Music Now and Then

The world is full of music. Every part of the earth has its own kind of musical diversity. It has become one of our daily requirements which we cannot live without. In this essay, I shall be describing the need of music and its importance for preserving its traditional values with the new age international music, popular nowadays.

In the era of the economical boom, everyone is chasing their dream, putting their maximum effort to achieve it. But, no one is perfect and moreover, requires some time to relax one’s mind and want a break from the work related thoughts. A soothing music to the ear can take away the mental stress in a moment. Music can boost a sleeping and exhausted body with a new charge to perform any task, be it a workout, preparing a presentation for the office and so on.

Music can bring the equilibrium between pressure and motivation and work as a catalyst to promote energy to flow in a positive direction. Everyone has grown up with the environment of their traditional music. One cannot be separated it from. We enjoy the rhythm from every corner of the globe. However, fusion of music has become the trend. Internationally we have made our music very diverse and enriched with different flavours of world music.

To sum up, we change our listening pattern, acoustics have evolved and so do we. We move on as our understanding of beats and cords improves. We try to explore other horizons. One’s old generation becomes new to others and we keep on exchanging and rotating the fun all around. Preserving, promoting and harvesting the tune for our auditory cortex. 

Money and Kids

In many countries people start to work to earn money from their childhood. Many believe it is inappropriate for the kids. There is a large group of the people, including me, which believe it as a wonderful thing to do. This will have a great impact not just in the life of a person but also play a important role in the society.

As we all had urged for sweets or toys in our childhood days, because we did not have any penny to buy that. We were so much dependent on out parents and elders for every tiny bit of happiness which had price written on it. Whenever we got those stuffs out of no hard work done, we never appreciated its value and often ended up spoiling it. However, this is not the case when earn something by putting some real efforts to it. So, when a child work to earn some money, no matter how small the amount it, one will appreciate its value more than its worth.

When there is hardship involved behind any bank note, the person values it more. This can evolve the thought process about the money in our young ones. Making oneself independent from daily's small urgings can boost the confidence of the kids. Supporting one's education and doing something meaningful in life and contributing in family, developing a sense of responsibility can build up a strong character we always wanted for everyone.

Everything has its own advantages and flaws. Meanwhile, we should always be aware of, if its not crossing its limits and destroying their childhood and school. We should play a pivotal role in shaping the individual for the betterment of the family and society. 

New and Old

‘Necessity is the mother of invention’.  We have evolved from the stone age days to the present day. We have come so far in this journey of development and we shall continue to do so, because this is what we live for. It is nature’s law, adapt and survive. Therefore, it has become more vital for us to keep inventing new tools and techniques for the betterment of the humanity. Some like it as in traditional way and some want to move on this path of adventure.

We cannot deny the fact that modern advances have made our life much better than precious days of cave man or the tribal environment. We are now more protected from the dangers of past. No doubt, humans have created many destructive forces such as nuclear weapon which can wipe out the life from the face of the earth and we have to be more careful about it and make sure that such forces remain contained. But, on the other hand, this nuclear energy provides us cheap energy.

It is all about intention, how one is going to apply it. Modern technology thrives on the old one, their basic principle resides in the classics but is not it that we wanted to make things better. We should respect the old but the new change was required. It is inevitable to keep the distance from modern transformation with keeping the old soul alive inside.

It is like, no one has got rid of ancient and traditional methods, they went through a transition to fulfil the current needs. What we have today is from the wisdom of yesterday and a gift for tomorrow, therefore it is called as ‘present’.

Rich and Poor

Every poor nation which looks forward towards a rich nation should evaluate the key reasons for their constant success. Most importantly in the field of health, education and trade, how they have pioneered it? Rich countries do have an important role to play in the development of poor world but they are busy developing their own.

Health sector imposes a huge burden on any country. When there is poor hygiene in all around the city, how can one imagine a healthy society? people will become sick again and again. Therefore the government has to take some measures to prevent diseases from happening by providing a healthy surrounding, promote sanitation and cleanliness. Vaccination is one more way to promote health which will bring down the health cost and disability in the population.

An effective education system is not just focusing on making people literate but to educate them. One should not just become able to read, but become capable of understanding the concept and building own thought process of a progressive person. Education plays a vital part in the personality development, and to build a strong nation its people should work as a single functional unit, can only be possible by sharing the knowledge around everyone.

