Don'T U Say Quit !!

When things go wrong,
As they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.


Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow.


Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far ;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

i only felt it shud be in a separate site... so that d reason i have a new acc.. a new blog...

so when u feel life is too boring , too simple... jus click on this link " Buried Truths "

bye 4 now!

Nice tot aint it!

i'm one of the thousands of followers of BIG B's blog! today, when i saw his entry,he for past few days is writing abt the mumbai massacre and stuff related to it..
this was one of the comments he recieved ....

Though Indians have paid a big cost….because sometimes the deal turns out to be costly….but look at the other side it, we should be thankful to the coward terrorists………who attacked Mumbai…..they did something unknowingly…..for sure they would have never imagined…They have done what our politicians could never do during last 61 years…..The have brought all Indians together…….!!

worth a tot !

one more blog

hi! 've jus created another blog, this time in wordpress... do find time to visit ..

thank u...

waiting for comments... wishing to reply

yet another tragic date with 26th......

Be it 2001 Jan 26th , when an earthquake rocked India with its epicentre at BHUJ, or be it the 2004 26th DEC Tsunami which devastated the coastal region of India and now, 26th of NOV 2008 has shocked us and the mixed emotions grief, anguish , anger,scare, insecurity, distrust and wat not!

only change this time is tat this is but not natural disaster but a dasterdly act of insane, inhuman nature which wants to spread terror into the minds of the ppl of the world! they have only this as their goal.... and 'm affraid they have succeeded this time.... DAMN!

i'm cricket match! part 2

well, i wholly dearly wanted to be the part of the crowd today at KSCA to see few of my fav sportsmen do their stuff on the field!

we(me and my 2 cousins) tried a lot to get the tickets... but we gt to kno that the tickets which on sale were sold out 3 days prior to the match and the news reports which stated abt LAthi Charge on the fans who went to buy tickets made us not to even attempt for going after them !

we tried thru other sources to get passes... we tried a lot...

and u kno wat... we got the passes!!

we were sooo happy with the tot that we would be der when the fled lights would be turned on and the stadium is lit by the artificial lights... i remembered those scenes from my past experience ind v sa , it was a sight to watch i tell u!

but our (well atleast mine) happiness turned to anguish once we heard that there were only 2 passes available and we were 3!

at first , i felt lil disapointed that all 3 of us couldn make it.. some body had to stay back! :(

i tot v'll put a chit, whose name comes of the 3 , 2 shall go to the match..

but my bros hinted that they'll go at any cost...

and besides that i'd already seen the sight once b4...

i jus tot...

if i were father of 3 sons... how i would have solved this issue --

1st son has already seen it b4.. while othr 2 had been home...
and now we've only 2 passes!

i'd ask the 1st son to wait for the next time and let the other two go and experience the stadium...

then i realized .... i now should do wat that 1st son is supposed to do!

so i said.. fine guys u go ahead and enjoy the occasion... i've seen it once.. its ur chance now... :)


i felt that giving up of contention for the tickets gave me more more satisfaction than d feeling of being in the 50K crowd!

i think i did the right thing... do u agree?

i'm cricket match!

yuvraj singh on a high... dhoni is on the peak of his captaincy... sehwag in form, the entier team performing well... exellent feilding! tendulkar back in2 the team ...
series favoring india 3-0 in 7 match encounter... 4th game tommorrow, india eying for white wash !
series would be ours once it for all if v win tom!

particularly yuvi gt out the next ball whn ugly freddy teased him.. gt to watch his reply this time...

wat a sight it would be! i can imagine the scenario... 50K ppl shouting slogans chanting names, displaying collages n wat not!

more over match is held in BANG!

man i jus got to be der....

i wanna shout out sachin's name when he comes to bat with sehwag! i want to see them perform.... tom being a D/N match it would be more than fun... it would be a thrill...

i've been once a spectator for a D/N encounter of ind against SA..

ind won the match very comfortably .. we batted 2nd and had to score abt 170 runs for victory...

sachin and sehwag batted as the opening pair...

though a slow start , 3 overs 0 runs -- yuvi ended it sweetly with an neat flick towards mid wicket for 4 runs!

i remember that day as it were few hours ago...

i'd gt a vip pass tat time worth Rs 6K! all thanks to my mama :)

tat was an experience !

i want to relive the same thrill , the same passion once again tommorrow...

i want to be der to witness the sportsmen play..

i want to see my indian team win! and win the series aganst ppl who supposedly founded cricket!

