A bug's life!


This picture was clicked by me few months ago outside my balcony. This multicolored bug was spotted resting on the grill. Seemed as if it was wondering how on earth did it ever reach there! I just couldn't stop myself from capturing this unique bug i found. I don't own any SLR, but sure a simple digital camera does the needful.
As i captured the bug into my lens, the bug stared at me and spoke, "Hey dude! Watching a bug for the first time? Listen, i don't have much time. I can fly away any moment. The only belief that makes me sit here still is that i see you as a harmless guy, so i am sure you won't harm me. That's the reason i let you click a picture of me. But before i flee from here, i would like to say that you humans would never understand what a bug's life is. It's much more wonderful and simpler than you humans could ever dare to imagine. What fascinates me more is you people have progressed technologically but it's a shame to say that humans have shred their humanity and are being insane towards our own nature which was earlier shared by all of us equally. You guys think you rule this world? Quite to the surprise, you have even achieved this feat with the power of technology. But take my words, it won't last long. Not very long! The nature will show it's wrath upon you. And the consequences have to be faced by not humans alone, but all other innocent creatures. What you humans thinks is yours, was of somebody else earlier and will be of some other in the future. Don't be content with the fake happiness considering all of it as yours. Learn to share as we do. Learn to live as we live. The world would then be a better place to live in. Oh! And thanks for the click. Do publish it in some magazine."
And it flew away instantly as i focused away from him, still pondering on the thoughts. The bug really explained a great deal of life within those few seconds. It was then i decided that i would pen down his words in my article when i post this photo of him. The bug's really beautiful! Ain't he?

The path towards the light


This picture was captured by me last year when i had visited one of the holiday homes at a hill station. The picture clearly demonstrates a path towards the light. We all walk various paths throughout our lives, we conquer mountains, but most of the times we miss out on our own path - our own life! No matter the time, no matter the situation, we all must occasionally give time to ourselves. It helps in giving us the inner peace. We are then able to win more complex challenges with a free mind, rather than a filled-up mind. Free your mind by giving time to yourself. Free yourself to the nature, and it's love.

The transition of the world to selfishness

God created us for free, and we created ourselves as selfish! Today, whatever we do, whatever we accomplish and whatever we achieve has all got our own selfish motives behind it. We have long lost humanity. The devil of selfish desires rules over us. We wear "Being human" t-shirts, but we don't act like humans anymore.
Today, after completing most of my studies, i came to a conclusion that there is no dearth of jobs in this world. The word "recession" is being openly used by companies to utilize raw talent at cheap rates. The MBA's which were considered to be of prestige and value are now being compared to graduates or even high-school pass-outs for that matter. The reason for this decline in the MBA degree is simple. Government, which is wanting to earn more profits is allowing a large number of institutes to open up their courses and award MBA degrees. Due to the recent rise in the number of institutes the value and level of MBA education has been declining. The quality is lost. MBA is seen as a profit-making tool for organizations. The victims are none other than a few thousands of deserving students!
Who is to be blamed? Country? Government? Organizations? Institutes? or is it us? And the case is not just with the MBA's - it's the same with Engineers, Scientists etc. The manufacturing power of India is declining so rapidly. Most of our economy is now governed by the service sector. We only import and sell. But why not export? or Produce and sell? We have the manpower. We have the resources. We have the planning. We are self-sufficient. So where exactly do we go wrong?
We only go wrong at our thinking. We always tend to think about our profits/benefits/advantages before implementing any plan. We never focus on the long term perspective, we only focus on short term profits. We have grown mentally ill. We only depend upon technologies to give us solutions. But we forgot that technologies were invented just to assist us in our work activities. Where are our thinking hats? Why do we depend on other companies/countries to assist us in our activities?
Awaken yourself. Rise above your boundaries. See beyond your horizon. Only then you will see the world. And you can proudly talk to your death and say, "I have lived my life, now i want to enjoy this journey; you can take me any day"
