Are we Rich enough to build temples, mosques and churches?
It’s believed that god resides inside a person and that he need out look around for him.
But only if people believed in what they believe in, there will be no poverty. The problem is not lack of funds but the way funds are utilized in this country. We spend crores and crores of money building temples, mosques and churches which hardly help in eradicating poverty and diseases from this world, which I personally rate much higher on the priority list whencompared to promoting religion which has caused more harm than good to this world. Almost everyday I read about celebrities donating lots of money in religious trusts. Can’t we utilize these funds to build more hospitals and schools, to promote medical research and to feed poor children of our country and of countries like Somalia and Chechnya?
Religion is a faith which keeps a person’s concise intact but humanity is an act which keeps this world intact.
Can we not do with lesser of these places which might in turn make the lives of a million people better? Let’s be rational, when we can think of ROI even buying something as small as a radio which hardly costs anything can’t we apply the same logic before we spends fortunes on the so-called- religious places. Personally I have own doubts about god living in these places as I’m sure he would have better things to do than living amongst hypocrites. And say even if he did he wouldn’t mind having lesser homes on earth for the sake of the happiness of a million kids.
Let’s build homes for them, whom we have never seen, let’s do it for those whom we have.
Words that describe me and my various experiences.The quest and tryst with life to understand it to the best of my ability.My opinions.Yours are welcome too.

Mr. Shakespeare, Come to India !!
So u want to know what there in the name??
Come to India. Here when I’m born I’m given a name like everyone else in this world.
But then I grow up, my parents take me to school, oh wait I get my name registered first.
Then begins the journey of the Me, My Name!!
I Write tests I write my name, I like a gal I dig half through the trunk to embed her name and of course with hers I carve my name,
My journey continues I go to college trips and I write my name..where?? Everywhere..In temples, in Ruins ,on hills , old monuments, in parks.. on my bike.. in my roon..on my guitar..in my mobile..on my CD cover..this is the great Indian obsession.
I’m sure most of the people around the world the globe like to personalize things but doesn’t personalization mean naming something you own..
In India.. we scribble everywhere.. in places where we go on a visit never to go again.
In places we don’t own. Things that don’t belong to us.
Or might be it’s just that we believe our name is solely owned by us and somehow
A Chinese might actually be able to relate to us when he reads our name..
Say it’s add beauty to the buildings?? Believe me the people who had made these places are far more talented and can well do without our names on their creations!!
Mr. Shakespeare,..Are u listening??
