Equality (contd.) Castes


In this post I'll be talking about the caste system so prevalent in India..

The caste system when it was started it had a meaning of its own.. But the concept was soon forgotten.. I have discussed that in my previous blog post..

But soon the so called Brahmins began to think that they were superior than the other castes. They mistreated the other so called lower castes. And not just Brahmins. A hierarchy of the castes were made, with Brahmins at the top most positions in the society, followed by Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras.. The Shudras were considered Untouchables by the so-called higher castes!!

Repressed for so long the lower castes hit back.. Now they are given RESERVATIONS by the Brahmin elites!! And the lower castes are happy about it! But I ask, does that change anything!!?? The arrogant Brahmins still think that they are better of as they are somehow nearer to God or something.. Inter-caste marriages are still a nightmare in India? Why?

As I said before, RESERVATIONS are the most hypocritical way of saying "We are Equal".. Giving reservations is just a method of filling vote banks.. THAT'S IT!! It's just a way of the so-called higher caste clearing their conscience.. It doesn't bridge the gap.. It's just widening it. Rather it's cyclical! Let me explain how.

There was a time when the higher castes used to enjoy all the privileges in the society. And that was irrespective of whether they were worth it or not.. Now their guilt has made them promote reservation for the lower castes. Now the reservations have become so dominant (in some places), that right now higher castes have become minorities. They are now suffering what the lower caste had suffered before.. I see less worthy people getting to better places than worthier people just because they are so-called lower caste and have reservations. This obviously infuriates the higher castes.. This rage will build up eventually.. And this is definitely not healthy for the society.

I have met some people of so-called lower caste who actually deserve the reservations.. And then I again I have met those, who don't.

Does reservation of caste solve problems? NO! if government HAS to uplift the lower caste, they should uplift the POOR- people who are economically low!! Reservation for caste has no logic!! There are well-to-do lower castes who pay 500 for some things while poor higher castes are paying 1000 for the same! Is this justice?

How can you solve this?

2 things: 1) Education and 2) Reservations to the right population

We need to educate people that caste system is of the bygone era. It has no relevance as of today! The so-called higher caste should let go of their arrogance.. Renounce their "higher powers". Inter-caste marriages shouldn’t be a taboo! And caste system should go, once and for all!

Reservations should be given to the people who are BPL (Below Poverty Line).. And not just reservations.. They should be given privileges too (which I am happy too see, are given to some extent).. Reservations shouldn't be a "Familial" thing, but a "Situational/Socio-economical" thing, i.e. one shouldn't be entitled to a reservation or additional privileges because of their name (thus describing them to a particular caste), but because of their socio-economic status, because of their being underprivileged. So that when they become better of and are no more underprivileged, they should no more be entitled to Reservations or additional Privileges.

Maybe then we can truly say "We are Equal"!

Equality (contd.) Males and Females


Last post on my blog was related to the misconception of equality. In this post I will talk about Female-Male Equality.

This is one of the quintessence of misunderstanding that is prevalent in today's society. The society continues to emphasize that woman can do what man can and they are no less to man and shouldn't be mistreated. And I agree with that. But the extensions of this emphasis, according to me, are not justified. It's the guilt of previous wrongdoings that keeps it justified.

When I see around me, I see mostly a Man dominated society. Man hasn't changed his attitude towards females. Instead, by saying stuff like males and females are equal, and giving female reservations, etc. they are just buying salvation for their guilt. Tell me, if males and females are equal, why do you need a reservation then? Does reservation solve the problem? I don't think so.. I think it's a palliative treatment. The definitive treatment is proper education..

Males are Females are not equal. They are very much different individuals. Man has a skeletal structure that gives him more strength than a female. Woman can give birth, can feed the newborn. A man, mostly, has a logical brain, that makes him make decisions better than females. Females have a brain and hormonal physiology that makes her more enriched on the emotional side. She has great intuitive powers. Neither Anatomically, nor Physiologically are the two same completely.

