Reminds me of the song Pal Pal hai bhari form Swadesh. Why do we celebrate these festivals??? It does not to have the same value... Seems to be just another holiday no one thinks about them. Some just do the rituals and others don't that is the only difference. Those days are gone when the every festival stood for a trait that was to be learned, a virtue to be added in once life. Now it is just something to show... But show what? That we are Hindus? Does lighting a few diyas or chanting few lines of sholaks actually makes us Hindu? Or just a good enf reason to buy new clothes? chillax at home?
I wonder does virtue actually has any value in life? If not why not? There is a trend in Hinduism in India that I am seeing these days... There no information, only misinformation. Too many (wrong)things are being done in the name of religion. I use to think that it is a problem faced more by other religion(recently) but now it seems to be fast spreading again in Hinduism.
But none the less I will enjoy my diwali to the fullest and hope u all do the same. Will continue on this thought later.

To ban or not to????
We can't just pick and choose what to tolerate [from The Hindu]
The whole article is worth a read, so i am not quoting anything in particular. This is about the 'burkha'/head scarf ban in Europe. Don't know what to comment on this issue. Personally I do not support women wearing 'burkha' or 'ghughat'. But on the other hand noone(includes the govt., their husbands, their parents, etc. etc.) has a right to tell an adult what to wear and what not to. So if they want to wear it... it is their wish and should be respected.

Why are we following other conservative religions????
Katrina's skirt creates a row in Ajmer via samamchar.com
What the hell is wrong with everyone. why do i see more and more headlines about what to wear and what not wear istead of some real issues in the society today. There are simply so many things that need to change in the society other than the lenght of her skirt... look around open your eyes.. no your mind and grow up.
I wanted to blog abt this for quite a few days here it is now
Forgive Afzal (via Hindu) and why not it will fetch these idiots votes. That is all they worry about... I have an idea why not hag one of them instead of Afzal. What say...

How can one event of life change all the priorities of life. There are a million thoughts running through my head these days and so many things that keep me busy. But there is nothing to show for.
Building a relationship takes effort, time and most importantly willingness to make it successful. :)
