My favorite quote
When The Great Scorer comes to write against your name,
He writes not whether you won or lost
But how you played the game.
-Grantland Rice
If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it. ~Toni Morrison

When Science Speaks
Yesterday I was watching a program on TV about "healthy food habits". They were telling that you must avoid meat, especially red meat. And you must eat a lot of vegetables. They also said that for "liver cleansing" you must not drink alcohol. And they gave so many other tips.
In short, they implied that one must be vegetarian and not drink alcohol. Does'nt our religion tell us the same?
Our religion only uses a different approach, it speaks in the "emotional language". Religion tells us not to kill animals, they too have the right to live and hence it says, you must be a vegetarian. But we do not listen to religion. And when science tells us the same thing, but explains in "scientific language", we are ready to accept it.
Religion also has reasoning, it has logic. But the mode to convey the thought is different. Years ago, people believed in the language of religion & followed it. Today we call it blind faith & do not follow it. Today Science is speaking the same language but with a different perspective. We believe in this language of science & follow the same path. Funny, isnt it?!
