 As the age of technology dawns again and again leading us to new horizons, starting from the first flight taken by the Wright brothers to the computer to the current generation of changing mobiles, from the mobile that was just a phone to the current generation of smart phones which are basically a palmtop computer with excellent features of communication. Along with the changes of the mobile came new changes in communication - apps and websites that made it possible to speak to people nationally and internationally, at the click of a button. And now, people could form groups, in thousands and probably millions. People can now communicate with their celebrities on the internet, people can share information, jokes and images in seconds. All of this comes down to what is now popularly known as social media. And though social media has brought about many changes which are good to humanity, it does bring it's share of evil.

                      The hermit walked through the village, begging for alms. He lived on the mountain top in a cave. The  mountain was always beautiful anytime of the year and provided for the hermit. But there were other needs and for  that the hermit had to come to the village. He preached to the villagers and treated their ailments as he came from a physicians family.        He came walking to the village from the mountain-top which was a long journey that he made from time to time. He went door to door begging for alms to gtet a little extra help. The folks of the village were kind and prepared some food and supplies for him. He was always happy that they did their bit to help him. Life was simple and not very complicated in the village.  There was not much of a problem as the entire village shared all their resources.       One fine day, as the sun rose...

                                                                     As I was growing  up in the beautiful city of Bombay, there were a lot of things that I learnt and imbibed from this great city. One of the things that I discovered  in the city as I munched on its culture was the beautiful music of  Rock, which was a big thing at the time in Bombay – the bay of good hope. The artists I got introduced to and listened to are various artists, and to tell you about that is a never-ending yearning of stories. So that would be kept for another time, or probably …. Another series of articles.   Every Rockstar brought a certain personality, or a style or more effectively—a mannerism which was copied by their followers all around th...

                          Violence      Sitting down in the park, I watched as the kids munched on the candy.  It was a fun fair and there were all kinds of activities going on. Suddenly while these activities were going on there was a big bang.Two boys on the ground had begun to fight, for some trivial reason. The crowd gathered around and stopped the fight. The two fighters were separated and then were thrown out of the event. Violence - truly a part of our nature and will always be. We are . It pops up now and then, and we cannot ignore it. Its that feeling in our blood that wants to get physical.    Aggression has been present throughout time as we go down the ages of past centuries, and will be present till the end of time. The hippie revolution was born in the seventies and talked about peace and free love. During that time, violence had taken a downturn and was considered a neg...
