Why is fasting necessary?

Season of fasting was going on till yesterday for various religions and it's still going on for some.Yesterday I was really feeling glad that i belong to india.Muslims were celebrating ganesh chaturthi along with eid and hindus were celebrating eid along with samvatsari(a festival of jains).So it's not appropriate to use 'hindu' and 'muslims' here.The motive behind writing this blog is Why 'not eating food' the only way to show god that we remember and respect him?

Ramzan last for a month every year.You are not supposed to have even water during the 'Roza' time.Is that the only way to show allah that you are his true follower?Can't there be a substitute?

Jains were having Paryushan till yesterday.Doing 8 fasts continuously without water is a normal thing for them.But what about the after effects?Let's think about it rationally.Your work is affected during the day you fast because you are not that efficient as you will be on another normal day.

What i believe is God shall be remembered from heart.He don't want his followers to suffer because of him.Though fasting has laid it's root hard within our society.It's tough to make people believe that fasting is not necessary.Fasting has it's scientific advantages as well , no doubt in that but you should know your body's limits and shall not cross that limit.

What actually made me right this is 'consequences faced by my mother' due to a fast which she did yesterday.It was hot and humid yesterday and so unconducive weather it was for fasters.Water was essential requirement yesterday but then she didn't had water.Her Blood pressure went down due to lack of salt (as a result of no water),she was having constant vertigo and nausea and 2 vomits as well.A minor consequence this was.But this can magnify and especially when you are growing old day by day.So it was just a piece of advice from my side.Rest upto you.

Was just a thought and you have full right to agree or disagree :)

Amazing lightning

What a spectacular phenomena lightning is

Opposite charges meet and so they are bliss

After attaining neutrality great energy they emit

Heat and light is what they remit

As hot as sun is the single bolt

Electricity generated is equal to thousands of volt

It is associated with sound of thunder

Why it disappears so quickly I wonder

Different forms and different shades

In a spur of moment it fades

Though it’s beautiful and mesmerizing

Ball lightning is a type it’s wearing

Sprite,elves and bluejet are it’s types

Fascinated I am it’s a fact , no hypes

A tree of light,a tree of spark

Light then sound paints the dark.

P.S.:In the pic it's a type of lightning called sprite.Amazing it is..ain't it?

A request

I just watched a video of a song by shubha mudgal-'Sapna dekha he maine'.Though i have watched it umpteen times as i'm crazy for her voice but this time the video touched me deeply.It's about a poor gal who's expressing her desires.A rich gal fulfills the desire of that poor gal (i'm not liking calling her poor so i'm naming her X) by giving her a doll which she owns.But then ultimately reality reveals itself and inequality is visible.Why our society is so unequal?Why someone is bestowed with loads of money and why some people can't even afford one-time meal? are the questions which are not leaving my mind since watching the video.

It ain't the fault of those people that they are born in those surroundings.Like X they too have desires.They too want to study and they deserve a happy life and a childhood.Don't they?What we can do is help them in whatever way we can.A request from my side to those who are reading this :Please help making this world a perfect place without any inequality (I know it's a dream but start contributing because until and unless we don't dream how can it come true?).

Ending with few lines written by me :

"Dil me he armaan kai sare

Aankhon me he sapne pyare

Aao kare ek kamna

O saathi haath thamna

Duniya ko ek sa banane ki

Khwahish..ek behtar kal ki"

How to face adversity?

Whenever you feel like sky is falling down on you

Remember sky shows a beautiful view

Whenever you feel like God it’s now enough

Remember without getting rough you won’t get tough

Whenever you feel like why only me

Remember the following key

Great wisdom this Persian proverb conveys

I wept because I had no shoes

Until I saw a man who had no feet

So thank god for blessings always.

Problems are not for magnification

Let them change station

Bad phases are for making you strong

Face them as you are enjoying a song

Patience and strong heart you need

Although it is not a easy deed

Face difficulties with a smile

Everyone will then follow your style

Tears are symbols of weak

Common behave like a freak

Normally on adversity people lament

But Show you enjoy the time spent!

Well Done Abba!

Movie begins with flashback
Oh no it begins with the titletrack
Ali tells his story to boss
Explaining why the deadline he cross
His daughter’s marriage was the reason
Boss asked why it took a season?
No one should be deprived of water
And good marriage of his daughter
Were no small tasks
as system keeps on wearing different masks
System dug well on papers
Which made them scrappers
A great idea came in mind
Well got stolen now you find
Astonishment was police’s reaction
Political leaders then came in action
Work of months was done in a day
breaking water strike was indeed gay
Think beyond the word ‘me’
Save natural resources I plea
Beat the system that is dabba
And follow lesson from ‘well done abba’!

Why?..My reaction!

There are times in life

you don't get what you want

However hard you strive

Problems will always haunt.

How god can be this harsh

Why he created ailments

On a smooth road why there's a marsh

which leads people to lament.

Why happiness he can't spray

Why smile can't always stay

Helplessness is what he serves

with emotions he loves to play.

Life can change in a moment

certain things can happen

which will make you torment

but don't let the zeal dampen.

God will anyhow fulfill his wish

change your perception for problems

Try to live without water unlike fish

Help yourself and don't be in doldrums.

Power of words...

Great power words have
to bring smile on someone's face
Healing by words is magical
Though it has it's own pace.

Words can bring revolution
Motivate a person like nothing can
Words make you ponder
They are great tools for man.

They can make tears flow
Anger can be expressed in one go
All you need are the right words
and that makes it your show.

Just remember words can hurt
think before you use
once spoken there's no bouncing back
Use them properly and they will amuse.

Happy women's day!!!

Lovely Creation of God
whom we all adore
A great manager she is
as she never asks for more.

Listen,understand,support
concern,love and care
are not just words for her
You all know she’s always there.

She carries the generation forward
Lot of pain she bear
Keeps tolerating all the anger
Without displaying a tear.

Lot of roles she plays
No need for 33% reservation I say
Hats off to you and your courage
I wish you all Happy Women’s Day!!!

Memories

Memories are light that burn
to keep heart alive
Memories are the only real assets
which you have earn.
Wave recedes leaving seashells on sand
For every joy that passes something beautiful remains
Tears are unavoidable when painful memories are present
Sun goes down but gentle warm lingers on land.
Things that were hard to bear
Precious moments with your closed one
and childhood memories
are sweet to remember.
Life is a journey will soon pass
Nothing is permanent so won't last
Hold tightly things you never want to loose
Because memories are the only way alas!

Life goes on...

Whether it is a havoc or a catastrophe but
Life goes on...
Hundreds and thousands of children die of malnutrition but
Life goes on...
Poverty is becoming a epidemic but
Life goes on...
Synonymn for politicians is now corruption but
Life goes on...
Terrorism now dominates humanity but
Life goes on...
Increasing population is leading to compromise with dreams but
Life goes on...
Precious species are on verge of extinction due to pollution but
Life goes on...
Religion is getting over nation but
Life goes on...
Crimes are increasing like anything but
Life goes on...
Girl child is still not accepted with smile but
Life goes on...
Human is aware of all still for him
Life goes on...
