Why are we like this?

People were busy fighting over an Anti-Islam movie  for the past week. So many have died and mortally injured in the protest, reminding some kind of revolution. The question that pops up in my mind is "for what?" actualy it shoud be other awy around "for what not?"

Some dumb jerk made some movie which instigated violence, may be he is a sadist or he may have some other reasons like political or religious. And for this foolishness people are losing their lives in some unrelated countries. You may think that "Where are u living man? they are all belong to same religion and thats the relation". But any person their right mind would agree with me that these people of the so called same religion are the ones fighting and countering it in their own countries. The most interesting thing is that such issues often get public interest as something of great importance, even worthy of dying.

                                                      

Does "God " worthy of  fighting for? Why do we need defend god if he is almighty. Isn't this mayhem for defending the right of god is a concreting evidence that deep inside our mind we think that god is not so almighty  without us, he can't exist without humans, as we perceive him, he doesn't have an existence outside the scope of our mind. If I am wrong then we wouldn't dare fighting his fight.

I think we humans always feared chaotic state, even in utter chaos we try to find some order. If something that cause chaos in a group, even if it is the truth itself, we will turn into both defencive and offensive mode. To us, its not about truth or facts, its all about certain pattern where nothing out of this pattern or without order happens. That what happen when we think someone is attacking our belief system, which we had been following all these years and suddenly some one try to mock it or try to nullify it, we panic.

Now on the other side of the world a 14-yr old Pakistani girl had been injured  severly by "Taliban", and her crime was taht she dared to spoke the truth about Taliban and Islam extremists. In the eyes of this know-all religious fanatics what would a little girl would know about great "Islam" and its tradition. Attacking a child? if Prophet was here, how proud he would have felt ?. But we didn't find any protest of world wide nature in her defence. The harder we try to answer the question, why are we doing this? why the hell are we like this?,  farther we are getting from answer it seems.

The bloodsucking Yakshi

When I was a kid, April and May fell in the list of my favourite months. Not because it's going to rain and there would be mud all around, but those are the months my cousins would be here at our family house, in our hometown in Kerala. Those are the memories I would cherish forever. My grand-mother has 5 offsprings, 4 boys and a girl. My father is the second eldest of five. Then, he was the only one staying in Kerala and everyone else was in different parts of India, a Pan-India Family one could say. We were all present, it's like Parliament, shouting, laughing, scolding children, people everywhere, busy doing their chores. An outsider entering the home can still go unnoticed. Life was less complicated then. We were just ........just ourselves. Everyone you valued dearly is with you. It's like, the world has shrunken to a square block of bricks and mortar. Now it's all feel like a fairy-tale, one of the best things about joint-family. We are all tired of day's...

Youth and Politics

Our political system is crippling and burdened with over aged hypocrites. I honestly believe our politics  need a revamp. Don’t you think present is ruled and governed by the ghosts of past. There is big difference in past and present  social values.  Don’t get me wrong, when i colloquially put it as older people coz you might think i am some kind of Nazi. When i say older, i meant our over-the-hill politicians, you can say they have experience and all, but right now what we need most is not experienced minds but bold minds who can accept the change happening around and those who are willing to break free from the old traditional format. The average age of our Parliament is over 60 years. How many leaders are there in our parliament who are not from a well-off and don’t have a criminal background. Most of our politicians and executives for that matter are sycophants. Being rhetoric and sycophancy are the trademarks of most of our statesmen. This sycophantic behaviour de...

From a socialist point of view

"the private and individual is altogether banished from life and things which are by nature private, such as eyes and ears and hands, have become common, and in some way see and hear and act in common, and all men express praise and fell joy and sorrow on the same occasions"                                                                                                                               - Plato, The Republic That was the seed which grew into a big tree which considered as the ancestor of Communism or socialism (of course there is difference in Communism and socialism) or simply, you could say a classless society, where people share all their property. ...