So is that bad!!?? NO!!! It's the best thing that could ever happen.. Even in Physics we know like poles oppose and unlike poles attract.. Think of it as two pieces of jigsaw puzzle fitting harmoniously together..

I think, both males and females have different purposes in the society doing their own thing and living in harmony.

What I see, today in the world, at least around me, a woman wants to compete with man! I have seen women say that if they don’t get a job like men, they won't have respect like men! Why? Why can't men respect women for what they are.. I think the present attitude of females are because of the attitudes of the inconsiderate men.. Men think that brutal strength is THE thing that decides who's superior and who's inferior! If a female doesn't OBEY his commands, he can beat the crap out of her!! THAT'S IT!! WHY?? Repressed females now hit back! They form women organizations fighting for their RIGHTS!! How pathetic can that be!! And MEN give them RESERVATION!!! Hah!! How considerate!!!

Moreover, what hurts me most is how it affects the children.. I see parents leave their babies to babysitters because they can't get time for their children.. Some are so busy, that they could even perhaps forget how their child looks!! Does a child grow healthy abandoned like that? But I don't blame parents for the situation.. It's more because of the economic situation of the world. Anyways..

I think the world would be a better place if women were thought to be women and not men.. Women don’t need to pretend to be men, if men don't torture them just because they are women and lack in brutal strength.. Each is a human with different characteristics and different function in the society.. None is superior or inferior.

Harmony and peace!

Equality, a misunderstanding


Everybody is equal in God's eyes.. But the concept of equality, I think, has been misunderstood.. And this misunderstanding is so deep and labyrinthine that people today fail to see the actual meaning of it..

Generally speaking, when societies were forming in mankind's earliest days, they understood the differences.. Man's attempts at trying to understand things that happen around him, made him categorize and analyze. At first things were good.. But through the ages, the concepts for the conception of the differences became oblivious.. Man forgot why the differences were?! They were so blind that they thought God had made things to be like this. And as man sought power, he made these differences as a source of forming hierarchies in the society, too.. So there were those who thought that they were better of than the rest.. And these "rest" rested at the bottom of the hierarchy.

Those who were at the bottom of this man-made hierarchy were mistreated eventually. They were thought to be unworthy souls. But what happens when u treat somebody badly for ages? Their comes a critical moment, when the mistreated rises and says, "ENOUGH!" And there is a revolution. And so there was…

So in the not-very-distant past, these revolutions took place.. Those placed higher were shaken.. And as time progressed, man understood how much they have wronged. This immense guilt made them take action, make amends. And trying to make amends they made another mistake.. They propagated Equality, a misunderstanding.. Man has forgotten the actual meanings of equality, and blinded by guilt they didn't realize what they were propagating! And as of today, I think, the misconception prevails.. I think its not about "Equality", but the "Harmony among the Differences", the "Unity in Diversity".

These approaches at uplifting the wronged are, according to me, the most hypocritical method of saying "We are Equal". No we are NOT! Not TOTALLY! Every individual is different! That is why they are Individuals. But they are not completely different. There ARE aspects that are Equal.. But the present society, I think, fails to understand these aspects.

I'll be talking about some of these in the following posts in my blog. These will include  Male-Female equality Caste equality, etc.. Read on..:)

God! (contd.)

Hello.. Last blog I left at External Parent.

I came across this book "I'm OK, You're OK" by Thomas A. Harris. It had in it
the concept of PAC (Parent- Adult- Child).. It's a simplified version of
Superego-Ego-Id model of Transactional Analysis, proposed by Freud, made
especially for layman.

I'll summarize it as:

Parent: it's the part of a person that has been "taught".. It mostly consists
of tradition, teachings, prejudices, etc.. Imagine it as a part of your
personality that stores information about what elders teach you.

Child: it's the part that the child "feels".. It mostly consists of all the
emotions like, anger, happiness, depression, guilt, creativity, etc..

