The Feeling of 'I am Doing'

"Under the influence of false ego one thinks oneself to be the doer of activities, while in reality all activities are carried out by nature as natural process." - Bhagadgita 3.27.

We all at times and many times think and feel that we do everything the way wanted by the time we scheduled and at the venue we wanted. It rarely happens that way. When we see some things happening due to our actions and thoughts .... we erroneously and by ego think that what happened was purely due to us .... and that the circumstance, situation, the plot were all designed by us .... and that we celebrate the event s a successful does. In fact all of us very well know, how little of us was part of the event as a Does. To realize this we just need to list out the components of any kinds of success story and I am sure we will realize.

DOING IS NECESSARY ... BUT NOT WITH EGO .... WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS MAY NOT BE 100%. AS YOU WANTED .... IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. WHATEVER HAPPENS IS WITH U AND THE UNKNOWN WITHIN OR WITHOUT YOURSELF.

NOW PRONOUNCE 'I AM COMPLETE BUT INVARIABLY ALONG WITH WHAT IS BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION.'

The Blocking Feature of Twitter

Twitter some time back modified its blocking mechanism which let unwanted Twitter followers re-tweet, like or peer at messages in public accounts of people who block them.

With more and more people hopping on to Twitter, it is Twitters responsibility to safe guard users interests lest they opt out. As I understand many of the users of Twitter and other Social Networks don't really understand these options ad settings. Their sites should put things in simple ways which could be understood even by not so Tech Savvy People

Social Media Access - to what extent?

The Fact that people these days spend considerable amount of their days time on Social media. The intrusion of Social media is quite visible at home, in office and while travelling. Earlier the options were, to talk face to face or to write letters or to telephone and interact. I think people at that situation still did not have that anonymity for free expression. Now Social media like facebook etc. have totally changed the way we behave and socialize in Society. Right and Wrong yet to be researched.

"Internet is an elite organization; most of the population of the world has never even made a phone call" (The Observer Review, 1996).

Recriminalization of homo-sexuality

Let us hear what Designer Wendell Rodricks has to say on this :

"I was very disappointed. But now, I see a silver lining every where. We have been fighting for this for a very long time. In fact as Gay people we are used to fighting this from our youth. Yes, there is a mountain to climb and we will come out shining".
