Homosapiens - Curse or Boon ?

    We all know that we are going through an era where the earth is depleting due to our actions. We are the only species in earth who has conquered almost all the known habitats / regions which support life in earth. We are depleting the natural resources as days go by, the water level is decreasing - we even have started digging out non-renewable ground waters, Oil consumption is at its peak, population & average life span is increasing due to the intervention of modern technologies, deforestation is increasing in an exponential rate, cultivable landscapes are vanishing, animals and plants are getting extinct, Ozone layer is depleting, Global warming has started to show its after effects as days go by, Oh yes we have created PLASTIC... etc etc...

    When looking at all these from an environmentalist's eye, yes it seems like we are doing something really bad or may be its a fact that we are bad. We might be the so called evil species who are killing the earth.

    Quite recently I saw a monologue by Late George Carlin, one of the greatest comedian, Social Critic, Actor and Writer of all times - on the endangered species. It clearly explains - We Humans are not even a slightest threat / of no effect to our earth. Earth has gone through far more worse things than the acts by us. Earth has been effected with Meteorite collisions, Volcanic eruptions, tectonic plate movements, Tsunamis, Cyclones, Storms, Floods, Forest fires, Solar flares, Ice ages etc etc... do you think what we do is more worse than this ? I don't think so.

      The crucial fact, which every body - the environmentalists should realize is this - 99% of all the species that has ever been on earth is extinct as of now and this has not stopped it is continuing to extinct; along with the creation of new species. So a species getting extinct is not a big thing, some will go and new species will come into scene - that's all. Pretty simple.. right ?. To reinforce this look at dinosaurs the largest species who were ruling earth for a very long time, then it got extinct; later came Humans now we are the largest species maybe we will also become exitinct extinct after some time. But that's all just in the flow of earths cycle, which we have no control of. So its just that earth is fine, only we are the ones who need care.

     We should live our  life properly, as we just have one - don't care about some plant getting extinct or an animal getting extinct - because earth don't care about it. Earth has far more serious things to look at; like to stay put while traversing through space around sun at a speed of 29.8km/s while spinning on its own axis at a speed of 465 meters/sec, that also avoiding the meteorite collisions, solar flares, black holes or even some planet who might jump into the path. If I were earth, I would be more concentrated on it rather than some silly humans who are digging oil and water or creating plastic etc,, humans are not taking it anywhere; its just that we are remodeling it or maybe changing the composition of things that were already part of the earth. So I feel that we should stop struggling to keep the earth alive and start trying to keep the humans alive - maybe we utilize the funds we have for environmental activities to feed poor and starving children in Africa.

My moto : Live the life at its fullest, don't think about tomorrow; live for today as none knows whether we will live for tomorrow or not.

Call girl / Prostitute - The Socially Outcast Class

     Harlot / Strumpet / hustler / Pro / Slut / Lady of the evening - the list goes like that, seems endless. I know you must have got the point - Yes,I am talking about the class that we consider as dirty, out cast or evil. But  how many of us have taken an extra step or tried to think from their position ?

      Being a person who has spent considerable time in travelling, that also  having opportunity to meet and mingle a lot of people I can say this - What other women do for pleasure, they do it for money (Not a new quote but borrowed). Most of the girls who calls themselves as high class & roam around does exactly the same things but they do it for fun. Maybe they do have it in different names - one time stand, happy time, mutual friends, cool relation etc. That's about the high class people, who remains good n great even after doing all these things. I am not saying that's bad, because that's just a means of enjoying their life and no one can blame them for spending their life in a joyous manner; my whole point is that we don't have to blame some one who does the same for money.

    Nobody from the so called out cast class are doing this for pleasure from that, but they are staying in this field either due to pressure, helplessness or a desire help their rest of the family. Whomever I have met in this field had a sad story about being at that position, also an explanation about a set of people who is waiting the money from her so as to lead their life :- Father on death bed, mother trying hard to run the family, sisters & brothers  who needs to be educated. So they are putting themselves in this profession for a greater good, its something that we should admire on - rather than blaming them. If we cannot help them to lead a better life, how can we blame them ? Let them do what they want with their life, we should not be asking questions or blaming a group unless we can make them happy and upgrade their living standards.

