SUPERSTITION

months ago, in news paper, there was a news that one Baba was arrested because he deceived a  person for one lakh by pretending that he knew the ritual to get treasure hidden underground. Sometimes this lust to get so much wealth is so intense, that such persons are ready to kill child and victimise him. Sometimes we listen  that completion of any construction is requiring human victim. Many times, such requirement is fulfilled and such crime is suppressed by every concerned person. Such crimes occur, because it is the fact that in our society there are superstitions.
          In Fact there is great difference in belief and blind- belief, means in faith and superstition. Beliefs or faith in God is always good. Only on that faith many people face difficult problems in their lives. Many times it increases power of mind. But if any person believes on superstition blindly, many times he has to get stuck in serious problems.
           There are many humourous superstitions in our surroundings. For example,if we are going for some important work, and a cat crosses our way,it is believed that  we will not get success in that work. Another superstition is that on Ganesh chaturthi, if anyone will look at moon, in future he will have to face false blame of theft there is a myth relating to this belief. But the solution to save from this blame is more humorous, which hasn't any base, nor there is any logical reason. The solution is believed that the person looking at moon on that day should throw pebbles on the roof of tins of neighbours. Again if a crow is shouting in your courtyard, there will be guests in your house. We can make a huge list of such humourous superstitions. In many advanced countries also such humourous superstitions are in existence.  For example,in Ireland and Scotland, seeing a single magpie is supposed bad but two or more is fine. According to Russian, whistling in and at the sun are both ill-advised. According to the Hungarians and Russians, sitting at the corner of the table is bad luck. So this list also can be very huge. After all, superstition is a question of everyone's faith and everyone's experience. Again everyone has freedom and fundamental right to believe or not to believe. So we can't  mock them. Only everyone should take care that his own beliefs should not hurt others.

Colours of the days

Yesterday,I met our family friend -a retired person- and as formality, I asked him that how he was, he started to complain about his retired life. His main complaint was that for him now every day was similar to another,no change, no zest. Even on festival also except for some time, the remaining day was very dull for him. While speaking, he referred that after retirement, his all days are of grey colour,and yes, I also agreed with him on the point that days also have colours and various shades.                       Even though grammatically,a day is a concept and so it has no colour, no shape,no size. Again logically, day after day comes and it makes a week, month,a year and our life goes on. So a day doesn't differ from other days. Yet practically we have experience that if on a day, the climate is cloudy for the whole day, everyone feels dull, and as grey colour is symbol o...

PURITY

  Even though, adulteration is crime, now a day, there is adulteration in almost every thing. There is adulteration in eatables like oil, ghee, mustard, turmeric, chilli powder, pepper, salt, honey, saffron, pulses,panir, ice-cream. There are chemicals sprinkled on vegetables to look fresh. Many times, fruits are rippen with the help of chemicals. Many times, apples are coated with wax to look attractive and fresh. Many times, watermelons are injected with chemicals to be sweet and red. In farms the farmers are using so much fertilizer, that it is affecting the crops and that crop is becoming injurious for health. In gold and silver jewelry, there can be adulteration of  alloyed metal. If we become ill because of the adulteration,and we take medicine, there is adulteration in medicine also. In short, today, purity has become rare.       This purity hasn't become rare only in eatables and other things, but also in mankind's relationship. So ma...