Trade is a financial backbone of any country, if the there is a trade deficit, the country cannot prosper. For that, they have to identify their own potential of trade.Rich countries are always having an eye on other people’s assets and they have made a poor nation poorer.

In conclusion, we should learn from others about the new advances but never to become dependent to prosper because in this tough world you have to build your own path for success. Some of the giants may become generous to help or may cost a fortune.  

How to Help Homeless?

In most of the societies there are homeless people, somehow trying to survive the day. In this arena for hunger and shelter they are fighting everyday. But, helping them, just by offering some money is not enough and money cannot solve the problem, it act as a short relief. Therefore, the community should come up with innovative ideas which can ensure the long term shelter for the homeless.

Moreover, starting a well planned rehabilitation plan may provide some relief. Simultaneously, there will always be a need of different avenues to reach the goal. There should be a programme which can give jobs to become more independent in finding their home on their own. We can also supply them with the raw material and land, so that they can establish the roofs for their heads.

Donating money can be taken as an easy money, and many of the homeless may try to remain that way just because of it. This can be the main reason, why offering money is not dissolving the issue. When people get something without making any effort, may decrease the value of it and ultimately raise the epidemic even more. We should also rule out causes such as drug addiction, psychiatric illness, disability and then take step towards its eradication.

In conclusion, importance of monetary support can never be denied. But, investing it for good needs impeccable planning in skill development and making a homeless a self sustained independent individual. Because, relief works are temporary but learning remains forever. 

Credit Card Good or BaD

In this era of economic boom, and rise in the banking sector, people are getting multiple services and options to deal with their financial requirements. Apart from banking we invest money through banks, take loans, buy bonds of various values, and at last, but not the least we have credit cards. Credit cards, a new kind of mortgage which enable people to buy anything on credit, they can even buy a car. But, is it more convenient or troublesome?

No doubt, credit cards have saved us in many financial situations and saved us from the embarrassments. Provided us with easy money during various emergencies which require immediate money and we did not have to run to borrow cash from anybody. Such things have happened with me and my friends multiple times, and this piece of magnetic plastic had played a role of a savior.

However, it has a dark side too, if not managed adequately it will make you end up into bankruptcy. For instance, one of my friends had a tendency to buy multiple stuffs on credit without giving a thought about paying the card’s bill and added interests. He was kept loosing most of his salary paying those bill but never managed to get rid of them, on the other hand he end up adding more to it, and ultimately he perished. Somehow we helped him out of this situation.

In conclusion, taking credit is a delicate issue, should be handle with proper manner. Sometime its benefits may become the precursor of your nightmares. 

Material World and divorces

Modern society has evolved in multiple groups. Most of the people are amazed by the fast cars, designer outfits and jewelry. Many people are attracted towards materialistic things more than the love and valuing relationships. In some part of the society, it has raised the number of divorces. But, this is not true for everybody.

Everyone like to have costly and quality stuffs, it is a part of human behavior to get attracted towards whatever looks beautiful to our eyes. This does not mean that a person really requires them. As human conscious evolves, we value more about humanitarian stuffs. Sooner or later it happens to everyone. For example, parents who love their kids and nothing is more important to them then the smile on the face of the little pieces of their heart. When we grow up we try to repay them back the favor with our small efforts.

However, this is not the case with one group of people, whose conscious have not evolved enough to evaluate the human values and love and such people end up admiring the material world. Although married people are bonded with the relationships based on love and affection, but never appreciate its value and end up dissolving it for lack of comfort of luxury and class which is never permanent. Sometime when people realize, it has already become too late.

In conclusion, nothing is constant, other than the true love of your loved one, therefore try never to lose it. Because together one work for everything again and again, but alone one will end up losing everything.

Nuclear power is necessary evil

From the time of the first nuclear explosion in Japan, whole world got sacred with the immense power it harbours. Nowadays, it has been used in multiple ways to generate power and providing us with clean energy in comparison to conventional fossil fuels. But, there are still doubts about its potential hazards in today’s society.

Since the day when Einstein had come up with his revolutionary equation of mass and energy, it had created an environment of great surprise between the scientific realms. Everyone started to find out its true potentials and application. Einstein’s equation had given birth to the concept of nuclear fission, which drives the secret behind the atomic weapons. Scientists of Nazi Germany had started working on creating a nuclear weapon. This information had made Einstein to write a letter to the American government, which resulted in the event of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This had claimed thousands of lives and created an environment of terror.

