<p>Before starting Mahabharatha sage vedvyasa challenged that &#8220;whatever is there  in this book ,will exist  in the world, and whatever not there in this book will not exist in the world&#8221;.It seems to be true.Another challenge is that mahabharatha can be empathized by anyone.A gambler feels that mahabharatha is full of gambling.Pandavas playing dice ,and under the interest of gambling they went to the extent of dragging their wife in between.</p>
<p>A armyman and a warmonger can take the idea of kurukshethrayudhdham ,and empathize with all the present missiles and satellities with brahmashtra,gandeevam and padmavyuha strategies.</p>
<p>A feminist can take the example of draupadi and argue the importance of woman in society</p>
<p>A student can take the example of arjuna and ekalavya learning the art from dronachrya.</p>
<p>A dalit leader can take an example of castediscrimination from karna being denied praticipation in competition of warfare as he was not a kshatrhiya.</p>
<p>A romatic person can take the example of all that happened between subhadra and arjuna ,marriage os sasirekha ,and love of sathyabhama on krishna and empathize with it as a gr8 romantic drama</p>
<p>A politician can see the dynasty politics,caste politics for crown  as an example to grab the crown.</p>
<p>And the list is never ending and exhaustive.It takes into it all professions,castes,generes of drama into it and u cant and never judeg mahabharatha into a genere.It is a romantic,detective,thriller,scifi,drama,tragic,comic,comedy,moralistic kind of book ever written in history of the world.You can find a sherlockholms,a shakespere,a wordsworth,a sydneysheldon,a jkRowling all mixed in one.mahabharatha has all the evil in the world like love,lust,money,kidnapping,drugs and much and many more</p>
<p>What i can say simply is i love mahabharatha for what it is ,may be it is not idealistic,yet it shows all the evil that can exist in the world and also shows the way to get rid of  it in a very complex and confusing phenomenon.What rajneethi movie does is the same.We get confused of the line between good and bad,It makes you think and anlyse</p>
<p>But many perturbing doubts remained in me.</p>
<p>whats the real meaning of chastity of a woman ?</p>
<p>And what exactly is dharma?</p>
<p>These three questions may look simple but deep under them there lies many loops.</p>
<p>How can a gud person like karna face a tragic end in war.How can pandavas and Lord Krishna representing the side of dharma win war against kauravas in adharmic way,teling lies about ashwaththma,making ghatothkacha end his life,abhimanya having a sad demise.All the charachters in mahabharatha from kunthi,parasurama,indra to Lord krishna  did a gross injustice to karna in all forms.I feel soo sad for karna.And at that while dhuryodhana and all go for heaven yudhishtira went to hell just for one lie about ashwaththama.Confused again</p>
<p>But yet the hard lesson  to be learnt  is even if you are gud you will end up in troubles if you take the side of  wrong people.and sometimes  right people should tread the wrong path to win against evil.It may be right to take wrong path sometimes but the effect of it will never leave you and you have to face it.</p>
<p>The other confusion on chastity.What exactly draupadi convey to present day woman.She is bold ,beautiful and daring as present day woman.</p>
<p>Mahabharatha might look simple,yet its a very complex book.This epic truly tells that dharma or laws change with time ,What is right yesterday may be wrong tomorrow and absurd after sometime.Only certain laws like nonvoilence ,honesty and truth are universal,but the laws of our custom,culture etcc change with time.And with time and age the line between good and bad becomes thinner and more thinner.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few days back i have seen a head line in Times of India newspaper &#8220;hindutva verdict on local missionary schools&#8221;.</p>
<p>Started to read what exactly the matter behind.It went on to say that hindu girls studying in christian missionary schools were not allowed to keep bindi or wear bangles,so as the local municipality is under bjp and shivsena they passed a verdict that hindu girls should be allowed to keep bindi and wear bangles.</p>
<p>I dont know about others view on this issue.But i dont feel hindu girls keeping a bindi is any unsecular act.Does the same people say not to wear burkha to local missionary schools for muslim girl students.They are not forcing anybody to keep bindi.It the right of every hindu girl.why do indian newspapers depict simple issues as this as an hindutva verdict.it seems every verdict supporting freedom ,if it includes hindus it turens into an unsecular act.</p>
<p>The meaning of secularism in India is &#8220;Anyone who are against hinduism and its values and principles&#8221;.karunanidhi says ram is not god ,i dont want to say anything.Thats his view,So why cant he go to the same media and say prophet or jesus i snot a god.He is afraid of backlash.Politicians bravery increases 5 times if it is something against hindus.</p>
<p>And the newspapers started keeping such headline and intentionally creating a lot of insecurity among minorities.No one knows the value of headlines.In this fast paced world people just see headlines and willnot be interested in details,So anyone can misunderstand the situations existing in India by just seeing the headlines</p>
