Internet freedom

From what’s going on in china it’s clearly reflected that tyrannic censorship of Internet by government is neither a good option, nor a viable solution. Internet or the world wide web as it is popularly referred to was introduced by CERN as a means of communication in late eighties and from then it have revolutionized the way we live our lives. Internet is a transparent platform which encourages everyone to express their views, ideas or creations in the form of text, pictures or videos and makes it easily and mostly freely available to the audience all around the world. The content can be educational, beneficial or at times objectionable to a certain audience, which is true even for other popular means like newspapers, magazines, television etc. The kind of information any person consumes is dictated more by his demand and less by what’s available and he will get it by hook or crook. Content creators will just create whatever is consumed. The way to keep the risky and harmful content away is by making people aware and understand their responsibility. As humans we are extremely influenced by the people around us and are, by nature, very open to any kind of advise. Family, friends and peer groups and the ones we listen to and follow and they are the ones both capable and responsible of guiding us to make the right choices.

Rational arguments don’t usually work on religious people. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be religious people.

not usually but a few times for sure I heard one of my friends quoting. Religion is faith which is beyong logic, just follow it. I said I would pass ^^

Another one – “Religion is a tried,tested and approved way of life, either follow it or keep experimenting and die getting it right.”.I said, “I will take the latter, It’s more fun”.

Enjoy your coffee..

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor.

Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite – telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: ‘If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each other’s cups.

Now if life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn’t change. Some times, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it.’

Don’t let the cups drive you.. Enjoy the coffee instead

I keep posting this kind of stuff to keep reminding myself.

Who do you listen to?

Who are you trying to please?

Which customers, relatives, bloggers, pundits, bosses, peers and passers by have influence over your choices? Should the Pulitzer judges decide what gets written, or the angry boss at the end of the hall so influence the products you pitch? Should the buyer at Walmart be the person you spend all your time trying to please? Your nosy neighbor? The angry trolls that write to the newspaper? The customer you never hear from?

Just for a second, think about the influence, buying power, network and track record of the people you listen to the most. Have they earned the right?

Problem of religion : Like father like son!!

Just what if a kid never wanted any religion tag associated to him. Why do names have to reflect everything about your religion?

Beat! beat! drums! – Walt Whitman

Beat! beat! drums!—blow! bugles! blow!
Through the windows—through doors—burst like a ruthless force,
Into the solemn church, and scatter the congregation,
Into the school where the scholar is studying;
Leave not the bridegroom quiet—no happiness must he have now with
      his bride,
Nor the peaceful farmer any peace, ploughing his field or gathering
      his grain,
So fierce you whirr and pound you drums—so shrill you bugles blow.

Beat! beat! drums!—blow! bugles! blow!
Over the traffic of cities—over the rumble of wheels in the streets;
Are beds prepared for sleepers at night in the houses? no sleepers
      must sleep in those beds,
No bargainers’ bargains by day—no brokers or speculators—would
      they continue?
Would the talkers be talking? would the singer attempt to sing?
Would the lawyer rise in the court to state his case before the judge?
Then rattle quicker, heavier drums—you bugles wilder blow.

Beat! beat! drums!—blow! bugles! blow!
Make no parley—stop for no expostulation,
Mind not the timid—mind not the weeper or prayer,
Mind not the old man beseeching the young man,
Let not the child’s voice be heard, nor the mother’s entreaties,
Make even the trestles to shake the dead where they lie awaiting the
      hearses,
So strong you thump O terrible drums—so loud you bugles blow.

Loved the energy and passion in the poem, so just shared it. It  was written by whitman during the Civil war years of US.

Beware of spammers

Just a few days ago I read an article on how the spammers make truckloads of money out of you. Here is a striking example.

I received this Direct Message on Twitter today -  get, get your iq score here… http://iquiz4348.info

out of curiosity I clicked and answered 10 dumb questions. All good till here. Looked like some regular websit trying to get promotion on facebook. But here's the spoiler.

My phone no. No one asks for that. they ask for e-mail address mostly which also you should never provide, unless you are fine with getting your inbox bombarded with mails trying to change your anatomy in various ways

So, I read the conditions, which i knew these websites are supposed to put. Now they are written with grey on a dark grey background so that you don't notice them unless you really want to.

Be careful guys. Donate $10 to someone who really needs it. If you need your IQ score ask your teacher or wanna check your relationships status then meet your girlfriend

Home trip :)

Mom’s have the power to make you do stuff you wouldn’t dream about. One of those being actually making a dork like me dress up and pose for a photo!!

I loved the trip home.It was awesome. My Bro took a week’s leave and we spent the week getting my jaws back working(Root Canal Treatements), visited the authentically duplicate markets of chandigarh, the rock garden and the famous lake.But couldn’t get any impressive view of the birdies for which chandigarh is specifically famous for .

A bike ride to Chandigarh from Ludhiana through all the green fields of North India can make you shout “Aweeeesssooommmeee” and it was nothing short of that. I get that nostalgic high of childhood which was spent so close to nature as a farmer growing crops in the field with dad and his brothers.

Someday, I will go back for good and get lost in the oblivion and enjoy the freshness of land. Just hoping that the villages are still villages by the time I decide to go back.

I love my India. I love my India. Now i truly understand why the rich NRI’s keep craving to go back home. It has all it’s shortcomings but it’s home
