Love - A feeling or an illusion....[does not talk abt anylove apart from adam and eve]

LOVE.....a four letter word that binds millions and is worth trillions of business.
Science explains it as feelings due to some particular enzymes and nerves acting in the brain.
Religions prohibit it as blasphemous.
Teenagers and many a people wish to experience it.
So what is this LOVE ?
The first few things that comes to mind on hearing this word are a red shape termed as heart (which no-where closely resembles an actual), a person of opposite sex (unless you are one who runs opposite to nature), Valentine day and a tender feeling.
Is it good or bad ? If its good then why many are opposed to it. If it is bad then why so many claim to be in love and many more waiting earnestly to feel it.
Many ask me whats my view on it. Well, I have always maintained that,
Love is the most beautiful feeling to have,
You are lucky if you have felt it,
You are luckier if the person for whom you feel reciprocates.
More luckier if the love is accepted by all.
And luckiest if you are able to continue to being in love forever, able to get each other and hold on.

Why burn your heart !!!

Its surprising to find that people burn their hearts over the tiniest matters in life. Some are jealous, some just want the others down but surprisingly most of them dont even have a reason for such hatred.
It is the third category which is the most difficult to handle and perhaps the most to worry about coz they dont even have a reason for jealousy but still love to hate. If you just happen to witness any of the realty shows you would find that they are in aplenty. I was shocked to see even sportsmen being part of this in the recent IPL matches. Many expected, including myself that sledging would diminish in this format. But its the reverse which is happening and sadly Indians are getting against Indians. Players who played as one team are now after each other's blood (atleast on-field) as they represent different teams. Aggression is good as long as its controlled. But when will these people understand. Sports can never be a great leveller and arena for friendship if the aggression is un-controlled. If civilised people cannot control themselves in sports itself, one cannot expect the uncivilised, uneducated, poverty stricken people who turn terrorists to see sense. Some argue that aggression is good for sports but where is this aggression taking us to. What are the children observing from such behaviour ? The behaviour of players, actors, common man in sports, reality shows and news channels.
I hate to watch TV today because none of the programmes including news channel want to see good of people. In name of entertaintment, in pursuit of TRPs and for profits to themselves these people are just exploiting emotions of people. But to blame them would not be a solution.
Its the people who are to be blamed as the media sells only what is bought. If people dont stop getting exploited, dont let someone run high on their emotions and dont understand the hidden deceit in others they would keep falling prey to theirs and others greed.
When will we understand that Man comes with nothing in his hand and will go with nothing in his hands. The name, fame, money, lust all shall fall, diminish and be obsolete once the heart stops beating. So why burn your heart!!!

Happiness - A state of mind or an everlasting illusion

The biggest question which many troubled souls have is how to find peace, how to find happiness. What are the tools for achieving them ? How can one sustain them once achieved ? This is a question which is asked by males and females, by children and by aged, not to forget the youth who are the most troubled lot. Its an answer which is seek-ed by every human irrespective of his caste / creed /religion /sex.

Why not animals ask this?

Not because they don't have a language to speak but because they have not bound themselves by the ropes of hatred, the greedy walls of achievement, the thirst to have it all.

So are animals better off than us? Even after progress of over 20 centuries why is man not better than animal. Surprised? I am not talking about the technological progress. Yes we have progressed a lot technically, from fire to laser lights, from radio to ipods, from paper to computers. But each progress has taken us a step back. In a movie which I watched recently [Lage raho munnabhai –India], the anchor says that we are in touch with the world through internet but do not know the neighbour next door. So true is this, so true across all parts of the world.

Let’s first define happiness.

Is it money? Is it success? No.

Is it that we are victorious always? No.

Though people may “feel” Happy when they get any of the three above, it’s not everlasting. By happiness I mean, the state of the mind being in control, the state when you are able to find sorrow in joy and joy in sorrow. It’s about getting up daily and saying thank God for this beautiful morning today, it’s about thanking God every night for the day irrespective of it being good or bad.
