The REAL meaning of Peace

Peace is all what we demand in our lives. So, here I bring you a small story to help you better understand the concept of peace right away:
          There once lived a king who announced to prize the artist who would paint the best painting depicting peace. Many great painters sent the king several of their best art pieces. Once of the pictures among the various master pieces was of a calm lake, perfectly mirroring peacefully towering snow-capped mountains. Overhead was a blue clear sky with fluffy clouds. The pictures was perfect. Most of the people who viewed the pictures of peace from various artists thought that it was the best among all.
          But when the king announced the winner, everyone was shocked. The picture which won the prize also had mountains but it was rugged and bare. The sky looked very angry, there were lighting. This did not look peaceful at all. It looked like the artist has mistakenly submitted his painting depicting storm rather than peace. But if anyone looked closely at the painting, he could see a tiny bush growing in the cracks in the rock. In the bust, a mother bird had built her nest. In the midst of the rush of the angry weather, the bird sat on her nest with peace.
          The peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise and trouble. Peace means to be in the midst of all chaos and still be calm in the heart. The real peace is the state of the mind, not the state of the surroundings. The mother bird at her calm, despite her chaotic surrounding indeed was the representation for peace. Peace doesn't mean to be in a place where there's no noise or adversity. It means to be in the midst of all those but still feel calm in your heart.
          Love and peace of mind protect us. They allow us to overcome our problems that life hands us. They teach us how to survive... to live now... to have the courage to confront each day.

BLOG #1 - THE BIG BANG - COSMIC BEGINNINGS

Accepted astrophysical theories posit that at one point there was nothing: no stars, planets or galaxies - not even the space itself. The matter that makes up everything that now exists was concentrated in a single, extremely dense point known as a singularity. The force of gravity in a singularity is so great that the fabric of space time curves in on itself. In an instant known as the big bang, however, the contents of the primordial singularity escaped - and formed the universe.                The big bang is a catchy shorthand for a complex astrophysical theory, backed up with sophisticated calculations. The term was coined in the 1950s by British astronomer Fred Boyle, a proponent of a theory of the universe as a steady state. In fact, Boyle used the term derisively. Though the name stuck, it gives a false impression, making it seem as though the event that unleashed all the energy of the universe almost 14 billion years ago was an e...

Questions that question YOU from YOU - PART 1

Sometimes we get too caught up in our every day lives that we tend to forget one of our most basic instincts as humans — to question. And our lives have indeed become so easy and so simple, that we never get curious anymore. Thanks to the tech, obviously. After all, we are i the 21st century. So, in this piece for you, I've got some questions to make you spark the plugs into your grey matter.(not the GRAY matter,  its the grey matter) Now what's the grey matter first ? Grey  matter  contains most of the brain's neuronal cell bodies. The grey  matter  includes regions of the brain involved in muscle control, and sensory perception such as seeing and hearing, memory, emotions, speech, decision making, and self-control. Enough for the intro, I guess. So, here are the questions. Q. Why do we all FEAR death ? Q. What is REALITY ? Q. Is our SOCIETY teaching us the WRONG things ? Q. Is TIME only a concept made by humans ? Is it something we RESTRICT ourselves with ? Q....

Southern lights are a thing !!! - The AURORA AUSTRALIS What are the Southern Lights ? Much have been said and done about the northern lights, so much so, that at times travellers have outnumbered the local population of Iceland. But we all seemed to have fo rgotten about its counterpart, Aurora Australis or the Southern Lights, with are just as soul-stirring, if not more. So as winter comes to t he southern hemisphere, these dancing curtains of lights come out to play. Just like their colorful comrades in the north, the Aurora Australis too is an aftermath of the collision of gaseous particles in the earth's atmosphere with electrically charge d particles from the sun. The energy released from this collision takes place the form of the dramatic auroras. Red and Pink color Aurora Australis Green Colored Aurora Australis Why are they so exciting ? While the aurora borealis only offers a green light during the northern light phenomenon, the southern lights entice you with a motley of...
