Drug use in India

 Have you ever taken weed or tobacco or alcohol? Well I took tobacco once in a hookah and the after effects were amazing. Luckily I am not addicted to it now but, is this kind of addiction good?

No, weed addiction is not good and promoting any kind of intoxicating substance is not the motive of my blog, we will just be talking about it's medical benefits, should it be legal and Bhang's significance in Hindu religion.

Yes, weed and other substances do have some medical benefits. Says re search.

Ayurveda has used cannabis and other drugs to treat diseases like epilepsy and it also helps in relieving pain and stress.

Bhang is legal in some Indian states like Madhya Pradesh and Gujrat and people consume it openly.

Pharma companies use a certain composition of it as painkillers in their medicines

But then, Why does the society sees it in a negative way? Why is Bhang legal and not Charas and Ganja?

Weed and all the other drugs are addictive and once a person is addicted it is very hard to quit, so this is the one reason why society neglects it.

 Other reason maybe because the pharmaceutical companies in India wanted their medicines to be taken by people as pain relievers and not natural things like cannabis(weed) or bhang.[business motive]

Now people are paying more money in buying costly medicines rather than consuming cheap drugs like charas .[Maybe these drugs can be used as an alternative to costly medicines but not for any other use ]

Bhang is legal maybe because of it’s mention in religious texts as something consumed  by lord Shiva.

People take bhang in the name of Lord Shiva but, I feel bhang was just a symbol used to depict how lord Shiva was engrossed in his meditation that he was unaffected by the outside world(something which happens when you are not in your senses). It was his deep meditation which made him loose connection with the world and not bhang. Well this is what I think.

Even with all these benefits or drugs it is still bad for the nervous system and we can’t consume it legally everywhere. So is there an alternative to it which is safe?

Yes, and the answer is meditation.

What is Multiverse

  Before diving deep into the concept let’s talk about simple astronomy.  What is a universe? I know most people will just skip as they are either afraid of cosmos or are just uninterested. Here we will not talk about the universe from astronomy perspective using complex words like dark matter, anti matter, energy etc ,rather we will consider universe as everything we see around ourselves.(from a reality perspective)  A little dive into astronomical terms. Covering the very basic(warna ek  duusra puura blog banana padega iske uupar jo tum bich me bore hoke chodh doge) We live on earth which is a planet inside a galaxy. A galaxy is a group of planets ,stars(like sun), meteors, asteroids etc. Many galaxies together form a cluster and many clusters together form the observable universe, observable because it is still expanding and we don't know where it's end is. Other meaning being observable is what you see, unaware of other planets just talking about earth or at a sm...

Yet another YJHD reflect

Every time I watch this movie, my perspective shifts and deepens. When I was younger, even just a year ago, I adored the first part of the film. The adventurous trip to Manali, the wild antics, and the exhilarating "Balam Pichkari" song gave me goosebumps—I still dream of celebrating Holi like that someday. However, now I find myself merely enduring that part. At 21, these are my days to embrace such craziness, and I fully intend to seize them. But as I've grown, I've realized the true essence of the movie emerges in the latter half, eight years into the story. Viewing Bunny and Avi from a neutral standpoint and relating to the friend who lives abroad and strives to mend friendships, I see their actions in a new light. They were both right in their ways. Bunny's realization of what he missed, especially when reminiscing about his father, is poignant. One scene that always strikes me is the kiss between Naina and Bunny. I feel it shouldn't have happened. Naina ...

Random check of my condition

 If you have clicked on this blog then maybe you want to know what I am going through. But seriously why? Why would anyone want to know what is going on . You know one good way to create track of your activities and share what you did the whole day, is snapchatting it. Putting some snaps daily  is really popular amongst youngsters(P.S I am an uncle aged 50). I have wondered many times why people send snaps. Is it because it makes them look cool? My friend JP sure wants to look cool that's why he shares snaps, but that's not the actual reason I have seen people who do not want any attention in there lives and still sharing even the minutest thing happening in their lives. So they don't want to look cool. So what the hell do they want from snapchats?(P.S people do stuff because they want something in return, mostly). Maybe it's there way of telling how they feel! And people are kinda supportive. They see snaps, they send their snaps and sometimes even remind" Bro it...
