                                WHY I DO NOT BELIEVE IN A GOD My earlier posts on god and religion have shown my mistrust on there being a god or not believing in it. Well I have my reasons for not believing or hating a god and it is not something that I do to stand out. Well this time I am going to give you my reasons. Firstly, the image that has been created of it makes it seem like a big egomaniac. The image of it according to me is such that he needs to be constantly be praised for being our creator or in order for it to do something good for us. This makes me think that he created us just to have someone stroke his ego. Some might say that it is us who do this and God never asked anything from us. Then why do we think that praying to him would do us any good if he does not have an ego. He would always remain impartial and we do not have to constantly pl...

 (All facts were obtained from Wikipedia and not made up and the facts are copied from there.)                           FEMALE FOETICIDE AND DISCRIMINATION India has always been thought as the country were sex-selective abortion is prominent. It is the place where females are considered trivial in comparison of males and are killed when they are just a foetus. It happens due the fact that a certain but a big portion of people, believe females to be inferior to males and would not be able carry their lineage forward. We are considered to discriminate by gender even in today’s “modern” time. In addition’ these thoughts are of the very people that live in this country but is it the only place such vile practice happens? The answer is no that might seem like an untruthful answer to many but is the reality that maybe most people will not know about. In countries like the Republic of China, Pakistan, USA, Southeast...

                                                         BEING FAIR In today’s time wherever we see people seem to have developed certain fondness for having white and fair skin. The fondness for being fair is largely renowned here in India. Everywhere fairness creams toothpaste for fair teeth and such absurd things are being advertised and even promoted by celebrities in order to attract more customers. In addition, these products are not only made and marketed for women but also for men. Many people even buy these products and believe being fair is to be beautiful. It is strange to see this kind of situation where earlier being tall, dark and handsome was a priority for men to attract girls and women whose dusky skin is the admiration of the entire world. These days even a small hint of duskiness is considered not to be beautiful, only ...

                                     LOVE AND HATE                    “Innately, there are qualities in human beings that are always repetitive.               There are things like love and hate and jealousy that are going to be there forever.”                                                                                                       Shiloh Fernandez Love and hate are the most pure and intense emotions that a human being is able to feel. These feelings might have existed since the ti...

                                 RELIGION-WHAT GOOD HAS IT DONE?                                         “ Religion does not make man                                                   But man makes religion” So after some time I am back to my favourite topic of God and wherever there is god there is religion. The saying above says that man makes religion but in reality, we make a person’s religion to be important then the human. There are, many gods available with them many religions are also there. Some of the well-known religions are Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Jainism, Hinduism and many others and many sub religions are there. Most of people on our planet follow some rel...

                                  Rape- Are women always the victim? Whenever we hear or read the word sexual harassment or rape in somewhere the instant thought that comes to our mind is that some man or men harassed a girl or forced her to have non-consensual sex. We always assume that only men can be capable of doing such despicable, disgusting and horrifying thing and women are always the victims. Even news shown anywhere only signifies this fact. However, is it really the whole reality? Well it is not. Firstly, it is not always that only a male can harass or force someone. A woman too can do those things. Whoever might be reading this will think that me being a guy I am trying to vilify women by accusing them of doing something like this and making guys seem like a victim. In reality, it does happen but we do not accept this fact because it seems unnatural and also because no cases as s...

                       MONOGAMY- Does It Really Exist? Monogamy by common definition means having one partner at a time or having feelings for just one person at a time. It is considered to be very important in any relationship be it marriage, live-in or in couples. It is considered that when you are in love or like someone that it is wrong to have even feelings or fantasy or have even a slight attraction towards someone else. If you are with someone, you can just be with him or her in every sense. In marriage, it becomes more important as you vow to love your partner until death does you apart. It also becomes important due to the fact that if the society finds out you were not monogamous your standing in it would be lost. To be monogamous in your relationship means, you are truthful and respectful to your partner. Well according to me, monogamy does not exist as many people think it does. It does sound like a nice i...

                                 PORN- Why is it a Taboo? Porn and sex has always been a controversial or a taboo subject to talk about. We cannot talk about them in front of our elders or we may have to face their wrath. We are uncomfortable to tell that we watch porn to people we are in relation with to be not be labeled a pervert or something else and jeopardize our relationships. In addition, girls cannot tell their friends they watch porn as it is not socially acceptable and people are sure to ridicule them or think about them in the wrong and same is the case with guys. However, why is it such a taboo in our Indian society? The main reason may be the conservative mindset of our elders, which is carried on by the younger generations. We are not even comfortable to even utter the word sex in front of our parents as it makes the situation uncomfortable  as most find it weird talking a...

                            Our Need to Depend on a God One thing has remained a constant in people’s lives for a very long time and that is an Almighty or a God, whatever works for you. Since our childhood, we have been told about it and taught what it is.  We are taught that it is a guy or sometimes a girl who used to be on earth and fought evil and won.  Well not every story is like that but the same thing happens. Now they are living in heaven taking trips to Earth sometimes mostly in Indian mythology.  In addition, they are our Creator, different for people of different religion, and make decisions for our lives based on our actions. We pray to them every day and thank them to please and bribe them in doing something good for us. It keeps tab on us every single moment of our life and on so many people that is truly remarkable. We are told that if we do something wrong it will punish us so we sh...
