MOONLIT JULY.....

Hi All,
This story is going to be succinct and precise. Through this story I would like to point out a peculiar series of events that transpired in this month of July 2009. Call it a mere coincidence or something else. This month of July 2009 can be easily be called one of the most eventful of all Julies (read as the plural form of July) we have ever had since the birth of Julius Caesar, after whom of course the month was named July.
It all began on with a just week before July. The date was 25th June when the most famous “moonwalker” who has ever walked on earth left the world. The man who immortalized the “moonwalk” was aptly given the honor of a crater on moon named after him. I am sure I need not mention his name here because even in the smallest village in our country where electricity has not penetrated this man did. I still can recall people telling a dancing child “Are! Jyada Michael Jackson banane ki jaroorat nahi hai “
The second series of events concerning the iridescent moon was that this 20th July marked the 40th years since the statement “a small step by a man, a giant leap by mankind” was mouthed by Neil Armstrong when he along with Buzz Aldrin put their feet on moon surface, a first by any human. Since then there has been a few more visits to the moon but we are still in awe with the heavenly body, whose origin is still debated. Theologically may be it was a way God wished to lure humans towards space exploration.
Third and the last event was another epochal event for the human kind because on 22nd July 2009 we witnessed a special Solar Eclipse. The fact that the moon was at its perigee caused the eclipse to be more than a 6 minute long episode. This will again happen more than a century hence from now. Pessimistically speaking I am not sure what the world will hold in those days. May be we might be living on the moon so some of us might not see a solar eclipse but rather an Earth Eclipse.
So here we are an exciting July has nearly passed by us. There are still a few days left and I hope no other excitement is left for us to witness. All said and done this really seems to be a correlation between this July and our moon. Anyways I am leaving up to the readers to decide on their own. By the way this July also marked the 25th (a quarter century) Birth Anniversary of yours truly, may be a small coincidence against the once mentioned before.
Thanks and take care!!!

Destiny.....

Bonjour...
How u doin ..?
I felt like I should quickly turn my thought into some bytes so that it remains on the web forever I guess. So here I am trying my level best to get my thoughts across and the things that I am going to talk about are pervasive in nature to such an extent that ever single soul reading this might find a leaf here and there.
So here I go. Today I am discussing “Destiny”. People call it in different ways some call it fate some call it luck and for some it is Destiny. I think the last one is most perfect of them as it is derived from word destination. And as we all know “life is a journey” and what we are all seeking is a destination to rest our soul.
I had watched a movie some time back named Forrest Gump starring Tom Hanks. It was a wonderful movie with some marvelous performance by Tom Hanks but the thing that struck me most was the idea of Destiny discussed in it.
It says there are two kind people in the world one who believes that he should leave every thing on his destiny and the other who think that they need to make their own destiny. I am not going to discuss which one is wrong and which one correct because according to me both of them equally correct and equally wrong.
The point to cogent here is that which one should we choose because at times Life throws upon us certain circumstances wherein we are supposed to make decision and some really vital ones too. So here we are at a junction where our path diverges into two. So which one should we choose? Let us say we chose path “A” instead of “B”. There might be some logic involved in the selection. But the problem comes now suppose while travelling on the chosen path we encounter some impediments not to our liking, which we actually did not foresee. So here is the predicament “DID WE MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION”. In other words did we choose the right path …did we choose the right DESTINY for ourselves?
Here is the conundrum. We were given a choice to make our own choice but if we somehow end up choosing the wrong path our life goes haywire. Our minds are split in two halves one of them saying
“Was I destined to be here?” and the second one saying “did I choose a wrong destiny?”. Both the points are disturbing to say the least. So where should we go?... what should we do? Candidly speaking I do not have the answers to these intriguing questions. Do you?
For the moment “ENJOY THE JOURNEY”...

Bye

Blogging...what's this?

Hi pals,

This writing of mine again comes after a long break, reasons are many but none too obvious than my laziness to write. I kept finding excuses, some valid and some not, of not to write.
Nevertheless I am back hopefully with a bang. Let’s get to the point straightway. Today I had some topic in my mind before I logged in to my blog but all of a something struck my mind and that is what the title says “Why do we blog”. This question is pretty obvious for those who wish to start writing a blog.
So let me begin with some history. So where this word does actually came from? Simple answer is the word “blog” is derived from another word “WEBLOG”. A name suggested by Jorn Barger. As the name suggests it mean logging something on Web. Soon people starting logging in some information on the web just to make sure it stays forever and also to communicate. Thus we can see “WEBLOG” or “Internet Diary” as some people used to call it became a natural substitute of Diary Entries. Somebody rightly used weblog as a “WE BLOG”. Soon the word “Blog” became a noun and a verb and what not. Moving on the idea spread like a jungle fire and aptly the innovation leader “Google Inc” made a great move by purchasing a website Blogger.com thus making it easier for people with normal gmail account to start writing blog. There are many other important aspects of blog but what those are not the intent of this very blog.
What I wanted to discuss here is how and why did this craze of writing caught up with the advent of the new millennium. The first and foremost reason I find is that a blog has given humankind what it had been longing for since long and that is “ right of unbridled expression of thoughts”. Although Democracy as a form of government is wide prevalent in the world but still there are many nations which are not democratic in true sense. Thus a blog becomes the best way to vent out their ideas.
Writing as a form of expression has a long history. It is actually so long back that it is still not quite evident that what form of communication did human beings learn first “Was it writing of speaking” . There are evidences in support of both of these forms of communication. Whatever be the correct answer to this question one thing pretty clear that writing has a long history and has played an extraordinary crucial rule in the development of the man,
Thus taking in account the above two factors it comes quite evident that how much a writing exercise will be liked by most of us. There are other very trivial factors at play but I personally find these two inherently strong factors to sufficient explain the reason behind the plethora of blog we see now, some really useful some not quite. But nonetheless, this “blog inundation” has truly been a new transition phase in the world history and I guess this is should go along way in shaping our world future.
