Is Religion killing Humanity ???


Human being, the most intelligent living thing on earth. We rule over other living creatures, we have reached the moon, we progressed in every field we stepped into…oh wait..!!! There is something we are yet to make progress in. Yeah, the title says so. Religion, the only barrier between spreading peace, the only aspect which people believe blindly and the way of life for some people. But do you think that religion should be given this high priority??? Well NO..!!! That’s what I am writing here. So please lend me your eyes and mind for two minutes.

Let me start wid GOD. Can anyone explain the concept of God?? No one has even seen God but yet we believe in this concept. Its ok if we believe in it but what is the use of giving such a hypothetical concept different names. Forget about names, but why is it necessary to pray in different forms when we know that the one whom we worship is common to every human being?? People say that if we pray from our heart we get everything…it’s a myth. Actually, when we pray from our heart we are setting a goal in our mind and then we strive to achieve it. People are usually successful in these attempts but finally the credit goes God. He might not even know what is happening in this world. Its even ok if we believe in different Gods but is it necessary criticize people who believe in some other God. People say, “live and let live” but do they actually follow it??? Everyone believes that their Almighty is the mightiest. And the funniest part is, its allowed to get into the other team.

God, because of this idea came the concept of religion. Religion according to the definition is a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a supernatural agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs. Humans are foolish to set up different rules for different people. People say blame our ancestors for all these problems but have u every thought if u stop following the concept of religion your kids will have peaceful lives and they wont blame you for war. If our ancestors would have given up their religions there would have been no incidents like the bringing down of Babri Masjid and the riots in Mumbai. Two human beings, nature and persona wise maybe identical but the thing that destroys this similarity is religion. There are even people who don’t shake hands with the people of the different team. They always believe that what they doing is absolutely right according to their so called “holy books”. These holy books were made centuries ago when d population was scarce, so people used to stay happily because the other team was far away. But now the world is becoming a small place so its very difficult for us to manage.

Consider a small example of you and your friend belonging to a different religion. You spent all the time together eating, laughing and enjoying. But when the word praying comes you are the reciprocal of your friend. Every religion is right as long as they promote peace. The holy books never ask you to fight then why is Man creating new rules to ruin himself. Even though we know what we are doing is completely baseless and hypothetical yet the most intelligent living thing on earth is not ready to give up.

We all are so lucky that God at least gave us a chance to come down on the earth and survive. We are missing out the golden opportunity to spread peace and love. Humanity is more important than any other religion because here we live as individuals free to choose the way of life but we are confined to a definite domain by following the concept of religion. Wake up guys and try to overcome this situation by forgetting the concept which has only been successful to spread hatred.
HEAL THE WORLD, MAKE IT A BETTER PLACE,
FOR YOU AND FOR ME AND THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE....!!!

India and Mumbai



“At the stroke of midnight hour
When the whole world sleeps
India will awake to LIFE and FREEDOM”
These are the lines from the speech of our first PM delivered at the Red Fort. Anyone who comes across these lines will surely think that India will progress in leaps and bounds. But the fact is though we tried our level best to come up like a jack in d box, we were never even able to come up as an air bubble in water. Everything I mention below has Bombay in it. But why am I writing here about Bombay when the title says something bout India also??? That’s because I feel that Bombay is the place where you can see the whole of India.
I have never been to any other metropolitan city in India so the facts that I am typing down is solely on the observation I have made in Bombay…oh!!! Its Mumbai now… :-(

Let me start with my daily routine. I wake up early in d morning and peep out of my window. All I can see is empty roads which are full of dust. The visibility is almost zero because of d smog. But still I find people out for morning walks. These people feel that running a few miles would help them a lot but the fact is that by walking on these roads you are killing yourself. But I don’t mind going out of my house that early because there is no traffic to trouble me. Then I go to my wash-basin to brush my teeth, only to find that there is not a single drop of water coming out the tap because of the recently implied water cut. Somehow I finish my chores and get ready to leave for my college only to find that some kid has urinated in my elevator. People don’t care for such petty things because they think that, “bus bees second ka to sawaal hai”.
Its about seven in the morning when I board a bus to d railway station only to find it jam-packed. Thank God that there is no traffic at that time. People in the bus claim that they have no spare time but they do have enough time to sort out the gutkha and then litter the streets. All are multi-tasking you see !!! The staircases of the railway station are d worst. They paint them every year with a silver paint but d very next dat it gets a new coat of d paan and gutkha stains. I finally reach the platform and wait for the train. All the trains that arrive are about 15mins late. We purchase a FC pass jus to run away from d crowd but this delay makes the FC compartment equally crowded. The time taken by any train to reach Mumbai Central from goregaon is about 45 mins(theoretical)…but it usually takes an hour to reach there. Coming out from MC all I can see is d station all littered n beggars on the bridge asking for alms. Then comes the taxi ride. The taxi drivers are never ready to take passengers if d destination is close by. If at all we get a taxi we need to have seat belts because the taxi driver doesn’t know what a signal is.(not only taxi drivers but also every other ppl on wheels).

