~ Love You Life...~

So what it feels like the same everyday…with the same set of work that you do and with the same daily chores – the result is super boredom and a stale monotonous life which you can drag till you grey your hair. One such thought came to my mind and for sure this led to an adrenaline rush in the spine ..am I going the way everyone goes and lives life and then regret what we actually didn’t do or still we got a chance and we didn’t had the courage or the bent of mind to not go for it!

My writing of this piece of blog is just one of the key things that I always wanted to do, not that I thought of sharing my being in the world out there but to also know what everyone feels the same as I do…after all we are all humans and share more or less the same genetics. 

As a morning exercise aficionado and an early riser ( thanks to my family who always pushed me beyond limits to see the early sun!), I have found ways to start my day with a zoombastic frame of mind and in that effort have made some super souls who have been gone through the grill of life – no wonder they have tons of experiences to share on a tea cuppa that we sometimes have after our exercise and brisk walking and running… soaked in sweat which I always call the best perfume a man can shower…our endless talks brimming with life’s wisdom always have key takeaways ….the talks never end but time slips endlessly, no wonder I have met some of the best people in the world...who share their life's moments and guide you on matters which otherwise are complex to solve!

One key take away I surely want to share with all of you is that “Live the Moment!” as the next tick of time may not allow to do things which you thought of doing right now…the laggards that we generally are, get up and tweak your daily routine, go for long walks, even if in solitude, there is a surety that you someone inside you will always be in conversation with you – the miracles of nature are just waiting to converse with you and make you a happy lot – all you need is open your self and dedicate your being in the lap of time!

Done so, you will feel a different you! Happy and feeling good from inside – do what you want to do in your spare time – write, read a book, do yoga, play some sport,  watch your fav movie, call a friend you didn’t had time to talk to – seize the moments and uplift your living with positivity.

I again reiterate, make friends with old people as it has two strong positives… one, as they are your seniors and are brimming with life’s wisdom – they are the best teachers ( I always say, all schools prepare and motivate you for that go getter attitude BUT no school teaches you how to handle failure and negatives of life…), these are your best masters and teachers, for they have upfronted the challenges which came their way – A continuous engagement with oldies will make you more aware of life, will prepare you for upcoming challenges and impediments and mature you to handle them with alacrity !

Second, you will never regret not spending time with your Dad, Mom, Grandfather and Grandmother when they suddenly leave you as their talk will always resonate in your mind and you will still have beautiful memories of them – the internal blessings they will shower on your will be intangible and help you in life as they manifest in different forms!

At the end just one line to sum up all  …”Love life as it is one time affair…you will never be born again with the same body, mind and name… live it fully !!!”

~ Life's Moments...~

 Have you ever looked for those ‘different moments’ during the day when suddenly you encounter an anonymous being whom you don’t know – he/she comes only to you for some help or assistance, don’t know why – there are many people around you but you become the chosen one to be asked for alms or any help that he/she may be seeking.

Remember this is the test of your true character and how you react to that quick situation define our true being – this one of sort event would occur anytime, sometimes repeatedly – if you don’t pass the test. Suddenly when the occurrence has happened you would realize that sometimes you were harsh or showed attitude or ignored the askance – though this was not the need of the hour – but by that time the testing moment has just passed and you become that hapless soul again.

I have been a party to such repeated occurrences in my living, a recent case I am jotting brings to me the lesson which years ago someone taught me – true to his living, the noble man exited this world as a much contented man with no frills or regrets leaving behind his success stories and nobility which till date I keep on hearing from common friends.

It so happened that when I was at a flea mart buying tomatoes which now days are damn cheap Rs 20/- per kg and we all being in the habit of selecting the best lot whilst I was chatting with the vendor, a sudden voice from behind was heard – “Bhaiya, 1 kg tamatar dilwado” ( can you buy me 1 Kg tomato), turning back I could see a wheelchaired man in his mid 40’s whose one leg was amputated and that he showered a smile on me expecting me to do what he requisitioned. As I told the vendor to select the best tomatoes for him and simultaneously asked him if he wanted money… his surprise reply was “ bhaiya Paise lekar mein kya karoonga, jo chahiye maine maang liya..” [Brother, what would I do with money, what I wanted, I asked!]. 

