Law - Lawlessness

The headline of news papers yesterday was, release of Ramalinga Raju from the jail on bail. The famous tainted founder of one time most admired company Satym Computers.
Its really horrible the way law works and shows the world that do what you want, but please don’t leave any evidence behind. With such a massive fraud, which actually damaged our nation’s global image, how can he be even send out on a bail?
This is sad and is sending wrong signal to the society. Thousands of people lost their hard earned earnings, many lost there livelihood, still the court didn’t had anything to prove guilty. I really wonder, cant we have exception for cheaters like Raju.
Its acceptable that no innocent should be declared guilty and so the law needs proof for everything. But cant we have exception, so that one things twice before doing anything as Raju did.

Indian Priority

Is really commonwealth games a nation pride??
I don’t think so .There are other things on high priority , but the way other issues are handled , seems we are only left with one issue , ie "Commonwealth games " . No one even bothers to see what’s happening around. Issues like Maoist , Leh mishap etc are far below on priority .
Its evident again that we hardly care for human life . National pride on the cost of common lives doesn’t makes any sense to me .
And the reason for all these is "WE"
We have really lost that emotional link in this fast moving world around us and that has made non emotional issues more important. We are more concerned about the result of a match or commonwealth games update rather than issues which should have actually touched us .
May be that’s the reason we are taken on ride now by the government specially on the rising prices, since they know, we are busy with something else and wont resent.

Ultimate aim of life

The soul derives immediate pleasure in righteous deeds (satkarma). After decease of the physical body, in jivas securance of emancipation (sadgati), the agency is again these deeds. Thus, both in this world (loka) and the other (parloka), inner happiness depends on acts of righteousness. The soul’s interest, therefore, consists in acquisition of spiritual merit (punya-prayojana). Interests of the gross body lie in a contrary direction; the external senses and the mind long for worldly enjoyments to the maximum possible extent. By adopting this course of action, man spends his whole life trying to satisfy the insatiable appetites of the mortal body and, in the process, goes on sinning and accumulating demerits. The senses do get entertained this way, but the soul has to suffer both here and in the hereafter. When interests of the soul are catered to, the body is put to discomfort. It has to endure the rigours of austerity, sacrifice, continence, sense-control altruistic service, charitableness etc. Thus, we find that interests of the body and that of the soul, are mutually exclusive; in the pleasure of one, lies the pain of the other.

One & Only Paulo Coelho

Amazing writer ….hehehe ..i know you might be thinking that Maneesh has started reading Angregi ( English ) books , but its not…the fascination is only due to my wife …who just loves reading his books and is mad about it.
I have also tried sometimes and its really amazing . He unknowingly touches your life and don’t even know when you have started following your dreams ( as he says ) . I have found that he talks a lot about dreams . May be its true not to give up on the dreams , just need to follow the signs .
About Paulo : Paulo Coelho was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He attended a Jesuit school. As a teenager, Coelho wanted to become a writer. Upon telling his mother this, she responded with "My dear, your father is an Engineer. He's a logical, reasonable man with a very clear vision of the world. Do you actually know what it means to be a writer?"After researching, Coelho concluded that a writer "always wears glasses and never combs his hair" and has a "duty and an obligation never to be understood by his own generation," amongst other things.

Who am I, Who are you & who is Thee

Life always seems to be a mystery. And then comes the usual question, why at all life???
Before leaving for Mumbai, just had a small chat with my father and he recalled of an old poem which he read years back. The poet narrates few lines and says, when I was small, I used to ask this question from my mother, and that question is still unanswered.
Who am I … Who are you ….Who is Thee
Three sentence, but can bring your life upside down.
Why there is a birth, why there exist death and who is there who manages the whole show. Can in my life time I can solve this mystery of knowing myself.
Swami Ramakrishna says: Why life should occur at all. Survival of the fittest does not carry us far. Life has little survival vale compared with matter from which it is supposed to have sprung. A rock survives for millions of years, while the oldest tree is few 1000 years old.
So all the human level evolution is governed and dominated by the power of spirit in man, not by material forces.
