Do you still get angry??

One day Buddha was walking through a village. A very angry and rude young man came up and began insulting him. “You have no right teaching others,” he shouted. “You are as stupid as everyone else. You are nothing but a fake.”

Buddha was not upset by these insults. Instead he asked the young man “Tell me, if you buy a gift for someone, and that person does not take it, to whom does the gift belong?”

The man was surprised to be asked such a strange question and answered, “It would belong to me, because I bought the gift.”

The Buddha smiled and said, “That is correct. And it is exactly the same with your anger. If you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, then the anger falls back on you. You are then the only one who becomes unhappy, not me. All you have done is hurt yourself.”

“If you want to stop hurting yourself, you must get rid of your anger and become loving instead. When you hate others, you yourself become unhappy. But when you love others, everyone is happy.”

Yes, I am a Hindu and I'm no different from a Muslim sitting next to me

When Lok Sabha elections are underway, political parties are leaving no stone unturned to assure their victory. Not only political parties but everyone including the media is cashing on the elections to the fullest.

Round the clock there is one or the another election story being aired on television channels and the one common thing in them is the mention of Hindus and Muslims. Say it a shame or an irony but yes in the 21st century we have leaders who talk about people on the basis of religion and community.

This morning I woke up and learnt that a VHP leader has ordered his supporters to evict Muslims from Hindu areas. If I am not mistaken we live in a democracy that follows a Constitution. And that very Constitution empowers us to live where ever we like to. I am a Hindu studying in an University which is, as per law, a minority institution. It's been almost 3 years and I never felt being different from a Muslim boy or girl sitting next to me in my class. No one asked me my religion while sharing my lunchbox or peeping into my answer-sheet during examinations. We have enjoyed each other success and at the same time consoled faliures. To someone of my age it's hardly a point to be Hindu or Muslim but what matters is peace and harmony in society.

When we talk about India Shining and India 2020, these statements are a slap on our progressive thoughts and ideas.

In a country with 125 crore people suffering from illiteracy, inflation and unemployment are religion, caste and social following the main issue, aren't these so called lovers of Mother India supposed to think about the real time problems?

To be honest, we don't want a Hindu or a Muslim but an Indian to prosper, kindly work on this.

Display Gadgets only in Home Page in Blogger

This article is about how to set up a gadget / widget in Blogger so that it is only visible on the first place that a reader sees when they visit your blog (often called the "home page")

Step 1: Go to “Template” in Dashboard  and choose “Edit Html” Option.

Step 2:    Find the Gadget-Id  by pressing “Ctrl+F” keys and search the gadget name.

Step 3: Find the code for your gadget:

Example:

 <b:section class='main' id='main' showaddelement='no'>

<b:widget id='Text1' locked='false' title='Test gadget' type='Text'/>

<b:widget id='Blog1' locked='true' title='Blog Posts' type='Blog'/>

Step 4: Click on the Expand Widget Templates checkbox (so it's turned on)

After the expanded template, find the widget name again.  This time it will look a bit longer (the exact details depend on what type of widget/gadget it is.)

 <b:section class='main' id='main' showaddelement='no'>

<b:widget id='Text1' locked='false' title='Test gadget' type='Text'>

<b:includable id='main'>

  <!-- only display title if it's non-empty -->

  <b:if cond='data:title != &quot;&quot;'>

  <h2 class='title'><data:title/></h2>

  </b:if>

  <div class='widget-content'>

  <data:content/>

  </div>

<b:include name='quickedit'/>

</b:includable>

</b:widget>

<b:widget id='Blog1' locked='true' title='Blog Posts' type='Blog'>

Step 5:  Add conditional formatting

You need to put conditional formatting code around the code for the gadget - makings sure that it doesn't go around the code for anything else!  (which is why you noted what comes afterwards in step

Copy and pAste this code below this line  <b:includable id='main'>

The code to use is this.  

<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>

and close this code by </b:if>

Thats it Enjoy :)
