This is dedicated to Sravan (Shravan M V). Thanks to his interests in soil, this topic Soil, is really interesting. Though it sounds bore to you, or sounds something like nonsense. But just read on.
The important components which we totally depend on are Land (soil), Water, Air, and Fire (sun). As you all know the importance of air, water and fire. I am writing this article Soil to tell you its importance in brief. Truly speaking, we wouldn’t have existed without Land or Soil. What? How? When? Why? These are your immediate questions.
Here are the answers. Everything begins with soil and ends with soil only except the birth of living beings. (When I say soil, it has various meanings like sand, rock, stones, or even dust). At the time of dinner or lunch or breakfast, we eat different delicacies of food. Ever wonder from where that food has come? Of course, Soil only. Vegetables, Fruits, rice, wheat, cereals, everything was grown and taken from the soil. Right?
And every house, every brick or block, needs soil/sand. The decorative of homes constitutes of the items which began from soil only. Right? For example, different part of tiles- part of the soil, curtains and dresses- the threads we make were taken from trees or silk worms which depend on soil. Similarly on books, furniture, etc.
Other items such as Plastics, rubbers, steel etc contain certain amount of soil in the form of sand. Although we haven’t seen its constituents in our text books but it has been proved scientifically that without these very small amounts of sand or silica required, these items wouldn’t have existed.
Gold, Silver, Diamonds, and all precious gems came from the soil. Right? If not, then check out its constituents.
We also depend upon Electronic items like laptops, PCs, Mobiles, and so on. And there is lot of development in Technology especially Nano-technology. Inside it, contains Semi-Conductors of high speeds which are made of Silica, nothing but Sand.
Beneath our earth, contains core, mantle and crust which are nothing but different forms of soil in various shapes and size, developing gravitational force, putting all of us including, electronic signal waves, cars, etc in place.
Why? We stand our own feet on the ground, which is nothing but Soil. At the time of our deaths, we know where we will end up.
At the same time, you must know. Soil isn’t just about soil. It has life too. Beneath your feet, ground, we cannot predict the nature of the soil. It changes frequently at slow pace without our notice. For your nightmares, think about earthquakes, land slides, or quick sand. It is also amazing to know that, soil changes too, like how we change. And it is totally unpredictable, like we are unpredictable in our minds.
Which is why, from our engineer’s point of view, Geo-technical, Geo-environmental, Geology Engineers were born. To learn about it, its behaviour and to warn us if there are any problem that are about to show up. They also do many things, wonderful things, and that’s the reason why we could see high rise buildings or sky scrappers today. Because all things depends on ground, our sole foundation of our rising future.

inner voice
You hear it faintly at times,
You prefer keeping it faint.
You hear it loud and clear at times,
You wonder what others will say.
You hear it all the time,
You brush it away.
You hear it when you wonder what you are thinking,
You ignore it.
You hear it when you wonder what you should be doing with your life,
You pay no heed.
You ask others, you ask your friends, and you ask your family.
Sometimes you listen to other’s voice,
Sometimes you want to hear it from others,
You want others to tell you what to do, comforting and sure about the results,
Because they had already experienced it.
You want to play safe,
So you mute that voice, your inner voice.
You prefer keeping it faint.
You hear it loud and clear at times,
You wonder what others will say.
You hear it all the time,
You brush it away.
You hear it when you wonder what you are thinking,
You ignore it.
You hear it when you wonder what you should be doing with your life,
You pay no heed.
You ask others, you ask your friends, and you ask your family.
Sometimes you listen to other’s voice,
Sometimes you want to hear it from others,
You want others to tell you what to do, comforting and sure about the results,
Because they had already experienced it.
You want to play safe,
So you mute that voice, your inner voice.

miracle
life's miracle...
According to me, miracle is when u see things from a higher perspective, u can see that seemingly unrelated things are actually related. It is nothing more than a shift of mind that helps u see things in a new way. For eg, if u r on hilltop, u can see things differently than u wud down on the ground. And so, by constantly staying open to viewing ur life in new ways, u'll eventually see the miracles that are taking place...
According to mamu fellow, 'miracle is nothing more than finding an apple which taste orange.'

Ripped Apart...
My Heart...
is ripped apart.. With no mercy... My Heart...
is ripped apart.. With no feelings... Into Many pieces..
Like a puzzle... Unbearable to tolerate...
the pain...
As i collect the pieces...
It makes me cry...
Unable to join the pieces..
as it's apart...
Waiting for someone...
to help to solve the puzzle...
Hoping for the same person to come...
But that person is gone forever...
What can I do?
Nobody can help me but myself... My heart...
is ripped apart... without mercy... without feelings..

Happy new year to all of ya.... Its a great feeling of having a new life, having a great time... Changing paths, views and ideas. If some of you had really tough situations (any kind) and u want to change. Why not? Things dont change, only we change. If am wrong, then just think about it. This is not the case for these labours. When i gave them a new year wishes, their face were still the same as before. For them, its just another day of work. Some of them actually forgot or dont know that its the new year. All of them miss their families. For them, a new year, or the other occasions lies in their hometown. Happiness lies in their heart of families...They left their family and evrything..... Just to support them...As soon as they get salaries, they send it to thier families as soon as possible and spend very little for themselves.And because of this, they have become thin and weak.. They actually looked entirely different from what they originally were before (before leaving india). They work like anything, under the sorching sun and sometimes doesnt eat food because it costs them. They just drink water to fulfill their thirst and hunger.Yet they never complained about their work and their hard times. When i asked them... To eat more and ask for the raise.. They wud say ' no problem, as long as my family are happy... I live' I was stunned by their reply. How true they said. They live and earn by happiness, inspite of their tough times. And look at us, we have everything and we ask for more.... And we are somehow not happy...If u are like that, for eg, tough times, more workload, more studies, no time and all , then imagine these labours... If u r with ur family, then be happy for you are with them.... Bcos not all r lucky. If u r working away from ur family, then be happy for u r serving ur family.... Which they will be happy and ultimately makes u happy. Moreover u have friends to spend time or share feelings... If no friends and away from family, then orkut is the solution for u. Yes, of course, do change if the organisation doesnt pay u well or follow the rules. I know it wud be difficult to leave as it has to be simple, straight & diplomatic. But be clear and straight forward. Get the things sorted out. I am not promoting happiness nor i am in some volunteering club. I dont follow spirituality either....I just said the practical things and the facts of life. Which i called this as Factuality... In short, reality... And the fact is that, some people do it for their happiness & some for sake of other's happiness... Which ultimately leads to one point..... Happiness...
