Roots of buddha

We all know Gautam Buddha is the founder ofthe Buddhism religion. But few of us know where he came from. People have been relating Buddhism to east asia but to their surprise, Buddha has been born and raised in lumbini nepal.

Birth
Gautam Buddha was born in the sakya clan which was a kshatriya clan in the year 563 BC on the auspices day of vaisakhi purnima in a district named Rumminindehi near by lumbini, Nepal.

His father who's name was Suddhodhana was the king of kapilavastu and mother was Mahamaya (princess of kollia)

Most of the scholars believe that his mother died 7 days after his birth from reason unknown and later on Buddha was raised by his step mother and aunt Gautami.

Marriage and children
Much young to today's world, Buddha was married at an age of 16 years which was appropriate to that era. He was married to Yasodhara (princess of Shakya clan) with whom he had a son named, Rahul. It must come as a surprise to many hindu families who name their son Rahul, that the name is actually a Buddhist name.
Although Buddha had everything a millennial could wish for, he wasn't happy and that's what was making his life gloomy and miserable.

It's a common rumour that his father was told by an astrologer that Gautam is highly impressionable and is potent to lead a life of an ascetic, this is why he was bought up in a much happier place where his reach to outer world was limited.

It's ironic that Buddha who's followers are around the world and is known for his peaceful ways of treating every sorrow of life, was actually from a kshatriya clan. 
In a country obsessed with religion, temples  and godmans. Buddha will always be known as "the enlightened one" 

Shiro the life saver

It was a hot afternoon and i was just returning from an excruciating session of science class from my coaching institute. As i approached toward the road to my home i saw a weak puppy, barely 20 days old, malnutritioned, abandoned, hardly able to stand on her feets, probably orphaned because i did not see any sign of her parents anywhere, i waited for an hour there while i was feeding her stuff from my lunchbox. She was hungry for sure because she gulped down entire parathas in barely 30 second.

Time passed by and there was no sign of anyone, already unemployed and a burden on my parents, i decided to take her home without thinking about the consequences. To my surprise my parents let me keep her on the condition that i have to let her go when she's able to stand on her feets.
And that was it, Shiro became part of our life on that day and has been ever since. Seeing her grow up was like seeing your own child grow, she have this utterly cute habit of eating from my hand when she's unwell or moody. She has every tantrum of a Diva and is fairly feminine in her ways.
I did not even know her gender until the vet confirmed that she's a girl.
Yes i have let her out of my sight and walk freely on road because as promised to my parents i have to let her go, it was hard on me as she's been there when i needed someone to just simply being there.

A few days ago she came home staggering and weaker then ever, she refused to eat anything and was just drinking water. A lady nearby conformed that she saw her pooping blood and i got very anxious and worried for her. My dad took our car to his work and i had no one who could help me take her to a vet, i took some neighborhood help and we took her to a vet. Sadly the vet told us she has contracted parvo virus.
To guys who do not know what parvo is, it is a terrible virus that attacks immune system of your pets and leave their intestines bleeding, there's too much diarrhea, vomiting and dehydration. 90% dogs who contract parvo do not survive. You need to take the dog immediately to vet and get her on fluids transfer process in which they use drips to help with the dehydration as the pet won't eat or drink otherwise.

Shiro was put on IV bags and there was constant excretion of blood, she just couldn't hold any liquid, it was a killing moment for me because i already lost a pet to the parvo and couldn't even imagine going through the same again. The same process was repeated for the next few days, she was injected with so many drugs, her eyes were sunk in, her skin lost all the shine and felt like a shrinking dry leather.

Thanks to the great support by the vet and my parents Shiro survived and i couldn't be more happier. It looked like we saved her but she have been my saviour from the day she came to my life. I feel blessed to have someone like her in my life.

Forced Adhar card ?

"Amongst other queues the mango people are prone to follow for their government related work, the Aadhar card wins the race of being the most obnoxiously difficult job to do.

Yes, the law says it's not a mandatory and we're free to have it or not but the strings that are attached to other highly important jobs coarse you into having one.

It was yet another day for my regular family to ask me to do the irregular house chorus which i would happily do otherwise, irked me as i have my ssc exam coming up and yes every minute must be absorbed with high enlightenment on Indian history, world history, geography, algorithms, theorems, deduction of lucid and Mendel's laws of genetics and the thread goes on to learning n types of idioms.

As the man who wears the pants ordered me to do what my mother asked me to do, "to make her a aadhar card as she can't get a sim by her voter's id because the voter's has her old address on it.", i can't argue with my bread and butter can i? And it's already been 2 years since I've left my last job In pursuit of a government job but that ship is yet to sail, i guess it's bolted to the deck. The importance of studies diminishes everyday for my parents as results are adverse 9/10 times.

So i took my mother to the closest e-mitra where the man said the software which loads the data is not working and i have to agree with the technical jargons as I'm a certified cs engineer, i have to know everything. Not to worry we went to another e-mitra which by the way was 5 kms away, and to my surprise, the guy there said modi ji changed policies and now only few selected banks have the authority to make Aadhar card.

Wow, am i dumb or the last guy i met fooled me with the software story, and let me remind you once again, we're on the road from last two hours because my 50 year old mother can't get a sim under her own name because she doesn't have Adhar card. 

None the less we went to the selected bank which was yet another 10 kms away and already feeling dejected the man in charge said it was his time to go home. (4 pm mind you, no wonder lakhs of people want a government job) 

For the next three days we struggled with daily up down of 50-60 kms to get my mother her Adhar. One day it was lunch time when we reached there, the next day their software crashed and the next day they couldn't take more than 10 forms. Yes finally our form got accepted. You might be wondering why i didn't apply online for the Adhar, well A, you need the ratina scanner and fingerprints scanner  to create  the Adhar first time and B, year back i applied for updation of Adhar on the online portal which got rejected three times due to mismatched documents. The same documents got accepted when i took them to an e mitra. 

This is current model of employment by the government. Tughlaq made 5 mistakes and is known as intelligent fool, indian government makes the same schemes, and ordinary men becomes fool... ""

About me

Hey there,

My name is Yogesh saini and Agerange.blogspot.com is my brainchild.
Writing about myself feels like blowing my own trumpet but i will try to encapsulate my existence in few words.

Education and experience
I've completed my Engineering in Computer and science from Rajasthan technical university in the year 2014. Later on i worked in a corporate firm as a project head. My work used to be handling turnkey projects of IT, security and automation. I worked with highly prestigious institutions like Manipal university,
Narayana hrudayala and so many more.
Sadly the company shut down and so did my interest in being a corporate, i worked at an mnc, Teleperformance for an year but could'nt survive the rotational night shifts and time bound slave culture, although i learned a lot about US culture and technology they use but by that time the seed of joining the Indian government was sown in me.
I left that job and have been studying ever since, the dream is a tease but my will is concrete as well.

Things I'm enthusiastic for.
Apart from writing, I've always been fond of other living beings. I've been blessed with companions like birds, fishes, dogs (ohh so many) and a plethora numbers of plants.
I've petted german shepherds, pugs, Pomeranians and a lot of indian periah dogs.
I stopped petting birds and fishes as i believe they're best left in their natural habitat.
Apart from animals I love gardening, horticulture has been part of my family for more then 5 generations and I've been planting plants since forever.

Being a blogger
Wow that goes back to the early 2000s when i was studying in 7th standard, i won a poem writing competition and that was the trigger for my writing hand and it never stopped.
I've been writing journals,poems, social articles, autobiographys and what not. To deliver the craft i joined blogger in 2012 and yes that's pretty much all.
