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...

Legacy of Balasaheb Thackeray

I hope everyone has noticed the excitement created by the death of Bala Saheb Thackeray. Its just fine if you want to pay tribute to Mr.Thackeray and call him a great visionary and all. India is a democratic country you have every right to do as you please as long as it doesn't obstruct someone else's right. But when Maharashtra govt. arrested two girls charging them, of hurting religious feelings(Section 295 (a)) and IT Act for posting anti-Thackeray comments in facebook, any man in his/her right mind would agree, they have over-stepped their boundary. What religion are they talking about, he is a political leader,whose motto was to carry off non-Maharashtriyans from Maharashtra. Actually what the girls did was, one among them posted some comment on facebook wall and the other girl liked it. Those remarks showed their anger against the "bandh"(strike) on the day of Thackeray's death. If that wasn't enough shiv sainiks vandalised one of the girl's uncle...

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...
