I am feeling really awesome to share this with you. It is an incident which has happened in 2010. I was in Nashik, completing my B.Ed. It was near about 6 p:m. I was returning from my college. My room was 5 minutes away from the college. Actually it was a very big campus . KTHM, campus. From K.G. to P.G. courses are available there. I was crossing the main gate of one of the High-school building, at that time I noticed that somebody was crying. It was a school-boy. He might be in 5th or 6th class. The peon was closing the gates.As the boy was inside the gate, it was impossible to close it. So he took that boy out and closed the gate. I went near to Peon asked about the matter. Then he told me,  "sir, no one come to receive this boy's, and I have to go. I can't wait now, . Sir, please do me a favor please stay with the boy, until his parents come."     I had no choice. I agreed. The boy was crying continuously. I sooth him first. And started talking with him to make ...

                It was my friend who makes me think over this question. We were just wandering at airport. And talking about marriage he was not getting a girl in ‘His Caste’. I thought we get neighbours according to our financial condition, we get or become friends with those with whom we are comfortable, we get job according to our education. As we get our neighbours, friends and job according to our financial condition, comfort and education respectively. In the same way we get married with the person from our caste or religion. Now is this (caste or Religion) the only thing that makes ‘Jodies’ like ‘Rab Wali’. I think this must not be like this. Is this why we need the caste and religion for?   I know orthodox and dogmatist are going irritate by this question. But actually we really don’t need religion at all. I really mean it. I can think my life without religion. I have been thinking that if we eliminate castes and religions from th...

Yesterday was a sleepless night. Not because i was thinking of something or i had any bad dream. I was trying to sleep but the sound of beating drum disturbs me each time. It was Jagran-Gondhal’s program (praying god by singing songs for whole night) at our neighbour’s house that didn’t let me sleep. Our neighbour Mr. X (Identity should be hidden) is a Buddhist. I was thinking at first that Mr. X should not follow the custom of Jagran-Gondhal, because it is a Hindu’s custom and Mr.X is a Buddhist. How many people there who follows other religions’ rituals? I think mostly very few. These are two totally different things i.e. to participate in the ritual of the other religion and to follow or observe it by own. How many people observe the fast of Roja apart from Muslim brothers? How many people celebrate Christmas apart from Christians? How many people are there who don’t eat non-vegetables in Shravan apart from Hindu brothers?  As I have said above getting participate for the sa...
