Running around.

Hello readers

Hope you all doing fine.

There is no past that we can bring back by longing for it. There is only an eternally new now that builds and creates itself out of the Best as the past withdraws.

-Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Days are passing like leaves which fall from a tree during autumn.

But it is true, there is relatively in time, a person who is always involved in some doings, for him a day passes by pretty fast he will keep wondering how the time passed and always will have a dearth of time.

I remember when I was in high schoo we had a chapter about the great scientist and thinker Albert Einstein, the prose started with an example which explained the famous theory of relativity, it was very simple: when you sit next to a girl you love an hour passes like a minute, but if you sit on a stove a minute passes like an hour, what a great theory explained in a simple way.

We know ultimately time decides everything in life directly or indirectly, we all work with a correlation with time.

At times I feel sad that I have wasted time, when it was not supposed to be wasted and there are moments where I really wanted to use my time productively but ended up not doing it due to an unseen situation.

When we talk about time I do remember the first time someone told me about the importance of it, I guess when was very young my teacher told me: you can buy anything under the sun except time. After many years I feel that statement is damn true.

We are running around. Well is this  a haphazard statement? I do not think so, to be simple we all know we have a timer against each of our names which started ticking from the moment of that first cry till now, if we keep that in mind I feel we would stop this running around.

Running around.

What is running around? Is it physically running from one place to another? no it is not I am talking about the mental running around which is happening with each on one of us ,we tend to recollect things which are useless things and crib about it all the time, we also feel bad for the statements made by others ,who were mean to you and always feel it was our fault .

I had spoken about rambling between past and future in one of my blogs, even running around falls in the same bucket, where we keep recollecting all the happenings of the previous day and worry about it the next day.

It is all the game of time ,yes I am pretty sure about it,a coin which has a head also has a tail ,if today was someone’s head tomorrow will be your head and the following day maybe his tail or yours .So this is very normal .

I feel very much concerned when I see people with mad ego are just lost in this world not even thinking about the reality of life, I know they will realise and come back to reality but time is not kind it runs like a wheel without breaks, in this small journey we must live a life of simplicity, compassion and tolerance.

The most important of all is stop running around your own problems and make it a whirlpool in your head ,go easy on yourself and lets start thinking clearly and walk in the right direction and lead life like a live telecast of a sport rather than viewing it like the recorded highlights.

All the best and thanks for your time.

The combination.

Hello readers 

Hope your week was fine.

We meet people each day and, we get impressed by some, and we try to be like them, well if you call that imitation no it is not, because we still have some monkey genes deep inside which imitates what it likes.

But still there were people  should who stood by themselves and were almost more matured than the rest of the lot, though not in wealth and prosperity but in their knowledge and intellect.

Well if you are thinking who are these people I am talking about, these are the saints and the rishis the poets and scholars who have lived and some of them who are still living that life which is quite different from ours.

The way I see this subject is by measuring the maturity level of these souls, if you just leave the God men part in their names, don’t you feel its just not about the traditions and rituals which they follow it is something more! What is that? It is their intellect which was more ahead of us the prospective thinking, which helped to maintain a safe and healthy societal environment.

Let us talk about the saints, and other enlightened souls who invoked the devotional wave among people which helped people to understand the value systems, the basic mannerisms of society and also gave a purpose of life, when the world was wandering around without a direction.These great men propelled the world towards the correct direction.

The classic example is the great work of Adi Shankaracharya called the Baja Govindam it is the best societal truth I have come across.

Even the poets and writers of all times have written stories which entertained people at the same time also spilled out beans of precious truth, the good thoughts which has driven many people to choose their dreams and walk towards the direction of success.

The reason I decided to write this article is, all the saints the learned man the rishis the poets and scholars had one and only thing in mind spreading good knowledge to the mankind and the good motive to drive the society into a peaceful system with the concept of live and let live.

We always talk about making this world a better place to live and so on, the first step to achieve that I guess is to stick to the books and read and get knowledge which will open up the valves of thinking in our brain, it  gives us a new direction a new height of thinking quotients and may be a second renaissance and make the old and the most famous saying “vasudeva Kutumbakam” possible.

