We are the proud owners of many prestigious possessions in this world. It is like we become an owner of a very big company or the  president of a big country in one of our dreams. Not even a hair of ours can be said as our own. Today we   maintain it the best possible way and keep it as our prestigious symbol. Tomorrow when we go to the hair salon it will be cut and removed and people will walk over it. That is the case with our own body. Then think about the gold, the rupee note, the large garden and mansion we have. When we read a well written novel, we also live in a big house, travel in a posh car and eat good food. When we  finish the book, we return to ourselves without house, car and food. Our life is also like this. During our school days, the teacher sometimes ask us to go and play for a while and come   when the handbell sounds. During that playing time we may sometimes hurt others, love and say good words to some others. Some of us go...

Politics is only to be used as a pointer towards the governance of a country or a region by a group of people. It is supposed to be a socioeconomic ideology presented to the people. The group who holds this ideology becomes a political party. This ideology is to be used for the betterment of the people as a whole. Under no circumstances the concerned party can be deviated from this ideology. While what we say here are the basic concept of politics, what have relevance in our country are something different. As per the latest publication of Election Commission of India dated 23rd September 2021 the total number of parties registered in India was 2850 with 8 national parties, 54 state parties and 2797 unrecognised parties.

It may find incomprehensible and look strange, but is the truth. God may give us at the same measure at which we give others in the same situation. For instance, one has to construct a house for him. He has only little money with him. He prays the Supreme One for the remaining sum. The prayer has become routine for him. One day a poor man came to him. He told our man that he lost his small house in the recent flood and cyclone. His wife and children are in great trouble. Now, our man has few options to deal with the situation. He can give the whole money available with him to the poor man. Other option is to give half of what he has. The third option is to give little from what he has. The last is to turn the man away without giving anything. Let us find that God too have similar options with Him when we pray. Which option is to be chosen by Him is determined by the same option we choose in similar situations. If we look back our past thoroughly we can find many matching si...

Internationally poverty line is marked at two ranges, $10 and $5.50 a day. If this becomes the benchmark, many more Indians may fall under below poverty line. According to Oxfam, it takes 941 years for a minimum wage earned worker to reach the level of a well paid executive of a garment company in India. Now it is the people of India to determine their targets of growth. Do we want to eat fairly good food three times in a day? Do we want to cont...