This line had  loads of meaning and teachings for me and may be for all of us. After profusely accepting the pack of tomatoes, he steered his wheelchair slowly with a smile, not before showring a streak of thanks to both of us ( me and the vendor)..as he moved, his image made me stay there for a while and his words kept on moving in my head… “What I wanted, I asked, I don’t want money….” , though living a tough life and handicapped, the gentleman wasn’t greedy , he actually asked for what he required… do we all have that streak of acceptance ? I strongly doubt our intentions…thanks life, that different moment was an added life lesson… keep on making me learn all this… as I always say … be a student of life and not of books …for books give you knowledge…life gives you wisdom!

Are you Rich?

 Many of us get entangled with this elemental question of oneself being Rich enough to lead a comfortable life. Each one of us wants to get that ‘Security’ of life when we would be retiring and living a comfortable life without any help from our kids and pals – going by the current phenomenon in the society where kids damn care about their ageing parents and are besmirched in a world of their own, one certainly cannot expect them to be with you and serving you eternally...

It is this thought that takes flight and we start chasing that unimaginable dream of accruing financial security but in doing so we forget the definitions of being rich – for many of us, there are things which have been bestowed on us and we take those for granted, thinking so that these are our ‘Right’ – not so realizing that many of people around us are not so lucky to have them!

As our dynamics of living change, the definition of living an enriching life can be as this…

IF you are hale and hearty and not on any medication of any ailment and don’t visit the doctor or a hospital …You can consider yourself to be rich.

IF you just had a good night sleep and are not on sleeping pills to enforce that artificial trance state of mind, then have mercy on yourself and consider yourself to be truly lucky & Rich!

IF you have choice of what to eat and is always have a food on your plate which you cherish and take a long burp, please consider yourself to be outrightly lucky, know fully well that many people on this planet have much money but are still poor as they can’t have the sweetest of the dishes on restaurants menu as they have been strictly constraint for having them.

Also, if you are married and have a wife and kids who love and respect you, you are again in the league of super lucky souls – considering the collapsing family tradition where parents are looked down and abused by kids and have lost respect for them.

If you have parents who care for you at this age of your life and always call you on phone to ask your well-being and asking you subtly if you are well and having your food on time…this caring makes you the richest person on this planet! 

If you are surrounded by friends who love you and are always there for you for any eventuality and be present on first port call, consider your being as rich as a pot filled with Gold!

Certainly, this one is a far too aberration – You can pamper your conscience to be living as a rich person if you have a roof over your head which you can proudly call as “Home”- be it small or big and that you do not stress yourself out thinking of paying a recurring rent throughout the year and are somehow financial liberated for any major obligation of buying your dwelling….

Now that I stop and leave it to the readers to consider their dominion to be living a life of luxury or penury, considering the basic essentialities of life which I personally believe are more than enough for a decent living during our lives, for the rest, nothing soothes more than chasing illusionary dreams and dying for them unrealized… the choice of free will always be your consideration and evaluation…!!!

~ Its the mind Damn! ~

Have you ever realized that there is always someone talking to you even you are alone, it is through your mind that you generate invariable thoughts which are sometimes complex and gives you that tinge of lateral thinking.

Even if you are totally engrossed in doing routine day to day tasks you get yourself thinking of anything which comes to your mind – any event or happening which struck a chord with your conscience and the mind just throws at you – the only flaw is that we remain ignorant to its tinge and term it as a a passing thought!

These thoughts can create those epiphany moments which can lead yourself to the eureka moments of your existence – now that has been scientifically proved by study of more than 300 subjects in university of Virginia and Minnesota and it came out with some compelling results.

