Welcome to Civilisation

Hello , family.

Recently i have started on more book, LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL by Tony Martin. I have found a very interesting page in this book. I would like to share it with you. Author has taken it from somewhere which is mentioned at the end.

 

 


The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more , but have less , we buy more , but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller familites , more conveniences , but lesst time.

We have more degrees but less sense , more knowledge , but less judgment , more experts , yet more problems , more medicine , but less wellness . We drink too much , smoke too much , spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast ,get too angry , stay up too late, get up too tired ,read too little , watch TV too much , and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions , but reduced our values. We talk too much , love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living , but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years.

We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.

We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. WE write more , bet learn less. We plan more , but accomplish less. We've learned to rush , but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information , to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character , steep profits and shallow relationships.

These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses , but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morailty , one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet , to kill . And this paradox goes by the name CIVILIZATION.

We had a Debate over ....


Yes , We had a Debate over a topic , last night. It was all related to books only.



Yesterday, Chirag called me up. His exams are going on. He was not very happy with one paper , which was very bad. We were discussing, then suddenly , i said , Chi, i have bought two more books worth 530 Rs.  As This has been a hot topic between us since last  few months.

According to him, Books are not to be bought , instead it should  be read and give them back. By means Library or any other option where this can happen.

What i say, there are certain things which are meant to be followed. I think books are the only friends we have. If you come across such a nice book, buy it and keep it with you. In future it might help you again. Because whatever we read , remains there in the subconscious mind not in conscious . So to regain or to recall it, you get to read some part of the book again. Because you know that you'd read somewhere . And you also know the Book. So better turn up the pages again, and get a help . This is what i said.

Chi says, spending on books is not worth giving value to your spending. Instead spend onto yourself. If someone is having some books then read take it from him and give him back. The book written by any author, is based on  his own thought. You can also do the same. Think again. No need to read books infact , if you have power to get the things from meditation . In the ancient time, when all gurus and Sadhus had done the same. They hadn't followed any Bookies material. So why are we following it ? We read books for reasons, for certain problems which we have. Or Some read because of their hobby. If someone has a hobby then, LIBRARY is a best option. If not, don't buy. Get it from somwhere else.

 

But i said, comeon chi, its not necessary that a library has all books which we want. And neither it available to the local shop keeper. So the only option is to buy it. As i don't have any other bad habbit, so i am spending my savings on Buying books. In Future , you take it from me, i will give you . You Don't Buy. Fine.

 

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG silence..

We ended with no conclusive solution. He sticked to his point and i to mine. He put off the phone, Saying Good Night.


And I put over here, I know, we'll have the same discussion again. But what to do, he is my best pal. Genious person. And it is always good to have a discussion or debate with such kind of person. Let it be foolish topic. Never hasitate, they are yours and you are them only.

Thank You.

Hey this is the thing which i wanted to tell to all of you who are there in my freindlist.....


Finally, i am writing one more blog. After such a long time. My first blog regarding the problme i am facing .

As i have said in my first blog, that i am facing problem while speaking in english. And see , how many replies i got, i might be blessed more than enough.

Let me share something very personal to all my friends. You know friends , who is my Role model, HARSHA BHOGLE. Look at this man, an iimA lad. What a command over language. Every time i see him, speaking, i remain frenzy.  One day will come and i also will be having command like he.

This is very secret dont tell this to anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

If anyone thinks that there is a trick or technic or any suggestion then , i will be eagerly waiting for that ..

Nowadays reading, collecting words and everyday speaking for 1 hour in front of mirror, by which i can set my rhyem ( for correct pronunciation of a word). I dont know what will be the result, but as i dont have any guidance , i am going.

 

And final comments :

Thanks to the blogging, where i got so many friends , who are having concerns without knowing me. I am very  much thankful to all of you. The replies which i got was like a perosn who is escorting my evryday towards my Goal. Thanks for the cooperation.. My great regards to all my friend, May god bless you. You all will achieve your GOAL too.

Please never let me be alone. !!!!!!!!!!!! whispering!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love you all.
