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.

Two days of nation love.

15 th  august is a day when patriotism for our country gets it ’s year high TRP. This is the day when all the legendary patriotic songs come to play their role to inspire us, to reignite the spirit of patriotism, to give goosebumps, to bring tears, to give nostalgia from school days of independence day celebration. Oh! I remembered, there are actually only two days in a year when we remember the sacrifices of never dying memory of freedom fighters and martyrs. Rest of the 362 days we spend on cheating, stealing, being bad to others, polluting, being corrupt or littering. We think that two days of so-called nationalism and patriotism is good enough for the country to grow and develop. Standing for the national anthem and saluting it on the republic and the independence day is not good enough to make us a contributor in making our country a better place. What we need is, commitment of the whole year, actually whole life. Everyone don’t need to do charity to become a contribut...

Chapter -2, A story of ‘HE’ and ‘SHE’ and how he fell for her.

… he wanted to tell this to the world.  (continued from yesterday’s blog) He wanted to talk to the girl but there was something which was keeping him from approaching the girl. She had become a real and strong crush in very few hours. It was not like that the guy was shy, he had few girls in his main college group with whom he never found it difficult to talk. But with “SHE” something was up. One day he thought, he will just go and talk to the girl casually not making a big deal of it. Next day after class when the professor told the group that the class is going to attend a seminar and this is necessary for everyone to go. “HE” thought his chance has come knocking the door, so he decided to take the awaited conversation to delay one more day. Delhi’s lifeline is metro, millions of people travel in it, so were the class going to.  The night before the seminar a discussion started in the WhatsApp group where and when everyone will meet. “HE” never was an involved member o...

कितना महत्वपूर्ण है सलमान का जेल में नाश्ता न करना

पिछले 2,3 दिनों के खबर पर अगर नजर डाले तो सलमान खान ही दिख रहें है। मिजोरम के एनआईटी कॉलेज में एक छात्र की जान कॉलेज के खराब खाने से चली गयी, वहा के छात्र इस पर धरने पर बैठे है। इसकी खबर कितनों ने दिखाई। किसानों को उनके आलु के दाम ठीक से नहीं मिल पा रहे कहां पढ़ लिया आपने। पेट्रोल के दाम कई जगहों पर 80 के पार चले गये, इस पर कितने बहस सुन लिए या लेख पढ़ लिए। जो गलती हमने श्री देवी जी के देहांत को कवर करने में की, वहीं गलती आज फिर दोहरा रहे है। क्या सलमान एक आम इंसान की तरह जेल में रहने पर अपने आने वाली फिल्मों में वही एक्शन और स्टाइल नहीं दोहरा पाएंगे। मैनें पहले भी लिखा है और आज भी लिख रहा हु। मीडिया से ज्यादा इसमें हमारी गलती है, हम देखते ही क्युं है ऐसी खबरों को। क्यों जरुरी है ये जानना कि सलमान जेल में कैसे बाथरुम का प्रयोग कर रहे हैं। हमें फर्क इस बात से पड़ना चाहिए कि संसंद का काम इतना कम क्यों हुआ है। एक न्युज पोर्टल के मुताबिक पिछले 18 सालों में सबसे कम काम इसी बजट सत्र में हुआ है। “ पीआरएस लेजिस्लेटिव रिर्सच ” (जो विधायी कार्यों के सोध से जुड़ी संस्था है) ने बताया कि दो ...
