Magical Thoughts & Readings

The Bygone year

2011-08-11T22:01:00.000-07:00

Today I am inspired to write again. It has been practically more than a year that I wrote anything in my blog and I wonder as to how I have still managed to garner around 100 views in the last 1-2 months. Although I am writing more than 1500 words on a daily basis I was too exhausted to write in my blog. I was never even inspired.
Today I saw this movie Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, and remembered that I had planned 2 such trips with Sid and Rocky. We had planned about a road trip to Leh and Laddakh and a holiday in Thailand. We too had some things like white water rafting and trekking planned for ourselves. I do not know when that would be. Firstly let’s recap what happened in last year. From July 2010 to July 2011
The year that has gone by has been very eventful. I have grown lot as a person. I did things that wanted to do, and also got to do things I never thought was possible ever. I travelled as much as I never travelled before. I basically started earning and spending as well. I got involved with 2 special persons. I got a girlfriend a relationship and a break up too. I got asked by nearly 5 girls in 10 months. (Still feeling wow about it).
Work wise, I got a job; I got promoted twice, left it and got another one too. I lost a friend and well wisher to sudden death and formed new association at the work place. I wrote several more articles reviews and web content and got them published in hundreds of more websites. I taught an SEO Class, and I booked 2domain names and started work on 2 of my websites. I met 2 celebrities and had lunch with one. It was wonderful to have lunch with a fabulous looking, beautiful actress, someone who adorned 100 pictures in my computer. I conducted 2 successful healing related workshops in Mumbai and several more in Nagpur. I garnered praise and criticism too. I am somehow peaceful with the paradoxes in my life.
First time in life I had complete boys time out, first time I had wine. I travelled for work I travelled for leisure. I flew in plane, sailed on boat, travelled by train, bus, car, auto, and hand held rickshaw. I broke friendships and I made some new ones too. I watched as many movies in theaters as I had never watched before. I also read 3- novels.
I went on to become more materialistic than I ever was and yet never felt more spiritual from inside. I also ended up seeing some more of my past lives discovered some patterns and worked on healing them too. I healed several of my issues and progressed. For the coming years now I feel like living more vibrantly. I captured many moments in my camera and now somehow feel drawn towards photography too.
As I look back I am happy to see that I lived a “Full Throttle” life in the last one year. For the bygone year I can say yes!! I started living. I am full of dreams and aspiration for the coming time. More on that in the next post.

Story -You Never Know

2010-07-08T12:35:00.000-07:00

You Just Never Know
Author Unknown

Bill worked in a factory on a production line, he was a big, awkward, homely guy. He dressed oddly with ill-fitting clothes. There were several fellow workers who thought it smart to make fun of him.

One day one fellow worker noticed a small tear in his shirt and gave it a small rip.

Another worker in the factory added his bit, and before long there was quite a ribbon of cloth dangling.

Bill went on about his work and as he passed too near a moving belt the shirt strip was sucked into the machinery.

In a split second the sleeve and Bill was in trouble. Alarms were sounded, switches pulled, and trouble was avoided.

The foreman then summoned all the workers and related this story:

In my younger days I worked in a small factory. That's when I first met Mike. He was big and witty, was always making jokes, and playing little pranks. Mike was a leader. Then there was Peter who was a follower. He always went along with Mike. And then there was a man named Murray. He was a little older than the rest of us - quiet, harmless, apart. He always ate his lunch by himself.

He wore the same patched trousers for three years straight. He never entered into the games we played at noon, wrestling, horseshoes and such. He appeared to be indifferent, always sitting quietly alone under a tree instead. Murray was a natural target for practical jokes.

He might find a live frog in his lunch box, or a dead spider in his hat. But he always took it in good humour. Then one autumn, when things were quiet in the factory, Mike took off a few days to go hunting. Peter went along, of course. And they promised all of us that if they got anything they'd bring us each a piece.

So we were all quite excited when we heard that they'd returned and that Mike had got a really big buck. We heard more than that. Peter could never keep anything to himself, and it leaked out that they had real whopper to play on Murray. Mike had cut up the buck and had made a nice package for each of us. And, for the laugh, for the joke of it, he had saved the ears, the tail, the hoofs - it would be so funny when Murray unwrapped them.

