Love, Repository of Thoughts

I have beheld an example of love that shackles freedom of being in present. Does love really constrains freedom of being in the moment you, possibly, may be part of? In one of my previous articles I mentioned sharply about the necessities being something that imprisons its bearer.. Yes, necessities never let one be person who may call himself a free person; in fact no one can dare to be a complete free person. Oh! I had never an idea that Love can serve as good as manacle can, yes it binds one and centralizes his attention and concern to a very tight boundary.

Well, what I believe is that Love is one of the most vital among the seven cardinal emotion we have. It attracts all sorts positive thoughts, and encourages sacrifice, valor and fraternity. I wonder, how come it can make people feel an environment uncongenial, or how can it really attract fury and jealousy?

When someone interacts with any other person it is the aura that plays its role and generates an interest or disinterest among them.

I am well convergent with a couple who love each other as Lovers do. They share all sorts of happenings, be bind, laugh together and even breathe together with a well synchronized pulse.... yeah its true.. :) But, I argue that should love get directed on a path of it being biased. Biased love is nothing but, I think, the negative form of glaring LOVE.. as biased compassion is that is exhibited my a MOTHER. If love is important then why one loses patience to wait for a moment when it is well entertained. Sometimes, I feel, to wait for something what you desire for is better than to have the object of your desire.

Love when adapts the path of fatality it becomes blind in the same way when it encourages the positive things-- support, reliability, faith and sense of compromise.

If Love binds one to a hook and let you be hanging till you are asked to then, perhaps, nothing is better silent-torture than this. People groan but with their mouths shut, they bleed but blood evaporates.... Love, that attracts insecurity and doubt is what we call negativity in disguise.

You may be wondering about the chirping couples I mentioned in the aforesaid paragraphs. You may be thinking that whether I have ever interacted with them, been with them or whatsoever.... They are my COLLEAGUES...

Love or fear?

When you start loving someone a sense of profound feeling prevails in your conscience. The feeling of love which may be with living or non-living thing has, probably, lots of positive effects that overturn the negativity. However, with a great happiness love carries with it an acute fear. The fear is of loosing the beloved. The fear obscures the mirth that is imparted by LOVE. Fear, but gets breed on the ground of lack of reliability and owing to existence of insecurity in a relationship.

When someone gets struck by any virtual but intense set of emotions, no
matter for a small duration, he feels alone and seeks peace having a fact in mind that even the most intense feelings are prone to taper off in due course... The best feature possibly that the human brain possess is forgetfulness. Many mishaps, mental distractions and accidents take place now and then, if we were to keep everything in mind then perhaps we would have been shedding off our tears until we were dead. I mentioned that fear always companies LOVE, but if it’s so then should we always give way to fear, Should love be obscured each time? Perhaps, the answer would possibly be “NO”..! If love is real and true then fear and other negative emotions can’t take over it.

If some person tells that , “ I can’t live without you..”. Is this really true, can a person die if he doesn’t get someone to live with. I say, if this happen then may be the person is diseased. A great person told that a man is the product of his thinking. One becomes the way he thinks. A innocent child who needs toys to play, mother’s compassion and good preaching can be molded in such a way that he tends to ignore the things what he actually needs most. They become Terrorists if they feed on fear, their thinking is given an evil shape.

Love, Fear, Anger, jealousy etc are all the outcomes of thinking and situation. LOVE is quite elusive where negative emotions are quite prominent and easily sneak up on any body who proves himself to be weak…

Behind The Wall....

Sitting alone under a tree I was just imagining what may be beyond this wall... Sometimes, we tend to invest lots of our time to see unseen and to know the unknown. Well, when we see the unseen it becomes a thing of beauty and if we know the unknown it's called exploration.....

I hope this piece of photographic work may have been able to explore some of your heart and see its beauty within...

What is a perfectly free person?

While sitting in the balcony in a serious and contemplating mood I happened to behold two contrasting events that stole my attention away into an abyss where there were many questions that rattled my mind. I saw a person, weak, shabbily dressed and quite old carrying a heap of wooden scraps on his shoulders. Yes, he was a laborer who was supposed to be paid in return of his work. I failed to conclude whether he was the slave of his need or was the slave of the master or whom he did the work. At the same time, through a opening in the window, I saw a person lost in deep slumber lying comfortably in his room. Now, he was also a slave who enjoyed his slavery…

What is a perfectly free person? Evidently a person who can do whatever he likes, doesn’t do what he don’t like. However, this is quite impossible thing. No one can be so free. No one has ever led his life in such a freedom as some necessities enslave him. A person is always a slave of his necessities for he cannot get rid of himself and is ought to attend to his own demands. Whether we are a monarch or a slave we are the slave of our needs which we cannot shirk off. For half of the day we are busy attending to our whim which gets defined as our comfort… yes, we are the slaves of the comfort that seems too lucrative.

