Blog Theme Theology

When I started this blog.I didnt really think a theme was necessary.However now after a very long time,I feel a theme is necessary because 'You need to stand for something , or you will fall for anything'[How cliched can you get!!]

Going forward my posts are going to be primarily on theology related items.The theme of my blog is 'Faith seeking understanding' .All of us were brought up in some religion because our parents were so.But as we become more and more mature I feel it is necessary to go back critically evaluate and understand the belief systems we have imbibed from childhood.

We critically evaluate almost every other thing in life be it a utility purchase, a life partner choice , a career choice etc. But we somehow have forgotten the need to evaluate the religion we follow.Religion is the lens through which we view the world and it affects almost everything we do.Therefore to understand why you follow something becomes very important.Ritualistic religion which we see practiced around is really going to get us no-where

Though the views on this blog are primarily from a Christian Standpoint.I am sure it would be very useful to others who have an inquisitiveness in theology related aspects

Disclaimer: I dont claim to have the answers to everything or to have everything figured out :).Therefore I might not have the maturity/knowledge to engage in meaningful dialogue on certain issues

A Historic moment for India

In a historic moment that ended more than three decades of nuclear isolation for India, the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) decided to resume global nuclear trade with New Delhi.
The NSG's decision to grant India a clean waiver from its existing rules, which forbade nuclear trade with a country which has not signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), came on saturday after intense lobbying by both India and the US

This decision also frees India to sign bilateral civil nuclear cooperation agreements with France and Russia, who were both instrumental in getting the deal through

Some sceptics in the nuclear club(Austria and New zealand for instance) resisted till the last minute , but relented after coming under intense pressure from the US.These countries were proposing termination of all nuclear business if India resumed Testing.

However India's case is a very unique one .We have imposed on ourself a 'voluntary moratorium' after 1998 .Thus a set of India specific conditions were drawn up so that the deal could go through without India signing the NPT.Our impeccable record with respect to 'non proliferation concerns' was also a big factor which helped the deal go through .
Cheers to clean and green Nuclear power.!!!!

MMORPGs-My experiences

For a person like me who grew up playing the conventional single player game(CS,Max Payne,Roadrash anyone ??).This was a completely new gaming experience for me ...

An MMORPG ( massively multiplayer online role-playing game ) is a genre of games in which a large number of players interact with one another in a virtual world ,mostly in a combat or competitive environment .

This MMORPG enables you to interact with people from all over the country,much the same as in real life you can make friends ( or even enemies if you like ),talk ,chat with them .Of course you can find people of all sorts of people here good ,bad,ugly included..

Also you get active recoginition if you achieve something herculean or stupendous in the game , but you do however need a group of 'virtual friends' to celebrate it with .

All in all an MMORPG is something which everyone should try( Of course if you get glued to the screen , with your jaws dropping and fingers aching, and your eyes bloodshot dont blame me). In the end though MMORPGs teach you a lot about 'Real Life' as well