Mike distributed his packages during the lunch break. We each got a nice piece, opened it, and thanked him. The biggest package of all he saved until last. It was for Murray. Peter was all but bursting; and Mike looked very smug. Like always, Murray sat by himself; he was on the far side of the big table. Mike pushed the package over to where he could reach it; and we all sat and waited.

Murray was never one to say much. You might never know that he was around for all the talking he did. In three years he'd never said more than hundred words. So we were all quite astounded with what happened next. He took the package firmly in his grip and rose slowly to his feet. He smiled broadly at Mike - and it was then we noticed that his eyes were glistening. His Adam's apple bobbed up and down for a moment and then he got control of himself.

'I knew you wouldn't forget me,' he said gratefully, 'I knew you'd come through! You're big and you're playful, but I knew all along that you had a good heart.'

He swallowed again, and then took in the rest of us. 'I know I haven't seemed too chummy with you men; but I never meant to be rude. You see, I've got nine kids at home - and a wife that's been an invalid - bedridden now for four years. She ain't ever going to get any better. And sometimes when she's real bad off, I have to sit up all night to take care of her. And most of my wages have had to go for doctors and medicine.

The kids do all they can to help out, but at times it's been hard to keep food in their mouths. Maybe you think it's funny that I go off by myself to eat my lunch. Well, I guess I've been a little ashamed, because I don't always have anything between my sandwich. Or like today - maybe there's only a raw turnip in my lunch box. But I want you to know that this meat really means a lot to me. Maybe more than to anybody here because tonight my kids' ... as he wiped the tears from his eyes with the back of his hand ... 'tonight my kids will have a really good meal.'

He tugged at the string. We'd been watching Murray so intently we hadn't paid much notice to Mike and Peter. But we all noticed them now, because they both tried to grab the package. But they were too late. Murray had broken the wrapper and was already surveying his present. He examined each hoof, each ear, and then he held up the tail. It wiggled limply. It should have been so funny, but nobody laughed - nobody at all.

But the hardest part was when Murray looked up and said 'Thank you' while trying to smile. Silently one by one each man moved forward carrying his package and quietly placed it in front of Murray for they had suddenly realized how little their own gift had really meant to them, until now.

This was where the foreman left the story and the men. He didn't need to say any more; but it was gratifying to notice that as each man ate his lunch that day, they shared part with Bill and one fellow even took off his shirt and gave it to him.

THINK, BE KIND ALWAYS...YOU JUST NEVER KNOW WHAT SOMEONE IS FACING IN THEIR LIVES!

Proverbs by kids

2010-07-04T23:01:00.000-07:00

Now kids by far i know can be most uncompromising undiplomatic and straight thinkers and best observers. They reflect back the reality as it is even if its not the truth. Here is a fine example of it.

Proverbs by kids
A Third grade teacher collected well known proverbs. He gave each kid in the class the first half of the proverb, and asked them to come up with the rest. Here is what the kids came up with:
Love all, trust ... me.
No news is ... impossible.
Strike while the ... bug is close.
A miss is as good as a ... Mrs.
A penny saved is ... not much.
Don`t bite the hand that ... looks dirty.
You can`t teach an old dog ... math.
None are so blind as ... Helen Keller.
The pen is mightier than ... the pigs.
An idle mind is ... the best way to relax.
Where there is smoke, there`s ... pollution.
Better to be safe than .... punch a 5th grader
Happy is the bride who ... gets all the presents.
Never underestimate the power of ... termites.
When the blind lead the blind ... get out of the way.
If at first you don`t succeed ... get new batteries.
If you lie down with dogs, you ... will stink in the morning.
Children should be seen and not ... spanked or grounded.
You get out of something what you ... see pictured on the box.
Laugh and the whole world laughs with you. Cry and ... you have to blow your nose.

Dil Mange more -- But is that a reaility

2010-06-22T05:16:00.000-07:00

SO the advertisements say. Dil mange more ( The heart asks for more...)

Karo Zada Ka Irada ( Intent for more ) Now why would such ad's sell. Is it that being greedy is in fashion or considered ambitious --NAH the truth is far from different. Because the following is the reality of the lives of us people living in this century.

Welcome to the 21st Century

Our communication - Wireless
Our phones - Cordless
Our cooking - Fireless
Our food - Fatless
Our Sweets - Sugarless
Our labor - Effortless
Our relations - Fruitless
Our attitude - Careless
Our feelings - Heartless
Our politics - Shameless
Our education - Worthless
Our Mistakes - Countless
Our arguments - Baseless
Our youth - Jobless
Our Ladies - Topless
Our Bosses Brainless
Our Jobs - Thankless
Our Needs - Endless
Our situation - Hopeless
Our Salaries - Less and less...

