Cosmic 'justice' in a nutshell

Whether you believe in reincarnation or not, for a minute just assume it is true. It is the perfect explanation for the so-called injustices at birth. Why are some born in very difficult situations and others born into easy situations? The seemingly unjust and unfair nature of destiny at birth has a very simple solution if you believe in reincarnation. The so called 'justice' meted out by God or Universe or Cosmic Spirit or Creator does not necessarily have to happen in this life. The 'justice' itself being the Universe's way of balancing out karma. The goal I feel is not punishment per se, it is actually a lesson. For those of you who believe it, essentially all souls are good and will return someday to their source. However, how long it takes and how many lessons need to be learnt varies from soul to soul. This is what I believe.

Singapore trip

Went to Singapore last week for the first time and had an excellent time! We (my younger brother Rohan and I) stayed at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, which I might add is perhaps one of the best looking buildings I've seen in my life with its three towers joined together on the top by the Sands SkyPark, a ship shaped structure on the top of the hotel which has a swimming pool called the Infinity Pool (perhaps the longest swimming pool I've ever seen).

Though I primarily went to Singapore on business, it was nice that I got to do some shopping, eat at the famous restaurants of Singapore and enjoyed the hospitality of the friendly and helpful Singaporeans.

It is a trip that I will remember always. I recommend Singapore as a nice vacation destination and also I recommend Singapore as a business destination for hassle free business with a very attractive tax structure.
