Say no to GOSSIP

Early Morning when you reach your office and when your friends greet you, instead of passing sweet smile and wishing them, often we start greeting but with regret.
Tiring day, sleepless night, unpalatable food, tantrums of kids at home, tussle between family members or between your better-half...
Oh Lord! give a break for heaven sake...
There is so much of negativism in the body. How do you expect that the things that you would be dealing with will in turn be positive.
You need to demarcate and have clarity in thought so that you can plan for your day and its activity merrily. The moment you step in your office, the split in your persona should be visible. It is utmost important to have different personalities.
At your workplace come relaxed with all positive vibes. Think more of your work and about your performance than back bitching about your friends and family. These can only kill your time. It also effects your efficiency and will hamper your growth. The aggression in you will not allow to move ahead in any sphere of your life.
Step-in with confidence with clarity in mind as such what you are willing to do. Do not start your day with gossip. The beginning hour of your working time should be utilized properly. Do meditate for a while. Think in a fruitful way, what you wish to do for the day.
Gossip can only cut short your effective time. Rather entertainment, it amplifies your pressure and will spoil your day.

Think twice and do avoid GOSSIP

Attitude for Gratitude

On a windy morning of December, I was in a park enjoying so called sunny day by reading a book written by Jeffrey Archer titled - Only time will tell. I was deeply engrossed into the character of the book. I saw a lady gardener who was planting the saplings. She was singing a song in her vernacular language. Though I was not able to understand what she was singing, still her voice was sweet which has attracted my attention. Her joy was immense that could be visibly seen on her simple face. I saw few kids playing barefoot around the lady. They were hardly of five or six years. With a thin shirt and torn sweater, they still had the warmth in their heart that made them play merrily; giving tough challenge to the weather that gave goose bear to others. Though their life could be miserable still there was no regret of the situation in which they lived.

I felt how mean we become when we are educated, start living comfortably, enjoying the luxuries of standard life. We crave for more and wish to have all that is even tough to attain or worthless of achieving. We invest less of efforts and want to reap maximum benefit whereas the deprived ones wish to live heartily certainly with what they have. Greed does not touch their simple and pure heart, nor are they worried at all.

The attitude of gratitude is which they carry made me realize how poor I am, in terms of happiness; I lead a stressful life, struggling hard to maintain and manage my name and fame. To earn more than what I require so that I can expend on my luxuries which actually is of no use.

The kids were happier than me. They knew how to entertain themselves and be the true part of the bounties of life. Their joy was true reward to the creator. In return they shared their gratitude for giving life;

They taught me the greatest lesson of life. To be happy, materialistic wealth can be lethal. In fact the life can be the most beautiful one when we kill the thought of growing materialistically. I realized that my attitude towards life was incorrect.

Well I learnt true attitude for gratitude of what the lord has shared and I am blessed with.

Care and Share

Last night when I was on my way back to home, the chilly winter night made me realize the biggest fact that nature shares equally with all. In its eye, there is equanimity. The greed is in human which in fact is forcing it to drive away from being humane. It is the law of nature, anything in excess can be dangerous. Be it love or food or wealth. 

I saw a child of ten years selling bouquet of roses. Barefoot, half naked and rarely covered with warm clothes. The night remains the same for him as well as for me who was a passive observer. Also for the so called blessed person of our society who was driving his luxury car.

When the child had approached with his bouquet to the gentleman in the car, he slowly slithered the window of his car and had exchanged few words with the boy to show-case his knowledge and power of purchasing at good cost.He wanted to have the best buy, hence started to bargain the cost of the bouquet. You can not dominate when you are in need of anything. The child had to accept the quotation stated by the man and had sold his bouquet.

Well, this can be a common thing for many but what has pinched my heart was, God had blessed us with similar bounties.He has made no difference. There is no one rich or poor. But we the human being had made different things for our comfort. Things that are there in nature is shared by everyone but things made by man are shared with only those who pay the best amount for the same.

These differences need to be curtailed otherwise get ready for all kind of evil practices that is slowly springing up in the most intelligent specie of the world.

Let us believe in caring and sharing and enjoy the bounties together.

Challenge

Life is certainly another name of Challenge. The uncertainties in life can be faced only when you have confidence and courage. You need to understand situation and then find proper way out to reach to its conclusion. Few situations can be easily handled but other few may strain your nerve and pull you back. It may rather push you into dilemma. 

Today I could witness such situation. Though it was not related to my life. I am talking about one of my clients whom I am acting as a Career Adviser. She was suppose to sit for her life's first interview. Just before that she received a call. She broke out and was shedding tears. She lost her granny whom she admired a lot. She wanted to get through the interview and share her happiness with her granny. But God had some other plans. 

I knew, my words of condolence can only be heard by her but it would be too tough to enact. It was tough time. But still she sat for the interview. I am not worried about the results, but yes, felt bad. For a moment, I was dejected. 

Turmoil in our life acts like a knife to cut and carve our future efficiently.

