Surrender to Succeed

2009-09-28T16:31:00.004+05:30

Word surrender is one of the most beautiful words in the English language. But I feel it is also one of the most difficult of deeds. I am not talking about surrender of the military kind, but a kind of personal surrender in which you simply let go. Such surrender gives rise to an experience of beautiful serenity within, something that most of us have felt at some time or the other, but can’t seem to sustain it permanently.

If surrender brings so much peace, why is it so difficult? It’s because of our ‘ego’. This tiny, three-letter word has a significant impact on the quality of our lives. Our ego wants us to be in control of everything in and around us-our relationships, our health, our careers. The ego wants things its way and when that doesn’t happen, it reacts by evoking all kinds of unhealthy emotions. I wouldn’t be off the mark if I say that our ego is at the root of all our miseries. Fear, anxiety, guilt, frustration, greed, jealousy and all other emotions that don’t feel good, are always the result of the ego’s villainous insistence on being in control.

Because of our ego, we give excessive importance to winning. Our ego-driven society offers all the glory to winners, while losers are severely criticized. What’s worse is that those who fail to win actually believe that they’ve made a big blunder by losing. To the ego, a loss is evidence of lack of total control-and the ego hates it. So, many individuals simply don’t attempt anything because they fear losing. In the process, they live ordinary lives filled with little, if any, happiness in it.

The only antidote to problems that our ego creates is surrender. Your rogue ego cannot do much when you let go of your need to be right, to win, or to succeed at any cost. It may seem paradoxical, but when you live constantly in a mindset of surrender, you start functioning more efficiently because you now live minus the constant nagging of your nasty ego to live only to win-or else suffer.

But surrender cannot be achieved using the mind. Surrendering is an act of absolute trust. You trust existence and accept the unalterable truth that life is made up of ups and downs. When you trust God, a higher power, or existence, you will suddenly find yourself to be in complete control of your own life. You will live fully, totally in the moment without worrying about being ahead, being right, winning or succeeding. It will improve your chances of success and you will find that the quality of your life has enhanced.

Embrace Change

2009-09-10T11:08:00.004+05:30

Years go by, unchanged. Then life changes, suddenly. What seemed unthinkable for years, happens. Without warning. This unpredictability is what gives our life its character. Things change. Situations change. Societies change. Even individuals change. Yet, human beings seem wired to resist change. We always seem to wish for status quo. This resistance to change gives rise to emotional conflicts within us and is at the heart of the emotional turmoil we experience.

Ironically, it is universally accepted that change is inevitable. Moreover, incremental change doesn’t affect us too much and is therefore easier to put up with. It’s those sudden, discontinuous, changes that are disruptive. To be sure, disruption is not always negative. It simply ensures that the way things were done or the way life was lived, doesn’t remain the same.

When we fall in love, most often it produces discontinuous change. Falling in love is involuntary, not a choice we make. But we still have a choice whether to follow those instincts. Of course, human beings are not always rational, least of all, in love. So love, even though it’s not, appears to be involuntary.

So change, incremental or discontinuous, is an indelible facet of life. The universe is in a continuous state of flux. Embracing change means bringing, and keeping, in our awareness its permanent nature. Once we embrace change instead of fighting it, we begin to live in the here and now-and that....

Mirror Talk..

2009-07-01T11:20:00.004+05:30

Have you ever tired doing this? It helps me ease any sort of pangs any moment. And no stop that chuckle, its not my feminine vanity which makes me say that. Especially, when life is like a gloomy cloud casting a dark shadow on your spirits, a little Mirror talk always helps.

Misery loves company. Sounds rather like a worn out cliche right? Yet, how true it is! Misery eats mind like a worm and creeps in soul like a surreptitious cancer. And may be that’s why we indulge in the sheer drudgery of misery as it invades our senses.

Ever looked within when you are desperately dull and down? Life may look like a bottomless pit then, all it needs is a change of perspective to look at the brighter side of things. Everyone needs a mirror at times. What do you catch in those deep reflections? Some impressions are so deep that only lonely sojourn can help you find them. Walk to the nearest mirror, make all sort of antics, flush sadness with vehemence, pat your shoulder for this wonderful chance and thank God for all the love you have in life.

In one of those insightful conversations I had, One of my pals gave this beautiful example -"They say that the early bird gets the worm, but why don’t they realize that the early worm gets caught? Decide whether you are a worm or a bird before waking up and act accordingly". May be all that misery of the moment can be swept by a fresh perspective or a different mood. May be all that was needed is a change of mind or a new look with pink tinted glasses.

Dear dairy...

2009-05-18T16:27:00.000+05:30

As I look to you in vain, your voice still remains....Like a blade it cuts me deep, eternally I shall weep.... As the memories begin to plague my mind,they begin to serrate and grind. Until I am nothing more than dirt,you disgusting, vile, evil flirt.

I try to unlock these shackles, which restrain me from staying sane. So that these thoughts and memories of you do not remain. Give me my freedom or give me apathy, a to numb this painful reality.

For now I shall await the other to cradle me...............
As I lay here in tears....

A Very Happy Independence Day...

My Comfort Zone

2007-07-12T22:51:00.000+05:30

I used to have a comfort zone where I knew I wouldn’t fail. The same four walls and busy work were really more like jail. I longed so much to do the things I’d never done before, but stayed inside my comfort zone and paced the same old floor.I said it didn’t matter that I wasn’t doing much. I said I didn’t care for things like commission checks and such. I claimed to be so busy with the things inside the zone, but deep inside I longed for something special of my own.
I couldn’t let my life go by just watching others win. I held my breath; I stepped outside and let the change begin. I took a step and with new strength I’d never felt before, I kissed my comfort zone goodbye and closed and locked the door.
I was in a comfort zone, afraid to venture out, one day i remembered that all winners were at one time filled with doubt. A step or two and words of praise could make my dreams come true.

Reach for your future with a smile; success is there for you!It's sooooooooo trueeeee for me.....

