Inward Happiness

Religious discourses have fascinated me. Since my know-how in Hindu mythology is very limited I have never understood the discourse fully. I was arranging my CD collection today that is where I found a discourse of Jakki Vasudev on DVD. The whole content lasted for about one hour. The first half an hour pulled my entire attention. He spoke about happiness and our search to it. The moment we are born as a human being a problem arises. Suppose we were animals then food and reproduction would have been the only two ultimate goals. It is very less complicated when compared to the goals of an average human. Then again if a man is under starvation and in terribly impoverished then food will be the only need. But when the basic needs of a man are fulfilled then arises the problem. No one has ever defined happiness. It is a very relative term. God gave us the 5 sense as a gift but it has become a curse. We can feel a small ant moving on our skin but we cannot feel the liters of blood mov

Tamil Padam

Despite of several warning from my near and dear about the nature of the film i did go and see it. I did not have great expectations about the movie. But it was a decent movie. It is for those with a light heart and enjoy watching zero logic movies. By zero logic i do not mean the movies in which the protagonist hits a battalion of people which contains people who arr 10 times as strong as him. I mean the jokes and their placement. The whole movie was a spoof of the past Tamil movies. Everyone from Rajinikanth to the new leaves life Nakul were targeted. The first half was a laughing riot.My favorite was the tetra pack kalli pal. I was happy that i came for the movie in the first half but smile started to fade soon in the second half. It actually became a little irritating. It was a good movie but could have been much better. It is strictly for people who can laugh and slap stick comedy and don't have high expectations from the movie. It is surely worth a watch.I am ve

Skin care

God is very impartial to his children. He gave us all a perfectly fit body. It is up to us to pamper it. We take strain to pamper it. If our house is regularly painted, cleaned, dusted and so on then why not skin. We have only one skin so let us indulge. Some might argue stating that looks does matter. But skin care extends beyond that. A person with good health will evidently have glowing skin. It is never too late to start taking measures. Most of us know what to do but are just too lazy to do it. If clear skin can give you a better look and that extra edge then why not invest time for it? I have tried to put up an almost comprehensive skin care list try following most if not all that suit you. I too am a lethargic person but I do not let my laziness get the better of me when it comes to my skin. So give it a shot! *Eat good portions of diverse vegetables. *Supplement oily food with fruits or some thing healthy. *Drink lots of water. *Eat nuts like almonds and walnuts whi

Affluent beggar

Today morning was like another holiday beginning. I was just flipping the news paper when obscure news caught my attention. Police in Chandigarh had arrested an "Affluent beggar." That beggar was found to be having a mobile phone, television, DVD player and other electronic items were confiscated. He has taken a guesthouse for which he was paying a rental of rs6000 a moth and was there for a period of 2 months. On enquiry he stated that it was the cash proceeding from those who took pity on him and gave as alms. Not plausible right. Hence he was arrested. There are two was to look at this. My mother's point of view was that why can he not spend the money so after-all it is his and it was peoples free will to give. It was a nice soft view. It was like human right to living and his prerogative to spend his. My view differed. I felt that arresting him was right how he can be fed and live happily without equivalent work. Worse what if his money was ill earned. This s

Vitality

Quit weeping and wailing, Make the melancholy stop, Listen up to my words! Life is a runnel, The fittest move on, Some silt might be left behind. Even if the water wants it to stay, The silt will part, There is no glue that binds. The water too shall go away, It too might disappear, But as long as it drifts, It is gleeful and spreads joy. When water is do why not you? Smile when in trouble, Time and people once gone, Become silt, They enrich the earth, And mirth the gleaner. But when you are the flowing river, Symbolize fortitude and vivant, For life is benevolence, And to live it is an art.
