Virus is sprawling on the net. Not only with the malicious attachments but in the minds of people too. The dream of a trauma free net is hazy with also the virus alerts every new day and its time netizens realize the reality and have sense of moral values and responsibility. Symantec company in its latest Internet Security Threat Report said that hackers are using "blended threats" that combine the capabilities of different types of viruses to carry out their attacks. Blended threats, which include worms that can burrow into computer systems by sending themselves over a network or attaching onto e-mail, accounted for 60 percent of malicious code submissions in the first half of 2003.Symantec's Tony Vincent says 'There's a continued focus by the bad guys on vulnerabilities based on Microsoft's Web server product and Internet Explorer and most of the attacks focus on Microsoft Corp's software which provide largest opportunity to infect large number of computers. The Blaster worm has been one example that devastated hundreds of thousands of computers worldwide.

Even if you encounter a ‘cyber word war’ aimed on religion in a chat room or cyber terrorism, it's best to stay cool. Its here that Tolerance implies love and not showing hatred ness in the hearts as life is a journey and never a destination. All one passes through is ‘an experience’ and finally, it’s the unconditional love that is eternal, not a relationship, pure and genuine that surrounds life. Osho said “Face it and see the truth” and life is beautiful and not a battleground, after all.

All said and done – Cyber Terrorism is on sprawl and Cyber wars on move, Virus is in the minds of Tech savvy Terrorists who have sprawled on the Internet with word wars, virus weapons and what not!

Religion is the faith which inspires one to be truthful, to believe in God and do what is right and minimize the sins. Faith in a lifetime makes you disciplined, builds the courage, confidence and gives the strength. Religion grew as codes of conduct, as rules to keep society functioning with minimum chaos and this are quite obvious – all religions speak of what to do and what not! Humans make the classifications of religion, Hinduism, muslim, christainity and all. Do loud aartis amplified by loudspeakers and all kinds of religious rally help anyone follow faith better? Why pretend its about religion? It’s prayers maybe. A way of communicating with god and reaching his domain in a calm, spiritual area to purifiy mind, cleanse the soul. It’s a longing to free from hardships, freedom from fear, clear vision of life, pardon for sins, removal of suffering and offering gratitude for happiness.! From age old time, rulers have almost used religion as a magnet for drawing soldiers to the battlefield. As such, politicians have used religion as a weapon and motivate feelings of communalism or work in their self interest for Vote banks which hamper the nation’s secularism! The attitude should be to live and let live. Greed, temptation, gossip, bickerings, self centeredness and any evil disguises are to be overcome.

Stress syndrome leads to depression making the person lost and forlorn! It is a killer disease with deadly stings to bite the victim and that victim could be anyone –You, me or us. The wisdom is to enlighten the mind as a mind in darkness is like hell. With the changing of time, there has to be a change with the change and not change after the change. However, students are caught up in the rat race of educating themselves and procuring percentages, parents caught up in the struggle to balance life and keep it on a steady pace to meet unlimited demands whereas the elderly people are in the midst of  passing through a phase of the generation gap who only need to adjust with the times. Harmony is the key and unity is the solution added with zest of love and understanding. There is a combination of external and internal factors for the cause of stress and as a matter of fact, the figures are on a rise with multiple cases of diabetes, thyroid, pressure problems, mental disorders, etc. It is the need of the hour to relax, cool down, think and Act! Utility cannot be satisfied and human mind craves for more and more. This is where you draw the line. Stop. Be Cautious. Your Life is in danger and than, if one has a healthy mind and a healthy body, one can enjoy otherwise its no use, afterall!
 

Mystyfying myths remain mysterious and people all over the world are way heading for the Occult! Even the kids dragged into the belief of Witches n demons n magic n Satanism....The new release 'Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling, Mary Grandpre (Illustrator). is a craze for read among kids and one wonders that Is that a right step of some schools in Australia who've banned reading of the book as it leaves bad impression and creates evil image in minds of kids?