<p>our Indian newspapers should learn a thing or two from chinese.Our headlines consists only cricket and corruption and all the rubbish,never a constructive one.Recently vishwanathan Anand won chess worldcup and mainstrea newspapers easily missed thatone.No respect for a consistent winner.He was just shown in a short column in sports section.But when it comes to Dhoni, whether he plays or not he will be in headlines.Gossip about Ipl and all the gup and gas always matters.</p>
<p>If the content is right headline will wrong,if headline is right content will be bad.Dont know really when our newspapers and channels stops misdirecting people and indulge into  a constructive and useful criticism of bad happening in society.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hmm,,Everybody in the state r in a dilemma whether telangana comes or will the state be united??</p>
<p>Why these serious discussions??I just want to give a futuristic view and a funny analysis of what KCR will do is he becomes CM of seperate telangana?Its pure fun and not to hurt anybody or any region.</p>
<p>1) Film industry&#8212;If KCR becomes CM he will start a &#8220;<em>Film revolution of telangana act</em>&#8220;,So all the movies like sankarabharanam,samarasimhareddy depictiong andhrites and seema people should be banned in halls.And &#8220;ERRASYNYAM part2&#8243; should be started.HE will attend the audio release of the function.All the movies like samakka sarakka,osei ramulamma should be seen.May be more movies like osey seethamma,osey kanthamma etc&#8212; should be started and telangana governemtn will give 100% tax exemption for the movies.</p>
<p>2)Family issues&#8212;&#8221;<em>Telangana remarriage act</em>&#8220;&#8211;This is for all the telangana citizens who married either andhra or seema people to atonce take divorce.Telangana government will give job to them and additionally spend 1 lakh amount for their marriage.</p>
<p>3) &#8220;<em>Andhra and seema settlers act-ASA1 visa</em>&#8220;&#8211;It is to be noted that all the andhra and seema people staying in hyderabad should leave immediately,otherwise they should pay some extra tax called asiya tax(like jijiya for non muslims in aurangazeb rule),They should have work permit for 2 years only,To get the work permit they should pass a test called TOTTFL&#8212;(Test of Telangana telugu as foriegn language),,The more URDU words mixed in it the more points u will get,There will be coaching centers allover hyderabad for that.</p>
<p>4)&#8221;<em>Sports authority of Telangana act</em>&#8220;&#8212;Presently many sports personalities from andhra like koneru hampi r representing andhrapradesh.It is to notify that they will continue representing Telagana,They should immediately leave and come to Hyderabad and learn telangana telugu and live as telangana people.</p>
<p>5)&#8221;<em>Telangana Uniforma act-1&#8243;</em>&#8211;This is to notify that all the telnagana guys staying in hyderabad  wear  black shawls like GADDAR &#8216;.THis is mainly to discriminate regions,so that in future if TRS people  wanted to attack ANDhra and SEema people,,they can know who is who ,This is purely meant for the safety of telangana clan.</p>
<p>6)&#8221;<em>Telangana fencing act-1</em>&#8220;&#8211;This is to notify that a big fence like a china wall will be built to stop infiltration of Andhra and seema people into Telangana.This is to protect sovreignity and integrity of telangana people and their unique culture.</p>
<p>This act will revised and based on the necessity a few more acts will be updated soon&#8211;:)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After trying my hand in making upma for the first time a year back,,i stopped cooking..Do u know why?I forgot to add salt in upma..And my dad seriously waned to never try again.Many hate upma, i dont now why?,but my mom always says upma== UPPU+AMMA(means salt with mama&#8217;s love).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Anyway this time with a pakka plan i started making Dal,,my favourite cuury.May be all know how to make dal,but i want to describe another dal ,&#8221;fondly called Menthipappu&#8221; in telugu&#8221;.IN this type first we should heat 3 teaspoon full oil ,then add mustard ,then dhaniya, 3 red dry chillies and Menthulu(main ingredient in telugu symbolising name).the fry for sometime.Add 1 small glass full dal.Then 2 glasses of water.After gettng boiled add tamarind pulp then remove after 5 to 10 minutes.Menthi dal is ready now.</p>
<p>Difference between menthidal and common dal is,for  first one we heat oil at fist only and then add water and dal ,But for common dal we boil dal then add the fried mix later to it,the second is we dont add menthulu(i dont know english name of ths ingredient) in common dal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-90" title="659209_girl_in_thoughts" src="http://soumyasiva.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/659209_girl_in_thoughts.jpg?w=550" alt="659209_girl_in_thoughts"   /></p>
<p>hmmm,,After a complete and absolute dissatisfaction with my job ,i went into a deep thought into the process of employment in India..Leaving a nice paying job is never an easy task,,full of insecurity about future..Then finally leaving all thought behind i left the job in the middle and started my train journey back to my home town.</p>