Winner

well, the pic says it all, doesnt it?

I often THINK! abt what i'm and wat v r supposed to do etc...

but one thing strikes me is the concept of a man's life!

wat is it? a baby is born... he is introduced to a world.. he gets his education , works earns money settles down in life, gets retired from work, leads retired life, performs his duties towards his family/ society and finaly one day, he dies!! tats abt it rite... {lets not mix this discussion with concept of re birth and all... 'm talking of 1 instance of life.. ie present "life"}


hmm.. pretty vague na? yea i kno... :D i like it dat way ;)

but y 'm i telling u all this ?

i wanted to relate the concept of life to wat it takes to win / succeed...i mean to say, everybody is gonna face ups and down in life...and after all that hungama, finally evry one is gonna die some day... and then he takes nothing materialistic from this world...

so y bother of loss? y do we think tat when we face some problems while working, we should quit...

anyways v all r say good bye to this life some day.. so, i feel v've nothing to loose but every thing to gain...

life is a chance they say, not a choice! true... why leave this chance go to a waste...

why should i stop myself?
why should i stop being me?
why should i stop when going gets tuf?
why should i....????

only thing i ask myself is "MAY I BE ? "
then i get my answer.. and i go on...

i dont care what the result would be.... i wont quit...
i wont give up...

i belive a brave death in the battlefield is far better than a comfortable life as a subordinate to an enemy!

my father tot me....

HOPE FOR THE BEST n PREPARE FOR THE WORST !

my message is that no matter what happens , dont quit, and never say no...and u'll be a WINNER in life by DEFAULT...

Hypercube!

Yep.. a fancy name indeed :)


this seems to be a fairly simple model.. but it is lil more complicated than that!

if u have seen a CUBE... guess all have seen it or know hw it would look like.

this is a step ahead of the cube.. its like a CUBE inside a CUBE..!!

cool huh?


this is the pic of it...

v'd a subject called Graph Theory, tot to us by one of my fav teachers' Satya Maam :)

a day or two before i got the idea of making this model,she had tot us abt this ...

I would have wished to dedicate this to her but in fact i'd gifted it to another very good frnd of mine.. so dedication is not reusable there :D

well let me tell some thing abt theintricate details of the model..

as u can see in d pic, there is a big cube... and ther is a smaller cube inside ..

the side length of inside cube in a hypercube is exactly half of the side length of the outside one!

anyways,continuing...

the sides are connected as shown in d model...

i'd used a very thick sheet/card board to do the outside cube.. that's where i could've done better cos even though i tried my best to close the vertices.. it was not 100% possible

but overall it came out fairly well...

its a lil tricky , i said in the begining cos there u gt 2 figure out the exact angle and exact length of the sides which connect the inner cube's vertices to outer cube's vertices...

its reasonably simple, and v can do it wit help of simple trignomentry! {try it} :)

if u get this done , then its only matter of implimentation... {to be very frank.. this is tuf too .. :-D}

but its worth a try..

as always, i promise u tat i'll always be there to help u out ...

cheers :)

HVD -- Innovation Unparalled!

HVD – HOLOGRAPHIC VERSATILE DISC



What is a Holographic Versatile Disk?
An HVD is an advanced optical disk that’s presently in the development stage. Polaroid scientist J van Heerden was the first to come up with the idea for holographic three-dimensional storage in 1960. An HVD would be a successor to today’s Blu-ray and HD-DVD technologies. It can transfer data at the rate of 1 Gigabit / second. The technology permits over 10 kilobits of data to be written and read in parallel with a single flash. The disk will store in terms of terabytes (TB) of data on a single optical disk.
How do they do it??
Holographic Versatile Disc (HVD) is an optical disc technology which would hold up to 3.9 terabytes (TB) of information. It employs a technique known as ‘collinear holography’, whereby two lasers, one red and one green, are collimated in a single beam. The green laser reads data encoded as laser interference fringes from a holographic layer near the top of the disc while the red laser is used as the reference beam and to read servo information from a regular CD-style aluminum layer near the bottom. Servo information is used to monitor the position of the read head over the disc, similar to the head, track, and sector information on a conventional hard disk drive. On a CD or DVD this servo information is interspersed amongst the data.