Adult: it's the part that analyses the data from Parent and Child and after
testing/processing the data it accepts or denies the data..

For example, you are taught that you shouldn't touch boiling water.. This
data is stored in your Parent.. When you grow, your Adult develops. You touch a
bowl of boiling water and u feel pain.. Immediately the Adult accepts the Parent
data..

Similarly data from Child is accepted or rejected.. A child who has been
loved very much, will have a lot of data on feelings of love, and a child
DEPRIVED of love, won't have that much data related to love, and would grow up
as a hard hearted person.

Thus, a healthy P-A-C keeps life running smoothly.. For more details, check
the books, I'm OK, You're OK, Staying OK, Games People Play.

Now what's an External Parent..?

The Parent (esp. the data accepted by the adult) always tell us throughout
our lives what we should do and what we shouldn't. Like, we shouldn't lie, we
should be humble, we should be truthful, we should respect elders, we shouldn't
steal, etc. etc.

So, ultimately, we depend on he Parent to tell us what's right and wrong..
Whenever you plan to do something wrong, the Child in you feels the same "guilt"
or "anxiety" that you had felt when you were young and you did something wrong
and your parents scolded you or punished you..

When things go wrong or right, you blame or congratulate the Parent in you
and the people responsible for shaping your Parent, like actual parents,
guardians, elder brother sisters, uncle aunts, teachers..

There's a peculiar human tendency of externalizing their Parent.. As in,
humans sometimes make some other person responsible for their actions.. For
instance, you tell your friend to scold you if you don't study properly.. After
you have externalized your Parent onto that friend of yours, your Child goes
crazy.. Because the Child can sometimes be crazy and is always kept under strict
check by the Parent or Adult.. Externalizing the Parent is an indication of a
weak Adult.. And now that you've successfully externalized your Parent too, the
Child feels free to do ANYTHING it wants.. If things go wrong, blame it on the
external Parent..

So, in the above example, after telling your friend to scold you if you don't
study, you go on to play and have the time of your life, and you fail in your
exams, and then you come back to your friend and scold him/her that he/she
didn’t scold you enough, etc.. And I am sure you could relate to such other
examples, either being the one who externalized your Parent or had been the
Parent for someone else..

In the present society, God is this External Parent.. Externalizing your
parent, makes you feel LESS RESPONSIBLE for the issue at hand.. Like you say,
God is responsible for making this universe and stuff, He knows the future,
He'll take care of everything, and YOU activate your Child in full mode and
"feel" that you're not responsible for all the destruction that you're doing..

This is what Man is doing nowadays.. Externalizing his Parent onto God, he
"feels" he's not responsible for all the chaos and destruction that he's causing
to Earth. He thinks he is not responsible for all the cruelty, all the killing,
massacre that he's doing.. After doing bad things, Man looks at his External
Parent, "God", to see if He punishes him.. But your external Parent can’t punish
you enough, can he.. Some who get punished enough, become reformed, while most
others continue their bully.

I don't know if God exists or not.. Maybe he does.. But even if he does, I
don’t think even he'd want to be an External Parent for all of mankind….. and the most give-away proverb that supports this assumption is, "God helps them who help themselves".

So, I think it's time we started helping ourselves, rather than waiting for God to do miracles.....

God!

Let's talk about God and Religion today…

What or Who's God?

Let's go back in time..

Early man: no science.. None whatsoever.. No fancy car, no dishwasher, no
electronics, not even table-chair! He's hunting, and surviving..

Imagine yourself as the dumbest person on this planet.. You see the morning
sky and see the sun, what do u think? Wow! I can't see that.. That's one hell of
a bright light.. You look at it in awe as it sets and rises! It's warmth
energizes you after cold night..

You see rain.. Thunder clouds.. How do u feel? U feel scared.. If you are
having a hard time imagining, think of your childhood.. Weren't you afraid of
thunder and lightening?

