Short Life
Chotaasaa Jeevan
Aisehi beet jaayegaa
Kuch pyaar kar le
Matlab samz me aayega!
Short is life
Will be over as it is
Develop Love a little bit
And get the meaning of life!

Corruption In Indian Public Life
The extent to which corruption has flourished in India is quite alarming but it seems that it has achieved an unconscious sanction from the public at large.The public apathy towards the menace of corruption has crossed the dimensions of ethics to this extent that the money and muscle power rules the roost. It is a well known fact that the bulk of politicians go to the Assembly and Parliament or become Ministers at centre and in the states with a view to making money. The exceptions are a few and they seldom get elected for simply they don’t have the means to reach the corridors of power. Corruption mainly depends upon an individual’s inner conscious to accept gratification. No wonder that the independent India is a fertile ground of corruption.

CHARLIE”S DEBT
It was the summer of 1981 when I met Charlie at London Victoria coach station en route for a package tour of Benelux countries. Charlie, a white man, aged about 70, who looked every inch a destitute and an abandoned soul, asked me to let him carry my baggage to Victoria Railway station fifty yards away in exchange for a few pennies. I declined his assistance as I was a tourist travelling on a shoe-string budget.
By the time I landed back to the Victoria rail station from Europe tour I was precariously low on cash. It was 12.45 P.M. and I had to catch the 1P.M bus for my sister’s place at Newquay for which I had a prepaid return ticket. But I found to, my dismay, that on that Sunday the bus was to start from another place across the street and I didn’t know where it was.

Saving Money in Japan
When we were JETs back in the day, there were times when we all ate instant ramen all week to save money for a big trip or get through the week before payday after a heavy month of shopping -or partying- in what we considered to be an expensive country to live in. One of my good friends told me his tricks of getting free bread at the bakeries around his house by asking for their leftover crusts, パンã®è€³ pan-no-mimi, that they cut off to make those famous Japanese triangle sandwiches.

Madhur signs Arbaaz Khan for Fashion
Things are finally happening in Arbaaz Khan’s career. After playing marginal characters in Priydarshan’s comedies and sundry supporting roles, Arbaaz Khan has moved into principal roles in significant films.
He has just been signed to play the main male lead opposite Priyanka Chopra and Kangana Ranaut in Madhur Bhandakar’s Fashion. “When Madhur offered me this role I wasn’t the least worried about the space I’d have in the film. Even though two beautiful ladies Priyanka and Kangana were already signed I’m handsome enough to hold my own,” Arbaaz jokes.

Miss France 2008 has been asked to return her crown
Miss France 2008 has been asked to return her crown after a magazine published suggestive photographs of the 22-year old model.
Valerie Begue, from the French-run Indian Ocean island of Reunion, was selected Miss France 2008 earlier this month. But she has refused to resign, saying she had been betrayed.
Before the competition, contestants assure that they have never been photographed in compromising positions. But, one of the pictures shows Valerie licking yoghurt provocatively, while another has her floating on a wooden cross in a swimming pool.

The Permanent Solution – 33 (A philosophical short book) (LAST POST OF THIS SERIES)
Finally some don’ts :
1. Don’t let any one know that you are, now a days, thinking of God. Keep your spiritual practice a total secrete. If anyone points it out, just ignore him or her by telling, “I’m not a person worthy of following any spiritual discipline.â€

The Permanent Solution – 32 (A philosophical short book)
While in solitude, devotional songs pertaining to lord’s costumes, beauty, pastimes help a lot to visualize his existence. Mind, which fails to extract any happiness in earlier stages, needs assistance from outside in the form of devotional songs. You need to sit with alertness, for lazy postures allow mind go out of control. Sankirtan, which essentially involves singing devotional songs together in a group assisted with musical instruments, helps in the best possible way to control the mind and to divert it to divine area.

The Permanent Solution – 31 (A philosophical short book)
You can adopt any of five moods described earlier. Do not think of God to be the creator of universe or to be all powerful while practicing spiritual exercises through different moods. Devotional practice is, after all, a love affair. Love can exists only if there is not a feeling of awe for other personality. You need to think of him as your king, master, friend, son or beloved. You will never forget that whichever from you visualize him in is divine. It is full of transcendental beauty and transcendental happiness. You will remember that he is present every where. You will also make sure you will not demand anything, right up to mukti, from him. You will think of him and only him.
