Traditional Values in your Culture & Ritual

Why we should still follow our diminishing Tradition, Culture and Rituals in today's world?

Its been a trend in today's world that most of the people follow others style without knowing why they are doing it. People in East looks at West and those who are in West turns to East.. Slowly we are seeing steady change in things we wear, things we do, food we eat and things we follow. I think, its common now that we fall in love blindly with others way of living and we questions those practices laid by our ancestors. Its human nature that only few will see what they have rather than looking at what others have, hardly few will try to know why these practices were given by our ancestors and the essence of it.

I felt that" whatever we do or follow is 'OK' if we are in love with it but I wish to quote at-least follow your ancestral Tradition, Beliefs, Values, their Culture and Ritual to the best possible way you can, so that you can save your ancestral uniqueness for the future generation to come else things will be monotonous". Lets not stop doing good things even in the smallest possible way rather than not doing it, if everyone is busy, if all of us are tired and if we think its 'OK' others are there to do some good and it's need not to be done by me, then there won't be any GOOD left in the world..!

Hmm.. Here is an incident where there was an accident in the mid of busy street, the guy was badly injured and bleeding, looks like he has missed the track and hit the lamppost. I saw many people in the busy street stood seeing the victim with great surprise, few were sad for him, few didn't bother to stop and help even after knowing that there needs some aid for the injured person, they were least bothered to see what went wrong. Others were making video for whats-app/face-book, some of them couldn't even notice there was something fishy as they were wearing headset listening to music or seeing mobile or on call/texting.
Even though most of them are sad or surprised, hardly few people readily came to aid the need. May be because they may have felt that they need to pay for the victim, if he is hospitalized or they need to be present in Police station/Court if called as witness in case of any issue/death. There were few people who felt this as a common scene and a death of people aren't something new to worry about. Few didn't find their loved ones in the eyes of suffering man, some people who knew the victim in person were about to help but didn't as they just followed those who passed by the victim as unseen. There were few crooked minds who helped the victim and in mean time snatched his wallet/money too.. Hmm variety of people aren't we?!

Among these different hearted, different mind-set people only handful of people were little kind to the victim or had the sense of humanity or kindness working to whatever extent that they had cultivated in them. Only those who see the suffering in others are real humans and not those who wear a Polo-T with a quote "Being Human". I saw one guy rushed to the victim and tried to lift him up and to ensure the injured person is 'OK', the other one rushed to give some water, as these two are about to leave there was one more person in the crowd aided the injured to breath easy by removing his bag-pack, shoes and a lady came buying some sort of anti-septic liquid, bandage and a generic ointment for applying the injured. As they left there was one strong guy who informed the police and other nice girl called the emergency helpline and couple more joined to assist the victim & stood with the victim till he was hospitalized and stood still their family/friends were available for the victim's help.

Even though you may not get a direct credit in helping the needy or the victim may not realize the amount of aid you gave him during his critical stage of life, but still few showed the amount of kindness, humanity to the best possible way that is left in them. Here victim may not give you any return gift but still few stood to help by not thinking like other hundreds of people. We can't judge those who helped were good and those who didn't were wrong but still... Hmm! May be there is a saying "What goes around, comes around in same way. What you do for others, you reap the same someday".. Yes, may be it's true..
Now, what was 'I' doing?! Who am 'I' when other played their role in the scene?!

Consider your ancestral culture, values, traditions and ritual as a victim (the person laid in the street suffering) and you are the person seeing the sufferings of your ancestral values or diminishing unique traditional cultural heritage of your Nation/State/Religion/Family, what you do, after seeing its gradual decaying phenomenon?!

'I' was the victim, 'I' am your "Traditional Values in your Culture & Ritual" ...!!

Now, just ask yourself...

• Would you stay as if you don't know about injury or you find a reason/a chance to escape from aiding me?
• Will you stay so occupied in your own world that you can't notice the suffering in me?
• Will you think this decaying of one value is the rise of something new and you can't be sad for any sort of loss and don't make any effort to save your ancestral uniqueness?
• Is it more important to capture the decaying process in an Instagram/Twitter and create a buzz about my endanger rather than saving me?
• Are you one among those who just feel sad and stood surprised seeing the fatal incident of mine?
• Are you among those who were willing to help but blindly copied others who didn't bother to aid?
• Are you that person who couldn't find himself in the place of victim and failed to feel the pain even after knowing the impact of it?
• Will you pretend to help and ill utilize the scenario to your benefit?

