The Spirit Of Sacrifice

Today being the Holy day of the Bakrid, I feel that its a apt time to tell something on it. People think the fest is a barbaric activity which kills animals for the feast. I would like to clarify that with the little informations i know.First a bit history. This occasion is celebrated on the day when Ibrahim sa-al-was ready to sacrifice his only son. To witness this holy sacrifice Allah has made the sacrifice of a goat, cow or a camel on this day. This is to prove that His followers are ready to sacrifice for Him. It is not a barbaric activity as it being told around. The basic rule of Islam is the man is ruler of this world. Everything in this world is created by Him is to assist the mankind. Yes its quite contradictory to all the scientific belives but cience cannot prove everything and there is a great power behind every creation and thats Him. And this sacrifice is to make man remind that he is obliged to the God. And to share it with the others and to give it to needy people. It just promotes peace, harmony and understanding unlike what "others" say about it.

Is there a mean job?

I was thinking about this one when i got an offer from netvison cybertech. If you have been wondering what that company is, its a call center. And again if you are wondering why am i asking this question, im and engineering graduate in electronics and communication. People help me out, im in a quandary. Throughout my engineering life, I have always strived to be a techi. I was proud in being a techie. Now i have got a job, which doesnt belong to me. Well...why did i take it in the first place. It was the best offer my college could give to me at this point of time (no kidding guys!). Plus i tell why i chose ECE. It was in the year 2001...there was this software bust and ppl were beginning to lose their jobs. So I wanted o be secure and earn big bucks. Now i will begetting bucks...may not be big. They are offering me 16500+3000 rupees per month. Well, if u ask me to find a job better than that initial offer, i must admit it is hard to find. But there always will be that lingering thought why i havent chosen the technical field. The answer is...so far i havent gotr any oppurtunity. I had a couple...but screwed it up. I was chucked out of the techincal interview round at polaris software labs and i was mysteriously left out of the TVS electronics. Not much offer after that. Even now annauniversity is offering placements at CTS, TCS and wipro...but i dun have the eligibility. Im some cool 6 % short of teh cut off. Why its always at the climax that people learn. I have my own personal reasons to take that job. One simple thing is...i want to be secured. Second, i thought this oppurtunity to make some quck bucks while learning english! Am i wrong guys? But i tell u onething...i will always strive to be a techie.

Why Indian parents feel insecure about love marriage ?

When you are over 21 years old and when you love someone and when u happen to be in India...i hope you could understand this question. There have been umpteen number of incidents regarding this issue. I, being a teenager, happens to support "for". Well why is that? In my opinion parents come first, yeah accepted. They have taken care right from the kid, yeah accepted. They care a lot about us, yeah accepted. They know whats right and whats wrong for us...hmm...here where the problem arises. They see whats right and wrong in thier point of view. When they were teenagers...well majority of them would have experienced these incidents either personally or their friends might have. O.K...thats not a problem. When we take India into consideration, the whole picture of family is different. Here kids live with their parents, if situation permits, life long. This is unlike western countries where kids are told to make their own life some years after adolescence, atleast in majority of the families. Coming to the point, why the parents feel insecure. First, they see the consequences around them all the time. Teen age pregnencies, casual sex, partying stuffs, deviating from education et al. Doesnt a person who is matured at brain can't take his own decisions? The person in this context refers to both the father and the child. Looking from a parent point of view, yes what he is doing is perfectly correct. Well which parent will ill-do to this child? He has taken care of his child right from the birth. He has taken all the kid's decisions, can't he take this? Some might argue he is the best person to take the decision because he is the only person who is really concerned. Forget friends man! this is blood!! Well...really ask the person who loves. What would he say? They will say only one thing..."if you have ever loved really, trully, you will know how i feel"...i guess that will wound up.

