Who is this ????

The heading of this topic might sound awkward at the beginning, but one would find the deep meaning in it after reading this thought which I had in my mind for many years. Before exactly telling the meaning of this topic, I am going to narrate a small incident which would make the thought even more clear.

There was guy in my colony whose name was George. He used to always be very friendly with everyone in the colony. So once when all the people were having a chat together in the absence of George, there was a sudden discussion why he wasn’t there for the meeting and in the process a discussion started on him by the colony people. Each one was saying how this guy has become such an important person in each one’s family inspite of the fact he was just an outsider in their house and living in the colony for only 2 yrs.

One old person said that actually George had first come to their house as his son’s friend and later started speaking with him and they enjoyed each others company so much that he feels bored in the absence of George. Similarly one more lady said that actually she had met George while both were taking out their dogs for a walk in the evening. Over a period of time she was so mesmerized by George’s manners and his empathetic attitude that she feels he is become a very important person in her life, moreover he has also in the same time helped her husband in his business and brought him out of depression which was due to their 12yr old daughter’s accidental death.

This is you Mr Somebody as Well as Mr nobody as well as Mr Anybody... the game lies in changing it as per the circumstances.

So what did this tell you, that George is some magical or heavenly human being???? Well if you feel that way then you are absolutely wrong because he was just a simple person like us. But the only difference being that he was able to relate things and switch as different persons in different places. It’s as simple as this People love a guy acting as Superman in a movie and they enjoy it, but if someone does the same things on the road it would look strange. Similar is life, we have to switch gears to different phases of life. A person in his life time plays the roles of a child, father, mother, brother, sister, friend, student, teacher and many more…

So it is for us to understand that we have to become somebody and transform to nobody from where we can become anybody. Everything lies in your hand ultimately.

There are vast number of herbs in this world with many medicinal properties. These kind of herbs are in presence from the time that is immemorial.  “Atharva Veda”, ancient Indian Wording, has listed several medicinal herbs name with its benefits. In this technological world people are shifting to medicinal herbs as an alternative for medicines. As medicinal herbs will not cause any side effects.

We use many medicinal herbs in our daily life without knowing its benefits, Listed below are few medical herbs with its benefits:

Neem: Neem is being used to treat all types of skin problems as it has elements with excellent fungicidal properties like Nimbidol and Gedunin. Neem is really very effective in the treatments for skin diseases like  Warts, psoriasis, eczema, scabies and even dandruff.

Basil: It is otherwise called as Tulsi is worshiped in the Indian culture as it is considered to be in the purest and extremely sublime site. It is also very effective medicine for skin diseases, as it is a very good blood purifier and kills the bacteria. Tulsi Tea provides a great relief to inflamed throat.

Turmeric: It is also called as Haldi, is used as a very popular remedy for injuries, infections, accident recovery, boils etc.

Sandal Wood (Chandan): Sandal Wood is a unique Indian origin plant that has a special fragrance. Bark of sandal wood tree is very smooth and the paste from sandal wood tree is used on the body to give a very smooth, shiny and unblemished appearance of skin.

One of the most spoken about and argued topic today is the difference between Spirituality and Science.

In plain terms the the word spirituality tenders to an unquestionable faith in the existence of a super natural force which has created everything and is the reason for everything that happens in our universe. On the other hand Science is quest for the truth which can be proved with valid reasons not based just beliefs.

Both are assumed to be parallel paths which are considered to be against one another. But actually both are path which cross each others paths a lot of times. For example science believes that the universe was created by a big fusion which created these planets and other celestial bodies which is also just a belief in a way. Spirituality believes that there is a super natural force which has created of these. Thus both are a kind of beliefs because even scientific facts are based on theories which are under scanner.

What we realize is that ,either it is science or spirituality both are just a way of life based on the individual’s way of thinking. Let it be science or some supreme power above us both we believe is for the betterment of mankind which is the ultimate goal.

So people stop thinking a lot and enjoy your life when you are here on this wonderful earth.

The biggest and most established menace of our contemporary world, Pakistan itself is now in grave danger by itself. The organizations that it had nurtured to create menace across the world “which was known as their tactical strategy” have turned against them. Today there is absolutely no unity or safety in that country. The country is fighting across three fronts.

- Ashfaq Parvez kayani

- Asif Ali Zardari

- Terrorist Organizations

These three people are fighting against each other in order to establish their supremacy. Gen Kayani who is considered to not respect the Present president and is also against the Terrorist organizations which where initially nurtured by the Pakistan army .

President Zardari is in a desperate position to save his seat and regain power after the support from Nawasherif was withdrawn.

Last but not the least the terrorist organizations like Laskhar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad are in a plan to spread terror across multiple countries. The latest information is that even the terrorist organization are broken up and are not under the control of a single leader which was established during the Mumbai terror attacks when the terrorist killed many foreigners and Jews which was against the policy of the Laskhar.

May god save this world coz if these militants get their hands on the nuclear weapons which Pakistan possess it would be a great danger to the whole world.
