a few 'More than a compelling reasons' to avoid non-veg

1) Our human digestive system is not designed to digest the complex nonveg food.Think of it this way .... what i you are asked to warm up or a game of football and do 2 rounds of the groud and feel good to go. But then misinterpreting that more is better and going the extra-mile drain's you more than anything. In the process you end up being underprepared for the game called life, you feel exhausted and worne-out.



2) Hello my fellow global warmers .....you ask how .....heres how ...The amount of natural resources that are consumed in feeding what is to be the potential lunch or dinner contributes to 27% of the total global warming in te planet.To put it in perspective , all the vehicular pollution in theh world put together comes to only 20% of the pollutants. Cheif contributers, the amount of water,grains,fodder(plant life in one orm or the other) that goes into feeding it is about 1000 times the amount of water,plant(natural resources) required to sustain the highest order of health.



A fully grown buffelo in its life time consumes enough water to float a Naval destroyer !!!!!! now tell me



3) What do we all strive for , a life ful of peace without any agitation.Then why would you want to spend so much and end up getting all the negative energy. Here's how, thr animal has its own set of emotion the negativity of thought which is in pretty high proportion in all animals is what translates onto muscles and tissues. Not when the hunter goes for the kill all the negative energy during the chase is now embeded into the animals muscles. An there you are ... consumimg all the negativity freshly backed out of the owen. This makes a person 'Rajasik' and 'Thamasic' (in the highest scripture)where your body energy levels are not in harmoney with the nture around you and that is what causes anger aggression , leading to depression.





4) It eats into your pocket. Wondering How ?????!, Not on the amount of money that you spend to buy one. Infact since the majority prefers non-veg, the govt have to subsidice it. A MC Donalds burger actually costs 40 $but is sold for 4$ who pays the rest ????? .... the tax payer.



Ok and what i get to hear if that non-veg is the best form of protien , so where does that come from ... go explore nature there is enough out there ... enough to give you that protein if not more and a sustainable one at that ... and keep you more alert and aware

Exiting the mind game

If I were to say that all that you see around you and that you have been experiencing all this while that you have been interacting with the environment around you is an illusion, not every thing that you see andhave felt and have come to believe as being a 'No-brainer' conclusion is as trivally concludable as we have made it to be. Here's how startling this can get. What if i were to tell you that the blue skies that you are so used to seeing above you is not necessecrily blue or for those lovers of nature .. your roses are guilty ofnot being in as radient a color as you thought they were ...ahh and for people there who crave for the bullion... what you have and are paying so much for actually not glitter.

Having virtually got the world to its feet and having raised some eyebrows .. let me get to the point. You might wonder then of as to what is it that plugs the gaps by filling the colours into the complicated 3D WireFrame that this world is. Its that wildly friend of ours who quiet often steps into or should i add does so unsolicitadly into the actions that we happen to take and make then feel natural to us .. when on the controry it brilliantly coaleses information from different sources to generate the pattern we endup seeing.Its the mind that i am talking about.well then if you thought that WYSIWYG(What you see is what you get), this should make you think again.You actually are viewing the picture spanning a life time that is projected on the background of our retina ,not before it was processed possibily to take away what was real.

For all you know, we have been programmed too beleive that grass is green and the roses are red by our ansistorsThis should find support in the fact that all that we see around has evolved from nowhere during the big bang.It was all dust an fire at that point in time ,how that can transform into ocean that spans 2/3rds of earth is something that is worth pondering .The fire that we protect ourselves from is what constitutes you.Think this....If only our ansistors had reacted differently to coming in contact with fire , depending what they did , we could well have been embracing fire , instances of which have been in our scriptuers ,Sita emerging out of fire ,fire there acting as a cleanser.Amazing how perception is what its all about, the slightest of changes to which can turn yourworld upside down and make you feel like a fool.

Our preconceived notion of a society and all those cleashes that we want to so religiously cling on to is doing nogood to us. We seem to have chained our own thinking process in the fear of facing the unknown.Little are we realizingthat the finite understanding that we have of our strenghts is tying us down into misery.This whole notion of bindinghumans into rules and do and donts are putting bounds on our understanding.Cant agree more with why this is being called a kal-yug and the attributes that have been associated , what good can one expect of a sitaution where peoplefind themselves in a gam-packed furnace left to grapple with the fellow humans in the fight for a living, unaware ofthe unbound possibilies that lie outside.

