A Gujarati Poem...

શબ્દો નો સંદર્ભ નહી ગોત,મિત્રતા નો અર્થ નહીં ગોત,સાચું ખોટું શુ છે એનો સ્રોત નહીં ગોત,જીવનનો મર્મ નહીં ગોત.અર્થ મા અનર્થ નહીં ગોત,ભક્તિ મ સ્વાર્થ નહીં ગોત,કેટલાય આવ્યાં ને ગયા,તુ ઇશ્વર નો સાક્ષાત્કાર નહીં ગોત.પથિક બી. વરિયા

The Bravest Warrior of War of The Mahabharata "Baliyadev"

-
I was recently surprised to learn that many of us (including me at times, of course) do not know a lot of things about the Indian religious scriptures (The Hindu Scriptures by and large). I don't like the word mythology. It is derogatory and fails to convey the true spirit of the great scriptures like The Ramayana and The Mahabharata.  It gave an idea to write some blogs on certain unknown aspects of the great Hindu religion. Mind you, I am not, neither do I claim to be, an expert of The Hinduism. But yes, my curiosity and compilation should allow me to write a reasonably valid piece of text on these aspects.  So, today, I have decided to write an introduction of a character called "Baliyadev" from The Mahabharata.  He is  also known as Khatushyam / Barbaric / Barbarik / Belarsen / Akash Bhairav / Yalambar / Lakha-Datari etc.  Now, the problem for Lord Krisha was that the army of the Kauravas was definitely more powerful than that of the Pandavas. ...

A visit to Blind People's Association and Centre for Environment Education, Ahmedabad

"They may be blind from their eyes, but actually their vision for life is far more clear than mine..." Similar thoughts blew my mind when I visited the Blind People's Association, Ahmedabad on July 17, 2008 as a part of my FDP at IIMA. When we were informed that we'd be taken to Blind People's Association, we thought it would be just waste of time! It'd be yet another NGO that would show us some of their work, and would demand some donation from us. But, fortunately, we were wrong. Instead, it proved to be a thought provoking, astonishing and unforgattable visit for all of us. Here's why: When we landed at BPA around 11 AM, their officials brought us to the conference hall. It was a good conference hall, well carpeted, fully Air Conditioned and ambience was also quite wonderful. A small introduction was provided initially and then we were made to play a game. It was very simple. They tied a black cloth on the eyes of each of us except five people, who were...