SO that is why our DIL MANGE MORE. Don't call us greedy.

Did You Know

2010-05-29T12:22:00.000-07:00

Hey folks another beautiul read. I got this from the santabanta forums.

Did u know That?
Did you know that when you envy someone, it's because you really like that
person?

Did you know that those who appear to be very strong in heart are real weak
and most susceptible?

Did you know that those who spend their time protecting others are the ones
that really need some one to protect them?

Did you know that the three most difficult things to say are:

"I love you, Sorry and help me"

Did you know that those who dress in red are more confident in themselves?

Did you know that those who dress in yellow are those that enjoy their
beauty?

Did you know that those who dress in black are those who want to be
unnoticed and need your help and understanding?

Did you know that when you help someone, the help is returned in two folds?

Did you know that it's easier to say what you feel in writing than saying
it to someone in the face? But did you know that it has more value when you
say it to their face?

Did you know that what is most difficult for you to say or do is much more
valuable than anything that is valuable that you can buy with money?

Did you know that you can make your dreams come true, like falling in love,
becoming rich, staying healthy, if you ask for it by faith, and if you
really knew, you'd be surprised by what you could do.

The Ascension

2010-05-26T22:41:00.000-07:00

Things have changed a lot in the past 9 years. I somehow feel that time has been running lot faster since 2000 and lot of people have experienced many symptoms of ascension. This website Emerging Earth Angels has listed some of the ascension symptoms. I originally found it through a friends blog amd mow iam copy pasting all the symptoms and my experience about it from this wonderful website. I feel that my readers may have also surely experienced quite a few or a lot many of them.

The List is as Follows

• Have you felt in recent years and months that you were stretching far beyond what you had the capacity to endure? Yes

• Have you had many emotional ups and downs, strange physical aches and pains, many losses in the form of friends, jobs, family, finances, and much of anything else? YES LOTS
• Have you experienced dizziness and vertigo, neck and back pain, intolerance for lower vibrating energy, and abdominal weight gain and bloating? Again YES
• Do you wonder who you are looking at in the mirror? Had a loss of identity? Not really

• Have you been “removed” from your usual means of employment and cannot seem to find another job, even though you never had this problem in the past? YES TERRIBLY YES
• Have you recently moved to a new geographical location? Having a very strong desire now
• Do you experience short periods when you are very cold and cannot seem to get warm? Not really
• Have you had hot flashes and night sweats not relating to menopause (even if you are a male?) Nops
• Do you feel you have been pushed out of your groove by lower vibrating people? I felt like that in my office and certain clubs I was a member of
• When you go out in public or to an event, do you feel as though you are “acting?” Sometimes yes
• Is it hard to remember and identify with the childhood version of you? Ooh SO very much
• Have you had a serious medical situation in recent years that left you feeling helpless and powerless? YES BAD MEDICAL SITUATION..Not just me but some other people too
• Do you crave the company of children and when in their presence suddenly feel that everything is now “right” and you can relax as you are home? ITS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR QUITE SOMETIME NOW
• Have you had periods where you wake up at exactly the same time every night? Not Really
• Have you had anxiety, panic, or what feels like depression? Now a days not that much but yes it was a lot until 2 years ago
• Do you at times have strange and disturbing nightmares that are not normal for you? Not really
• Have you ever had experiences of forgetting what you were going to say and finding it near impossible to “find” the words you were meaning to speak? Yes that has happened
• Have you had periods of time when you continually saw repeating numbers, whether on digital clocks, license plates, or other arenas? Not really seeing ;but yes there is a pattern. I have gotten double digit numbers on my license plate my swimming pool membership card my 3 ATM cards. And when iam asked to think of a number this 44 or 144 always pops up in my head.
• Do you continually mis-spell words or superimpose sentences and spelling when you attempt to write something, even though you may have been a master at grammar and spelling for most of your life? OMG YES ..SO MUCH YES. Its been a perennial problem
• Have you had times in your life where you felt “no sense of place?” not much but I kind of can relate to it
• Do you continually have short-term memory loss and at times cannot remember things that occurred only yesterday or even a moment before? YES LOTS
• Have you experienced periods of what felt like low blood sugar forcing you to eat every two hours whether you wanted to or not? I had that 2 years ago
• Are your emotions out of control from time to time (sudden weeping and sadness, or are you just plain over-emotional)? Do you ever feel lost and alone? Yes that has happened
• Do you at times feel that there is nowhere left to go that remotely fits you anymore? Yes I do that feeling from time to time
• Have you found that the only way to stay sane is to be home in your own personal sanctuary? Humm I have to agree
• Do you have a strong sense that you are here to accomplish something, but you cannot remember what it is? Do you “miss” something, but are not sure exactly what? YES its been like that for quite a LOT of time
• Do you feel ungrounded and spinning out of control at times but not at other times? Hum not literally spinning , but ungrounded for sure
• Do you wonder why things seem to be getting worse instead of better? OOH YES ALL THE TIME
• Has it become difficult to be in crowds, large stores, and the like? Have you seen lights, heard voices, had ringing or buzzing in the ears, or felt unusual energy pulsing through your body? Do you have bouts of allergy symptoms or sinus problems and headaches? Have you ever felt energy pouring through the top of your head?
Yes I feel as if something is kept on my head from time to time for the past 2 years. Energy, yes! That is also quite frequent. Recently, I experienced buzzing and hearing strange sounds during a certain initiation. Allergy was these until 3-4 years ago.
• Have you quit reading spiritual and personal growth material? Not completely But yes Its drastically reduced
• Is it increasingly difficult to spend substantial amounts of time around individuals who seem dis-connected, “ego” driven, or who embody many “issues”? Do you just want to flee? I have got most of such people out of my life
• Do you wonder where in the world you have landed, feel that you do not belong here, and want to go “home”? That used to happen almost all the time daily from 2000 to 2006

