About Religion

In this very short essay, I will try to define what religion is. I do not know what religion is. I am trying to interpret the message linguistically. Let us imagine that, "reli+gion=religion". The dissection of these two terms should mean something. The suffix is 'gion' that might mean the path of guiding principles. Let us assume that it means some path and the doorway of that path. In short, religion is a path towards greater morals and greater life.
Back in the Stone Age, people were very simple. They knew not the tips and tricks of today's society. Everybody was in win-win situation. Therefore, some wise intellectuals among those communities and groups formed some morals based on truth. They might have given such morals the name of religion. As part of our evolutionary process, the younger generation became more intellectual and the older generation became outdated. The wide range of gap between intellectuals of future seeking men march on to form group and the other outdated group formed another group. If we would imagine that these two groups became two different religions then we can see present generation with lots of religion.
Every religion should be in the favor of humanity. If any religion is not in the favor of humanity then that religion will collapse automatically. As news and media bombard us, there are many debate and crap stories about religion. We talk a lot about Hindu, Christian, Jews, and Muslim religion. It is not the matter of faith or believes to seek or suggest which religion is better or worse but it is the matter of our sorting out intolerant behavior with tolerance.
The core difference between two highs does not make one low. Each and everything that we do, think and perform is based on one religion or another. Our daily habit is a religion. Our daily behavior is another religion. Our daily lives of doing this and that could give rise to one religion. Religion is not only based on the virtue of God or gods. We cannot change anything if we cannot change our thinking. We need to re-think, re-consider, and re-evaluate the morals of our very religious societies.
Let us imagine that God is watching and he is supreme commander and chief of all the religions that we humans have created on this blue planet. Let us imagine that he is watching our daily activities, if by chance he would ever consider visiting this land. He would laugh-out-loud at our childish games as if a father laughs when child seeks for toys. Anyways, it does not matter what we do and what we think about religion because in his/her/it eyes, everything remains the same. God listens through the atomic door of love. We just need to keep that door open with love. Otherwise, we might just kill each other someday for absolutely nothing. Stop fighting and start loving.

Bhaigiri


I am not majoring in Democracy and Social science but I would like to provide you some pointers on why democracy is not suitable in our country. First democracy has been established in the notion of free society, freedom, and liberty. Everybody has rights to say and do good deeds under the law. It has many advantages but each advantage also comes along with disadvantages. When there is more number of parties and everyone is willing to show that they are the best ones, it becomes extremely difficult for ordinary people to judge that one is best for us. We choose Maoist party but what happen to them. They seem to fall and rise and they are not stable enough in their own rights. Similarly, the other parties are not very trustful. In our Nepalese society, an autocratic rule works well. Now, I can see some eyebrows raised. This is because under one rule and regime, it would be easy to dictate and govern people.

Frog and toads


In a small pond, there lived a frog and thousand of toads. The frog was the leader of all the toads and whatever the frog decides, everyone obeyed. Today, we live in the similar situation. The frogs are the politicians and the toads are all public. All the public obeys to what frog decides and says. This is not how democracy works. In democracy, a person has power to choose and decide who their politicians would be.

While reading the recent debate on Terry Jones and burning of Koran (the holy book of Allah), I think there is a big frog running the business and whatever they are saying or doing is carefully obeyed or listened by the general public.

The religion is very sensitive issue to touch and talk about. Everybody has some religion. Everyone follows one religion or another. Nevertheless, the question is not what religious beliefs or faith you are indulging yourself into; the question is why big fat politicians have to mull these issues. The ‘Islamophobia’ and ‘Chrisitianophobia’ is running the entire show on this earth.

It is extremely difficult to understand why these phobias affect deep in our society and culture. When someone is burning something; let them burn. Do not be stupid! In the end, everything will be burned and there will be nothing remaining. If someone does not understand, your religion of their own religion then let them not understand. We humans are like child asking chocolates from the God. The God is curiously watching over our actions. He knows that these humans that are fighting over smaller things like this; are not moving towards greater path. He knows that these humans are like a small babies crying for a toy or just trying to get his/her/it attention.

The ordinary public are puppets of worthless news. Do not change your actions based on what these preachers suggest you to do. Be firm on your action and do not easily believe what they say. These people are playing a bigger game that is very hard to understand by an average mind. An average mind cannot easily grasp the fact that there might just be a religious fight for forthcoming World War III.

What is sex?


What is sex?
An unknown pleasure
Or, known ecstasy
Love or lust
Life or death
Sex or mixture of lusty nights
And dirty talks deeds
A sin
Or, lifelong lasting experiences

What is sex?
Long-term relationships
Commitment, sacrifice, doubts
Fear, lie, or intermingling of
Two body and two souls
Mingling of two thoughts
Into one single thoughts
For the common goal

1.      Never in history Finland was without sauna and the present generation is too lazy to live without it.

2.      The words that I echo tonight will be the words of our ancestors; upon there grave as I stand up and deliver their names.