The 'populous' debate

Having spent close to 1 1/2 decades basking in glory of the india shining campaign and now being
on the verge of taking this for granted , its time that we revisit what made us feel so and the
viability of it at that , think back and ull realize that at the heart of it all was this feeling
of having empowered ourselves into a buoyant feeling and quiet literally at that , the shear no of people
ready to weigh the global community down with their intellect , galloping opportunities onsite with the
voracious appetite that made the co-denizens of Hollywood run for cover, some thing that has become a trademark
now. To the extent that the usually articulate Americans(some might differ with me at that) are having
to comprehend this explosion of people with confused frown , well rather say that its been 2 decade long period
where the have constantly reframe an opinion about us , hnnn and we are not the ones to get that easily
deciphered are we...!!

And what is at the crux of this is the 'demographic dividend' the term under which the 'Indian Phenomenon' is
increasingly taking refuge under. Well most people who are accustom to (or should is say the victim of) the
(morning coffee + newspaper) combination will know what that terms stands for. The process of pumping people is
well on from the rural reservoir that is increasingly being accredited for having emphatically pulled
of the once seemingly herculean task of bridging the overseas divide gracefully ..kudos ...!!!.But one has to constantly
pinch himselves and take reality check , the question to be asked is if all this is helping us transform our
quality of life better.

The answer is shouting loud at us , starting from the fixable issue of chaotic roads, leaking drains,dust coated buildings
,littered cities to what is intangible impatient people, shortcut seakers, 'Sultans of Ego'(ill need another article to
delve in to that)unproductive one at that,most importantly the incomplete bigger picture of the world around,
where 'I','Me','Myself' is what ever action is intended to pamper , where all sane ideas have to take a back seat simply
because they think its outdated. If 'development' is what we want to name this and seek to draw parallels with the american
dream run , then i dont think the americans will be too proud of some thing like this.

We have taken a short sited approach to development. Cannot help but agree with the point that a renound Historian
Ramachandra Guha made , an argument in the lines of 'Why India will not and should not become a super power' , a truely
refreshing point of view of a passionate speaker whome I only key as a Cricket Historian until i came across this. A 'must
listen' 1 hr vedio recording that takes us through 10 reasons on why he believes so. This vedio sums it up all, rite from
his rendering to the Q&A session that had an Indian deferring with it and in his tone was not acceptive of the point of
view that saw his glorious country being cursed of non-progressiveness. Little did he see the bigger point that was being
made.

Some times we humans feel so stifled by the limitations that we have created for ourselves in not having been able to
express your point of view precisely ,if this was the case with someone who is as articulate as Guha .. well makes me
wonder of our languages are as incomplete a our thoughts are ...

holistics

'socital wellbeing' - A state of being of a group of people to whome conformity to a set of rules saposadly 'etched' to
completion by what i call 'self-proclaimed era-defining' thoughts , which otherwise should qualify as being nothing more than
'progressive cleshe' ,

Add the indian aspect to it and 'the samosa of life' gets a spicy flavour to it , what with its
emotions(complicated and layered once at that),and the big fat alloo of uncertainity stuffed at the very core of it.what that
throws up is the dangerous recipee of indulgence.Propelled by the urge to grab a hefty pie of which , people end up compromising
on the absolute.

A trip abroad on wrk, inflated bank balances and as a result of it , enough money for remitences back home .. sounds like the india story !!!
heres more ...uninformed,purely fantacy driven , voracious apetite to the $-factor , non-cognizince of whats expected ,top it with the habit of
fretting on the elusive.

