Best thing about Navratra is "Bhandara" for Poor


.I have never been a fan of worshipping and praying to almighty God. I respect those people who follow them and pray for a better tomorrow but I never found the logic behind it. However there have certain times when I may have prayed, but that must have been at those times when life was most vulnerable for me or for my loved ones. And yes I have prayed once when I was batting while playing cricket too, like the great Sachin Tendulkar but this was  way before.
I know I am going to be criticised for what I am writing today, may be I will be declared an atheist by people. People may start hating me or think I am goofy, foolish, witless and berk but it doesn’t matter to me. I don’t have give a damn about Ram Mandir will be made or not. The only thing I know that my diabetic mother stays on fast going against the doctor’s advice and get sick. I can’t even count how many times I would have told her that her first priority should be health. But we know what these Moms answer, they say you will not understand and how vital it is to pray and do Bhajan. She doesn’t eat without doing the Puja any day. This is not only the story of my mom, there are many mothers out there who share the same feelings.
I am not writing this to criticise there practices, I too feel good when I go to these temples, Gurudwaras, mosques etc. but the problem is, how worshipping is going to help if we are affecting our health. People waste lot of money, oil, Milk, Clothes, Wine etc. for these practices.  What I think is, worshipping the god is not going to make them happy but helping a poor or needy ones will. But keeping everything on hold for the Puja doesn’t make sense to me.  
Today was the Final day of Navratra and I realised this is what everyone should do rather than wasting time, money and energy on these practises. I saw many Bhandaras out on roads providing free meals to people. This is the best thing I like about the Hinduism of all the stuffs we do to make our god happy. I think, God could only be happy if we do our work honestly, do not create any harm to others and help the needy ones.

What happened yesterday...

I am writing after few days just because I am confused about the way things are going in my life. I have been thinking about getting a new job because I am not satisfied with the present one. This is going on for over a month and my conscious mind thinks that I deserve a better job. When you see less deserving, less skillful and less qualified person becoming your team leader, it is obvious to get these thoughts. I did journalism with a lot of hopes attached with it, that one day I will do something which I will love and I will also get paid for it but the world seems very cruel when things don’t go your way. I have been active on job portals more than at the current job to find something good. It has hardly been a year and I am having second thoughts on my career. I know that I shouldn’t get this impatient so early in my career but I could feel that I am struggling in finding an appropriate place to show my skills which is a genuine problem of this generation but more than that I ...

Review of article "Wings Over Rajpath" from Geopoltics Magazine.

Refer to “WINGS OVER RAJPATH” (Geopolitics January 2016) by Mayank Singh . In this article writer has rightly explained that how a Republic day is made more special by Air show of Helicopters, Sukhoi, Dhruv, Chakra etc. The writer mentioned that viewers either watching live or on televisions enjoy a lot that moment when tricolor flutter in blue sky playing hide and seek with our eyes disappearing in to the clouds. There are three types of aircraft which participate and all take off from different locations. Fighters, transport and Helicopters have which have different speed and they cover different locations. Visibility of these shows are really important in the overall planning of the display. With visibility decreasing the aircraft have to be brought closer to the VIP and the public and then line of sight also has to be adjusted. The author briefly described how much hard work they have to do before performing on 26 th jan and in front of the president, prime minister and thou...

Is this a start of new beginning or mere a flashback for Saffron.

BJP winning the 2014 Lok Sabha election was something everyone saw coming the day NaMo name was out in the news to lead them in the big money involved election. Since then whatever BJP has achieved in the Country is outrageous to opposition. I don’t recall the last time when the country was ruled by a single party in these many states. Maybe it would have been achieved by mughals or someone else. But this is not something, a citizen should be proud of, where second largest party has only 3 states to rule and the leading party has 21 . Democracy can only excel when the opposition is strong too. Opposition is as important as the party in power because a democratic country needs someone who could ask questions to the party sitting on throne. However the job is meant for the   media but we know they are only playing their card to make money by gaining more and more TRPs and by other alleged means. BJP has been on a roll since Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Sha...