Some necessities have to be fulfilled and they give rise to yet other possibilities. As we have to eat as it lets us survive but before eating we must have food, we need to sleep but before really sleeping we need bed and a room, we need to walk on road and to walk we need clothes to cover our nakedness. Needs always give birth to an action that’s also necessary, thus, we become prisoners to our needs. Now, when food can be earned to feed ourselves, it may also be stolen. When we can employ several laborers to get us clothes and lodging they can also protest being so. Thus, it’s all about keeping one’s hand above in the midst of the war called “I want to be served”. So, I would let you all pondering about this said agenda.

Slavery to nature is quite natural and is completely different from the slavery of a man to man- unnatural. Slavery to nature is always enjoyable and very captivating. While, slavery to a man is really suffocating act that squeezes life out of the slave, at the same time slavery to nature bears a mirth that a slave is not oblivious about.

We need to eat and drink to survive; we would eat and drink a lot if it’s affordable. See, we voluntarily accept this slavery. We need to sleep or we will go mad; we would love to be sleeping always. Aren’t we the slave of the nature who accepts all sort of slavery that nature imposes on us? Whereas, the slavery of a man to another man is quite painful, in fact, no person is that good to be another’s master.

I am leaving this issue of ‘slavery’ in your minds and to contemplate on it further… I have a question, what is better- to work for eight to nine hours a day and get retired at the age of 45 earning the pension, or to work for four hours a day and keep working till one gets perished?

When Tomorrow Becomes Yesterday

I remember. That's the name of this song. I think it is beautiful. She could be talking to God, or to her best friend.

I remember.

I remember feeling very scared as the black sedan came up onto the sidewalk. I remember pulling my two year old brother off the sidewalk and onto the grass and weeds in the empty lot beside my dad's dry cleaning store. I remember all the people yelling at the driver. I remember people coming to see if we were ok. I remember someone saying he was drunk. I remember that the sun was shining and the temperature was nice and warm. It took a long time before my body stopped shivering.

That was 60 years ago. Today I remember that like it was yesterday, but what happened yesterday is already becoming a blur. I remember going to Vancouver with my husband. I remember going in to see some senior's support people in a building on Dunsmuir Street. I remember listening to a lawyer explaining things to us. Things like a power of attorney, a representation agreement, giving over financial and medical control of myself to someone else. I remember the urgency with which she spoke about it. I remember my husband telling me to go put a coin in the parking meter before we got an expensive parking ticket from the city. I remember going downstairs, but I could not remember where the car was. I stopped outside the building and tried to remember which direction we had come from.

I remembered that we could see the building from where we parked. I turned to the right and started walking. It just did not feel right. It did not look familiar. I could not see any cars parked, not ours, not anyone's. I stopped. I looked in every direction from the building. I looked in a circle at least 3 times. Then I closed my eyes. Telling myself to breathe deep and relax, I slowly opened my eyes again. With a great feeling of relief, I saw our car. There it was! parked directly across the street from where I was standing. What a relief!

I turned to the left and walked to the corner. When the light changed, I walked across the street and went to the car. Yes, it was ours. The things inside the car were familiar. So I put the coin in the parking meter and retraced my steps back across the street to the lawyer's office. After I sat down, my husband looked at me and the lawyer asked if I remembered the directions to get back in. I said, yes, no problem. I did not say that I could not find the car right away.

Moments of panic like that are happening once and a while now. It is usually just short loss of what I was doing, or where I was going. Sometimes I forget what I was trying to say. Nothing serious. My husband has been talking with my doctor quite a bit. I am going to the University of British Columbia Hospital for some brain tests and to participate in a medical study. I know something is not quite right in my head. I suppose I will know soon enough what it is.

Still boggles my mind that I can remember something that happened 60 years ago so easily and completely, but I can forget where we left the car just 30 minutes earlier. I forget appointments unless I write them down. I remember when the kids took their first steps, when they cut their first tooth, Where we were living when each of them was born, the house we lived in, and many other things from years gone by. I don't always remember what I did or said 5 minutes ago.