Thanks for all that love and encuoragement that i received from my loved ones...........

Good One...

Parents are precious ,so take care of them........

2007-06-20T21:58:00.000+05:30

This was narrated by an IAF pilot to IIT students during a Seminar on Human Relations:

Venkatesh Balasubramaniam (who works for IIT) describes how his gesture of booking an air ticket for his father, his maiden flight, brought forth a rush of emotions and made him (Venkatesh) realize that how much we all take for granted when it comes to our parents.

My parents left for our native place on Thursday and we went to the airport to see them off. In fact, my father had never traveled by air before, so I just took this opportunity to make him
experience the same. In spite of being asked to book tickets by train, I got them tickets on Jet Airways. The moment I handed over the tickets to him, he was surprised to see that I had booked them by air. The excitement was very apparent on his face, waiting for the time of travel.

Just like a school boy, he was preparing himself on that day and we all went to the airport, right from using the trolley for his luggage, the baggage check-in and asking for a window seat and waiting restlessly for the security check-in to happen. He was thoroughly enjoying himself and I, too, was overcome with joy watching him experience all these things.

As they were about to go in for the security check-in, he walked up to me with tears in his eyes and thanked me. He became very emotional and it was not as if I had done something great but the fact that this meant a great deal to him.

When he said thanks, I told him there was no need to thank me. But later, thinking about the entire incident, I looked back at my life. As a child, how many dreams our parents have made come true. Without understanding the financial situation, we ask for cricket bats, dresses, toys, outings, etc. Irrespective of their affordability, they have catered to all our needs. Did we ever think about the sacrifices they had to make to accommodate many of our wishes? Did we ever say thanks for all that they have done for us? Same way, today when it comes to our children, we always think that we should put them in a good school. Regardless of the amount of donation, we will ensure that we will have to give the child the best, theme parks, toys, etc. But we tend to
forget that our parents have sacrificed a lot for our sake to see us happy, so it is our responsibility to ensure that their dreams are realized and what they failed to see when they were young. It is our responsibility to ensure that they experience all those and their life
is complete.

Many times, when my parents had asked me some questions, I have actually answered back without patience. When my daughter asks me something, I have been very polite in answering. Now I realize how they would have felt at those moments.

Let us realize that old age is a second childhood and just as we take care of our children, the same attention and same care needs to be given to our parents and elders. Rather than my dad saying thank you to me, I would want to say sorry for making him wait so long for this small dream. I do realize how much he has sacrificed for my sake and I will do my best to give the best possible attention to all their wishes.

Just because they are old does not mean that they will have to give up everything and keep sacrificing for their grandchildren also. They have wishes, too.

Take care of your parents. THEY ARE PRECIOUS.

Living A Balanced Life - Worthful Read

2007-05-10T10:45:00.000+05:30

To combat modern day stressors, you need to realise that things are going to go the way they are going to go, so you may as well just relax. The most important thing you can do for yourself is to practice extreme self-care which means putting your own needs first.

You must take care of yourself first or you will be no good to anyone else. Self care is simply loving and honouring yourself. Loving yourself is giving to yourself. Giving to yourself allows you to share with others more fully. Being more fully present means you naturally develop less of an attachment to what goes on around you, and can instead be more relaxed and at peace.

Releasing the need to control yourself, other people, and or situations, will greatly reduce the amount of stress you experience in your life. Also helpful is relaxing, refreshing, and rejuvenating your body, mind and spirit.

Your body is your temple, and can easily get run down by stress, strain, and struggle. Take care of it with regular relaxing activities.

Your mind is your guide, it can easily get distracted and off course, so take care of it with regular refreshing activities.

Take long walks; spend time in nature; learn new things; consciously slow down; know and live by your values and beliefs. Laugh. Laughter is the best medicine for stress. Deep breathe. Taking deep breaths will soothe your nerves and refresh your mind.

One...

2007-05-10T10:41:00.000+05:30

One song can spark a moment,

One flower can wake the dream.

One tree can start a forest,

One bird can herald spring.

One smile begins a friendship,

One handclasp lifts a soul.

One star can guide a ship at sea,

One word can frame the goal.

One vote can change a nation,

One sunbeam lights a room.

One candle wipes out darkness,

One laugh will conquer gloom.

One step must start each journey,

One word must start each prayer.

One hope will raise our spirits,

One touch can show you care.

One voice can speak with wisdom.

One heart can know what's true.

One life can make the difference,

you see it's up to You!

Don't ever forget how very Important You Are

I may never see tomorrow

2007-04-22T15:03:00.000+05:30

I may never see tomorrow

There's no written guarantee.

And things that happened yesterday

Belong to history.

I cannot predict the future,

I cannot change the past.

I have just the present moment,

I must treat it as my last.

I must use this moment wisely,

For it soon will pass away.

And be lost forever

As a part of yesterday.

I must exercise compassion,

Help the fallen to their feet.

Be a friend unto the friendless,

Make an empty life complete.

The unkind things I do today

May never be undone.

And friendships that I fail to win

May nevermore be won.

I may not have another chance

On bended knees to pray.

And thank God with a humble heart

For giving me this day.

Enjoy Where You Are...

2006-10-07T11:28:00.000+05:30

There is nothing which is intrinsically enjoyable. What one person enjoys, another person will despise. Enjoyment comes from your attitude toward a particular situation, not the situation itself.

Too many people search in vain for enjoyable activities, enjoyable relationships, enjoyable environments, enjoyable entertainment. A much more successful strategy would be to stop searching and start enjoying.

The enjoyment is not in the activity. The enjoyment is in you. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, find a way to enjoy it. Sure, it's great when you aspire to bigger and better things. But don't fool yourself into thinking that they'll come pre-packaged with their own enjoyment. That is up to you.

Perhaps you didn't choose to be where you are, and it's great that you're committed to getting somewhere else. Yet while you're here, accept it and enjoy it. Enjoying where you are right now will take you a long way toward wherever else you wish to go.

Importance of Hindu Symbols!!

