The Dilemma In a Terrorist
In Feb 2005, I watched a Tamil film in my college, named The Terrorist. The film was regarding a 19 years old girl, Malli. She was a trained killer and involved in the assassination of Indian prime minister Rajiv Ghandi.
Film begins with the killing of a person by Malli and police firing scene and showing the courage of Malli. Then the film develops on the grounds of showing some common life of the terrorist community and how the training goes. Malli was chosen for the assassination of VIP by the supreme of the terrorist organisation. Malli was pleased to be chosen for the task as she remembers her father's and brother's sacrifice for the motherland and becomes ready for the task.
Meanwhile one fine night, when police firing was going on, she saves a wounded young man from police firing and got involved emotionally. The very next day, when she goes to seek some help for the wounded person, she finds him caught by police and sees that he takes a tablet of synide to save himself from police.
The first time in her life she realised the emotional part of her life and she had to sacrifice that. She was sent to India through jungles to accomplish the task. It is shown that slowly slowly she realizes the enjoyment in life apart from terrorism, to which she never came across before. Meanwhile she realises that she is pregnant and feels happy. But to accomplish the task she had to sacrifice her unborn baby. The dilemma she had to face between her life and death was beautifully covered. In a way it was the death of her emotional life as well.
It was a hard movie to be accepted. Such kind of dilemma can be experienced by anybody who is shown a specific goal since childhood and is not given/got much exposure about life's different dimensions which are equally important. It might not be necessarily related to a terrorists life or a woman's life who is not able to give birth to her baby. For such dilemmas people need not be a terrorist. At one point of life such people might face such a dilemma between their trained/ restricted life and normal flowing life. Life must be like a flowing river which (overcomes) washes away all the obstacles and dilemmas in the way and could be able to live to the fullest.
Begining of the End
It was quite late when I returned from my office which was at another end of the city. Everyday I used to cross the whole metro city (Mumbai) to reach to churchgate from Kalyan. I was fade up of this everyday hardship and wanted some peace. That night when I entered in the premises there was some starange atmosphere. I saw much crowd at the parking of our building and everybody was whispering something. I crossed the crowd to find out what has happened but couldn't understand. I heard one of my neighbours was talking about my wife. I started listening carefully. He was saying, "It is really a great shock to Mrs Shekhar. She has to bear this shock. Nobody can say what will happen at the next moment. Nobody can give any guarantee of anybody's life." Still I was confused and felt that I must go and ask my wife. I went on floor. Many people were there in my house some of them sitting, standing. All of them were discussing similar thing. Nobody was ready to look at me. I moved further and saw my wife and son were sitting beside a body covered with white cloth. I couldn't get the face so I moved a bit further and saw that it was my deadbody. I was shocked. How it will be possible because I am alive. I tried to tell my wife but I realised that she was not in the mood of listening anything. I saw my close friend Jayant standing near telephone and making calls. I could succeed to reach upto him and tried to ask him but surprisingly he was looking towards my direction but couldn't see me. I tried to talk with a few more people gathered there but I couldn't. I realised that I became a soul and nobody is able to see me. By the time I came to know that while returning from the office, I was dashed by a fast taxi and I died on the spot.
It was amazing to see, how much people think about you when you are dead. I saw a couple of persons in our building who used to abuse all the people all the time, talking good things about me. My body was taken for cremation. My 12 years old was asked to perform all the last rituals. I was worrying how he will manage all the things as he was so young. I was worrying about my wife that how she will manage all the loan which we have drawn from SBI recently for our new flat. Though I was feeling lighter and lighter, my heart in my arial form, was found to become heavier. I saw my wife was trying to call Jayant regarding selling of our new flat as she wanted to pay the loan which we had drawn from SBI. I screemed her name. I found I was in the bed and my wife came running from the kitchen and asked, "what happened? Did you get any nightmare?" I realised that it was a dream and I am sweating. I felt releived to see myself alive. I couldn't answer to the questions of my wife and got out of the bed to start my new day. I was thinking, yes, anything can happen anytime. I might be thinking this as a start of a new day but every new day might be a
begining of the end.

Making of a Science Student!!
Albert Einstein when asked what he would say to science students, replied without hesitation
I would advice them to spend an hour every day rejecting the ideas of others and thinking things out for themselves. This will be a hard thing to do but rewarding.
An Illusion
We all learn through experiences. Unfortunatelly, we cannot use the acquired knowledge through experiences in our life. This is because, as soon as we become ready through learning we have to dissappear from this world. And this is the real illusion.--------------Swami Vivekananda
Counter Argument: If it is so, then what do we do till we die if we don't use our experiences?? Is it really possible? or This itself is an illusion!!
Just do it!!
Relax and concentrate on the four small dots in the middle of the picture for about 30 to 40 seconds. Then take a look at a wall near you, or any smooth, single colored surface. You will see a circle of light form. Blink your eyes a couple of times and a figure will begin to emerge.
What do you see?
The End
The End of the prosperity is the downfall of it!!
The End of a collection is the distruction of it!!
The End of every union is parting!!
The End of every day is a night!!
The End of every happiness is sorrow!!
The End of every life is death!!
Prayers
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference
