Peace, at any cost, is Supreme !!!

Everyone was shocked when Sri Krishna proposed, they should send a Shanti Doot (Peace Messenger) to Hastinapur, then then capital of Kuru Dynasty. The Rathis and MahaRathis present in the Raj Sabha stood up against the idea and rejected the proposal outright. One of them was Bhima who had pledged to Kill Duryodhana and drink blood of Dushashana - the two Kuru Rajkumars who insulted/attempted to disrobe Draupadi in the broad day light, in front of hundreds of Men. He kind of yelled at Sri Krishna and asked why is he going so soft on this matter and proposing a Peace Talk or a Shanti Varta. He asked, what will happen to the Pledge he has taken if they initiate the Shanti Varta and the war never happens.

Shri Krisha stood firm with his proposal and said :

"Peace, at any cost, is Supreme".

Most of us do not follow what Krishna's teachings are, instead we make our own decisions contrary to what Krishna would have done in the same situation. We need Sri Krishna but, in the neighborhood, and not in our own house. Certainly not in our consciousness. We will not go soft a little bit to save on a business, job or Relationship. We won't even try, like Krishna tried. We will let orher's actions control the complete us and act. We will let outside forces dictate what our next move will be. We won't let the "good" in us decide our moves and let the "bad" take the lead. Shri Krishna, the Good in You, will never do so.

Problem is, we Worship the God in him but not follow the path he suggests. That exactly what the Kauravas did. One must follow what "God taught us" in the Bhagvat Geeta instead of just following "The God" and claiming to be a Hindu....

Life of a Call Center Employee

Alarm at 2:30 AM woke me up. Went to brush my teeth and grabbed a cup of tea. 10 minutes later, the cab driver gave a miss call. By 3:00 AM I was on my way to the office. The Australian shift (Or the Graveyard shift) pissed me off a lot. Used to get dressed and then sleep so I could wake up and board the cab that early in the morning. Most " Call Center Employees " would have gone through the trauma called Graveyard shift at least once in their career. This is a tale of one of them - "I". Most of you probably know how good we are (people from Bihar/Jharkhand/UP) in spoken English. Not because we never learnt but because we never practiced in the real life. For us, English was an optional subject and clearing it in the exam was not even mandatory. From that kind of environment to an International BPO - as we call it - was a tough journey. Couldn't clear the first attempt of voice and accent training in 2007 as the Mother Tongue Influence caught me there. I am s...

Howrah Bridge

In the heart of Kolkata, where the river flows, Stands an icon of marvel, where time surely slows. A majestic structure, a true work of art, The Howrah Bridge, a symbol etched in every heart. Spanning the mighty Ganges with grace and might, A gateway of dreams, a beacon in the night. Forged from iron and steel, a grand sight to behold, It connects two worlds, stories waiting to be told. Oh, Howrah Bridge, you're a silent witness, To tales of love and loss, joy and tenderness. On your ancient beams, memories are engraved, Whispered secrets, promises, never to be waived. As the sun sets, painting the sky in golden hue, Your shimmering lights dance, creating a magical view. A silhouette against the twilight, you proudly stand, Guarding the city, a sentinel of the land. Through monsoon rains and winds that fiercely blow, You remain steadfast, never faltering, a constant show. Vehicles and pedestrians, a ceaseless flow, Crossing your expanse, their dreams in tow. Beneath you...

Bhimteka - The ancient rock shelter of Bhima

Bhimbetka is a group of caves located in the Raisen District of Bhopal , India . These caves known for their rock paintings, which are estimated to be between 30,000 and 10,000 years old, are some of the oldest examples of rock art in the world. The paintings, which date back to the Mesolithic period, depict scenes from the daily life of the people who lived in the area at the time. These depict a variety of scenes, including animals, hunting, dancing, and religious ceremonies. The caves are named after Bhima , a character from the Indian epic Mahabharata , as it is believed that he took shelter in these caves during one of his journeys. These were discovered in 1957 by archaeologist Dr. Vishnu Wakankar. Since then, there have been extensive studies and these have become a popular tourist attraction. In 2003, these were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of the most striking things about the Bhimbetka rock paintings is their sheer size. Some of the pain...
