Teachings from The Mahabharata #001

File:Mahabharata-arjun.jpg - Wikimedia Commons

In Mahabharata yuddha Bheem killed Duryodhan by hitting his thigh as per the suggestion of Lord Krishna. Duryodhan was deciple of Lord Balarama, the mightly elder brother of Lord Krishna. Hence Balarama became furious when he heard this news and rushed in to kill Bheem. However Lord Krishna intervened and told him - "Brother, if you're so worried about the rules being broken":

1. Then where were you when Dusashana pulled Draupadi into the Kuru Sabha by her hair?
2. Where were you when Dusashana tried to take her Saree off?
3. Where were you when Duryodhana was bursting out in laughter on above act of Dusashana?
4. Where were you when Duryodhana denied to give even 5 villages to the Pandavas?

If you didn't speak a word on any of the above occasions, then you've no right to kill Bheem now.

Moral of the story - you must take a side in a "Dharma Yuddha", can't just sit on the fence and later shout 'injustice'.

My Addiction to Technology.

I keep hearing everyday within my family, my friend circle and everyone else that I meet regularly, about my addiction to tech gadgets. Let’s give it some thought to see how true is that. Oxford dictionary quotes “ The fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance or activity “. Cambridge dictionary days “ An inability to stop doing our using something, especially something harmful “. Look at the second definition, it also says “something harmful”, which is a very relative thing. Horse riding can be very harmful for some whereas it’s the bread and butter for a jockey or a Polo player. Operating the blast furnace of a steel plant can be extremely dangerous, but it’s the job for the operator. A priest goes to temple everyday and spends most of the day there, is he addicted to it? My father used to go to work everyday, was he addicted too? Nope, they were doing their jobs. Fair enough, then how can anyone call me addicted? Do I waste time chatting with buds on WhatsApp
