what can you give?

Well, I just happen to encounter a good friend of mine who was quite disturbed when he came across a hate group - "**** India" and was responding in his own way to combat and give some comfort to his patriotic instincts.

The cycle of Hatred as I call it cannot be broken by direct encounter! If it could, it would have long been gone. Govt of India, the military, politicians everyone is trying hard to TALK terms over!!! what an irony that after every such attempt there has always been a totally opposite reaction somewhere in the country! Its only after one looses ones mind that they can hate someone beyond a limit I feel. we all dislike stuff. we all dislike people at one or the other time but hold on...... are we really hating the people or their acts and decisions?? question yourself. I feel I only hate or dislike certain acts/words or decisions by people/officials/governments that does not mean I have to hate them for the rest of my life! People/countries are an amalgamation of activities, decisions and attitudes its officials or controlling powers take up. When these controlling authorities are mistaken its them to blame for that one wrong decision (of course that might define the fate of that nation eventually) BUT its only some person's decisions that can be disliked or hated not the nation as a whole or a person entirely!

I think it is rather very naive and un becoming of a person to get into this hate circle and waste time, mind and resources in creating groups to promote hate or to join them in order to refute their argument! both are utter waste. If you feel patriotic and have got your blood boiled if India lost a cricket match or if some hate group was created in some social networking site is that of any use to the country or its people?? even remotely do you think you can influence these screwed up minds? I dont think so... well, if you want to solace your patriotism work towards the benefit of your nation, no effort is small - drop by drop makes an ocean right? so does min by min count. If you have time and intention to work for a better India - open up and do something about it! rather than waste time over with these ridiculous arguments of hatred. 

I feel that if we all Ignore!!that would as well refute the existence of hate.If you encounter such people give love by showing sympathy towards a broken logic for these week minds.

because everyone be it a Pakistani or Iraqi or American or Indian - they are all people and all of them feel pain the same way. Its only sad that they did not get enough love to understand love.

I have a strong belief that we can only give what we have! I have love filled in my heart and hope filled in my mind so I shall give them. If you find people spreading hatred, sympathize that they only have hate to give since may that is the only thing they got in them!!!

Now question yourself - what have you got? love? knowledge? wisdom? peace? logic? coz you only can give what you got!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6pgxLaDdQw - Here is another video that will clear up the picture about wave further.

The only disspointment at this point of time is that it is open to limited number of users and everyone cant as of now use wave/ We either have to be invited by a wave user or subscribe to google in order for us to use this feature. Well, I am not very sure how they give access as yet but my request is still pending! so... hope we have someone inside using wave send out invitations. I am so eager to use this one,,, god! If any of my readers have access pleaseeeee send me an invitation :-) Thanks.

Technology Rocks!

Success - Self Obligatory!

"well, success is the sense of accomplishment that one feels after a job well done from within. It has nothing to do with what others judge upon!" ____Sowmya

I felt that peace and sense of accomplishment when ever I gave my best - That was it...

Many a time we think we gave our best but we actually just become complacent by fooling ourselves that we did all we could. lame excuse! If we extend ourselves towards THE BEST we can do, it is only that person who will know if he reached his potential or if he can do better. Also I think there is always room for improvement and it does not mean that if we can improve, the previous performance was not up to the best! People keep changing, time keeps moving forward and situations keep altering themselves every microsecond. Given all circumstances and advancements I think there is always a room for improvement even if one does their best at one particular sec.

On the other hand, we feel good if people around recognize our efforts, thats where judging/grading and peer opinion comes. I would surely like it if my friends and colleagues think I did good job along with just myself. Sometimes this acknowledgement is necessary too like when your boss is not happy with your work and you think you did a fine job... nooo way that the situation will help! So/// I strongly opine that one has to understand and go according to the situation along with being self obligatory*.

* Self Obligatory in sense that no matter whom we have in the situation to please, it should be oneself to be impressed in order for others to appreciate.

All this musings - coz I am waiting for my sem results?? or some other results --- ahhh... whatever. I gave in my best of best for this semester I give myself a 4.0! now its for the world to agree with me or not... (I know I can sometime be extremely un-agreeable and contradictory to popular beliefs!) whatever be it I can gel well with the situation... :-)
