Blog me...curiosity redefined

Courtesy - Internet        I don't have the words to say...as the photo conveys everything. It is a zen proverb.  Knowing it is one thing, acting on (or rather walkingon it) it is another. What if the hurdles are meant for you to become strong? Is there a way to bypass it (or fly over it)? Or is it meant for you to overcome your fear? You know the answer to these.         I only wish that God gives us the strength to walk on the path destined. All the best!

      Ever wondered what it takes to be confined to the four walls of your room for almost 80% of the day and rather night. If you are thinking am referring to it from a negative context, you are wrong. It is a bliss, provided you like yourself.        It is definitely not like you have a partner to sing "kamare me bande hei aur chaabi koo gaye" (bollywood song), my reference has always been to stay alone. To me having a internet connection with my laptop on hand can do wonders. I sometimes feel I can conquer this whole universe. Well that's a bit of too much of imagination you can say.        The whole world is at your finger tips when you have net connection. They say world is well connected, to me it is just a click away. All thanks to google which make it more easier. The ever-lasting music, the social media connections, the short themed stories, plays, memes along with interesting articles, vblogs just make life so great. ...

    Quite often we see people being polite in asking others. 'Can you please hand over that paper to me?' Adding a please in your request would may hell lot of difference along with the tone you use to convey the same. Isn't it more apt to use it when required? Most of us in India at least perceive this politeness as rather softness.  To me that is clearly a mistaken identity between the two identical twins. You need not be soft by character to be polite.  It is just a more formal way to be polite. So why this wrong perception? Is it due to our brought up? Is it due to the way you think the world should be? Or rather is it just being odd man out?      In a country where diversity and tolerance are its pillars on which it is based on, we are so unfortunate that we see things in our own perspective rather than have a open mind. Obviously not everyone is intolerant and closed. But why is it that I see it more often these days.      Let u...

Courtesy - Internet      The story goes back to 1922 when Albert Einstein went to Japan as per his plan to give a lecture instead of receiving the Nobel prize in physics. For many this may look odd. Who in the right minds would not go to receive a Nobel prize? Isn't it?  Well that is Einstein for you.       In the hotel Imperial at Tokyo where he stayed for his lecture, the crowd did not leave him alone.  In this midst of chaos, a courier guy came to Einstein for delivery. As a gratitude Einstein wrote him a thankful note which is now known as theory of happiness.  "A calm and modest life brings more happiness than the pursuit of success combined with constant restlessness"  ~ Albert Einstein No wonder he is a genius and not all us can do what he has given us. But his simple words on happiness has given the mankind everything he needs. In-spite of this we are after the rat race. Isn't our quest for domination in thi...

        My favourite past time is to watch TV with family especially if there is a show like Big Boss which makes you laugh, cry and share the emotions. Isn't that what life has to offer us? Well I am here to make the most of it. After all we only live for an average of 60-70 years. To me this is a small existence when you look at the whole universe and its life span. I would gauge my tiny bit of living  in this whole Universe by the contribution I made to make someone's life better.        It is quiet often that we loose track of what is needed of ourselves, wouldn't you agree? How really you get the track back is left to you? I find at times pleasant tunes help me.         A simple life can be enriched when you add music to it. Its the spice to this life which just clears the cluttered mind. Music to me is the contribution of those clean hearted ones. A tribute to all the music lovers.         ...

          Emotionally speaking it is good to help people. Believe me the needy people are the ones that need your support. But unfortunately not everyone appreciates your help. It is those disgusting folks who does not appreciate your help are the ones that I feel pity on. Grow up man. Have some decency in life.          Courtesy is a gentleman's game. But if your kindness and soft hearted nature is being taken advantage for then believe me you need to show who you really are. At times it is not compassion that is needed but assertiveness to handle such folks.            You know the famous saying from Dalai Lama  "Compassion and Tolerance is not a sign of weakness but a sign of strength". Would having more of it, cost you?             

       Aren't we all filled with great expectations from our environment? Be it from our family, friends, company or your circle.  Do you want to live up to the expectations of them or be yourself irrespective of what others think of you?  There is nothing wrong with others expecting something from you, isn't it? The real question would be 'if you want to match theirs or yours?' Haha...it is your life after all, correct?        In the midst of this expectation chaos, we need to find our self and maintain our true identity. Is that difficult? I don't think so. Well, not to me at least. I owe this to the latest vipassana meditation technique that I learnt recently. It is because of this, I choose to be 'Me'. What better than being yourself?        Living up to the expectations, keeping up the perceptions are all great. But the one thing that really no one can take away from you is your true identity. Let us all be ou...