God - A Mystical word


      I always had been fascinated with the word "GOD". But during my early childhood, it was more of fear than fascination. I am assuming that, it is because of the importance which people around me were giving for that. Being from an orthodox & religious family, it was obvious to experience such a thing. It became fascination during my mid-school age when I started playing games; now that might sound a bit awkward, but the truth is that it started with my craze for PC Games. When I was playing, there used to be a lot of scenarios where I was struggling to win – Then I came across a whole new world cheats and there I found GOD MODE. Wow, that’s when I had been happy like anything and thought how powerful it could be if I am a god – or whoever is in that position. Things I could do, things I could control etc. Everything got me into a position which made feel so great about the god / gods. But as we say we cannot always be children, I grew up and when I started the seeing world outside, it was disappointing.
         I realized the fact that in modern world, one who has cash is god, but to earn it it’s hard.  It’s the same old saying – rich get richer and poor get poorer. Ok, that’s fine.  We can understand that nobody is ready to share their own money to others, it happens – even I might not be ready give all my cash and live a simple life. But why is it that the religious institutions possess the greater lump of money – that also tax free - ? I was again perplexed and was going deeper with the religious thoughts – asked a lot of questions to myself – read a lot of articles – again asked why ? why ? why ?, no answer.
     But during the course I realized a bigger truth about the gods & religions, which was not only intriguing but also startling. I came to know the religions are spreading one of the biggest lies the mankind ever had heard of. They say that there is a god up above in the heaven, who cares you, loves you, looks after you, helps you in every thing but if ever you do something wrong – HE WILL BURN YOU IN HELL FOR EVER AND EVER – ha, what a controversial story. Yet, I am sad that most of the humans are sticking to that thing. That’s not it – I even realized one more surprising truth there are more than 30 gods with same exact story, spread across different civilizations & eras. But why ? the question again haunted the thoughts – I am yet not quite sure, but the most trustworthy story which I found was this. 
     The ancient people, who came up with the religious concept had been looking at a better thing, it was more of a moral live style. A way to lead good life, with some guide lines, also they were worshiping the ultimate power source, the place from all the energy is come in; without which life on our planet will not survive – yes, you got it – it’s the SUN. You can also relate it to the explanations about your gods – He can be seen among clouds, light of the worlds, defender of darkness, He will rise again the list is endless. It's not the end but its just a beginning of all the resemblances which the SUN has with the word GOD. Now that’s the day when I became an sun god worshiper (:D)  or may be started believing in the fact that don’t believe anything that has been told to you, unless you experience it. Till now, I haven’t seen a better god than SUN, who is far far better than some idols who don’t hear us or help us – ok leave us – help the poor or needful.

August 15, Indian Independence day - But are we eligible to be proud for it ?

They say we are independent - But are we; really ? 
I see our country being ran by buerocratic, self centered colonialists; who gives least priority to our needs & is concentrated mutliplying their swiss bank accounts.

They say our country is sovereign democratic republic,
But why I am seeing a particular set of families / groups always acquire their positions in government year after year; as if
 its their family property - or even it is reminding me about the stories of some selfish Kings & their kingdoms.

They say that our country gives improtance to equality & liberty,
But I see partiality in every nook & corner; people are dormant & are so very adjusted with the current scenario. If we don't have control over our actions or we have rights how can we believe that our country is assuring its citizens of justice, equality, and liberty.

They say our country is secular,
Whereever I go or what ever form I fill - it asks for my religion; People are afraid of intercaste marriage as they know the hardships which their child has to go through if they don't have a religion. Why is it necessary that I should adhere to one religion if I am livig in a secular country ?

They say India is a socialist country,
But I see that 53% of wealth is staying with 10% of population; for the 80% of population who are coming at bottom level shares 30% of the total wealth. Does that sound socialistic?

Just a thought that i would like to share with my friends who is spamming the social media with boasting comments n posts.