I after I leave my college d same pattern continues but this time its worst because TROUBLE+TRAFFIC JAMS=NUISANCE. The local trains are so crowded that you cannot even imagine to board it. Let me tell you about the people in the train. In every train there is group who crack jokes, play cards , even sing and dance. People here can get along with strangers very well. They are even ready to distribute sweets in d compartment for any gud news or occation. The crowd in Mumbai constitutes from the poorest of the poorest to d richest in the world dats the reason Mumbai is called the city of dreams.
The middle-class are the best people for a stranger to get along because the poor don’t have any work n d rich hardly care about their work. Its very common to brush against people here. A middle class guy wont even know about you brush past him but d rich give back a pissed off look. Everyone here believe that d city is owned by them but none will do anything for its development. They even pick up quarrel wid you when u advice them not to litter the city. The common dialogue is “Tera baap ka road hai kya??”The only people Indians hate are themselves.

Now something about the festivals. Many festivals are celebrated here. One of the main reasons for soo many public holidays. Celebrating a festival n maintaining the culture is very important but that doesn’t mean that we should trouble others during our festivals. But sadly it happens here. Calling in local bands to play folk music right on the main road is very common. People here believe that the louder you play music the merrier it gets…..bullshit..!!! Your eardrum is almost destroyed even if u pass by these processions.

During Elections every party comes and begs for vote. There are systems like vote for a particular party for monetary benefits. Every politicians say that they’ll help a lot for d development of the city. They are all bullies. None of d politician has said that he will make d city cleaner n safer. Everyone is discussing about water and bigger issues. The issues which had to solved at grassroot level is stretched so far that it later becomes impossible to overcome them. Politicians are busy changing names of different places n promoting regionalism. They fight against people of different religion and create a bias among people. They get all the luxuries they want. Corrupt politicians is a common sight here. Infact every govt. employee is corrupted. It takes about six months for the police to file chargesheet. It takes years to solve an open and shut case. People like me are all sad about this because we are helpless. A wise human being can never survive among these people.
There many more things to type but I end it here. D positive side about Mumbai and India will be posted later.

Value of love.


LOVE is like an ocean
Disliking it is a wrong notion

LOVE is like a wish granting tree
It will never let you go free

LOVE is like a test
You have to prove that you are the best

LOVE is like cottage cheese
Once you are in it life is at ease

LOVE is like a big house
Do your best to satisfy your spouse

LOVE is a strife
So think twice before selecting your wife

LOVE is a prize
So………never forget me in your life.

Gizmo War


Once in the house of Mr. Techno
There was a great war between his gizmos
Sony tried to defeat moserbaer
But the result of this quarrel was nowhere
Then came Mr. Logitech with his mouse
This led to the wreakage of house
Imation tried to lock the house with his keys
But I-Key again set everyone free
Mr. Samsung tried to throw light at this war
Seagate closed his gate at this war
Mr. Mercury was the brave commander
Who fell prey to the wires of Sidewinder
The war ended when there was a powercut
But Mr. Techno’s house turned into a ruined hut
Mr. Techno was cunning to record these moments on his JVC
And finally burned it on his DVD
Using his powerful Intel Inside PC

Mumbai Meri Jaan


The place where work is worship
Where there’s no time to give work a slip
Where people come from all around the world
To earn some money or make some gold
Where bomb blasts and terrorism fails to conquer
Where the spirit of the people never falters
Where malpractices and corruption are always on the paper
Where there are less buyers and more takers
Where there is more garbage on roads than in bins
Where people don’t have time for their kin
Where poor live in huts and look thin
Where money is the only key to survive
Where weak and beggers are left to die
Where life is a ocean and people are ready to dive
Where Bad and selfish are more than Good men
Where there are leopard on streets than in dens
Where roads are full of potholes
Where trains are crowded and men hang on poles
Where pure air is a matter of history
Where teens are not as interested in books as in chemistry
Where lovers try to find a place of privacy
Where political parties try to show their supremacy
Where the city looks like a swimming pool in monsoon
Where mothers ask their children to come home soon
Where TV serials are given more time
Where exercise and workout occurs only once a while
Where wealth is the sole moto of life
Where men find less time for their wife
Where children are addicts to internet
Where there is more clay than prey in the fishing nets
Where afforestation is inversely proportional to growth in population
Where there less people in homes than in railway stations
Where people are very much dependent on BEST
Where the working class dont have time to rest
Where life is a test and you have to prove your best
This is the Indian city to the west
Which people call Mumbai – The MIGHTIEST