However, this has one bright side to it. The principle of nuclear fission is also behind the nuclear reactor, which has provided us with clean energy from decades. As our reserves fossil fuel reserves are drying up, it has come up with as a boon to solve the problem of energy crises. On the other hand it does not creates any pollution and provide us a clean variant of non-renewable energy for a prolong period of time.

In conclusion, nuclear power has multiple applications in the field other than weapon of mass destruction such as clean energy, medicine and so on. It is up to us and government that how to harvest its power.

Education job and passion

After completing graduation or studies everybody wants a good job with a handsome amount of money with it. Nowadays education system has become more career oriented and most of the people are forced into opting career which has better scope financially. But, in the end, people sometimes end up realizing they are lacking the peace of mind, which one has thought could be brought by money. In this race of earning money people are killing their own passion and likes. However, we cannot deny the importance of money, because it plays a vital role in our life.

Money is very much essential for stability in our life. For instant when I wanted to pursue my medical education, it was my childhood dream to become a doctor and I did not qualify the entrance exam. It was my father who gave money to afford my education abroad and made my dream come true. In many situations we require urgent money such as during a medical emergency, buying home of our dreams and so on.

Some people in the society opt out of the collage, lucrative jobs or salary just to chase their dreams. For example, founder of Microsoft, Bill Gate has dropped collage and later his job at Apple to chase down his dream of becoming a pioneer in the field of computers and software.

In conclusion, we cannot deny importance of money. But we should not take is the only parameter of success. Following your dream with commitment and passion, the success and money will follow you everywhere.

Internet and Communication

The Internet has become a powerful media to connect globally nowadays. Internet speed has increased insanely high as compare to past decade, which has made communication more rapid and smooth. Everybody is linked with the World Wide Web and I am no exception to it. It has given our way of communicating a new booster. A small group of people believe that it is actually sabotaging our way of communication.

However, today internet is our one of the primary medium of connecting people. There are fairly multiple ways to share our information. I write emails to my friends, family members and of course my colleagues in the office, just by a click the information is shared in a lightning speed to any corner of the world. We have other mode of texting also such as instant messengers, where people interact with new people all around the globe, video messengers like Skype, Google Hangout have virtually erased the distance between distant people and saving relationships.

On the other hand, a group of individuals do not agree with this phenomenon. Their belief of internet destroying our way of communication is fairly true, as we are lacking the personal touch and confrontation. Instant messaging has severely affected our writing skills by using number of abbreviations and sometimes makes no sense to many people. The feeling of warmth is lacking, the personal touch of our loved one cannot be replaced by video chats.

In conclusion, we have reached so far in developing new ways of communication, which is great. But, it has affected the human way of interaction and made us more gadgets dependent. Due to this we do not try to take time to meet our loved ones personally.

Proper School Education

Currently a new trend has been started in the modern society to start schooling from very early age of four or five years. Sometimes or many a times children are not able to cope with the school environment, away from the parents, and it creates an environment of fear from education. Therefore, many people believe in late start of schooling from the age of six or seven years. Because till that time kids become a bit mature to handle the stress of school. I am fully agreed with this view.

The main purpose of education is all-round development of students, which is mental, psychological and physical. But, if we mess up the start then eventually outcome may suffer severe side-effects. Everyone has a different approach towards new ventures, some accept it wholeheartedly, and others may perish under the stress. Therefore, every decision should be well thought and researched for desired results.

Teens are much mature and curious towards the new things and take schooling as a new adventure, if put it in a proper direction. Therefore, their days can be extended instead of giving toddlers an early start.  Moreover, teens like to spend more time with friends and outside home, which make them suitable for schools and colleges, preferably till the age of 17 or 18 years.

Children like to spend more time with their parents, and elders have to first fortify the desire to go school instead of imposing it on them. On the other hand elder kids want to explore new avenues to reach and achieve impeccable success.

Today's Women

In today’s modern era women have achieved equal status to men in the society, as they have fought and worked hard to reach there. Therefore, women are liked to be treated like the same as we do for men. One group of people believes that economically independent women do not want to marry a man for any kind of support. This may be true in some places, but I do not agree with the statement completely.

Moreover, I believe marriage is an institution of which foundation is laid on love and affection between couples. Earlier in past, there was a time when women did not have a choice to choose a partner of their choice. But, today in many places women have equal rights, and they can decide on their own whom they want to be with. In earlier times females had supported their family if anything happens to the earning person. They worked in all the timelines to back their house.

