JUST MOVING ON-43


There are certain issues which we as a whole,on account of our luxurious lifestyle face and some of which have the potential to threaten even our survival on the very planet we originated!One of them is ever increasing pollution.
Well,look everywhere around us,we have polluted almost everything nature provided us for free.Be it fresh air in the morning,or the clean river water,even the land on which we dwell,we have not left anything.And to make things worse,instead of realising our mistakes,the general human thought is more or less cherishing these 'achievements'!I certainly like many of our fellows feel pained looking at the apathy of our surrounding environment.Take for instance river Ganga.We call her our mother,and rightly so.Afterall she is the caretaker of about 70 crore people of our country.Had she not been here,we'd not be having our foods and supplies as easily as we have today.And just think about how do we thank her for that!By dumping industrial waste,by dumping our sewers,by forcing her to take away all the dirt we create everyday.Had she been a real mother,how'd she respond?She'd do nothing but cry looking at our madness.We are ready to destroy everything in our lust for luxury.
Pollution is not the only thing that should worry us,although it should be the first one on the priority list.Now,if we talk of pollution we find hollow talks everywhere.All talk and no action at all.Look at yamuna right here,crores have been wasted but the situation has been same for past 40 years.
I don't think mere talk is of any use,as far as pollution is concerned.Many a papers have been published,but no action.We need to change our attitude towards pollution which should be drastic and deterministic in nature.I mean there must be a time frame based planning which should be precise as well as comprehensive.The industries which by far have the maximum role in polluting rivers followed by municipal waste will have to realise the hazard they are pushing on us just for the sake of profits.
I am personally grieved looking at the situation of our rivers at present and can't find a way how to express it. I mean it can't be that millions of our people are being tortured by virtue of their ignorance,and we are sitting over it.We should be doing something over it.And right then I feel what is that something?maybe writing in public domain,well its being done by thousands already but does it have an impact?No,so move over..
What about being in the govt and implementing our policies,I don't think govt servants can have such autonomy!So,by far the best option for me seemingly is to study and study further until I get some recognition.
Being a science student I have the privilege of being in the front line as far as research in this field is concerned.So,if I can take a step back and well,concede some luxuries of life for the sake of people around me,it'll be satisfying,for me at least.I don't have a grand career plan for me,just because I know whatever situation I'm in,I'll not have a grudge against anyone or anything.So,if there is nothing to gain/lose why think about it!
Instead I can focus my attention on some of the problems we face today and find ways to eliminate them.This way I can keep myself busy as well as earn some money for my survival here.Life is not that big as we sometimes thing.These 80 years will pass too soon and at last we'll have a realisation that we were chasing the wrong thing.I realise it now and hence I'm very cautious about what I'm chasing..
The grand time scale,in which our tiny human lives seem like a tiny drop in the infinite ocean,sometimes leaves me awestruck!I mean look at the importance we give to our so tiny lives which I believe originates from our ego.Nothing matters in the long run,nothing here is to stay and the firm ground we so readily believe in,does not exist at all.How horrible and depressing it feels!Sad but true.Nothing existing here has the attributes of permanence,and here we are crying over our tiny lives.
The inter relation between modern physics and ancient eastern ideas,is really an eye opener for me and being interested in the philosophy of modern physics and equally backed by the teachings of Buddha,I look forward to exploring more and more secrets nature has for us.

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...

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...

POWER OF GOODNESS WITHIN

As children,we are a born innocent,carefree and of course we love unconditionally.As we grow up,in the society,we are taught that certain things are right ,while certain things are wrong and we begin shaping up our personalities accordingly.We are taught that certain values within us are agreeable while some are not.Some things we should develop some things we should not.Soon after we begin to see the good and bad of the world.We too realize everything is not that rosy in here,as we used to believe in childhood.The world does seem harsh on us at times and sometimes we feel like we have been hit hard. I want to focus on the personality that we develop all through this.As we grow older the only thing we carry forward are our personalities.I am a firm believer in reincarnation and I think the personalities are carried forward through different lifetimes.But I'll not talk about reincarnations here,let's get limited to this life itself.From childhood to death it is only ...