Working of HVD





Challenges Ahead…..

There is no precise standard for holographic recording media
Lack of interchangeability between holographic recording devices and recording media
Holographic recording media requires flatness of the order of the optical wavelength which makes it hard to mass-produce
The system uses a green laser, with an output power of 1 watt, a high power for a consumer device laser
To develop and commoditize a laser capable of higher power output and suitable for a consumer unit
Production of holographic media requires investment in new equipment


.
What are the components needed to construct an HVD reader?
A blue-green argon laser
beam splitters to spilt the laser beams
mirrors to direct the laser beams
LCD panels (spatial light modulator)
lenses to focus the laser beams
lithium-niobate crystals or photopolymers
charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras

DO-DECA Hedron

yea.. i know..
the name seems to be funny :P

bt there is a nomenclature behind it !

let me explain..

DO -- two

DECA -- ten

so do-deca mean 10+2 = 12 sided figure

HEDRON means a 3 - D model made up of many polygons... k

polygons means a 2-D plane figure like a pentagon..


well this is the thing...

made of 12 pentagons..

bound at a cretain solid angle



this model came abt jus as perfect as i hoped.. i was happy wit the result...
its called DO DECA HEDRON..

if u wanna try out..

'm here to help u out :)

A Life Dedicated...

these words come deeply from my self....

i know hw it feels like dedicating oneself to something... i've been in touch wit many ppl who have done so... and 'm also in process of doing vaguely something similar...

i wonder... wat it takes for such ppl to take such a BIG decision on their side...
its not very often that u find a person seeing all tat is there around him... al the influences,, environment.. positive or negetive... get this feeling...

i said i'm in process of doing something similar....

its really very strange/not - normal .. i guess , from an outsider perspective that one person doesn care to ENJOY his life like its just one! and nothing after that.. but struggle hard , be an something different from the others in general...


they might ask ... why is he doing this...? wat for?? is it called for?? why this?? why him...? what a waste.....

but, from a personnel experiance.. i'd like to share some of the things which might be going in mind of a person whom we are talking abt..

ofcurse.. none are the same...

everybody are unique in there own way...

i remember my teacher in highskool told me casually...

Uniquness is not Unique at all.

but anyways.. we will by grossly come to a conclusion tat there are certain CATEGORIES of ppl.. this is wit no dsrespect to indivisuality...

well continuing...

i guess there are phases in dedicating oneself for a purpose...

i'll tell first itself tat its jus my opinion on date.. it might change subsequently.. as and when i realise higher truths...

k.. getting back..

i was tellin abt d phases rite...

1> there is something called SAMSKAR in the person...
--- he is brought up in an environment.. it bears a high degree of influence on the person's thinking ability, point of view...

2> he finds something is not right somewhere....
--- he tries to search for wat is not rite...
--- then he searches for wat is d cause for it...

this may take a lot of time...

for if he has to be sure... and it might so happen tat he realises higher truths during course of time....

but he constantly wants update himself abt wat was wrong and wat is the cause of it..

3> now, that he has an idea of wat d cause is... he starts to think!!
-- this is a very deeply intuitive in most cases... (i guess)
-- he is very much concerned abt the prob now...
--- he is constantly thinking of it...
weather he is listning to a song or talking to a frnd or riting his assignment..

there are very few things which have higher priority than it...
he wud be so much in2 it tat he does not CARE abt anything else... i mean to say.. IT MAKES VERY LIL DIFF TO HIM

4> this is the stage where he takes his pledge..


-- he wud dedicate his life to it...
it doen mean tat he won do any other work ...
but his primary interest lies in solving the prob, and make the world bettr thru solving that prob...

few times...
if he has to chose btw frnds family or work..

he wud choose work unless there is real situation!

he doesn care wat others think of him,,, this i guess is a very bold move he takes...
he ceases from or tries to cease from attachment.. his goal is to solve the prob.. he wud do anything for it...

i assure u that there are really very few, who have reached this stage wanting something back from his work...

they don want fame, name any any worldly things... for them tat is not the prority...

and further i would stick my neck out and say 1 more thing...

the ppl who do follow this path, with /without notice are following wat is called "karma yoga"

it says tat u do work... for works sake..
and after ur work is done, surrender it to god and forget abt it.. in d sence, results

and there is one more suggestion.. tat its not the KARTARA-- doer who is important..

but the KARYA-- work is!!

so one has no room for EGO here...

its not he who is noticed by all.. it is the work...

this inherantly makes his ego to dissapear and he has no worries at all,,, he just concentrates on his work...

