Democracy and History

Democracy, as we are part of the democratic country we are well aware what democracy means. I believe that democracy means Govt for the people, By the pople and of the people. Lets have a look at how a democratic country operate say, election will be conducted and people will cast vote to their favourite candidate and the candidate who gains more number of vote wins the election and will have the power.

I was going through the great indian epic mahabharatha and the war that took place at the end of dwapara yuga and the people involved in it and suddenly a question araised in my mind, if we think that democracy is selecting the candidate who is favoured by most of the people like gaining more number of votes is said to be democratic, In the war of mahabaratha we find that Duryodhana had 11 akshauhini of troops supporting him and Yudisthira has 7 akshauhini of troops supporting him, if we apply the rule of democracy over there then it is obvious that Duryodhana wins democratically but as we read mahabaratha we feel that the virtue is with yudistira and almost all of us want yudistira to win and duryodhana to loose.

Does this mean that people who opted for yudistira to win are against democracy?? or is there any flaw in the way of the democracy we follow. If we put forward the question in the general way, Is whatever we say as democracy and whatever methods we follow as democracy is correct ??? what if more people prefer bad things over good then as per our democratic rule bad things win and more bad things will be happening to people

Is there a way now to change the decision knowing that we have made wrong in this deocratic country?? I guess not. if we have selected a candidate we have to live with him until his tenure of 5 years complete and as people started getting used to it they are forgetting the thoughts they initially had about the candidate and mesmarised by the good work he does at the time of elctions nearing and we end up in selecting based on who does good things at the time of elections. Dont you realise that there is something wrong going on over here. Even if somone points out and says this we being pround of our decision and do not want to be pointed out by others end up in defending our decision and rejecting the advice given by the person who wishes to do good to all.

There could be many such cases and hidden truths which we might have missed out from protecting but still we fight and stand for what we project to outside world though internally we realise it is not the right one. How funny we are.

In the epic mahabaratha before the start of the war Yudistira offered the chance to kuru army that whoever feels that truth and morality is on the side of pandavas can come and join his army and none save yuyutsu have changed sides. Though others have their own reason for fighting on behalf of kuru army when we looked at overall the persons benefitted by king yudistira is less than the persons benefitted by king duryodhana.

We say that Indians are more traditional and will have their way followed from their ancesters and they are cultured and they protect their culture for times and yes they are doing it but with this comparision i would say they are protecting it without knowing what exactly have to be protected and if someone points out the truth we fight for the wrong and false course being afraid of what it leads to.

Anveshana - The Quest

Everyone, I have been thinking a lot before writing this blog. There are lot of queries in this topic i am about to talk and lot of controversies too. After a long moment of thinking here i am with my views on this quite controversial topic. Before proceeding any further i would like to get yourself introduced to the topic, As the topic says "Anveshana" which according to me is the search of your life or the quest of your life. The word anveshana means the same( Search of life) in telugu as i know.

Now before I move to search of my life there is something that i would like to say about this topic the search of life, I believe that every human being searches for something in their life some by knowing what they are searching for and some without knowing and some do not even know that they are searching but everybody in our life do search for something. I havent seen many people searching and i havent analysed or surveyed anyone but i do feel that any person whatever he may do and who ever he may be, he would be searching for something in his life.

The search can lead you anywhere and it can be in any area as well, for some it might be in music and for some it might be in cooking and for some it might be in cheating others and it might also be some weird activities for some but they do search for it and by gods grace some achieves what they search for and some dont but the searching doesnt stop. My belief here is that the soution to your search is the sole purpose of your birth. The answer to this search might get you eternal bliss

Anveshana creats the passion in you to achieve the one thing that you do care about, The one thing that you will be willing to sacrifice all the things you own and the one thing with which they would be satisfied completely. if one achieves their anveshana then it is meant that their purpose in this earth has been fulfilled and it is rare that such a person has their re-birth sooner.

From the moment i started believing anveshana, I have been searching my life and never ever got an satisfiable answer which means that something which i so desperately needed is not know to me yet but my quest didnt stop i may not know what i am searching for but i do know that i am searching for something that would get me to a satisfaction and will make me the complete one of myselt. To know about one's anveshana he must be true to himself. As I believe any person in this world cannot cheat himself. A person can do any brutal act and pretend in front of law that he didnt perform one but, he internally knows that he has did it and many people fake about this felling and fail to accept the truth but, deep down their heart they know whether their act is agreeable or toleratable and whenever you feel that you are satisfied with the acts that you actually intented and succed in following the same then you might be of sure that you have achieved your anveshana.

The feel of complete satisfaction which is very rare to me to achieve yet all the people journey towards the same, their quest continues until they attain their anveshana

Life Must Go On

I have really give a lot of thinking before starting this blog. Many would not have experienced with what i am expressing in this blog but whatever happens life must go on.

I used to think often about my missing life and as i recently developed the habit of expressing myself in this internet and blogging, the thought occured to me when i am writing about many things in the blog why not about my missing life.

A year back I was not like how i am today, the reason being i was staying with my friends. I do not know what others feel but i have this strong feeling that when you are with your with your friends then you will even feel the hell as heaven. I used to enjoy my time when i am with my friends and it so happened that the job i was doing was more enjoying to me so my life after college was full of happiness in both the work place and home.

we all know changes are constant in this world and i am no exception to it. It so happened that my joyous life after college came to an end, It all started when one of my friend went to foreign for pursuing his higher studies, then two of my friends got married and left our batch and two others went to foreign country as part of their work.

One used to say that a person may not know time when he is around his friends and the same was true in my case, i was with my friends for 4 years and within the fifth year everything changed and at the end of 5th year i was alone devoid of my college friends though we meet occationally i was desperately missing those beautiful days which i spent with my friends and my whole world around me changing in front of my eyes and i didnt like it. But couldnt do anything other than sitting simply and watching as always what ever happens life must move on.

I couldnt stay there any longer so i switched the job and moved back to my native. Hoping some change of environment might prove useful to my situation. But I didnt realise that by moving back i quitted the job which i liked and now here i am back at my native after 10 years completely like stranger to this place with new job and new environment and it needs more time for me to get used to all these new environments.

It has always been said that a friend in need is a friend in deed but my instinct says that getting one friend life long will make your life more happier and no matter what i miss the happiest moments of my life.

As always whatever happens life must move on