To be continued unless I forget where I am writing this.

The Iron SLAB

I was walking over a 'H' shaped Iron structure that lied over a small accumulation of the water of the river GANGA.

No sooner had I crossed the half of the IRON slabs divided by a horizontal iron slab than my eyeballs caught a chunk of greenery underneath...

I noticed myself standing on the structure that was well above the deep pool. It was really scary!! Was feeling as if I'm tending to lose balance and fall off from there on any side... grrr!!

It taught me that danger, misery, and dangerous plight are there to weaken us but no one but we can find positive in the midst of all these things that pull our legs to 'hell' tapering off the real meaning or sense of LIVING...

I found the GREEN plant underneath that inspired me to go ahead..

Caffeine

Caffeine is a bitter substance found in coffee, tea, soft drinks, chocolate, some nuts and certain medicines. It has many effects on the body's metabolism, including stimulating the central nervous system. This can make you more alert and give you a boost of energy.Teens usually get most of their caffeine from soft drinks and energy drinks. (In addition to caffeine, these also can have added sugar and artificial flavors.) Caffeine is not stored in the body, but you may feel its effects for up to 6 hours.


Many people feel that caffeine increases their mental alertness. Higher doses of caffeine can cause anxiety, dizziness, headaches, and the jitters. Caffeine can also interfere with normal sleep.


Some people are more sensitive to the effects of caffeine than others. They should limit their use of caffeine. So should pregnant and nursing women. Certain drugs and supplements may interact with caffeine. If you have questions about whether caffeine is safe for you, talk with your health care provider.Though moderate caffeine intake isn't likely to cause harm, too much can noticeably affect your health. Heavy daily caffeine use — more than 500 to 600 mg a day, or about four to seven cups of coffee — can cause:

* Insomnia
* Nervousness
* Restlessness
* Irritability
* Nausea or other gastrointestinal problems
* Fast or irregular heartbeat
* Muscle tremors
* Headaches
* Anxiety


Most adults need seven to eight hours of sleep each night. But caffeine can interfere with this much-needed sleep. Chronically losing sleep — whether it's from work, travel, stress or too much caffeine — results in sleep deprivation. Sleep loss is cumulative, and even small nightly decreases can add up and disturb your daytime alertness and performance.

Fear of Death

Among all of the basic fears that a human being possess the fear of DEATH is cruelest. It is quite obvious to have this fear as we can't expect anything after death. We don't know where or what we will be after death. However, DEATH is inevitable. I was enlightened on this agenda of late that I would like to share with you all and expect my effort to be proved fruitful.

The fear of DEATH in today's world is not as common as it was in the ages when there were no colleges and universities. Through the aid of biology, astronomy and other branch of science the fear of unknown that gripped the mind of mass capable of destroying their reason has been dispelled. Many beliefs that constrained human thoughts from getting wings are perished through the enlightenment of education.

So far as death is concerned, it is inevitable. It is a acceptable fact that death will come, and it's better not to be afraid of it.

According to Elementary Physics the whole Universe is made up of Energy and Matter, and they can't either be created or destroyed but can be transformed.
If Life is anything, then it's energy. When we are alive we undergo many processes that explains the transformation of life-energy from one form to another. Life can only be made to undergo various transitions, can't be put to an end. Death is mere Transition.

If Death was not mere a Transition, then what comes after death? After death comes a long undisturbed sleep having a eternal value. So, why should we be afraid of peace. Rather, a man spends his whole life in the quest of PEACE.

Well, I think you must have, a bit, overcome the fear of being 'perished' after going through the aforesaid article. I hope a open discussion on it for further enlightenment.

Eye of a FATHER

Today I am going to narrate a story that may explain explicitly the importance of father or someone who cares and encourages you. This is a story of a teenager who loved his father like anything, There existed a very special relationship between them. They were perhaps pair sent from god to remain together. Their relationship was a like a drop which gets formed when two smaller water droplets coalesce to form a bigger one.

Little boy's father always encouraged him become a star in the game of football. While the son was somewhere on the benches the father was seen in the stands cheering. His father was really a genuine supporter of his son. Little boy had a great dream to see his father successful. He wanted to be a player of the era.

