Well, first amongst first, ...Luck vs Determination. Well, first amongst first, anything that happens to us by the virtue of birth for sure is luck. However how we have been brought up is something that we did by choice. @Atreya: We know quite a few people staying and brought up in NIRD, but do not share the same intellect that we do. I very firmly believe the association we have shared amongst us (Ramesh, Shivu, Bablu, Gaurav, Shouvik...(the list would go on))that of all of us coming from such different cultural backgrounds and still thinking on similar lines is a matter of personal choices we have made in our lives...<br /><br />Great to see you writing bhai!!! Keep writing. Maybe i'll publish your articles soon in the form of a book (you see an entrepreneur can sight business opportunities everywhere...)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838072368095213793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256829391913131331.post-91967135934380520572010-09-23T08:30:45.326-07:002010-09-23T08:30:45.326-07:00All the best!!All the best!!Atreyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782413270566171669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256829391913131331.post-24759907367421491292010-09-23T01:58:54.002-07:002010-09-23T01:58:54.002-07:00ya the topic of so called "luck" accordi...ya the topic of so called "luck" according to you again forms a good one to discuss. now u r encouraging me to write something on luck. anyway watever it took you to come out, i m glad u r wat u r now. watch my blog. coming soon....Rameshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16695561144086093801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256829391913131331.post-49495195831316301872010-09-21T08:50:33.109-07:002010-09-21T08:50:33.109-07:00Keep encouraging me Ramesh!

I give luck more weightage because its only my upbringing that helped me.

I feel that the condition of a brother(in our country) who has been arrested for killing his sister(honor killing) is comparable to that of an arrested Hisbul terrorist. Both face death penalty!!<br />About RSS and Hisbul, i should say that there are organisations like Jamat Ul dawa in Pakistan which are also social organisations but work as front end for many terrorist groups.<br />RSS has also has a similar structure with Bajrang dal etc being its violent wings. <br />The only difference between Hindus and Muslims is that, Hindu as a community is docile whereas muslims are aggressive. This is the only reason why Bajrang Dal did not become Hisbul!!Atreyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782413270566171669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2256829391913131331.post-53245336136339350382010-08-23T16:17:09.584-07:002010-08-23T16:17:09.584-07:00Hi, i share the same thought over Islam,fundamenta...Hi, i share the same thought over Islam,fundamentalism and kashmir, but am not sure if the comparison of RSS with Hisbul was correct.sackachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12015674093334082586noreply@blogger.com
