Beauty is Happiness

9:33 AM Posted by iSachin No comments

I was going through one of the post written on this subject. That person had written the exact same start for the blog which I was about to write. Was that obvious or do I see the beauty of the co-incidence in it. I guess not but whats the point of thinking beauty of the co-incidence. There is one cause this blog is on the beauty and we need something to start with...ha ha ha ..


In my view the beauty is after effect of the chemical reaction in the brain. This is a very cruel way to looking at it or not. See whenever there is a statement or situation there are always 2 sides to it. Some people will see the beauty of the contradiction in it. Some people don't but Does it really matter?. May be 'NO' but we need this beauty in the contraction for this blog so lets chew on it for some time..ha ha ha.

Again I am going to share a story lets see..what one beautiful thing you find out from this..
Its a real nice story...read it...

Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals.
So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, If after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death.

The question was: What do women really want?

Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, And to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query.
But, since it was better than death, He accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.

He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone:
The princess, the priests, the wise men, and even the court jester.
He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer.
Many people advised him to consult the old witch,
For only she would have the answer.
But the price would be high as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.

The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch.

She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price first.

The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, The most noble of the Knights of the Round Table, And Arthur's closest friend!

Young Arthur was horrified.
She was hunch-backed and hideous, had only one tooth, Smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life.

He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden, But Lancelot, having learnt of the proposal, spoke with Arthur.
He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life. And the preservation of the Round Table.

Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered. Arthur's question thus: "What a woman really wants?"

She said, "Is to be in charge of her own life."

Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth. And that Arthur's life would be spared.
And so it was.

The neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom. And Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.

The honeymoon hour approached and, Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him.
The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed.
The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened.
The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, She would henceforth be her horrible and deformed self only half the time.

And the beautiful maiden the other half.
"Which would you prefer? She asked him. "Beautiful during the day ... or at night?"

Lancelot pondered the predicament.
During the day he could have a beautiful woman to show off to his friends,
But at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch!
Or,
Would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day?
But by night a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous, intimate moments with?


(If you are a man reading this...) What would YOUR choice be?
(If you are a woman reading this?) What would YOUR MAN'S choice be?
What Lancelot chose, will be told to after you resolve this....
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Noble Lancelot, knowing the answer the witch gave Arthur to his question,
He said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself.
Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time.
Because, he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.

Now... the most interesting Part....  what is the moral to this story?

The moral is...
1) There is witch in every woman no matter how beautiful she is!
2) If you don't let a woman have her own way, things are going to get ugly.

So, always remember:
IT'S EITHER "HER WAY" OR IT'S "NO WAY" !!!
You have seen the moral of the story but in my view that story teaches us that beauty lies in the mind of the watcher. Until and unless that person is beautiful in his or her heart, that person will never able to see the beauty around.


I don't know whether I have strayed away form the main topic. This may not be the best peace of the blog in this contest but Does is matter?...Again the same question. I guess not because beauty of this is that I am just happy about being part of this contest. So being part of something is also a beautiful facet of this life.


Now I have to conclude it, that the beauty of the writing your own blog. You dont need to ask the permission to end it and you can conclude anything. At end of the day the things which give you happiness, we find beautiful.You will never be unhappy after finding the beauty so my conclusion is

 Beauty is Happiness

Is Indian youth serious about fight against corruption?

6:06 AM Posted by iSachin 2 comments
Its good to be back after very big break of two months. For last few months, the most consistent thing I have done is inconsistency in witting the blogs..ha ha ha. I always wanted to write about the different subjects,  touching our daily lives. Many of you, who gone through my blogs must have noticed that fact. Verity in the subject of blogs is what I was aspiring for but thanks to our politicians I am back on the same subject i.e. CORRUPTION.


Do I have any choice? I think no..:(


I have been very critical of this subject as I think corruption is the biggest threat to India. Far far bigger than the actual terrorism. We can vouch that there are far lesser terrorist of Indian origin. If compared to our population we had very few people involved in it. But if you look at the financial terrorism there is no dearth of talent in our country. You go every nook and corner of this country and you will find one or the other form of corruption.

Events in last few days has galvanized the whole country, especially the youth. The fight started by Anna Hazare was looked like on track. There were few arrest in the CWG and 2G spectrum scam. They were only tip of the iceberg but in the country where no politician went to jail for corruption, that was good start but the events happened in the Baba Ramdev's Satyagrah has shocked the nation. There is  reason behind it and that's what I am going to talk about.

Let me put the things in perspective the events leading to till date. We as a youth have been talking about the fight against the corruption but no one came forward. In fact nobody wants to fight and wants somebody else should do that for them. Many of us are using social media for many years but only came to know about its power when Revolution in Egypt Happened. Then came an old man who stood for every one, he is been fighting the war against corruption  politicians in most corruption state in the world i.e.Maharashtra for very long. We all breathed a sign of relief, we got someone to lead our fight or fight for us. We all were very happy.

Only after that the interested thing happened, we wont the world cup. We celebrated on the street like we have won a world war. It was day of joy so I am not against it but there was a fight going on in Delhi nobody came on the street for that. If we had done that only for single day. But we chose simplest way and i.e. Networking site. Sending the request to join the groups, sharing articles, sending sms's and lighting up candles.

We celebrated on the street when we were happy for one day. Where was that same youth when they were actually needed on the street for fighting corruption.We will never go on street because we are not that bothered. Has anybody thought what corruption we are talking about, let me tell the concern of the youth. They are only concerned about the the tax they have been paying is getting robbed and nothing else. If they were that concern then why didn't they come to street?

We really want to make the difference then we need to come out of this cyber world into real world. We did to stop lying to ourselves that we are not affected by it. If we think that we are getting affected by it then we need to take step to stop it. I think most of the youth in our country has got romanticised by the idea of being part of the revolution. Sharing articles or groups is no revolution it is just mean of communication the real battle will be fought on the street.

By seeing the governments approach from last few days it looks like they are ready for the big battle. Some of the expert are calling it as kind of emergency. In my view we are in the state of emergency for last few years so we should stop lying to ourselves.

In my previous blogs I tried to explain in Kalyug Blog, why we are so careless or unethical about corruption. I made fun of corruption in Legally Corrupt blog. If you look closely everything bad happening around us is actually some way or the other related to corruption. No one can win the battle sitting on the computer. We as youth of this nation needs to make our presence felt by coming on the street because
Its now or never....
