These are the common requirements of the matrimony ads in newspaper. You would also get to see statements like - "Girl should be very beautiful", "Girl should be very fair and slim".. Are they looking for life partner for their son or a model to show to the society.... The way we communicate talks most about our personality.. Just by those five lines in the classified, you can make out the kind of thought process other person have...
Similarly even the girl parents select the groom classified based on the package mentioned in the ad... Though we call it that marriages are made in heaven, however these days it is more like a deal.. The more high the package of the boy, the more beautiful girl he deserves, vice-versa...
Things have become meaningless and full of marterialism...

Religion of Man !!!
We humans are known as part of different religions, As per the popular religions like Hinduism, Sikhism, Muslims, Christans are existing in this world and we human beings take birth in different religions, we are taught the cultures and values of the religion being followed in our homes. Hence religion is not by choice, its by birth or destiny. We follow what all we are taught by our parents.
Man has evolved in ages, so has religion. With all this evolution, it is evident that we have missed on certain logics and following the customs for the heck of it, or just by the idea as we are suppose to do it. Each religion has several such examples... Well with due respect to all religions, i feel it should be used as a way to eternal peace or spirituality.. Not as a differentiater between human beings.. When all religion are a way to GOD, then why we need a difference... GOD has created us in a same fashion, we all have similar kind of body system.. When he has not created that difference, who are we to do that. I know its impossible to have everyone a same opinion or samy prespective, we can atleast respect each group's point of view in the society.
Recently read a book by RabindraNath Tagore - Religion of Man... Truly amazing book, a must read book. He says Mans first religion is with universe, nature and spirit. He says that the best for all mankind, the religion which is based on truth, should prosper in all that is ours, the religion which establishes our actions in order with justice by the Divine songs.
The unfortunate part is we forget the basic message of each religion and focus on irrelevant things or issues. If we see and validate them with logic, we will end up getting no results. We forget to love each day, forget to care, forget to say or express to our loved ones.. This is not humanity. We have been blessed by God with this beautiful life, we should ensure to use it in a right manner. Feelings like anger, agony, jealous, impatience, sorrow, grief are natural... However with this happiness, positivity and spirituality are also available in abundant. We just need to change our view point.
Let us keep our faith firm in the objectivity of the source of our spiritual ideal of unity, though it cannot be proved by any mathematical logic. Let us proclaim in our conduct that it has already been given to us to be realized, like a song which has only to be mastered and sung, like the morning which has only to be welcomed by raising the screens, opening the doors.