2006-09-17T22:15:00.000+05:30

Tilaka—A Mark Of Auspiciousness

Tilaka is a mark of auspiciousness. It is put on the forehead with sandal paste, sacred ashes or Kumkuma.

Tilaka is applied at the Ajna Chakra, the space between the two eyebrows. It has a very cooling effect. Application of sandal paste has great medicinal value, apart from the spiritual influence.

Application of sandal paste will nullify the heating effect when you concentrate and meditate.

Tilaka indicates the point at which the spiritual eye opens.

The Tuft—Its Utility And Significance

Brahmins (Brahmanas) as well as the other castes grow Choti or Sikha, a tuft of hair.

It protects the brain from any sudden stroke and keeps it cool. The heat of the sun does not affect the head directly.

The tuft is most scientific as well as religious. Any religious act should be performed after tying the tuft.

The tuft of hair has a salutary effect on the essential parts of the brain and the central nervous system.

Significance Of The Sacred Thread

Wearing the sacred thread is a very holy and sacred ceremony amongst the Hindus.

Those who worship God at the three Sandhyas and repeat the Gayatri holding the Brahma knot of the sacred thread, derive immense strength and power.

The sacred thread is a great power for the worshiper who leads a regulated life devoted to the worship of God.

Achamana And Prokshana

Achamana is sipping water three times, repeating the Names of the Lord. Prokshana is sprinkling water over one’s body for the sake of purity, when a bath is not possible. This is for internal as well as external purity.

One becomes pure by doing Achamana after he answers calls of nature, after walking in the streets, just before taking food and after food, and after a bath.

This reminds you of the Lord now and then. Every act, every ritual, every symbol has a deep philosophical importance. They help you in changing the mental substance from Rajas and Tamas to Sattva.

They give you an opportunity to think of God frequently.

It is looking together in the same direction......

Patience

2006-08-22T21:32:00.001+05:30

Often when we feel we are losing control of a situation, or when there are hidden fears we have surrounding it, we become impatient, nervous, or suffer the effects of stress. We find ourselves railing against the natural flow of life. Sometimes in the midst of apparent upheaval, it's difficult to realize that everything is going to workout for the highest good without added struggle.

Patience is a blend of faith, hope, and release. It is a practice, not always something that comes naturally. It comes from being able to find a place of peace, deep inside yourself, where hope resides. In this place you touch that inner knowing where you are uneffected by external situations.

Impatience is a fear based behavior pattern and drains a lot of energy that could be put into constructive action. Remember to be kind to yourself, and honor the personal power that you have to deal with your life's circumstances from a place of calm, rather than a place of chaos.

Tongue Twisters

2006-08-22T21:32:00.000+05:30

If you understand, say "understand". If you don't understand, say "don't understand". But if you understand and say "don't understand".How do I understand that you understand? Understand!

A sailor went to sea to see, what he could see and all he could see was sea, sea, sea.

Growth

2006-07-27T20:53:00.000+05:30

With CHANGE comes GROWTH. Growth is willingness to move in new directions, to take a leap of faith into the unknown and try something different.

It is easy to get stuck in old patterns and routines that keep uscomfortable, but don't necessarily push us to reach our fullest potential.

Look at life as a walk up a beautiful mountain path. If only looked to the peak you may get discouraged seeing only how far you have to go, if you spend all your time looking back at what has gone before, you stop walking. Don't resist the walk, throw yourself into it and enjoy it. Shifting our focus can allow us to see the growth potential within the present moment.

Where has your attention been focused lately? :-)

Forgiveness: A great feeling

2006-07-25T22:44:00.000+05:30

In forgiving we release ourselves from the shackles of anger,bitterness, and disappointment. In this life we will encounter those who will do unkind things, but it is we as individuals who have the power to choose how this will effect us. Remember that not one of us has ever gone through life without hurting someone. Liberate yourself from the restraint of holding a grudge or clinging to past hurt.

So forgive and forget.

" But, can she cook and keep house ? " Asked the young man.
" Oh yes, she is Dharma Vati ! " answered the old man.

" And the Vedas ? " asked the young man.
" Oh yes . . . . yes, she is Veda Vati ! " answered the old man.

The young man is very happy to find the perfect bride and gets married to her. Two days later, he comes back with his newly married bride in town.
The old Brahmin is surprised. He asks, " What happeded, my son ? " Why do you look so upset ?
The young man says, " Well sir, you told me that your daughter is already a Sundara Vati, Padma Vati, Dharma Vati, Kala Vati, Vidya Vati and a Veda Vati ? "
" Yes, my son - I certainly did " replies the old man.
" But Sir - you forgot to tell me that, she is also already a ' Garbha Vati ' !!! "

My Attitude of Gratitude

2006-07-21T23:06:00.000+05:30

Why are people always unsatisfied and discontented with what they have? why poeple always complain about how nasty their lives can be? why there is still so much discontentment when we know that life's beautiful yet too short for us to live with it?

Ya,I've been asking too much all the while and suddenly, I realized that life ain't that unfair as what I thought. Atleast Master's Grace is still there to take care of me, atleast I do feel blissful and lucky sometimes, atleast I found a bunch of frenz who worth being with. But undeniably, I still wonder whom to call when I'm upset, wonder who's the 1st person i'll think of when I'm in problem, who's the one I can share my feelings and hardships with.. anyhow, I have to admit that I'm really lucky enough to have found those who care for me, those who willing to spend their time on me, those who are able to brighten up my day when I'm sad and ofcourse, the one who has made my life more colourful.. thanks a lot to you peeps. I'm grateful to have you people around.

Seriously, I feel really happy few days past. It's like, I never expect it to happen but surprisingly, I got wat I've been longing for. I appreciate what I've got, although it seems like blissfulness doesn't last long most of the time..

A Noble Thought

"Do not count what you have lost.Look at what you have now,because past never comes back but sometimes future can give us what we have lost."

Yawn!

