!(HIMSA) == Ahimsa

November 29, 2008

Ahimsa, does this word have any value in today’s world? “We want to be heard, our view should be accepted” is what every rebel outfit claims as sole reason for its existence. Is that what they do? This big symbol of doubt should be considered seriously by every person who funds it, every person who supports it, and every person who follows it. Do they strive to achieve their objective in true spirits? Or have they reaped any useful long lasting results that could be adored by humanity? Are they trying to instill patriotic feelings in the youth for restoring law and order with touch of harmony? Else are they blinding them with feeling of hatred and disgust by taking advantage of their pathetic backgrounds to gain their personal motives?

“Use heart for life and brains to survive”

It’s no use to blame each other for the cause, but the last moments for rooting up those causes from human history with mutual aid. Every nation should first accept that a destructive material is not only hazardous for the enemy, but also for them. You cannot buy a friend and also an enemy. We as souls who have concern to hand over a safe future to our younger generation must work out to find a solution to remove this hatred from these blindfolded radicals instead of eliminating them from face of earth. Otherwise it would result in further aggravation of the already hurt hearts filled with feelings of distrust and anger. It may sound odd, unrealizable; even you might think that whether I am out of my brains. I can understand your feelings of having lost your loved ones due to these psycho attacks, your fume of anger for having lost the meaning of your life. Though Nathuram Godse was able to kill the mortal form of Gandhi, but he failed to in his motive, that is to eliminate the gandhian philosophy. This philosophy of Non violence had inspired many souls to become true leaders of humanity. This piece of approach called Ahimsa helped India to free itself from the clutches of colonization powers, identify her true identity and flourish as a world power. It had made the most atrocious, arrogant colonial power to accept its defeat just with a smile and made it to think that it’s not burden of white man to educate the black, but he too is a human. We have to prove to the world that we don’t have only an adorable history, but we do create new ones for every age.
Let us Non violently eliminate this feelings of violence from globe together as a human race!

“Its root meaning is holding onto truth, hence truth-force. I have also called it love-force or soul-force. In the application of satyagraha, I discovered in the earliest stages that pursuit of truth did not admit of violence being inflicted on one’s opponent but that he must be weaned from error by patience and compassion. For what appears to be truth to the one may appear to be error to the other. And patience means self-suffering. So the doctrine came to mean vindication of truth, not by infliction of suffering on the opponent, but on oneself” – Mahatma Gandhi

Toughies

Toughie – questions when posed to you for answering, though you know the answer or want to express your opinion, you can’t do so! Irrespective of whether your country provides you the freedom of speech or not, if yes and whether it has sub clauses or not, etc. Because you are forced to follow the civilities of public behavior and expressions, as your words are valued. Please note, the usage of word VALUED, it implies your market rate or brand rate.

However the questions may be silly, you should not crack out. But yes, with your civil reply you can crack the questioner, but it rarely does occur as it needs extra wit. Let me cite you some instances of such stupid questions which are valued lot in day to day activities.

Whenever I tune a channel in my television, that too during festival days, your eye sockets will easily spot interviews of famous actors of upcoming releases directed by famous directors. The very first dissecting question from the airhead interviewer to the charismatic interviewee would be “How did you feel to act under such a big director and famous banner?” And guys you could obviously guess the answer which runs in the lines like” it was a great experience, I learned a lot from him, etc……..” To add more to his fate, the actor( actress, comedians, support cast……..who ever who has face value) have to repeat the same answer for many interviews in a row, still more worse is that we by luck have to hear all those, every time they are broadcasted.

Next toughie poser I would like to discuss about is RJs. These species of mankind are really unique. They can talk non stop in Tamil, with out bothering whether they are informative, or non stop nuisance to the listeners. These guys favorite toughie is “Aprom epadi irrukinga?” even if they are standing before a cemetery!

Coming to the college life, which I experienced in my near past, I would like to give first privilege to the Defense time of final year project scenario. After each member of the project has explained in detail about the various aspects of the project, the most minds cracking considered question pops out from the scholarly professor would be “What is your contribution”, though you might have said it in your objective itself.

I have got the opportunity to present five technical papers in national level symposiums organized in various colleges. As they say though Indians vary by language, traditions, color, etc. they have same patriotic feeling in heart, Indianess. So is the case here too, irrespective of the college and paper I presented, I was posed with same question “Is it feasible to implement?” Hey come on man, I am presenting a theoretical solution, if it was a practical one, then I would go for project presentation.

At last I want to end with funniest of all; we would have written aim of an experiment in our record/exam using words which are as present in question, but with extra word “To” add as prefix to the sentence. Example: Qà“Implement …………………..” Aim à “To implement……………………….” Rewarding part of it is you would be awarded 5 marks for this answer. Wasn’t it really rewarding? And perhaps only few such toughies exist today!

Note: The above idea and some instances were borrowed (also got inspired) from the cranks corner of T.Nagar Talk.