<p>Taking my train alone at phagwara in the evening , landed in delhi at around 11pm, and my cell in roaming, i have to wait there till morning and reach airport by 7:10 to hyd.Exactly i became alone in nations capital city and thought of women&#8217;s position in society in olden days where parents never allow them to go out even a distance of half a km.Then landed in hyd .I called my friends .Some are working in office till 10Pm.</p>
<p>Can balance of personal and proffessional life easy when we work in a private sector job??For what we are earning money ?We earn money to give a good and decent life to our loved ones.But what is then necessity of money if we just become money making robots and loose contact with our loved ones,and we dont even have time to spend with them.One day after working for 10 years if we see back our life we feel disgusted at the enoromous emotional psychological support we lost in course of earning ..Any person in life must need stability zones.Stability zones come in the disguise of parents, relatives and friends.Whatever problem we face they will be ready to help at all situations and ready to spend their time for us even if they get some monetary loss ,or loss of time.</p>
<p>I started counting my stability zones in life ,,ie counting on people.we all know service to man is service to god. So i feel counting on people is counting on god itself .It is through these stability zones that god will alwasys remind us that there is somebody in this world for us,ready to do anything for ,and without them our smooth run of life is impossible.</p>
<p>All our acheivements ,anything we earn is impossible without their contribution in our life.Ofcourse anybody do get success by his own hard work ,,but it is absolutely impossible for us to reach our goal without them.We may feel that we are just getting a small favor from them,but we never weigh or understand the greatest value of their emotional support ,or of confidence of having somebody which matters more to reach our goal safely.</p>
<p>Getting back to hyd.I need to take a bus at 10pm,but due to repair bus came at 12,,and my best friends were with me till that time even tough they have offices the next day.They i counted them as my stability zones after my parentss..This jouney taught me one thing that in life even if u r crowded with people u will be alone if u have no one to count ie no stability zones,,,,and even if u may alone sometimes u can never feel loneliness till u have best frns whom u an count on&#8230;.and always often we under estimate the power of a simple touch ,a smile ,and a helping hand which might have turned our life around and helped us to reach our goal .We became absolutely over confident of our slef esteem that we forgot the contribution of many people in our achievements</p>

<li>The act of convoking.</li>
<li>A group of people convoked, especially the members of a college or university community who are assembled for a ceremony.</li>
</ol>
<li>
<ol type="a">
<li>The district represented at such an assembly.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<p>Academic dress:</p>
<p>&#8220;The academic dress found in most universities in the <a title="Commonwealth of Nations" href="http://soumyasiva.wordpress.com/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Nations">British Commonwealth</a> and the <a title="United States" href="http://soumyasiva.wordpress.com/wiki/United_States">United States</a> is derived from that of the universities of <a title="University of Oxford" href="http://soumyasiva.wordpress.com/wiki/University_of_Oxford">Oxford</a> and <a title="University of Cambridge" href="http://soumyasiva.wordpress.com/wiki/University_of_Cambridge">Cambridge</a>, which was a development of academic and clerical dress common throughout the <a title="Medieval university" href="http://soumyasiva.wordpress.com/wiki/Medieval_university">medieval universities</a> of <a title="Europe" href="http://soumyasiva.wordpress.com/wiki/Europe">Europe</a>.</p>
<p>Formal or sober clothing is typically worn beneath the gown so, for example, men would often wear a dark suit with a white <a title="Shirt" href="http://soumyasiva.wordpress.com/wiki/Shirt">shirt</a> and <a title="Necktie" href="http://soumyasiva.wordpress.com/wiki/Necktie">tie</a>, or <a title="Clerical clothing" href="http://soumyasiva.wordpress.com/wiki/Clerical_clothing">clerical clothing</a>, <a title="Military uniform" href="http://soumyasiva.wordpress.com/wiki/Military_uniform">military</a> or civil <a title="Uniform" href="http://soumyasiva.wordpress.com/wiki/Uniform">uniform</a>, or national dress, and women would wear equivalent attire. Some older universities, particularly Oxford and Cambridge, have a prescribed set of dress (known as <em>subfusc</em>) to be worn under the gown.<sup>&#8220;</sup></p>
<p>Getting a degree in convocation is really a nice experience,,throwing those hats and all the fun ,, we all classmates are really waiting for the convocation ceremony of  our college on august 16th.But this time our college professors decided to change the convocation dress code to cotton sarees for girls and dhothi for guys.Listening to this we got frustrated.The idea of convocation with coats and hat and throwing them up the air and having a snap  fixed in our mind as an experience of lifetime .Listening to the change in dress code first i thought of not attending the cermony at all.</p>
