Sin and religion
"Sin has no religion. It leaves its ugly trace on everyone alike. It is up to us whther we will do good deeds and reform ourselves, or sink further our narrow attitudes. Whatever be the prescribed procedure, genuine worship demands two things: faith and patience. These are our greatest aids on our path to the divine."
-Shri Shirdi Sai BabaIs Society a Disease?
Everybody seems to be blaming govt., population, corruption and blah blah blah.
People consider society as a disease and try to keep themselves and their children away from it. They don't know the severity of this or may be they don't want to because it hasn't caught them.
Common Man is as indifferent to society as any politician or a high profiler is.
Then what right do we have to blame anybody.
We feel helpless only when some outsider is burning in a fire. If our own piece of heart is there then our helplessness starts melting into panic induced movement.
I request you to please not throw the blame if not share it.
If you can't cure your society, at least cure yourself and your perspectives.

All about RUNNING
Just because somebody is running ahead of you doesn't mean that you will lose the race.
Don't stop, keep running.
If the race has just been started, you can't make any assumptions about who will lose in the end.
Don't stop, keep running.
If the race is near to its end, stopping is anyway going to waste all your effort.
Don't stop, keep running.
In the middle of the race!!! "WHY YOU STARTED AT ALL AT THE FIRST INSTANCE IF YOU HADN'T PLANNED TO COMPLETE THE RACE?"
So again, No use of stopping, RUN better every time someone gets ahead of you.
God, thirst and whip
Vous pouvez croire en Dieu de deux façons, ou comme la
soif croit à l'orange, ou comme l'âne croit au fouet.
You can believe in God in two ways, like thirst thinks about
an orange, or like the donkey thinks about the whip.
--Victor Hugo
Une mer calme n'a jamais fait un bon marin.
A calm sea does not make a skilled sailor.
-A Proverb
Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.
Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.
-Jimi Hendrix, Rock Star
Cricket and Philosophy
Experience is like a comb that life gives you when you are bald.
One, who doesn't throw the dice, can never expect to score a six.
Anybody can pilot a ship when the sea is calm.
Nobody travels on the road to success without a puncture or two.
You got to choose between tightening your belt or losing your pants.
Age has been perfect fire extinguisher for flaming youth.
More Crickety...
Wickets are like wives - you never know which way they will turn!
Deep Dasgupta is not a Wicket Keeper, he is a goalkeeper. He must be given a free transfer to Manchester United.
The third umpires should be changed as often as nappies and for the same reason.

Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrow keeps you Human,
Failure keeps you Humble,
Success keeps you Glowing...
But only God keeps you going.
Learning
Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily; and why older persons,especially if vain or important, cannot learn at all.
-Thomas Szasz, author, professor of psychiatry (1920- )
Tech rhymes with crime
“No other section of the population avail themselves more readily and speedily of the latest triumphs of science than the criminal class.”

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely
in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways,
chocolate in one hand, Diet Coke in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally
worn out and screaming "Woo-frickin'-hoo!! What a ride!"

Life, a compulsory Marathon
Life is a Marathon that you are bound to run in. Whether you like it or not.
After all, neither was your birth by your will nor you had any choice of worlds. Your track is time. Even the pace of your life is predecided. Neither you can complete the race faster and delve into future earlier than others, nor you can remain in current state for a longer duration. It's not the kind of ground track where you stand for a while in the middle of a race to rest.
Irrespective of what you do, your race starts at your's only cry and it ends with the silence of your last breathe. *
The only choice you have is either enjoy it :) or squall over it :(
*The people who didn't cried on their birth may replace the word "cry" with whatever sound they produced.