3.      Everything and everybody is governing something and somebody.

4.      If a friend to me is friend to all then a friend to all is not a friend to me.

5.      If poetry was ever to be understood, wouldn't it be called poetry, would it?

6.      We come here / for some purpose / and whatever that might be; let us sort out / our differences / our ancestors has piled them behind.

7.      If I am not well and you are well then where is an oil in the well ?

8.      We are all great thinkers but not great lovers. Romanticism floats like a waves in an ocean but idealism sinks at rock bottom.


9.      I am fully satisfied with my life, let me sing you, the last song tonight.

How to Impress Your Professor?

Your professor is your guide, mentor and friend. He is your only guru who will give you and your work, a nice ride. He will take care of your research and evaluate your work every time. Alright, let me stop writing nice words about professors. They are busiest people in the world.
Some even claim to be too busy when they are not. Therefore, you should understand that they do not have enough time for your research. However, they will be extremely happy when you will show them results. They really love results.
By the way, do not forget to give them credit in each and every work you perform. Even if they have no time and energy to provide you any 'input' for your work, you just have to 'add their names in publication and other results'. So, keep this in mind that you must credit them for no reason. Not all the professor(s) are 'spin head', some of them are extremely good and they provide good evaluation of your work.
Alright! My essay on 'how to impress'; let us say, there are few points you should take into account.
1. Always show more than you really do: This simply means to present yourself as an active student even if you remain passive at your workplace.
2. Always 'butter' them: By 'buttering', you can get close to your professors. Try to hang-out with them, play games and visit public places; become more personal towards them. The more personal friend you become; there is better chance that you will get positive treatment at your work place.
3. Lie more: Yes, the more you lie to your professor the better impact you will have on them. If they will give you some work and you are not ready yet to complete it; just lie and say that you are sick or something.
4. Print more material: Print lot of references and put it in your work table. When professor visits at your workplace( at rare occasion they will eventually) show to them that you are working extremely hard to solve your research problem.
5. Make Library: This is similar to point 4. Get books from library and arrange at your shelve. This will show that you are busy reading lot of books.
Now, you are ready to impress your professor! Good luck!

Q&A

Question:

Question

They say men are from Mars and women from Venus, but the fact is they both have to co-exist on Earth. Where do you think men and women fail in understanding the other gender? How do you think can they meet mid-point in a relationship?

Replies

The central idea of Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus is absurd. Philosophically, it is true that these dual beings are different and there is no point in magnifying the differences. The so called, "elites" and "wise" people whom we address as, "they" are most of the times either marketing their product or idea in the mass market. In the core level of relationship: mutual agreement, compromise and balancing act matters most. There is no difference in one single variable. The difference exits when there is two. The failure of understanding comes not from one side but from both the sides. Men think Women are mysterious whereas women think men are mysterious. In general, nobody ever has understood women simply because women are not a creature which can be understood but an instrument of love. These two meet only for the common interest. When they have some common goal to be achieved they meet. The common goal could be: dreams, career, life long togetherness and so on. However, whatever has been or written about women in literature, art and movies will be said afterwards. The world is changing and so is the relationship climate in different places and countries. Some wise man once said, "To love is easy, to be in relationship is extremely difficult." Maybe the wise man is right. 
Thank you !

Why Finland?




First and foremost, I am grateful to the owner and CEO of this website who have given me an opportunity to jot downs few pointers for those who have decided to pursue academic career in the country of ‘fifty thousand lakes’. Well, welcome!

My article is entitled, “Why Finland?” Despite so many countries and  highly acclaimed professional institution in the world, you have decided to visit Finland (Tervetuloa—welcome in Finnish).

There are always two sides of the coin. Let me discuss some positive side of visiting Finland. In my opinion, you have made very good choice simply because there is no hurdle for paying tution fee.  While studying many students find extremely difficult to maintain work and life balance and when you get free education then you do not feel too much burden in your shoulder.

If you are a person who likes the Nature, then you are far more then welcome. You will defintely love this place. An extreme showcase of the Nature is displayed only in the Finland. I can rest assure you that if you haven’t found the God yet, you will discover only in Finland.


The ‘beautiful lakes’ and the ‘silence’ are two great combinations. Early morning, when the sun rises from the East and the light of the sun falls in the Finnish lakes, it feels as if you are living in the heaven while you are on the earth.

