Have you ever seen classes where tigers are taught to hunt, monkeys to jump
or cows being trained to abstain from eating flesh? Then what are we being
preached and why? Do our religious heads and scriptures consider us even
worse than animals?

Quotations
Sarcasm
Laxmi, the Goddess of Wealth sits on an 'Ullu' (An owl is called 'Ullu' in Hindi
which also means a fool)...but here, 24 x 7 we are busy fooling each other. Even
if Laxmi wants to, on whom would she sit?
-Deep Trivedi
There are about 330 million gods and goddesses described in Hindu scriptures.
Even on the basis of the population at present, this works out to be around
one God for every 3 individuals. Still looking at the conditions prevalent in our
country, they seem to be busy elsewhere... I feel rather than relying on them, it
is high time that we engage ourselves for the welfare of our country.
-Deep Trivedi
Population can be a liability as well as an asset. If every citizen works, only then
can population be an asset. When one person earns and supports four, it is
dangerous not only for the family, but even for the country... In that case, where
is the question of fostering these pundits and sannyasins?
-Deep Trivedi
What can be said of the human brilliancy? Every day, it comes up with hundreds
of schemes to bring upon its own destruction.
-Deep Trivedi
Many a times despite feeling hungry we observe fast and at times inspite of
having an urge to play, we go to school... We don't even remember when and
how did these teachings to kill the natural desires begin?
-Deep Trivedi
As soon as the aircraft was invented, there were people who came forward to
claim that it was possessed by 'Rama' long ago. But the question is, what do we
gain out of these claims? Even today, we have to travel in the aircrafts invented
by 'Wright Brothers' only.
-Deep Trivedi
Don't know where and when did the concept of God in the form of human, his
imaginary powers...and fantasies like heaven and hell begin? Whatever be the
case, today they have become a source of livelihood for more than 50 million
pundits, priests and maulvis.
-Deep Trivedi
Those who are fundamentalists and refuse to listen to anything said against them,
we call them terrorists. Don't you find similar traits in majority of our religious
heads? If this wasn't true then why were Socrates, Mansoor and Jesus killed?
-Deep Trivedi
What is more valuable, the car or you? Certainly you... Then instead of the car,
why don't you wear a necklace of lemon and chillies, as it is you, who is more at
risk.
-Deep Trivedi