2006-07-17T22:35:00.000+05:30

We usually wonder, 'why the hell am I yawning?'................well we can understand that yawning is a part of routine life but what we dont understand is why!!You all shall yawn atleast once on the the thought of 'yawning' alone............this is psychological.

A yawn is a reflex of deep inhalation and exhalation associated with being tired, with a need to sleep, or from boredom. The word "yawn" has evolved from the Middle English word yanen, an alteration of yonen, or yenen, which in turn comes from the Old English geonian. Pandiculation is the term for the act of stretching and yawning. Yawning is a powerful non-verbal message with several possible meanings, depending on the circumstances. It is also claimed to help increase the state of alertness of a person. The exact causes of yawning are still unknown.

Causes of yawning

An indication of tiredness, stress, over-work, or boredom.
An action indicating psychological decompression after a state of high alert.
A means of expressing powerful emotions like anger, rejection, apathy, or tedium.

A long-standing hypothesis is that yawning is caused by an excess of carbon dioxide and lack of oxygen in the blood. The brain stem detects this and triggers the yawn reflex. The mouth stretches wide and the lungs inhale deeply, bringing oxygen into the lungs and hence to the bloodstream. It is almost certain however, that this hypothesis is not correct. One study documented that this effect does not exist. [1] A more recent hypothesis is that yawning is used for regulation of body temperature. Another hypothesis is that yawns are caused by the same chemicals (neurotransmitters) in the brain that affect emotions, mood, appetite and other phenomena. These chemicals include serotonin, dopamine, glutamic acid and nitric oxide. As more of these compounds are activated in the brain, the frequency of yawning increases. Conversely, a greater presence in the brain of opiate neurotransmitters such as endorphins, reduces the frequency of yawning. Patients taking the serotonin reuptake inhibitor Paxil (Paroxetine HCl) have been observed yawning abnormally often. Another theory is that yawning is similar to stretching. Yawning, like stretching, increases blood pressure and heart rate while also flexing many muscles and joints. It is also theorized that yawning helps redistribute an oil-like substance which coats the lungs and aids breathing. Some have observed that if you try to stifle or prevent a yawn by clenching your jaws shut, the yawn is unsatisfying. As such, the stretching of jaw and face muscles seems to be necessary for a good yawn.

The yawn reflex is often described as contagious: if one person yawns, this will cause another person to "sympathetically" yawn.

ARE YOU ALL YAWNING?? :P hehe!!

Determination...

2006-07-01T22:33:00.000+05:30

Determination brings success.

Contemplation:

Determination gives us strength to go on trying in spite of seemingfailures. It is with determination that we can achieve what we set outto achieve without giving up. It enables us to find resources and usethem for our own success.

Application:

When I am working on something, even if I have setbacks, I need toremind myself of how important it is for me to accomplish the task.When I remind myself in this way I will not loosen my intention andwith determination I can achieve what I want.

Happiest Day!!!

Some superior lines on "Ego"

2006-06-27T20:29:00.000+05:30

For a man, the ego (Ahankara) is very important. If you destroy the ego of a man, he is destroyed.

For a woman, feelings are very important,If you destroy feelings of a woman, she is destroyed. She becomes like a stone.

In a family,wife should never put down her husband's ego.Always pump up his ego! All that a man wants to show is:"look at what I have achieved!Look at what I have done!" Behind all achievement is an ego! So a woman will have to support the ego of a man.

Similarly, a man should not criticize woman's parents, anyone close to her or immediate family. If he does-She is HURT!! She may just take it- she may not react-but you are doing some harm there. This is because a woman-a girl- is proud of her parental house; she has such a strong and deep bond to her parental house.

No woman tolerates her husband criticizing her parents or siblings. She wants them to be honoured and respected. She is emotionally linked to them.

Similarly no man would like his wife to tell him," You are useless!! you didn't do better!" No man can tolerate this.

The "EGO" has a role to play in life. It's like the covering- the membrane on a seed! It is necessary as long as the seed wants to remain a seed! the moment it starts sprouting, that covering has to give way for the sprout to grow......It has to let go...

Similarly in our Bhagavad Gita, Krishna as a friend- said to Arjuna," You surrender to me". Arjuna didn't do that. He simply said "You are my friend,I love you so much!"

Arjuna was told," Come on! what will people think of you?!Are you not ashamed?". When a person breaks down, his ego is shattered.

Krishna was trying to "poke" Arjuna's ego! He was trying to consolidate , awaken and strengthen his ego... and to awaken his valour.

The point that comes through this is just that, one will not look at how weak or strong one is! Even the weakest person will fight when his ego is invoked.

HOSH and JOSH are to be created in each one of us...

Did Shakespeare Ever Marry?

2006-06-24T00:48:00.002+05:30

"One woman is fair, yet I am well;
another is wise, yet I am well;
another virtuous, yet I am well;
but till all graces be in one woman, one woman shall not come in my grace .

Rich she shall be, that's certain;wise, or I'll have none;virtuous, or I'll never cheapen her;
fair, or I'll never look on her; mild, or come not near me; noble, or not I for an angel; of good discourse, an excellent musician, and her hair shall be of what color it please God."

Leaves us wondering if Shakespeare ever did marry.........

An Evening with Guruji @ Ashram

2006-06-17T21:57:00.000+05:30

Yesterday, Guruji called us up for a quick meeting to discuss on Vedic Mathematics Online Tutorial Software. Myself and Vedanna hurried up for a meeting and I ran short of time to get ready for the demo. So just took the laptop and ran to the meeting hall...By the time he entered the room for a metting, I had lil time to copy down the files to the hard drive. Hmmmm........ he didnt give me some more time to embed the flash in index page...huh!!!!

