Blog me...curiosity redefined

      I am an ordinary person. Believe me, I don't have any regrets in being ordinary. Life too is made of many ordinary moments and we are given a gift to make it extra ordinary. All that we need to do to make it 'extra' is to enrich our mind. No am not referring to the materialistic things that you can possess or can buy to make it better but rather your inner gifts like wisdom, intellect, patience, happiness. In fact the whole world can turn upside down if you can build yourself.        Last sunday was my third wedding anniversary, me and my wife went to Innovative Film City that is in Bidadi around 15 kilometers from my home to celebrate. We enjoyed the whole day there. One particular thing that made me stand out was the Aqua Kingdom, an artificial beach laid out for fun. Thou not much fond of water, both of us enjoyed the walk on the beach side and the music. After walking in the water (near the shore) for sometime, we settled to our recliner. I...

          Focus, calm and clarity - aren't these so simple words to say. Well coming to practice they mean a lot for everybody. Wouldn't it have been easy if we could just wire up our brain to get these whenever we can? Does it sound like am talking about the matrix movie scene where Keanu Reeves learns the Kung fu thru simulator? If only learning new things could have been so simple. That day is not far with AI booming.           Let me come back to the topic at hand. If you can deal with the present scenario thoroughly, then you have achieved everything in this world. What does it take to just keep you mind, body still and concentrate on the current task at hand? 'A life time of practice' for sure. Meditation it is said that makes you more mindful and calm. It definitely gives you the clarity and a purpose to the life.           I happen to download an interesting mobile app called 'Curiosity'...as the same ...

       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 !!!!! ...
