History








Studying the rise and fall of emperors, their empires, riches and armies can be of little benefit to a student of History, with an inquiring mind and healthy approach.

The concerns of a common man, his happiness and sorrows, his morale and his influence over the matters relating to himself,
And the compassionate kindness and compassionate sacrifice exhibited by a community, their perception about their common goals and the strength of their cultural, religious and political hubs defines their place in the book of history.

Studying history and great men of past in such light can help a student reach the source of their power, reasons behind their success/failure and may foster his analytic abilities,
And motivate a community to help steer itself in order to secure for it a reasonable place in the tide of time.

    There is no need to disagree with the above stated fact!
    Every man in this world makes mistakes and only great people have the courage and intelligence to learn from them. By reading more about our history we actually learn a lot about life and what it has in store for us, we learn about all those experiences which those great people experienced and it helps us in our self-modification process/evolution for the better future. We can end up being much more wise than we were before !

    Great Post!

    The court intrigues, the conquests of land and people by emperors and their armies is what is replete in history books and it provides nothing to a common reader, most of the history was written and manipulated by rulers to glorify themselves and their dynasties. Common man is the barometer on which if historical narratives shifts can provide the real story of those times and in eventuality the lessons which would help to move forward unblemished.

    In response to both Namrah's post and Dar Sahib's comment, I've been wondering these days if the so-called great leaders, conquests, emperors and armies have had their day and are less important as time goes by? Perhaps they're all having a last fling? Let's pray that America will take a much more humble and less destructive position soon. Let's work toward a day when the common man will demonstrate in a million ways the beauty and riches of a life well-spent, not status, monetary wealth hoarded, land grabbed nor numbers killed.

CREATIVE UNIVERSE!

Universe is a creative product by a Creative Self, and Man is an element having the best sense of creativity among the Creation . Everything in the Universe conceives and creates. Creation adds diversity of form and behavior which enhances the Beauty of the worlds. At sub-atomic level every instant electrons modify their pattern of movement, creating and destroying polarities, which in turn help change their chemical behavior. Resulting new and unique products add to Creation. Cosmic changes occur, energy and charge distribution changes in the upper atmosphere and we witness a creative movement of the heavenly bodies inside the space. When creativity reaches the shores of Human mind, it finds a new depth therein. It seems as if Man wants to consume all his energies creating and decorating things. Taking threads of nature and weaving them every time in a new fashion. For Man, inventing things for providing himself with comfort is all but a way to create and appreciate the ...

The Unconscious Self

“What color do you like?” “I prefer red.” “But why do u like it? There must be some reason.” “The only reason is that… THERE’S JUST NO REASON” There comes many such moments in our life when ‘There’s just no reason’ behind some of our actions or thoughts. Yet we feel determined to carry them out. This is the point when our unconscious steps in our conscious world and leaves indelible marks on it. Unconscious has a considerable effect on one’s way of life but the nature of the exact relation it has with the conscious self is mysterious. Also the fact that despite having seemingly conflicting nature one’s conscious and subconscious usually go together in an efficient way deepens this mystery further, thus making it more appealing for researches and study. Life is a complete system and the process of living needs every component of that system to work in harmony. That is why we should not consider that the unconscious and the conscious do not supplement each other. ...

Kikli....!

Studying Centripetal force and Circular motion in Physics class we started discussing the everyday importance of the phenomenon. As I could not come up with a unique and interesting example from everyday life that could fit in, the lecture started boring me, and the only escape I could find was looking out of the window of class-room. The scene was perfect, a cloudy sky with grassy play-ground in view. But what were some little girls doing on the other side of the ground? I wondered. Oh, they were playing Kikli. A traditional game which is deeply rooted in the culture of Punjab, Kikli, involves mostly two or an even number of young girls, in which girls of each pair stands facing each other, holding each others hands with their arms crossed and the toes of their feet touching one another in the center. The girls then stretch their arms as much as possible, bend their backs and start whirling around, singing songs. The girls must keep their balance as they spin, and if anyone of them ...
