One of the Strongest Feelings...
Attachment to something/someone is a feeling which is not paralleled by any other feeling which 1 can possibly get. No matter how much we try to escape from it, once into the loop of bondage, it is really difficult to come out of it.
'm finding it out almost every day now.... Bondage was one thing, i tot i shud avoid at all times, cos it leads to weakness on the long run.. and i din want to be weak, i wanted to be strong, so strong that i'd be like a water droplet on lotus leaf which is in contact with water, shines on it , but, is never attached to the leaf . what a life the water droplet leads, sometimes i envy that!
but inherantly, bondage has certain qualities, such as "MAYA" which makes it desireble , this fact we all shall accept without any room for a countering ...
we've seen from time ,immemorial tat MAYA , has disrupted even that penance of the greatest of the sages!! this is a very disturbing thing to kno , if u ask me... cos for a start, i'm trying to free myself frm bondage, as much as possible , at as small steps as possible.. but every day , its getting tougher and tougher..and i sometimes begin to doubt wheather is it not wrong to not have bondage?but i try to remind myself that, this doubt is nothing other than the MAYA !!
But, my friends.. with due respect to Bondfree life, i think we need to analyse wheather attachment or at outset, a genuine concern to a particular entity/person is called for or should be rejected ! should we weigh each situation we face in d same category? shud we use the same prejudice for all the stuff ?
for illustration , lets take an example .... If i'm very attached to a particular msg in my inbox , and by mistake i delete it... for atleast 2 days, i wont feel alrite and with false hope scan inbox twise each time wheather the msg has re appeared or not! lol
is this called for? ideally no!!
suppose, somebody abuses someone close to u, it could be anyone, ur friend relative anyone... u'll not able to bear the fact that someone jus spoke low of the person u love, u respect..... u feel like slapping that person, if not that u'll do as much as is diplomaticaly possible to protest !
is this right? ofcourse, would be majority's answer.. while a minority maintains to say that it woudnt matter much as it would not actually mean that ur loved one's are watever that the layman has jus spoken ... so even if u r close to a person, u shud not be shaken by someone criticising him... but the immediate counter will be , wat if the criticism is not called for and is intentional? then, the speakers will be short of answers... rite?
so, we gt to agree that sometimes, we gt to analyse wat is the situation and then think of the level of bondage we gt to display.... i guess!
next, we shall take a more serious situation.... wat if u go to a foreign country, a layman there is burning ur country's flag!
my god!! i cant imagine wat i'd have done....
what is this but a prime, very strong sence of Bondage !! and one which all appreciate ! one all shud have!
so , bondage is actually not a word which has same meaning in every case whr we interpret it...
it is only upto the prejudice of the person, as to the attachment is neccessary or could it be avoided.....
it is upto the subject and wat he stands to think at that moment and purely his decision.

Thank God
its always a heart warming sight, to see a sachin or a pankaj or anyone for tat matter , when they perform well,or may be reached a milesstone, they raise their head with all the gratitude there is, with all the humbleness, they bow down to almighty god, and thank him for helping himself to achive wat he has on tat day, thru hard work and struggling.
we have seen dramatic scenes of mhmd yusuf doing namaz in d middle of the ground aftr scoring 10 centuries in a calender year, or the politicians performing religious rituals just after they won an election or gt out of a froud case :P
its but normal , to do these kind of stuff... nt only for celebreties bt any one, for me and for u .
the reason y 'm stressing on the topic is that , God when he gives us success, we thank him, we thank him a lot ... while when we r in misery, there are hardly evidences of the same!
God gives us success nd failure, we gt take both the same ... dont we, else isnt it not disrespecting the judgement of almighty ?
the saying "success nd failure are the 2 faces of the same coin" shoudnt just be kept in the book, they shud be adopted in life and cherished...
my point is, wheather dhoni scores a century, or dravid scores a duck, they both shud take it in the same manner, learn frm it and get along their buisness..
the motive shud be jus work and not wat u get out of it!
but easier said than done

Happy Bday Appa!! :)
Today, my father's 50th bday!! have taken a day off frm d proj work ...
tot i shid do something spl to gift my appa, who has been my back bone for who i'm and certainly wat i wud be..
i was kind of saturated wit chak stuff for time being, more so wanted to revert back to paper art!
so tot of doing an origamy
but wait, wats d NEW part of it?
wats different frm d previous stuff?
orgamy workswhich i'm used to is with accurate measurements, geometry n trignometry stuff,and more over needs a lot of glue to stick .
hw abt doing a model, as good as the others but , with no scale or glue!
tat wud be a good challege , i felt .. and a nice way to gift me appa. :)
so , now i'd to choose a poly hedron to start , i choose Do Deca Hedron , i somehow 'm attached to this model ya! its simple yet dignified and complex in its own way!

i cut a lot of eqilateral triangles in a reasonably thin sheet(compared to card board)
and made a basic unit for construction(with a pair of triangle : 1 folded over other) which wud look like a projections of the 3 medians of the triangles with a socket for putting another such piece .
so now , its just matter of getting the triangles done and then making them into the basic piece and assembling them into the model one after other keeping in mind the geometry of model....
finally this is how it looks :)
its more simple than it seems ...... unlike few other models :D
Basically , Eqilateral Triangles are the basic building blocks of the model.
But takes a lot of patient effort to do this, and ofcourse..... LOVE

PS : i used no glue, no pencil, no instruments except scissors for it...
this is not the first time 'm trying it, but yea, its fun to do such things... :)

a Voice to SAve The Cow
Save the Cow- A Practical Soln
This is the PPT i prepared on a Practical Solution which could stop Slaughtering the COWS.
Seems Like the PPT Pages got Truncated in SCRIBD(while uploading)... its k , no big deal, if u wanna read d complete version of it , jus leave ur email id on d comment , and i'll mail u the PPT within Hours!!
Pls do read this and circulate the PPT, cos it deals with a very imp and a sensitive issue.
Thank u