I was all tensed for a while...He entered the meeting hall with a smile on his face...greeted everyone,blessed everyone... and he asked Vedanna what's up? Vedanna said him that we are ready for the demo on Vedic Maths!!!! I got nerved.... and no doubt.. Guruji knew that I wasn't prepared completely for the demo... coincidently he said "swalpa thale novu ivatthu,matthe bere dina nodona aitha?" huh! I calmed down and sat next to him... I cleared all my mind putting forth all the queries to him.... he told me only one thing "GIVE YOUR BEST, REST WILL BE PRESENTED TO YOU ON TIME" and he blessed me giving a peice of coconut burfi :-)

I felt all empty,light, off the worries, tensions....

Guruji just then uttered a word....All of you pray that, this heat is reduced and it rains heavily.....

What a wonder!!!! It rained like CATS and DOGS...heavy breezeeeeeeee, couldn't get out off the meeting hall....It continously poured for three hours and We had great chance to be with Divine for so long....

unfortunately, as usual I forgot to carry the DIGI with me in hurry of meeting.... just lost a chance to capture his snaps........

From aashram I directly drived down to Dance Therapy that was conducted by Dr.Satyanarayana,as Vedanna wanted to shoot a video of the course. I returned back home at around 10:30 PM and I hit my sack....

All I can say is I'm BLISSED!!

Happy Father's Day! -18th June

2006-06-17T21:17:00.000+05:30

What Makes a Dad?

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,

The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,

The generous soul of nature,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,

He called it ... Dad

All that worth a read!!

2006-06-17T20:38:00.000+05:30

An 80 year old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45 years old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow perched on their window.

The Father asked his Son, "What is this?"The Son replied "It is a crow".

After a few minutes, the Father asked his Son the 2nd time, "What is this."The Son said "Father, I have just now told you "It's a crow".

After a little while, the old Father again asked his Son the 3rd time,"What is this?"At this time some __expression of irritation was felt in the Son's tone when he said to his Father with a rebuff. "It's a crow, a crow".

A little after, the Father again asked his Son the 4th time, "What is this?"

This time the Son shouted at his Father, "Why do you keep asking me thesame question again and again, although I have told you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'. Are you not able to understand this?"

Little later the Father went to his room and came back with an old tattered diary, which he had maintained since his Son was born. On opening a page, he asked his Son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary :-"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My Son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a Crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23times. I did not at all feel irritated I rather felt affection for my innocent child".

While the little child asked him 23 times "What is this", the Father had felt no irritation in replying to the same question all 23 times andwhen today the Father asked his Son the same question just 4 times, the Son felt irritated and annoyed.

So..If your parents attain old age, do not repulse them or look at them as a burden, but speak to them a gracious word, be cool, obedient, humble and kind to them. Be considerate to your parents.From today say this aloud,"I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever sinceI was a little child. They have always showered their selfless love on me.

They crossed all mountains and valleys without seeing the storm and heatto make me a person presentable in the society today". Say a prayer to God, "I will serve my old parents in the BEST way. I will say all good and kind words to my dear parents, no matter how they behave".

Why do people misunderstand me?

2006-06-13T13:43:00.000+05:30

Yeh, yesterday I returned back from office quiet early... after slight snacks...I realised that I haven't given enough time for myself these days.. I was on terrace as usual looking at stars..observing what's happenening in my life...and with people surronding me,What a wonderful feeling?

Mom and Dad returned back safely from Europe... Tho they nerved me and sis early in the morning without phone calls or any info about their flight being delayed...I could all feel that emptiness of parents for 22 days... What can fill their place? Nothing in world can equate parents who have taken all that strain of bringing us up.
During their absence..I got good chance to improve my cooking skills as well as home management skills..I relalised the stress mom used to take daily...Hearty thanks to mom. Without her, our home wouldnt b home!!!!

Thinking about my personal life, first thing stuck to my mind is that..why do people misunderstand me?
Neither I have the nature of interefering in others issues nor I get curious about it too. Since my childhood, I have the habit of observing myself..how do I behave with others? what can I improve in self?What good characters I can inculcate in me?
Being so...the care,love and affection to my buddies is been my very nature...it flows naturally towards all my buddies.. I haven't been Chipku in anyones life...each and every buddy of mine means so much to me..each one is been given a place in my heart...

Even with this instict...am I worth to be called a PEST in someone's life?yeh, I feel the pain of being called so by my buddy, whom I counted on so much..alrite..I have no right to judge somebody, Each one's state of mind and thier reaction at that moment.

I consoled myself, with a quote : "New day, new blessings! Don't let yesterday's failure ruin today's beauty, because each day has it own promise of LOVE, JOY , FORGIVENESS and SUCCESS"

I couldnt find much time to think on it, as it was dinner time

Let Go...Let God Take Care!!!!!!

Why wedding ring on the fourth finger ??

2006-06-11T12:21:00.000+05:30

Really interesting thing.

Why wedding ring should be put on the fourth finger??

Pls follow the below step, really god make this a miracle (this is from a Chinese excerpt)

Firstly, show your palm, centre finger bend and put together back to back

Secondly, the rest 4 fingers tips to tips

Games begin, follow the below arrangement, 5 finger but only 1 pair can split.

Try to open your thumb, the thumb represent parents, it can be open because all human does go thru sick and dead. Which are our parents will leave us one day

Please close up your thumb, then open your second finger, the finger represent brothers and sisters, they do have their own family which is too they will leave us too

Now close up your second finger, open up your little finer, this represent your children. Sooner or later they too will leave us for they got they own living to live

Nevertheless, close up your little finger, try to open your fourth finger which we put our wedding ring; you will be surprise to find that it cannot be open at all. Because it represent husband and wife, this whole life you will be attach to each other

Real love will stick together ever and forever

Thumb represents parents

Second finger represent brothers & sisters

Centre finger represent own self

Fourth finger represent your partner

Last finger represent your children

When You Left Me...

2006-06-01T20:47:00.000+05:30

All By My Heart....After Ages....Jotting My Thoughts....

The days spent in two weren't always gloom,
There was a time of happiness when i was with you...

My days feels so long, It's difficult to move on,
When my thoughts are of you and remind me of you are gone,
I'm just so confused, you left without clues..

I THOUGHT MY LIFE WAS WITH JUST YOU!!!!

