I am Hindu

I am Hindu because my parents are hindu. I believe in Hinduism. Hinduism is politheist religion because there are many gods like Krishna, Ganesh, Bhrahma, Shiva, Vishnu,... I pray all hindu gods. I celebrate many festivals like Deepavali, Ganesh Chaturti, Holi, Pongal,... On Deepavali I burn crackers, on Pongal, we put kolam and we prepare pongal. I am not very religious but i often go to temple and wear traditional clothes. In hinduism, all the ideas of people for or against god are welcomed. All are treated equally and there were no punishments for expressing their views. In this religion, very detailed researches were made on the god and his existence. I am a hindu because all the religious practices made by us are very logical and practical. In hindus, when we meet each other, we join our hands and say Namasthe which means "I respect the god inside your heart heartfully". To conclude, I am hindu because I believe that hinduism is the easiest way to reach the almighty.

Mr. Richard Parker the tiger

In Yann MARTEL's book, Richard Parker is the tiger which survives on the lifeboat with Pi. It develops a relation with Pi that helps them coexist.
6 tigers are used for the production of the film ! You ask why they use 6 tigers for the production, and thet in the story there is only 1 ?
Here's the answer : It is because you can't force a tiger to act ! If a tiger doesn't want to act, he doesn't acts. You have to use another one.
MARTEL, in his story, named the tiger after many persons and story characters who had the same name, like in a Allan POE's novel, like many stories of survivors of a ship wreck who were known to have practiced cannibalism in order to survive.
MARTEL thought, "So many victimized Richard Parkers had to mean something.", so he gave the same to the tiger in his story which has to survive in a lifeboat with a little boy.
So here are the reasons for which the Richard Parker role was named like that, and how many tigers played the role in the film.
It will be blockbuster, don't miss it !

I'm Hindu because..

hi Friends, I'm going you why I'm Hindu

I'm Hindhu because i was born Hindu. The meaning of my name is: one of the Hindu god named "shiva".

When I go to temples, I should put Kumkumum and Vivoudi on my forehead after I finished my prayers. I'm Hindu because I celebrate all the Hindu festivals like pongal

( Tamil New year celebration), deepavali etc..

and I wear traditional clothes like half sarees. In the old days, most Hindus were vegetarians but nowadays it has changed.

I'm Hindu because I obey the rules like, I have to put a bendhi in my forehead and like my marriage will be traditional, I'll have the "tali" on the neck which married woman should not remove.

It replaces the marriage ring for the Christians.

Mainly I am a Hindou because of my parents and my ancestors who were Hindous too. I am a Hindou because my name came from a Hindou god called Ganesha. I am a Hindou because I go to the temple each friday and there I put vibuti and koungoumam. I am a Hindou because every morning I can see kollams in front of my house. I am a Hindou because I celebrate Hindou festivals like Dipavali, Pongal, Kartigai deepam, Vinayakar saturti...and during these festivals I do poojas, fire crackers and eat special pongal. I am a Hindou because I don't eat non vegetarian in fridays and in some other particular days like amavasai, pournami because those days are made to remember dead granparents.


I am a Hindou because I really love to be a Hindou.

I'm a Christian...

Hi friends! I am going to explain why I am a Christian :

I am a Christian because, after my birth, I wasbaptized. I have studied catechism for 3 years. I went to church every Sunday. I also go to the church for religious celebrations (Christmas, Maundy Thursday...) When I was 12 I did my first communion. And I usually pray.

Here, I said that I went to the church every Sunday, because when I arrived in India I lost this habit, but that doesn't mean I never go to church. I still go when I go back to my country.

So, these are the reasons why I am a christian!

I'm a Christian

Hi friends. This post is to explain why I'm Christian. I'm a christian not because I have been convinced by others arguments but because of some impressive argument of the 'Bible'.
Because of Jesus that i love so much and the Virgin Mary (because i share all my secrets with them and they know all about me) . I've know so much about my religion because i studied in catechism two years ago. I was baptized, and i have received my first holy communion and my conformation. I confess when i feel bad after doing a mistake and the i feel better. I go to church most probably every Sundays, and for the Christmas eve, New year eve ... and for all the other christian festivals.

I am a christian because of ...

I am a christian because of the churches with high vaults, because of the rays of light entering throught the windows, because of the vitrals with magnificent colours, because of the great lyrical songs, because of the stories full of faith and bravery, because of the big family meals, because of the parties where the whole family gathers, because of Christmas and its thousands of gifts, because of the manger with magnificent figurines.

My name is Ismaïl and I am a Muslim.

Hi there! I am going to talk about religion. I am not going to complicate things like Pi Patel because I only chose one path: Islam. I am not sure if words would be enough to explain why I chose this path, but I am doing my best. I am a muslim because, I was born like that, I grew like that and I live like that. This path was shown by my parents, I decided to go by that way because I thought it was the best for me. I am a muslim because I believe in God, he is unique, special, because I pray five times a day, because I fast during the month of Ramadan, because I give charity to the poor, because I did a pilgrimage to Mecca, and the list goes on, but people have to remember that religions aren't based on rules, religion means devotion, respect, love towards God, you have to feel it, you should not follow what someone told you, you are free to choose your path and this is the first thing that I learned from Islam and it is one of the main reasons why I am proud to be a Muslim. It is not just because I do so many things that I am a muslim, it is because deep inside me I want to be like that.
