Life - Unpredictable!

It was a dark rainy, cold night. Sitting at the bus stop near Darjeeling, a 28-year-old dejected boy was waiting for the bus to return home. The boy got a new job as a bank officer, but he recognized that this was not what he had set out to do after the first two weeks of his work. Perhaps he was missing Durga Puja in his homeland, or maybe he could have been a better army officer.  Suddenly he received a text message from the bus company stating that the bus will be an hour late. "Oh my God , disgusting" ; he said to himself. In the dark, he noticed a ray of light from a distance.  " Looks like a tea stall. This is exactly what  I need in this cold "; he said to himself. He dashed to the stall with his small suitcase. It was a tiny stall with only two biscuit jars, one chewing gum jar, and a small teapot. He noticed an almost 80-year-old man sitting inside wearing a sweater and scarf with only one arm.  The old man offered tea to the boy even before he

World of Expectations

Expectations, the word itself is a burden, right? How do we stop expecting? This is pragmatically impossible! Believe me, we don’t expect by our will, it’s our nature which forces us to expect from others.We actually live in a world of expectation since inception. Remember, during our childhood, when our parents used to return from the market, we expected a bar of chocolate or a toy? And then eventually one-day when our parent forgets to bring, we used to get hurt by that particular “reality” which we were not expecting! This is the first time maybe when we faced the transformation of reality being different from our expectations.  But do we stop expecting from parents after that? The answer is 'No' for most of us. And when surprisingly  one-day, we get an expensive toy we dreamt of , it feels like we are on the top of the world because that reality is beyond our expectations. This is a very simple example which I have chosen to explain.  Moreover, a s we grow older we fac

CoLoRs

Color plays an impeccable role in setting up our mood,emotions,feelings and state of mind. Objects reflect light in different combinations of wavelength which our brain pick up on and interpret them into the phenomenon we call color.Hypothetically,there are  seven colors (i.e Violet,Indigo,Blue,Green,Yellow,Orange,Red) which we collectively call VIBGYOR. Thus according to scientists, being a mere wave length within the visible spectrum of the human eyes, color impacts our daily activities in a minimal amount. Interestingly, colors does play a huge role in our religion. In religions, colors goes much deeper than surface decoration,it symbolizes state of mind.Buddhist believe that meditating on the individual colors and their essences is a way to achieve spiritual transformation. Color Blue in Buddhism symbolizes coolness & infinity, Red exemplifies Fire and life force; where as in Hinduism, proper use of color is believed to keep people happy and cheerful. Here, Red signifie

TRIPLE TALAQ

Talaq is an Arabic word which means “freeing or undoing the knot” or in other words “Divorce”. Nowadays the word "Triple Talaq" in India has been a subject of controversy and debate. On 22 August 2017, the supreme court of India deemed instant Triple Talaq unconstitutional and had literally put a ban on it. Everybody has his or her own views on the subject, some are pessimistic about the ban of Triple Talaq while some are optimistic .But to know the factual meaning of Triple Talaq, it is important for us to know about what Quran & Hadith states about Talaq and for this we need go deep into the history when it's all started. According to Quran or Islam, there is no verse or statement which validates the notion of Triple Talaq in one sitting. During pre-Islamic era, many laws were made to avoid Talaq. The law states that if a man divorces his wife for the third time then it is not lawful to take her back. Moreover, the laws state that one can give divorce only duri

Discrimination of Languages

In today's world, we are facing a lot of discrimination in every aspects . But one of the most substandard discrimination is the discrimination of languages. So basically in our world,most of the people think that the most superior language is English. People nowadays are following western culture only because they are finding it more 'fashionable' than the other, and on their process of following the western culture they are following the language of western people which is nothing but English. They are not only following it but also started discriminating others on the basis of language! As far as I am concerned with my country , people who can speak in English are grouped as superior people than any other people who cannot speak in English. This type of discrimination hurts when people who are not from English medium background do not get a job instead of having a lot of knowledge. The only reason behind not getting the job is that they cannot speak in 'Englis

The True Meaning Of Jihad

Constant struggle for justice manifests itself as JIHAD. Nowadays Jihad is one of the most abused and misused Islamic concepts. We only think that Jihad is a war of aggression , or  war to protect  Islam but it is not completely true. The term "Jihad" is very popular nowadays and everybody has an opinion about it but hardly anyone of us knows the true meaning of Jihad. Jihad means directed struggle and can take a number of forms. A tradition of Prophet declares that " the supreme Jihad is against oneself" . Which means it is against one's ego, greed, and insatiable desires. Jihad can also be a aim to uplift the social development of a community. Jihad can also take the form  of physical struggle against oppression or maltreatment and aggression. Jihad is thus much more than a simply 'holy war'. As it is written and said, Jihad can never be a war of aggression, or a war for territorial gain. It is totally a defensive war which places certain respons

Thoughts,Deeds & Result of your Deeds

Deed - It means an action that is performed intentionally or consciously . So basically, what you do or any action that is performed by you is called as "Deed" and what happens after your deed is termed as the "Result of your Deeds". But before everything arrives the "Thought". Thought is something which drives your deed or action , that whether your action is going to be positive , correct, appropriate,legitimate ,veridical or it is going to be negative, incorrect, hurtful,inappropriate and thus the result of your deeds change accordingly. Before performing any action ,thought strikes your mind,sense ,or conception for some seconds and that decides whether your deeds are going to be on a right path or vice-versa. Suppose, you have seen a man dropping his wallet on the road accidentally. Then, you picked up his wallet , at that moment two kinds of thought will strike your mind, (i.e. one will be the good one- which will ask you to return the wallet t
