Gloomy on a bloomy day!

-
Yesterday, we went for dusshera celebrations in a ground-profoundly called dusshera maidan.
The decorations were beautiful. There were about 20 stalls spreading the glimpse of our wide culture. Art and craft, sarees , suits, games and food stalls were standing shoulder by shoulder to entertain and satisfy the customers. Standing in the full glory were the megnath, kumbhkaran and Ravana statue.
As we went before the gathering started,my lil one also enjoyed running here and there. I was also delighted to purchase and eat and see my son playing.
After some time, started a play showcasing the Ramayana-Story of Shri Ram and Sita. People started to gather in more numbers. And then started the event for which we all had gathered. An arrow left Shri Ram's bow and started towards Ravana to incise his stomach. Ravana was killed and the speaker announced "adharm pe dharm ki jeet ho k rehti h.Jai Shri Ram." And fireworks were started and filled the sky with lighting and colours (and pollution,of course) for about 15 mins. 
Some people were happy,some were startled with such beauty.some people were satisfied of value of money (as they had contributed money for this event),some were worried the pollution the 🎆 fireworks were causing.
But, my heart filled with the pain for the children who makes them for fugile wages. They toil to fill their tummies and in return throwing their minds and bodies to endless diseases. They should also  be the ones enjoying the glory and beauty of these fireworks but they spend their lives dealing with deadly and tantalizing 🎆 fireworks. I could see the tears in those red,orange and yellow lights. I could see the pain of one more child being denied his right of education. I could see the frustration of one more child seeing his family his sleeping unfed even after so much of hard work. I could see the future of our country again going to sleep without eating. I could see his eyes filled with dreams of going to 🏫 school and be a person who could eradicate this evil. I could still see the hope in his eyes before closing.
I still hope that one day would come and  every individual would  get his/her equal rights and our country would actually become a democratic country. And that day "adharm pe dharma ki sahi me jeet hogi.".
Happy Dusshera
Vandey Matram ! :)

Princess- A saga of Euphoria

-
Whenever I watch a Disney Princess Movie, my mood gets uplifted and my whole body fills with ecstasy, courage and tranquility.  There is something to them , something more than their aura,beauty and thoughtfulness. Something which makes them so popular and idiosyncratic. So, what makes them so unique? Is it luxury and status they are bestowed upon with since their birth? Is it the beauty they are gifted by Gods?  There is more which outdo their unconventional beauty and unshivering reputation. Some time back, I came across a game which in its result tells which princess you are? We feel quite merry when the outcome of the game matches with our favorite princess. The popularity of the game is the affirmation of our likeness towards the momentary sensation of a real princess. On closely observing the Disney princesses, I am assured that they all share some similarities in their character. Most important to me is that they stand for themselves even in the bleakest...

The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine. ~Nikola Tesla If you want to know the drive of passion, then this is the book for you. Mr. Nikola Tesla neither cared about his powerful foes or meek friends. He did not care about the betrayal. He did not care about the negative media marketing for his inventions. All he cared about was his passion.  The author beautifully explains the '10,000 hours' rules given by Swedish psychologist Dr. K Andrews.  A total engrossed and a practicing mind is required for the activity you want to excel in. That can only come from true love and passion for the activity . The perfect blend of opportunities and practice gives the perfect taste of success.  This book gives a measured glimpse of Tesla's life. The waves of fame and defamation could not suppress his thrill of innovation.  His fervent ways to see the world differently through his powerful imagination. Sooner or later, when a person becomes famous, he ge...

The mind tricks they play!

Some time back, I brought Horlicks for my son, and with it came a free pack of "Avengers Infinity Wars- Super Hero cards'. I and my son loved playing the cards game. The cards looked like this: (Src: https://www.reddit.com/r/marvelstudios/comments/b6ijhm/my_infinity_war_not_so_limited_edition_trading/ ) Each playing card has certain characteristics. They are (in order): Height, Intelligence, Strength, Speed, Super-Power. A number was assigned in front of each attribute on each card.  Let us take a close look at one of the cards: This card game made my lockdown life a little easier as I could keep my child engaged for about an hour in a day. Thank you,  Horlicks  for rolling out these cards as without even watching any movie my child became an Avengers fan. Although this game is fun to play with,  it has made my child believe that Thanos is unbeatable . Here is the card: This is how  mind tricks  are played on the public by successful advertisers. The method...