<p>  Then after some time i tried to understand the thinking of our own professors.In our daily life we do have certain preconditions that this should be like this and that should be like that.We dont even think once to be different.As many graduating convocation ceremonies in west follow the procedure of coats we too started them .All we do is just following or copying them and feeling its the only way to do the things while we as an ancient country do have our own traditions and culture which are equally meaningful and good.,,</p>
<p>Seeing the meaning of academic dress i posed the question myself &#8220;Why should we follow an academic dress that shows our colonial past  if we have our own rich culture?&#8221;.This thought  ignited my mind ,Yet many of us may not accept my view ,but i can&#8217;t miss the convocation day.An all Indian Styled Convocation in IIIT-H&#8212;-Going to be there on august 16th friends ,,Never miss the  fun in college,the golden days will never come back.End of college life is the start of monotony,,,Missing my Campus life   <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />     <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />    <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>My next friend is pooja form cse.We were first to join there.She is from gujarath.We used to talk about all the stuff academics ,then about gujarath and all.i was seriously searching for atleast one classmate and in admin block while giving the certificates i came to know about sowjanya.We both were in 3rd floor .We enjoyed a lot in first sem doing all the assignments ,searching library for books.Then a whole set of assignments every week  and this time i got to know dinesh and raghu.I always used to bore dinesh ,i used to talk much and irritate him.Then again combined studies with them in theory of elasticity in lab.</p>
<p>The biggest luck is that our seniors used to be very freindly,especially deepthi and balaji.they instilled gr8 confidence and positive attitude in us.I still remember the teachers day fun where our senior javed called Prof vekateswarulu sir as venky  in a fast speech,,we all laughed at it.Then sir saying us to stay for 6 hours in lab,then we protesting the decision,its all going on in my mind these days .all the 2 years went off just as some 2 seconds.</p>
<p>Cant forgot how we used to sleep in programming classes,all the jeevan vidya by our prof in the middle of classes,and we listening to all of it.Goin a local train for mrudhulas sister&#8217;s marriage.Forgetting my books ,keys and all ,mailing to student mails,the fun of student mailing,one student mailing that he has seen some colored snake in football court and some replying them askin gfor its lenght ,breadth ,height and species.Playing basketball with harsh,padmini,sourav and amit.Always behind coffeeshop ,and wlaking in late nights in cool breeze and greenery ,its all fun ,Watching 3 movies a day form dc in a group.Caught by sir when watching a movie in lab.I miss all the great fun over here,,,and i still wonder how these days went,,hope all my frns and classamtes go to gr8 position in life and always stay happy ,and hope all of them stay in contact with me.</p>

or you get what you need but not what you want&#8230;<br />
but you can&#8217;t get both&#8230;and thats what&#8217;s really hurt&#8230;a poem on reality of life</p>
<p>Placement season  starts in december.This is the day iam waiting for to fullfill my ambition.First time when i got the offer letter to join pg  i really felt happy that iam going to be placed in a wellknown compnay with a gud package.But recessiion came unexpectedly.Then i started thinking why me?Just a year and a gr8 change and despair surrounded our batch.</p>
<p>Atlast one company came i didnt get thorugh it .The same day a university came for placement with a decent package.But now i went from one state of despair to another ,now i cant attend a company as i got this.It is not the money  everybody needs but with it u need a job which suits ur interests ,ur ambition ,ur attitude.Here god fullfilled my need of getting a decent salary but not my want of a job that i truly love &amp; that i enjoy.People started consoling me that teaching is a cool profession and enjoy it. but what i need is not consolation ,i need confidence ,will to prepare and boldness to take a right step which i can get only from my self and from nobody else</p>
<p>I listened somewhere a story from a saint.One day a person calls u &amp; say u r gud ,gr8 ,understanding and lovable .then how we feel ,we feel very happy ,another person calls u in the morning and say to u that ur selfish ,bad,so whole of ur day u feel bad,Means the key for ur happiness is with others but not u.So ur not depending on urself and ur happiness is externally generated and u are allowing others to manipulate u.So a real happy and gr8 person is the one whose happiness is internally generated.whose state of mind doesnt depend on others analysis on him,who dont care for others opinion on him,who tries to change and tries to be gud at every point of time rather than thinking of others ideas and misunderstandings on himself.</p>