We must definitely stop this biasing of condemning the traditions and practises of the ancient people and also comparing the philosophies with modern science and feeling we are more brainy than them .For a certain extent we are, but if we look at the substance we all converge at their views.

We talk about technology, communication and space travel but these men, without any of these live in all our hearts till date that is called the impact of the true service mindedness and path of truth which they laid down for the generations to come.

Logical thinking, spirituality and maturity Oh what a unique combination to make this world a better place! 

Thanks for your time have a great weekend.

The mentor.

Hello readers

Hope you are all fine.

Make a Conscious effort to become aware of the life you live; the air you breathe; the thoughts you think; the joy you feel; and the love you give and receive.

-Rozine

Even though battles and wars are always a foundation of violence and negativity, yet they have contributed on the advancement of this world in an unusual way.

But are we aware that a self-war is going on within us? It is happening each day, this moment within you.

I am talking about force which is inside us, some people call it the conscious.

 I call it my mentor, who teaches me, guides me through the puddles and potholes of life in a very unique way, he does not take fees for his mentoring, but you will definitely pay him without him asking you to do so, may be not in cash or kind something even more valuable.

We all take many decisions each day, starting from the period we get up till we close that day.

All through these if you just count the decisions you have taken you will recognise the correct ones and your faulty ones.

The judge of these decisions is also your conscious that will give you that feeling whether you were right or wrong.

The Importance of Mentoring.

Actually the counsellor plays a key role on shaping you as a person, so do you always have to listen to him?

I feel we should not because sometimes even a mentor can go wrong and, you pay a heavy price ending up in a wrong lane.

At the beginning I had written about the fees you would pay for the mentoring, that is not currency I was talking about, it is the feeling we get when had dedicated that mistake in haste, and we repent later about it this is just the first instalment of the fees!

There will be no one to blame other than you. Can you blame the mentor no!  If you ask me why? The answer would be the “you are responsible for your actions.”

The above phrase is too common but has a very deep meaning, the you mentioned in the phrase is not you Mr or Mrs. John Q But it is the person who lives inside you that is:  your mind, brain. And the conscious, if you have made a mistake, the coordination among all the three was not on the same page.

We must start taking responsibilities for our own actions that is one of the motives of me writing this blog ,because we see a lot blame game going on in each of our lives today ,according to me it’s a huge time waste and should not be done ,doing that shows we run away from our duties.

 So whenever you take decisions, make sure your mentor is right and for the reason that later you are the only one who will have to take the heat and face it.Lets try to live more matured.

Take correct decisions and live a repentance free life all the best.

Take care, thanks for your time

Happiness ahead!

Hello readers

Hope you had a nice week.

Most Folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.

-Abraham Lincoln.

There are many situations in life where we feel hopeless and I agree we do have many reasons to feel that state of depression when the whole world looks dark even on a lovely misty morning.

Let us understand first why we feel so hopeless, it may be due to rejection, or failures, may be another bad day at the office or at college.

After your mind enters this mode, it takes some time to get back to your normal state of mind.

But there is an irony that I have experienced; my brain works the most effectual when I am blue and we know we keep thinking about the same issue that caused this despair.

I am not sure how many of you agree with me, but I have experienced it many times when I am stuck there and trying to come out of that grave situation, suddenly the spark comes out, and you would be so amazed that this problem could be solved in this way.

 Fire fighting

We spend half the time fire fighting ,a small instance: John is a 11^th grade  student who is very  bright excelling in all subjects ,but one day he was down with fever and later confirmed as malaria a deadly ailment caused by mosquitoes ,so this young lad  lost an year and had to repeat his 11^th grade again ,and to the astonishment of his teachers he could not study well as he was studying before and he would only score a pass mark in all subjects .

one among his teachers Mr.Joseph took this teen aside and asked him why he was scoring bad in his subjects, the boy replied “all my batch mates are now in 12th grade I feel very depressed that I am in studying with my juniors” this answer was convincing and expected by the latter which is obvious, as a teacher will definitely understand a student’s mentality.

