जयतु भारतम् - On the Eve of Independence Day 2016

Many say 'IT' is the land of crime! Many say 'IT is the land of corruption! Many say 'IT' is the land of rape.......but I say 'IT' is my JANMABHOOMI, my motherland, MOTHER INDIA, which I shall for ever be proud of! Today on the eve of the 70th Independence Day of India, I want to express myself on what I think of my motherland. And please bear with me! It's going to be a very very very long article (because I think you can't express love for anything, especially your county in words) and so I've decided to split the whole article into 3 parts...... and hopefully I can touch all hearts of us Indians! :) All of the topics in the first article will be in small paragraphs with quick write ups... It'll be better if I just stick to this for now and later add up to this.... so for today it'll be just 1 article on India in extreme brief, the second one on Indian religions (I'll concentrate more on Hinduism, just a small note on the other r...

Is Sibling Rivalry a cause of destruction?

Hey again my lovely family, I'm Soups back with a new write up! Hope you'll like this! And as I've said before….please please criticise me if I'm wrong! I still need to Learn a lot! And any extra thing you would like to add on…please feel free :) and if I've hurt you, please please forgive me…I shall apologise from the bottom of my heart. Happy Reading…and a Very happy Vishu and New year to all :) Siblings have a lot to do in our lives. Be it happiness, anger, jealousy or anything…we usually share it with our siblings. Today I would just like to put forth my views on only Sibling Rivalry and not on love between siblings. Our Puranas are a proof to what sort of sibling rivalry and love existed among different creatures of the world. The greatest ever sibling rivalry anybody can think of is that of the Devas and Asuras.