OR

• Will you be the one, who rush to aid by feeling the pain of mine even when you can't completely heal my condition?
• Will you be the one, who helps to ease situation even if its not in your control?
• Would you be the one who comes at-least with a small help even when he cant aid in big ways to save the culture?
• Will you assist by practicing the right protocol and intimating right people in time of need and show courtesy to protect the 'decaying national heritage'?
• Are you that one person who stays till the end holding on to good practice, principles after knowing the intensity of pain and feel it as yours?

Its left to each one of us to decide whether to pass on the baton given to us by our elders to the next generation to come in the same way (or with a slightly polished way) or its worth to just run behind others baton and create a prototype of others by leaving your own baton (a unique one).

The Change of Cubicle!

My First Companion:

Hello folks! I am back after a really long time, today it's not about blogging an illusionary story but Jenkies! its about me.. Isn't it funny!? he he.. I really don't have any emotion left to show now.. Boogie-Woogie! let me blog what I feel & it's for me this time, just to preserve my memories safely for days to come.. BTW to my pleasant surprise, I came to know that I(my blog) have viewers from all over the world now, wow! Cheers to me! its a nice Stat from my watch list.. ha ha!

Actually, I was in the quest, probably that may be the reason which took me so long to scrap here, let me tell you what was it all about, here it goes:

"Karmanye Vadhikaraste, Ma phaleshou kada chana,
Ma Karma Phala Hetur Bhurmatey Sangostva Akarmani"

-Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 47

Meaning:

You have the right to perform your actions, but you are not entitled to the fruits of the actions.

Do not let the fruit be the purpose of your actions, and therefore you won’t be attached to not doing your duty.

The above lines enlightened me and made me to focus on my duty always and it will always keep me going!

Good Books are Best Friends!

Hmm..! I remember it was a Thursday, November 14th, 2013, I was thinking for some time that 'Am I at right place?! Is everything balanced in personal as well as in professional life?! Is it right time for me to bring in a change in my work life?!' I kept thinking on how to do graceful yet responsible exit with no expectation from my Employer nor demanding anything from my 'First Companion'. At the same time I read Sachin Tendulkar's decision to hang up his boots. He walked into the middle of 22 yards for the last time representing his Nation, he held his head high, stood focused on ground amidst loads of distraction & scored a determined 74 runs @ the age of 40, his bat spoke for him! 

Sachin Tendulkar Getting Guard of Honour in his last test match, 14th Nov,2013

The people who knows their Job well and Loves it 'Dil Se' answers the challenges, critics by their work & actions not by words! May be they know the day when learning seems to be getting saturated, the work done till date gave them a pleasant satisfaction, they opts for CHANGE without any greed, then there comes a moment of Graceful Exit. Sri Gita, Good Books & Sachin always Inspired me! He(Tendulkar) has proved and showed time & again that a man can achieve great height and learns new aspects only by exposing himself to challenging situation, man will be made to know his potential when he is out of his comfort zone. This thought marked a new beginning in my Life too!

"The Time has arrived and the stage is set for my last day's performance at HC-LTL for TM-oB", Since April 14th, 2010, Its been a long Journey, I feel time has elapsed lightning quickly making me grow older by 4 years and I have gained around 4 years of experience. The Journey was tough, challenging and every step was memorable, I cherish every bit of it in my own ways.

My First Team during training.
Mavens Team in Jigni, Bangalore.
During Hungama with mentor AJ in 2010.

My Mom always taught me how to be thankful to those who helped, Dad showed how to do good deeds constantly & stay away without poking nose in others matter, Bro's patience was exemplary.

If I have done something good for the Project & to My Team, then it is purely by the mercy and blessings of Almighty. Thanks to my Family & Friends for their humongous support. The timely guidance I got from my well wishers has made me better every time.

