Reflection

Dear friends,

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year.

It has been quite long since I posted anything on this wonderful platform.
Last year was a roller coaster ride with unexpected surprises some pleasant and some not so pleasant.

Hope all of you had a great year.

Best regards

Zero

Carver, Ford, Soyabeans……..

    Dear Friends, Today’s post is about lifelong friendship of two distinguished Americans, George Washington Carver and Henry Ford with different background. This friendship is an interesting example of long-term benefits for the entire society. G W Carver, born in 1864 was raised as a slave’s kid on the farm of his mother’s former master Moses Carver. Carver developed a keen interest in plants, in the surrounding woods. Eventually he became the only African American with an advanced degree in scientific agriculture at that time. Henry Ford, on the other hand, was born on his father’s farm in 1863. While studying, Ford used to build water wheels and steam engines.

A list of well sorted sites is in front of you to explore. Than came Google earth, the most fascinating and mesmerising experience of seeing various places on earth from the sky. Our own locality, friends house looks so different from the top! Google maps is a great help in North American cities to find address. G-mail gave an altogether different experience of e-mail usage. The well laid out mail box is so convenient to use. G-chat side bar lets me know abou...

SPRITUAL BUT NOT RELIGIOUS?

Dear friends, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on Spirituality and Religion. I had posted the same question on ibibo and got equally interesting five responses. Your feedback gave an insight in to what people generally think about Spirituality and Religion. The gist of replies is as below: Except one, all were of the opinion that a person can be Spiritual but not religious. For most of them Spirituality was like, quest to understand oneself, identify self with universe, selfless service to the society, humanity, believe in super powers of human mind and body etc As far as religion is concerned, all of them thought that religion is limited to believing in the concept of God and worshiping God by various means like performing rituals, Idol worship, chanting mantras etc. Some expressed their dislike towards religion while one said that religion is a journey to achieve Spirituality and once achieved, one need not follow religious practice of rituals etc. All these answers were a great h...
