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"
