very true, it is uncomparable. It is growing with leaps and bounds but will be limited but  real world  infinite ideas abound ,with capacity of zillions  of such and better  virtual worlds to come up.

Ranjith

The world is in a transition from a real world to a  virtual world. Ideas are abundant and one such idea has given rise to the blogosphere that is today the cause for the creationof a zillion virtual worlds.

Blogging is indeed a virtual medium but it is a very unique way to express yourself and also you can meet up with lots of Bloggers who happen to be in your area.
CAT Mentor
from Bangalore
12 years ago

Blogging cannot be compared to real world because people express whatever they want people to know and can easily conceal whatever they don't want people to know about them. Whereas in reality though its possible to conceal facts, but its not so easy. 

 

Santosh BS
from Bangalore
12 years ago

Yes, blogging is another virtual world filled with real people and real life scenarios and experiences. So it does definitely have a relation to real life ( and this depends on the topics you choose...)!

Arti
from Mumbai
12 years ago

True, there exists a thin line separating the two. And there are positive and negative points on either side of the line in favour of each of them. One good point of this virtual world called Blogging is that it helps us bridge distance gaps and reach out to people whom we may otherwise miss out in the real world.

Ranjith
from hyderabad
12 years ago

@ DS Yes, the virtual medium offers a greater number of relations than what the real world offers!

Ranjith
from hyderabad

@ CAT Mentor A very good point! Feelings are something which many have tried to conceal since ages but have also failed to do so. I have written a blog post about the same on my virtual space.

inner zeal to express, and be heard. 

Ranjith
from hyderabad
12 years ago

@ Pramod Almost a similar thing here but the only difference is that it is not the zeal but the depression arising from the afct that I might not have anybody to listen to me in the future.

There was a song I learnt first ad a child, it was "when you are happy and you know it , clap your hands , clap clap" So one always looks to express & share his happiness too, and blogging has come up as a boon, and he instantly jots down.
When you are happy and you know it and you really want to show it , clap your hands, clap, clap,
Now the koan seems to have become, when you are happy and you know it, and you really wanna show it, BLOG, BLOG.

CAT Mentor
from Bangalore

I would rate it as 7.

Reasons:

My blog has helped many MBA aspirants in realizing their dreams, which gives me lot of satisfaction. Through this blog I have guided & mentored more than 600 MBA aspirants with their queries.

In last 2 months my blog has managed to jump from alexa rank of 6,500,000 to 571,982 which again gives me lot of satisfaction.

 

Still there are lot of ideas/optimizations in my mind which I am yet to implement hence rating as 7.

Santosh BS
from Bangalore

I would be happy with 7 as I have seen better managed blogs than mine... A couple of niggles need to sorted out that would propel it to probably 8 or 9 shortly.

Arti

I dont know maybe 6 :-S I dont know Seo, dont promote my posts on social media... Many times I feel my template is not good... The list goes on... But one must never stop learning, the day you think you are the best, someone will speed past you, because there are newer things to learn every day:)

Life showers everything equally on everyone. one may think of it as lesson serving, but it goes on doing endlessly all it's tasks without fail. The breath we take in and out, that too, we should thank  nature, otherwise many would forget to take the in breath or confuse themselves with in and out and pass away. 

Sorrow keeps you human,Failure keeps you humble,Success keeps you glowing, But only God keeps you going.
CAT Mentor

Life is like a great teacher which tries to impart knowledge to all its disciple's without being unjust. Life wants us to be stronger to face all challenges, thats why it keeps giving us lessons, Even though we reject to learn from them still experience of such lessons makes us stronger and enabling us to cope up with difficult situations.

" God" term in hindi is called "bhagawan"  which literally means a person with a bhaga, (halo). 

when one see's from the deep eyes, one can see, nothing is imperfect, or obsolete. everything originates and reverts back to the godly supreme force.

CAT Mentor
from Bangalore
12 years ago

God is almighty, he is the creator of feelings & emotions which are so amazing & so perfect !

I believe God has left perfection at the will of human being. Its not easy to attain amidst so much of distractions, greed & ego, it's also not impossible to achieve. It could achieved by constantly striving for it and by controlling one's greed, selfishness, anger, ego etc.

Arti
from Mumbai
12 years ago
Well God made us perfect, as a child we are pure, with no ill feelings... Even if someone beats a small child, it smiles a few moments later... It is what we become afterwards, which is entirely upto us, that we learn to lie, envy others, become selfish, manipulative, etc...
Ranjith

@ Pramod Yes, looking through the eyes of the creator, everything might seem perfect. The way things are seen depends on the person seeing them.

@ Arti That was an other good explanation. As a child, we were perfect and had no ill feelings in our heart. But the society changes us as we grow up. And if we refuse to change, we may become the odd one and feel lonely but still we get a satisfaction that cannot be understood by those who are walking with teh rest of the society.

the day a man proclaims he is 'perfect' in all sense, he has nothing else to live for and that's the reason god wantingly left the out of us and has given us the freedom to be as perfect as possible :)

Question 4:

If we, towards the end of our life, get reduced to ashes and take nothing with us except our soul, then what is the need to establish healthy relationships with the people around us?

In this short span of stay in the body, maintaining healthy relations makes life more peaceful and blissful. spat of anger upon others, harms more to the person carrying it within his mind. Like acid eats away it's container.

Relationship which we build is more or less between our souls and  the soul of other people. In the begining when we meet someone we may feel inclined towards someone based on their appearence but later it's the two souls which decides whether a lasting relationship is formed or not. Healthy Relationship makes our soul happy and keeps it at peace.

I will give my answer as a quote "When you were born, you cried while everyone laughed, live your life in such a way, that when you die, you laugh and the world cries"... It is possible only when you maintain peace and harmony with everyone.

@ Pramod That might be what life is all about: living happily until we have the right to live.

@ CAt mentor Well said! The relationships are between the sould and every holy scripture be it teh Bhagwad Gita or the Bible speaks of teh permanenet existence of the soul.

@ Arti That was a wonderful quote! Life is all about establishing relationships that wil continue to live even after our death.

Santosh BS

I'm not sure if this question is framed in the right way?

when we are reduced to ashes and only the soul remains, the identity of 'you' is lost (its in the ashes) and its gets a new identity after its reborn right?

I would second Arti's quote here and your life would be meaningful if you were to have 10 good people around you craving for you when you die and that's possible only if your relationship with them and the world is 'healthy'.
