God Helps a person who helps himself...

Big Hats off to God who is silently managing the world even though lots of bad things are happening infront of his eyes

- A statement by a fellow community person on Orkut!

How a contradicting statement..... "there are a lot of bad things when God is around!" If God was there, how could this happen? Aren't we supposed to live peacefully if God has a purpose to create us all in the first place? Am not questioning the existence of God! Am just questioning the blind faith that put on power external to us! Why don't we take responsibility to our actions?

First believe in yourselves! Then believe in power beyond your control! I don't deny that there is something that external to us that has an effect on us. Call it time, luck, God, fate, butterfly effect what ever.... but be sure about the fact that your actions and deeds determine your future, your existence. For eg.,. I believe nature is the most powerful thing that controls us. When it unleashes a flood, my actions should be to run to high grounds or swim or hold a tree. If I don't do any of these, am sure to be erased.

So what ever be your ideology, believe in you! You are the least powerful creature in this universe, but you are the only one who is equipped with all the powers to control yourself! Don't miss your actions and blame God! Do it yourself! God helps a person who helps himself! Again.. here God can be anyone whom you think.. a idol, time, fate, luck, Nature etc.

Exploitation....

Again one more debade..... Why we are hell bent to our empoyers in the IT industry. And my response!

Its called exploitation!

It happens in every single minute in human existence.

It happens in every society, community, industry, office, house, (wedded) lives so on and so fort.

I also know why we see IT as the culprit! No other industry had such an enormous and exaggerated growth than this industry. And If you see the last century, any industry which was at its peak stayed there only for less than 5 years. Be, it physics, astronomy, chemical, nuclear etc.,. But IT has sustained its peak for more than 15 years now.

Am not talking about IT in India alone. Its about the entire world. Even the peaking of other industries have gone unnoticed, because of the scales of IT industry.

The reason is the IT industry is not a self sustained Industry in itself. It pretty much is a dependent industry on other industries. A small eg., I come from a family which has a back ground of Civil Industry. Even today we continue our projects there. Until 12 years back, we used to hire Civil Diplomas and Engg. Graduates to do the designing for a project. THey used to have drafters and big boards and sheets to do it. Now with CAD, I can myself do it (with all due respect to the Engineers)! We need technical expertise only when we go live like raising RCC structures etc.,.

I think, I pretty much deviated from the topic. EXPLOITATION! No bloody system in the world is immune to this. The point is.. don't blame a single entity in the system. Its the total eco system that is probably not right, but I guess thats what nature has taught us! Survival of the fittest! Take life as it comes!

Time Machines!

Recently, I saw a question on Orkut, if I would go back or forward in time. And the Answer that I came to my Mind......

We always miss anything and everything from our past! We always want to know what would happen to us in the Future! But given a chance I would never want to go back in time nor do I want to go forward as well!

Though I love and miss a lot of my past, I don't want to miss what is now! I don't want to miss the motivation of being curious on what would be the next minute/day/month, so on and so forth.

I know that one day I would have to die, but that is why we are born! We are born to die! Its only natural! What we do though is survive every day and every challenge that we face until we reach the end! I better try to survive the new challenges than go back live through the same set of challenges we faced earlier! Besides whats the fun living the same life again!

Though am a lot eager and may be a bit anxious to know what life has to offer to me, I also will not go forward in life because this makes my life shorter! Whats the fun in not seeing my little angel's angel grow, roll over, crawl, sit, walk, talk and finally start questioning me! I better try to survive the new challenges than to skip them!

I'll enjoy each and everyday and thats what I believe I'm here for! I would rather live my entire life and die and rather than reaching my end so soon!

I know I could have spent these 5 minutes of typing this text in a much better and productive way. But thats the way it goes! I would have missed this experience if I had taken the time machine :P

Raj