Be the Savior

When you sleep cozily on your warm bed, covered with a thick quilt, you tend to forget the day long tired journey. The killing cold wind is no more into your vision. Your feel awesome while sipping a hot cup of tea with all good memories. But do remember, there are people on this earth who do not have even proper shelter to cover their head. They sleep under the bridges, fly overs and at uncomfortable places. Some are half naked and half covered. Wind is the same. It pierces into their blood, hitting their health badly. Some are strong to sustain this pain but few they can't combat and meet their death. They live life miserably and die anonymously.
This winter be the savior. Donate your old woolen clothes and be the part of#Humsaffar

To be compatible is not tough

Accreditation and credit acts as morale boosters. Even when you are overloaded with huge load, it adds more value to the assigned job. Every iota gets counted. You start working seriously towards your goal. As objective is well defined, you dream for only those things that can pave way for your success.

I have been working over ages. But even today, I feel I know very less. The things that are known are rapidly increasing than to the things that I am learning and gaining knowledge of. Because of this increase, there is an immense demand for being competitive in the market. Just by being intellectual will not suffice the need of the organization. I need to have something different and extra that can be counted for.

The new blood always boosts my morale. When I see them knowing better, the challenge envies me. I want to combat them and want to prove that the learning instinct is still alive in me. I do learn; reprimand my thoughts for being ignorant. And this is the only process that keeps me alive. Helps me to mingle with different age groups and share my view point.

I believe to be compatible is not tough when you have right actions and appropriate thoughts in your mind.

Attitudinal Change

Last night when I was on my way back to home, I saw some children selling bouquets, roses of different colors and of different sizes. The weather was not at all conducive. The chilly wind pierced in, creating discomfort, even when I had wrapped self with a Shawl. I was thinking about the Children’s Day and its celebration along with the kids of my NGO.

The moment I saw these kids, felt abashed. The kids who were selling bouquets were hardly above twelve years. Dusty legs, murky hands but a sweet tender smile was always there on their face. They ran behind the cars, expecting few to buy their product. When there was no response from the other end, still their smile was alive. A spark could be noticed in their eyes. They knew someone else will surely buy those flowers.

They moved to the next customer, with positive approach. Are these kids not eligible to be the part of today’s celebration? Country where we talk about unity in diversity, country where we speak aloud about sovereignty, why do we ignore and overlook these kids?

I wanted to have answer for my question, but I failed to get a satisfactory response, as everybody feels bad and emotionally hurt but when it comes to taking constructive step, it is for sure, it goes sincerely in vain.

There is a demand of attitudinal change. The change that is not only thought of but also worked over.

  

 

Though Old Take Care

Whenever we renovate things we tend to discard the obsolete things. Things which were near and dear to our heart once had lost its charm. It is now faded and so we realize that it has lost its worth. Without thinking further, we immediately take a decision of parting such things. We start thinking of replacing the same with something new, something better and precious than what we had prior. In the lusty shine of new thing, the old one seems to be worthless. 
Let us take a stand, instead of discarding and getting detached with the old and obsolete things, let us spend sometime to repair and renew the same so that the object can obtain its lost charm and can once again become bright and attractive.
Relationship generally very old these days are considered to be the worn out. People look for building and strengthening new relationships rather focusing on the old. Let us not forget that they are valuable, more precious and delicate that needs special attention and care; to illuminate the same glow and emit more joy and happiness with everyone.

Festival of Light...

Diwali blasts, lots of sweets, get-to gather, what not...
Every heart is filled with joy. But the true significance of Diwali is into shunning ignorance and enlightening curiosity to learn in every illiterate. Learn to live life happily. To understand the true passion of leading life with pride and dignity. To enlighten with things that can pave way to sustainability. Evil factors will be there in your path, rather neglecting and over-looking them, it is advisable to attack the same. Win over evil with your perfectly right gestures.
Happiness should never be meant for a day. It should be in your life to invigorate your energy level to great heights.
Happy Diwali ...#Humsaffar

True Meaning of Being Happy

Keeping expectation aside, when you enjoy doing anything and feel your presence, you will really be happy. The moment the things come by force, against your willingness it tends to make you sad. Even if the work was of your choice but was not perceived by you at your end, you feel dejected. Involvement into any activity will make decide whether to name it as a happy ones or sad. To gain happiness even in those things that were imposed and were forced to do, will create the joy of achievement. Also you can widen the horizon of learning otherwise monotonous job will kill your creativity. I believe when you are indulged into something that you were not liking to do but still had put your best effort to excel into it, acts like buoyancy.

Be Soft Spoken

When it comes to speaking let us admit the fact that everyone of us would fail at some instance or the other; we all know that to be a good speaker it is very important to speak good things. Even if you criticize someone you will have to use soft words rather using harsh terms that can injure the person's emotion. Also it would hurt instead of healing and reprimanding someone at a mistake. It is suggestible to empathize. Better you know and explore the right terms and correct time for correcting. Speaking and telling someone about certain things is our day-to-day activity. Hence we need to work very hard to abdicate the wrong ones and imply the right form of speaking.
Let us speak and check our own speaking skills.