If you have experienced a fair amount of the above, you are most likely having or have had in the past, the most common of the ascension symptoms and experiences. There are far too many to list here, and far too many of us have had these strange and common occurrences to warrant them as an accident or perhaps some kind of bizarre virus. These symptoms and experiences are a direct result of our spiritual expansion process, as we begin to vibrate higher and begin to embody more light than ever before. (A brief note: It is always best to seek medical attention when necessary, as certainly not all of our strange symptoms can be attributed to the ascension process.)

Our New Symptoms and How We have Evolved
• Have you lost your desire to be a healer? Not completely but yes its very very reduced
• Have you felt in recent months that the energy you used to embody is no longer there? Its lessened
• Do you wonder what you are now supposed to connect to and wonder how to connect as well? Sometimes that happens
• Do you suddenly feel that your life is “here” and not back “home” somewhere? Yes I would say 90% of that has happened
• Have you given up any desires to save anyone or anything and only simply desire to stay put without extending? Not completely given up but yes significantly reduced
• Have you given up belonging to groups and continually discussing spiritual matters? Again yes. My affiliation to groups has reduced.
• Have you discontinued meditating, “clearing,” and intentional actions involving creating, moving energy, or consulting divination sources? Again I will say not stopped but reduced very much as compared to before
• Have you lost the desire to bring up the energy of the planet, heal it, or the like? Well it’s not gone, but sense of being responsible for actions towards earth has evolved
• Do you no longer have the urge to make anything happen by yourself? I still have some urges to make things happen but I wish other things to happen on their own
• Are you tired of being alone when it never bothered you before, and now crave the companionship of another or others? Not really! but my wish for some company is gone up a little, however I still prize my aloneness
• Is your own personal energy more “subtle” than it used to be? Yes subtle enough to need extra focus to be felt or experienced tangibly
• Do you often feel invisible when you go out in public? Not much but yes sometimes I do
• Are your needs frequently met with ease, with no real effort on your part? Or rather, are you rarely lacking anything? Mostly my needs have been taken care of, but now I do feel some lack at times
• Have you begun setting strong boundaries and find that you are not as “open” to everything and everyone as you used to be? Yes I am not as open as I used to be
• Have you grown to appreciate the small things and find that you are not so interested in material possessions, getting what you want, or having to have things a certain way? No that has not yet completely happened
• Have you come to realize that everything is not about you, that the behavior of others has nothing to do with you, and thus, you no longer take things personally? Yes, it has been there for quite sometime
• Do you put yourself first in regard to your health and happiness? Yes I do
• Are you now comfortable refusing to participate in things that feel very “wrong” to you? Yes I can refuse more comfortably now
• Is it easy for you to close the door on others, knowing that you need not be “nice” and accommodating when interacting with them was not your idea in the first place? Yes
• Do you feel a peace and tranquility that you had rarely experienced in the past, and do you now feel safe and protected? Not really
• Are you ready to retire? I want to but can’t retire
• Do you notice much more of what is around you, instead of what is going on within you? No nothing like that
• Do you easily and clearly see others and what they are here to contribute? Do you acknowledge them and connect to them easily when appropriate? Many times yes other times it takes me time to recognize
• Are you aware of the whole, can you interact in groups without taking over or discounting the contribution and gifts of others, and can you allow others to become involved without having a “don't tell me what to do” or controlling attitude? Yes I can do that
• Have you come to realize than nothing needs to be “fixed” and never did? Have you dis-continued offering your services when you were not even asked (and this includes being asked by nature and the planet herself as well)? Humm kind of yes I have discontinued many times I don’t give if I find it taxing to me

