Song of God

When I was kid, my mom used to tell me Ramayanam, Mahabaratham the great epics of Hinduism. As a kid, it was fascinating to hear epics as bed time story. One thing, I got interested from those epics is “Bhagavad-Gita” (Song of God) from Mahabaratham. But i still believe both of these epics are myth and superstition. Bhagavad-Gita is holy book for Hindus, like Bible for Christians, Quran for Muslims. Hinduism mainly deals with the way of life, even though Hinduism discourage war and violence, these two main Hindu epics are based on wars and to tell drawbacks of wars. One is between Ram (God) and Ravanan and other one is between cousins with one side got support from God Krishna.

Song of God is the series of advice from God to Arjunan, one of the main characters from Mahabaratham, who is in war with his cousins to reclaim his country, which was lost by his elder brother because of gambling game between cousins. During the final phase of war, Arjunan lost interest of war and he realized that what is the point of fighting with his own cousins, what is the point killing each other for land. His charioteer God Krishna started a conversation with Arjunan to change his mind for war. These dialogues are called Bhaghavad Gita. For some it may see as illogical or meaningless, for some it is the meaning of life. In my opinion, this is one of the best subset from these epics. This is excellent source for self-realization, boost will power, self-esteem and self-confidence. I’m sure that all religion has same or similar concept.

The essence of Gita as follows (Please check at http://www.asitis.com/)

Whatever happened, it happened for good.
What is happening, is also happening for good.
Whatever will happen, that too will be for good.
What have you lost for which you weep?
What did you bring with you, which you have lost?
What did you produce, which has perished?
You did not bring anything when you were born.
Whatever you have, you have received from Him (God).
Whatever you will give, you will give to Him.
You came empty handed and you will go the same way.
Whatever is yours today, it was somebody else’s yesterday
And it will be somebody else’s tomorrow.
The change is the law of universe.
May God Bless Us All.

Coupon Crazy

Coupon, Is it good remedy for current inflation fight? I think it is not and coupons are highly addictive. Yesterday when i was in train on the way back home, one lady sitting next to me, cut and cut coupons from newspaper. I was watching it all, to make things worse, she put all waste into me. She carried a separate bag for coupons, the bag was filled of coupons. Okay, that was fine, she is just trying to save some 1 or 2 dollars. After finishing all coupon cutting, she opened other bag and took 3-4 lottery, the one that we have to scratch.So now she started now scratching lotteries, again all wastes into me. I just realized that what ever she saved now from coupon were gone. One day I was standing in queue at Costco for checkout, a man who was standing in front of me had tons of ton items to checkout. I thought i might have to spent another hour or so to check out after him. He placed all items on checkout belt. As soon as, sales clerk started checking the items, he pulled a coupon

Google's Killer Application.

Already Microsoft getting heat from Google, that Google is capturing all critical functionalities from Microsoft office suite and developed online based Google Docs suite . From many of small business to individuals now using Google docs instead of expensive Microsoft office suite. Now Google released a "sharepoint killer application" named as Sites . It was just redesign of JotSpot wiki, which Google acquired some years back . I think that now Google can declare war against Microsoft office suite. Google has now all replacement products for Microsoft office. Actually now we are expecting a twist from Microsoft that they will release a online based mini office suite to fight against Google Apps.

Uncontrolled Musing

When I start thinking about future, my mind exploding without control, particularly current events and state of our economy. There is no definite answer to following questions. Are we at recession or depression or nothing? Occupywallstreet will become a revolutionary movement or just like tea party, it will also subside?   President Obama able to win job bill or it will go under water.   If we are not in recession, what is the status of this market? What will happen to 401k, IRA and other investments?   Are we bear market or bull market or pig? How many more days (months/years) we need to worry about our job?   When will my home value improves? The above all are somehow interrelated, a better economy spurs growth which will eliminate all uncertainty. But no one here able to pin point what went wrong and how to fix it. If we know the answer, we could have somehow fixed this mess already.The issues with unable to fix current state of economy are, Very complicated : This ec