How many times have we disliked the experience of being reminded of the fact that the correctness,quality,completeness are the desired
vertiues that result out of time-taking,persevering effort.Yet i truley commend the never dying spirit with which humans dare to dream to take
the shorter path , ofcourse only to be defied by time.Yaaa I know .. only if 20 years of youthful lifetime was time enough for us to complete
all our obligations of wanting to amass enough money, to have bungi-jumped in newziland,romanced in france, felt the cold realites of antartica,
,burnt our hands in the stock market ,taken a shot at a casino in Vegas, wondered at the misery engulfing a millionaire ...before finally
looking within and reconsiling ourselves of our worth.All this with the added complexity of having to compete with a billion of them ... I get it.
We surrender ourselves to the mercy of our resources(our sences) and fail to recoupe when its time,But the situation is not so rosy either.Rather
look at it this way .... a billion of them thinking alike , which rule of probability does that satisfy.Thats testimony to how restrictive we have been thinking
The fact that there is no sanity in thought and the insecure lives that most of us lead , there is every reason to believe that our steriotypes dont work.Quite
intreguing to see that in this 'era of accomlishments' we seem to have parellely distenced ourselves from our roots.I see Intelectuals suffer,
at the hands of some very ordinary ideas , great thinkers compromising on values. The bottom line being that its the completeness in the understanding that
counts , irresective of what we do. I dont think a man who has a holistic view on all factors influencing life will ever be a source of chaos to the society,
Where there is noise here are imbalances,infact disproportionate numbers of any kind is also cause or alaram, and when we thin of BIG numbers we think of
population and ofcourse we think of .....!! he he .But the bueaty of this universe being that there is nothing absolute which includes the existance of the Universe
in itself... so then right or wrong is only relative and temperory... as temperory as ourselves.That explains why every suggesssion can have a counter argument
to it and it can be won on very loose grounds as well.But if some practises can give us a temperory sense completeness its well worth a try.

Fear Perplexed !!!!

If emotion is told be controllable, fear being one sure is.

How naturally fearsome has fear been ever since we first encountered it..... ingrained in our DNA or has it ? Perception i believe plays a very important part in
the 'fear-index' of yours.

The beuaty of being human is in the subtility of balance that has to struck b/w being pround of the complicated entity that we are and the humbling feeling
derived out of demysifying this complex self.

So similar and cleshe are reactions to situations that some times i wonder if we every want to react diffrently.One hardly lets the 'brilliant-u' do its job
when confrunted with a situation of fear.We curb our natural instincts in doing so. That is a result of wanting to be in 'safe-mode' in life.That is where we go wrong
in being restrictive in thinking. I strongly recommend the book 'The greatness guide' by robin sharma. Ok the word greatness might turn half the ppl off from reading it
But if u dont , u sure will miss out on one of the most satisfying feeling , no where in comparision to the painful load of misery that a average human carries
to his death bed.

Look at it this way . The supernatural that GOD is ,has given us an opertunity to be a spectator to his brilliant creation , all we have todo is experience the process of your worldly
acions as a third party and not own it.That is when u have an uncluttered mind free of the burden of being the soully responsible for our actions.You get into
what i call is the 'Adventure-mode' .Treat every situation as an experience and not getting weighed down by the burden of expections that you build for yourselves.
And ull find results and how .... will find avenues of making fear work for u .... relishing the experience. Thats what most successful ppl do ...
Being alianated by ppl is considered reson for alarm and a need for change required from your side ... rather that is a clear indicator that you are not ready to
stand for what u believe in or in most cases one doesnt want to take the effort of analysing the situation at its merit.

It all comes down to how early you analyse and understand this and releave urselfs from the thoughts that is stopping u from unleasing yourselves.

The honkomaniacs

beep beeep ... beeeeeeeeep ...... peeep peeep peppepepepepepe ..... and not to forget the quintessential beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep !!!!!

If you think communicating orally takes 'effort' .. and you buy into the idea of 'it not being worth the effort' .... the 'world of short-cuts' has a solution for this as well ..... walllllllaaaaaaaaa !!!!!

Introducing the 'button press' technique of communcation.... wondering as to were i am going with this......!!!!!!!



