5 things Learnt for. Ravana

 Though some people even consider him not truly evil, but Ravana surely was the most iconic antagonist ever mentioned in our stories. Surpassing all other demons and villains of all other epochs, he stands out due to his vicious deeds.

  1. Murdered his brother-in-law: On his way to conquering heaven, he faced his brother-in-law Kalkeya, and taken over by ambition, murdered him brutally. It was Kalkeya’s wife, Ravana’s sister Surpanakha who set him up against Rama to ensure his downfall.
  2. Brutalized Saints: Ravana was known to have tortured and murdered several saints who peacefully meditated on his kingdom grounds. This was due to his hatred for lord Vishnu, whose believed incarnation Rama ultimately defeated him.
  3. Mistreated women: He tormented innumerable women only for his lust. He had famously kidnapped Sita, the ‘apsara’ Rambha, a poor Brahmin lady Vedavati, and several others. Vedavati cursed Ravana that a woman will become the reason of his fall.
  4. Greedy beyond measure: Ravana conquered the throne of Indra and stole the entire treasury of Devas from his brother Kubera to build his empire Lanka as the most glorious ever.
  5. Proud as hell: Having seen defeat at the hands of King Bali, Monkey-King Baali, King Arjuna, Lord Shiva and many others, Ravana still considered himself the mightiest and immortal. Thus he fought the exiled prince Rama and his army of monkeys, only to see defeat at the hands of the supposedly weakest opposition ever.

Several other sins decorated the vile history of this demon-king. He truly remains unparalleled in his villainy.

Biggest lesson that life has taught

LIFE  has taught me lessons too many to mention, therefore I will only list those that are imposed by the ill of society. Our aspirations that we foster as children are blown up to smithereens as we begin to age. From failure we learn humbleness and for success we learn that happiness was its sacrifice. The lessons we learn are not all reflective of our successes but deflective in our failure looking for that unseen fulfillment in which we elude ourselves in. Silence is wisdom & wisdom is power.  Ernest Psiachari, a French writer from the 1800’s expressed- Silence is a bit of heaven that comes down to earth. True words of wisdom. Slumbering ego awakened by the dim-witted.  To imply that every human being has an ego which is normally in slumber. But if the dim witted awakens my ego, I will wreak havoc. I will boast about my achievements, only when my ego is provoked. The secret of success stays secret.  To work harder than my competitors by not offering any inform...

One cute love story

 Once upon a time, in the vibrant land of Tamil Nadu, there were two individuals whose lives were about to intertwine in a beautiful and unexpected way. Venkatesh Prasad, born and raised in the city of Madurai, had ventured to the bustling city of Chennai in search of better opportunities. Aishwarya, on the other hand, hailed from the ancient city of Kanchipuram and had established herself in Chennai, where she worked as an auditor. It was a sunny morning when fate brought Venkatesh and Aishwarya together. Both boarded the same bus from MRC Nagar to Guindy, unaware of the life-changing encounter that awaited them. As the bus traversed the busy streets of Chennai, they found themselves seated next to each other. A gentle smile from Venkatesh caught Aishwarya's attention, and a conversation soon ensued. Their initial conversation was filled with shared laughter and a surprising connection. They discovered common interests, similar values, and dreams that resonated with one another. A...
