Devils at work

Sadistic pleasure born out of cultural vandalism or vindictive vengeance gets definition from acts such as blasting of the ruins of Syria's ancient Palmyra on Monday, August 31, 2015 by the Islamic State group -  thus effecting damage to the West Asia' s most treasured heritage sites. 

Are they the true descendants of earlier demons destroying the work of humans without knowing their value and importance in ancient days?

God knows their true intention and concomitant action!

Hats off to Vladimir Putin!

ISIS is in for deep trouble, thanks to the determined will of Russian supremo to dismantle ISIS's foothold from the map of Syria, the stronghold of this terror outfit.

Violence and terror let loose by this terror organisation need to be countered by a strong hand like Russia only - effectively and quickly so that the world can live in peace. Syria and its citizens have suffered enough - two lakh people have lost their life and the people in a similar number have migrated as refugees to the neighbouring countries. Enough is enough. Let the Russian troops complete their task with the sufficient and efficient warheads at their disposal, - in the process exhibiting and testing their own military strength.

Great. Keep it up.

Ramlila in Naogaon in Chhattarpur district of Madhya Pradesh State

1. Ramlila is being observed and celebrated with usual interest and preparation in this small township for the last 111 years at a stretch. The beauty of this year's Ramlila is that the local MLA (Member of Legislative Assembly of Madhya Pradesh) is acting in the role of Janak Maharaj, the celebrated father of Maa Sita, the wife of Raja Ram.
2. Look at the devotion of villagers and their representatives in preserving the tradition and heritage of this area and community. Great. We should be proud of such happenings in this country.

Faith of Faithfuls

Faith is the source of unity in any group or the party
Faith is the connecting device among the devotees
But for faith religious congregation isn't a possibility
But for faith prayer and puja may never be a reality

Faith drives humanity to collect and fight for a cause
Faith varies from place to place and from time to time
Small gods and goddesses attract a few in the vicinity
Small & varied virtues are attributed towards the gods

Early men and women worshiped trees and mountains
Even they were in awe towards all five major elements
Earthen species did pay a tribute to rulers for protection
Earthly life compelled those to venerate nature for good.

How does one derive pleasure and happiness?

By possessing sufficient wealth and income ensuring mundane and material comforts for making a decent and wholesome living.

By reducing, discarding or even sacrificing the unwanted and under utilised items and goods badly needed by the underprivileged sections of our society in the neighbourhood.

By utilising the time in such actions and avocations that result in job satisfaction, peace of mind & mental equilibrium.

Land Bill of NDA Government at the Centre.

One of the best attempts made by Modi's Government at the centre namely 'land bill' through ordinance route thrice has ended without any fruitful result. Unfortunate.

Absolute majority in Lok Sabha was not sufficient to rush through the major legislation on land acquisition matters, as a part of 'Team India's efforts to implement 'Make In India' dream. A little more serious homework from PMO could have handled this issue more successfully without losing face. I am sure the GOI would try to achieve its objective in the coming winter session of Parliament after seeing the report of Parliamentary committee on this subject and getting the support in a joint session (sitting) of both the Houses of Parliament. 

What is needed is a bold and open debate in public forums and the media on the importance of the bill with practical solutions to the interests of farmers of this country. On the other hand it is better to leave this issue permanently to be handled by the states as it has resulted right now.

What is happening in this country?

No tolerance towards dissent and no defender of human beings facing the risk of murderous attempts? Public is a mute witness to the wrongdoings in our society unfortunately. See the example of Mohammed Akhlaq's killing by a mob in Dadri.

Politicians are playing dirty politics as alleged by his son Sartaj.
