Mindspeak

Today morning it so happened that I went to attend d marriage of a distant cousin accompanied by daughter and parents. Specially mentioning marriage because a young mind tends to get bored while watching all the customs except if it is your friends marriage where you are sort of king in control of many aspects of marriage. Here parents introduce you to oldies (read relatives) with all adjectives in the world for you and you have to keep a smiling face throughout. Thank god, I was already bundled into nupital knots else the proposition would have altogether different, with each person looking like a hawk searching for next easy prey. As I said earlier, my inner self took control over me soon and I asked permission to leave early from the scene. Coming out of the marriage hall, I quickly caught the first rickshaw I got and told him to take me to the nearest railway station. While being in the rick I went down the memory lane..... When we are young our attitude towards life is total

Valentine's day, Valentine's day, Valentine's day You are so unique because you make everyone pray Your craze starts right from school days in the modern world No surprise that old aged and youngsters are involved in your fold St.Valentine never knew his message of love would be so popular that fundamentalist will have to protest against this day by creating panic and fear But love, as it is very simple, honest and clear finds a way in the hearts of youngsters in remembering their dear Definitely, youngsters should always know that love is such a pure emotion on the d-day, true lover even lacks words to express his love, being in full tension The problem today is many have taken things for granted among some of the youth The 'moral police' being agitated try to discipline everyone in east, west, north or south A simple solution is enjoy the day with the beloved ones as much as you can As a matter of fact no one can cause any damage to love or cre

Every person living in this world needs 'power'. The 'Power' to survive, the 'Power' to struggle, the power to overcome sorrows, the power to get up after a fall. As everyone agrees, the mental power is bigger than physical power. The yogi's  had this divine knowledge and they overcame almost all their obstacles by themselves. Even those who have power needs to be reminded of their inner powers at appropriate time for them to take full advantage of such inner strength (Yups.. you guessed it right... The Powerful Hanuman) Everyone of us is a stuffed with lot of power unknown to us. We make use of it too, again unknowingly, when appropriate time comes. Even the laziest creature on earth, whose biggest passion is sleeping, raises to the occasion much before time the day he has to go on a picnic. If the scheduled time to start is 5.00 am on a chilly morning, rest assured 99% members of the group are guaranteed to assemble much before time. (We should

Mr. Ravi a daily laborer, used to travel to his workplace by walk. Thinking about all the adversities of life he faced in daily life, he stopped at a railway crossing. A railway crossing, a signal are places on roads wherein every person, rich or poor, has to stop. No amount of any kind of influence can help you get over the other side easily. Such stops are important more so because everyone can continue his process of thinking which he generally does while travelling by road. Gazing each other is one of the best ways to get over time. Like others, Mr. Ravi too was involved gazing people around him. Just then, a person arrived on bicycle near him. The next thought obviously that came to his mind was 'How lucky this chap is to have a bicycle?'. I will put in all efforts and earn some extra bucks to purchase a new bicycle at the earliest. No sooner, the bicycle rider stopped, he gazed around to find a person on a two-wheeler. Not being an exception, he too thought, 'T

The advantages of being flexible are always more than expected A flexible person as compared to a stubborn is more accepted Being Flexible means always ready to adjust as per situation Here, personal  wishes and choices takes a back seat without litigation A flexible person adds to option of a captain of any team For he can perform any task and make the captain beam A Flexible person adds to the overall value of self and  his teammate It motivates others to follow him, thereby brighten the team's fate However, Being Flexible is not an  everybody's forte or an easy task For it demands regular sacrifices and to hide true emotions behind mask Further, all the sacrifices of a flexible person may go in vain if the efforts put in by him are doubted as if he is to make a personal gain Naturally being flexible is bound to bring a bad name in the beginning As others feel it is pampering the bosses, for the sake of their praising Others envy the presence of such a f

           All the readers of my blog, an unique experience that I had in the past one week is worth a mention and hence this note today. One of the newest school in Kalyan (East) currently in peak form announced distribution of forms for Nursery on 28th January, 2013 from 8 am to 10am.            Now, what impact does it have on the minds of the concerned student... Nothing :-).. Honestly. He is hardly concerned where his parents are going to send him to build his career, to build the career of another nation builder.... Whooo!!!!... but the apathy of their parents is worth mentioning. Some poor people (not in money terms),  cannot curtail their anxiety, nor can control the anxiousness (this is a serious problem), assembled near the school gate right from 26th January, 2013 evening.... You may be thinking what a great deal. They have to actually spend the next 36 hours at the same place including two nights and one day. Its not a picnic package by any means.. though 26th January was