The young man was smallest among all his class mates in school, weak and less agile. He was always underestimated, bullied and misbehaved by his mates. He was always found near the fences observing the players playing the football. His eyes seemed stuck to the ball as if he was watching his prey so that he can pounce upon it.

After some days he was allowed by the team's coach to be in the practice session running errands. For him it was perhaps an opportunity to watch the game closely. He was found quite keen, moreover, his father's consistent encouragement didn't let his air of determination go down. His father was always there for him. This made the little boy, who knew that he may get a play when he will become senior, hang in the playground and practice whenever he got a chance. Really an act of perseverance.. !!

After the High Schools he stepped in college and decided to be as a "walk on" in the college team. He was still a dedicated member of his team. He was really magnificent in what he did. He could cut the ball, he could spin that out between the legs of opponent player. Due to lack of experience and insufficient involvement in any of the real game he was still not given a chance to show his potential, that would perhaps steal away fans heart and break them loose.

The coach admitted that he was in roaster but owing to the contribution of each member including the YOUNG man. He was so far the most dedicated, persistent and persevering member.

His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games. This persistent young athlete never missed practice during his four years at college, but he never got to play in the game.

It was the end of senior football match when he trotted in to the big play off game. The coach met him with a telegram. The telegram was for the boy. The boy started reading it and then the coach standing in front him got astonished to see him dead silent. He said, "what happened, boy?"... Swallowing hard, the boy mumbled, "my father passed away this morning". The coach could say nothing. He was all perplexed of his next action. He coddled the boy and asked him to take a week off leave. He asked him to relax and be composed. The boy walked away silently. Tears rolled down his eyes that were sufficient to wet the cuff of the coach's shirt. Well, all seemed dark for the poor boy.

After a week it was the final match when all the team members were giving their best to have a triumph. Unfortunately no tricks of the coach was working. All his effort were falling flat. The team was on the verge of being defeated. All of a sudden the whole team including the coach witnessed a guy all dressed up to play, and holding his chin high running towards the ground. It was no one but the YOUNG BOY. The coach tried to stop him a to play as he was not well mentally. The Boy insisted and the coach had to give in.

Most amazingly the boy was all absorbed and had started coordinating with the team like a leader. yes, he was a real captain. He could cut the ball, dribbled and run like a wind. He passed on the ball skillfully and made some great sots. The team was triumphing now. Soon it managed to make a tie. Before the full time whistle the YOUNG BOY intercepted a pass and all the way he made it to a final touchdown. In no time the fans broke loose, entered the ground and hoisted the boy on their shoulder. The team had won the match.


After the match was over and all ceremonies done the coach met the boy and keeping his arms around his shoulder he said, " I am proud of you". The boy's eyes were full of tears, he swallowed hard, forced a smile and said to the coach, "did you know my father was BLIND?". He said him that all his DAD used to come all the way for him, but could never see him play. He said " I wanted him to see me playing today from THERE "


REMEMBER:

All accomplishments starts with a decision to try. Be courageous, persistent and have faith on yourself and on the one whom you love most.

Prepare to get your points across!

Have you ever asked yourself: how do I make my point clear?

You write an article, prepare a speech or meeting and jot down your points. What is important? You know your topic and goals so that is the easy part. Now you have a long list or a very short one. You have a limit of time or characters to make your point clear.

Now the real work starts: How do you get your points across in a friendly and clear manner?

Here your preparation plays a huge role. Part of it is the research results and your knowledge. The internet or library helps with the research.

You still have to do some thinking at your part: Which is the best way to combine the important points in your speech, video or article. Which words you use and how you combine them nail down your content or make things worse.

What can help you to decide the best way to compose your message? More knowledge: Who are the persons your readers, listeners and viewers? How can you show them that you understand their needs?

When they know you well they understand what you say confusing or clear. The risk is yours. You stick into a foggy place when you depend on your audience knowing you inside out.

Have you ever listened to speeches or red articles or books carefully? Each speech or article tells you a lot about the intention of the speaker or writer. It tells you about the personality of the author or speaker. What does the speaker or writer tells about the own intention by the words and structure of sentences which are used? What do you find out about the personality of the author or speaker?

Are the sentences long and winding? Are the sentences short and clear? What does the length of the sentences say about the user? What does your preference say about you?

There are some memorable sentences in history. The most memorable and quoted once are short and clear. You easily can come up with several of them. Why? Because you better remember what you understand clearly. Short sentences are easier to remember.

