know our own games....

India is said to be the part of most ancient civilization . People here use to entairtain themselves playing different games .India has a set of its own games for different people …

Much earlier possibly ,people played marbles ,with small balls made out of clay and out of real marble.Again we don’t know rules .but probably one version where you take tossing the marble at a goal and another where you take turn shooting the marble within a circle drawn in the dirt,trying to get them out of the circle. Another type of game was played with wooden hoops and sticks,either tossing the hoop up in the air or rolling the hoop along the ground pushing it with the stick .

 Games like chess snake and ladder ,playing cards and polo had originated in India.chess originated in ancient India and was known as CHATUR-ANGA meaning four bodied.from this name we have its current name SHATRANJ.The Mahabharata story throw light on the fact that game similar to chess was played in ancient India dated around 800 and 1100 BC.

The game of playing cards was also one of the favorite pastime of Indians in ancient times .this game was patronized especially by the royalty and nobility .In ancient time the card game was known as KRIDAPATRAM and  in middle ages it was known as GANJIFA.Cards were called KRIDA PATRAM were made of cloth and depicted motifs from Ramayana and Mahabharata etc.

Ancient India claims to have been the origin of Judo and Karate something similar to Karate was called KALARIPAYATE.This art form seem to have traveled from India to countries of far east with Buddhist religion .Unlike Judo karate Kalaripayate do not allow the use of lethal weapons.
Women also excelled in sports and art of self defence ,and were active in games like cock fighting and quail fighting .With the flowering of Buddhism in India archery ,Chariot racing ,and hammer throwing got popular .In Villas Manjri Tiruvedacharya described many of these games in detail.

So we should be proud to accept our own games and spread them thru generations….

No more black friday please....

Professor R.S.Sharma writes “Ayodhya seems to have emerged as a place of religious pilgrimage in medieval times. Although chapter 85 of the Vishnu Smriti lists as many as fifty-two places of pilgrimage including towns ,lakes rivers mountains etc. ,it does not include Ayodhya in this list.Sharma also note that Tulsidas ,who wrote Ramcharitmanas in 1574 at Ayodhya does not mention it as a place of pilgrimage.
This suggests that there was no significant Hindu temple at the site of the Babri Mosque.
Mir Banki general in charge of Babar came to Ayodhya in 1528 and built the mosque destroying the temple.

The biggest problem for India’s national unity and integrity in the twentieth century has no doubt been what Indians call “communalism “the political conflict between the religions, especially between Hindus and Muslims. The most conspicuous communal bone of contention in India in the years 1986-1990 has certainly been the Ram janmabhoomi Babri Masjid issue.
The Babri Masjid Demolition of December 6 1992 wreaked havoc across India. At a glance it was just a violent communal episode in itself. On deeper analysis, one finds that the seeds of the 1993 Mumbai riots and the 2002 Gujarat mayhem lay here. It was also politics at work which lead to the eventual demolition of the mosque.
This Friday’s expected Judgment in the case is widely feared to cause frictions. Everyone is fearing that the verdict would disturb communal harmony and lead to violence…

When people can advocate schools and parks at ground zero Than why shouldn’t we in India not forget communalism and make the harmony between the two religions ?
As prosperity is there in togetherness so hope all Indians stand up together as on the day the bomb explosions at Mumbai or any other such incident on this Friday …
…..Please no more BLACK FRIDAY’S for my country………….

The common wealth game

“The 19th commonwealth games will begin -- if last minute safety and security concerns can be sorted out -- in New Delhi ,India’s capital, on Sunday 3 October “the guardian newspaper’s headline can define the trust of  the UK and other nations in India .That is because a footbridge collapsed ,injuring 23 people today near the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium with 60,000capacity at  Delhi.
Security and corruption are two major issues ,with doping by Indian players and flood being other concern for the Indian whose hard earn money is being wasted .
There is a section of people in India who advocate for non organationising these games here as they glorify the British raaj days .
CWG can be called congress /Calmadi Wealth Gaining ,as it has been dragged into lot of corruption charges ,the opposition party in India has estimated  Rs. 30000 carore .A CBI inquiry is already under process.http://vodpod.com/watch/4148221-more-corruption-in-commonwealth-games-2010-india

So what is suppose to be India’s moment of glory is turning into the country’s hour of shame .

Vrata ...fasting ?

“Vrata” or fasting for a cause ,should we or shouldn’t.vrata means pledge for mankind .by fasting we come to know suffering it keep ourselves away from sin. Scientifically fasting retune and cleans our digestive system .
People in ancient days have associated this scientific rule of fasting with religion so that more and more people keep fast at least once in an year and remain digestively healthy .however fasting is not only religious it is also an instrument of self discipline .it is a training for mind and body to live under hardships
All religions have some or the other ritual where the follower “fast“. like in Hindus festivals like navratri karwa choth ,poornima and so on ,whereas in Muslim community “roza for a month “Christians fasting ritual “teens fasting” while Jainism follow a different pattern for fasting called “santhara”.every community have set a different level of hardship to be followed for their vrata or fasting ritual.
Now a days it has come from a matter of dietary control or religious ritual fasting has come to be a handy tool of societal control. It is a non violent form of protest .Mahatma Gandhi was among the ones who used fasting to capture people’s attention..

.....a good night

Good night………… is it a blessing by others .Nights are meant for rest ,in this world where stress is too high a good night begin at different time for different person .For a fun loving person at metro night begin after a party where he can drink to forget his stress of a long tiring day .
A study by Philips electronic India in December 2009 found out that sleep disorders affect an estimated 93 per cent of the Indian population .We need a good sleep to keep us going ,because that is when our batteries get recharged .our brain uses the time when we are sleeping to store data that is relevant .its like a hard drive of our mind.
To ensure a good night’s sleep some of the tricks are like
1 taking a shower before going to bed ,
2 reading a book before sleeping
3 praying or meditating ….and so on.
In this world there are people who never get a sound sleep as they are not properly fed ,for them a sleep with stomuch full of meal makes a good night .so for those who want to get a sound peaceful sleep and a jubilant day to follow they should work for the betterment of society and needy ones .

why do they say......

people say ………
Love all the creatures created by god.
But they themselves hate dogs and donkeys .

Praise everyone and everything you like.
But they never praise our neighbour.

Respect the nature and time .
But they smoke and wake up late .

Pay attention to your sorrundings.
But they spit and piss on road .

Do your work on time .
But I never got my dues on time .

Than
Why ……….do they tell?