Carbon 60 Fullerene-- Football

Hey!! this model i made 2-3 years back ... had made similar models before...

this is technically called as a Fullerene!

u guys know wat a Fullerene is right?? well, if u dont .. no big deal..
click on this link.. u'll know watever there is to know about a Fullerene


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fullerene


In Laymen terms... it is a spatial arrangement of CArbon Atoms...


there are two Fullerenes 'm aware of..

1> CArbon 60 -- Football
2> CArbon 70 -- Rugby Ball

yes! carbon 60 is nothing but a FOOTBALL!




so now, i guess u'll be able to see that carbon 60 thing is same as our futball... :)


k now.. i'll show u d model i made..

i colour coded it .. pentagons(5 sided figures) in yellow

and hexagons(6 sided figures) in some orange kind of colour...

1 thing which u wont be able to see is that on d top i've made a hole.. to acomadate a small bulb...


if u would switch it on, only the pentagons are highlighted!
i mean i'd used a thinner card board for pentagon and thick one for hexagon.. got it?

anyways for info,

football = 20 haxagons + 12 pentagons

all the sides of a pentagon are inturn attached to 5 other hexagons

and for a hexagons, alternative sides are attached to a hexagon and a pentagon...

if u wanna try it out nd need some help..

'm always a click away...

wish to here frm u ppl..
cya

Origamy

this is again something which 'm very passionate abt...


for those who are wondering wat 'm talking abt...
i'll tell u wat this origamy is...

this is supposed to be ART ... from card board/paper

its origin is frm japan i guess... may be china.. i donno

anyways.. i like it!


it was dec 24th christmas eve, tat eve in planitarium there was a demo class of Origamy aking place...

frm our coll, many 10th std students took part...

i was in 9th ... by some way, i convinced my vice principal tat i also wud acompany them .... well, i did..

frm tat day, started a remarkable journey in to the world or car board..

i've thoroughly enjoyed the experiance...

learned many a lessons frm it....

made PROPER GEOMETRIC MODELS on demand for my school, PU College, and even Engineering College!

i've not taken pics of many of my models...

and also they are not with me...

many are with the respective institutions.. few with my friends(whom i gifted to... )
hope they take deserved care.... and rest of them either worn out or stepped upon or... many ways to loose it.. hehe

PS: Origamy is a BIG branch concerned with card board art...

'm only into a part where u develop POLYHEDRONS from card board..
this requires knowledge of geometry... angles, no.. of sides, metrics.. etc

i'll upload few pics and explain as to how it is done...

Begining Of Change...

When I was in 9th Std, In many ways Rennaisance of Myself took place...

I was doing many things, I experimented with stuff...

i many a times put myself in ackward positions.. not bothering how it would affect me...


i used to ask many a doubts in class... not tat it was NOT-NORMAL , but the FEELING of ENQUIRY was very EVIDENT !

i began doing some scientific experiments... i genuinely tried to DISCOVER something...

i used to play wit MAgnets, electricity, wires .. well wat ever i could get my hands to.. hehe


My father used to remind me that i was still a student, not JUST a SCIENTIST, and the scientist {and othr extra curicular works} should happen after i've done with studies for the day...
But most of the time, i was other way around...

My arguement was that in 9th std, the final score doesn matter much, it doesn matter if i scored 80 % or 85% it both would mean the same thing, this year let me concentrate on the other funky stuff..
and 10th ,i'll defenitely STUDY ,FULL TIME...

it was an arguement he din accept straight away, i guess he hesitantly made himself to agree.. otherwise he wouldn allow me to do wat ever i did do! for my APPA(father) is a tuf task master.. he makes sure he gets d best out of me... i'm having very high regards on him in more ways than 1 .

i went to Planitarium Classes every sunday, i din understand much of wat was done, but still few % did filter in2 my porous brain :P

though setu(my friend) knows the actual truth wat happend ,i'll stick my neck out and say tat i won "young inventer" prize.. many of us did... basically for innovation in science

i'd done some work on "contact force in magnetism" .. later on i found tat tat work was already been done by some guy way before itself :D

anyways.. nice attempt huh ?? :)

i hope my classmates remember about it, no regrets even if they doont... i fought my way thru to get a hands on experiance in a Field trip arranged by my school,

it was in GML - GEOLOGICAL AND METALURGICAL LAB ...

