Need of life

What exactly we need in life . The debate is ongoing and each one of us had different understanding and justification for the same .
But I believe that the most important need apart from food , shelter and clothing is “Mental peace “
It’s a state of mind which doesn’t need any comfort , money and lavish life style , instead it’s a inner clam which gets reflected in every day life .
I had more metal piece when my monitory situation was not so overwhelming , but I was with me whole family together .
Now , even though money is not an issue any more , things seems to be at its place , but some how , mental peace has gone . Earlier meditation used to be exciting , now even for a minute , my scattered mind goes in all the directions and its very difficult to keep my threads at one point .
Life has really changed and so the meaning of peace.

Fall of Left in Bengal – Justified

I have always loved the idea of communism , but in a restricted fashion . But the blunder Left has done in Bengal is very much visible now , with the complete fall of party in the recent assembly election .
“Change” as most of the leaders are sighting as the reason has actually not been the decisive reason , but the way the state has been perished is the reason. The horrible idea of Hartal, Bandh , cadre etc has in fact made the common man lazy and irresponsible .
“Kya koi saukh se sarkar dadalta hai --- nahi , agar aap acche se kaam kare to koi change kyu chahega “
Also the ideology on which communism stands is not at all visible if you go to the interior of Bengal. I got chance to visit my friends place in a small village and I was surprised to see that the only concrete building in the area was that of Left’s party office . With no roads , water and electricity , actually the communist leaders were far away from the problems of common man.
It’s the most blessed period in the life of people of Bengal , but the tough road lies ahead of Mamtadi to deliver what she promised with sever resistance from the communists since it has been in blood now .

Maa Saraswati

Recently I was with my brother in law in a mall in Gurgaon. He is a shopping freak and so even though we didn’t had anything planned, his impulsive nature pulled me as well.
We finally went to a shop which had candles, paintings , idols etc and was really big in size. From quite some time , I was looking for a Maa Saraswati idol . To my surprise , out of 100’s of idols , there was not a single idol of Maa Saraswati . The racks were full of Ganesha and Lakshmi idols .
May be the time has come when the most sought after god are Ganesha and Lakshmi. We all are only interested in material and monetary gains and “vidya “ stands very low in our priority .
But the truth still remains that if the elder sister Maa Saraswati is with you , Lakshi the younger sister will automatically follow . But not the vice versa .
Time has really changed .
