JUST MOVING ON-19


Willingly or unwillingly each and every one of us is bound by some religion or the other,and we are supposed to follow some rituals even if we denounce everything pertaining to them.Well I don't want to go into the analysis of why do we do such things or what should we do rather I'd like to express my astonishment over the friction which often takes place between one's personal religion and society.
Well I'm not a student of philosophies so to expect a great amount of theoretical knowledge from me is unusual for sure.I base my ideas on the daily experiences in the life and how do I do it?Well I minutely observe a lot of things usually ignored by other fellows.
Well the topic I picked on here is something which is related to everyone personally and yet no one talks about it.In fact religion is considered too pure to be debated openly in this part of the world.I'm fed up with this I know everything-you know nothing kind of practice.We all have personal Gods apart from the usual ones.Then there are some characteristics of that personal God which we like to emulate in our daily lives.But the contradiction although slight occurs here.I fail to understand which is of greater importance,our personal relationship with a God or our relationship with a lot of people around.I mean we are ready to kill in the name of that God.And before I move forward,I'd like to mention I don't believe in God in any form,and anyone believing that way is delusional for sure.I believe in a manifest formless God which is understandably hard to conceive for everyone and hence we need forms.
Society,from small to large scale is of utmost importance,and we should dedicate our lives for the welfare of the society.This is what we learn everywhere but when it comes to practice are we following it?I don't think so.Definitely not when I see a human killing his brother for not recognizing his religion.Well now at least with such development in human thought and ideas this is about time each and every one of us question the religion we follow.The time for blind faith is gone,now is the age of rationale.All right now let me share something on a very small scale though.Some friend of mine is following a ritual which is very hard to follow especially in present time.By hard I mean the ritual seems irrelevant these days.Naturally he does not find a lot of supporters.I don't know what is his belief but he is ready to even spoil his social relations in order to follow that ritual.Well each one of us is free to have any belief but sometimes it seems strange how does a personal God become such important that a guy is ready to spoil his usual life over it.
Well moving on I don't feel the need of any ritual is anything else than bringing us on the right path.But torturing oneself over it,well what to say!

NAGALAND: FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Not too many people have Nagaland in their bucket list. Uncomfortable roads, poor transport system and a lot of corruption are a few factors which contribute to it. Added to it the stories of still active insurgency, Nagaland although an extremely beautiful hill state doesn’t manage to have a lot of tourism going on except for the Hornbill festival in December every year. But, my case is slightly different. Affinity towards the culture of the entire North east, plus a desire to visit not to tourist frequented places made Nagaland a definite must go. So, when I got time and saved some money, I immediately planned a trip to the beautiful hilly state with my girlfriend. The Nagaland express Since, th is was my second trip towards the hills of the North east, I was more confident and familiar with the sytem than the previous time. We booked a filght to Guwahati and from there we took a train to Dimapur aptly named : The ”Nagaland Express”. This...

TRIP TO HARIDWAR AND RISHIKESH

A trip to places like Haridwar and Rishikesh is always a source of peace,joy and spirituality and when we went to these places this month, it was no different.We had some free time and I along with my two other friends decided to visit Haridwar as well as Rishikesh for a short 4 day trip.As I had spent my childhood in a nearby town,naturally these places were well travelled by me . Day-1:Bus to Haridwar We got up early in the morning,at around 0445,hurriedly got dressed up,called each other and ran off to the ISBT at kashmiri gate to catch an early bus to Haridwar.I was extremely careful to catch the bus as early as possible because of the traffic at the border growing up a few hours later.We expected to catch the bus at around 0700,but as it always happens,we were delayed by around 30 minutes and managed to board the bus as 0730.It was a smooth journey,early in the morning a lot of fresh air poured in,later as it was not too hot,we enjoyed riding the bus in the bri...

JUST MOVING ON-44

This one here,it is for the times I feel really low.Yes,there are times when even I can't have a control over my thoughts and the result is a feeling mixed with traces of depression.The only problem with negative feelings is that they tend to multiply and expand within the mind and beyond our control whatsoever.So,in taming my emotions,among others this negativity has been one of the hardest. We all have some points or  should say places or chain of events which make us feel extremely happy about ourselves.I call them the “recharge points”.These points work for almost everyone.I wish to type up about mine,so that whenever I feel down and out or in the future I can come across this page,I remember and cherish the happy days I'm living in right now. So here are my recharge points which make me take control over myself in the case of some negativity: I.A LOT OF HUMANS I am someone who absolutely loves the crowds.Whenever there is a gathering I don't miss the opportunity to ob...
