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...

Places to see In NewYork City

NewYork, NY – the financial capital of North America. Someone rightly said “New York is so amazing that they named it twice ;-)”. What all you can experience will depend on how many days you spend in the city. NY is a bouquet of different flowers that caters every visitor in its own way. From beaches to museums, from buildings to Monuments – You get everything you wish to see. Must See Places:   Ground Zero:  Who doesn’t remember 9/11 – the day that shocked the whole of humanity. No matter where you stay during your visit to the city, Ground Zero should be the first one in your list of  Places to visit.   Freedom Tower:  A stunning view of one of the tallest buildings in the world would not let you leave the place.  WorldOne  or the  Freedom Tower  is said to be the tallest building in the country. The restaurant on the 101st floor gives an amazing view of the NewYork skyline. You must visit the restaurant if you want to experienc...

One Sip At A Time...

After multiple unsuccessful attempts, I gave up. Woke up from my bed and went straight to the kitchen. Made a "Kadak" cup of tea and while enjoying it One Sip At a Time, I thought of writing this blog. In the winters of 2007, I was in Kolkata. As fresh IT graduates - completely unaware of the global meltdown which was heading our way - a friend of mine and I were trying our luck with IT firms. Being from the middle class, we didn't have much to spend. So we decided to share a small hotel/lodge in Bada Bazar area of the city. The city is usually warmer than the rest of India. The temperature rarely drops below 18-15 degrees. Hence we used to get up quite early so we can get ready and go for "Job Hunting" in the Salt Lake City - the IT park of Kolkata. Right beside our lodge there was the huge wholesale market - probably the biggest in India (Or Eastern India to be more precise). Right at the corner there was a Chai Walah (Tea Seller) who had employed over 20 peo...
