Because being SKEPTICAL is not a bad thing... (क्योंकि संशयवादी होना कोई बुरी बात नहीं है...)

As a child, I had heard someone say or maybe read somewhere that 'you know what you know, you don't know what you don't know. This childhood thing has made such a home in my mind that I have lost my faith in such things as "In the end, the truth does come out" or "the lie has no feet". Everything seems suspicious to me.




1. For example... 

(I) If someone says that Potassium Cyanide is the most dangerous poison in the world and death is caused by keeping it in the mouth, then the question arises in the mind that then how did it become the most dangerous poison in the world? This became the most luxurious poison. 

(II) Somebody says that Switzerland is the most beautiful country in the world, then I would say that Switzerland is the most beautiful country in the world because their cameras and photography techniques are very advanced, otherwise, our Kashmir is also no less beautiful than anywhere, Just our boys have grabbed guns instead of cameras.



2. Because of this habit of mine, I have faced the displeasure of many people. The condition is that you may check with full confidence by saying some established truth with evidence, I will give you all the points to doubt. You check by saying that the most beautiful love letters were written between Amrita and Imroz, I must say that the most beautiful love letters may have been licked by termites or burnt by fire, but they can never be caught by any publisher. Love letters are merged in the Panchatattva. They are alive and indestructible. Or shall I say, the most beautiful love letters may have remained unsent and unknown? Is it not possible that the most beautiful love letter is a poem or is it impossible that the most beautiful love stories have survived the expression of love for whole life and we are still ignorant of them?

Why should I consider an Amrita-Imroz, Romeo-Juliet, or Laila-Majnu to be the best love couple in the world? Isn't it possible that the best lovers get buried somewhere in the sand of a desert, which their families have mutually killed in the name of 'honor killing'?


3. Although in the cost-benefit analysis I have found that this nature of mine has harmed me quite a bit, so I have two options, either I should agree to everything silently and become everyone's favorite or I should be ready for a frown on people's faces by expressing my disagreement. In such a situation, I choose the second option and why should I not. Why should I believe just by telling the gardener that I am eating the sweetest fruit of the tree? After all, why is it not possible that the sweetest fruit of the tree has already been eaten by ants and slugs or that the gardener has plucked it and eaten it and we are getting happy considering it to be the best? But that's not the only thing.




4. This Skepticism is taking over me. I wonder why should I even believe that the Guru who solved all my problems was the best. Why shouldn't I consider the best Guru, who advised me to deal with my problems myself and avoid swaying my way ahead, limiting my speed and limiting my chances of finding new paths?




5. The Great Satirist Harishankar Parsai is my favorite writer, he has a great influence on me, but after reading his biography, I refuse to consider him as the best satirist.



Born in August 1924, Parsai Ji wrote in the satirical genre for life. He died in August 1995 at the age of 71. After all, how is it possible for the best satirist to complete the age of 71?

I believe that the best satirist must have been stabbed to death in a dark alley for satire before writing a satire, and we never knew him.



6. I have always been in denial of claims made in matters of philosophy or knowledge. My reasoning is very simple. You tell me, is it really impossible that we could not know the greatest philosophy of all time just because the philosopher who preached it, after realizing his philosophy, has found it childish to express it, and with a smile on his face he has moved on by living life. Because of this, we are considering only some average type of experiences as the ultimate state of philosophy and the best philosophy?




7. Every time I think that now I should rein in my skepticism, but then some strange claim falls in my ears and I shudder. You tell me, why should I consider a woman told in the newspapers to be the most beautiful woman ever in the world? Is it a big deal that the most beautiful woman in the world is not allowed to take birth? Is it impossible that after birth she is imprisoned in some red light area and no one even knows about it?



8. I ask why polluting air and water, setting forests on fire is not one of the biggest crimes on earth? Whereas these are more dangerous acts for the entire humanity and nature than treason and terrorism.