Of course! It's suppose to scare you.. It's how evolution of brain has
happened! Being scared of loud noise! It gives u an impulse to protect
yourself.. Go inside a cave or something..

But then you ask yourself, who was "shouting"?? Was he angry or something??
Exactly what this early man used to think.. And they name him GOD!!

Early man couldn’t understand all the mysteries of the universe.. Why that
"bright light" kept coming up and going down, why the burning heat during
summers, why the freezing cold during winters, why the fierce rain during
monsoons, etc..

WHO was controlling these things after all!!! (Oh and that WHO isn’t World
Health Organization)

So, they ASSUMED, that there was this superpower, a master, the controller
who had created them..

C'mon!! They didn't have geography lessons to tell 'em that the earth is
round and it's the 3rd planet from the Sun, the so called "bright-light"! Nobody
told them about solar systems, air compositions, biology, chemistry,
electricity! Poor guys!

What do u do when you see a nice and interesting thing you donno about? You
make up a story! You make assumptions! You make discoveries and you invent your
discoveries!

So God was created!

What does this guy look like? Ooh he's definitely a man!! Look at him roar
(thunderstorms) when he's angry!! What language does he speak?? "God knows"!

So now we have a God, who looks like a human, and supposedly a male, and he
commands all of Nature (the wind, water, earth, sun, etc.)

One MAN!! GOD!! MALE!! THAT'S IT!!

NAH!!! Not liking.. Let's add a female.. That poor guy can't do everything on
his own!! This GUY should have a wife, some sons and daughters, a ministry, blah
blah!

What's this!! EVOLUTION!!

A man's opinion is a product of his surrounding.. So I don’t doubt that while
cave men thought their Gods lived in caves, kings and emperors thought their
Gods lived in palaces!

So as society developed, religious men also thought that even god has some
society or ministry kinda thing.. Lets make one take care of wind, one for
water, one for earth, one for food, one for this and one for that! WOW!! SO MANY
GODS!!

So as man evolved, concept of God evolved.. Until recently.. I'll come to
that soon..

Let's talk about RELIGION!

Early man: hunters. Killing, and feeding! How disgusting, you'd say! No
manners!! Sorry to say, but they didn't have moral science class those days..

But then came this "thinker" who thought, that we are under the command of
god! So this "thinker" guy is now our moral science teacher for all around
him/her. And I assume this moral science teacher is old.. Else he wouldn't have
many listeners, now would he!! Who listens to a stupid young fellow!! c'mon!
he's soooo young!! Yeah you get it.. This guy's old.. And maybe, just maybe, he
has some nice hallucinations, because of scientific causes we know affecting
old! But who's gonna tell the other people that this guy needs a hospital and
not an audience!!

But anyways amidst his hallucinations, he tells wonderful stories.. He
teaches the young people the meaning of life! He tells about God.. Everything
that he thinks is positive

These stories are carried forward.. And as they are carried forward, they are
modified.. And you have no idea to what wonderful spicy substances are added to
it!! I call it the best cooked recipe!

So we now have a story, and a moral science book for those hooligans who are
not moral..

This is actually how empires spread.. This concept of religion was a
brilliant idea to make uncivilized humans, civilized!! It was ingenuity of the
human brain to devise such a fabulous masterpiece to make humans what they were
to human what they became.

But THEN things changed!

WHY?

'Cause there wasn't only one psychotic "thinker"!! There were more!! All over
the surface of Earth!! And as explained in my last blog, communities met, there
was a collision of beliefs! And this resulted in wars, superior-inferior
duality, etc.!

So, now not only were humans fighting, but even Gods were! Say for example,
let's have a death match between Allah and Ram! Yeah right! Hilarious! Next
round with Jesus perhaps..!

God and Religion in Present society..

