GOD does Exist!

Following is a story of A man who went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and varioussubjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God,the barber said: "Idon't believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.
"Well, you just have to go out in the street torealize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would therebe so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imaginea loving a God who would allow all of these things. "The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop.
Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkeept. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber."I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked onyou!" "No!" thecustomer exclaimed."Barbers don't exist because if they did, therewould be no people withdirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! " answered the barber. "What happens, is, people do not come to me. "
"Exactly!"- affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES Exist! What happens, is, people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."

God n Me

When in tranquility I wonder what is life, answer comes from deep within: Life is God. The relationship that I share with God is of an eternal love affair. God for me is my beloved, with whom I can share all my secrets. Even in isolation I am not alone since God is always with me rather within me.
At this point, one might ask, "aren't we supposed to 'fear' God?" Yes... but can "fear" exist in a relationship that has transitioned into one of pure love? I often communicate with God who guides me like a true friend.
I have started on my journey with God as my companion.

I love travelling!

I love travelling! Oh, really? Do I? Forget about adventure trips, I am talking about my regular journey from Delhi To Noida which calculated by one of me colleague turned out to be over 45 kms . Wow! that means I travel around 100 Kms everyday. It's been around three months since I got this job in Noida otherwise I would have never met such "wonderful" crowd in DTC's "well- maintained" buses. Behanji turned mods babbling non stop, filthy men trying to be oversmart, aunties trying to make themselves comfortable (being ignorant if someone becomes uncomfortable ) , all this makes my Journey all the more interesting. Now what can I say except " I Love travelling"

Why just one Environment Day


"Save trees, trees save", truly said but not done.

Everytime we encounter anti- environment elements we start cribbing, but has anyone of us taken the initiative to decontruct the barriers in making the environment pollution free? The answer is "no". We celebrate Environment Day with proud considering oneself a responsible citizen. But now I wonder why just one day? Why cann't we do the same everyday? I know this will be disturbing for those who consider themselves as environmentalist but isn't it true that rest 364 days we don't even think of planting a single sappling.

Why just talk about green environment, we should also consider about conserving other resources. So, let's take a pledge to make ouselves proud by loving nature and fall in eternal relationship with it.