a pool of hand picked students were given a chance to actually go to GML in class hours and get to know hw the metalurgical tests work!!

we also did them ourselves,,,

we demonstrated it to our other classmates as well


I should Thank my School Authorities and foremost Dr Raghavendra, GML better known as Ananya Raghavendra to have humbly given us a chance to see and experiance the lab environment!!


its VERY RARE to get such chances...

then, i tot .. well worth a fight ,tat oppurtunity!! hehe

i also formulated few theorems on Triangles...

it were all correct but i guess, like before pre done...

I did many othr things when i was in 9th...

all in all..

it is one of the turning points of my life where i gt this hunger to learn outside wat is there in text book... hunger to rise above and succed... hunger tat would grow and grow...

and be wat it is.. now.. still growing never ceasing to stop...

i only hope, i can acomplish wat ever i've set out to...

stepping over ego..

How to Live

Krishna says....

"One should live in this world like a Water Droplet on a Lotus Leaf,there should be contact.. but no attachment"

he explains...

"we should live with our hands to work and Heart to God"

Chalk Bird :)

well well...

this is my bird...

this is kind of thing to gift, i felt will express that he/she is spl

so.......... i did it !


For those who r wanting to know HOW it was done....

first of all, the main step is to gamble !!!

yes , gamble... with the Chalk Piece!

cos u dont want it to break up when u are doing d details... it hurts when it happens..


so choosing a chalk is one of the most imp steps in coming up wit d actual model!

after this is a much more sophisticated step...

VISUALIZATION.. this is the HARDEST part!

u got to SEE the MODEL when its not yet there.. this will demand a lot of concentration and SKILL.

this is tuffest part..

and after tat its pretty simple...

CArving stuff... 2-3 hours of non stop concentration, while enjoying the dust... being careful enough not get distracted, not to make a single mistake.. not to deviate from the original plan...
to make perfect curvature.... tats abt it...

u've ur piece ready.. filled with LOOOOOOOOOOOOOt of love n care...

and now u mite think all d work is done...

well, its not!

still d most important and d one which requires the MAX care is still left out...

and it is....

no prizes for guessing .....


PACkING!


i normally stuff it with whole lot of Soft cotton...with considerable amount of fear actually...


why, i'll tell u..

after all d good work if u loose ur piece jus because it BROKE makes u go GUGUGAGA! ask my friend setu,i'd lost my temper once whn i screwed up a piece, while talking a snap shot.. after tat i've been ever so care ful


i don even allow anyone to tuch my finished models... not even ... well no one!

i carefully put it into some box, with lot of cotton gift pack.. and keep it ready...

and for this reason , i do it only on d day before somebody's bday!

well ,i've not told u till now i guess...

i do it only for frnds...
idon have any of these models wit me..
i've gifted them all.....

:)

PS :

i don use any spl kind of chalk ...

i use normal DUSTING chalk, which costs Rs 1 for 3 pieces :P

Helix!

i was always facinated by d shape of a Helix, 1 half of DNA!

so..........

here it is.. i pushed myself to do it on chalk!

belive me..this is tuf!

Chess

aaahh ... chess is my avenue... i cant call myself a pro by any means, but this is the game i'm best at.

so.....

y not do chalk models of chess pawns i tot.... ??

:) nice idea aint it?

C C -- Chalk Chains !!

yes yes yes.... we can do chains wit chalk....

let me admit, chalk art is tuf work! it takes ur time,ur eye "power" is increased (to a negetive level) , u get ur eyes strained.. if u 've breathing problems u better stay away cos the chalk dust is first thing u want to avoid!!. above all it aint donkeys work, u got to have SKILL! if u've lack of it, trust me, u need to GET some SKILL....don ask me how... hehe :D

but if u do it for self satisfaction, or to bring a smile on somebody's face who sees it... or to gift it to someone spl ... its worth it!!

i started off doing small 2 chains of calks, at first i rarely succeded
and it was a huge moral booster for me every time i improved upon my mistakes...