When you have something important to tell or share use short sentences. Short sentences will stick longer with the reader or listener. Short sentences are more intense.

Sometimes it is a fun to figure out the meaning of a long sentence. At least it is a confirmation that you are smart enough to do it.

Be honest when you are listening to a speech or want to know something you prefer it short and clear. You respect the work someone did to turn great knowledge or wisdom in an easily understood form. You have to think through all that important and meaningful thoughts while listening or reading. You have to connect it to your knowledge and experiences. The author or speaker is ahead of you as s/he had done this work.

The pace of speaking and the things the speaker expect from you should be according to your understanding of the topic.

When you deliver a speech you want to be recognised as smart person. How can you achieve that goal? Easily by doing your homework! Thinking things through and finding the right terms and means to deliver the content is your most crucial part.

Have a look at your article or script again after a while. You might want to improve it further before you make it public.

Checklist:

• Are all important points well covered? Check with your list of bullet points.
• Is the language clear? Do you know that your audience know the words you use? Do you have to explain words? Are the sentences clear or do they have a double meaning?
• Do I know the answers of upcoming questions? That is an important part. People that are interested in a topic want to know more. Think and prepare more than you think is important to know. Learn about the details.
• Is my attitude friendly? Have a look at the words are they usually viewed as harsh or offending?
• Are there enough breaks in it? Do you pause at the right points when speaking before a new thought or topic is addressed? Do you have enough paragraphs in your article? Organise the structure in an easy to understand way.

Practise every day using those points frequently. After a while you find it easy and can hone your skills further.

Now enjoy to prepare your next article, video, speech.

LOVE or INFATUATION

You meet HIM/HER. You know what I mean, THE ONE.You have been waiting for the person who made your heart pound, made the stars bright, and taken over all reasonable thought processes with ideas of making love on every beach from here to Tahiti.You have a weird expression on your face, food suddenly seems like a mere inconvenience and sleep is just something you used to do. Your friends tease you about being in love. Your mother WARNS you about being in love.

Love is a dynamic process, which means that there is a relationship that flexes, changes and grows as people mature, experience happens upon them, priorities and dreams are built and goals are met. Love brings out the best in people as individuals. The relationship between them becomes the way they define their lives. As jobs, careers, and family concerns change, people are able to work as a team to be understanding and flexible so the relationship (their lives) will flourish.


What if it is infatuation? That's when you think of someone all the time, you go out of your way to be around him/her, and you begin to center your priorities around him/her as well.You daydream about him/her. There is a feeling of insecurity. You are excited and eager, but not genuinely happy.There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine too closely. It might spoil the dream.It has an element of sexual excitement. Whenever you are together, you hope it will end in intimacy.

have you ever seen a girl who was so beautiful that you thought you'd faint?
This is infatuation! It is based totally on physical attraction.Most people are infatuated with their love partners to a certain degree.

What is the difference between love and infatuation? The first difference is that infatuation is short lived. It disappears soon.While infatuation limits your feelings to attraction, love will make you grow in every way and it brings a feeling of comfort when you think of the other person and that feeling will make you stronger as it increases your confidence in yourself to be the person that you want to be.


Maybe infatuation is brain based, and love is heart based?


True love is considered to last a lifetime while infatuation is considered to last only for a few weeks or at the most few months. This difference may actually not be true because a person marries another because of the love shared between them, but after a few years of marriage, they break up because they find that they do not love each other. This does not make their relationship into an infatuation. This is because there was love shared between them, but it is just that the love has soured.

Google changing its name to "Topeka"

This was today's shocking news to many people who forgot what day it is.

April Fools Day has long been a day of pranksters and jokes, the most common origin of the odd tradition is attributed to 16th-century France. During that period, King Charles IX tore up the traditional calendar and moved New Year's from the end of March to January 1 in 1582, leading to the mocking of those who still celebrate the new year in spring as fools.

the top five April Fools Day pranks ever:


In 1962, Sweden had only one television channel. It was broadcast in black and white. Kjell Stensson, the stations technical expert made an appearance on the news to announce that there was a new technology that would allow viewers to convert their existing sets to display in color. All they had to do was place a nylon stocking over their television set. Stensson, with a straight face, proceeded to demonstrate the correct placement of the stocking on a television set. Thousands of people did just that, and you know what? Sweden didn't broadcast in color until April 1st of 1970.

