I Post

I post today with a sense of happiness. For the last few days have been very hectic.....i ws literally screwed by everyone......i ws very frutrated & very upset...but then i ws readin these two fabulous piece of written work.....one ws dialogues of plato & the other one ws the poems by oscar wilde................and i tell u it ws fantabulous.............
the poem abt a prisoner who ws punished to death becoz he killed the person he loved & that made me realized that everyone kills the person they love....either by having feelings of possession, using the weopon of lust...using their prejudices.......i realize this is so very true....even i did it.....i confess..........
the dialogues of plato is a book to treasure & surely it is a starting point to any thinking person's education.....i dont follow any person's philosophy.....but surely this book ignites u to think....think what u want.........for the first time i felt free readin a book...otherwise what is the normal course that u forget urself & try to imitate what is there in the book....but that is not sensible.....surely it forces u to think why u live in this world.............i m damn sure its very difficult to find out.....but then now i m searchin............& wud see that petty things in life dont bother me..............
peace n love

A Secular Rethink

I ws supposed to write this for the indian express essay but ws late......so bear me......
1947 to 2005, 58 years of independence, independence of Idia, of ppl, their souls, of their lives. Many things have changed, views have changed, "u" have changed, "i" have changed & most importantly what u say when u meet a person for the first time has changed.....therefore there is an urgent need to redefine what we say, what we speak, we have to redefine our expressions.....we have to redefine the very social structure in which we live...............
Freedom, Secularism & justice, these r the 3 pillars on which the country stands. its time that we rethink abt this structure......let these 3 be amalgated to form the foundation materials on whcih the pillars of prosperity, happiness & peace stand. the pillars can stand firm, if the foundation is strong......
over the period of time, the word secularism, now spans everything from religion to expressions.......firslty secularism is justice.....it seems i m in love with this word..........justice shud imply right things at the right place & at the right time.........when we say secularism we shud imply justice.........it shud a citizen to lead a just life.......in a sense that he believes is right & suited to him............
with justice now being linked to a person's choice.....it is linked to freedom........with it comes responsibility, we r here to live life with a sense of purpose, with a sense of responsilbility....it shud start with ur family & gradually to ur country & then to the whole world & then to the whole universe.......
with we entering 21st century, boundaries shud cease, then the freedom is "realized"....boundries shud vanish not only physical but also mental as well........
when we have both justice & freedom in place, secularism can flourish, where ppl worship whomever they want to..............where citizens have respect for each other..............
we have to redifne secularism not jst in the eyes of the law, but in the eye of citizens...........only then we wud be able to achieve peace....peace among countries....peace among individuals.....nd most imp, peace within us.........
peace n love