why does love hurt

I have always wondered about this phenomenon which cannot be explained by neither physics nor chemistry. Also i'm sure that the logic king Aristotle or mathematics genius Gauss can explain this. But this is one of the most prevailing symptom in the world. Well, I myslef not an expert in this could offer any detailed explanation. But i would like to express my opinion...i think

feeling

would be a better word to use. Its known that when we miss someone dearly we feel bad. Now why do we feel bad? because we miss them. But is this feeling same towards all the people we know? There are some

special person(s)

for whom we rserve this feeling. Why does that happen. It is a human nature to be selective. We would like to have only the best tyhing possible, if we can get it. Now when we get something special which we have always wanted, we admire it, we treasure it, we take care of it and we boast about it. Now we cannot compare a thing with a person...but i belive these are the so called "basic qualifications". That thing ud have become a integral part of our life so that we expect that to be present everytime. In this scenario a business student might find fault with our process. He is sure to put the question..."where is plan B man??". Can't blame him, we dun have any plan B. The thing is it happens so unexpectedly that we never ever thought something could happen to our dear ones. And it is well known that the impact is more when we are unprepared for the situation, either happy or sorrow. Well, the problem is...we cannot be prepared. It is one of the few times where we show we are humans. Not in the literary sense though...when we miss pur dear ones...we "miss" them so much...that the place occupied by them will be hollow and it will seem that nuthing could fill that. Many are there, who like to put the next best thing in that hollow space to contend themselves, but there are few...who like to cherish that space...however big it may be ...how ever long it may be.

Culture checkmated?

Guys guys...im not a socialite as u think. But the recent episodes that has been happening around me made me to put my opinion. Me basically from India value this culture not to great extent...but i do have respect for it. But do we, i mean the teenagers really value this? I will point out the best example that has been on round. The delhi public school sex scandal, where two school kids having sexual act was captured and circulated. Infact i belive, almost half of the browsers in India would have got that clip. Whats happening yaar!...pornography...its okay...but this. Its too bad really! What has happened to the ethics. The million dollar question is, who the heck is responsible for this? The parents or the kids? If you ask me...i say its us. I have seen it loads of times. We Indians have this herd mentality where if someone does something,we do the same. Teenagers unable to distingush between fashion and fantasy get entangled with the so called "cool" stuff. That is why smoke, drugs, casual sex prevails vastly among the youth. Cool money easily made nowadays are spent on these luxury items. Millions way to connect...what more they want. But i say onething, teenagers like us wont like to be adviced. And parents thinkng that they are giving freedom to their kids doesnt keep track of them. It just takes one bad move from the youth to get a bad habit. I have seen it. It happens around me all the time. And it will keep on happenning. The incident i have given above is just a drop in the ocean. Unless otherwise people become responsible they wont realise the impact. Just imagine fellows, what will happen to the generation, when kids like the one i described get old and have kids of their own...would they learn from their mistakes...r will it just get worser!? Well bars, pubs and discoes...its okay...in my opinion coz in this fast moving world one doesnt get time to relax. But "having fun" gets misinterpreted in those places. We have one very bad habit. We seldom learn from our mistakes. It takes a real long time to realise what we have done and where it is going to take us. To cut the long story short, youth should get more responsible and be in control of what they do. And one more thing dudes and dudettes, dun interpret democracy in ur own way.

A date with tsunami.

Hi friends. I promised u ppl that i ud give my experience on the deadly sunday. I was awaken from my sleep by some sounds. I was like.."man these ppl wont let me sleep even on sunday". I dunno what the reason was. Then my brother came and told.."riaz riaz...sea water is coming to the main road da"...i was like.."yeah yeah"..but i happend to be true. First i thought the ppl was just making fuss of nunthing. So i started for my simxat test to be given. That was in stella maris college. So i had to head up the opposite way from the beach. All i saw was ppl running in and running out. I was even wondered when the news quickly spread to stella maris college. The exam was over by 12:30 pm and i was heading home. Only when i switched on the news channel i came to know the full scope of the diaster. Total Asia! Man! the impact was huge. The news was coming from all over the asia. 2000 dead in tamilnadu...atkeast 5000 from srilanka..atleast 700 fom thailand...the figures kept on increasing for every update. Without the knowledge of my parents i went to the beack. U ppl wont belive it but i live just 4 kms from the shore. The reason why chennai was saved is that the barriers along the coast. The roads, grills and al that stuff. The beach was a picture of mayhem. My beautiful marina...washed away! The once beautiful scenario was in mayhem now. And i know from that time on, it ud take a long time to heal...avery long time.
