The Great Indian Business

Imagine a shop where you go to buy a product. The owner of the shop show you his product and offers you that if you like his product, not only he will give his product free but will also give you the cash ( the amount of cash is negotiable ) for liking his product. You will say what sort of business is this, where the business owner gives away even all his operating cost? How this will survive? But don't wonder, this sucking business is not only surviving, it is prospering day by day in India. This business is known as the Great Indian Wedding.
       Now imagine a scene- this is a scene you can see anywhere in India. A noise called baraat ( groom's party)  with a cacophonous band arrives with some foolish looking guys dancing, regardless of the fact that it creates a disturbance on the road and problems in the neighbourhood ( this is acceptable in the Indian society! The family and father of the bride welcome the baraat with a smile ( perhaps for giving all his hard-earned money for buying the product, sorry, the groom ). The the bride comes with a garland of flowers for the groom ( forgetting that he is in a sucking business ). After some photography & videography, khana-wana ( foods ) and some further material dealings-hagglings, wedding take place at the alter. The bride goes away with the groom, satisfied he sucked all her father's money.
       To some people in India, this article may look too harsh. But every person with a conscious must ponder- is this a relationship? Is relationship means haggling for cash or kind? Can money buy a relationship? What sort of mind a person has, if he sucks a family he is going to build a life-long relationship. Is this a case of love or loot? Why the Indian society which hates most well-meaning sytems, have created such a strong sucking system which most of people don't want to break?
       Just think about it!

Republic of Indians

26th of January- Republic Day of India. For whom- India, the state or India, the people? What The Republic means for Indians? The over exhibition of state's might or true empowerment of it's people? Why Indian state is so isolated with the same people, it gets it's power? Even a lowly clerk thinks that he is above the people. Why people don't celebrate the Indian Republic?
      Freedom means the power to create and live our own destiny as an free individual. How we are free in the republic of India where our power of economic liberation is shackled by the over-bearing powers of state? Why our republic trust's it's people to give them freedom to create their own economic republics? Why we can't create the thousands of enterprises without the unwanted interventions of state? Prosperity can never be created by state's fiat as the failure of communism proved it. And doing the business is not the business of a state.
       The major failure of the Indian Republic is the so-called princple of socialistic economy. The principle of mixed economy is resulted in a highly mixed-up economy. It's solution lies in capitalistic economy. Capitalism does not mean that an economy is controlled by capitalists. Capitalism means that the people have the freedom to create capital through their innovative abilities. Capital is not only about money, it's about the all the resources which can create wealth and intellectual prowess of people is the greatest capital resource.
        So, the Republic of India can be turned into Repubic of Indians when the state will have the courage to truly liberate it's people to charter their own destiny. Financial freedom is the ultimate goal of any individual and if people feel that at least that the state will help instead of crating hurdles, the Republic will be a natural celebration for the PEOPLE.

Build Bridges of Love

Talking, meeting, texting i.e the tools of communications we use, these all are part of excercises we take for building relationships. But, beyond the surface. something more important is required to build bridges of genuine love. There are things that we don't express to our loved ones, but that plays it's role in cementing our relationships. In fact, what we say behind about friends, communicate the real feelings we have for them. Even if they don't know it from any source, feeling is communicated through the universe. Love is an abstract feeling, not effectively expressed through words. The universe decode the true feelings behind the words and transmitt it into our hearts.
      Actions speaks louder than words, we all know it. Actions taken for friends even in their absence, make them more closer to us and says a lot about our emotions. We help our friends and loved ones in need. Do we help them for their dreams, too? Can't we help them to realize their dreams, so they become able to help others in their need and support them to fulfill their own dreams? Is this not the LOVE, we talk about?

Are We Aware?

What is our true nature? Most of us want freedom- freedom from our own internal bondage. We all need love. But love live inside the deepest core of our soul. We can't scratch the surface and find it. To find it, we will have to become aware of our inner values. Search and if you found that you don't need embellishments, you need simplicity of relationships, simple spirit of helpfulness, a nurturing environment of family & friends-this is a very beautiful world you live. Just find places that your true callings will be accepted, you are accepted as you are and you will be nurtured as what you want to be. Then the world will recognise as you would like to. Tough task? Not at all, there are people waiting for you to give all the love you need, all the opportunities you are searching and all the success you are entitled to. Just ask the universe with your true heart and it wil come to you. Tathaastu.

Buddha is vision

Look at the images of Buddha. Silence is there, but it's very eloquent. Look at the face, Buddha is radiating the light. This is the light of our inner universe- quiet, loving, beyond prejudice. Give it a chance to come out, like Buddha. Then every dream of YOU will realize it's true destiny. It will manifest all around- in your wisdom,in your values,in your relationships, in fact, in your every endeavours and in your every sphere of life. TATHAASTU.
