About Me

About me .. lets see... I am an avid reader and love writing.... My thirst for reading goes such a long way that I would read the text behind a packet of chips or a pack of OJ. I like watching movies... Although my choice of movies is quite unique. I like the dishhoom-dishoom Jackie Chan Movies to lovey dovey Shahrukh Movies. Can watch anything under the sun including Bhojpuri flicks. I follow a philosophy called Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism. It's based on the law of cause and effect. However unlike other philosophys it teaches that we can achieve watever we want and we can change our destiny by creating good causes. Something that i really like, something very different and empowering from the otherwise very rigid view of destiny and cause.

First Love


Pehla Nasha ,Pehla Khumaar....yes u guessed it right First Love

This has been on my mind since a long time but never thought of penning it down let alone blogging it.It's very personal and close to my heart ,may be thats why.
I 'm not talking about some first random crush but First Love.The first feeling of selflessness.If i were to quote one of my friends its the time things became from "me" to "we".

How can I put into words a feeling only a heart understands .It's like giving birth to a baby only the mother understands the joy n the pain. Similiarly only those who've fallen in love will understand . It's a feeling, scientifically may be a rush of certain hormone(i dont know what its called) but actually gives u a high u've never imagined.

It's the first time u see a pretty pink dress in a showroom n you see her in it. Its the first when u hear "truly ,madly, deeply" and for the first time you realize its true meaning.You feel you are in some kind of fairytale. Everytime you blink your eye u think of that person. Everynight u fall asleep you dream of that person in your arms.You dont remeber your life without that person.This is when u know you lost yourself to someone or maybe found who u really are.

It's unforgetful. 'Mystic' could be an easy way to describe this complicating feeling!! It's the first time you start using worlds like "cutiepie", "honey", "love"!!! God they don't seem too cliche any more. It's when you start taking care of the way you look. It's when you know you look good just by looking at that person. It's when you are dull and grey even when your with your friends and the moment that person come into the room your eyes light up, an uncontrollable smile spreads across your face, it's like you have just started breathing, it's like you've just started living.

I could go on and on. However cheesy it may sound " feels like am in love with love".
To conclude .......
Usne baat ki kuch aise dhang se...
Sapne de gaya woh hazaaron rang ke,
Reh jaaon jaise mai haar ke....
Aur choomein,
woh mujhe pyaar se....

Pehla Nasha, Pehla Khumaar.....

Humanity ....The only relgion

The British author H.G. Wells once said "Our true nationality is mankind".Taking it further from here for me it is also the only true religion as well.

Religion literally means set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, esp. when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affair. Therefore from the above meaning i infer that religion is means to organize us .It was created by human beings themselves in a bid to bind us in a code of conduct that would enable every being to lead a life of happiness and content.

Isn't it ironical then that religion is a source of discord and disharmony in this world of "gods emissaries".Wars are waged in the name of religion which aggravates the situation to the summit of devastation.War exploits peoples instinct for survival by placing them in a situation in which they had to either kill or be killed.War is inhuman ,it not only destroys our present but also our future generations making it a vicious cycle of unending suffering.

Wars cannot be stopped once they starts thus it has to be eliminated at the very beginning when the such an idea germinates in the minds of people. only when humanity is deep rooted within the minds and hearts of people ideas of war hatred jealousy bloodshed are not in sight.It is only when man looks at concepts other than humanity that there is devastation.

Thus just like a mothers milk is food for a baby's body ,Humanity and mankind are food for a person's thoughts.Once strongly ingrained they would fight devilish tendencies of war and religious turmoil.It teaches us to empathise and make peace.

Rather than just following religion on an extrinsic level lets get beneath its hide and see its underlying meaning-Why has it originated?what is it teaching us ? what is it sole purpose?The day we start asking ourselves these questions is the day we have started treading on the path to humanity.....the path to everlasting happiness.....