• Do you know that you are not perfect and never will be? Yes I am well aware of it

• Have you found that you spend more of your time and focus simply on one of your passions or talents, and not on a variety of interests as you may have done in the past? Yes I have

A salute to Ratan Tata

2010-05-18T12:02:00.001-07:00

2. Relief and assistance to all those who were injured and killed

3. The relief and assistance was extended to all those who died at the railway station, surroundings including the Pav- Bhaji vendor and the pan shop owners.

4. During the time the hotel was closed, the salaries were sent by money order.

5. A psychiatric cell was established in collaboration with Tata Institute of Social Sciences to counsel those who needed such help.

6. The thoughts and anxieties going on people’s mind was constantly tracked and where needed psychological help provided.

7. Employee outreach centers were opened where all help, food, water, sanitation, first aid and counseling was provided. 1600 employees were covered by this facility.

8. Every employee was assigned to one mentor and it was that person’s responsibility to act as a β€�single window clearance for any help that the person required.

9. Ratan Tata personally visited the families of all the 80 employees who in some manner be either through injury or getting killed were affected.

10. The dependents of the employees were flown from outside Mumbai to Mumbai and taken care off in terms of ensuring mental assurance and peace. They were all accommodated in Hotel President for 3 weeks.

11. Ratan Tata himself asked the families and dependents β€“ as to what they wanted him to do.

12. In a record time of 20 days, a new trust was created by the Tatas for the purpose of relief of employees.

13. Whatg is unique is that even the other people, the railway employees, the police staff, the pedestrians who had nothing to do with Tatas were covered by compensation. Each one of them was provided subsistence allowance of Rs. 10K per month for all these people for 6 months.

14. A 4 year old granddaughter of a vendor got 4 bullets in her and only one was removed in the Government hospital. She was taken to Bombay hospital and several lacs were spent by the Tatas on her to fully recover her.

B. Epilogue

1. How was such passion created among the employees? How and why did they behave the way they did?

2. The organisation is clear that it is not something that someone can take credit for. It is not some training and development that created such behaviour. If someone suggests that β€“ everyone laughs

3. It has to do with the DNA of the organisation, with the way Tata culture exists and above all with the situation that prevailed that time. The organization has always been telling that customers and guests are #1 priority

4. The hotel business was started by Jamshedji Tata when he was insulted in one of the British hotels and not allowed to stay there.

5. He created several institutions which later became icons of progress, culture and modernity. IISc is one such institute. He was told by the rulers that time that he can acquire land for IISc to the extent he could fence the same. He could afford fencing only 400 acres.

6. When the HR function hesitatingly made a very rich proposal to Ratan β€“ he said β€“ do you think we are doing enough?

7. The whole approach was that the organisation would spend several hundred crore in re-building the property β€“ why not spend equally on the employees who gave their life?

A $20 story Remainder

2010-03-28T01:52:00.000-07:00

After a long time I got a E mail which I found worth sharing with the world. Here it goes ..

A woman came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find her 5-year old son waiting for

her at the door.

SON: 'Mummy, may I ask you a question?'

MUM: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the woman.

SON: 'Mummy, how much do you make an hour?'

MUM: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the woman said angrily.

SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'

MUM: 'If you must know, I make $20 an hour.'

SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.

SON: "Mummy, may I please borrow $5?"