my principle is -- to never repeat a particular mistake, its ok to do some other mistake but not d same mistake over n over again, it would confirm tat i'd not learnt anything from it...

so i went along correcting myself... day in and day out,,,

i remember i used to do it in my college also, i was so curious to make a chain out of chalk i would strive any harder if it demanded!

then 1 fine day i succeded .. i'd got a hang of it...

these were my first chalks :)




hmmmm.. now my basics were kind of good...
only way to test it was to take a tuffer task...
i often do this... when i get to know something i throw a challenge to myself, "lets see if u can do it... "

i like it!

but this time, it was not jus a challenge, it was a let out for my feelings....
i wanted to gift my art.... so i better do it good ......


this was wat i did....

i'd like to add tat i did this on my busiest day of my life... :)

Chalk and................

a billion thanks to my friend Poshith(cant express in words hw i feel)to have introduced to me to the "WORLD OF CHALK ART" ....

and from then onwards, i've done quite a few art pieces(well, i like to call them so :D )

i'll in course of few blog postings share wit u some of the chalk pieces i've made...

for now, this is how all d chalk arts begin!

with jus a piece of chalk :)

Aryan Invasion Theory...

Aaaahhh... U know wat, When ever 'm feeling Cold, first thing i'll think of is "Aryan Invasion Theory"

Guess Why???



Cos..... It BOILS me, and i'm BAck to My Normal Body Temp :D


Anyways... comming back to serious things


i vividly remember.... i was in 8th, we were being tot History of India...

teacher said abt Indus Valley CIvilisation... I was more than Happy to learn tat my country was one of the ancient civilisations.... dating back to 2500 BCE.

then I came to know that actuality is far from wat is being tot in class....


i got to know we are being mislead...

its not that this topic being right or wrong does bring a great deal change in our way of lving..

Then y bother, few may think...

well, It concerns about the History of our nation!
if somebody tricked u and told Ur mother was meant to be defeated time and again, never to rise back.... Being ruled by different ppl(foreigners) in diff times.... it woudn make u feel happy does it..

esspeacially when the truth is my mother was/is THE JAGAdGURU .. a Teacher To the Whole World!!!

My friends, it does make a difference in understanding the greatness of our country....


I've made a small ppt about topic of Aryan Invasion theory,


i've put it up in a google grp "Aryyan Invasion Theory" -- for reasons i've made this grp as private...

u can join the google grp thru my invite.. jus let me know... k

if u want to see the ppt, jus mail me and i'll fwd it back in no time..

my email -- varundesh@gmail.com

google group -- http://groups.google.com/group/aryanit


hopefully all our brothers and sisters come to know about glory of Mother Bharat...

I'll from now keep creating ppts and upload ...

cos i feel surfing thru a ppt is much more user friendly than reading a 1000 page book!

But, i've decided 1 thing, I'm for my nation .... "RAshtrotHanaM Idam SharIIram"

"My Body is for upliftment of Nation's Glory"

I shall do the best i can to bring back my country's lost glory...

The right thing to do...

often it so happens that we wish to be the perfect examples to others... hoping to be idols to a few,may be in your own little way..... eg-- a bus conductor gives tickets to all, checks for passes... and doesnt take that silly Rs 2-3 bribe to bar a Rs 5 ticket.

every one tries to set himself as a example. he tries his best, i feel ,everytime he does something... he conciously thinks if it is the right thing to do or not... are there better ways to deal with it....


a geeky student reviews his methodology of study, way he conducts himself in class, way he speaks to his teacher.. way he mingles with his classmates ,i've observed very cautiously! he is thinking while he is speaking .. weather wat he is doing befits him...

i've realised myself, every movement u lead , when u want to do things through which u want to motivate ppl into a higher level, there is a considerable amount of "pressure" on u... few invisble eyes are watching u, u feel.....

then.... the "Right Thing to do" is always "Hardest" to think of, and further "Tuffer" to "Do"

few ppl who are role models to entier world ... have had to make such decisions!

that is wat that make them role models....

that is wat that make them Great...

who 'm i ??

One day , early in the morning.. guess it was about around 5 am, I got up from my sleep … it was not a nightmare ,but an extra normal experience… somebody was asking me , “who are u ?”

Normally one would have answered by his name, and probably tell about his designation either student or working….. but I didn’t!

I was blank, I din know what to say….

