Rebati Mohan Sinha All of us criticise at one time or other; but there are some BM people who criticise, regardless of what they know or not. Criticising has become a way of life for them ; they cannot stop cribbing , wherever they are , whatever they are doing, or whatever happening to them, they keep on criticising ! Those who criticise constantly, do not wish to take responsibility for themselves and their actions. When we complain and criticise constantly , we are inviting negativity into our lives.  In a democracy, criticism is welcome against institutions, like Mahasabha, by individuals and representatives as that gives a fillip to the self corrective process. The very fact that NGOs like Mahasabha, aspire to improve the lives of the poor, means that they have committed themselves in some manner to perform activities on behalf of others, their ability to accomplish what is expected out of them. Such organisations are, therefore, not free of critiques, expectati...

By Rebati Mohan Sinha This morning, while returning home from morning walk, I happened to meet a group of Muslim brethren of our housing society, who were coming out of the lift , wearing smile in their faces, wishing me 'Eid Mubarak', which I immediately reciprocated and asked myself, is it a spiritual socialisation? They would exchange gifts, met their neighbours and eat and drink together. These interactive activities continue the whole day. What is the purpose of this interaction? The purpose is to share one's thoughts with others, to share   the wisdom gained during the festive days. These activities, or spiritual socialisation, are not meant to last just for a day. This culture must be continued for the full year, only to be renewed during the next festival; but how far it is possible ? We are just trying to safeguard our social custom and traditions. We have sent satellites into space and achieved a global presence in the field of IT. Despite this , o...