For example, one of my female doctor friends has married with a male doctor because they felt for each other and it was never about the money, as both were immensely successful in their field. Every girl has a dream to be loved by someone, become a mother one day, and ultimately complete her family. I found money to play an important role, but not primary.

In conclusion, love is the precursor for marriage not money, although it may act a catalyst to fortify the relationship by providing some stability. 

Aryan Invasion of India Never Happened

There is a great deal of confusion over the origins of the Aryan invasion theory and even the word Arya. It explains also the use and misuse of the word.
The evidence of science now points to two basic conclusions: first, there was no Aryan invasion, and second, the Rigvedic people were already established in India no later than 4000 BCE.

Speaking of the Aryan invasion theory, it would probably be an oversimplification to say: "Germans invented it, British used it," but not by much. The concept of the Aryans as a race and the associated idea of the 'Aryan nation' were very much a part of the ideology of German nationalism. For reasons known only to them, Indian educational authorities have continued to propagate this obsolete fiction that degrades and divides her people. They have allowed their political biases and career interests to take precedence over the education of children. They continue to propagate a version that has no scientific basis.

The word 'Arya' in Sanskrit means noble and never a race. In fact, the authoritative Sanskrit lexicon , the famous Amarakosa gives the following definition:

mahakula kulinarya sabhya sajjana sadhavah

An Arya is one who hails from a noble family, of gentle behavior and demeanor, good-natured and of righteous conduct

Aryan fold had nothing to do with race, birth or nationality; it was due entirely to their failure to follow certain sacred rites. Second, the list includes people from all parts of India as well as a few neighboring countries like China and Persia (Pahlavas). Kambojas are from West Punjab, Yavanas from Afghanistan and beyond (not necessarily the Greeks) while Dravidas refers probably to people from the southwest of India and the South.

Then there is also the fact that the concept of the Aryan race and the Aryan-Dravidian divide is a modern European invention that receives no support from any ancient source. To apply it to people who lived thousands of years ago is an exercise in anachronism if there ever was one.

The sum total of all this is that Indians have no reason to be defensive about the word Arya. It applies to everyone who has tried to live by the high ideals of an ancient culture regardless of race, language or nationality. It is a cultural designation of a people who created a great civilization. Anti-Semitism was an aberration of Christian European history, with its roots in the New Testament, of sayings like "He that is not with me is against me." If the Europeans (and their Indian disciples) fight shy of the word, it is their problem stemming from their history. Modern India has many things for which she has reason to be grateful to European knowledge, but this is definitely not one of them.

Hastinapura dynasty: (1504 yrs from 3067 to 1563 BC)
Which was wel established in North India during the period of Indus valley civilization, whereas aryan invasion believed to be started at 1500BCE

The discovery of ruins in the Indus Valley (Harappa and Mohenjo-daro) was considered by indologists like Wheeler as proof of their conjectures – that a nomadic tribe from foreign lands had plundered India. It was pronounced that the ruins dated back to a time before the Aryan Invasion, although this was actually never verified. By assigning a period of 200 years to each of the several layers of the pre-Buddhist Vedic literature, indologists arrived at a time frame of somewhere between 1500 and 1000BC for the Invasion of the Aryans. Using Biblical chronology as their sheet anchor, nineteenth century indologists placed the creation of the world at 4000BC and Noah’s flood at 2500BC. They thus postulated that the Aryan Invasion could not have taken place any time before 1500BC. The latest satellite data combined with field archaeological studies have shown that the Rg Vedic Sarasvati had stopped being a perennial river long before 3000 BC. There are many such proof from Aryabhatta about astrological dating of mahabharat and beginning of Kalyuga over 3500 BC.

GOD or No God

Oldest delusion of the world is GOD
GOD created us or we have created GOD.
If GOD is there, then he is for everyone, not just for HUMANS, because everyone's god fight for injustice and help the weak, but in today's world humans are the sole cause of all the what is wrong in the world, Everyone wants to kill in the name of GOD, want to protect the protector. Exploit every resource of mother Earth and left every other creature to migrate and ultimately die due to lack of inhabitation. As we move destruction is what we left behind. Sooner the time will come when humans will do the irreversible if our Holy GOD will not intervene, if there is one. Because everyone's holy wars not sufficient and weapons of mass destruction and carbon emission will soon do the job.
