My First Blog Entry


(This is the first blog entry I've ever written. I posted it somewhere else on Tuesday, June 12, 2007. Though now I don't use that blog site, yet as this is my first writing, I like it very much)

One-sided Love
One-sided love is the greatest sin one can ever commit in this earth. One-sided love generates lots and lots of negative energy, which not only harms the lovelorn lover physically and mentally, it can really harm anyone who comes close to him/her. This negative energy makes the bereft lover very much upset, who in turn shows agitated behavior to anyone who comes to his/her contact. Never get indulged in one-sided love. If someone rejects your proposal of love, then immediately get him/her out of your heart. Never keep a minute fraction of his/her remembrance in your mind and heart. After all, LIFE GOES ON... they say so!

India During The Raj Days

India During The Raj Days

How was our India in the days of our grand-grand-grandfathers? What were the achievements of our country during those days, when we were under alien rule? Was there any real development, or were those days full of oppression? Or did our forefathers experience both development and at the same time subjugation?

Here are some glimpses of India during the 200-year old British colonial rule. Though I’ve tried my best to collect captions of all the pictures, yet I couldn’t do so! I will surely put captions to all the pictures as soon as I get them.