Okay, I may sound too poetic now. Let me tell you some bitter facts. As a International student, don’t expect too much. It is not an easy task to visit foreign country and study. However, it is good practice and every one highly recommends it nowadays. One must share the diverse cultural background and the experience which are vital for human existence. One simple fact is about jobs. It is not easy as it is not easy in ecomonically downtrodden soceity. Today, each and every country is facing this problem and Finland is no different. Many Finns are having difficulties to get back to work so don’t expect too quickly to get a highly qualified jobs. If you are lucky then you may discover some ‘orthodox jobs’ such as cleaning and paper delivery among others.

Let me come back to the topic, so you have chosen to visit this beautiful and peaceful land. Let us do some fact check, very recently the Newsweek magazine rated Finland as the number one country in the world.  Among 100 countries around the globe, the magazine analyzed and declared that Finland is the best. Many factors were taken into account for such analysis such as quality of life, quantity of life, ‘economic dynamism’, ‘political environment’, ‘education’ and ‘healthcare’. But don’t be baffled by what newspaper and magazine has to say. These days they print whatever they want. This doesn’t mean that I am suspecting their ranking, this simply means that you should better come and experience for yourself. There are lots of problems created by humans for the humans and the solutions are dew yet.

The problems of discrimination, racial problems and ‘internal or external conflict’ are everywhere. The least you may experience in some places and more; in another. If you are popping up from Asian Sub continent(Nepal, India, Bangaladesh, Srilanka etc) then please do your homework for great ‘cultural shock’. If you happen to visit from Europe then probably, you may experience some extremes but with minor changes in the climate among other things. If you are visiting from America and similar places, then you may discover lot of similarities with your own country.

Finland is riding high not only world’s number one country but also on ‘the planet's best food security’ country. The food is good. In Finland, don’t forget to experience Finnish food mostly potatoes (Peruna in Finnish).

Alright, Let’s come back again to topic, “why Finland?” There are lot of good things you may do and you should do while you are in Finland and there are lot of bad things you got to know before coming to Finland. Therefore, I recommend you should use ‘Google brother’; it knows lot of things which we don’t know, in our era of the ‘digital change’.

Learn about your instituion; your professor; your visiting city and develop habit of reading.  Once you have done quality background check then surely you will encounter lesser suprises. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to visit any places or country. And do not forget to share your expriences with friends and family. With social media on rise, I don’t have to tell this anymore.

The Bill gates vision for ‘information at fingertips’ has come alive. Each one of has information at our fingertips but quality information can only be found at rare places. Hence,  the most important lessons for student like you and me; BE TRUTHFUL.

In summary, its your choice and nobody has rights to judge on your personal choice. Not even the God/gods! If you have chosen to visit/study/live in the Finland then there are lot of empty places here to be filled. Let me share with you what one professor used to say while, I was in my school. “You will never know what you are doing until and unless you have done it.” Therefore, write your own story from Finland.

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

Words that everyone once used are now obsolete, and so are the men whose names were once on everyone's lips: Camillus, Caeso, Volesus, Dentatus, and to a lesser degree Scipio and Cato, and yes, even Augustus, Hadrian, and Antoninus are less spoken of now than they were in their own days. For all things fade away, become the stuff of legend, and are soon buried in oblivion. Mind you, this is true only for those who blazed once like bright stars in the firmament, but for the rest, as soon as a few clods of earth cover their corpses, they are 'out of sight, out of mind.' In the end, what would you gain from everlasting remembrance? Absolutely nothing. So what is left worth living for? This alone: justice in thought, goodness in action, speech that cannot deceive, and a disposition glad of whatever comes, welcoming it as necessary, as familiar, as flowing from the same source and fountain as yourself. (IV. 33, trans. Scot and David Hicks)


When you wake up in the morning, tell yourself: The people I deal with today will be meddling, ungrateful, arrogant, dishonest, jealous, and surly. They are like this because they can't tell good from evil. But I have seen the beauty of good, and the ugliness of evil, and have recognized that the wrongdoer has a nature related to my own—not of the same blood or birth, but the same mind, and possessing a share of the divine. (II. 1, trans. Gregory Hays)

They say


They say that I was born today
and I don’t know what that means.
They say that I have to go school
and I don’t know what would I do.
They say that I have to earn money
and I don’t know what should I do.
They say many things
and I don’t know anythings.

Maybe life is puzzle unsolved.
Maybe life is a rollercoaster ride
between love and hatred.
Maybe life is dream within a dream.
But I still don’t know
Where will it all lead
Anyways, I just have to live each
and every day and do what they
say.

Maybe I just have to think
What they think was always right
and do not interefere their insights.
As we all know they are the ones
Who create rules and we are
Ordinary people living on them.
Whatever they do affects entire
Humanity but they don’t know
how to play safe.

They say many things
and I don’t know if they misleading
us in some way.
Let this saddest song be sung
Near their corridor
So that they will find solutions
of all our problems, someday !

Fuck

After Friedrich Nietzsche declared that "God is Dead" - the word FUCK has become the most important word in the English language.