The work that brings peace to heart The work that brings rest to mind The work that brings a smile on the face No matter how much laborious  No matter how much time consuming No matter how much pain staking The work while being done makes one forget the moon and sun The work on completion Brings about complete satisfaction Irrespective what the world says Still your mind appreciates May be a routine for an outsider Still you hear your heart beats clearer Is your creativity; Is your vision Is surely a matter of your pride, satisfaction There are many views for being satisfied One school says 'Never Be Satisfied', With what you have achieved As it is a point of your being held back from progress Whereas others say, 'Be satisfied with what you have achieved As you need to be contended at some stage of life without stress' Forget what the world says about your decision It is going to bring you cheer and satisfaction

A man has to prove his mettle in life, which moves very fast Not only being a child but till the day he breathes his last Being a toddler, parents expect them to perform in front of all including reciting poems, alphabets, numbers right up to juggling with ball When a child moves into a school, the real test is to start The child has to satisfy his peers, teachers and his parents apart No time to enjoy leisure is the story common, of every home No time to nurture their hobbies, No time to play a game Not playing a game is again dangerous for child in many ways as a child never learns to accept 'loss' on those few unlucky days This acceptance of loss makes him strong at heart and the child gets ready to face challenges in life, being smart Some parents put the burden of Expectation to impress others Without understanding that freedom for a child can work wonders Some parent jump to the defense at every problem of the child, even mild Encouraging at times b

Every person has a special time for special people, old and new For the opportunities provided in life are less and at times, few To celebrate success of Heramb, Udaan is an occassion Felicitating meritorious students and also having final year valedictory function Its a way of inspiring students, to achieve better every one present in the first year thinks of improving his marks meter Final year students enjoy by participating in various cultural activity Dancing, singing is common, participating in ramp walk being a priority Even the volunteers who help in arrangement of the program enjoy Everyone works selflessly as a team irrespective of being a girl or a boy Udaan can have different meaning for different mind The official version being 'Unlimited Dreams and Ambitions Nurtured'

Going to sabarimala is a blessed pilgrimage having people of different caste and various age Going alone through dense jungle is not suggested Hence, Joining groups for journey is better opted But, being a part of a group, is more testing people with different mindsets make the journey interesting Some people stubborn to their demands to be met, shout bluntly Being Flexible in a group makes the survival and rapport instantly Everyone may be a king at their individual level For the betterment of group and self, one has to manage his personal ego well All the problem arises because many forget the aim of pilgrimage its not expecting luxuries but facing challenges with courage One tends to forget he has come to get blissful darshan of Lord, without ego who comes as 'Jyothi' year after year as promised decades ago Swamiye Saranam Ayyappa

Learning is continuous process, a life turner Till the end of life, every person is a learner What to learn, Where to Learn, How much to learn, from whom to learn Depends on the thirst you have, and what the teacher provides in return We can learn from small small incidents we meet everyday Our mistakes, our experiences teach us in many a way One feels its the teacher who teaches a student a lesson on the contrary, its the teacher who learns by observation The mistakes of students, the doubts he raises in the classroom improves the knowledge of teacher and helps him to groom A teacher becomes better by the rich experience gained a student is happy too as gets a teacher who is better trained No teacher can boast to be a master of the subject  for the audience changes and so does the teaching aspect A teacher gains respect from the entire society For he guides the career of many in the city Life of a true teacher is like a candle, burning s

A game that needs no introduction, to say the least every Indian enjoys this nothing less than a feast The game is simple, a batsman scores runs during his tenure of stay the purpose of bowler is to limit the score by taking his wicket in any way To make it more interesting, a bowler has support in the ground for fielding placed all over, who not only stop the flow of runs but also do catching and diving Its a fascinating contest between one v/s eleven the players confidence and his mental strength gets even The entire atmosphere is made electrifying by the audience supporting 'their team' cheering and shouting slogans, to motivate them to win This game has taken many people(player) to the pinnacle of success with the rub of the green in his favour, a player performs superbly even under stress 'Never take success to the head and failure to the heart' Also, 'Practice makes man perfect' is well propagated through this art Winning, Loosing, Ho

Emotions in persons are very different, very odd Devotion is a character blessed only by God The character who has reached heights of fame  - Hanuman is being worshiped today for being staunch devotee of Lord Ram Sant Kabir spoke to people through his 'dohe' Sudama gained prosperity in life by sharing with Lord Krishna some 'pohe' Dyaneshwar, Tukaram, Ramdas -were a few blessed soul preaching their 'enlightenment' through 'abhangs' being their goal So many saints, few known and many unknown, though mortal sang praises of the God merrily and became immortal Being a devotee is not at all easy for he has to obey Master's command selflessly If selfless surrender is difficult, to put one's ego at other's feet is daunting The criticisms from every corner of society will be always mounting A true devotee can gain control of all such mental block For he enjoys the company of his Master at every tick of clock Once the mind is