4th Floor, ODC#2

There were few nice people around me, whose time & timely help is worth remembering, they had motivated me at my work place (where I spend half of my day, most of my life), The Mentors, Trainers, Pals, HRs, Leads, Colleagues, Managers, House keeping unit, Security, IT & Lift operating staffs, Vendors..etc Some of them were truly God sent, because, when I am drained out of energy, their words made me smile, they brought me back on track and unknowingly to themselves some of them has inspired me at different stages in my career. Everyday there was something to learn, either professionally or personally!

O! Company..! Thanks for your company!

Now it's time for me to say Good bye!
It makes me happy, It makes me sad,

Thanks for the opportunity, I feel so glad..

Its a cycle of giving and taking,
Pleasure or Pressure, its all about enjoying..
 

Here it's not all about fun, but there was so much to learn,
In any work place not only money, even Respect we need to earn..!

Now it's time for me to say Good bye!

This makes me happy, this makes me sad,

Thanks for the opportunity, I feel so glad..

O! Company..! Thanks for accompany!

My Testing Team, with few ppl missing in pic.
During a B'day bash!

Today, I look like a Joker, a wanderer, at times a loner or a flirt who is doing time pass.. ha ha.. That's fine.. BTW, I can recall those days( 5 years ago) of recession, days when I was Jobless and suddenly got two good offers. Getting into 'Desi' Company was dream and it came true! Later, people termed me foolish or crazy when I left or missed probable offers in Singapore & USA (Client) as I wished to serve 'My First Companion' for few more days in Bangalore.

Config, Development & Testing Team
during a Photo session with LOB Head, Bangalore!

I love to remember my Mentor AJ's words in May,2010, I cherish to recall often. Things and people turned out the way he told, making me learn to accept Change and Truth. I am Thankful for his words! A Special thanks to you AJ!

Thanks to my trainers, especially to 'Sandeep' for teaching many etiquette's, those trainings showed me the value of good behaviour & gave courage, It brought in discipline, it laid a Strong foundation!

Varun's views on Good Employee and the offer he gave me (along with AJ & Maven's support) to work for a Big client handled by a youngest Manager (Probably in MWSOA, Bangalore), which I was about to reject but held on listening to my Special Sis words, brought me to get practical exposure in Testing Domain. This marked the beginning of my career! The word from Varun 'Youngest Manager' struck me somewhere as Inspiration!

Maven's in Mysore, First Team outing!
AJ with Ashw!

Once getting into project things were new, friends were away, I was finding tough to pull up my socs, illness added salt to injury but after that with the Mercy of God, help of Friends, under the guidance of Leads, Managers, Peers I started to feel better and worked with Mind & Body, Heart & Soul for about 4 years!

Most cherished thing was mentoring new team members, training them behind the scene gave happiness. I always wished what difficulties I underwent, they shouldn't.. Team outings, Festo's, New year & X-Mass celebration were memorable, even though I don't prefer to eat & drink outside, I looked like a lazy participant.

Healthy Competation with mutual Co-operation do helps & it makes a difference!

Making fun, cracking PJs just to make people smile gave kick start for the day. Nice to see people happy because it makes us to forget our pain & personal issues! I Got a Chaddy Buddy in office, time spent was really nice, it was fun! Before that, My first Lead Divya was kind to me, thanks to the people who trained me on middle-ware testing, Babitha(TMO Encyclopedia), Naveen, Mallik. Once they left Sundari(2nd lead) took over from where Divya left, Thanks to her help, support & good words she spoke, it was pleasure. I got a chance to work under Surya & Anupama (4th & 3rd lead respectively) they were different from others, approach was different it gave me new dimension to see work and life, a Big thanks to them as well. Thanks to my onsite counterparts, Development (Retail, RSP, ESOA, TIBCO) & CM team folks for timely reply.

League of Outstanding trophy.
16th Jan, 2014.

I learnt many things seeing my Managers working from a distance, thanks for their faith in me. My Project Manager Binoy (Mostly youngest Manager in SOA Team), Aarthi (Retail Team RM), Ilayaraja (Retail Lead) & Hari (My Last RM) were very nice to me & to entire team. They were devoted to work always, the way they conducted & lead the team at the time of issues needs to be noted. Yes!, they were truly motivational in corporate sector! Gaurav, Ashu & Client side people like Chriss, Prem, Vipin were remarkable in IT, they kept me awake about my duties.

