All is in my control :)

Its a depressing phase it will go away!
hold your hands tight to calmly pray!!

thank the lord for what he has given you!
don't blame him as he has lost something too!!

i am born to give , not think of what will get!
because time never stands by, it always sways!!
just like the bells blown smashingly to display!!!

see the shining stars which enlightens the dark sky!
with the lone moon pretending to smoulder up the way!!
my naked eyes are holding them still !
to see if any corner is not left to pay!!

remember a thing and make it a mistake!
as man is prone to commit one day by day!
that i never fall in i will always play!
the ball is in my court, where else will it stay...!!

Magic and Civilization, Part-1

Human mind is always allowed to perpetuate with the mysteries of the unknown. Ages have passed, logics are fought to be proven true but the invincible world of sorcery and magic helps us to dream endlessly. General observation says that science is the history of life’s existence and history is late Science where magic plays a bridging role. Yet the reality of magic is a resultant of manipulation, manifestation and preservation of the evidences. And believe it or not, we are a part of it.

I am not a historian or a scientist who can clear out the uncertainties which are impossibly unobtainable. But i undoubtedly am a hungry crusader who has started off her voyage to explore the beginning of the supernatural human connect. And no other than Egypt, the mother magician of all civilizations tops the list. The Egyptian mythology is counted amongst one of the most prosperous and profound empire of its time. We know this mummy age well by the Pyramids (architectural wonders) and thePharaohs(ancient Egyptian rulers of all period) like Osiris, the Scorpion King,Akhtenaten, Tutenkhamun et al.

Dr. Zahi. A. Hawass, a very famous Egyptologist has spent his life in the desert to dig out the facts of the period which has led to many assumptions. Assumptions as in a link between God, religion and magic. The paintings, the inscriptions and mummifications speak up for the fact that the Egyptians were appealers. And appealing to the favourite God was considered to be a ritual under the consideration of religious performances. Whereas the consequential reply of God was again considered to be magical, irrespective of the fact that it could even bring misfortune. They robustly believed in Omens and wore Amulets (an object that protects a person from trouble). Another form of practicing magic was Necromancy, the summoning of dead spirits. For an instance, mummification where bodies of the dead Pharaohs and people belonging to the royal families were preserved with food, water and every essential substitute for their comfortable journey after death. Death was ambiguous as still is but they lacked in technology which is always acquainted with logic.

Egyptians were quick in labelling anything as a noteworthy magical work or someone as a remarkable magician. They believed in documenting the supernatural knowledge as it brought them closer to their gods. The kings were claimed to be magicians who had a direct connect to god. Unfortunately two powers couldn’t form an accord and it is said that god seized the magician king’s control reminding him that he is a mere mortal creature, just like others belonging to his regime.

No standard collection of Egyptian myths have yet been discovered. What exists is the testimony from the Hieroglyphs, the divine words from funeral writings which can be found inscribed on the royal sepulchre. Magic was never a questionable affair for the believers but with the rise of other civilizations, the branch of bizarre believes got bifurcated. A sect of non-believers rose who denied magic to be an existing thought. And this is how the story continues.

People and the Forest Act(India)

Estimation is never a matter of chance when at the top of the green-land hovering satellites are instructed to do the digital data collection. . These collected data define a forest land as an area more than 1 hectare extent covered with tree canopy content of 10 percent and above. But how well is this definition justified in our country?

In the year 2006 the government came up with the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, well known as the "Forest Rights Act", the "Tribal Rights Act", the "Tribal Bill", and the "Tribal Land Act. This one emphasized on the protection of the forest dwellers regarding their settlement process and their sustenance.

The forest habitants had been the victims of the atrocities caused due to the former forest law which majorly constituted of the “protected area” concept. They were forced to vacate their lands and weren’t even handed the compensation amount. Kanu Sayal of Madhya Pradesh is one such example who had to loose his wife as he had no money to treat her and no home to live. Many areas in Orissa were declared to be protected without any survey and the residents were forced to flee. Negligence of the dwellers brought in numerous ill-fated consequences in many states of the country.

We are even seeing protest against the new law. Populace has come up with the point that the law will result in massive forest destruction. The dwellers will use the resources without a sustainable flick in their minds or the other way round.

Implementation is again a matter of chance, as the same people sit at the grassroot level who used to be there years ago. The act is on the paper but it again needs time to be jolted away sincerely. The unanswered questions are dependent only on the speedy accomplishment of the law’s norms.

Divinity...bifurcated!

"Hail almighty! We the minuscule mortal creatures are all his creation!" these were the words of a famous priest of Banaras, Ramanand Tiwari. He resides in this holy Indian town and is a worshipper of lord Vishnu. Besides him stays Mr. Narayan, an atheist who says that God resides within everyone's heart's premises. He supported the famous saying in Hindi, :Man Changa Toh Kathauti Mein Ganga,” which means If we are pure from the inside, we will attract the positive energy spread all around us which always is equal to divinity.

For an instance take the Egyptian culture where kings were worshipped as God. No one knew if they really had those healing powers, but the historians do talk about the forceful implementation of their worshiping as God by the common people. Take any religion; Hinduism, Christianity, Islam, there are names which are worshipped. Majority of the population is drifted away by this main-stream wave.

We have another group of people who can be classified as the intellect lot, according to the assumption. Kudos to the rest, this group believes on only one thing, the inner soul or the aura within. They with their increasing knowledge have stuck to the point that each one of us have those powers which are Godly. We need not search for divinity in temples, mosques, churches but we should configure our inner souls according to our needs. The same as lord Buddha did in the BCE’s.

None of us can challenge the believes but atleast it can be explained in words. Bifurcation is yet an opinion, which can again vary from person to person. Ideally speaking, finding the aura can be chosen with different plan of actions. What matters is where you end up everytime.
