A date with the Ganesha

With the blessings of the eternal lord we celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi in our mumbai office this year. The office was near completion and to begin our innings in the new surroundings the ganesh pooja was planned. Ganpati is a big occasion in Maharastra since preindependent India when Lokmanya Balgangadhar tilak planned mass celebration of ganpati to bring together the people and organize them to fight for the mortherland. The tradition has continued and it has now become a very character of the state.
The pooja this year was on sunday however being a permanent addendum of the office surroundings I was excited to host the lord . Sunday morning was busy as I accomapnied Giri and Santosh to bring the ganesha to our office. It was slightly crowded but was fun waiting to have the first look. We brought back the lord with chants of 'ganapati bappa mourya'. The office was

beautyfully decorated for the arrival by prashant and the boyz. It was all set and the pooja started with the arrival of the preist. It was was short but enlighting and was followed by a feast of the prasad. We had our evening aarti by 7:00 pm and the lord seem to enjoy every bit of it. I was fortunate enough to be blessed by his auspicious presence the whole night. With the gayatri chants breaking the silence of the night you can feel the positive energy flowing all around.
The next morning aarti was before the staff could arrive, however each staff member was able to experience his presence. After the evening pooja we took the lord for his final journey into the sea. With the divine chants of Ganpati bappa mourya we went into the sea which was beaming with devotes bidding a final goodbye to the lord. Finally the lord was let go and we came back drenched in his blessings.

The equations of physics depicts the natural facts in human acessible form like E= (mc)c. The eqaution depicts the way energy and mass are related e,m and c here does mean energy mass and speed of light but they are just the representative variables for humans to comprehend a natural law. In the same sense the pictorial and idol description of lord are for us mortals to comprehend the divine. We are really blessed to have found him in this form which can be seen and and get awed by his Mystic Presence. Ganapati Bappa Mourya

Honesty and Relationship

If you ask me what is the most single most important aspect that determines the fate of any relationship I can bet my ass on Honesty. Relationships are based on mutual respect and belief and when we are not honest with each other the relationship will not last for long. We may love the person with our heart but if we are afraid to speak the truth with that person then its not only disrespectful to that person but undermines the relationship. I understand when we start a new relationship we generally want to impress the other person with all our positive qualities and don't reveal everything about ourselves very quickly. I also agree as long as the other person is comfortable one does not have to bring up unfortunate events from the past. However once we are in a stable relationship one must be truthful to each other. We tend to lie to hide something and it indicates that we are afraid of something. Fear can have very bad effect on health of a relationship. It better to come out of ...

Morality..

Have you ever pondered why is morality necessary in life? Why our parents want us to be truthful, honest and humble. Why do we hate liars and hypocrites? Why there are numerous stories about the virtue of Good and how every time good wins over the evil in the long run. Are we good because there is an almighty god looking over us and we will be burnt in hell if we do something bad. Are people in general good because they are afraid of God. To me we are more good than evil because that is a logical thing to do. "Good" here i must emphasize symbolizes the greater good of our civilization and human race. It may be relative on an individual basis but on a macro scale being good or having all the positive qualities we hear about is logical and in fact very necessary for the very survival. Imagine a world where its OK to rob your neighbor and bring home their money and goods. With the same logic it should also be OK when one of our neighbors mugged us up. You can clearly visualize ...

Philosphy of mating

' Behind every great women there is a man...............checking out her ass .' I cannot agree more. Love Sex n Relationships are hotly read and debated topics and I have written about them in many of my previous posts. So whats new this time? Nothing much except that you can never write enough about them. I am not a relationship guru and I don't intend to be one so its just my take on things. When I talk about love in this post I just mean romantic love between couples so the deduction and inference may or may not hold for other relationships. Different Stages of Love 1) Attraction and lust - Romantic relationships starts with attraction. Well it may not be physical attraction only but couples get attracted to one quality or the other. We as humans have so many physical and personality traits which affect different people differently. Some one may find reading books a great hobby some one may just find it boring so relationship starts when one find the other attracti...