After discovery of science, all those unsolvable mysteries (like, what if we
fall from the edge of the earth?) were solved! Humans realized it wasn't God who
was controlling things at His bidding.. There were scientific proper reasons to
things that happened around us.. Why rain fell, why sun is so bright a light,
etc. etc…

BUT.. GOD remained.. WHY? Because the stories are wonderful and grannies love
telling nice stories to startle the young newborn's mind!! And religious stories
somehow make the best bedtime stories! And why not.. Even in school perhaps!!
After all it was "THE INGENIOUS IDEA" that made uncivilized, civilized.. Now who
wants their children to be uncivilized!! Not me! So tell the best story ever
made!! God and Religion!

What's God's purpose now?

Apart from mental solace, God has now become, what I call, the
"external-Parent".

What's that???? :o

Read on.. Next blog soon..;)

The World Now, the World Then, the World To Be!

As the world comes to its present stage, I wonder how it was before..

What do we know from history and science books about evolution of human beings? Human's evolved from apes. They were hunters and food gatherers.. They hunted in groups. And slowly began grouping and socializing and building societies, families, etc.

This is what I infer..

Not all humans are equal. Everybody is different in their own good ways.. Some were good at cooking (considering they had discovered fire already), some were good at hunting. Some could run faster, and some had better vision. And maybe some were better at communications and decision making.. So what do the humans decide?? Work together!! Together they hunted better and could protect themselves better..

As their brain grew more complex, they started questioning and trying to understand things. Even the emotional component grew complex.. So they started building families, and societies.. Meanwhile they also invented GOD for questions whose answers they couldn't find..

Now all over the world such societies flourished.. All had different beliefs and concepts to the world they saw. For example, humans who flourished in forests and good vegetation around, had their primary food as vegetables.. As their spiritual concept evolved, they felt God was responsible for the delicious food in the form of vegetables (vegetarian). Meanwhile people living in desert areas had a tougher life.. They had to hunt and kill and also had to compete for food.. The environment was hostile (or had grown hostile) due to climatic change and prolonged grazing of tame animals.. So basically meat was their food.. They believed in non vegetarian food as their primary source.. Meanwhile people living on the shores had sea food, fishes, etc. (non vegetarian).. So although both the communities are basically humans, but one has become primarily vegetarian and others non vegetarian.. Their concept of god evolved similarly. So while some sacrificed goats and bulls in the name of god, for others harming an animal was a sin.

Religion was devised to teach eager people the reason for their existence.. A novel idea. Beautiful stories were fabled.. Stars were followed.. Astrology was invented.

Some societies (like Aryans) built caste system. Another novel idea! They divided labor according to the individual skill. People with better logic, made decisions (Brahmins). People with brutal strength fought wars (Kshatriyas). Those with skills of making things, exchanged what they could make/create and did business (Vaishyas). Those with no skill were asked to clean or work as laborers and farmers (Shudras)

What happened after that?

Population grew. It's no rocket science. A limited space and population growing.. Two communities, that had started far away from each other, met. And what happened when they met? What happens when u meet a stranger? You are afraid. Everybody is afraid of the unknown!

Oh and if I forgot to mention!! Humans from different communities didn't only have different eating habits, and religious/spiritual beliefs. They had also different character, physical qualities like height, skin colour, hair colour.

So! When two different communities met, there was a collision.. The resulting existent belief depended on how they settled the collision.. If they went on a war, the stronger emphasized their beliefs and forced it upon the weaker.. It was a simple game..

While I was going through the history of Genghis Khan on Wikipedia, I saw how he increased his empire! During his days, there were different small tribes fighting amongst each other.. What he did was, he took those tribes in, one-by-one. And thus increased his empire.. He educated them, gave them medical facilities, etc.. So basically any ruler he fought or educated, etc. and eventually brought smaller communities and formed a bigger community..

Making and breaking of empires continued as the population grew and their were more people who could think and understand better than others. These people became Leaders for the others. And the more influential the leader, the more Godly he was thought to be! And more the people followed him blindly..

Some novel concepts got corrupted too.. Religion became a basis of war! Whose stories were better? It was corrupted and twisted according to the whims of the Leaders!