Expect the Unexpected...

2006-05-27T22:39:00.000+05:30

I think about changes, which happens all around me every day, Some things change because I decide to make them different. I change clothes, I change addresses, I change the oil in my car, or I change my mind about the music I like. Those are changes that I — or someone I trust — put in motion......

I go back to the old saying, "Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong" to explain stuff that happens unexpectedly. I call that Murphy's Law. I see good in all kinds of unexpected things — like people I don't know who come out to help me.

The way I react to unexpected events has a lot to do with learning to expect some surprises along the way . . . and to know that life is supposed to be exciting, interesting, and unpredictable all at once.

All together it's a Joy in Life to face unexpected events.... I stick to my sutra "Come what may! I give my best and I succeed getting the best in my life"

Waqt Tho Lagta Hai...

2006-05-26T11:46:00.000+05:30

Thought-flow in my mind...

It takes plenty of time to form solid relationships, be they personal or business relations. If people took the time to get to know each other well, that rate would most likely be dramatically lowered. This goes for the business world, too.

It takes time for the human brain to understand someone new in life and to act on decisions. Far too often, many of us are forced to rush – not given (or taking) enough time to digest our thoughts and feelings.Thoughts Take Time. It’s rather self – explanatory.Everything takes time.

At this moment..I remember a beautiful gazal by JS. Here it goes....
HMmmmmm....Sabke liye WAQT lagta hai......

Pyar ka pehla khat likhne mei waqt to lagta hai
Naye parindo ko udne mein waqt to lagta hai...

Jism ki baat nahi thi un ki, dil tak jana tha,
Lambi duri tai karne me, waqt to lagta hai..

Gaanth agar lag jaye to phir, rishte ye dori,
Lakh kare koshish khulne me, waqt to lagta hai..

Hamne ilaaz jokhme dil ko, dhar liya lekin,
Gahre zakhmo ko bharne me, waqt to lagta hai...

No Love Here...

2006-05-24T21:35:00.000+05:30

Something disturbs me, something been disturbing me, deep inside this thing is unsettling. Often, in my life, I've discovered people of all walks and faith. They seem strong, able, independent, living a full life. Knowing sorrow and confronting it with ease, brushing aside fear, living a world worth of a king. They have families, they are wanderers, ambitious, lovers and fighters. They pose a life infront of me where nothing seems wrong. They're unbreakable.

Often again, I confront them, to learn or to share a few things lying around, hoping that they would have picked it before and learned it. I wanted to learn their wisdom, because simply I cant touch their serenity. The strange thing is that, they're very confident, they don't do anything wrong, they help because they want to, they like people, they love to share. They have directions in their lives that I cant match. They're secure, they did more that I ever did in my lifetime. These people, you would have met, the warm and happy faces that light up the day, the legends on the side of the road when you feel like giving up. They lead us to the future that's inevitable.

What to discover of this life, if it fulfilled to fill every niche that it fits us together where separation is not in sight. What I found is that behind this faces, in between their words, they walk and their breath, there is insecurity. No, more that that, they are not humans. They are something different. Behind those sane eyes, I saw lights that never was, they have hollow souls. These people, the touched me for years, they left me the moment they met me, but I never knew. But now, I discover, one by one, each one of them have fears, have greed and unfulfilled lust in them to own something and destroy themselves. Why are they so lost, where are they heading. You can see them like this ever, you have to be the one who discovers this identity hidden in the wind swept hills of their heart and emotions.

If you approach them, be it lovers or children, parents, God, they have something hidden in them, that will reveal ever so swiftly in seconds, and will disappear forever afterward. It wont last long enough for you to discern their true self, but if you are in the lookout for such a mistake in a perfect person, then you will learn something that will scar your soul forever. One scar too many, in this life so early, never did I want to see all this. Of people you trust, who carried your life this long, who guided you, they're actually dead lost. They found ways in others who before them did the same thing, lived a pretenders life, then and now not seen by any of us, but they are evil. They are the ones who will kill you for eternity, through the ages, their colors will evolve into every corner of existence, and they will permeate every part of your soul, eating you away into oblivion.

Is it strange now, that I see this people, they are your soul mates, my friends, your brothers, my sisters, they live their lives walking on a thin line to nowhere, and yet they can stand strong in front of you owning the world. Finally it will look like you are the right one, the one who knew it all and yet you suffer the most. Where are this people headed, who are they to touch your lives. Have you ever met them, you will now I guess, no you cant see them, because they're invisible.

There are good people among them, they are helpless but they are brave and they never turn you down. They guide everyone towards the light, and when you can see, they return to the dark. Why do I love the night if not because I want to be this dark knight and ushers in an urban world where there is no love no salvation. They are god's too you see, the Gods that you never though would be able to touch and guide you, because they talk so they are no God you pray too. What are faith if not the believe you have on them, the trust you have on your mother, the same faith you show towards the ones you love, but will they answer you're calling in the other times when you meet them.

There is no love here.

Yeh.. I got a great chance today to donate blood for the first time in my life... I have no words to jott my emotions here.... Initially, I hesitated to get HB tested seeing the syringe :-) later i made up my mind.. what would happen at the max?I may faint! but... my blood can save somebody's life?

It's my master's 50th bday celebration... arranged for a blood camp for the better cause...Hats OFF to my master. He gave all that energy to me to cope up with this..

Critics from co-voluteers before blood donation (hehe)

Ur too emaciated to donate blood..

If u donate one bottle, you have to take in 5 bottles of blood...

Hope you dont faint!

Your are underweight...

After Blood Donation:

Each of them were surprised!

eat well, relax well.... dya need some water? or something to eat? haha!

Doctor's comment:

You are all healthy to donate blood, rather we need some youngsters who are interested to do some service of this kind... It's nice to see you not being tired after donating blood. I was talking about my weight with doctor( as lil underweight for my height :D) I heard something nice from him.... he said " Look at those elder women who are donating blood.. Can you see them tired after donation??? that's all cause of the oily product and fat in their body! Good to be lean but healthy and strong as you are "

Hmmmm he kept my heart in peace :-)

Memory..

