Freedom Is Not Free

It is very unfortunate that ‘Freedom is not free’. Whether a democratic country or a Plutocratic country, the condition is identical. Everything exist only in written, nothing is really practiced. Whenever comes a matter of writing, thought strikes to my mind ‘Hopefully it will not hurt anyone’s sentiments’. There are 195 countries in the world, 6700 languages, numerous religions and people with diverse beliefs. It is just impossible to get appreciated by everyone and when you are speaking the bitter truth then forget that even it will get accepted. The same is the case with Taslima Nasrin. She dares to speak out the truth; the whole community and people broke out to shut her mouth. I don’t understand why and how everyone’s sentiments get hurt so easily. But I really appreciate that she still on the way. She destroyed her whole life; put it on stake just for expressing her views. This is the cost she paid for her expression. This is the cruel reality of the world.

Christmas Celebration Outside The Doors Of Church

Christmas is a day of celebration. It brings happiness and a season of carnival. People love to gather in church and wish each other Merry Christmas. Likewise, I went to church to see the celebration of a festival which has brought light (Jesus) to Earth. That was Jesus’s wish which made me to visit the Church but may be the father of the church wish something else. According to his orders, nobody was allowed to enter the world of peace and prosperity, which resides inside the church.

It was Jesus' birthday and nobody was allowed to enter, it is such a thing difficult to understand. I am talking about the church at Cannaught Place. Non-Christians have only one way to celebrate this auspicious day and that is by visiting the Church. But father was celebrating in school and everyone was left with just one way to celebrate this occassion- Outside the Doors of Church. This is what I did too... :)

Make This World A Better Place

It is said that "where women are worshipped, there dwells the God". A women is represented as a symbol of love, affection and homogenity. Most of us will agree on a part that women endures more tolerance power than men. Even it is scientifically proved that women have greater intuition, greater courage, greater patience and better skills. due to these strengths, women is praised as Goddess in Hindu mythology. Women, being so important for the existence of life, are still facing worse conditions. They are not safe in the world which is decorated by them. A few days back, a female journalist, Somya was shot dead in Vasant kunj. She was working with an english news channel from last eight months. She was found in a suspicious condition. This is the real picture of our democratic country where everyone is free to move anywhere at anytime but are not assured of safety. Women cannot imagine to roam around in the night without having any kind of fear in mind. Even majority of us has accepted this as a fact that nothing is going to change. Why not make this world a better place to live? Let's start from ourself. If everybody will purify himself then the whole world will be purified itself.