Also caste system saw a downfall.. People were assigned to caste by skill, had started being assigned by birth! Diseases that were predominant in Shudras because of the work they did, were designated untouchables! And a corrupt hierarchy was made accordingly!

Anyhow the population grew bigger and more communities mixed.. More mixing of beliefs.. Compatible ones got along better, while non compatible ones fought amongst each other.. WARS happened to prove who was stronger and who was powerful to rule the WORLD! With growing communities and mixing beliefs, the wars differed in their scale- from regional to world wars..

Eventually communities divided the Earth into their regions to keep.. Called them their countries, state, cities, etc.

THAT was the world THEN..

What is the World NOW?

It's different! Humans today have better understanding of things that happen around them. Science brought about the major difference in man's way of understanding of the world around them.. Things like Social networking and stuff has bridged all gaps between communities.. We now know, there's nothing to prove who's stronger and who's weaker.. Cultures and societies have started mixing like never before..

Once novel ideas like Religion and Caste are obsolete now!

The only benefit of religion is spiritual solace. It has nothing to do with what happens around us.

Caste system has no basis whatsoever.. Now as doctors we know why Shudras acquired diseases that people of other castes didn't. So, if a Brahmin was to do a Shudras' work, he'd acquire the same diseases! So are Brahmins untouchables?

We also know that the Earth is not divided into Countries and States naturally. These are artificially made by men, in times that are irrelevant now.. Human understanding has evolved to a great extent now.

So what should the World Be?

No boundaries, no divisions. All of Homo sapiens living in harmony with rest of the Natural World. Wake up people, we have come a long way from Stone Age! We don't need religion, to teach us what's right and what's wrong. We don't need caste system to tell us who's gonna or destined to do what.. We don't need corrupt Leaders to manipulate stories to their whims and make us act in their favors. We need good education to UNDERSTAND how things happen around us.. EVOLVE! I donno if it's time for REVOLUTION, but it's definitely time for EVOLUTION!

Peace n Harmony!

Kiss Me Again...

Tender sweetness so soft and delicate, wish i could taste 'em again... Kiss me again...

Her silky hands around my neck, her soft lips more intoxicating than the most exotic of wines.. She smells of sweetness that i can't define... Kiss me again...

Underneath the pale moon, waltzing to a melodious tune, our bodies embraced in passionate love, i feel her warm sweet breath on me... Kiss me again...

Our colourless eyes lost within their depths... Our hearts beneath our breasts goin' wild.. We dance through the night... Kiss me again...

Standing in the rain with her, her wet lips parted longing for me.. I make a move, she lets me in.. Kiss me again...

Lyin' on the sand, cool breeze caressin' our skin.. She feels shy, underneath the velvety sky.. We feel the love in the air.. Kiss me again....

Cold sweat runs down my spine as she holds me close to her again.. A feeling of lust.. Soft and tender.. I close my eyes intoxicated by her smell.. Overpowered, i lay bare to her gentle caress.. She kissed me again....

You and My Love For You

When I look up at the sky
I see you staring at me
Every time I close my eyes
I can feel you within me
Never knew I loved you so much
Never knew what you meant to me
But now I don't want to lose you
Honey just listen to me
Now I’m down on my knees...


When I look into the mirror
What I see is only you
Every time I’m in dolor
Your smile comes to rescue
Never have...

Longingness

Where are those moments
When we used to chat for hours on end
Where are those times
When we used to pretend
Now the pretensions gone
This love so deep
Every night I wake
And I cannot sleep
“I love you, sweetheart!”
Is what I can say
Still longing for your touch
Every night and day
Though I’m so far away
Distant from you
My heart still beats
Only for you….

