One day in heaven Krishna to Karna, Arjuna And Duryodhna

“Probably, hundreds of centuries has passed by now, but beheaded corpse of known one, lightning pyres, howling sounds of grief still haunts me. I've no idea, when I should get out of this unknown fear of dismay” Arjuna said.

“Indeed! Little brother” Karna replied.“My condition is worse than you. Being on wrong side and, sin of attacking my own brothers with arrows of venom will never unburden me”

It is like any other day in heaven, exotic gust, loony wide spread silence, and two noble souls of Karna and Arjuna lost in an imitable conversation. With head dipped in lap with shame, Duryodhna is sitting next to them. In whole conversation, he did not speak a single word, and keep cursing his adamant behavior for the wholesome reason of blood shed at Kurushetra. They find Krishna coming from a distance, and when he approaches near them, with head bowed three of them folded their hand in Namastay. Krishna sit under a banyan tree, after his consent and blessings, they too take their position near Krishna feet. Before Arjun introduces lord to the going conversation, almighty Krishna to whom everything is known said, 'I know the reason behind these regret lines on your face, and in heart. Brother Karna... Brother Duryodhan, for you this Mahabharata is just a blood shed, which gives you nothing rather than an eternal pain of regrets for breaking the breach of peace. Please, don’t ail noble souls of yours with the feelings of a sinister. This whole world is a creation of Lord Brahma, In which hundred and millions of mere humans are puppets, playing part of their history encrypted in their destiny by Brahma; without his permission even ice can't melt in burning desert.'

Krishna rested for few seconds, and, after examining othersnods in conversation, again quoted 'Everyone on this mortal earth has its own version of good, bad or evil. Whatever deeds one did, became lessons for their upcoming generation. If you commit sins- you've to pay the price. In the same way, Mahabharata was not just an epic battle fought for infinite acres of land, or power, but it was conspired by Brahma for preaching the earth with the truth of "Gita." The red soil of Kurushetra is not the symbol of Pandvas victory, epitome of Karna velour or stubbornness of Korvas. This red color reminds the 'victory of truth' over evil, and, in future, if someone else dares to challenge the eternity of truth: it take time, but by the wrath of Lord Shiva, they will be soiled too. Krishna's words spell bounded three of them. They got their answer; all of 'em were just dices in the game of chess, not the players. Only playeris Lord Vishnu, Brahma and Mahesh.

My Experiment With Food

On route to South Africa, Gandhiji spent some quality time in London. Bonded by promise to his mother, of staying away from flesh, wine and hoes. . Everyone mocked him for him promise. Many others tried to lure him by forcing million excuses supporting Non-veg culture. Life became hell to him. For weeks he feed on food, which he brought along with him for journey. After food stuffs finished, he slept several nights with empty stomach.

And, then one day while roaming hours on streets of London, he found a vegetarian restaurant. A veg restaurant on streets on streets of London was a rare stuff those days. In decor area of the restaurant he glimpsed a book named “Plea for Vegetarian by Stakkie.” Without wasting any other second he purchased the book by paying three pounds. That night, Life took a U-turn. Not just because he filled his belly up to throat for first time he left India, but also due to total change in perceptions of vegetarian feed. Later, he avoided flesh just due to promise; now adopted it as a noble part of his identity. By every passing day his beliefs as a vegetarian started to elevate. “The ethics of diet by Howard William” was another book he liked a lot. In which he tried to prove Jesus, Pythagoras, Aristotle, saint and several prophets as vegetarian. “The perfect way in diet by Dr. Smt. Ane kings ferdie” made his vegetarian beliefs adamant. On a regular note, he enjoyed reading Dr. Alinsky columns, who himself was a profound vegetarian follower and supporter. According to Aliksey, Phosphorus found in vegetarian diet has more healing and resisting powers against diseases. It was mandatory for his patients to follow vegetarian diet. In inner pages, William described the healing powers of vegetarian food due to presence of phosphorus. Eighteen year old Mohan Das soon realized being a vegetarian is not the apocalypse of inner devils; it is medically proven too. Subliminally, he started to urge others to adopt. From seeds of vegetarian plants of thoughts grown. Technically a stubborn and more logical Mohan das emerged.