The study revealed that in 24 hours whilst you are ignorant of your ever thinking mind and doing other mindful tasks, you can be thrown superb out of box ideas which can actually change your life forever, those miraculous moments which can take you to the highs of life which you never had dreamt. There is surely something always happening around you which you tend to ignore and think it to be mundane but your mind gives you a tinge to a further think which you totally ignore, though these moments are rare but still they do make an appearance for each one of us!

Many of us are unaware of such messages which our conscience mind is bestowing us on every day – the study further took note of the empirical examples which confirmed its basis – think of Newtons famous tinge of falling of an apple which in 1666 led him to give it a thought about it falling straight down and not sideways or up!

Similarly Archimedes tryst with his destiny came while in a bath tub 😊 when he suddenly observed and then thought about the amount of water displaced whilst he lay himself in a bathtub – he surely gave wings to his ordain thought and further experimented to find answers and lo! the famous Archimedes principle was given to the world! 

Not far off a famous Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan used to meditate on goddess Neeladri when he observed to be getting transcendental messages which led him to write ultra complex mathematical equations which till date form the basis of high scientific research and experimentation.

The other world is continuously wanted to contact us – are we listening and giving a thoughtful presence to our mundane thoughts? Who knows by just paying heed to a simple thought can give you a life changing idea which takes your living to a new horizon….!

~ Gone too Soon ! ~

“Gone to soon?” – but who is to decide what was an ‘appropriate’ time for one to depart? Are we the decision makers who came to this world in our own accord?  - these were some of the deep rooted talk that happened in the just concluded spiritual journey  - a time when you go to another pedestal to find answers which one cannot even imagine- at least one can ponder on the thoughts that arise when one changes the dimension of one’s living!

What you see is melee of spiritual seekers just wandering around here and there, looking for that elusive answer to that of your existence – “Who am I?” , not just Indians but lot of westerners who come to this land of seekers and find some kind of solace , an internal satisfaction which makes you hunt for that ultimate satisfaction of life! 

Most of them fail but many of them get a tinge of who “HE” is and where he is living… the answers are not that easy to gain and comprehend, many have spent their entire existence in finding the answers and have landed themselves in more confusion!

You see ashes being immersed with all the primitive customs and as according to one’s belief, the Ganges is all inviting, come what may, she would absorb every sin of yours howsoever big or small it is – be it in you thoughts or action – you submit your true being into the flowing sigma of life.

Sitting beside the ever flowing nectar of peace and tranquility and seeing the setting sun, the view is majestic which describes the entirety of life – all you need to do is just sit down and be an observer of situations and passing time – remembering that you were never the doer or the controller of circumstances which are bring your life and the world to a different order – you are merely existing and brought to life by someone who the society named a relationship as Parents and you will be exiting this life by someone called your son or daughter – in between you just existed and tried to make ends meet , never pondering what you came for and what was your true purpose – no one does take a break and go on an excursion deep enough to leave the pace of life for some days and come back enriched.

For most of us the Karma have encapsulated us to live a sedentary lifestyle and perspire to achieve our aspirational self – in between if someone goes we assume it to be an act of cruelty by Destiny – but a meditative thought brings a relief to certain degree – as the explanation happens with time – if we never came with a permission to be born, how can we leave this place with our own will, more so be it young or old, we surely are for a limited time and no one would ask us to leave this realm as no one did ask us to come here…. Till then, enjoy and earn your Karmas to be brought again in a new shape, size and relationships, the confluence of people will always there to receive you!!!

~ This Women's Day...~

She has always been there ever since you took life on earth – neglected sometimes and taken for granted for most of the times, the first lady in you life takes many strides to raise you up in this journey of your living. She hardly complaints and is always smiling on all the follies that you perform – She is the rock-solid support of your family and the world is centered around her, Society named this relation as “Mother!”

This Women’s Day is especial as with the passage of time you get to know the formidable support many women had in you life – they made you reach the pinnacles of success and they have shaped your true identity in the society you live. A good Samaritan who has always held her head high and fight the daily wars of living for you to succeed in life.