I calculated a formula based on my experience that some of the HRs & high level people will be having a beautiful smile, a fluent accent & a good appeal trough which they will easily negotiate with any issues, as they confuse rather than convince employees. I have met many LOB heads, HR's in many interviews and interacted with few in same firm and from other firms as well, but out of them I felt only few were really concerned for employees from heart, only few had time to listen to issues even in busy schedule & works for employees. Thanks to Bharthi Ji & Linnet Ji for being realistic, thanks for proving my formula wrong in this firm.

Savandurga Trip Pic with few friends!

Behind the scene, if someone had helped me and if I am not aware of them, then I THANK YOU wherever you are. I never wanna name my friends individually and thank them because, it was their job to be with me, help me :-)

My First Company means a lot to me, It's not about money, It was my passion to work, desire to lead. My Job meant a lot to me and my family, because, this was what I dreamt for & prayed for from so long when I had no Job during rescission, this was the first firm which improved my livelihood and changed my lifestyle. That's why I am proudly noting every special moment here for me & for my family. The won't happen each time you change the company, we grows and becomes materialistic!

TEAM WORK, WORKS!!!

I always wished and prayed that I shouldn't do any mistake at my workplace or in my work, if in case I do (by chance), I wished let it won't impact the reputation of company & client, let no consumers be suffered because of unknowingly or knowingly committed fault. I prayed if i am not 100% or not accomplished the work perfectly let the project be moved for next release or let it go out of scope..!

Wearing company ID in the beginning of my career was like wearing a Medal, it used to make me feel proud! I am sorry if I have unknowingly or knowingly hurted someone with words or by action. BTW I feel happy to see my Jr's, whom I trained, reaching good position or getting a good name.. I find myself in them :-) Sometimes, I gets into a bad habit of commenting on everything either openly or by hiding but still I loved my people & place heartfully, silently!

Bangalore Team form HC-LTL for TO-MB!

Experience can only be experienced but can't be explained! Nice exposure & experience in life from past 5 years. Chalo! Lets move on.. Let me take things as it comes, with head on ground..! Let my focus be back to work, Cheers!! Wishing Good luck to myself and praying for God's blessings on me in my future endeavours. As of now, signing off, catch you with next blog! Keep reading, Keep smiling. Good Luck to my company, all the employees & to my team! Nintendo!


My First Companion: April 14th, 2010 till Feb 4th, 2014- Bangalore, Karnataka, India!

As Time goes, people change, memories fades but hopefully heart never forgets!

Commercials

Adds:

Marketing using commercial adds has gone way beyond reality, sometime we find commercials to be senseless, very stupid & very funny if we peep into them properly. Just see fairness cream or face wash Adds on a TV, Adds starts with model (most of the time female models, because 90% gals are worried about looks) who is dark and she is covering her body and face to rim, so reluctant to show her face due to her worry about her external look. Soon a friend (whiter than the main model) comes and advises her to try brand 'Y' cream/face wash for a week, our main model has no faith still forcefully accepts to try it out and after a week she comes out in nice modern dress, outfit has changed so as the FACE & its charm, model looks as white as EGG shell or a newly painted home(with white distemper) and her fairness beats her friends charm who had advised her to use the product(but both had used same cream yet there is appealing difference), now if you see our main model carefully, we see that along with face other parts of the body is as fair as the face...Wow!! Message is like apply cream to face and you see its fairness effect so deeeep all over the body, sooo Nice!! You paid for one product (face wash/fairness Cream), applied to face and it has bleached entire body :P

Most funny thing is only the main model gets attention, applause, fame in Add(after using the cream) not the other gal who advised her and just think what if every gal uses those creams then all gals should have been either an air hostess or a model or a heroine, no gal would be a maid servant or  a home maker or a conductor in bus or a scientist, Thank god!! still few gals are spared, so we have few them other fields!!

But i wonder why any creams and face wash can't work on dark person? Why don't we see a relatively dark model in our Adds? Why these strategies won't work in Africa or even in some parts of Asia?! 