Till now one would doubt if anything was not normal about this “dream”…. Yes, they have a right to. But I beg to differ !!

If one would shut his eyes and try to think who he is.. “I”,”I”,”I” , the maximum that one would think of is , idea of his body,about his name,parents etc… is he then , just a combination of material substances? Just a person whose life would start with his birth and end with his death……….. little confused?let me be more clear..

There is a wonderful Sanskrit verse…. “kastvam koham… ka me janani ko me tata…. Manasi vicharaya varam varam . “

Meaning : think again and again in your mind, who is he?, who am i? who is my mother?who is my father? etc

May be reason for that dream is my knowing of this verse… it hints to us that we are not just this bodies , but something more significant, “a spirit living in the body”… this doesn’t have any father nor mother nor children… it does not die after death.. and you cannot say that is was not existing before birth….

The Vedas declare that Soul is neither created nor destroyed….

In its very essence , it is free , unbounded , holy , pure and perfect!!

Let me illustrate a small story (I’m told this is a real incident) about a person…

The person happened to live in treacherous Aurangazeb’s era in his kingdom. He was a Hindu,and as we all know, Aurangazeb advocated “convert or die” policy to convert all non-muslims to muslims .(ps : no disrespect to his religion)

This guy (I don remember his name correctly) happened to be one of those who were forcefully converted …. Many people got converted afraid of the consequences ,,, but he persisted!!

He said “NO! I wont convert”

He was tortured and one can not think about the extent of torture he had to face….Every day, skin of one of his body part was skinned off and salt was applied on the same…. And that evening he was approached weather he was ready to convert of NEEDED a bit more treatment…

Days passed and almost all his body was skinned off… then a Moulwi was sent to convince him… during the conversation Moulwi asked him.. “Doesn’t it hurt?”

He said.. “you cant hurt me in any way, you are only hurting my CLOTH,my dress…

I’m not this body , so you cannot hurt me!!!”

Such was his belief… such was his faith…. In fact , he was not hurt.. rite??

He belived-

“Him the sword cannot pierce—him the fire cannot burn—him the water cannot wet—him the air cannot dry.”

Then who ‘m I?

What is my business here?

What ‘m I supposed to do?

Why ‘m I facing the situation that I’m in?(either good or bad)

Answers to these questions, have to be realized not jus told..

I feel realizing has 2 parts…

1>theory (the established facts.. which are available thru scripts)

2>practical(one has to realize it, it may or may not be same as what was understood by theory)

Hmmm… where did I get into from my dream I was talking about…

Now, getting back to dream…

When I was asked as to who I was… I was blank, didn’t know the answer.. so as I was disturbed by it I got up and started to think on the same lines as above…

I still have doubts.. as to who I’m …

I’m told whatever u r now its because of your past deeds, and the future depends on your past + your present ….so , its lil tricky to interpret our existence…

I’m still on my way to finding my answer as to who I’m….

I’m yet to answer to that person’s question…

Past relevent for Future??

Hmmm.. Well this is my first Blog, so I tot that I'd write on a subject which is very close to my heart. Here goes :D





Though it seems yesterday,it all started few years ago...Guess some morning in my High school days. I'd been attending an annual Vedic camp conducted by "Manisha Cultural Foundation" - a wing of "Veda Vijnana Gurukulam" in Bangalore since 8th std. It was a residential camp, we were made to get up at about 5 am in the morning!! (I'd have got up that early in the morning only on the DIPAWALI day, for AARTHI) So, obviously it was'nt taken well by me for the first few mornings....
We were taught Yogasanas , Vedic chants, Bhagavad Gita etc . Along with that the main idea of the camp was to make us realise the "Rishi Parampara" that we inheritantly are part of, as Indians!
We were told about stories of our great ancestors , what all they did, how they led there lives,what principles they followed, and stuff like that....
Parallelly we were also thought of how the English people through "Macauley" system of education has deeply handicaped our basic thinking , our basic nature....
For the first 2 camps I did'nt feel much about it... may be I was litle Young to realise its importance, its core purpose....
It was when my 3rd year that i REALISED that there is something, some unanswered question.I wanted try to find the answer , and to fill the gap which i felt was staring me into the face... " Could I ? " was the next question in my mind."Yes, for sure." was my immediate reply to myself.. reassurance may be.. I always thought that , the first two important days of one's life are :


1> the day u are born.

