Question the thought "?"

One of my good friend came to my house. We had a chitchat and enjoyed our normal dinner. We arranged a room in the house for him to rest for the night.

He was little unease with that room and asked me, "Is there a cemetery near by?"
I answered Yes, How come you know?
He replied, "I am vulnerable to spirits."

I tried to analyse his thought rather being astonished by his imagination. I questioned my friend "Why dont we treat cemetery as equal to an Hospital? One brings us to this world and the other takes away from it. Cemetery keeps the life cycle going and it has never been praised for that'

We are all brought up saying that cemetery is a place of danger. It was stereotyped as the abode of evil, which is seen so untouchable even for a walk to near by. Many of us never try to question the thought.

If we still belive it as a place of evil, I'm sorry to say that, Soon, we all will be evils and untouchables resting for ever in the most dangerous place of the world.



PS: My friend proved himself and is sucessful in wide range of fields. He is the class topper studying media with scholarship.

Sufi story

A man broken hearted by all the suffering and sorrow he saw in the world. He sat by the roadside and began to beat the earth. He saw the sky and yells at God. "Look at this mess. Look at all this pain. Look at all this killing and hatred. God, Oh God, why don't you do something!?"

And God said, "I did do something. I sent you."



This is taken from Sufi Stories of Islam. Sufism is branch of Islam which talks about only love. It is similar to Bakthi movement in Hinduism. Muscians like AR Rahman, Nasurat Fatheh Ali Khan, Kailash Kher are inspired by it.

Why God has created bad?

I asked my friend, Why god has created bad? She replied," To see Good"

I further analysed tried to find some other conclusions.

to see the importance of birth there is death
to see the value of day there is night
to see the value of happiness there is sadness
to feel the beauty, there is ugly
So on and so forth

Everything in this world would be only identified and valued when it is seen in contrast to the opposite of it. When there is no opposite, everything in this universe would be
monotonus.

But still, some questions ponder in my mind. All these bad just created merely for the value of good things or do they have their own importance? Would it have been good if god has simply given human enough wisdom to feel the value of good with out having opposite of it.

Are humans just getting themselves pacified by thinking there are reasons for the creation of bad ?

I am just trying to find the answer by questioning the question itself

Is it really the god created bad or is it evolved by itself?

Why 'this' name?

When there are millions of blogs why me at this time? It was wisely said, it is never late to learn in life.. Learn to analyse self and society.

Why today: My friend varma started his blog saying it is auspicious to start on Lord Balajis day, saturday... Really,that pushed me to start. I dont believe in anything such as auspicious. But one thing for sure there is no bad time to do start a good thing.


Why name: Difference takes birth when parents name their child. It is pushed further by govt and school system when student enrolls in school by giving religion and caste details for academic records. It goes further .....further and end with only the way he is creameated after the death.

My parents named me Prudhvi Raju Kathari.. Last name says about my family, Middle name says my Caste and the first one says about my language, religion, state and country. (Prithvi is a Sanskrit name means earth which is written and pronounced as Prudhvi in Telugu). They forgot to put any tag to my name saying that Iam a human.

Egoism would start with self leading to my family, my Community , Language, Region, Religion, country. Why cant there be egoness for our fellow humans? Taking it further why not egoism for just all beings on earth... living and Nonliving? When we take egoism in broader perspective, Is it still be called egoism?

All problems in this world are caused by difference or by being egoistic. From seperate Telengana state, Ayodhya Temple Issue to Relgious extremism. It is easy to trigger , instigate or provoke human beings with their differences. It is easy to fall for all these because the humans are programmed from childhood the way parents, society, religion want them to be.

Just trying to show love and respect for our fellow 'human' beings. and trying to be Human.

PS: Eventhough this blog is started on saturday (Lord Balajis day) but ended and published on sunday... the day of jesus christ