2006-05-06T13:50:00.000+05:30

I read something simple and interesting about memory just now.... thought to scrap a lil here...

Memory is the ability of the brain to store, retain, and subsequently recall information.

The ways of classifying memories, based on duration, nature and retrieval of information:

Encoding (processing and combining of received information)
Storage (creation of a permanent record of the encoded information)
Retrieval/Recall (calling back the stored information in response to some cue for use in some process or activity)

JUST AMAZING!!!

Chupke Chupke....

2006-05-05T13:17:00.001+05:30

After a long while, today I remember eternal composition 'Chupke Chupke Raat Din Aansoon Bahana Yaad Hai' by Ghulam Ali for **Nikaah**

Lovely Lyrics!!!!

Oh oh oh, aah aah, oh oh oh, oh ho ho
Chupke chupke raat din aansu bahaana yaad hai

A very small thought on goals..

2006-05-03T23:28:00.003+05:30

Hi buddies!

I liked this thought! so sharing with you all..

Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success

I've Learnt...

2006-05-03T23:28:00.001+05:30

I've learnt
.... That the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.
.... That when you're in love, it shows.
.... That just one person saying to me, "You've made my day!" makes my day.
.... That having a child fall asleep in your arms is one of the most peaceful feelings in the world.
.... That being kind is more important than being right.
.... That you should never say "no" to a gift from a child.
.... That I can always pray for someone when I don't have the strength to help him in some other way.
.... That no matter how serious your life requires you to be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with.
.... That sometimes all a person needs is a hand to hold and a heart to understand.
.... That simple walks with my father around the block on summer nights when I was a child did wonders for me as an adult.
.... That life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.
.... That we should be glad God doesn't give us everything we ask for.
.... That money doesn't buy class.
.... That it's those small daily happenings that make life so spectacular.
... That under everyone's hard shell is someone who wants to be appreciated and loved.
.... That the Lord didn't do it all in one day. What makes me think I can?
.... That to ignore the facts does not change the facts.
.... That when you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you.
.... That love, not time, heals all wounds.
.... That the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am.
.... That everyone you meet deserves to be greeted with a smile.
.... That there's nothing sweeter than sleeping with your babies and feeling their breath on your cheeks.
.... That no one is perfect until you fall in love with them.
.... That life is tough, but I'm tougher.
.... That opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss.
.... That when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.
.... That I wish I could have told my Dad that I love him one more time before he passed away.
.... That one should keep his words both soft and tender, because tomorrow he may have to eat them.
.... That a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.
.... That I can't choose how I feel, but I can choose what I do about it.

A Day's Graving Shocks!

1) Heard from Rathna, early in the morning her CAB met with a reckless accident...was kinda worried if she was hurt in any way, but by god's grace..she is all okay.. She said it's just a NEW LEASE to LIFE...hmmm

-------------------------

2) Tej returned back from her night shift..there was another bad news lined up for me... Raghu! a short,lean, cute newly wed boy is no more with us... he lost his life for saving a cow, which was crossing the road while he was driving his bike.. Most astonishing part is he left us exactly after 3 months of his wedding! Feb 2nd- May 2nd... Having his helmet in his left hand...he died of a severe head injury..A GAME OF FATE?..I strongly felt that,he must have been taken to NIMHANS very immly than the small hospital....so tat better neural diagnosis had been carried out.... unfortunately young couple, away from all relatives...living in bangalore had no one here to take the best of decisions...

Its aweful to hear that Prasanna who is getting married today and a lil Sharu took care of whole lot of things at hospital...medicines, all formalities, informing the known people....huh! Tej was in great state of shock seeing him falling impassive with severly bleeded head on the bed at hospital..

A cute lil 22 yrs old gal is left a widow! she is being criticised of being inauspicious tat her in-laws losing their son! I pray to god to give her the best in her store to endure.. May Raghu's SOUL REST IN PEACE...

--------------------------------

3) After a nap.... I thought of watching TV in the evening... I turned on the TV and there popped up a news that Pramod Mahajan passed away... Tho' I hate politicians, atleast on humanitarian basis i wished him to recover soon... but....

This is Alll A MISERABLE DAY FOR ME :(

Hey Lord!

2006-05-02T23:39:00.000+05:30

Are you really testing my patience? It's inbuilt in me and I know your grace is with me always. I don't want to get low cause of all these problems in life.. how many people in trouble at a time? I deal with it. My cheta? Prash? problems on home front? my own tensions?

After long time today i got a chance to see cheta..but that to see him broken? Why so? I can give him no good advise...All that i can do is to pray to god for his peace.

Dad n amma are tensed of many issues at the moment..all that i wish is to send them for their tour happily.

Prash was lil upset of me being rude to him..i never realised facts would shake him to this extent. He wants to return back to India after being abroad for so many years...I'm not really sure what makes him feel low about it..happiest news is that he is returning back to his motherland! i give time for him to make himself clear to me so that i can advice something better to him...God Bless Him.

yeh its been two days i wrote...got very lil time now to write :( what not happened in two days? people around me passing all their negetive vibrations to me..neither i got time to get rid of it... I apologize to missout my routines.

*********not sure in what state of mind i scrapped this..now that i have already done this..no intention of deleting this post*********

Promise yourself...

2006-05-01T12:39:00.000+05:30

Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing candisturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity toevery person you meet.

To make all your friends feel like there issomething in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make youroptimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best,and expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of othersas you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on thegreater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and giveevery living person you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourselfthat you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, and toostrong for fear, and to happy to permit thepresence of trouble.

No Time For Myself..

Yeh... I'm drained since yesterday.. but have learnt to manage these sensitive days in my life. I got up quite late in the morning as anyways was not allowed to touch many things at home, was lying in bed for long. i had delicious breakfast i.e, Idli, chutney and mango salad. I sat to browse few things on net for a while.I went downstairs and took bath.

