| Indeed this award can be conferred to a sportsman or a film star, but we need to access theother side of his/her image; what they have done for the people of India, apart from entertainment. Do they have opened hospitals and educational-institutions for poor and shirtless of millions of Indians or they are helping the street-children of India to be...

| SPIRITUALITY vs. RELIGION |
|
|
| I found this posted on the net somewhere and felt it would be a great blog. Spirituality says that God is within us, and that we do not need anyone else to make this particular divine connection for us. Religion says that we are separated from God, and that we need to communicate with and worship this ascended entity in order to make the divi...

| I have always been a dreamer.But, these days I am not even able to sleep properly. A constant irritation itches on in my mind and I know not where it comes from. As a child, our own Doctor Uncle used to point out that diagnosis was pivotal to medication. I somehow found a deeper meaning in those words in connection to our daily lives even when I wa...

| Do you wear Fur / Leather?? |
| We are in midst of the winter. Except for a few places down south, the northern part of our country is pretty cold. Keeping yourself warm in a fur or leather jacket sounds very cozy is it not? Great. Read on. I had received an email from a friend. That email was in Spanish. I couldn’t make the head of tail out of it. But there was a link to an embedded video, which I clicked, not knowing what to expect. (later I learned that the mail was an online petition chain mail.) And then, I was watching the most gruesome video of my life. My stomach was churned and I was almost on the verge of throwing up. My mind a turmoil and I was at my depressive best. Friends, please do not get deterred by my experience in watching that video. I want each and every one of you to watch the video till the LAST. No matter if your stomach churns, no matter if you get depressed. No matter if your mind becomes numb and a mental mess. Still do watch it. Clicke here to watch the Video The fur ads you might see in magazines and commercials portray fur coats as a symbol of elegance and fashion. But these ads fail to show how the original owners of these coats met their gruesome deaths. Millions of fur-bearing animals including foxes, raccoons, minks, coyotes, bobcats, lynxes, opossums, nutria, beavers, muskrats, otters, and others are killed each year on fur farms by anal and vaginal electrocution and in the wild by drowning, trapping, or beating. On fur farms in China , where most fur originates, minks, foxes, rabbits, and other animals are kept in tiny wire cages in all weather extremes. They are strangled, bludgeoned, and often skinned while they are still alive. Since fur is often deliberately mislabeled, if you wear fur, there's no way to tell whose skin you're in—it could even be cat or dog fur. What You Can Do Compassion is fashion! You can discourage trapping by discouraging fur-wearing. When you see people in fur, tell them the facts about trapping; many people incorrectly assume that animals are killed humanely. If we stop using fur and leather products, the manufacturers / sellers will automatically stop manufacturing / selling them. Please have some conscious friends. Please allow the beautiful animals to live too. You value your liberty and freedom so much. So do they. You love to live life. So do they. You have pain when you get hurt. So do they. So why kill? (major inputs from PETA website- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals)