There are many more funny Adds which are away from reality yet captivates viewers and impress them to an extent that without using that brand they miss something! Those who are well educated makes Adds and so called civilized, scientific and modern educated men and women fall prey for the Adds.. Cool!!

BTW coming back to loop holes in modern day commercials or Adds which miss guides common man, we can see many more senseless Add themes. Keep an eye on soft drinks Adds, the top actress, models wont even take a sip of the soft drink but they pose nicely, just watch the fluid content/level in the transparent bottle it wont decrease even after main model takes sip after sip.. Most of the soft drinks are unfit to drink, Damn! its true that only side actors takes a sip and the main model skip the sip!!

The gist of all Adds seems to be skin show and glamorization of each film to its core and hide the truth, there may not be any link between the head and tail of the commercials theme and the product they are marketing.

Now washing powders and the cleansing agents will have real lime content, bathing soaps have natural milk, Neem, Rose and Sandal content but our soft drinks and food items will have artificial contents, essence not a natural fruit/vegetable content.. Our shampoos have real milk proteins and our health drinks have milk powder like content or artificially added nutrients, vitamins.

http://xenophilius.wordpress.com/2012/03/13/

There are many good commercials even now, which are funny, creative or have a scientific approach in depicting the theme to product user or has a different thought process involved and few of them are very informative. All the commercials are not bad and at the same time all are not good. We should know what to accept, what is real and what is not, nothing is perfect..!! At times what is good and what is near to truth & informative is not greeted by majority :D

Many more marketing strategies are there to discuss but let i keep this post short.. Catch you next time!

This blog by a Morosoph is dedicated to other Morosoph ;-) Chillax and Enjoy madi!!

Quotes on Adds:

Advertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don't have for something they don't need. 

Will Rogers 

Advertising is a racket, like the movies and the brokerage business. You cannot be honest without admitting that its constructive contribution to humanity is exactly minus zero.
F. Scott Fitzgerald 

Let advertisers spend the same amount of money improving their product that they do on advertising and they wouldn't have to advertise it. 

Will Rogers 

Advertising is the modern substitute for argument; its function is to make the worse appear the better.
George Santayana

The Inner Peace

Pursuit of Happiness in the race called Life:

We never went in pursuit of Happiness when we were small, yet we were happy. As a Child we never had the desire to conquer things nor had an ambition in mind to become outstanding. It was a simple mind which gets satisfied for a small piece of candy, a little toy, these were the reason of Joy. We didn't have much friends, only one or two nearby or none, never went behind anyone(other than mom), our home was our playground, it was our palace and everyone liked us, those innocent eyes which believed and liked things which glitters, cried for it when mom said 'No', got beaten up if we still insist for it and slept weeping on mom's lap hearing lullaby in little hard tone than the normal, after getting up we had forgotten about the things which made us cry nor we hated mom for her beating, because thoughts got vanished as cache got refreshed at the time of sleep. DB(Database) was poor but we had very rich heart enriched with satisfaction and which used to reach saturation at the earliest by the easiest means.

Olden days are Golden days.!! 

The Innocence was the key to treasure house of Happiness, we didn't know this formula for Happiness still we were Super Happy! At young age i didn't had any idea of Good and Bad, Love and Hate, Expectation and Sacrifice, Pain and Pleasure, Money and Morality nor aware of Caste and Creed, White and Black, Mine and Others, may be that was the reason of happiness. Whatever had happened we never used to think of it because it never stood in mind so long to think. Many things and people bypassed me but they didn't stick in my mind as a lasting memory. We never faked at those time as we never bother to get attention, we grew up imitating elders and following their footsteps, as we grew up the world view also grew along with us! Our environment which was bounded only to our home gradually extended. Candies, Toys got replaced by more costlier items. TVs, Books, Tricycle came to know. Gradually Knowledge, Anger, Individuality imbibed which slowly caused Innocence to fade, mind went behind things wherever it want.

More Options, more Confusions and less faith..!