Many of our woman compatriots live a life of invisibility for the work they do are non- existent or non-gauged in pure economic terms. They just work for a suitable purpose and a clear aim to raise a family and make sure that everyone is bonded together by this institution. In the midst of all her sufferings and her pains, she keeps mum but performs and takes the beating of life – still she does not wither!

Sometimes she is your sister who dons the hat of a loving partner in crime and shovels all her love and affection to her brother for she knows that he is the best pal she can get – the camaraderie is most affectionate.

At other times, she is a wife and mother to your kids – relentlessly she is grilling herself to the household chores and contributing to that non-income group of endless working hours which have no thanking in the society. For she is the non-paid employee that we talk of. In a recent world back survey a starking fact made all ears for me – “Worldwide if we economize the work which all the non-paid woman do – the economic cost of it will end up as humongous 11 trillion dollars” – Still she is nameless and is never made to believe or granted leave as many of her male counterparts do!

In India, if we economize the cost of all the non-paid female force, it would be an equivalent of 7.5 % of our GDP – a figure which is surprisingly far way ahead of our education and defense budget combined! Also, Indian men only contribute mere 31 minutes in daily household chores…as they feel this is a female dominated dominion… What a farce…!

Still she lives in oblivion and is never looked upon by us with a thankful attitude – from getting early in the morning and the last one to sleep – her daily ordeal in maintaining the fine balance of the family is oftently ignored with ease – for she is always seen as that invisible identity in our homes who is always available on short call be whatever situation she be in herself .

Be whatever be the situation – SHE is always ready non-stop to perform – she is never rated for her goodness or being kindhearted or ever adorned for her relentless working with a paycheck – two sweet words of humbleness “Thank You” would make her pay for a lifetime… but we have never said these fearing our male ego!

Ponder , when was the last time you made the women of your house feel proud of her small accomplishments – and Thanked her for the ruthless working hours she struggles come what may – if you cannot remember the day – there is never too late – go and do it today – for she is the one who made you what you are today…until then, just typecasting a single day of an year as the Women’s day wont be justice to half of the earth’s population…Go make a change today…

To sum up I want to add a Sanskrit Sholoka which sums it all & it says...

“नारी अस्य समाजस्य कुशलवास्तुकारा अस्ति।“ meaning  woman is the perfect architect of the society.

Wishing All of you a Happy Women’s Day!!!

 

~ Your Life Bestie...~

Have you ever found a sense of belonging with any poodle or a stray canine roaming around and you found the need to befriend him for your own good…!

Many studies have shown beyond doubt about the smoothness which one gains after being in constant company of animals – The terminally ill have found peace and in many cases have brought back laughter to their lives. The downtrodden and the depressed found solace talking to the mammal be it a cat or dog or any other domesticated pet – you can talk hours sitting with him and he would patiently listen with no human counter-argument – such is the nature of the being with them.

I recently read about a heart wrenching story of a terminally ill cancer patient dying in all loneliness in the hospital bed but he had a regular visitor – and yes , guessed it wrong – the visitor was no family member of the dying man but a pigeon whom he used to fed in the neighborhood park whilst he roamed around – It was certainly time to payback the love and respect his caring friend has been showering on him – the story is pulsating and also has a deep meaning about the emotions and sensitivity of animals around us – though he was not his pet but still sensing the last days his friend was in, he always paid him a regular visit! 

Surely a pet at home shovels a sense of discipline and you certainly feel the camaraderie along with your preferred past time – you play with him and makes kinky gestures.. the pet would always oblige and would respond with all its might.

Nowadays many people have sensed the need to have pets and those who don’t have started to experiment by giving food to the street dogs and cats as they feel at peace with themselves – I have been doing this experiment for quite some time now and now this has become a routine exercise of sorts – the best part being I have named the street dogs such as ‘Jumbo’ ,’Cuddle’ and ‘Simba’ , they have also kind of accepted me in true sense and come wagging their tail as they know for sure that it is time that there would surely be something in their kitty – They love biscuits and milk, a one off loaf of bread soaked in milk turns out to be their best moment – believe me , it took me much an effort to gain their sense of faith as most street dogs wont come near you as them might feel a sense of danger.

