Values, principles and our lives

Everyone wants to be different and that one thing makes us all the same.There is no value now a days, only trends.People are attracted to trends not values. we need a scrupulous society, run by men with principles, not by some trend or impulse. Trends are just popular tastes at a particular time which will not last much. On the other hand, values are forever. It defines a person, his character and who he is. Trends are more like romanticism, it portrays a person's(or society's) present emotion, what and how they are feeling right now.
Some says good and bad are relative concepts and i belong to that some. Since we are social beings there will always be a collective good, which means all those doings that bring good to the human society and collective evilness that is not good for the survival of society. It is the same for all social beings, whether it is lion, or wolves or us, but ofcourse there will be a profound diffrence in our case b'coz of our big brain, using which we interpret things.
Everyone have their own versions of good and bad, but if we are not cautioned our sense of right and wrong would clash and thats why we as humans set certain rules, that will result in a common good, as values and principles. If we need to sustain a peaceful social life we should have to sacrifice some of our freedom for the common good . Now a days people are ending up more and more lonelier even though thay are living in a society. Our present day life is more of an oxymoron, living in the crowd yet alone with their lives.

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...

Goeldi-chironomous

From time immemorial we humans have been thinking that the earth is a place which God built to teach us some manners. No religious texts seemed to mention another animals specifically and importantly as we. Everything was about us. We were the center of universe. Well this study puts one more bullet hole in that theory, because scientists found out that there could be more than 1 trillion species housing this planet. And we're just one among them. Oooh that sucks! Yes that's right, you've heard me, scientists have proof for that now. This profound work is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). It's such an amazing and groundbreaking effort by the scientific community,trying to map the biological diversity. The number of living beings shot up because this time extensive mapping of microbial life has been done. Usually people ignore the microbial diversity because they are invisible to the naked eye. The volume itself makes people's eyes pop out in amazeme...

THE EPIC - where to draw the line?

India is the land where history and myth get intertwined in such a way that you cannot say which is which. One of India's gift to the world of literature is her majestic epical wonder " Mahabharata ", attributed to some one(might be one person or many) called Vyasa or Vyas ( Ved Vyas ) which literally means one who dissected 'Veda' (religious and philosophical writings of Hindu religion). Research on this great epic revealed that many appendage had been done to the original text , before it became whole. Mahabharata's impact on Indian psyche is so profound that people consumed every word of it as such. Characters were being worshipped as role models, like modern day Bollywood stars. As the generations passed by, line which divides the story and reality started blurring. Stories told and retold, appended stories that were not present at the beginning happened, kind of regional versions. Many dynasties and empires came and gone everyone tried to leave t...