So Mr.Joseph called the boy the next day and asked him “Dear John I tell you there is so much for you to learn in life and move on, please stop being depressed on what has happened and start studying, see the positive side your juniors see you as person who knows to take that challenged in life and also consider you as senior among the juniors.

John was very puzzled with this answer and kept thinking about it all the time ,finally he got the brainwave that if he  kept on thinking about his past he would lose his present and future too.

So from that day he started to be his original self, always self-motivated and aced that year, all his teachers were very happy with him.

When he ran to thank his Mentor Mr.Joseph he asked the latter one simple question, what motivated you suddenly and got you out of the depression John replied “Dear Sir I thought about what you said for a whole day, then I started thinking as a matured person, did I make a mistake? Was getting disease my fault, finally I got this answer bouncing around my head which was No!”

Mr.Joseph congratulated his student, for understanding life and wished him success.

I have felt the same many times where there is no absolutely fault of mine and I simply feel I could have done better there, and we end up depressed and your brain starts the swimming out process and there you get that answer you were looking for.

 I cannot say that we need to get depressed and start thinking and solve our problems, instead when we reach the end of the cup and we feel now the taste is turning out to give me a flavour of depression, stop there! start thinking and solve your problems analyse, lets stop being hasty and emotional and stop thinking that getting depressed is the easiest way to get out of stress and start thinking of alternatives to solve those puzzles.

Live smart, and try to smile each day, because we have only life, well that is the part that actually counts so let’s enjoy it.

Have a nice weekend and thanks a lot for your time.

The unicycle.

Hello readers 

Hope you had a good week.

Thinking should become your capital asset, no matter whatever ups and downs you come across in your life.

- DR. A P J Abdul Kalam

I have always treasured watching the circus, except the tricks which involves animals which I dislike, for obvious reasons. But I like all the gymnasts, performed by professionals which is so well planned and executed. 

It seriously takes lot of courage determination and also patience to perform all those acts and artifices on a daily basis.

Now if we think about the unicycle in particular, that is actually the most difficult to ride and also perform the various manoeuvres that we have often seen happening in a circus.

When we look back about the history of unicycles I could gather some information.

US patents for single-wheeled ‘velocipedes’ (unicycle were published in 1869 by Frederick Myers and in 1881 by Battista Scuri.

Unicycle design has developed since the advent of the first unicycle into many variations including: the seat less unicycle ("ultimate wheel") and the tall ("giraffe") unicycle. During the late 1980s some extreme sportsmen took an interest in the unicycle and modified it to enable them to engage in off-road or mountain unicycling, trials unicycling and street unicycling and started using it in circus shows as well.

Once when I was a kid I met a clown after the show was over, he first thanked me for coming and I was also was very happy to meet him, after sometime when I was about leave the circus tent I saw the same guy who was in the clown costume running to a nearby bus stand, when we enquired we were notified that , he studies in an evening college and therefore he earns his bread working here.

Actually when I was too small I couldn't understand, the actual reason behind his running, now I know the struggle that man, went through and I thank him for showing me the importance of education. 

On the same day I had enjoyed the full stage play of the unicycles. I saw the great effort as a team they exhibited to put up a perfect show.

Life is also like a unicycle we need to balance it, and peddle at the right speed at the right time, we must also have correct road to ride this cycle, or else we might lose balance, and the show will be a flop.

The solving of our daily problems is just left to us, if we start balancing this cycle of life with the correct motivation and do the act of balancing when required, I feel we can lead a satisfied and cribbing free life.

We all must all take part in all available acts of the show, like compassion, sympathy and empathy a helping nature, building relationships and maintaining them.

The unicyclist gives, equal time or required time to each of his trick and.concludes the show with a grand success, we on our tiny little worlds should spend time with our kit and kin,rather than always being materialistic and lost to achieve that one goal. We must try to achieve our goal but by giving time to all who love to spend time with you too.

Remember to balance that cycle with the best of your ability.

Thanks for your time have a nice day.