<p>some  questioned me the use of joining pg in an institution if atlast what i get is a teaching post?Institutions main aim is not only placement,it has many things.Institution is not accountable to recession and it cant be made answerable to downfalls in market.I got many things from my institution,being bold enough,decision making which i lacked before,freedom,enjoyment ,education along with  a branded and valuable degree instilling a confidence for me to survive in any part of the world.</p>
<p>so atlast god fullifilled my need but not my want.I dreamt of a cool corporate life.but i got a cool academic job.Cool job in a corporate sector is a myth.Callenges and development in an academic job is another myth.but one can make a myth a reality.so i will try to  work 100% for what i got whether its my need or my want .But only thing that makes me wonder is god is so great towards me .He fullfilled my need and now its my turn to fullfill my want.</p>
<p>.A job is everbody&#8217;s need.But a particular type of job is called want. so after thinking much about the clash between need and want ,I got a doubt that Should a person take decision based on his need or based on his want??,A person can become succesful if his need and want are same.So make ur need ur want,convert ur need into want and ur want into need.And nobody can beat u in this world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nehru as the <a title="Prime Minister of India" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_India">Prime Minister of India</a> on 15 August delivered his inaugural address titled &#8220;A Tryst With Destiny&#8221;:</p>
<p>&#8220;Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance. It is fitting that at this solemn moment we take the pledge of dedication to the service of India and her people and to the still larger cause of humanity.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sometimes whenever i read the above i feel greatly inspired.But i feel disgusted seeing some peoples opinion and the political scenario that we as citizens of the country have forgotten completely the ideas and ideologies,i feel sorry sometimes that many dont even share or not even aware or sense the feeling of nation.We are completely struck by inferiority complex regarding our nation.The unity which our country men had when kargil occured is missin gnow,this is more evident form mubai attacks and after that anthulay&#8217;s conspiracy theories,I felt ashamed that as citizen of India when a serious issu happened why our political class lacked the unity and responsibility ,Never in India&#8217;s history after indepence i observed such a widespread disunity among people of India when a calamity of such a cost occured</p>
<p>Indian government and also indian citizens are lacking the willpower to cut the meance of terrorism ,we became such an easy goig people that bombs and terrorists activities became a dialy activity in India and we learned to live along without wihtout showing any signs of anger</p>
<p>wistonchurchill predicted on the  of  independence day of India that &#8220;India will  soon it fail as a democracy&#8221;.But still we managed to be the worlds largest democracy surrounding the unstable n auotocratic southasian nations.Whats the real cause of Indias success as a democracy and whats the cause of its failure???i tried to answer this question now</p>
<p>Our first success is Hindu majority people who r very much politically disinterested and whose memory is very less.They know that ayodhya is a birth place of lordRama.And nobody even r interested to know that baburkilled thousands of hindus and demolished temple and built the babri masjid with bricks dipped in hindus blood.But no histroy textbook tells that.WE wanted to make our people ingorant forget the past and we just see tajmahal as the glorious history of mughal rule and make films like jodha akbar showing an entirely different Akbar.We show tipusultan as a gr8 warrior who fought against britishers but historians buried the fact that he demolishes temples and killed priests.but present genration know him through the serial in national channel that he is a great secular hero India.We became so easy going people that even tomorrow if kashmir is taken by somebody we feel it as fate,and think that it is karma and everything happens for a reason in philosophical way,We just want MS degrees from usa,a green card.pruthviraj chauhan won 17 battles against mohammad ghazni,but he didnt kill ghazni and pardones him,18th time he lost ,and he was ruthlessly killed .And it became a starting pointing of first foriegn rule in India.WE never care about tactics happening around us,We just care our education.</p>
<p>Parents think a 100 times to search a groom for their daughter but not even a second to cast a vote.How can we take so light a person who is goin gto rule us with our tax money,If u choose a wrong person as a son -in- law only ur daughter will suffer,if u wont even vote u r making the whole society to suffer</p>