On knowing his affinity for book supporting vegetarian practices his many friends tried to convince him. They said “If you keep avoiding meat and feed on veg stuffs-you will be weak; it’s difficult to survive in civilized society without picking flesh”. He was also called as a freak who explores meaning of living beings in dead books. One day a close pal of him asked Gandhiji to join him for a dinner at extravagant Victoria Hotel. After denying him on so many occasions, finally Gandhiji had decided to follow him. In dinner, apart from a stingy looking liquid soup, he easily distinguished veg and non-veg food stuffs. In mayhem, he asked waiter to tell the ingredients of the liquid. Annoyed waiter said- uncivilized man, you seems wild. If you meant to argue get out of here and dine in some cheap restaurant. Instead of getting embarrassed, he felt delighted and left the hotel without complaining. Though he failed to find any other open vegetarian restaurant on streets of London; and like past once again embraced his bed empty stomach with no regrets at all. Now he found someone (waiter) as an aide who helped him in his campaign. Later Mohan Das described this incident as last clash between him and his friends who supports meat and flesh. Not just Indian community, but other in London who came to know ‘bout the incident appreciated him, for maintain his dignity under occult circumstances. Amid crater differences in thoughts, beliefs, and culture he earned enough love and affinity in his life for being a vegetarian. Thus, from a normal human being Mohan das, he began his journey to mahatma (saint); whose thoughts have not just enlightened India, but the whole world.

On eve of 2nd October his birth date also celebrated as world peace day, I decided to summarize a part of his autobiography “सत्य के प्रयोग:आत्मकथा(My experiment with truth)”, which I read years ago. Gandhiji illustrated this phase of his life as “My experiment with food”. I think, from the life of the legend -a lot is still needed to be learnt and advertise. Humans are placed by almighty at highest echelon of this biosphere. Carnivore animals are spelled to live on flesh of others, while vampires are subjected to blood only. Albeit the fact, we humans are subjected to none. A dinner table having food containing blood and flesh is never considered as healthy, moral or noble. Lord, God, Christ or Allah whomever we believe in has provided every living being equal right to survive on this diverse biosphere. “Humanity” is the crux of every holy book. So, deliberately we humans have to avoid food prepared from the grim and live of others. Don’t pollute your teeth with blood of innocence, and let the bio-diversity stable. a man is only known by his "Karma" and in heaven only good deeds count.

Four years back when I ditched non-veg food, so many peoples around me too advocated practicing meat. A number of times, I hummed them, even nodded ‘em. I was like I’m going to adopt it again. Then, I meet some noble people who are working perpetually for animal rights and welfare. Their posts and logic helped me in getting out of the trance of evil practices, which are inhuman and immoral too. Thanks a lot! Hitesh Kumar Dewani Mercedes V Del Castillo I promise, Soon you would see a vegan version of me, who don’t feed on milk products. As I started to believe in fact “only a child deserves mother milk; no one else ”
Be human! Be vegetarian.

TOI, You're reckless

Indeed or not but The Times Of India deeds on their feud with Deepika is totally impulsive. It seems as TOI attempt to avenge her for some personal issues. Deepika's column on her stand is widely appreciated . Not just from women organisation, but also from rivalry media and social networks. TOI full of elite team of writers and editors responded with a shameless answer.Though, as one of lead's in print media TOI stand of Posting even more stark pictures of Deepika's on their pages is making scenario vulnerable. However, what separates most of us from street-side louts is how we manoeuvre that gaze. Did we climb on the roof of the nearest building with a microphone, point at a person and howl, 'OMG, look, cleavage'? Because that's exactly what TOI did.