** It is possible that I may be wrong and unreasonable to think so, but I know that all my saying and writing is a result of my artificial intelligence of thinking of a satisfied pig as a gully from a disgruntled man, whereas most of us are dreaming of becoming a satisfied pig!!!

    Words acts like weapon which can build understandings when used appropriately and can terminate many big things when used bitterly.

Because VALENTINE is also a type of VIRUS... (क्योंकि वेलेंटाइन भी एक प्रकार का वायरस ही है...)

लीजिए साहब, आ गया 14 फरवरी। पूरी दुनिया में कमाल का बवाल है इस दिन। पता नहीं कब से दुनिया में आया? कैसे आया? अलग-अलग कहानियां प्रचलित हैं और इस बारे में कोई ठोस तथ्यात्मक जानकारी भी उपलब्ध नहीं है। पर साहब, आया और ऐसा आया कि देखते ही देखते पूरी दुनिया के हर देश में बिना पासपोर्ट-वीजा के कोरोना की तरह घुस गया और करोड़ों लोगों को अपने पाश में ले लिया।  वैसे वेलेंटाइन डे और वायरस दोनों हुए तो नाम के लिहाज से एक ही राशि के और यदि बात की जाए तो गुण-दोष भी काफी कुछ समान हैं। वायरस में नाक बंद हो जाता है और वेलेंटाइन में आंख-कान बंद हो जाते हैं। आदमी को कुछ दिखता नहीं। वायरस में बुखार आता है, वेलेंटाइन में भी प्रेम का बुखार चढ़ता है कि बस उतरे ना उतरे।  वारयस से सांस की तकलीफ होती है, वेलेंटाइन में भी प्रेमी आहें भरता है, घुट-घुटकर सांस लेता है। वारयस से थकान होती है, शरीर टूटता है, वेलेंटाइन में भी आदमी बस उठना नहीं चाहता। गम और मोहब्बत के गाने सुनता है। वायरस फटाफट फैलता है, वेलेंटाइन भी जो फैला है पिछले कुछ सालों में कि रुक ही नहीं रहा। वायरस से बचाव है कि मास्क पहनो, ...

Because it is not just about a temple, it is about correcting a historical wrong...(क्योंकि यह सिर्फ एक मंदिर की बात नहीं है, यह एक ऐतिहासिक गलती को सुधारने की बात है...)

We are on the cusp of a cultural and civilizational Renaissance. 22nd of January is a date that this country is waiting with bated breath for (the Ram temple consecration). What should be our thoughts at this moment in terms of reclaiming our cultural and religious ethos seen in the life of any nation?  Let's start with a similar kind of example of Spain (where the majority follows Christianity). When the Arab armies took over Spain in the 8th Century every Cathedral they converted into mosques but when Spain regained it in the 13th century they built back everything without exception . i.e. Cordoba Mosque     Valencia Cathedral     Old Cathedral of Lleida     Visigothic Cathedral So in India, this should have been done before 1950 (from 1947 to 1950). Because abilities required to be a successful nation are not just in its resources, politics, and military but it's in the spirit of the people . If people feel defeated they're not going to do great thi...

Because ATTITUDE is the mirror of personality… (क्योंकि नज़रिया व्यक्तित्व का आईना होता है...)

Image
Often you will come across two types of people – those who make you depressed because of their clumsiness or irritability and  those who win your heart with their liveliness and generosity . Needless to say that we all want to see ourselves included in the second category.  The hallmark of irritable people is that they are always complaining about something or the other. If someone cooks and feeds them with love, then they start counting the shortcomings in that food too. In fact, he complains about everything except himself. No two words of praise come out of his mouth even on the greatest merit. There is a practice of calling such people ' wretched'  in common language and usually everyone wants to keep distance from them.  On the other hand, the specialty of lively and cheerful people is that they find reasons to be happy even in the worst of circumstances. Even if someone feeds them half-cooked food, there would no wrinkle on their forehead. On the contrary, fill...
