Did You Ever Love Me? Book Review: Can Rithvik singh turn heartbreak into a homecoming?

Did You Ever Love Me? by Rithvik Singh is a tender contemporary poetry collection about love, heartbreak, longing, self worth and learning to let go. Its greatest strength is emotional accessibility: Singh writes directly to readers who feel intensely and care deeply. The collection offers comfort without pretending heartbreak is simple, though its simplicity may occasionally feel familiar to seasoned poetry readers. Did You Ever Love Me? Have you ever loved someone so completely that, after they left, you were left wondering whether they had ever understood what they had been given? Not merely whether they loved you, but whether they ever noticed how much you loved them, how much patience you offered, how many small things you remembered, or how often you chose to stay when leaving might have been easier. There is a particular loneliness in that question because it rarely arrives at a dramatic moment. More often, it finds you while you are doing something completely ordinary. You mig...

"Bonding With God"

From my childhood I was Religious,but I never knew that basic steps of being religious.That Time for me being religious was to go to mandir, stand and fold our hands pray and that finishes the process of being religious.

Then i grew up,i started getting know the real meaning of term being religious i.e was a "Bond With God" a faith,a trust on him.Though I am still not that perfect in all this but somewhere i knew that i had connection with God.I can feel hi presence around me.Today also am not that great devotee of his but than also i had a feeling that after all this God loves me,protects me.

Bonding with God is a very integral part of somebodies life.Its a very deep part of ones life.It can never be expressed in words.As it was once said by my dear friend that feelings for God can never be expressed 100%,its beyond ones thought process.

Today am 20 and nowI have started realizing what is the actual meaning of tuning with God.Though it will take another many years to discover more deeply,to reach on higher levels of God. I feel at this point my bonding with God is just like a 'new born baby'.Its still need to blossom and nurtured more.

I have always believed that living life to its basic rules are decided by God.But we humans till the time we experience them we don't find them worthy,that's what human tendency is.

God teaches us that excessive attachment is injurious to health,but till the time we don't experience it we don't find the teaching worth it.
Similarly God teaches us not to expect much from others,not from anybody,but we are humans,we can't help it,how can we understand things by just meare teachings or just by reading holy book.God is very kind to us,before any mishappening he gave us various signals but we live are lives soo blindly or i should say that we are soo engrossed in external world that we forget about our inner world n then we become soo dumb, deaf n blind that we don't understand his signals,which can save us from big disappointments.
But once you catch that frequency with God you start connecting with his signals,with his teachings,your trust rates tend to rise u start having more faith in his decisions.

If today somebody asks me' Who is God??How would you define him?'Then I'll just say that"God is another human being but the difference is that hes invisible and we humans are visible.Hes supreme power,we are his children and whenever we are in pain,we go to him,talk to him,pray to him,he helps us with his best idea's and his best approach,for what we are deservent and makes us feel composed,better"

Pure mind,innocent mind human beings are also God'd favorite and he is sometimes bias to them,though nobody in today's world is 100% pure but purity here means Good intentions,being forgiving,loving,Caring,n having a true innocent genuine heart.

God is kind to everybody he loves everybody n full fill wishes of everybody but for all this what we give to God??Nothing.How selfish n occupied we are with our worlds that we tend to forget that supreme power behind all are happiness.

This is the high time that we should be less selfish n less involved with the external world n take some time out for God and Thank him for all his blessings,his love,everything.

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Epitome of equality

First of all This is not to demean any religion.. I am a Hindu by birth, but yes I respect all religions .I offer my daily prayers , fast on holy days , but there was something that was disturbing me . God as per me was a Friend, someone who was by my side always , someone who was a dear friend , but this is not what everyone else thought , for others he was the Judge who gives his verdict always and punishes anyone and everyone . Walk into any temple and you would see , if you have money , you will be treated in a way as if you are the ONLY disciple of the God . I have had too many experiences where I was treated as a second class citizen in the temple . Why? Well I could not afford giving thousands as donation. This is not how it should be , God looks at each one of us with the same divinity .As I mentioned God for me is a friend, so tell me, do we chose friends based on their bank balances? Do we give our verdict on them ? then how can God do it? I know many of us would ...

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind... Anyway, let us look at some facts -   Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Singh had a...
