BLOGGING FROM THE MOBILE - ON WAY TO KAMAREDDY BY A TRAIN

People living in abject poverty, people struggling to earn a decent square meal per day. I see their clothes strung on a rope. Whites have turned into pale yellows. Perhaps it's the sweat of the hard working person. Tiny holes in them. Images like these haunt you. and the feeling of utter helplessness tortures the mind even more. it's times like these when your faith in the almighty goes for a toss. not that you are an aethist, but you wish once, just once you had the power of GOD. You would show Him how you'd punish the guilty and reward the just. really, why does not He do what is expected of Him. are we asking too much? come on, we are merely asking that the sinners be rewarded with appropriate punishment. is this too much. of course, He knows it isn't so. so one thing is established. we know that God knows. so who's stopping Him? why wait until Judgement day or end of Kalyug. how can He see his faithful suffer at the hands of such monsters. the corrupt politicians, the bane of this country, how's it that their wealth graph goes only one way. up. where do the efforts of the law abiding common man go? to a meaningless waste? why the inequality? why the suffering? i know God created this world and the man 'made' it into what it is today. agreed. but he's supposed to have powers, right? why not use'em ? if there was ever a time to use powers, then it is now. what is he waiting for? some sort of sign? if it is a sign if wants, then take a look down. He'll find many. it's a sign when the lust filled bastards rape a defenceless girl, woman and a child. a child for god's sake!! how horrible can one get. it's a sign, when old people get robbed of their only possessions. and get killed if they resist. it's a sign dear God, because the old resisted for they do not know who to depend on, as their infidel children have thrown them out. injustice and sin has consumed your world God. come down and cleanse it. get rid of these filthy rouges and foul atmosphere. your faithful are choking for some justice, some equality, some peace. IT'S TIME, GOD. BLOODY TIME.

Mobile technology to your rescue in a boring wedding function!!

I am here at a friend's sister's wedding. And i came alone!! pretty strong basis for a damn boring begining!! I congratulate my friend and wait by way of sitting on a plastic chair. people come and go past me, yet not a single face is registered in the database of my mind. you know it takes guts of steel to even 'think' of attending the function much less actually going there!! Suddenly the friend's brother invites me to the reception area where dinner is served. i protest saying, i haven't even met the newly weds!! more later......

Well, nothing to write really! At least as i am writing this! Let's see what the depths of this mind brew up as i go along. 

Firstly, this has been a very cold, sad and a dull day. I woke up at 5 AM. A chilly draft of air greeted me when i opened the doors. It was so cold, i cancelled even the idea of doing 'Pranayams'. A fairly simple breathing excercise. Heard it makes your life & health better. You sit in a meditating posture, inhale through one nostril, while closing the other with your finger. Keep inhaling until you feel like your lungs are full, hold the breath for a few seconds, and exhale through the other nostril, while keeping the former closed with your finger. Keep on repeating this for atleast 15 minutes. It clears the airways inside your lungs. And it also increases the lung capacity to hold air. The more your lungs can accomodate, the more you can breathe. And the more you breathe, the more Oxygen your body gets supplied. More Oxygen means good health.

As the reader might have already noticed my usuage of the word 'sad' in the previous paragraph, i now wish to throw more light on it. Later in the day i got to know the passing away of a cousin of mine. He had been ill for a long time now. There were a series of operations performed on him in the begining. It seems to have left the body ravaged. It repulsed and rejected each operation and complicated the whole situation. Finally, the advancements in the medical field kept him alive for a brief period of time, before the doctors gave up. The family was advised to take him back home, for the good doctors realized the futileness of continuing the treatement. After all, even a doctor cannot help when the body decides to give up. And so on the way, as he was being taken to his hometown after passing the city, his soul finally decided to remove itself from the devasted body.

All of 55 years he was !  He was the only son of my eldest aunty, who too had departed for Heaven a long time back........

Brought my self up-to-date with the latest post on the Big B's blog. What a truly remarkable human he is! If only our politicians had even an iota of the humanity this great man has, India and its people would have benefited greatly. I use the term 'iota' intentionally, because there are so many politicians and collectively the 'iotas' from these opportunists (leave a small group of 'em) would form a great sea of humanity, quite literally !! Also because, the rulers of this great country neither have the heart nor have the capability of having any more than an 'IOTA' of 'Humanity' .

I sign off with a very uncertain mind about the times to come.
