Trip to Paris - Conclusion

As Confucius said - wherever you go, go with all your heart.

In this trip, i have lost my heart to Paris. Dream of climbing up the Eiffel Tower came true.

But Paris is not just Eiffel Tower, it has so much to offer. I have started admiring the art, in-fact, i am now obsessed with the Art. Art speaks where words are unable to explain. I want to go again to Musee du Louvre and see all the beautiful artwork, which I was not able to see. Not only to Musee du Louvre, I also want to go to Museum of Modern art, Musee d'orsay, Opera House and many more places.

Is it an illusion or real world - II

If you live in India, you often have heard from your spiritual leaders / Gurus that this world is " Maya ". But if you ask them what exactly is the Maya, they will just recite some versus from some religious book and leave you no where. I have been contemplating this for a while and came to the answer that Maya is nothing but what other people make you feel / believe. For example if you watch all the Harry Potter movies many times over a period of time, you tend to believe that Harry Potter is real. You might even search for "Hogwarts" school on google. But this isn't real, it's just a fiction created by 1 person which makes you believe it's real. I will call it as it's her Maya that makes you believe that Harry Potter is Real. So, if one person imagination can make you believe of something which is NOT real as Real than imagine the power of existence, who created us. It's that power which make us believe that we are living in a real world...

Is there a true love?

Last night a friend called up saying she want to discuss something. I went to her place and she was crying. After sometime, i asked her what happened? She said - her love story is now ended completely. I asked her, to tell me the complete thing to which she said, they had a bad fight and now its all over . I feel very happy that finally its over but still to make sure, i asked her - Is this story finally over or is it that after some days you will start cribbing again about this guy?

This guy treats her very bad, even say bad words which otherwise you dont say it. Still this girl does not listen or want to move on but want to stick with the same guy. Strange thing is - many girls fall in love with those people who are either already engaged/married or who dont treat them nicely. I happen to ask ...

Other Aspect

I always wonder how people create perception by looking at only one side. How our society impose things upon us, even when they themselves do not know the other side of the story, or perhaps they dont want to know. We often say, every coin has 2 sides then how come all these things/stories have only 1 end, which have been shown to us. Is it that the other end is more painful? Or is it that it will reveal the true color of their " Heroes "? I would like to give few examples: 1) Every Year, we burn the effigies of Ravan, Meghnath & Kumbkaran. Reason is, coz Ravan kidnap Sita, wife of Ram. But we often forget that it was Ram & his Brother who first humiliated Ravan's sister. All she had asked Ram was to marry her. Well, I dont see any wrong in that, not sure how many of you will see this as a wrong thing. I mean she had just " Asked " him to marry her. According to one south indian scripture Sita was ugly and was not beautiful, whereas Ravan's ...
