The Sunshine Within You

Ravana has a very important place in Indian mythology.  Although he was a villain of Ramayana , he is worshipped either alone or with the Shiva-lingam (the symbol of Lord Shiva whom Ravana was a great devotee of) he had established in the past (as Temple claims) in many parts of India and some other Nations of Southeast Asia including Sri Lanka. Ravana himself is an ideology. He is an epitome of self-obsessed and greedy being full of nepotism who lost himself in the lust for power. Ravana was an exemplary scholar who mastered the Vedas, the holy books, and the arts and ways of Kshatriyas  (the warriors). He performed an intense penance to Lord Brahma, the creator of the Universe, that lasted several years as a result of which he was provided with a boon. Ravana asked for immortality, which Brahma refused to give, but gave him a celestial nectar of immortality stored under his navel saying that he could not be defeated for as long as it lasted.

Virender Sehwag came as a nightmare for any bowlers, regardless of his pace, spin or looks. The madness of the bowler after taking his wicket could be easily seen on the field. It was a kind of mixed reaction of happiness and spewing out the frustration built by Sehwag. But the dignity of this champion, I presume, is not preserved in the way he retired.

He holds multiple records including the highest score made by an Indian in test cricket, 319 against South Africa, which was also the fastest triple century in the history of International ...

It was the first time when a young boy Mukesh Pandey from Bihar voted for the 2015 Bihar assembly election. He was very excited to exercise his right to vote so, in the beginning, he decided to listen to every politician and go through the manifesto of the different political parties. After weeks of doing so, he got frustrated and said: "What the hell our politicians are doing! They've no new things to say. Instead of talking how they're going to develop Bihar, they are accusing each other of making Bihar an underdeveloped state. Their campaign is nothing but wastage of public money. Those who invest more will loot more after coming to power. Such campaign can't be possible with hard earned money and is happening with black money. Black people (not racial one) makes black money by different black means like extortion, mafia, kidnapping, etc. So there is no chance of honest people fighting the election. The thing that surprised me most is the behaviour of our (Hon...