From ages TOI had dedicated four pages of there daily under city name(Bhopal Times, Patna Times, Delhi Times etc) for covering Bollywood and Hollywood gossips. As an avid reader of TOI from last two decades I witnessed so many stuffs which ain't deserve any space but they still printed 'em with sugar and spice. They gladly covered Kim Kardishian stark naked pics, Paris Hilton mms leak, to the recent scandal of pictures hacking. And now they're calling Deepika's picture unethical. I think they are not in their senses. It is well known fact that by tomorrow entire Bollywood will stand in Deepika's favor and she should even arrange too much of support from common household. I reckon- no one should give damn about TOI,as they're on wrong side of the river. So, an apology is best way to end this occult situation. Otherwise, it will become worst. Freedom of media doesn't mean they're going to ogle in the freedom of others. Simply, TOI has to understand 'Hate the sin not the sinner' By the way, In the war of shame, TOI recent response has added fuel to the controversy. We've to wait and watch for Deepika's move.

random..

Mischievously Witty.....

Do you ever think, Why girl cheeks are so puffy?......Amit asked to me
I 've no idea about biological reason but practically it may be possible due to boys kisses on their cheeks, which produces suction effect and make them swell and look puffy....I said in a single breathe.
P.S : No misogynist, just a random thought.
.
Masala Tea.......

In Bhopal, Today evening was a bit cloudy . Amit felt the essence of climate and decided to prepare lemon tea.Composition of tea was aptly good but instead of a pinch of salt, he added #Maggi_Masala in it, . After very sip, we tasted number of flavor's; sweet, salty, spicy, sour and much more. Even after several attempts,It was hard for us to gather courage to digest another sip of masala tea

Kids of Today.........

Krb Saurabh21 hours ago · Edited

After several sporadic research works, i concluded that Our current generation is far better than our previous ones.Previous ones means my generation,elder brother gen, my father,grandfather and every other generation from past. I am not saying it randomly but i have some strong evidences to prove it.Few days ago, i was in conversation with a Facebook friend of mine who keep the first two words of his name constant but replaces third one with a decent title taken from the name of some dashing superheroes,ace footballers,hardcore singers and every time i go through his fb account i remain flabbergasted after finding a new name of him.

He is really a smart kid who studies in 7th standard but his world well being is hard to compete. Apart from a lucrative name he has command over three different languages English,Hindi and French and the way in which he converses in English made me felt pathetic and lame.
At this tender age he has three girlfriends and when i asked him you have three?
He said: not exactly three but two, third one is just for time pass and remaining two are true loves of mine, one of live or die type.After listing to him i was in mute mode.In our time nine years ago, there were enough girls in our classroom but due to lack of communication we never talk to each other and our ego adds fuel to widen this gap.

When i was in 7th standard,four hairstyles which were in vogue are Dhoni Style, Tere Nam style, John Abraham style and last one is geek style in which guys parents pour too much hair oil in their kids head and comb them side to side(i had that hair style). Guys who had other three hairstyle were called Awara,lunatic and they became easy pray of teachers and principal and were scolded badly in front of whole classroom.And now the boy i am talking about has a new and decent hairstyle every fortnight, a hairstyle that we only see in men magazines.

Once he asked me what you do?
Study ....i simply said to him
Everybody studies but what you do apart from that dancing painting, singing.. or something else he asked again.
Boxing.... i lied in reply to his genuine and more serious question in context to his age.
Afer listening to my affinity for boxing, he behaved in a excited way and further said...So my problem is solved. Now you will help me in a fight.I am in a ambush with guys of 12th standard over fraternity on a ground and i have challenged them in ground day after tomorrow for a fight and you will must have to join me..
After he gave a pause to his fight description, I told to him... sorry buddy, i have exams in next two days .Even before i pause, he started again..No need to feel bad.just concentrate on papers, I have links with some engg students of our colony who looks like bouncers and they promised me that they will fuck those guys in seconds.

