I AM A HINDU AND IT'S NOT MY RELIGION!!!!!

Don't be judgemental guys but it's true!!!!
No I am not a Christian , Buddhist , Muslim, Jain or anything else but one thing is for sure that my religion is not Hinduism.

  Hold on!Hold on! Before you all think me to be insane I want to make it clear that my religion has no name !!!!  Don't tear away your pillows , but its the truth!!!

 The Vedas has no such terms as Hindus or the epics The Ramayan or the Mahabharata has made such references. Its mostly during the 14th C that poets of our country have used this terminology. 

 How the word Hindu came into existence is still obscure. Its probably of Persian origin. 

 It doesn't make sense why everybody gives names to my country. Like during British rule , they changed it to India!!!

 During colonial period , everybody living in India was 
known as a Hindu. It was later on to distinguish themselves that they were divided into Hindus, Buddhist , Jains etc. 

 Previously , there were two sects of people , one who followed God Shiva and the other who followed Lord Vishnu called Vaishnavs. And there was no specific name to it. 

 Remember , Swami Vivekanand during his speech in the House of Commons never used the word Hindu but called it  the Mother of all Religion(Sanatan dharm).

 A person's religion living in America, is never American or a person living in Australia never has a Australian religion. It refers to the person who lives there , irrespective of their religion.

 Well for now my religion is uncertain so its better to adjust what is relevant today isn't it???

 I am Hindu and I am of Hindu religion...

My New Year Resolution!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE Oh my God!!! We all entered another year. I remember I stared my previous year on a very positive note and wish to do so this year as well. I know the path I have chosen will bring me towards more happiness and continue to do so . But this time I shall make myself count for the promise I shall fulfill this year is to Read some good books. I had read some last year but I don't think it was satisfactory. So I shall make myself richer in knowledge this year for sure. If there is night, there shall also come a day to shine and spread your light to the entire world.

Away with the awkwardness!!!!

When we are at  a new place, meeting a new person or situation, there is a sense of awkwardness in the air.  It cannot be helped , it's bound to happen to introverts mostly. But there are so many new ways of avoiding them or breaking the ice, isn't it. Thanks to social media, it's so easy. It's so easy to write or "like" maybe , to starting being familiar.  But there are situations which cannot be avoided , which arises meeting face to face. Like for example , this is a students birthday , I was invited to. The family is our neighbors as well . I am familiar with the family too but I didn't know how to face the situation. So I helped serving the kids after the party, rather than sit at a corner like a strict teacher. I don't know what impression I might have put on others but I was relieved at that very moment. That's the way I pulled out of that situation. I don't think its bad to behave a little relaxed as such. It's good fo...

Wood making a comeback!!!!

I have never doubted the strength of things of the older times. Whether it is older structures or the strength of our previous generations. They will always remain forefront. It's our belief in them that we again and again go back to the things of the past and make it a part of our present life. Like ,I thought that culottes was so fresh fashion. But when I saw the 70's actress wearing it,its like cool!!!! It's the same thing with wood.  They are thinking of cars made of wood, which would be lighter and stronger!!! Such a cute little modern twist to the age old Chariot!!!! I always think that ,everything is good if it is in sync with the environment. Do I have a wish for anything of the past to make a comeback, then what it would me???? Umm.. Telephones may be...
