shreeradhaIt seems to be very easy to reach much coveted stage of detached or neutral behavior. In contrast, if you recognize that everyone has infinite history of his own and that everyone is trying to seek the same happiness and that such happiness is not attainable till one acquires art of detached behavior, you will admit it must be extremely difficult to become neutral.
shreeradhaThe detachment, then, is feeling lack of liking and hatred in this world for any object or any person. Persons and objects will still be there. You will be neutral to them. If they exist or not, it doesn’t bother you at all, for you have no interest in them since you have realized that happiness has never been in any object or person however beautiful, enchanting, entertaining it seems to be. It was there in your own thinking that such objects or persons brought you happiness. If this decision is firm, hatred vanishes automatically, for you don’t foresee any threat to incoming happiness since you know that it is not there in the first place.
Following are some examples of detached activities.
dhrubajyotiTwo-year-old Lakshmi Tatma, who was recently released from a Bangalore hospital after a complicated operation to remove her parasitic twin, is being deified in her village in Bihar where women have started worshipping her clay idol for divine blessings and good luck.

drkjshenoy One of my worst foibles is my inability to recognise faces. Or the failure to connect a familiar face to its identity. And this shortcoming in my persona manifests in two forms- misrecognition and non-recognition. While the former often landed me in a mess, the latter earned me the title of a pompous ass. Let me explain the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ of it all:
Non-recognition Syndrome: It is not uncommon to see an acquaintance of mine raise his hand to greet me and, having seen no glint of recognition in my eyes, pretend that he was just driving away a mosquito to save his face. And my truant debtors brazenly walk past me secure in the knowledge that I can’t recognise them.
rajivgurucharyyaNot waiting for reply did I proceed and holding you
By your arms started my march
Some limping moments
Sneered my voyage
Centuries ago was planted a sapling of rage and odorous angst
Was my ship sailing in the air or on the ice
Knew I not
Scary faces of lost time
Frowned at my dark visage
Thousands of questions
Hurdled my way
I was not to answer
I was a vagabond
Nor a living ghost
I had put your body
On my shoulders
King’s men were on my way
Sabred their points with my
Frowning whisper
Scampered all
One more night
Journey would sleep a long slumber
You would still be with me
Am I looking back
Was a soldier by my own right
Shining deaths were my company
Not running perils to save the prince
I am truncating the beguiling hopes
dhrubajyotiGeorge W Bush has been Google bombed.
Web users entering the words “miserable failure” into the popular search engine are directed to the biography of the president on the White House website.
The trick is possible because Google searches more than just the contents of web pages – it also counts how often a site is linked to, and with what words.
Thus, members of an online community can affect the results of Google searches – called “Google bombing” – by linking their sites to a chosen one.
Weblogger Adam Mathes is credited with inventing the practice in 2001, when he used it to link the phrase “talentless hack” to a friend’s website.
The search engine can be manipulated by a fairly small group of users, one report suggested.
dhrubajyotiSorry for breaking this to you girls but Ranbir Kapoor is already taken. We hear that the youngest Kapoor lad is dating none other than his Saawariya co-star Sonam.
Post debut, Sonam has been seen frequently visiting Ranbir’s house. She gets along very well with Ranbir’s mother, Neetu Singh as well. Ranbir and Sonam often go out together for long drives and dinners.
The two hit it off long back, when they started out as assistants on the sets of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Black. Then came Saawariya and their friendship turned into romance on the sets. Before Saawariya hit the theatres, Ranbir was linked up with Om Shanti Om heroine Deepika Padukone.
Talking to a tabloid Neetu Singh acknowledged the Ranbir and Sonam are actully spending a lot of time together.
rajivgurucharyyaVery often I wonder as to what purpose does our Traditional Educational System serve?. Right from our Primary to the tertiary and University level, education hardly comes handy so far our carrier building foundation is concerned. That the subjects we are taught are not quality based to make student stand on his own fit after he/she comes out of his formal Education, both under graduate and graduate or post graduate levels. To be frank an Arts graduate, particularly with combination such as History, Political Science, Sanskrit, and certain humanities subjects virtually teaches one nothing and when one steps into the practical world finds that he/she is good for nothing.
shreeradhaLet us assume that there is couple. Both of them are governed by rajas mood. Wife’s rajas mood is much stronger than her husband’s. Wife proposes a concert visit and husband promptly agrees to it. Both of them leave house. While going to concert, they come across a book stall. Since there is enough time to go to concert, they get into book stall to see the range of books available. They come across a book on God realization. Husband picks it up and scrolls trough it. His rajas mood, which was not strong enough, gets subdued as a result of divine atmosphere provided by book. Wife is getting restless, for they might miss the concert if her husband continued reading the book in which she has no interest at all . Husband’s mood gets totally changed.