Margareta, My Girl

When I open my eyes
Early in the morning
I look at Margareta
She's ready with my coffee
I just can't take my eyes off her
As she starts to unclothe
And I feel the hot coffee on my lap
As she shuts the bathroom door


Oh, oh Margareta
Margareta, my girl
I love her more than anything
Anybody in the world
Oh, oh Margareta
She is more beautiful than any pearl
She's my Margareta
Margareta, my girl


There are days when we go
Take a promenade
You should see the number of heads that turn
And exclaim, "Oh my God!"
But we move downtown carelessly
As if nothing that we heard
The people with their hanging tongues look on
As we both whistle with the birds


Oh, oh Margareta
Margareta, my girl
I love her more than anything
Anybody in the world
Oh, oh Margareta
She is more beautiful than any pearl
She's my Margareta
Margareta, my girl


With half of the world jealous of me
Since Margareta is my wife
Talk of making love
She's the best I've ever seen in my life
Hey Margareta
I just can't live without her
I'll be so lost and empty
Without Margareta, my girl


Oh, oh Margareta
Margareta, my girl
I love her more than anything
Anybody in the world
Oh, oh Margareta
She is more beautiful than any pearl
She's my Margareta
Margareta, my girl

Baby, Come Back to Me

Looking outside the window
I see the multitude walking down the streets
I’m searching for a face in that crowd
But I’m just living in the fantasy


Oh baby now won’t you come back to me
I’m searching for you day and night
Without you my existence is empty
Hey, now I want you by my side
Oh girl, now I want to say sorry
Can’t we ever stop this fight
I know I’d done a mistake
Now I wanna set it right
And sweetheart I truly love you
I love you from the bottom of my heart


I’m walking through the promenade
Looking at the couples enjoying themselves
But I’m still searching for your face
And now I feel so lost and helpless


Oh baby now won’t you come back to me
I’m searching for you day and night
Without you my existence is empty
Hey, now I want you by my side
Oh girl, now I want to say sorry
Can’t we ever stop this fight
I know I’d done a mistake
Now I wanna set it right
And sweetheart I truly love you
I love you from the bottom of my heart


Now as days go by
I can feel your absence within me
So baby come back to me
Without you I won’t be alive


Oh baby now won’t you come back to me
I’m searching for you day and night
Without you my existence is empty
Hey, now I want you by my side
Oh girl, now I want to say sorry
Can’t we ever stop this fight
I know I’d done a mistake
Now I wanna set it right
And sweetheart I truly love you
I love you from the bottom of my heart

August Rain

Sitting on a park bench
With you by my side
It's a cozy August afternoon
And the rain clouds in the sky


Now I can't see you honey crying so hard
And the august rain is asking for a smile from your heart


August rain
Don't cry over what's been the past
August rain
The rain has come to heal your broken heart
August rain
He's showering His blessings on you
August rain
Your long awaited dreams will come true
August rain, in this august rain


Sweet music playing softly
Absorbing all our pains
While the breeze sprays droplets of water on our face
From the falling rain


Now I can't see you honey crying so hard
And the august rain is asking for a smile from your heart


August rain
Don't cry over what's been the past
August rain
The rain has come to heal your broken heart
August rain
He's showering His blessings on you
August rain
Your long awaited dreams will come true
August rain, in this august rain


As the sun melts the clouds into the August rain
I'll be there to wash your tears again and again


August rain
Don't cry over what's been the past
August rain
The rain has come to heal your broken heart
August rain
He's showering His blessings on you
August rain
Your long awaited dreams will come true
August rain, in this august rain

An August Afternoon

I woke up late today. the weather is awesome.. it's hypnotic. windy and rainy. and as i start studying alone in my room, i think of starting the internet.. and the first site i open is Facebook.

Facebook has changed lives. the world now is different now than it was few years before. internet started the revolution of connecting people far away. facebook has become the most used social networking site on the web today. thanks to facebook i got in touch with so many of my old friends and also made some nice new ones..:)

and then i thought of posting something on my blog.. i don't get much time for blogs. but the concept interests me. so this is my first web log.

i have wikipedia open that has become the most commonly used encyclopedia. it helps me in my studies

i have started makin notes on my laptop using Microsoft OneNote.