As i had to see few guys today, took some time to dress up and i left to matri centers. Both the guys whom i met were quite good. anyways leaving apart these thoughts...

I proceed saying, i watched quite a lot of movies.. like KAAL, HARRY and HENDERSON, SIMHADRI , SHAADI NO.1... I did nothing much today. Amma got bracelets for me and tej which was booked yesterday...I'm happy for it...

Sheethu called me after a long time... she is excited to b married to her love.. at the same time she is lil scared of issues like...relationship after wedding, her responsibilities towards him, especially abt her cooking hehe...I'm so happy for her...we had plans of meeting up today..but it got screwed up coz of my other engagements...and even she said she got busy with buying her jewellaries and sarees for her wedding...

Got online...chatted with harsh and many other friends too..feeling a bit nice.

I haven't given time for myself today...a sad part of today..neither i have much thoughts to scrap here..

My First Post

2006-04-29T13:36:00.000+05:30

I had a plan of having my weblog since very long. The time has come for me to scrap my thoughts here. Being very chatty, I have always had many thoughts flowing in my mind. I'm happy I could scrap something here.

Strating my career in IT since a week ago, I have had very tight schedule at work having no food on decent time. I'm enjoying the job and it's again great to have wonderful colleagues who like me a lot. Not sure of the reason, but it's nice to be surrounded with people who show the belonginess. Being new hire to the concern, I felt lil odd to adjust to people over there for a couple of days. I should be grateful to my team members for not letting me feel lone and considering me as their tm in a weeks time :)

Getting to know that I'm the youngest in the team, again... lot of pulling my leg , teasing me..
guess I wont get rid of this anywhere I step in hehe... May be it's cause of my polciy "come what may take it easy". It's just great to have all freaky colleagues. This freaky part lets me bog down of my work stress.

We had a great party at Rice Bowl last weekend! It was one of my colleagues BDay..tho' I felt out of place being with new folks at the outset, I could get along with them very easily as the party continued... Having more of guys in the party, more of boozing and fagging! huh..never mind a speck of a party.. I wonder how did I manage eat so huge amount of food that day :P I beleive to eat food, company matters hehe especially for me who's been a poor and slow eater :D

Coming to my Sunday (23rd April), I had some customers for facial and waxing. It's good, I'm getting chance to start off with my parlour activities along with my job too. This went on till 3PM and later in the evening, i visited a parlour as i wished to color my hair globally but not streaks.. I chose a garnier-burgundy color for my hair. In the late evening i watched some movies like Tomorrow Never Ends, The HITCH (rewatch).

Beginning of this week(24th), i had some Monday Blues going to office.. but then i recovered off it soon and just been busy with the job stuffs. Being still under training and as a freshers loads to learn. I try to find time to practice at home too. Nowadays am quite comfy with the Manual and Automation Testing. It's good i just have to spend around 3 hrs for travelling to office and coming back home.

I make sure i go on terrace every evening after i get back home..just for the fresh air..to get off the running thoughts!! letting go the past.. i can say JUST TO GIVE TOTAL TIME FOR MYSELF...being in cool breeze, looking at the stars in the sky...dreaming of my goals, thinking of the ways to achieve it, no wonder i do dream of my man. I had no habit of dreaming till i joined this new job.. a colleaague of mine made me plain on DREAMS! How to make things happen, to take things come my way, making my dream come true.. guess i was missing the beautiful part of my life all these years. never mind i'm not too late to dream. I have my MASTER's blessings with me which keeps me moving on.

I received so many ecards from my ex-colleagues. They make my day by sending SMS or mailing me. I must thank god for giving me so wonderful people around me, who remember me always and are there for me when i need them. It's a great feeling to be remembered by someone even after leaving that place or not being in touch personally. Talking about Arun Cheta, a beautiful soul, whos with me every moment, who gives me noral suport eveyrtime i break down.. makes me so releived off my any kinda stress. Think of him, my mobile beeps!

I'm kinda excited abt my NEW HELLO TUNE for my airtel number :) some say, can't predict what kinda gal i'm. some of them just keep giving missed calls just to hear it. I selected the hello tune yesterday. i saw around 20 missed calls when i got up in the morning. All my friends are clever enough to gimme calls in night as i'll be asleep and wont be picking the call hehe...

I watched a movie BULLETPROOF MONK by PAUL HUNTER... It was kinda entertaining movie. It is mystic, witty, fun, and action packed! The storyline is good, the plot is good, and the performances are good. It was a surprise to see Seann William Scott turn from slap-stick joker to slap-stick tough guy. Chow Yun Fat as always does well in the combat, and way to go Jaime King, I never knew she would fit so well in this sort of action film.Definitely a great thrill if you're in the mood for it. I still have three movies lined up to watch..not sure if i find time for them... UNDERWORLD, THE TOUCH, A MAN APART.. I'm planning to watch some of our south indian telugu and tamil movies.. have to check in the website for latest ones...

Hmmm..wedding concerns!!!! It's still going on..could find some interesting guys on matrimony sites, who match my wavelength.Developing talks..knowing each other is the SIGNIFICANT part of it, which takes quite a long while. Not sure of my destiny, but i dream of someone who could to lend his hand to me to make my dreams come true, who can stand by me every moment (doesnt mean i can't be independent :P) I have the power to achieve my goals in my life. Whoever is the guy, I would love to lead a very happy life off the tensions,stresses and issues.

As of now, my career holds the first priority than my wedding. I always beleive in "CAN'T CROSS A CHASM IN TWO SMALL STEPS". So I let everything happen on time very smoothly..

Tomorrow is Akshay Thrithiya. Dad,Mum and Tej have been out to buy some glod for us. I wished a very thin,simple and cute bracelet which doesnt interrupt me holding mouse :P while working. Not sure what mum n tej are gonna buy.. I didnt join them s it's terrible days of month for me and as am lil drained as usual.

I have planned to cook some good food tomorrow. lemme give a try :P
