Blog me...curiosity redefined

       I am feeling good today. In fact with what ever I have today am feeling great. Thank God for all that you have given me. I am happy with what I have and feel good with the grace the God has gifted me. Life is not only about what people think it ought to be. If you are contented with what you have then life is bliss.        One person's happiness need not be another. Would you agree to this?  Just because someone thinks you don't have something in life, doesn't make you any less happier.       I am thankful to the Universe for all that I have today.       I am grateful for the peace, happiness and contentment that God has given me today.     Wish all of you have a good day and a great year ahead!  Hope you make your choices better.

       'Om', probably the only word in the spiritual world that does not have a religion tagged to it. Some may argue that it is part of the Hindu custom, but I beg to differ. It might have originated from Hinduism but a sound that does not have a religion or caste attached to it. Well that is my view.        I recently got a message in whats app from my friend and believe me, I have not seen such a wonderful message till date. Here it is:      ~ In spite of so much to eat - Fasting is considered healthy      ~ In spite of so much to travel & explore - Meditating is considered superior      ~ In spite of so much to see - Closing your eyes and looking within is considered eternal      ~ In spite of so many voices, words & sounds - Silence is considered ultimate  and the list goes on.  A simple message and yet so powerful it is. All the answers lies within ourselves...

         Have you lost your mind? Isn't this something you commonly hear? What is it that we are afraid of? Is it to lose something or the fear of the world criticizing us for being dumb or stupid? The questions are plenty for sure. The answer lies in you and your mindset.          Spiritually speaking there is nothing to lose, don't you think. Every failure is a learning experience, after all we are all born to learn and re-learn until our karma liberates us from being reborn again.          I believe the whole mankind has misunderstood the purpose of our existence. Isn't that the reason why all this sufferings? To me the true purpose of a human being is to do better karma than your previous life until you achieve nirvana. Ha ha...that was easier said than done. Well no harm in at least trying it out, what do you think?          Being positive in this life, you would agree that even ...

    A movie that has really moved me and educates me every time I watch it is 'Peaceful Warrior'. It has a decent script and acted wonderfully. I loved the movie for its simple teachings it gave me. Every human being has a purpose to our birth, wouldn't it be so good to find our what it is? Here are few things I learnt from the movie: a) "Empty your trash"                 Mind is the dustbin here...removing the unwanted thoughts and retaining what is relevant is the only way to lead the life blissfully. Doesn't it help us to achieve more by being in the present moment? After all this is what the yogis, sanyasi are preaching us over the years.        Being present and devoted to the moment 100% is bliss. b) Life's 3 rules        Paradox - Life is a mystery...don't waste time trying to figure it out.        Humor  - Keep your sense of humor especially about yourself....

        Last sunday started off as usual for me, that is when my wife reminded me that we need to paint the deepa (earthen lamps) that we bought. It was totally her idea to buy these and paint them with the colors that we got from itsy-bitsy.  What a wonderful idea it turned out to be!      She started off painting few of them and that is when I joined her. I just loved the final touch I could give those. It is a sheer bliss when we play with colors. Imagine you get to make your own color combination with the few that you have. Isn't is so beautiful that painting can sooth your nerves, make you more calm? I can feel the calmness to the core. Even better when you have a couple of hands and heads to give you the ideas.        Don't they look great?   Here is the snap of our creation.     Let the light of lamp glow forever in your life and make your life bliss. Happy Deepavali to all of you !!!!! ...

      Yes you read it right...poker is where you hear 'I am going All in'. Wonder what it takes to put everything you have at stake and just jump in. After all its just a game, isn't it? What if it's your life, instead of a game? Would you have the same guts to play the hand? Well it speaks of your courage. Don't risk it, if you are not so sure. Again it is not for everyone to play safe. What is a greater loss than life itself? If you are playing for your life or your health, you may have to think twice, don't you think.      It gives me goose bumps to see the poker players betting everything they have. So well planned move, yet hoping that the opponent would fall for you. That is the thrill in a game.  Adrenaline rushing, blood boiling, heart pumping - who wouldn't want such a thrill?          Feeling the calmness at the table, the waitress whispering for a drink, cards hustling...waiting for you to make that move. Life hap...

      Life is too short to indulge in everyday crap that we see, hear and sense. Ah, wouldn't it be better to live like animals, just think about it, all that you care is the day's food. Imagine you had the power to transform yourself from a human to any animal or a bird for a couple of years. Which one would you choose? :)       Healing power lies with the nature. Time is one such factor. Your sorrows, miseries don't last long. Even better when you just push the technological devices (laptop, phones, kindle or whatever) aside and just be with the nature. Of course, I meant being with yourself.  Silence your mind and listen to those birds singing, leaves falling off the trees, water flowing thru the stream. Haven't you felt the perfect harmony?       Imagination takes me to run around the jungle like a Tarzan or maybe play a game in Jumanji. Would you accompany me?  My trek to Mullanagiri (Chikmalagur) was a life changing experie...
