Moments of Heroism

Hi all,
To be true this topic popped up in my mind while i was playing cricket with some kannadi boys near my PG in Bangalore. Near to our so called playground( near to PG ),there is a drainage where our team had already sacrificed 2-3 tennis balls.So one fine day( to be precise in the morning ) we all were playing cricket and one batsman hit a shot but to our dismay the ball went to take a bath in the drainage.
We all were wondering about the fate of this new ball and at the same time thinking about the ways to get the ball ( as this time we were able to locate the ball luckily ! ).Some said we shd use a stick but tht wont be enough another shouted,some broached idea to carry a person upside down in the drainage but it was abhorred by all.
We have deployed all the tricks,but the only viable solution of the problem seemed to be to convince one person to go in the drainage and get the ball.And again to convince a person to perfom such a task is really formidable.We all were wondering what to do next and at the same time a nearby caretaker come to the spot and asked us wts the problem, we explained him the same and after listening to the whole story with a mysterious smile on his face he agreed to get the ball.
He manouvered in the drainage and got the ball, and we all clapped,paised him for this task and he too njoid the moment. That was his moment, his moment of importance, his moment of significance, his very moment where he has got recognition by an elite society,his moment of Heroism.
During my childhood days i ve read situations are primarily responsible for emergence of a hero.Its not predecided, its the moment which decides about a hero,which marks him separate from the rest of us.
May be his endeavours if u fathom afterwards may not seem to you charming but the circumstances under which the valor has been shown is the matter of consideration/of worth noticing.
We all have hero in ourselves, sometimes under certain circumstances though for a particular task we promote somebody else but deep inside our hearts we all have a desire to perform the task by ourselves and may be one lucky day turn out as our day, our "Moments of Heroism" .

Science,Religion and Human Being

Hi,
The book "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown has instigated desire in my heart to write something about this unsolved mystery & undoubtedly the biggest question in front of Homo Sapiens till date. "The question itself is pretty simple we just want to resolve the ultimate source of Genesis- our existence - human evolution".
The most accepted theory of Genesis is "Big Bang theory",but this theory itself fails at the point called point of singularity where all the mathematical equations fail.That means scenario before the point of singularity cannot be explained by mathematical equations.This point is taken as the beginnig point of Religion.Even the renowned scientists agree to the fact that big bang theory explaination is not possible without the presence of a Giant enrgy source which finally exploded.This vast energy source is described as "The Almighty God".This source which is regarded as the ultimate source/reason for our existence is still a mystery.Niether Science nor religion has a satisfatory explaination for the same.
According to hindu Mythology the ultimate aim of every human being on earth is to strive for "Moksha Prapti" which means no further birth and our soul be merged with the "Parmatma" like rivers merge with sea.
I dont think we are safe under the assumptions that all the holy books, temples , miracles are just fake since u cannot make all the persons fool all the time.No doubt some of them are exxagerated but at least that privelege should be given to Poets isnt it.? No doubt Sceince has progresses pretty well and has shattered some of the dogmas or myths. But as per the Brown book saying Sceince is still very naive and has not attained that level of understanding that it can make an entry in the foohold of God, The fortress of Almighty.
Einstein's rightly said "God Does not play dice with the universe", and i m confused to on one point...is it mandatory that each and every thing that happen must have a reason...dont u have faced situations where something has happened but still u dont have words to explain it/ to put forward. I dont think everything can be explained in words and mathematical equations...? Will Science be ever able to measure the Love of a mother in a equation based on certain factors..? do we have any mathematical equation which fits correctly to our emotions, out predeliction towards somebody without any reason........? Why we dont wonder that everything that has been on planet is as per a perfect system and a single deviation from the present situation will lead to annihilation and all these cannot be just a simple coincidecne where something explodes and lead to perfect placement of all the items to their perfect locations.
No doubt sceince can explain some of the questions but not all.......
Sceince on the other hand too contributed for the well-being of society by pulverizing so many diseases,wonderous inventions etc...
Thus according to me science and religion are complimentary to each other,they can co-exist and flourish and can work for the well-being of human being.