The pulsating company that they provide turns out to be therapeutic and surely relives you of much stress and anxiety. Of late I have experimenting various gestures with the stray dogs in my vicinity – as they have formed a formidable bond with me. They have started to say a nice “Hello” which I can sense with their soft bark! – the wagging of their tail is a sure sign of love and affection that they provide to me when they see me and start walking beside me as a army of commandos to protect the fragile target 😊!

The nights have become more friendly as they sit just in front of my house and keep a grandeur watch for any miscreants or fellow dogs from other neighborhood – come rain or cold, they have become the custodians of my family as they easily identify the family members with their sense of observation and smell.

To end this thought, animals around us surely are a friends for a lifetime, all you need is to open up and gesture in a sense they feel loving – they are surely full of emotions, love and degree of sensibility unlike many humans nowdays 😊 ….I am living my life with the them, as I continuously experiment my living- they have become a profound existence of my being…hope they also have the same sentimentalities about me …

 

~ Mohan - The Artist of the Peel...~

Its and Art that he learnt all by himself and that nobody actually taught him. He has been peeling the pineapple with equal fervor for almost a decade now and the expertise has become his benchmark - the zig-zagness of the peel gives it an artistic style and no wonder it gives you a feeling of goodness and taste when you have it! Mohan describes himself as a man with an artistic bent of mind - earlier when he was in his hometown - a remote village in north India, he used to be a craftsman working along with his ailing father, who was a fruits seller. 

He quickly adapted himself to the dire situation life demanded and thus took the onus upon him to work with his father in his “fruit Business” – it’s been now almost 20 years that he is selling fruits, seasons change and so his Mohan’s sell! Sometimes he is selling Pineapple,, in summers he would be selling stack full of mangoes – with all shapes and sizes – his best bet is the mega “Alfonso” Mango which he brings for super special customers as per him “Sir, It is very costly for an average customer to have it and I find not much takers for undisputed king of Mangoes!”

It was his stark charm that captivated me for the first time almost an year ago – when I enquired about some fruit and he said “ for you, it is half the price, even if you don’t pay me, it would do!” – now that was a statement to make me fall for his marketing trick – no wonder I had twice the kg of fruit which I did not intended! 

Mohan is a self-motivated man and dances with the tune of life, what life offers to him, he just obeys. Every time I meet him, I see a spark in his eyes, a new zeal, he would wish me with the same zeal and smile which I fell for almost a year ago – I see him always contended and happy and self absorbed in his peeling of the pineapple fruit. This Saturday was a little different as I could see him making different designs on his peel – as my turn came, I enquired why this change – he had a philosophical  answer to my question “ Sir, change is life!” – it was bang on, as to a thinker, it had a deep meaning and substance to corroborate to the life we all life – we don’t want to change for better but it definitely happens!

He further stated “ making different designs make the fruit attractive and many customers fall for the fruit – just the other day I was thinking to do something different , so this idea clicked… now wonder he has bought the PayTM subscription as well as he wants to be with the changing time and doesn’t want to miss the technology bus all the vendors are going through – I tinged him with a simple sentence “Mohan, you have got tech savvy too…”  to which he replied “Sir, customers want to send money via online- it was my son Raju, he gave me this idea to go digital… business has surely improved and there is no argument and tension of change too…!”

His articulative answers and his reading about the pulse of the business is what makes him different…more so his style and zeal of life is totally engrossing to a readable mind…Manoj is a hero in his own self… doing his Karma with truth and devotion… no sulking and making the best use of what situation he has been put into by God…though his last words this Saturday were truly an eye opener “Sir for me Karma is God!” … I am still in my pensive self, there is much much more that what meets the eye with Mohan…

~ Life - We Will Win...~

 So we have again regain our faith on the almighty, that unknown power that is the wirepuller of this world. An uneventful and tragic natural calamity makes us route to our energies towards that great invincible force that we have given different names – for some it is simply “GOD” for others its “Destiny!” and for the rest, it is plain simple “Grand Design”.