Shun Your Negative Thoughts

When you want to improve, the biggest hindrance that you may face is the state of denial. You wish to improve but what to improve and how to bring necessary correction is bit dynamic and too confusing. Incorrect level of motivation could be another factor that can stop you from accepting the change or putting your foot on to new way.
Shun your negative thoughts as such your thoughts will lead to novel actions.Encourage self introspection so that you can pave your way to improvement more satisfactorily.

When to begin

Often I have come across with people who start preparing self when they take up anything new. It may not be wrong for those, who were unaware of the activities that they may have to pick up in future. But I am afraid, students who are into professional studies, even they start their preparation for bright career in eleventh hour.

Career building, particularly in Indian subcontinent is never given much importance. Priority is given to acquiring knowledge and bagging certificates. Even parents they go with a notion that if the child has good number of degrees, will surely get through the hurdles placed by interviewers easily.

When I quote the word Interviewer, this is not to be restricted to only job interviews but also the art of sharing your view in order to raise capital for your new firm or venture. Lack of career preparedness is dumping the efforts put together by many. 

Time is demanding for a change in the students outlook. They need to understand the significance of career advisory in their life.

No end to Learning

There is no end to learning. You can learn from every one at any time and any where. I realized this when I saw a kid building a castle with the sand. His creativity, his logical application were so unique that it left a deep impression on my mind. I believe we learn a lot when we observe the things. When you can't observe, you definitely learn things through the way you feel. May be you are in your subconscious mind, dreaming about a dreary thing. Though you know, in fact it is not present still the feeling is so true, it can give jitters. But the process remains without an end as there is no summation. 

Your learning is complete, only if you can collate 

Do take time out of your busy schedule and try to write or record what you have observed and improve your understanding and learning everyday.

Happy Reading!

You walk alone

The need can never be fulfilled, you will have to walk alone and pave the way of life. There is no shortcut. Nor if you are accompanied by someone it becomes easy rather I find it too difficult to lead life with others. When there is no respect or when you are not given the value that you deserve for, you really find it meaningless to move along with others.

I don't know why people think of someone in their life. I think, the moment there is someone in your life, you are given away your true sense of freedom. You tend to belong to others and thrive hard to pursue and make happy others.

Let me not get into such bondage wherein I lose my own identity and dignity. I wish to lead, I wish to decide and take my own decision. 

Being Truly Blessed...

When we all think of sipping a warm cup tea with some hot snacks on a rainy day, I came across those who are blessed to enjoy this rain. As they had no shelter, instead of running hither and tither, they had unlimited fun. More cautious to enjoy and not to miss the chance of having fun with true nature, they all went on splashing water on their friends,jumping with a thud and laughing heartily.
Though I am blessed with all amenities, I am missing these. Sometimes, being not blessed is also a great blessing...My Heart Realized....

Rain Drops

Showers of Rain
Cooling the nature and seeping the plain
Allowing the seeds to nourish
and to replenish
The stocks of farmer
Covering the terrain
Greenery everywhere
A lot to share
With the needy and the deprived
To fill heart with joy
To allow human to enjoy
The bounty of nature
Showers of Rain
Indeed quenching the thirst
And let the seed burst
Into a healthy plant
To grow and sustain

Attachment

When you are deeply attached with someone it is tough to listen anything bad about him/her. You know that no one is born perfect. Also the bitter fact that people tend to develop certain bad habits. But it is too hard to admit the fact that the person whom you love more than your life, is at flaw. Though you can't avoid the bad habits still you can create situations or motivate others so that he/she can stay away from it.Your attachment can help you a lot.

Morning Breeze

Morning breeze blew the yellow flowers

On the street, over the path

Millions walk and trample these flowers

Still they lay, with their iconic beauty

Lest they are badly crushed

Their beauty is ruptured

Mixing with the dust and soil

It talks about their turmoil

But, no one heard its pray

Was it waiting for someone, who may

Pick it up, and put it in vase

Alas! it is crumbled and dead

No more beauty, nothing to be said...

Mystical Life

Discomfort of life may seem to be tough and challenging yet they come up with a new lesson to learn and to make our life worth living.
Today while returning from my friends place, I saw two kids chit-chatting. Scorching sun, unbeatable heat had no affect on these kids. They were happy because they have learnt the art of adjusting with what they had rather craving for those that they may wish to but hard to get.
I reached home. This was just a sight that I may often see. But it had an empathetic impact over me. Reason being, due to regular power cut, the battery back-up of the inverter could not support and I had to live with discomfort for an hour till the power supply was resumed.
I got irritated but the moment I recalled those two boys, their sun tanned body with bare feet, my thinking drifted away from the discomfort to the life of adjustment. I filled a glass of chilled water from the earthen pot and sipped it. The newspaper enticed me and my mind was deeply engrossed into the published news.
Angry and discomfort you can bear only shift your thought.
May be this is the simple art of living...living with peace and comfort even when there is discomfort.
