Baisakhi or Bihu: celebrating the human spirit

Submitted by ramkrishna on

Baisakhi, also called Vaisakhi, is a harvest festival celebrated on 13th of April according to the solar calendar. Baisakhi is a time of abundance signifying both material and spiritual prosperity. Farmers thank God for His benevolence for ensuring a good harvest and pray for an encore next year. It also commemorates the establishment of the order of Khalsa for Sikhs. The legend goes that Guru Gobind Singh had announced that he required five men who were prepared to sacrifice their lives for brotherhood.

It should be there within you

To day after we sung National Anthem I turned back to see a person standing in attension. Interesting thing here is his respect for the national anthem. So what is special about it? He was standing with the support of sticks. moral: Whoever be it ... The rich or the poor ... the basic thing that a person should have within him is feeling for his nation.

Our school had its science block on top of a hillock. We used to walk up to the computer labs with our wonderful inspiring teacher Mr. Tindale. One afternoon, Mr. Tindale was talking about his work as a headmaster. We were talking about the ways to get the work done by people. In that conversation he cited this quote:

You can do anything in the world
If you dont look for credit

The Rush Of Blood

Submitted by rajat on
All of us know that reservation in educational institutions is wrong. Dont we? I am not exactly looking for people ho want to talk about that by means of this blog post. All I am looking for is this: People to come up and say -'This is what I want to do to oppose this move.' I am looking for people who want to take it on themselves to take up a protest. I am talking about direct action. Pl contact me if you are interested in this. If you have a rush of blood which is waiting to be converted into focal work.

Om Asato Maa Sadgamaya Tamaso Maa Jyotir Gamaya Mrityor Maa Amrtam Gamaya. Om Shaantih Shaantih Shaantih O, Lord please lead me from the unreal to the real. Lead me from darkness to light (i.e. from ignorance to knowledge). Lead me from death to immortality. May there be peace, peace and perfect peace.

I received a call today. It was from a very special person. A person who I has met 6 years back in the same month of April. A person who was so very important for me(and is). I have been bad at relationships. I can never really figure out what the others take for obvious. That is possibly one reason why people around me are usually frustrated with me. Whether they claim so or not is a different matter. Dust was slowly gathering on the relationship that we had.

Learning from Sachin

Submitted by sunny on

Hi I am a cricket buff but i really like it when I can appreciate the beauty of the cricketer as well as his art . of all the cricketers I have watched SACHIN TENDULKAR remains my favorite not just for his cricket but also for his persona now this is what I like about him :
1. CONQUERED MT EVEREST NOW AIMING FOR STARS - a person who has rewritten all the records in the cricket book still has the hunger to go n give 100% on the field . How many of us have the same dedication towards our profession or families.

Similarities Between Cricket match and Life

Submitted by sunny on

Hi we all have seen India playing a lot of cricket matches . but have we ever thought how much a cricket match resembles our lives . If u r not convinced read this one :
1.just like in cricket we also start our day cautiously .
2. then as the day goes on we adjust according to the situation. eg. if a few wickets fall early we decelerate but if we get a solid start there s no stopping .
3. as we progress into the middle overs or when half of our work is done we tend to relax and consolidate.

Maine Dil Se Kaha..

Hi there was a time in my life when everything I did BOOMERANGED on me. My grades in engineering were nosediving , my old friends ditched me , my girlfriend ditched me . aur to aur bhai logon ghar s jo firing hoti thi wo alsg. It was at this point of time that I came across a saying : ILL RUN TILL I CAN ILL WALK TILL I CAN ILL CRAWL TILL I CAN BUT U WONT BE ABLE TO STOP ME it was then that I realized the uselessness of sitting down and crying. That way I was always surrounded by misery . Some form of movement gave me 1 way to keep my troubles behind me .
