Revival...!!

I still am wondering why I left this blog so idle for a very long time; not that I'm a seasoned blogger like some of my close friends who are really good at what and how they pen. Seeing all those blogs...yeah, you heard me right - I said 'seeing' not 'reading'.;-)

To be honest, I never enjoyed much of reading. For whatsoever reason, even if I open a book with great enthusiasm, its not long before I doze-off with the book still in my hand. But, I tend to read something which catches my eye and attention. I guess am more interested in a writing based on whats in the first few lines or pages (going beyond "Don't judge a book by its cover"? LOL!!). Sounds crazy right....? But, believe me....I was almost always right, though the ratio of what I saw to what I read is not too impressive a number. Anyways, impressed and inspired by all those bloggers (my friends included) out there who are good and different in their own ways, a random thought - 'Why not me?' passed my mind. Just before that thought breezed away, this blog started. The posts following that momentary thought are some of my strongest feeling and beliefs. There were a few more nice (crazy,if you prefer) posts that were to follow. Before that could happen, the interest to blog subsided and got lost amidst various other things. Not so important things.....just things, I don't even remember what those time-killing events were. Or, maybe I don't want to remember? Ironically, I'm very proud of my memory; I kind of can recollect many moments of the past, or may be its just selective memory.:)) Maybe, its like that very wonderful sentence - 'You only see what you want to see'; in this case, I should say - 'You
only remember what you want to remember'? Or, maybe it was just like many of the things which I start with zeal but slowly lose interest to pursue them. But, I still am zealous about few things that I'd love to nurture, but just don't find that trigger which kindled the thoughts and passion earlier.

"Let me give it another genuine try,
And ponder what (not)to blog and why;
I Hope, this time I keep it going,
Not wondering 'what the heck I was doing."

Let this be the revival of this blog, and here's hoping atleast a few more "random thoughts" will make it onto here!!

Of Caste and Religion.....

Why do we have Castes and Religions? Like many others, I was, and am haunted by this question. I'm still trying to figure out possible reasons. It seems like a brain-child of our ancestors of yesteryears; formulated to create a social hierarchy, group people per their chores and use them for their own needs. Something that started several years ago, still grows, courtesy our ever power hungry politicians. Though people are trying to forget the caste and religion feeling, the so called leaders have been nurturing the feelings and cashing on the same. We call ourselves the hi-tech era, 21st century, modern world etc etc., but are still entangled in the web of caste and religion. There are still people who restrict temples and mosques to the respective religions. Little do they realize the fact that there is only one supreme power. Its we who depict the almighty in different forms. If each of us are asked to depict or visualize the supreme being, each one would have a different pictur...

Inconvenient Truth!!

Ever wondered why there has been abrupt changes of climate/weather all across the world? Ever thought why the summers are getting hotter, and winters colder? Downpours no rains, floods, earthquakes, loss of coast line, and many a disaster that seem like wrath of nature. Ever thought of the reasons behind these life endangering events? "Global Warming" takes the blame for all these events of nature. Wondering who is to be blamed for Global Warming? We. All those who watched 2004's "The Day After Tomorrow" might have got a hint of the power of Global Warming. Most of us watched it as a movie; but, very few of us realized that that is a future inevitable, if proper steps are not taken to protect our "Planet Earth". Life-threating changes that started increasing beginning last decade forces us to think about Global Warming. Means to curtail the increasing fury of nature is not just a fight against Global Warming, but safeguarding the very existence of mank...

Food........For Thought.

The lexicon meaning of 'Food for Thought' is 'anything that provides mental stimulus for thinking', 'intellectual nourishment' etc. But, recently I came across a website that made me think of another meaning for the same. The website contains a kind of Quiz on Vocabulary. For every word that you get right, United Nations donates 20 grains of Rice to help fight world hunger; so the site says. True or not, you don't lose anything trying to play the game, right? Give it a try, your 'Thought' might help someone with 'Food'. Now, that's what I call......'Food for Thought'. Go on, check your vocab at - http://freerice.com/