Children need to dream their imagination through the stories and if their read cover the witches n satans, its thrill n exciting but not at the cost of tender hearts! Sure Enid Blytons & famous five were great adventures and evergreen reads too....Parents need to realize this!

I recently read this book and feel How oft we create a wave to spell trouble with our own perfections being true and honest with good faith and intentions? We take on too much not saying what we want and that's exactly what the book reveals - the niceness mistakes that 'Damage' us! Unconsciously, we have planted strong messages in the back of our minds and with good intentions by our mentors, follow the moral code of conducts in life. Be good, be nice, be cool, share and care, don't be selfish, be reasonable, don't hurt others, help friends, say yes and so on. In real, trying to reach perfection and taking on too much lead us to exhaustion and sooner or later the ship of our life start sinking. The author gives an insight to the nine unconscious mistakes we often make daily and helps us correct them and pulls a person out of frustration and stress. In not saying what you want and taking on too much, it leads to suppressed anger. Robinson provides healthy tips to express anger to orchestrate a balanced life. Life itself is like riding a bike up and down roads that are bumpy, curvy, hilly while juggling bananas, balloons and bowling balls says Robinson and so this is when you have a fall, life needs balancing back to pedal and steer with too much/too little, too rational/too emotional, to fast/too slow, too cautious/too reckless, too strong/too weak, etc. and remain upright empowering to get what you need and deserve. Irony is, sometimes our niceness betrays us and this book is a key to understanding our mistakes and bring about a 'change' in us. Robinson makes us a nicer person making one realise the mistakes, why we make and how to give up. In doing so, Robinson guides in:
1. Liberating from the bondage of other's expectations
2. Saying no and saving work overloads
3. Telling what we want and analyze what we receive is worth or not
4. Express anger that heal and maintain relationships too.
5. Face irrationality and criticism
6. Tell truth to friends when they fail us
7. Care for others but do no burden own trying to run their lives.
8. In pain and grief, feel competent enough

A change is always welcome even for the nice to be nicer and avoid the mistakes that we keep making out of the blue. Our good intentions turn out to be damn-in-way for others who often misunderstand or shrug off not appreciating your worth as human being. This book is indeed a gem collection for every person who has learned to live being 'Nice' and remain being so without being emotionally hung up sometimes. Good Pick!

Recently we read the War News, watch the Television and it gives us a Thought 'Is Saddam The Terrible or Bush The Criminal? Is this a Dangerous Game or Is it the World War ahead brewing? Gawd Knows! Whatever, whatever, It's Terrible - People are Dying, Suffering and not only the Iraqis, also the Americans. Who is to be blamed is not the question, World peace vision is getting dimmer n simmering....God Save the World.

“Why do people have to Fight and kill”?
Why is the scare of the Biological warfare and the Anthrax?
Why do humans perish?

The Seeds of the Future are being sown each minute. They are goint to sprout into strange, hybrid plants. The results of this battle for Baghdad is fearful. The Law of Unintended Consequences has begun to operate even before Saddam Hussein has been eliminated. War somehow has never changed since the dawn of history. The weapons have changed, with an exponential increase in the extent of killings and destruction that is possible. War itself is an ugly word that is barbaric and brutal. Has Bush breeding the grounds of Terrorists? Is this the game War for Power? Are Americans heading the World for Destruction or fuelling fire to Terrorists? Who Knows...but sure, Victims are Children too...The Future generations to be! Criminals? Terrorists? The noise of sirens and terror of battle can drive kids speechless, low esteemed, aggressive, angry and it’s during these times, they need love and compassion with a flavor of understanding and nurture the relationships with the Commandments of parenting. Half a Million or more Iraqi children caught in fighting may be left so traumatised they will need psychological help.There are around 5.7 million primary school age children.half a million children in Basra, Najaf Kerbala and Baghdad would possibly be in need of psycho-social rehabilitation once they go back in.This is Terrible! Brutal Terrorism & Injustice done is gonna be 'Jihad' A sword in hand to protect oneself, is it????? It is shattering to see the death n ruins, be it Iraq or America.....God Save the World!