Scientific community would owe this explanation to a scientific phenomenon. The movement of tectonic plates beneath and the convergence of mega energies in fault lines which after some years of accumulation gets released causing massive havoc. Humanity has suffered much in course of its existence on this planet, earthquakes, floods, Tsunamis, and other devastating natural occurrences have wiped out happy go lucky families.

The current Turkey earthquake rescue operations have shown tales of miraculous escape and endurance – newborn kids, old people living for days without food and water under the debris and darkness – in a constant anxiety of thought and a unwavering faith on GOD – that they will pass this turmoil with human grit – they actually did and we see such exemplifying tales of valor….

So what is the underline learning point of life from such calamity – in fact, there are many – first and foremost I can think of is “ Anything can happen to anyone and anytime!” – you can plan your life but cannot plan your destiny, the future is under veil, be whatever your are cautious of- there are things which have been planned for you which would cause you suffering and agony at times but also happiness and laughter!

The silver lining of death and destruction of current calamity on humanity in Turkey has given us all hope and cherish beyond reason – that people will fight back in unison and get back to their regular living , though it will take ample amount of time – buildings will be reworked and many would be constructed from scratch – life will get back to normal over course of time but not without the people who were not lucky to survive and were caught unawares …such is life for everyone as it would be… There has been bigger chaos the world where there were nothing to hope for at the end of the tunnel, but humanity survived with a singular hope and that is “Days would change for better and I would overcome it!”…

I want to quote here an interview of a famous Bollywood actor who was incarcerated in solitary confinement in all the darkness of a room where seeing a human being was considered to be a luxury – the constant banter of the mind and the feeling of loneliness took a huge toll on his consciousness and body but GOD did gave him a reason to live and also a company to wait for everyday and that was a bird that used to knock on a small opening for natural light and air – though he did not have a watch to map the regular arrival of it but as per his estimates it was regular for days and months…. He used to wait for the bird now as it became a habit for the Bollywood star to converse with it… days passed and situations of life changed…finally he survived the incarceration and is now resumed his career ….

The underlying current for life for most of us should be “Keep Walking….”… situations would come and situation would go… our grit would be severely tested … the zeal to live a complete life is what we all should strive for…this is the greatest learning I have seen midst of all the images I see of people coming out of heaps of rubble after days …without food, water and light… close your eyes and think yourself in such a situation… comparison would scare you…but at the end as I again repeat…”Humanity will win and set great examples of human survival to be published in books for the Next-Gen to exemplify…”

~ Boredom Motivation ~

 Boredom is really boring...Is it?  I certainly don’t think so, on the contrary it can be as therapeutic as meditation and motivation, the choice is certainly yours , how you take it perceptively!

Just the other day I met a classy soul – as by now you must have recognized, my writing muses are the below the common man, living life in his/her own style and is certainly a class apart from the rest of the razzle and dazzle of urban living.

The subject was unique in his own character, as she was a sandwich- burger stall owner – Yes, you just glanced it right, “SHE” was just one of the youngsters who had taken up this choice not out of economic compulsion or for that she wanted more pelf – but it was out of curiosity of doing something else – She was certainly a subject to be conversed with. 

The Tea- addict that I am, I chanced upon her makeshift shop for a knack of having something which could satiate my belly – the pavement shop I noticed was "HER'S" - the name seems to be unique in every sense where I could see an adolescent woman running it solely. She was oblivious about her surroundings, deeply engrossed in her day to day happening – with couple of customers standing and looking eagerly at this entrepreneurial girl making hamburgers for them – Her dedication was also a subject of whispering amongst them, though I could fully understand that in daily parlance many of us wont see such social experiments being done by teenagers – that too a singleton female who was poised to do something different from the situation she was currently in.

As my turn came, she asked me “What you would like to have Sir?” – As earnestly expected, I knew she was educated and with a smile I replied “Maam, what is the specialty of your stall, I Would certainly have that for sure!”

