The New Age He-Man

I recently had the previledge of sharing discussion space with a new age actor turned politician.As opposed to my thinking the evening would be dull and boring, with only "its me" talks , the evening was anything but dull. We had few other discreet industrialists participating in the discussion. The opening note started with " What best can I do for you!" Whao.... so our new age He -Man had a polished speech,( spare me for my prejudice but i judge people by their speech). By and by as the evening started coming to an end I was amazed to learn that our He-Man was not only a veteran actor in regional filmdom but also an MBA grad from a University of repute(a place which constantly gets its ranking amongst the top 10), a loyal sportsman being a part of the Ranji Trophy, a convent educated people's person.

As I came out of the convention hall, i had the faith that Our country in the true sense is progressing towards economic and social enlightment, also that we need more such new age "He Mans"!!!

faith or superstition

This has been a topic I had thought of writing since a long time...but somehow could not assimilate my thoughts into words ... until recently when i came across a eye witnessing happening.India we know is a land of different religions, beliefs, wonders and magics. This I happened to see in one of the remote places which still today i haven't been able to believe.
 There is a belief here that gods talk to our people through some people's body, and the person possessed at that particular time knows nothing of what happens to him/her. His/her voice becomes discreet and different ,talks in different languages ,becomes sadistic and moronic which otherwise the person is not and most mysteriously tell you things associated with your life which you haven't revealed to  anyone yet....
Now the point becomes after i myself witnessed a small gathering talking to this godly feminine ....do we call it "Faith", "Superstition" or more scientifically "personality disorder"?
