Life's Inspiration

On November 22, 2012, I happened to see the exhibition of 150th Birth Anniversary of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore on wheels arranged by Indian Railways that was stationed for three days in Chennai Central Railway Station for the public view. A great effort in memory of the great legend of India!

His was a saga of personal losses on the family life-front but the Guru lived a long life and guided the country for a few decades apart from establishing a world-renowned institution "Santhi Nikethan". He tried to live with and enjoy 'Nature' from close quarters. Hence a number of poems linking nature with the Almighty.

After leaving the platform (No. 11) my mind was engrossed with the Tagore days and asking myself:

"Where did I come from and what for ?

& 

 Where do I go from here now in this life?"

US Air Force Fails to Protect the Fair Sex

The latest news from Washington is disheartening and demoralizing. It is reported that some 50 women-trainees have been raped by the men officers in charge of training at the training Academy of US Air Force in Lakeland of Texas State. About 23 officials have been dismissed from service due to this misconduct and criminal activity. Out of this lot one person named Louis Walker seems to have raped as many as 35 women for which he has been sentenced to 20 years of imprisonment, as indicated by the Training-in-charge General Edward Rice who conducted the enquiry into this affair.

Where is the human being proceeding to? A disciplined and organized force is committing such an inhuman activity?

Sex feeling enhanced by the current avalanche of literature and video shows on sex both in print, digital and website is playing a prominent role in shaping the unfortunate behavior of male adults. Any remedy? Society and the leaders are to take a note of this and find immediate and practical solution to this malady.
