Love

What do you do when you love someone with all your heart, your body, mind and soul. You just want to stand the tallest tower and shout and profess your love for them. You don't care how embarassing it may seem or how foolish you may look...you just want people to know your love. You just want to hold them close to you, for every single second that you are them. You want to look at them and kiss them as if its the last time you will ever be with them. You want to love them like no one has ever love them before. Your love for them is so great, deep, immense that you are wiling to take a leap of faith for them. Even though at time you may want to tear the hair off your head and sometime you may question if the whole things is worth or may even cry because you don't feel your being getting what you deserve...but yet your love overcomes all these barrier and goes stronger. This love is not about whose right and whose wrong, whose strong and whose weak, this love is about overcoming obstacles and solving problems, not hiding weaknesses, but making a better person of each other.

This love is so beautiful that even though this love is not acceptable in the eye of society only you can do is to continue to love this person till the very last breath of your life.

The End of Another Year

In another two days we would once again be saying goodbye to yet another year and would be welcoming a new one. With the old year we just want to forget all the pain and sorrows and start the new one with the hope that it will be better than the old one. But what are doing to ensure that this new year is not same like the old???? We squarely blamed the politicians and the police personnel for lack of proper security for the attacks on Mumbai. We blamed them for not taking any responsibilities and called for heads to start rolling. But in all this what did we do??? We have the biggest hands in this whole thing. It is we people who have elected these politician to govern us or have chosen not toe exercise our democratic right to vote. So if we have selected why do we complain about their skills. It is we who have corrupted the police with bribes and underhand tactics to get our work done. So now that they used to it, they can be bribed even by terrorist organization. So why do we complain, after all it is we who have encouraged them. We tens and thousand of celebs who have spoken about these attacks, because this time it hit them the most. What were these people doing during the other bomb blast??? Why do they come on the media with all their fakeness and crocodile tears???

The only solutions to this problem and for a better new year is if we improve ourselves. If we try to exercise our democratic rights in the way it was meant to...in the right spirit. And yes be vigilant and good. Only then we can ensure a safe and fruitful new year.

Do We Celebrate the Season????

It Christmas time around the corner and the year will end soon. However it doesn't feel Christmassy at all :(. Keeping in mind the recent acts on Mumbai, religious leaders of the Muslim community asked that Bakri Eid be celebrated on a low key as a mark of respect for those who lost their lives in the attacks, Following this example the Archbishop has called upon the Christian community to do the same with Christmas.

The one thing that I am trying to understand is how will this low key celebration or not celebrating any of your festival at all whether it be Christmas, Ramadan, New Year, Diwali) help. Right now the city is in the state of shock and depression and there is gloom everywhere, along with fear and tension. What we need is something to overcome this gloom and lift us up from the depression. A low key celebration just wouldn't do the truck at all. It would actually do the opposite....remind us why the gloom, fear and tension is prevalent in the air.

As for me I know that I would go ahead and celebrate the festival with all my heart. Would even go out my way to help others get into the festival mood. We have mourned for and saluted the dead now we need to care about the living and bring back the color and joys and happiness in live.

I will be celebrating the season..will you???

Sermons

Today attended Mass where the priest gave a sermon how the morality of society has been gradually being eroded away and how people are loosing themselves to sin. He used a couple pf examples - one obviously the recent attack on Mumbai, the morality of cinema and lastly the institution of marriage.

The so called terrorist captured in the attack has shown no remorse for what he has done or has been part of, and lack of awareness of his siness formed a part of a the sermon. According to my view people like Kasab will never claim what they have done is wrong, they would never view it as a sin. The truth being they have been preached to moulded to understand the fact that what they are doing is right and something what their so called God and religion wants them to. For such people they will never see what they have done as a sin.

The second point that the priest used was vulgarity and no morales in movies and soap. This actually started sounding like some old foggie refusing to accept the changing times. YEs i do agree that at time these do push the boundaries of morality...but don't we have our own sense of judgement to say what is right and what is wrong. The last thing we need is yet another morale policeman or a person telling us what to do.

Lastly he spoke about how same sex marriage is erroding the instution of marriage. This is something I totally disagree on. Marriage is a scared union between two people who are deeply in love with each other and want to be together for the rest of their lives. Hoewever now days marriages have come in with a warranty period. There are cheatings and break ups and seperations and divorces. All this could be due to the fact that people cannot stay in love or with a person too long...or that people are jumping into matrimony without giving time to things to develop before getting into. These are some of the reason for the scatity of the marriage being eroded and not same sex marriage. The Church may not recognised the union between two people if the same sex...but this doesn't mean that their union in unholy or different from a hetrosexual union. The only difference here being is that the two person are of the same gender. I don't see anything sinful in this. The two people love each other therefore tjhey decided to cement thir bond legally.

Anyway this was my view about the sermon.

The Year End

... and so we edge slowly closer to the end of another year. A year that promised so much and delivered a mixture of pain and sorrow and happiness and love. We come to the end of the year in the shadow of terrorism and mourning and sorrow. Burning spirits of the season have been dampened by the violent acts of humanity. What would have been time when people made money has become the time of sorrows and mourning.

But then lets look at the season to help bring love, peace and joy to bring brightness to the darkest of places. We can use this year a promise that we would never cower to forces of people who want to see us cower and suffer. Let stand up against injustice and corruptions and terrorism and let them get the better of us. vow to make the new year a better and safer year. Vow to participate in democracy honestly and make sure the right person is in the right place and not tolerate or encourage corruption.

Let's all wish for a better 2009.
