RUSSIA'S  WAR  WITH UKRAINE


               Russia launched its military invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022. This war has 

continued so far without interruption. Russian president Vladimir Putin has initiated this illegitimate 

attack on another sovereign nation, in violation of international norms. President Volodymyr Zelenski

of Ukraine and its people have put up a valiant defense against this attack on their country, The war has 

caused a large number of civilian deaths in Ukraine due to deliberate attack on civilian areas by 

Russian army. Hundreds, if not thousands, of homes have been destroyed. A great number of Ukranian 

women and children have been evacuated from their homes and have become refugees either in their 

own country or in other countries.  USA and many European countries have helped Ukraine in its 

defense efforts in the  form of military supplies and have stood firmly in opposition to Russian 

invasion. This war has already caused substantial harm to economies of many countries of the world.


               There is no end in sight but lately Yukranians have achieved notable success in several battles

and have forced Russian army to withdraaw from some towns. I wholeheartedly salute President 

Zelensky and Ukranian people for their courage and bravery in their fight.

                                                            ATTITUDE           In our life and death  there are very few things we can control. Our mental attitude is one of those things which we can relatively control. Our attitude toward things and  people plays a large role in our being happy or miserable.           Some of our suffering is caused by being bothered about what other people think or  talk about  us. Think: "other people's feelings or opinions do not touch my skin. Why  should   I be bothered? It is OK if some people do not like me. So what?"           We often make ourselves miserable by brooding about regrets and resentments  of the past: Why did my father always put me down? Why did I not get admission to a...

                                                TO BE GRATEFUL  &  TO BE FORGIVING                Remembering somebody who has enriched our life, with a sense of gratitude, gives a  soothing feeling to our heart. From our parents, our teachers, great writers, to inspiring leaders:  frequently and sincerely expressing our gratefulness to those who have helped us in any way, brings  peace to our mind.                Another thing to do to be happier is to let go of past resentments. To forgive someone who may have offended us in the past is a wise thing to do. Just as carrying a light luggage in travel  makes our journey more comfortable, reducing vengefulness toward  persons who may have caused us  a grief at some point in life, relieves us of a bu...

ISM      Ism is an ideology held with such fervor by its believers that it leads them to forcefully oppose any system which differs from their own. History is replete with such ideologies and they are prevalent even today. The genocide of Jews that took place in Europe during the middle of twentieth century under Hitler's Nazism (belief in Aryan Supremacy) still makes our heart tremble with disbelief. Under Stalin's communist rule in Soviet Union, millions of innocent people lost their lives. During the campaign of collective farming enforced in 1950s under Mao's communism, hundreds of thousands of people died of starvation or systematic killing in China.      We have witnessed the collapse of communist economic system near the end of twentieth century. We have also seen deep recession that occurred in U.S.A. in 2008, when capitalist market system was allowed to run without any checks.      No one holds monopoly on truth. Mahatma Gandhi's lif...
