Beware of Anonymous Online Friendships...

Hiraclitas a Greek Philosopher said "World is in a state of flux". Gautama Buddha said "We are in a world of Temperance, for, nothing is permanent". Besides, Hinduism has a notion "The power of Maya/illusion." 

Today's Enadu (Telugu News Paper) covered an Issue of a young girl named Alicia a thirteen years old who spends lot of time surfing Internet. She spends time in the Social Networks chatting an unknown friend since 2003. Once he called her out and she found him fat like pig and tried to escape from him. But he caught her and took her to an unknown place, bounded her in chains and molested her for two months. He uploaded the  videos in the internet. She did not listen to her parents neither to her friends...but was an internet freak. The result of her addictions and irrationality was that she ended her life miserably. Today she is in her thirties under parents observation. What went wrong with her?????

1. Listen to Parents
2. Report to Parents about unanimous friendships
3. Do not engage in such illicit and inauthentic relationships
4. Spent time for learning and growing that use internet for entertainment lavishly
5. Parents must not provide children with all that they want than they need. 

if not things will soon be messed up even before we could realize... 

Today we are witness of all those viewpoints of the past concerning their beliefs of the time. Sadly, it is true indeed of the current times. Today anything and everything is permissible provide you are not caught. What a situation to thing. Just to mention, World of Media where Telecom Companies compete to provide Fastest Internet, Fastest Downloading, Fast Food, Things in seconds...etc.

How about your online friendships and relationships in the social networks....

bewared of fake, anonymous and inauthentic friendships

A Poor Teacher....

Image
We all know a famous saying "A good teacher teaches. A better teacher exhorts and the best teacher inspires." Fortunate if you have such teachers who walk into your student life. For sure they teach, encourage and inspire you to become better and the best. Unfortunate if you have poor and pathetic teachers who neither teach nor prepare for the class. Such teachers do come into our student life who paradoxically inspire by their despair. Strange but true. But to reach to this aptitude one requires an open mind and heart to accept the things that they cannot change but change one self instead. However, what I want to say is that today during two hours of class we experienced such poor and pathetic performance of a professor who only talked and taught nothing. Plenty of words bla bla bla....I just had a look around the class that was packed with students but then, most of them were all like as if suffocated and some constipated and still worse few were indifferent catching th

WOMAN/SHAKTI/EMPOWERMENT...!

Right at the outset, I admit that I am not a staunch feminist, yet this presumption doesn’t stop me whispering the truth of my inner voice. As someone said “say the truth and run away”, I do not mean such assumption despite the fact that I, a male, writing on such a significant phenomenon woman .           One cannot but accept the significant role of a woman in building a family or a society. Hence, we must appreciate woman’s contribution in nation building. Neither the governments, nor the civil or church laws build families. Instead, it is a woman who builds the family. If so, why there are rapes, domestic violence, and female-foeticide, divorce and unjust wages? State or religion is no exception. Hence, we must question the system, because if the system is corrupt what can we hope for? Hindu, Islam, Judeo-christian systems and the Greek, Roman, Eastern civilizations were all part of this inequality without being judgemental. Let us now get into the heart of the matter.

MEANING AS CONSTITUTIVE OF COMMUNICATION AND COMMUNION: LONERGAN

Image
Today seeking meaning in life is a common phenomenon that we all come across. Now it is sought in things, gadgets, celebrities, movies, sports, drinks, music, business and what not. Thus we have reached a state where meaning is to be found very instantly and immediately. The picture aptly depicts the attitude of today’s new generation where meaning is to be found totally out side the self and end up terribly disappointed, discouraged and disgusted. Some prominent examples can be that of Michael Jackson, Whiney Houston, Marilyn Monroe and Tiger Woods etc. What was missing in their life? What could be the reason why they failed to strike the balance between life/career and meaning? In this multimedia era finding meaning is very crucial and challenging. In this context Victor Frankel is one person who inspires me with his life; in spite of struggles he lived his life with a purpose. In this regard there are so many others like, Hellen Keller, Mother Teresa, John Paul II, Steve Jobbs
