There is no escape, keeping from actions and their fruits impossible

Dr Gyan Pathak - 07-07-2010 08:51 GMT-0000
There is no escape from actions and their fruits. We are helplessly compelled to do something throughout our life, right from our birth to death. There cannot be any moment in our life when one does not work. There is no escape from action, and therefore, there is no question of escapism. Our all actions to escape from unhappy situations of our lives are also actions. And where there is action, there is bondage. All actions bind us to certain fruits.

Life is simply bliss, happiness makes us blind

Dr Gyan Pathak - 23-06-2010 03:14 GMT-0000
Almost all of us seek happiness. We follow the path that we believe are capable of giving happiness. We also get happiness in our life, but our problem is our incapability of sustaining it for a longer time. We begin experiencing happiness and then end up in miseries. Our happiness is interrupted. It cannot be experienced continuously throughout the life. Everything that begins has an end. It is the law. We forget the self in this process which is simply bliss and axiomatic. We simply need to remove the veil of ignorance to find it within, which is the rhythm and the base of our very existence.

Ahmad Noor Khan - 02-06-2010 12:02 GMT-0000
With our present approach to development, we have caused the clearing of much of the original forests, drained half of the world’s wetlands, depleted three quarters of the fish stocks, and emitted enough heat-trapping gases to keep our planet warming for centuries to come.

Open source softwares vs the Proprietary softwares: the challenges ahead

saurabhsugandh - 02-06-2010 10:04 GMT-0000
We are all aware of the presence of Open Source Community in the software industry and also aware of the noble cause for its start. There was a time when the software industry was playing monopoly with the people and that's when it all started. It revolutionized the idea of availability of source code for software in the hands of users. It was the year 1998 when we first heard its name. Though it was present in the early 50's and 60's but was not as dramatic as it is now. That was the time when software industry was in its infancy. Software was available only for the academic purposes. But then the time arrived when people started thinking about making it into business.
