April 12 my take on religion...One of the many reasons which have hold us back from achieving spiritual nirvana is this so called religion. So exactly what is religion??? As of what I see, there are many different religions, all of them seem to appear different from others superficially but at the core they all are same… They are basically set of rules which we are suppose to follow to reach close to god… so there are people who follow this rules yet they are suffering… that's pretty strange !!! BTW this all so called religion & their rules have been put in place by some wise ass old farts that were as mortal as we are and may be some what less ignorant as we are today.
Well at least it's really difficult for me to believe that the so called god gave Moses the Ten Commandments, the rules by which he wants his children to live and if they don't follow these rules then they have to face the music. God is supposed to be compassionate, but from this he seems to be like a dictator. It's like if u don't do this I'll fuck your happiness by throwing your teeny weeny ass in hell.
I really feel that religion should not be organized, its something personal n it should let it be that way. The current form of organized religion is nothing but a way to enslave people spiritually and keep them in control. All religion say is that you need not search the truth, its already been found n you just need to have faith, faith in Jesus, faith in ram, faith in mahavira….
Todays Religion is an medium to enslave ppl. Both god n devil r just a myth, so r heaven n hell. We r not special we r not unique. We r same old degrading n decomposing being like everything else. Religion is a tool used by rich n powerful to maintain their status quo. This becomes very clear from this phase from da bible "Blessed r da poor,bcoz they will inherit kingdom of god". Ppl r given false hope. Its Same as how carrot is hanged in front of da mule so it continues with a hope of gettin a snack, but we know its just a deception. Poor n underprivileged r like da mule. They r made to live their lives in misery n to avoid ne revolt, they r told that they will inherit da kingdom of god...
January 19 The struggle within : Finding the "I" in myselfwe are born alone and we all die alone, we are all born as an individual and die as an individual, but sadly we don't live as an individual. we try to form group and try to belong. we are afraid to be left alone.
the group which we call society. to belong to this society we have to follow the norms of this society. this norms are made to securer the interest of the society. this interest of the society are secured by destroying the individuality of the person. if all the people start expressing their individuality, then it becomes a threat to the existence of the society. we are trained to follow, trained by our parents, our teachers, our religious leaders, our political leaders... we are made into a slave. hand cuff are put on our hands and our legs our tied with chains. we don't realise this bondage as this are very rosy and society calls it relationships... we have to become a son, a husband , a father and in this process we start losing our individuality, we start living our lives the way others wants us to live and not the way WE want to live.
as we are not living our lives according to our own individual will we tend to be sad, though on the surface we appear all happy, singing & dancing but at the crux of it we are really sad. Society has been so effective in destroying our individual selves that we are made to believe that we are happy and are blissfully unaware of our own misery. that's why we have so many people suffering from heart disease...
Society has made sure that the individual within us is lost, our inner voice has been silent ed by all the commotion from our so called relatives who are directing us to live our life according to the society's will. we end up being miserable, we have all the worldly pleasures yet we don't feel content, we don't feel complete, we are suffering and are not at peace with our body & our soul.
the only way to reincarnate the individual, the "I" in our self is by listening to our inner voice, presently we wont be able to listen to it as the voice may be very faint... we all need to discover our own promise land, doing things which we want to do and not what you could or should do.... that's when we will truly experience happiness and we'll be at peace with our self....

October 30 Everything happens for a reason...Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away they were meant to be there...to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but you lock eyes with them and you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way. And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair, but in reflection of you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would never would realize your potential, strength, will power, or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, love, and lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all acure to test limits of your soul. Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to know where safe and comfortable but dull and otterly pointless. The people you meet affect your life. The successes and the downfalls that you experience can create whom you are and the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart to. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but also because they are teaching you to love and open your heart and eyes to little things. Make everything count. Appreciate everything you possibly can, for you may never experience it again. Talk to people whom you have never talked to before and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have ever right to. Tell yourself you're a great individual and believe in yourself, no on else will believe in you. Create your own life and then go out and live it. -- WildChild http://www.60kph.com http://wildchildsgallery.fotopic.net/ October 14 Motorcycle Film From India To Be Premiered In USA "Riding Solo To The Top Of The World " is a motorcycle journey to http://www.dirttrackproductions.com/trailers/ridingsolo/index.html
September 14 "Riding Solo..."Premier in USA & CanadaHello All July 08 Words of WisdomWords Of Wisdom By Tom Karas Many of us have been told that practice makes perfect. Other people, mainly kids who suck at everything and cant succeed at the tasks given to them, have been told that nobodys perfect, and that they should keep trying. Well in my eyes, if practice makes perfect, and nobodys perfect, then why practice? Exactly. Have you ever considered that the good things that come to those who wait are just leftovers from the people that got there first? If you just sit there and wait, not many good things are going to happen. But on the other hand, if you go out and actually TRY to do something useful, you will usually benefit from it one way or another. Why do you get in trouble for blocking a fire exit when you're standing in the doorway? In case of a fire, wouldn't you run out too, therefore NOT blocking the exit? Some people just dont use common sense when they yell at you for doing these stupid little things. Its a shame of how completely brainless our modern day society is becoming. Why do teachers teach us that violence is not the answer and then have us read about wars in school that solved America's problems? I guess some teachers have their priorities mixed up. But its not their fault Since there is a rule that states "i" before "e" except after "c", wouldn't "science" be spelled wrong? Does this mean that what Mrs. Swenson has been teaching us isnt true? Someones got some explaining to do. If the handicapped bathrooms are for people who cant walk why do they put them at the end of the bathrooms? All of us healthy people have the stalls right up front, but the weak, disabled handicapped people have to go all the way to the back. It makes no sense at all. Im disappointed at the lack of judgment used amongst our fellow carpenters. How come stealing from one book is plagiarism, but stealing from many is research? Wouldnt they both be considered the same thing? I expect much more from The Government System of the United States of America, after all, they think they know it all and have absolutely everything under control. It just goes to show you how unorganized and unprofessional they are. Why do people use the term Happy Camper? Whats so fun about camping out in the woods, roughing it in the wilderness with no TV, video games, or Internet? To top it all off, what about those extremely annoying mosquitoes and other insects that crawl into your tent at night? Yea, that sounds like loads of fun. June 24 Videos and more at 60kph.comThis is the biggest upload since 60kph.com found a home on the internet three years back. Lots to read, lots to personalise, lots to aspire to and lots to share.

