God, bless me with beauty................

What is beauty? Is the question that I always face.Since my childhood I saw people saying "you look really pretty" and some point at my defects.I always measured my beauty based on the compliments and comments that I get from people.So naturally, my position on the ' beauty meter' often fluctuated.A frame of reference to enhance my beauty was heroins in movies.Given my ability to imitate others, I always tried to imitate heroins and I could do that.Thanks to my mom for not allowing me to use any cosmetics at that young age,or else I would have ended up by spoiling my skin.
I felt really happy for my beauty when someone praises it,and of course sad when someone comments .The latter having more impact on me.This screwed up my business.Then it happened to me to know about these people:

They transformed my way of looking at things.The very meaning of beauty got redefined. I remembered my mom telling me that" Beauty is not all about looks ,one day that will perish.But the beauty of heart is immortal".I found some peace in my heart. From then I stopped bothering about others comments and compliments.I started liking myself,I appreciated my maturity.
Here I am not advocating to be dumb without enhancing looks.Looks are necessary but they are not everything.Life and Beauty have bigger meaning.Let not your defects stand as obstacles in your "great journey of life".Ponder on it!!!!

Gandhi, Non-cooperation and Bhagavat Geetha

Indian independence movement is one of the earliest peaceful movements against the British rule. It opened doors for Non-violent protests against oppressors across the world. Gandhiji is credited for this idea. Indian freedom struggle is mainly classified into three phases: Moderate phase - prayer, petition, protest. Extremist phase - violent revolt. Gandhian phase - Peaceful non-co-operation. What made Gandhian phase unique? The moderate leaders of freedom struggle, though mostly viewed as unsuccessful, were responsible for forming the counter arguments to " white man's burden" theory of the British. They prepared ground, propounded theories for intellectual understanding of the British exploitation of India. The extremists, mostly young leaders, believed in complete freedom, resorted to violent means to overthrow the British . However, there was no significant harm done to the British. It is at this juncture that Gandhian philosophy came handy. Ga...

A love story or a breakup story?

Some stories are so strange. Neither a common man nor can an expert judge those stories easily. This is one such story for me. Planned to be a plain one without twists and turns. But, most of the times, you plan something and life plans something else for you. The story A girl and a boy entered a relationship without exchanging roses or without saying I LOVE YOU. They chat occasionally and most of the time it was the bliss, of a young love they got. It was not the person but the sense of love that gave happiness to both of them. On those occasional chatting, all they do is make promises and see the voice and the presence of the other. That was enough, and that gave happiness. Days passed, and only days passed. The feeling of love and the desire to live together was getting strong in the girl. She is a girl of dreams and ambitions. Her ability to imagine things overshadowed her understanding of reality. She loved the boy truly, sincerely, not the real one but the one in her i...