2> the day u realise for what u r born.


I first thought I'd found my task for this life.... Its was all sudden burst of feelings in my body i felt physically very hot at that time, I'd actually fasted for 2 days until I was consoled ....then after few days, I re-thought about all the things that I'd felt,the things I'd committed myself to..... then I realised, "ok, I defenitely want to do something for my country.... but wat do I do?? What is that needs to be done??What is that unanswered question??How should I go about it??Whom should I approach??.................."
my heart skipped a beat!! I was suddenly blank....I did'nt know what to do and where to start from...
Meanwhile, I was in quest of finding my question, let alone answer... hehe.. I was speaking to people about our past, the knowladge that we posses which are locked in the codes of the Vedic Language... I spoke to my friends that we need to be aware of our grand past and that would certainly show us the way ahead.... I used t quote from Samskrut Shubhashitas and Upanishads and explain its meaning.... I was trying my best to find myself a question.. a question to be asked to oneself ... whose answer would REDEEM the sacred lives of our Ancestors, and would make all of us realise not just belive that "We were Great, We are Inherently Great, We should Behave that we are Great" {NOT EGOISTIC , BUT SELF REALISATION} the realisation that we are "SANATANI's"
I wondered then, why would people now in 2k+ age care about what happened thousands of years ago? Is that having any practical significane? 'm I wanting to dedicate my life to a cause which is utterly unrelative to the conteporary world??
this was the second time my heart skipped a beat!!

I was a little confused to be frank...

then one fine day I got hold of a book "Man Making Message" authored by Swami Vivekananda. That movement would be one snapshot of my life I'd forever cherish....
The book included his speaches in Chicago ,1893
He'd had just mentioned in "Paper on Hinduism" that -we are glad that contemporary science is talking about the concepts which we were cherishing our bosom for thousands of years....
It was just a spark that was required , why not.. take up a project.... project to educate people about the knowladge which was decoded in our ancient Vedas....All crudely know that there is a lot of science in Vedas ... but that about it.. very few know beyond.....

I'd heard about our own scientists, a very few of them.... like

Cannada -- the father of atomic theory
Purusha Sukta ( a vedic verse) -- which talks about "Plasma state"
Description of a Plant cell in one of the vedic verse...
ADvanced concepts of "plastic surgery" , "tissue culture" , "cloning" etc just hidden behind the metamorphical language of Vedic sanskrit......
These are only few of the concepts of which the Vedas speak about....

I now was getting closer to my question............

how about doing research on Scientific Knowladge of Vedas...? That would be the best way to grasp people's interest.....
I searched in the net and with other sources... weather research on Vedas is beeing conducted ............ Fact was it was going on, but mostly with the "spiritual" banner. I felt that there was need to educate atleast us Indians that we are infact having more advaced scientific concepts in front of us....
what about the story of "Pushpaka Vimana " ? wasn't that an aircraft...
what about Snjaya's "Divya Drishti" ? was it some kind of wireless communication....

Does our Veda have those answers?

In a particular scene of Mahabharat, frustrated Bheema appeals to his brother to shrink the 13 years of their VANA VASA to mere 13 days through a vedic chant... isn't it vaguely have the concept of time travel, speed of light (we have to travel faster than speed of light to make time speed up /slow down {relatively} )

So, my quest for question had taken few more steps ahead...

I'm now 19 year old. If I could co-ordinate to build a Vedic research Center comprising of Vedic scholors to decode the vedic language, and Scientists of different fields... to interpret them...
We should be able to build a data base which after few years( I know this can take 10-20 years... but still its worth it..) would be so appealing that ....


1> It could be included in Syllabus of School curiculum starting from Primary Education itself.
2> Seperate branch/subject in degree College {Vedic Science and Technology}
3> We could as an Organisation encourage double degree holders to pursue for a Ph.D in this fields.. first by making our data base open source, secondly by Issuing grants as Scholorships...
4> We could create jobs through this , which would definitely interest people...
5> We could send the message to the world that "We are still the 'Jagad Guru' " :)
etc

THrough this project I hope I'll be doing Service to my Motherland... and make realise to the contemporary world that when we say "Vedas are TRUE for all Ages" WE DO MEAN IT !!

Past is infact very important to our present and our tomorrow.....


VEDA 4 FUTURE !