“Sir it is Aloo-Ticky Burger, many of my customers relish this and that is my specialty – should I?”, She promptly replied.

“Yes Maam, would like to have the specialty!”, I said.

A few minutes of waiting and there it way, on a disposable plate with a mustard and Peri-Peri sauce – I was about to taste the flavor with all sumptuousness, more so from a lady who had broken the fetters of boredom of an office job and started from the ground level.

As we further conversed in the midst of me biting the so carefully mad snack “ What you did prior to doing this and where are you from, you seem to be an educated lot, unlike other street vendors!”

Believe me, the answer was too surprising – “Sir, I am an English(hons) graduate and was a content manager in Gurugram – a strong sense of doing something else pounded me over time and I resigned and took this plunge! It was sheer out of Boredom of routine work and lifestyle”

My eyebrows went up – the surprise element was evident – “Great Guns, you seem to have knack for cooking Maam and the taste of the burger is a fine example of it” – I said.

Laughingly she smiled and with a little sense of pride, the young business magnate thanked me for the feedback, though there was another shock that was waiting for me to unfold! 

As I asked about the payment, she said – “Sir, the first burger is complementary for the life you are living !!!” – I could sense the deep meaning of her thoughts….

Still I strongly insisted to pay for such a sumptuous feat, but took another step of ordering the ‘Second Burger’ not for the sake of paying back but to honour her commitment and that the taste qualified to be ordered once more!

As she hurriedly packed another one for me (there were other customers who lined up for the snack!), I said “ All the very best for your taking the leap forward – 99% of us would not do so as we are certainly in our most comfort zones of living!” 

Leaving the place, there were varied thoughts creeping my mind – firstly about the huge risk she took in life, a well settled professional breaks the fiefdom of her mind and starts to do something which she loved – it certainly is a huge experiment with life – the second was intriguing too – how she is managing the first burger free?? 😊 – many of her first customers might take one and skip off – what could be her cost equation – these questions would be answered only when I visit her for the second round…

Nevertheless, she certainly was in tandem with my thoughts as she nodded in affirmation – the meeting ended but she had certainly made a tinge in my mind – as a result of it is that she is being written about in this blog….!!!

~ The Beautiful You...~

There is always a sense of humility and astuteness in you which guides you towards your behavior with the outer world and All you need to do is to show your beautiful side to the outer world for it to respond – remember here you are interacting with enormous possibilities in a limitless universe – getting aligned with them is the most profound phenomenon. 

What I have started to observe around me is that there are many souls being patiently doing that ‘Beautiful Work’ without any rewards, maybe they understand this to be their responsibility – in turn they must be getting that elusive internal calm which many of us are chasing. Our accomplishments remain unfulfilled even if we have a iota of grudge or a feeling of comparison or smallness in comparison to others, but surely we won’t mend our ways of living and as a result we fall in the trap.

My advice for the youth and many who feel stuck up in the rigmarole of daily living and life – experiment with your day, do something unique and something which you wanted to do – let it be just a small act of kindness or compassion, you will see the change in your aura and your perception regarding your existence. Doing so, you will surely attract the sympathy of the universe and this would surely have  ripple effect on the people around you – the lives of whom you will touch knowingly or unknowingly – the results will follow.

We have been programmed to be good natured and being beautiful is always the part of the plan of our living, but somehow the pressure and pulls of our society and the huge burden of achieving something is has ripped us apart from the track. Have a constant look on the sufferings of people in the society – with broken relationships, failing family ties, acts of revenge and many other anomalies which have encircled human relationships, the only escape seems to be being beautiful.

To start with, start feeding the hungry, or help someone in distress by whatever means possible or what you can do – Feeding birds, and stray dogs, kittens and other such living beings is another act of beautification of your soul, just take the plunge and see for yourself the calmness which falls on you – the change would be everyone to see.

Remember you were born to be and act as a beautiful living being and so would you die…the key is in your hand…after all, we surely have been given the act of free-will and what we want to be in our short existence here…
