Ramayana in the Modern World

 Ramayana- India’s Vedic ancient story has its depiction in the Modern world, one such scene from Ramayana which reminds me is the Scenario, when Rama is sent to Exile and when Bharata is asked to sit on Throne of Kingdom of Kosala, Ayodhya being its capital to Rule the Kingdom, He refused to sit on the throne, as for him his eldest brother Rama was the most deserving of the throne and then what he said to his mother Kaikeyi , shows his greatness, Is he not the eldest of us all? After death of Father is it not his right to sit on the throne, to be the King? Is it proper for a younger brother to covet what belongs to his elder brother as matter of right? My only duty is to obey his commandments, to serve him and assist him. Saying this he left to meet Rama in forest, to ask for forgiveness for what his Mother had done and to bring Rama back to Ayodhya. When he met Rama both wept on their father’s separation from the worldly life. Rama guided Bharata and told him how to rule the Kingdome. Bharata took Rama’s sandals saying he will govern under their auspices. This particular scene shows and teaches us what a brother’s love is. What selflessness is and what purity of relationship is.

Modern World:- There are a lot of controversies that are happening around us, and every individual only sees the part that media shows us. Media plays an important role in public opinion making. However it takes an eagle’s eye to find positivity inspite of the controversies. One such situation I would like to bring out for attention is on Shree J. Jayalalithaa, who was the former chief minister who has an amazing ability to convert her staunch critics and foes into long lasting friends. Indians know her as AMMA. As J. Jayalalithaa was found guilty in the assets case, she was forced to resign. Several people committed suicide to show their grief of AMMA getting punished. Somewhere this reflects the love of the people for the ruler. In Ramayana, When King Dasharata was on his death bed, the whole Kingdome grieved. When the new chief minister Mr. Panneerselvam was chosen to sit on AMMA’S seat, He exactly reacted like how Bharata did in Ramayana, he refused, and only after Jayalalithaa convinced him to take her position, and he said he will govern until AMMA Returns. Before taking the oath he took Amma’s blessing too. This real life incidence shows the beauty of depiction from our ancient Indian stories. It shows that there is some teaching in every aspect of life. It is only upon us, to realize.

Outside the rims of morality, sanity and reality, there is a ground in the universe that is beyond time and space, I will meet you there. Where the day never ends and where the night is always fresh Where your lies won’t matter and my love will not fall short Where intentions and preferences are people  And where the only work to do is spread happiness Where humanity is a bit more human  And where everyone embraces your imperfections and flaws gracefully Where silence will be louder and actions don’t need to act Where nobody judges you or your ways Where everyone adores you for who you are Where curses turn to boon and blessing are given to all Where rainbows are not overturned and where rainbow resembles dignity Where scepticism, greed and pain don’t exist And there is no entrance for animosity Where you get coffees filled with passion and pursuit  And where everyone has their own sunshine in the veranda Where sunshine’s are nothing but pixie dust filled with benevolence  And where ev

In Frame: Shubhashini, Abhyarthana, Janice, Kira, Priyanka P, Priyanka A, Sheril, Dipali, Komal, Dhara, Jaivika, Anandpyari, Mihika, Ruchie, Swati, Dhruva, Sigma, Sneha No, you do not qualify in the standards of how and what the society describes and means beautiful. Some say it’s colour. Some say it’s figure. Some say it’s height. And for some, it’s flawless skin or hair. Some say getting married, others say lasting marriage, some say being a mother is beautiful. Guess what you are none of the above mentioned is true. Absolutely none of them. And till today it did not seem to be a problem because you were good at other things like being talented, independent, being courageous and kind most of all having a heart! Well, at least that’s what your parents said to look for in everyone else— to look for kindness, love, compassion and forgiveness. Until today when an Advertisement made you want to question about yourself— your looks and your confidence. When a TV actress you

Star Dust

Everyone says we are made up of sand and clay.  But what if the truth is unknown to us?  What if we are made up of the ashes and dust of the stars, And we are here on earth to learn how to shine, So that when we return back to nothingness, We know how to twinkle. And probably then we might realize that it's just the beginning of a new end.  Everyone says we are made up of sand and clay.  But what if the truth is unknown to us?  They say soulmates are made in heaven What if it's true?  What if soulmates are the ones that have some essence of the star ash that you were made up off?  What if you can only fall in love with someone who has an identical spirit of that star ash?  But then, in that case, why do we sometimes forget to live and love ourselves?  Everyone says we are made up of sand and clay.  But what if the truth is unknown to us?  And we just don't know it yet...  Everyone says we are made up of sand and clay.  But what if the truth is unknown to us?  Oh, what if it