You the smallest vehicle on the road, and you survived. The pleasure is when you take off your wristwatch, and see a band of untanned skin. The pleasure is when your motorcycle and you move as one single united form. Whatever shape the road takes, whichever end of the compass it leads to. The pleasure is when you use your hands, arms, thighs, knees and feet to steer. The pleasure is when you take off your riding jacket for a break, and feel the breeze dry your sweat. The pleasure is when you sing to yourself on an empty road. You are the world's best rock star. The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back, when the front wheel lifts, and you take your time bringing it back. The pleasure is when you cut through air, at 50 kph or 100. The pleasure is when you reach a place you never been before, and someone you never seen before asks you for a ride. And comes back grinning. The pleasure is when you wave to village kids, and they wave back. The pleasure is when you almost, almost fall. But dont The pleasure is when you fight the wind, and win. The pleasure is when you get up that narrow path for the view you never forget. The pleasure is when you view the world at an angle. The pleasure is when you eat bugs at 90 kph. The pleasure is when you look at a dust-streaked face in the mirror after a 500 km ride, and don't want to wash up. The pleasure is when your pillion moves with you. The pleasure is when you can see the petrol after a top-up. The pleasure is when your throttle hand has calluses. The pleasure is when you jump a speedbreaker. The pleasure is when you stop to help push a stranded car to the side of the road. The pleasure is when you stop at the smallest of towns, and somebody asks you technical specifications. The pleasure is when your book of roadmaps gets dog-eared, rain-splashed, tea-stained. The pleasure is when you give a stranger a lift. The pleasure is when you have battle-scars. The pleasure is when you can feel the cool morning and the hot afternoon, the light rain and the damp fog. The pleasure is when you leave four-wheeler traffic standing in a jam. The pleasure is when you aren't lulled by an air-conditioner. The pleasure is when you are free. Open. Independent. Liberated. Ride safe, Ride far , Ride often!

Came across this real cool article on the net!! Check it out:)
Throttle Therapy Did you know that motorcycling is also a fine mental exercise that sharpens a number of mental functions including the intelligence, physical co-ordination and overall alertness? At least this is the opinion of San Francisco-based licensed psycho-therapist Roger Lake, as well as any number of riders. You know the old saying, "You never see a motorcycle outside a shrink's office, unless it belongs to the shrink." Roger has been a rider for thirty years now, and he swears that using his two wheels to commute to work keeps him mentally alert and ready to deal with the many problems his clients need to discuss with him. In an interview for Cruiser Customizing News with yours truly, Roger said this of motorcycling, "Motorcycling keeps you awake, alive and attentive because it is a demanding type of sport. Except that in motorcycling the only team member is the one holding the handlebars. The thrill of the ride releases to the brain all sorts of chemicals that keep the rider healthy; it's an adrenaline rush that raises the functions of the mind to the next level. For group riders, it provides a strong bonding experience. Then, if there is any sort of near-encounter, the motorcyclist benefits from his own introspection because he must demand of himself, 'What is my part in this?' "Motorcycling clearly endows the rider with a sense of awe, even to the point of a spiritually-based awareness regarding the fragility of life, which is a healthy perspective. Riding demands an awareness that makes the rider live his life to the fullest simply because he knows that any moment could be his last. This sense of inner vision shared by riders is a very healthy, yet spiritual, point of view. Personally, I'm no different from any other rider. We all love our motorcycles." And how true it is! The other day while riding down Columbus Ave. in the right lane, I moved my head left to check the left lane of traffic. A pickup truck driver beside me on my left noticed my head movement and immediately braked to let me move over in front of him. Usually it takes turn signals, frantic arm movements and even grimaces to get cell-phone chatting drivers to notice a motorcyclist. So instead of taking the spot in front of the truck, I throttled down to his passenger side window, which was open. "Hey, man, do you ride?" I called in to his truck. "Sure do, bro'. Ride on." He responded, flashing a V sign. Here was a fine example of the sort of motorcyclist's alertness that psycho-analyst Roger Lake discusses above. It is an alertness that carries into other aspects of the motorcyclist's life, from driving a car or truck, for example, to all other daily affairs. This is the quality that separates riders from—well, excuse the expression—civilians. A friend of mine, a skilled rider from an early age, recalls that when he took his automobile driving license examination for the first time, the tester said to him, "I see that you ride a motorcycle." "How did you know?" My friend asked, dumbfounded. "Because you are alert," the tester responded. "I always know when I test a motorcyclist because they see the whole picture in front of them."