<p>Indians lack foresightedness and political will.They became so much individualistic that they stopped thinking for society.They blame everything on India and its society.But never even think a second that they have neighbouring countries who dont even have freedom of speech and freedom to vote and no freedom to have entertainment and even listen to music.WE should be grateful to our nation for giving all this.Every citizen should question what he did for India.</p>
<p>But after seeing the things happend in india after mumbai 26/11 i feel we r going away from our aim and not even in its vicinity..We forgot our history of 200 year of mughal exploitation and another 200 years of british exploitation.We r a wounded civilization.If present youth make the same mistake of our ancestors and take everything as easy going and karma we will land again in the rule of terrorists.India needs a patel and bose now ,we dont need a gandhi &amp; nehru now .We dont want to freely give our nation to be further wounded by terrorists.</p>
<p>We the youth of a country need another pledge to make ,another tryst with destiny.not only for the sake of India but world security.While nehru&#8217;s dicovery of india showed its multi cultural society ,its unity in diversity ,so the invention of india by its youth should start,&#8221;&#8216;</p>
<p>&#8220;the invention that erase the complexity of votebank politics,the invention erase the divisive caste politics.the invention to erase the appeasement politics,the invention to get back the ethics in politics,the invention to change the attitude of our fellowmen.The time comes when a nation need to decide itself the path of its future ,the time to get a sudden change and revolution in its old practices and ideas,the time to start a new ideology to reinvent the flame of patriotism in the fellow men,when the world is in chaos,it should decide to show the light towards the right direction,can we as citizens make it again which we mad ein 1947??,or else we will remain as a vulnerable ,soft state remaining as a viction to terrorism like ghazni&#8217;s attack on delhi 17 times,,,pls stop the Indian annexure to ghazni,the only thing the citizens should do this time is to vote for a right party,so vote this time tactically ,not foolishly&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-57" title="6885270" src="http://soumyasiva.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/6885270.jpg?w=550&#038;h=342" alt="6885270" width="550" height="342" /></p>
<p>and stop ghaznis rule in India&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-51" title="knowing-yourself" src="http://soumyasiva.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/knowing-yourself.jpg?w=550" alt="knowing-yourself"   />This one phrase enchanted me many times&#8211;&#8221;Knowing about myself&#8221;.Its really strange whenever people  say i am knowing about myself. I used to feel strange .Whats there exactly in knowing about oneself?If iam me i know me and whats there exactly in knowing myself if iam what iam.And many times i questioned iam doing things, so if iam what iam what else is there to understand about myself.I am doing everything with my free will and the reason, which seems to be good to me and if i really understand what iam doing then what else is there in knowing about me?</p>
<p>But after a few days i really came to know that i dont know about myself exactly,i cant understand myself ,i cant control myself,i cant do what i like eventhough i like to do something else,many times i did something unconsciously,after few days i was unable to give proper reasons for my actions.I thought i have freedom ,i have free will.But i dont have these things. what i felt i have r not there for me,I am bound with many things in my heart and mind,barrier is regarding my mind and heart.When i started searching myself i came to know new things,i came to know mistakes,i started observing myself ,my surroundings ,my actions, my reactions to various situations,i felt i could have been different,sometimes i felt iam gr8 ,i behaved exactly how i should be.But many more number of times i behaved exactly the wrong way.</p>
<p>Then i started questioning &#8220;If really i myself am not doing what i exactly wanted to do and what exactly i like then why others will do what i like?&#8221;.This one question if we genuinely ask for ourselves i think we can solve many problems we get through our life.If we cant control our mind why we try to control others mind.There are many invincible thoughts in our mind if cleared we can really conquer the external pressure.</p>
<p>&#8220;To be nobody but myself in a world which is doing its best night and day ,to make me everybody else means ,to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.&#8221;Its not only the most difficult thing to know one&#8217;s self,but the most inconvenient.I can say something ironical said by  H.jay.Dinsah.&#8221;Man must get this thoughts ,words and actions out of this vast moral jungle.We are not predators.We are ,hopefully,more than instinctive killers and selfish brutes.Why take such a dim view of our potentialities and capabilties?&#8221;.Just start observing inner thoughts one day we will come to know.</p>
<p>One constant thing we have to do in life is we should always learn,with life comes wisdom and with wisdom comes the courage to live our life selflessly.The more we know and learn about ourself and the experiences surrounding our life the more opportunities we have to make our life better and more fulfilling.</p>