In 1975, a very respected news show called Panorama announced that thanks to a very mild winter, the dreaded Spaghetti Weevil was almost obliterated. They also reported that Swiss farmers were enjoying a bumper spaghetti crop. The story even showed footage of Swiss peasants pulling strands of spaghetti from trees. Hundreds and hundreds of viewers called the BBC and asked how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. The reply they got was, "Place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best."

In 1977, The Guardian', a British paper, published a seven-page story about San Serriffe. This small republic was said to be made up of several semi-colon-shaped islands in the Indian Ocean. A series of articles explained the Upper Caisee, Lower Caisee, its capital, Bodoni, and its leader General Pica. Phones rang off the hook as people tried to get more information on this beautiful place. Only a few people noticed that the explanation of the islands used printer's terminology. Get it, Upper Case, Lower Case? This hoax is credited with getting the British in the April Fools' mood for years to come.


In 1985, Mets fans were excited to learn about Sidd Finch, a new ball player who could pitch a baseball at 168 miles per hour with pinpoint accuracy. The record at that time was 65 miles per hour slower than Finch. Sports Illustrated broke the story, saying that Finch had never even played a game of baseball before, but that he'd mastered the "art of the pitch" in a Tibetan monastery, taught by the "great poet-saint Lama Malaraspa". Mets fans flooded Sports Illustrated with calls only to find out that the legendary player was a fictional character made up by author George Plimpton.

In 1996, the Taco Bell Corporation made an announcement that they had purchased the Liberty Bell and would be renaming it the Taco Liberty Bell. Hundreds and hundreds of U.S. citizens were outraged and called the National Historic Park in Philadelphia, where the bell was being housed, and gave them a piece of their mind. A few hours later, Taco Bell set things straight, but the topper was when the White House press secretary, Mike McCurry was asked about the sale, and he responded that the Lincoln Memorial had also been sold, and it would be known as the Ford Lincoln Mercury Memorial.

Are we violent by nature?

The most dangerous and lethal killer on our planet is not the lion or tiger or the great shark but a weak and tiny creature known as man. History proves this, 1,50,000 people were killed and many more perished in order to conquer kalinga. 37 million people suffered death and injury during world war I and over 60 million were killed in second world war.

These genocides were carried out by humans, people like you and me. Man involves himself in mindless violence both on his own species as well as on other species. UN study has found out that nearly 20 million tons of fish are caught every year, 25% of this never reaches the market. It’s just dumped. This killing is faster than the breeding of fish which is ecocide.

This nature of humans is not prevalent in other species as they kill on need basis only. Every now and then we read about terrorist attacks, this is again an instance of mindless violence, terrorists are dedicated people who believe they are participants in a dynamic social or political process.

In most entertainment forms and in the actions of governments, there’s a streak of violence running through. One can see this even walking around the neighborhood, watching and listening to people, Violence – gross, subtle, physical, emotional and psychological – is everywhere. Victims and aggressors abound.

Before drawing any conclusion , I request all the members and readers of this blog to express their views.

Who Is The Best ?

Sometimes I feel that why man is called the best creature of world?

what is really the criteria to be best?

what does one have to have to be best?

Well, today the human being has progressed in all fields. Every comfort which one could have just imagined is at arms length to some people in today’s era. It sounds so great, does it not? If there is so much of comfort all over then why is it concentrated to some people. Why there is no Equilibrium? ….

Doesn’t the scenario of a destitute, wandering cloth-less, shabby, and Hungry look sets one’s heart to rapid palpitation. Is it not a raw story of misery in the era of comfort and achievement? A small helpless and alone child being pressurized by the social calamity when stands demanding a piece of bread makes one feel rather to echo a question within —-why??


Synchronization is the law of nature. Perhaps the man of this era have forgotten and made the mother nature suffer even. Deforestation is the burning instance to back my logic up. When the human didn't even bother to break the synchronization within the nature to keep him alive then how can it be expected that a similar balance will prevail all around regarding poverty and monetary comfort.

To cite an example I would like to state a incident which one have might have beheld now and then—– a helpless, hungry, thirsty, half naked, itching the scars of poverty standing in front of a affluent, happy and a rich guy expecting something from him, gets a harsh and hard arrogance. Had that man offered him some help then it would have been a better and appreciable job.

But the question is that if he would have helped that destitute then would it have helped. The answer is no. But if everyone thinks so then the world will become a exhibition of arrogance towards the needies……hah!!!!! So, what one can do to eradicate this show?