Now I have nothing to say about this kid who is miles ahead of me in every aspect had given me enough shock during a single conversion session. He has cool hairstyle, hot bunch of girlfriends, hobbies for spare time and even he is a part of gang named Rowdies and I have none of them at the age of 23.Whenever I felt low,I just talk to talk to this hero and his cool attitude and bizarre thoughts restrains every obscure problem of mine
Likely his next generation will be a step ahead to him and hope it will be.

This isn’t the first time I’ve recommended this language-teaching website (and app), and it certainly won’t be the last. Duolingo is a free version of Rosetta-Stone that delivers the same results: teaching you another language. Regular use of the site can have you speaking and writing Spanish, English, German, French, Portuguese and Italian in a matter of months depending on the diligence you put into it. Hopefully, even more languages will become available soon.

3. Justin Guitar

Guitar is one of the few instruments out there that’s actually pretty easy to learn if you’re a little older, making it one of the most accessible instruments. Still, learning how to play still takes some direction, at least for most people, so a guy named Justin decided he was going to help out. His website provides hundreds of free guitar lessons that range in different styles, depending on how you want to play. His schedule for learning is pretty easy to follow, and the site is a great stepping stone for people wanting to pick the instrument up.

Hundreds of millions of people have benefitted from the information that they can learn from these courses, starting a trend for other sites to offer free courses as well.

8. Investopedia

I don’t like to admit it, but my lack of a business degree tends to make me feel easily intimidated when a conversation starts taking a turn for the financial.

There are tons of resources like tutorials and videos that will help you keep up with the ever-changing world of money, and the news stories will keep you coming back for more.

You can answer questions too and get feedback from numerous others who share your love for a given topic.

10. Information is Beautiful

I love reading, but sometimes a visual demonstration just makes information come alive. Hence, Information is Beautiful is a platform that uses gorgeous visuals to impart data. For example, if you want to find out how much money individual organizations have lost from data breaches, you can view an action visual that shows bubbles that are labeled and sized accordingly, giving you an in-depth, but easy to digest overview of the data.

11. Spreeder

According to Spreeder, a lot of us have trouble reading quickly because we can only read as fast as our “inner voice” can. Spreeder’s solution is to teach you to read without an inner voice, boosting reading speed and comprehension immensely. The best part? It’s totally free.

With Codecademy, you can use free tutorials that teach you the basics of coding with interactive and handy tools for helping you become an expert.

Imagine if Google Earth and Wikipedia decided to make it official and have a child. That would be GeographyIQ. Using the world map, you can select any country and access virtually every facet of useful information there is about that country, including history, currency, population and more.

15. Anki

It’s no secret that the key to memorizing information is mastering recall. With flashcards, you can recall things faster, making Anki an ideal resource for using flashcards online. Unlike other sites that use flashcards, Anki allows you embed more than just text. You can use video, audio and images to help you start studying faster and smarter.

Using a daily schedule of games, Lumosity is literally designed to make you more clever. As you progress, the software figures out what your strengths and weaknesses (such as memory or math skills) and assigns you games accordingly. The best part is that the games are actually addicting and fun to look forward to!

Want to take your coding skills to the next level? Learn Street helps teach you how to use advanced coding scripts such as JavaScript, Python and Ruby without making your head explode. It even provides a service for helping you teach advanced code to others.

22. HowStuffWorks

There are things we want to know about, and then there are things we didn’t know we wanted to know about. HowStuffWorks addresses the latter by providing information on a variety of topics and eye-opening facts that will broaden your horizons.

23. OneLook

Finding a great dictionary is not a difficult task in a world full of search engines, but it can be tricky to define more complicated words and phrases that most dictionaries (besides UrbanDictionary) don’t attempt to define. With OneLook, you can find multiple definitions from numerous dictionaries in one place, even if you’re looking up a phrase that is obscure or too specific for normal dictionaries to help you out with.