As time moved on we changed with it, Change was the only constant remained in Life. A mind which rejuvenated in joy after seeing more awaited shows like 'Chitrahaar', 'Surabhi', 'Shakthi Maan', 'Disney Time' in a local DD Channel, a heart filled with Exuberance after hearing a live cricket match commentary in a Radio [An India win against Pakistan], an Enthusiastic, Spirited mind which governed us on playing a gully [Street side] games and fun obtained in road side foodies (Panipuri, Samosa, Bhel, Pakode). Getting into Schooling, getting adjusted to leave without those we followed (Parents), finding a good relationship as Pals. A Wednesday colorful dress, a Saturday games, PT and half day and we awaited for our Birthday to wear a new dress and to give chocolates to all our fellow mates, two for the Teacher and one for others, we restored few more for our close buddies to give secretly and silently. Slowly we entered stages where we felt words from elders are boring lectures, we were hesitant when we get the annual report cards, those prayers in God for his mercy and a miraculous escape finally passing and leaping ahead year after year. Media grew so as Personality in us, Selfishness and the Good's and the Bad's Grew with us. What we sow in Childhood has started to have deep roots in our System.

An innocent child is a allegory of GOD..!!

More people, more Civilized men, more Education, higher Ambition, Dreams and the Aspirations and the age of Adolescence, mind which made us act wicked. Meanwhile we had already faced many hard times, lost those amount of real Joy what we had in the past. Now we are somewhere in the Quest of a Happy Path to traverse. Got many alternatives for each and everything in day to day Life, Life is Sophisticated and highly Fast, we are clever and aware far more than what we are, still Life and Mind misses something and it will be haunting and taunting sooner or later from time to time.

Got more TV channels, Hi-Fi TVs and Theater have replaced Drama, Stage shows but lesser interesting Programmas, AM (MF/SF) replaced by FM station but still not good as the past. Multiplexes, Malls replaced small markets, Bazaar's, empty playing areas but everything is Costlier and lacks the gest of essence in it. A pair of Hawai Slipper, a low priced stripe & colorful dress got replaced by Nike, Adidas or Puma. Now even the nameless Underwear's also said bye and VIP, Dixi, Hanes said Hi! Hi! and sat hiding. More options and more confusions, more trial and error methods, less trust and belief. There is less comfort with more money, more problems and new risks, difficulties encroached on happiness as technology grew more stalwart and now here the Innocence, Emotion, Sympathy, Selflessness, Sensitiveness is a mere  rare sight in a busy mind. Telling we don't wish to fake we became Masters in hide and seek! Friends who ditched, a lost belief, a mere illusion, attraction appeared as Love, broken promises, trust. Hurt which uprooted the smile and gifted silence on seeing people neglected our care and concern, Failures which encountered when went to mint money. As we neglected our parents words of care and never respected those who liked us, today we suffer when others repeat on us! Love, Job, Marriage, Getting a child and feeling settled yet searching and searching for Happiness like running around the same bush!

Other side of the mountain always looks green..!!

Alas! We went to search a lost thing in a wrong place..! We never learnt from our follies, may be we should have turned back and saw where we are and what we are. Even in the Busy Schedule we might have made time on a timely basis to Retrospect and Introspect and re-set the Path and Mind knowing Do's and Don't Do's by having patience, clarity of runway when embracing new things was important, we should not have followed blindly nor accepted anything as others did it! We ought to inculcate new things, no harm in it, but not at the cost of leaving completely what was our own, may be its our culture or the behavior or the knowledge or a small thing which made us smile. A sweet hug by parents, being with those who liked us, and noticing, respecting those who cared, who told nice words in our needs & who repeatedly came behind us, only for us thinking we are special for the way we are and wanted our presence and felt our absence not because we are 'God's Gift to mankind' but just we are their Pals.

To make right choices in life,

you have to get in touch with your soul,

To do this, you need to experience solitude,

which most people are afraid of,

because in the silence you hear the truth

and knows the solution.

-unknown

Having Innocence by keeping the mind calm, showing an Iron will which is driven by a controlled mind, and respecting those who laid the ladder or became ladder for whatever we  have achieved, being humble and abiding from the good principles is the essence for a successful and happy Life. Laugh Loudly, keep people around you happy and Smile often. Forget the Bane and Forgive the faults, 'An err is to Human and to forgive is Divine'. Take good from others by not magnifying their mistakes, Caring our surroundings and being good is good. By doing this even the destiny feels shy to keep us under problems or pressure for a long time. Fate and Fortune favors the person who has faith.