Can we say that Knowledge is a two edged sword? Yes we can say it. “Less knowledge is dangerous thing”…I have something to say about it. Do more knowledge imparts a positive consequence. What is Nuclear Bomb product of, it got its existence on the ground of wisdom and knowledge. What rubbish?? What a use of wisdom?? I wonder. Is destruction an effect of knowledge….I deal it in this way, what do you think. It may be that you have a different Ideas, but I am not wrong I know it.

HUMAN BEING IS THE BEST CREATURE OF UNIVERSE……!! is it??

Be happy

Once someone genuinely accepts that the fear of whatever that is on the other side of all sufferance is less intimidating than the frustration, the loneliness and anguish one is in owing to his or her current life then the door of salvation is open. Every sufferance has its boon with quiet apparent vice. Acceptance gives power to endure, fight and become resilient. Perhaps, acceptance is the medicine to cure the wound caused by "innocent" expectation....

Sadness, pathos and hatred are all state of mind that is prone to be corrected if dealt well in time and in a proper way. One may conclude that It is really hard to get healed, recovered or to move on in the prevailing coarse predicament. However, I would say that all the make up against odds are set up in one's mind and it is an easy task. Will, determination and tendency of remaining surfaced in the sea of despair depends on the mental framework.

It is well known fact that we tend to see what we want to see. So, if one says that he or she can't believe what he sees then, perhaps, he don't want to believe what he finds not comfortable. Frantic quest of comfortable situation is a human tendency but the truth is not hidden --- Harder the learning curve is more you learn. It is really a challenging task to get into a task of finding feed backs from people or source they trust or can rely upon. Generally we tend to avoid such situation. Good leaders who sought out their negative feed backs were more aware of themselves than those who sought out their positive feed backs. Yes, self awareness help us to gain a state of mind that has nomenclature as "happiness" and "satisfaction".

The happiness condition is not reserved for few whose life is devoted for spiritual deeds. A soul filled with love, self-worth, self-acceptance is always for one who has the courage to break through the shell of his or her current life. The manacle of present life is hard to break, but once broke it gives way to happiness and sometimes bliss ....

Shocking story of Half Man Half Tree

This is a video which I saw when I was surfing internet. This video made me feel the sufferers agony for what he has. However, I was after a moment quiet confused about calling him a sufferer. Sufferance comes to a person if he takes it in that way. Everything is in one's way of thinking or the way of his thinking.

Have you ever felt the uneasiness when your nails grow bigger. Does it not make us fee ill at ease? Yes, it makes us go frantic and we try to discard the unwanted nails on our finger. Keeping all this in View I would like to ask the readers to see the video and write about it in a way they feel...

Perception matters

I Love photography. I just can't afford to miss any moment or object that could catch my eye ball and make my imagination toss high. Recently I uploaded a photo in Face book, and wrote something what I observed from it. The photo along with what I felt about is as under:

I don't know what fascinated me but I couldn't resist myself capturing it... If observed closely it can be noted that there is a reflection of the top fringe of a building in the water. The scene that is within the end of the narrow tunnel is nothing but the outer world but in somewhat deceptive form...

To some distance we can see green grasses signifying life, growth, renewal, health, and environment. On the flip side, green is jealousy or envy (green-eyed monster) and inexperience....

If we go bit further we see water, the essence of life... water has a natural symbolism. It can be seen as beginning and end of them too: womb and Tomb. Water can be a place of protection of life and danger too.

Well, how deceptive the things of this earth are if seen narrowly. The inverted reflection does signifies our perception that leads to situation that is beyond salvage.

I have many rattling ideas that has crept my mind after observing this photo... I have just left it expecting some more refinement of thoughts that I possess about it..

You can see this particular material in Face Book too.. Just click HERE

Be Innovative

To manage your time better means to live your life in such a way that you are able to accomplish more, so that at the end of each day you can realize measurable results and enjoy a sense of fulfillment. This always involves learning to do things differently so that the results are more efficient and effective than before. Learning to manage your life and your time isn't tough job. Anyone can do it! In fact, it is often the simple things you can do that will make great differences. Sometimes you even have to go backward in order to go forward.

I want to explain a small exercise that may make my intentions clear.

