Ashtadasha Punyakshetras and their location
I came across a very informative document regarding the famous mythological story where the body of Sati is cut asunder by the Sudarshan of Lord Vishnu and the various pieces of the body fell in and around India.

Cribbers Crib
As the title goes, The Cribbers (TC) have already decided that they are going to crib... mind you, not intentionally! They have it in their sub-conscious to crib.
They believe that anything in the world that comes in contact with them ( in the sense what they see or hear or even imagine!!) has something sinister to spring upon them.
Obviously!, you don't believe me!
If they hear that someone wants them to become good, they want THAT someone to practice first and then preach forgetting all the while icons in Mahatma gandhi, Lal, Bal and Pal! that had actually set a trend for them in the social strata or Ekalavya, Satya Harischandra in the realm of the spirit.
Pausing here can do us some good. Are TC actually interested in getting themselves on the path (assuming that there is one!) to goodness? If so, have they made any attempt towards practicing their ideals?
If they are not interested, TC would take the road largely traveled- gossip and slander. This would comfort them and assuage their fear of being the bad egg in the community!
Ultimately, losers are the ones who take TC seriously! Let them be... as the prayerful poem goes- " Lord God made them all.."
