In Hindu Mythology there are 33 crore Gods and Godesses. If one has to simply recite the name of all of them, it will take him 10 years and 167.44 days (assuming it takes 1 second to recite one name).
Lord Vishnu, according to Hindu mythology is the one who looks after this world created by Brahma and destined to be destroyed by Shiva. I remember my mother telling me that Diwali is one occasion when all the Gods and Godesses assemble in Ayodhya to celebrate Lord Rama's return to his home. She always inspired me to devote my maximum time praying to God on this day coz if some God/godess is passing by, may be if he/she listens to me, he/she might drop in. :-)
Nice naa.......
Evrytime I visit a shrine i always have a list of things to ask from God but whenever I am infront of him I find myself completely at loss of words. I just wonder what would happen if he/she decides to drop in sometime :-)
On this Diwali may everyone is ganted his wishes!!!
Jai Siya Ram ji

Who Was Responsible?
Refrences to this post -

For the last two days, i have been trying to write down this post. But the issue is so sensitive that everytime I start it, I find myself at a loss of words.
Seriously, being runover by a train is not the way I would like to die. Its very difficult to understand the kind of stress Amit was in when he took such a decision. Moeover unless the graphologists analyze the suicide note, I won't deny any kind of foul play either.
Having a fair knowledge of all the things happening out there, every now and then i would ask myself one question - Who do you think was responsible? And everytime I get the same answer - the Parents.
I have seen a similar situation in my house when my cousin brother got enrolled with NIT Bhopal in 95. But the way his father handeled the situation is what I admire him for. He didn't hesitate to write even to the President of India about the incidents which made his son leave the college.
In Amit's case I am surprised that his parents didn't even bother to bring the case to the notice of the college authorities. As far as my experience and judgement of my Alma Mater goes, there are all kinds of people out there. But rationals overweigh.
I have been through all those ragging drills myself. Its hard to be alone out there. During ragging, life is like a pressure cooker with emotions boiling inside. What you need is a small vent to blow them off. A child simply needs an assurance that his parents are always there when he needs them. But it seems that this option for Amit was closed.
I am no psychologist and leave Amit's case to their best judgement. But its hard for me to imagine my present life without the support of my parents. I would surely have been as good as dead.
Amit, May your soul rest in peace!

Check Check Check......
Ohh....
Seems like its working...... Ok. Lights! Action...
Some time back in one of the HR classes I attended, there was a real heated discussion on the pros and cons of blogging. Since then I have been debating that should I or shouldn't I start it myself. Though late but I don't regret that I finally decided in favour. I guess I must thank jam, Chandoo and Govar whose blogs have been an inspiration.
For quiet a long time I have believed that "Whenever you open up your mouth, you let the world look into yourself". But the place where i have reached today, I feel its important to speak, to let others know what you think and what you believe in.
Let me see if I can do some justice to this extremly amazing mode of communication which is almost on the verge of redefining this world.