Cheers! Smile ever :-). We can't go back to childhood and get same joy but we can still be happy if we take many things light heartedly..!

Happiness is within you not without you..!!

"As a child we had happiness even when we are isolated or alone in our own world, so we can achieve immortal happiness in solitude, may be only in solitude..!"

The Godly Women!

Woman-Essence of Life:

"Yatra Nari Astu Pujyante, Ramante Tatra Devataa” (The Gods reside in places where woman is worshiped)

~ Manu Smriti

The word Female has a Male in it but Female is a symbol of patience, care & affection, God's wonderful creation is 'Woman'. They say 'What man can't do a woman can..!', India is the only Country which might have realized the value and virtue of woman, so we had a elevated esthetic view over Women, hence we compare every good thing to feminine gender. The beautiful Earth we live we address it as 'Mother Earth', the Language we speak we define it as 'Mother Tongue', Nature which gave all the resources to survive we symbolizes  it to 'Mother Nature' and so on..

Woman has played a wide verity of roles in life and those role can never be replaced by Man, A women can only become a Home maker, a House wife, a Manager, Mentor and most importantly she can only become a Mother. She is the only one who can give Life[birth]. This country has a great reverence for Females, hence our culture is so rich. In India its Culture has its roots embedded deeply with Women.

Respect Women!

Here i just wanted to define my own views, ideas about respectful community called 'Women' and how it has transformed over the ages and its effects. Its not confined to any particular person whom i met in the course of my journey but its a collective experience which i am about to describe to myself rather than to explain to anyone what i had encountered and what i have realized. They say 'Change is common but the Change should be for Better', my ideas about feminine gender had wavered from time to time. I too had a great divine reverence but i never had a female sibling in my Life, so most of the time i went behind people to find a sister in them or a good friend in them to understand something about female nature, why they are so special, this nature of mine has constantly  made to face different consequences and few discarded me permanently, few didn't understood and few more avoided..

Coming back to Indian Culture and Education we had over the ages and roles played by women to boost our Culture, tradition and education, before 'Macaulay's minute' was imposed, before the British rule in India we followed our own education and tradition. For all of us our Mother is our First Teacher, Our home was our first school, the principles we follow was inculcated in our childhood which was taught by our parents. The Mothers touch, Home made food all was special and its unique. When a person is ill either he takes rest on the lap of his wife or on the lap of mother, sister their touch used to heel or gives a pleasant easiness to a tired body. It has a magnetic attraction, this was also considered one reason why women were not allowed to touch idol's in temple and we had a male priest, because her touch can attract things, it used to absorb energy.

At the time of pain the words they speak or the way they supported and stood behind us and showed light when in need is remarkable. Mother used to transfer her goodness to her child hence they said 'As the Mother so as the Child'. Hence in India's we remember our ancient history and continued to follow our own culture and 'Dharma' even after many many invasions, because mother used to embedded us with good nature in childhood. We used to follow our elders and what they taught, hence those Britishers who knew this wanted to end this saga of knowledge transfer by the introduction 'Macaulay's minute' which aimed at teaching some other new thing and what others have done leaving behind our own cultural heritage. Macaulay's Act had its own pros and Cons. Here i addressed only its ill effects.

The People who understood the essence of women power might have made women to stay in home as home makers and gave them the task of creating civilized citizen's to the country. Indian's knew the value of Women and her strengths in all possible ways and wanted to make good use of it. There is no doubt at that time about the ability of Women Power as the country had already knew the power as they saw Kausalya, Devaki, Savitri, Queen of Kituru-Chennamma, Female fighter of Chitadurga Oobavva, Kasturiba, Teresa so on.. The Country men believed in:

'जननी जन्मभूमिश्च स्वर्गादपि गरीयसी'. - Mother and Mother Land are superior than Heaven.

