A Positive Decline: True Story

A decline at any stage is supposed to be the downfall, but making this downfall as your weakness creates irritation and here comes fiasco and a complete collaspe.
One must has to learn from their lessons and lessons could a win, it could be a loss or it could be a tie where u fell urself at middle of the world. Sometimes life give you a path where only you have to walk and while walking several situations and conditions comes. These all situations and conditions manage by you only i mean only you have to make or even create some way to handle it.
I am telling a true story when there was a boy named "P" who is enjoying his life since 6 years of age and still enjoying but in different way as it was 10 years back. Every body is making fun of him but no body thinks that he could think bad of it, but seems itself a happy and smiling face. He was one of the famous and brilliant in every sense but nobody was able to match his mind and his way of thinking and living i mean principles. Once there was a decline in his life, and he did a great mistake. He was thinking watever he is doing is right and he failed because somebody has crossed him forcefully and unethically but frankly it was not right, it was his overconfidence that was forcing him to think like this.

All is Mind

In order to work with any medium, the artist must understand its nature. Be it wood, paint, clay, chemicals, plastic,animal training, or anything else. Understanding how it will react to temperature, humidity, stress, cutting and any other interaction is vital to making the end product as perfect as possible. The human mind is one of the most difficult mediums to work with because the mind itself has common factors to all minds. We can think we understand it, yet each mind is so individual that one will react completely differently to another in the same situation. All minds can be dealt with the same but only to a limited degree. The analogy is a motorway with hundreds of lanes. Each lane has its own speed limit and road surface, yet all go in the same direction. Before one can start the journey, the vehicle’s limitations and abilities must be understood so the most appropriate lane can be selected.

Woman - A Mystery or Wat!!!


I have had a lot of interaction with the members of the opposite sex and in one sense, i am really mystified. The more I came to know about them, the more i was amazed at their persona. I have come in touch with a number of women, some of them are just girls while others have had a great experience of life. An account of what they face right from their childhood to all the way to their old age, is quite interesting to note.

I know that the masculine gender might feel a bit jealous to read this extolled account, but in some ways, they do have to go through a lot more in their life. Just thinking the way from having to cope up with their regular health cycles, their emotional periods, to all the way up to making another human being in them for nine straight month to managing family and taking care of every person in the family, really makes them special. The way they face all the problems of life, yet have a shining face all throughout. The way they hide all their emotions, yet are full of it really makes them very mysterious! Needless to say that, probably God was also amazed at such a creation.

As a matter of fact, some women I have met have been a real-life inspiration for me. I have a very good friend named 'S'. S had a really tough life right from the starting. She was in love with a guy, but unfortunately, destiny was against her and she had to get married to someone else. Her married life wasn't good and she had to face all its travails. After five miserable years, she opted for divorce with a son. Even after that, she has been through a number of ups and downs, losing people she loved and not getting back love in return. Not to mention the enormous amount of mental trauma she and her family had to face. Still today, whenever i talk to her, i see that same glorified smile in her as though she is totally content with her life. Perhaps she never blames anyone for her misfortunes and continues to live her life with incessant happiness. People like 'S' are really capable of defining the true meaning of life, i.e. Life is short, so why ever be unhappy. Smile, enjoy and make merry.

Then there is this another girl i know, 'A'. This girl really loved my friend but had to leave him because of her parent's wishes. She tried, protested but was never successful. She could have opted to run away with him and have everything what she desired, but she kept her parents' will, happiness and honour in the society before her love. Sometimes, i feel her acts were mean, but then, the truth is that it takes a lot of courage to do something like this. It really takes more than just guts to rip your heart right out and kill all that happiness and i bow to thee.

Come to think of my mom, and how she has faced her problems throughout life and yet been together with the family and taken care of us very well, really makes me love this great woman even more!

I know that guys are nonetheless not weak in any aspect, yet experience has proved it that girls are emotionally very strong in all the matters of life. How they do it, whether they have any secret formula for it, is really beyond my comprehension. But I would re-iterate that they're truely HIS masterpiece. They have their involvement right from their childhood as a sister or friends to being someone's wife one day and then as a mother and grand mother, moulding and nurturing the world in their bosom. I think whoever said it, made a very true statement that "Behind every man's success, there is a woman"

Ladies............ To thou, I salute !! :)

O human! How brutal thou !!!

Sunday morning and I was sitting in a restaurant for my breakfast with a copy of The Hindu in my hands. Nothing special in the papers except some news on elections and some accidents in the local area. However one article that caught my attention was on bears and what sort of cruelty they have to face at the hands of the poachers. Honestly! after reading that, i felt as though all hell broke upon me.

To trap a baby bear, the poachers surround the den with burning twigs , after the mother bear goes out to forage the food. Often they will kill the mother bear and then trap the baby bear, which would hardly be weighing 250 grams. Next, after putting these cubs in a gunnybag, they are sold to bear-tamers, called kalandhars.

From here the next chapter of mercilessness begins...

To control the baby cubs, iron rods are pierced through their noses and then metal rings are passed through them. The bears are then made to learn dancing by beating their feet with sticks, to force them to lift their feet. Often burning pieces of coal are placed under a metal plate and the bear, unable to bear the heat, lifts their feet. At the same time, a dholak or damru is played in time to the lifting of the beer's feet. When the bear tries to rest, the trainer would pull the rope tied to the metal ring in its nose and the bear, to avoid this excruciating pain, would stand on its hind legs.

The living conditions are so pathetic for these poor creatures that it just burns my heart. They are often untreated and neglected. Unable to walk due to the pain in their feet, the open and infected sores in their nostrils and meagre food they receive (which mainly consists of ragi balls) becomes their life. As the bears grow up, their canine teeth are knocked out, claws cut and the male bears castrated with razor blades, all this without the use of any anesthesia, ensuring that the bears have no other choice than to obey their masters.

These poor creatures live in the same world as we do. But their pain and misery, often go unheard. Many wild-life organisations are trying recover these bears, but still the current recovery is very little.

During the recovery process, many wildlife organisations pay around Rs. 50,000 to these kalandhars to give these bears to them. Then they are put in quiet quarantine and fed with nutritious diets to ensure they gain their lost weight. The bears are allowed to roam freely in this closed controlled enclosures to ensure they can get back to the nature. Once they settle down they are injected with anesthesia using blow-pipes, and then checked for infectious diseases. The nose rings are removed, the painful mouths, wounds, rotting tooth stumps, etc are treated and a small microchip is embedded in them to monitor their health.

Once the bears have put on weight and their recovery started, they are placed into 'socialising enclosures' where they are free to roam about in open spaces, make friends with other bears and socialise. Food is generally hidden in bamboo pipes, like honey and dates, which the bear loves. The bears learn to discover these treats. Sometimes, the food is also hidden in 'artificial trees' and the bear learns to shake them and find them. Toys made out of bamboo, rubber tyres, etc help these curious animals to regain their natural instincts.

Certainly, one finds the account to be heart-rendering and one can't forgive the poachers, who were the real culprit of seperating the baby cubs from their mother. The law awards them a minimum two years of punishment for this inhuman conduct.

Even though the number of bears still out on Indian streets is pretty high, yet the encouraging news is that out the estimated such 700-1200 bears, nearly 370 bears have been rescued and are safe at various wild-life sancturies at Agra, Bhopal and Banerghatta (courtesy, The Hindu)