The other day ... in another of those stressed out walk's down the lane ,when i was busy trying to figure out just how ... a road as wide as it was .... (with the road layers having been considerate of the 'volume' of traffic brrr....) could get clogged to an extent that pedestriants were having to get their sence of geometry spot on to make those precise angular turns to get past it .... i senced the feeling of something brushing my pants from behind ... and even as i prepared to turn back to give him a much deserved stare .... i heard the dreadfull music of him beep.An he went on and on with it until it stuck me that he was trying to 'beep me of his way' and with the pitch of his honk , he eventually managed to. Hows that for an 'effective comm alternative'

For a more rediculus instances now ....... ppl seem to have lost the true sence of the word 'utilisation' ...... and also the understanding of what a 'trafic signal' stands for ..... heres how .... If the signal turing from red to green is not an indication enough for ppl to go by ...then what is .....!!!!
I cannot help but redicule the impatence(which derives strength from the deep rooted and ever growing store-house of ignorence that ppl are unknowingly nurturing ,fueled by the unsensored ethos of our society) of a man who can think of nothing but honk completely aware of the fact that the traffic will clear in a second or two and then , he has the whole road for himself and those ...... the agression of the 'vroom' of the throttle only reminds me of war horses on their marks .. waiting for the command to tear appart the opposiion ... the only difference being that in the later .... the intensity in this case is well utilized.


I quiet litrally wake up to the 'suprabatham' of honkers ..... thanks to the location of our house which i must say .. is tailor made to receive the brunt of it... infact there are rooms that act as amplifiers to make things worse ...The honks bieleve me lastes from the begening of the road on one side touchs its peak at the juction(alongside which we stay) and melows down on the way towards the end of the other road ..... ok one more utter of the this and this could well be my last artcle from here......grrrrrrrrr !!!!11


phew !!!!!!!!!! what these things do at rhe least is motivate me to write up .... they have no other bright side to it do they ...'kahan woh din jab ham tarasthe the .. logon ki aahat sunne ko hyderabad ke un sunsaan galion mein ... aur kahan aaj .....jab hame use chehel pehel se bhaagne ka ji kartha hai ......'

Banglore makes me re-opine ....................

The scene is set at another of those gloomy or rather call it blore'ish evening's, I see all my apprehensions on work ruining my evening
plans fading away err ....!!!!, much to my delight.With every pending task being dismissed with a click of the send button, and my superiour oblidging
to all the answers that i had to give him ,with a gentle nod of his head in full approval .Puffed up i was , all set to kick of on my 'exended week-end' trip back home.
I could smell the uncetainity in the air ... quiet litrally ...... the heaven's had stayed silent long enough without intervention ... and up there they looked as though
shaded by brush strokes..... shades that god has reserved for blore ,inching to pour down waiting for the devine nod.

In the hope that the clouds would hold on aleast until i reached my room or the 'greedy me' wanted it to hold on all the way to the station .thats quiet an
unfair wish , in a place like blore where commuting has a whole diff 'time' dimention to it.A place where the average space a man occupies when he comutes on
is the size of a car (a sedane) and where fashion is synonymous to settinling for no less than going Kirkwood .At times i have found myself peeping in to find the commuter , who is usually a person who's physical dimentions are no way in proportion
to the mode of transport.I dare ,not to question them on this , fearing to hear the most dreaded answer , that of their 'human rights' being questioned. I see the lack of intent
to care for the society while we plan for our well being.

In todays times , when we claim to have fast-pased our life and to have surged ahead, we seem to have lost focus of out pusuite , or should i say of what
our pursuite is supposed to be. A changes i believe is requied when there is a need for one , a need to change say an existing system which does not deliver , but change has
become synonymous to changing times.and when that happens we end up loosing out to the change rather than gaining from it.An what have we lost from the recent
string of changes , well in the the persuit of simplyfying actions , we have lost the essence of the what it was in practices for ,in the first place .. havn't we ? A lot of
this has to do with the basic understanding of our lives. It all comes down to doing simple things rite.


The fruit of a successful completion of a task is in its completeness , and we get here only when we have a complete undertanding of why it is performed.That explains
the unsuccessful completion of all the tasks that we do. So all such situations should ring alarm bells in us which should help us realize the root cause of the problem and not surprisingly ,
in most cases we will find ourselves to blame for the consequences of our action.Beleive me .... if only every ine starts to practice this ... there would be absolutely no confusion.U will
not go around advocating ur point , coz it gets solved within you .You put yourselves under the scanner and look at it in the light of other circumstances.

That was from an idealistic perspective , and we have a long way to travel in this direction to even envision the bueaty of the fruits , it bears.