And here we worshiped women so we compared even the river[Ganga, Yamuna, Godaveri, Saraswathi, Narmadha, Sindu, Kaveri] and water to goddesses so we pray:

'गंगा च यमुने चैव गोदावरी सरस्वती |

नर्मदे सिंधु कावेरी जलेस्मिन संनिधिम कुरु ||'.

In daily prayers we used to remember Pancha Kanya's:

'Ahalya, Draupadi, Sita, Tara, Mandodari tatha,

Panchakanya smarn nityam maha pataka nasanam'

As per above shloka, remembering the panch kanya(5 women) can remove the many Sin

According to scriptures the following 5 women are called "Panch Kanyas" .

1)Ahilya- Wife of Sage Gautam. She suffered the curse of her husband for many years. She waited of Lord Rama for many years to liberate her from the curse.

2)Draupadi- During the exile, she supported her husbands at every point. She took the death of her son, Abhimanyu with courage and strength.

3)Sita- Incarnation of goddess lakshmi. She remained with Lord Rama in the most difficult conditions which she could had been avoided. The was totally dedicated to Lord Rama.

4)Tara- Wife of King Vali. She was famous for her diplomacy and even after the death of her husband she laid condition before her brother in law Sugriv to make her son successor of the throne.

5)Mandodri- Wife of King Ravana. She knew the nature of her husband and she handled him very well till the end and kept persuading him to drop the idea of Sita from his mind.

Remembering them helps to destroy the greatest sins.

The literal meaning of 'kanya' means 'a young girl'. Though the above 5 women were married and their lives were full of miseries.They were much ahead of the time and tackled the most difficult situations of their lives with courage.

Never make a GOOD Women Cry!

But as Tennyson said: 'The old order changes yielding place to new, lest one good custom should corrupt the world, and God fulfills Himself in many ways'. Time has changed so as the Culture and People's moral values and activities performed have transformed over the years so as the Women, even then they had upper hand from that day till today. A women who was confined mostly to home maker role as proved in almost all fields. Once people start to see the world and mingle with different people coming out of home, world view and beliefs will change, the tradition too changed over the ages based on the their own comfort level. The emotion levels in women has decreased and it increased in men drastically, Life style and thoughts have changed. The women can make once life has also proved she can tear apart once happiness too. A quite face has showed its violent other sided face. In this modernized busy world Parents started leaving their child in play homes, PG's so the saga of knowledge transfer has broken, Cultural and Tradition transformation has under went a change, slowly the knowledge imparted by elders to next generation is reduced due to busy schedule and hence we struggle at times to take decision, today we know very less about ourselves and our people but eager to know more about others. We are eager to go abroad and learn many things but failed to peep into know a bit of our own history, Joints families have divided and children are born and brought up in different places where they have lost the joy of being with family. Somewhere respect towards elders have taken a tweak. But people were able to grow knowing materialistic external world, technology, science, embraced western culture, Globalization effected civilization and created few educated fools..! We don't know what lies next..?! What fate has in stored for us..! Still the saga is somewhere alive in this beautiful Country and in its Country men. Now also many of us has good 'Samaskar' hence we look at a our Mother or Sister or Wife or a Good female friend as a mode of inspiration. So a noblest thought goes like this: 'Behind every successful man there will be an Woman'.

Somewhere today Divine look towards women has gradually changed may be due to the impacts of mass media, now people have lost a bit of self consciousness, introspection and many of us view women as thing of Carnal desire. Today we have equal quota/equal rights between opposite sex, its good but the truth is women are not fit to be treated equal to men, don't know why women cherish this equality, there is no harm in following something new or glittering in the West but its better to know what we are following before time elapses because we need to understand that 'Other side of the mountain always looks green'. A day might come where we need to look back and wish to learn from our past as they say 'History Repeats by itself and Time is a great Teacher'. I said earlier that: 'Women are not fit to be treated as equal to men' because 'They are far superior than men'. i wanna quote a one more ancient belief that we had over the ages which proved true in epics: 

"A Woman who possess Goodness, Sincerity, Good Character, and who is having a pure heart, who can forgive faults and has the ability to show light will gain super power in her words, what she says will turn true' hence they used to say 'Never make a good women cry because her each drop of tear has the power to ruin life'.

This a Tribute to Good Women and I am proud to say Hats off to them...!