First, grab a pencil and paper. Think back to the time you started school. One of the first things you learned was how to identify shapes. Next you learned to draw them. On that sheet of paper I want you to do something very simple. Draw one triangle. Isn’t it a simple job? Yes it is! Now, draw as many triangles as you can in thirty seconds. Stop!! Count how many you were able to draw. Write down that number. Do you think there might be another way to complete this activity and draw more in less time?

Start at one side of the paper and draw connected W's all the way across the page. Now put a line across the top and the bottom. See how many you can draw in twenty seconds using this method. Doesn’t that create many triangles? In only a few seconds you have learned to do this activity more effectively in a much shorter amount of time. A seemingly insignificant change can make a significant difference in what can be accomplished in a given amount of time.

What if you could get four or five times as much done each day by making a simple change?

Would that work for you?

If so, always be on the lookout for "new" ways to do "old" things, and keep your mind open to using alternative methods and plans of action. Be innovative and flexible. I believe that there is no age of learning right things. It doesn’t matter how old are you, it all means your eagerness to learn new things and implementing them. After all innovations, creativity and a directed zeal lead to great changes.

What are you waiting for? Just start innovating and discovering before your competitors. I wish you all Best of hard work !

Moral of the Story

A teacher instructs her fifth-grade class to ask their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end.

The next day the kids come in and share their stories. After a few students tell their stories, the rest of the class learns some of the morals you'd expect to hear, such as "don't count your chickens before they hatch" and "treat others as you'd like them to treat you."

Then it was little John's turn...

“My daddy told me about my uncle David,” says John.

“He was a pilot in War and had to bail out over enemy territory with nothing but a flask of whiskey, a pistol, and a knife. He drank the whiskey during the drop, then landed in the middle of 20 Charlies. He shot 15, stabbed three, and killed the last two with his bare hands.”

“What is the moral of that horrible story?” yelps the mortified teacher.

“Stay away from Uncle David when he’s been drinking.”

Love Yourself

Today while thinking a lot in the midnight I halted on a point that echoed about LOVE. I just halted at a question that probably banged my mind. Love is a form of emotion that is most stable and divine of all form of positive stream of emotions. It is a boon that is probably behind every relationships. The question that I thought to ask you all is that, who do you love most?

Whose face appears as a answer to this question? Is it your husband or wife, a girl friend or a boyfriend? Is it your daughter, mother or father, son, daughter or the beloved pet? whom do you think that you love most?

Regardless of the face that appears to you , the fact is that love is that form of emotion that engraves a sense of responsibility, duty and devotion towards your loved one. You must have heard about Yin and the Yang. To make you all understand about Yin and yang I would like to import an explanation of Yin and Yan.

Are you the Beloved or the Lover, the Yin or the Yang in your relationship? If you do not know, think about the first time you met your partner.

Who spoke or wrote to the other first? Whoever takes action first is the Lover, the Yang, the predominantly masculine energy who takes the leadership role in the relationship. Then, reflect who waited to be noticed or invited first before responding. This person is the Beloved, the Yin, the predominantly feminine energy who takes the supportive role in the relationship. However, this is only true if you have been true to yourself when you met.

Love in itself is a great responsibility. Love is a purposeful work that attracts positive actions like being patient, supportive, cooperative, understanding and reliable. If love is devoid of these qualities then it is nothing more than a liability. Predominantly, there lies a fact that to be loved, to spread love and get a proper respect you must learn to love yourself first. Can you imagine a plant growing on a infertile soil, I hope the answer that will flash in your mind is a big "NO". Same as that, how can a person be loved if he doesn't love himself? So, the slogan is that love yourself more than anyone and anything else. Believe me, it is not an act of being self-conceited, it is but making yourself capable of doing what you want to.

Well, there is a question that may remain unrequited. The question is simple that may pop up in anyone's mind. What if a person is self conceited, impatient, mean or cunning? Can't a person of this sort realize what love is? Well, the answer is no. Love doesn't allow negative emotions, however, if given time, well worked upon and having an attitude of welcoming changes may help someone to gain the unmatchable feel of being loved.

Once we have loved ourselves most, despised negative emotions like revenge, anger, lust and fear we can share the self-emitting aura of love among people who need it. When a cup is full of water up to its brim, then any further water poured to it spills out. Same as this when our heart is full of love we can share and spread the love that probably generates subsequently. Lust is a natural assassin of love. I would suggest to carefully forbid Lust from interfering with love.

The very next time when some one asks you the question: Whom do you love most?
Then you must see your own smiling face as an answer to this question