We start this journey with or without any previlage Likewise it ends without our knowledge What happens in between is the tale quite different Every one is in a race to nibble his share of bread and hutment If everyone is allowed to share his experience as a game It would be very interesting as no two stories would be same No doubt, the childhood days are the best no tensions, no responsibilities, just play and take rest Playing being a child, teaches many a lesson He learns winning and losing happens in a session The funny part is every child wants to grow up fast Being old, he thinks why did the child within did not last The adolescence is the most difficult phase when he is neither small nor mature to handle his case No sooner he enters the age of marriage His eyes and mind searches for a partner besides a good package He feels his life being settled, with wife and children Praying for success of cubs in 'Jungle' when they get out of the den The

The word 'banner' has spread amongst all like a viral flu Many takers surfacing 'out of the blue' People from different walks of life use this source To scream about their deeds without remorse Remorse for advertising illegally Leave alone the concern morally Even the 'paid' banners are not spared The 'Rulers' put up their banners over it, without being cared It is such a hypocracy that No one wants to pay But want to have their share of say Used mostly to tell when did one bless this world Wishes by followers in new designs and some unconventional word The other extreme end is neither spared, in a sense Everyone join hands to offer their condolence All the functions in between, are displayed irrespective of any age A first birthday, marriage or achievement of any personal mileage The biggest headache, no doubt, comes during election Wherein every candidate have list of deeds to mention Wishes during festive season related to any c

The day 12.12.12 was special for many people in different ways. Many were happy to have survived to this date and felt blessing for being able to enjoy to see this day and had plenty of posts in facebook and other social sites. Some were more precise and posted exactly at 12:12pm on dis date....Wow!!! Some people had  their birthdays on this special date... Further few people recognised that we were a generation who are lucky to see the dates from 1.1.1 to 12.12.12 which may come back after a thousand years only..  What an observation, Hats off!!! But a single saying, overcomes all the euphoria exhibited above - "Even this time will pass away". So what made this day special??? The CNN-IBN had telecasted an award function - 'Indian of the Year' at around 10.00pm. Congratulations to all the deserving winners of the award. Mr.Vishwanathan Anand, was conferred upon the title, which was heartening because of many firsts he had achieved. He was the first per

The day when i started writing a few lines called poetry one of the wish i had was to describe this intangible factory But what was required to write was less imagination more of experience and importantly lot of devotion GOD can be different for every person in ways as many But he describes HIM the best who could enjoy HIS company The first touch of GOD in a human life could be either through sacred books or word of mouth of a devotee In the beginning everyone thinks some else God is only a 'feel of good' - nothing more, nothing less The 'rationals' argue that is HE is nowhere but sincere devotion makes HIM felt everywhere Having faith in HIM and sharing one's success is way of living Having blind-faith gives chance to few to say adverse about believing GOD is an acronym for Generator, Orderliness and Destroyer You can always be with HIM by chanting daily lines of Prayer.

'We are born alone, we leave this world alone'...says a common saying. But when we think back, this is not actually true.... we are born with lots of relations.. blood relations, a father, a mother, a brother, a sister, a grandfather, a grandmother, many uncles, many aunts, and so many other relations which one may not even know and may have not even seen through his life time but are relatives and the fact is that we really do not have a choice as to choosing any of this relations. We have to accept them as they are, without raising any voice, even though they are good or bad, from any view point but the golden lining is after birth we have a right to choose one companion, one person whom we call our own, 'a friend'. A friend is generally a idiot, the person whom we think we should avoid the most but end up telling the most important and heart kept secrets easily. Those secrets which we either fear or feel ashamed of talking with anyone else in this world. The mo

The person who works on an art either in full or in part whether average or very smart  hitting the outskirts or bulls-eye in a dart keeping all his emotions in the inner rings without letting the people know many things ready to display his creations at all times being happy or sad rarely affects his frames but the creation does reflect his mind because the flow of air is always with wind The limit of this community is not the people who display their masterpiece but every individual who works for stability and peace An actor, a singer, a dramatist, a cinematographer a poet, a writer, a painter, a story teller, a chartered, a lawyer, a secretary, a teacher a priest, a doctor, a preacher a pilot, a driver, a sailor a plumber, an electrician, a hair dresser, a tailor whatever u do for your survival in practice you are an artist in this game of cat and mice through these few words, a tribute by this host to this community of creativity called 'artist&

There are many things we see and want it without fail knowing for sure that everything around is not for sale An interesting fact though is we thrive for it till the end and this is really a way one has to mend Unfortunately, we still put it all the efforts to gain not once but again and again For some it is a positive way of achievement to boast as it becomes a target of life to achieve at any cost but thinking practically it only adds to the existing burden leading us nowhere in this life but heaven we get ourselves so involved in achieving that thing that we forget that we are actually destroy our present being Strange but true..........
