements necessary to produce and sustain Life ?" asks Sagan in the middle of this very vivid and highly informative episode. "I personally believe that there is no reason why Life wouldn't be there in plenty,somewhere amongst the large amount of satellites and planets up there." he concludes his argument.

Infact this very question of the existence of Living identities somewhere on some planet or a satellite ( or even a meteor )has been puzzling the scientists since decades now. There was a probability of the presence of Life on Mars,but with the proof that there is no water on it as on today, that possibility has been denied temporarily. Scientists have now been considering the case of possibility of life on anyone of the 39 moons of Jupiter or that on 30 of Saturn.That day on which they find Life on any of these natural satellites,would definitely be a Milestone in Space Research.

Its amazing to know that the matter by which the stars are made up of, is exactly the same in which the Sun and our planets are made up of viz.Hydrogen,Helium,carbon,etc.Carbon,Hydrogen and Oxygen constitute organic molecules of which protein and DNA chain is made up of in almost each living body.Thus we can invariably state that we are made up of STAR MATTER !!!

Also there exists an amazing analogy between the Rotation of planets around the Sun (the biggest phenomenon in the solar system) and the Rotation of electrons around the Nucleus of an atom ( the smallest phenomenon in our solar system).Both rotate in the same way and the same principles of physics apply to both of them !!! Really surprising, isn't it ?

One student asked me today," Sir,why do some people succeed in life, while so many of them Fail ?" The answer to it from my side - "Total dedication,perseverance and patience combined with Discipline" Will talk about it tomorrow when I resume typing.
Good Night for today.

Introduction

During our daily chores, we experience and feel a variety of emotions. Some subside down immediately, while some of them continue to hover over our nervous system (including brain ), until you don't actually firmly decide to give them up. Some thoughts and emotions, would be those which reflect your inborne tendency to perceive yourself as a superior identity on this planet wherever you go ,while contrastingly some show your negative feelings, which relect your hidden fears and apprehensions. The more you succeed in suppressing the negative thoughts and energies and divert them into positive ones, the more you succeed in this modern sphere of life.

This blog attempts at the same process of first showing what went through my mind during the time when negative energies travelled all around me and then how much I succeeded in re-establishing the positive atmosphere by myself or by any other aid,around me.

Honest and sincere attempts are also being made to think about, analyse and state the answers to different problems and situations,which crop up suddenly during our modern day life.Whether that attempt can be called Genuine and Final, or just a little Freak's effort, is a matter of personal jurisdiction and i donot wish to impose my personal views onto anyone if they don't agree with my interpretations.

Have a great Reading time ,