The mother was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.'

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door..

The woman sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

After about an hour or so, the woman had calmed down, and started to think:

Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $5 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The woman went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

'Are you asleep, son?' She asked.

'No Mummy, I'm awake,' replied the boy.

'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the woman. 'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $5 you asked for.'

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you Mummy!' he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.

The woman saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.

The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his mother.

'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the mother grumbled.

'Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied.

'Mummy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.'

The mother was crushed. She put her arms around her little son, and she begged for his forgiveness.

It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through

our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $20 worth of your time with someone you love.

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours. But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

Please don't break this even if you only send it to one person.

BURNT BISCUIT STORY

2010-01-30T22:54:00.000-08:00

When I was a kid, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work.
*On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that
biscuit and eat every bite!

When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I'll never forget what he said: "Honey, I love burned biscuits."

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, "Your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides - a little burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!"

Life is full of imperfect things.....and imperfect people. I'm not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else. But what I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each others faults - and choosing to celebrate each others differences - is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.

And that's my prayer for you today. That you will learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your life and lay them at the feet of God. Because in the end, He's the only One who will be able to give you a relationship where a burnt biscuit isn't a deal-breaker!

We could extend this to any relationship. In fact, understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or brother-sister or friendship!

"Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket - keep it in your own."

So Please pass me a biscuit, and yes, the burnt one will do just
fine.!.!.!.! And PLEASE pass this along to someone who has enriched your life... I just did!*

Smiles!!!

SHREESH - What effect it has on me

2009-08-02T10:23:00.000-07:00

I found a cool site which gives you a analysis as to what effect your name has on your persnality. Its cool and good. but i doubt about the accuracy of these but still its good to read what the name gives me. So this is what the name Shreesh gives me. Those who want to check their own can go to this link.

Your first name of Shreesh creates individuality, independence, self-confidence, initiative, and an inclination to physical activity.

You are not inclined to merge your opinions and viewpoints with others, to accept compromise, or to work in a subservient position against your will.

Your expression is invariably quite direct and candid.

Others find it difficult to accept your domineering and, at times, argumentative manner.

The name Shreesh creates the urge to be creative and original, we emphasize that it causes a blunt expression that alienates others.

This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses through tension or accidents to the head.
The above is a brief analysis and assessment of the first name only. We urge you to consider the vital influence of both your first name and surname - which combine to create the overall mental, physical, and financial conditions in your life. It is a vitally important that you get a complete name analysis and assessment of your first and last names combined in a detailed Name Report

Beautiful story -

2009-07-12T00:33:00.000-07:00

MAY and June months have been the months of most ups n downs for me in 2009 so far. My ulcerative colitis recently got worse but now iam healing for the better i believe. Still the oain is much and it seems that the pain has made me a more emotional person than what iam. My tears thershold seems to have reduced.Or may be these stories are just that beautiful. I was reading them ona buddist site and shared the link with my friends some of them were like no ..we dont want to read buddism. So iam just sharing the stories that i liked the most on that page.

A MIRACLE OF $1.10 (claimed to be a true story)
Tess was a precocious eight year old when she heard her Mom and Dad talking about her little brother, Andrew. All she knew was that he was very sick and they were completely out of money. They were moving to an apartment complex next month because Daddy didn't have the money for the doctor bills and our house. Only a very costly surgery could save him now and it was looking like there was no-one to loan them the money. She heard Daddy say to her tearful Mother with whispered desperation, "Only a miracle can save him now."
Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly jar from its hiding place in the closet. She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three times, even. The total had to be exactly perfect. No chance here for mistakes. Carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way 6 blocks to Rexall's Drug Store with the big red Indian Chief sign above the door. She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a scuffing noise. Nothing. She cleared her throat with the most disgusting sound she could muster. No good.
Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. That did it!
"And what do you want?" the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. "I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen in ages," he said without waiting for a reply to his question.
"Well, I want to talk to you about my brother," Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. "He's really, really sick... and I want to buy a miracle."
"I beg your pardon?" said the pharmacist.
"His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?"
"We don't sell miracles here, little girl. I'm sorry but I can't help you," the pharmacist said, softening a little. "Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn't enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs."
The pharmacist's brother was a well dressed man. He stooped down and asked the little girl, "What kind of a miracle does you brother need?"
"I don't know," Tess replied with her eyes welling up. "I just know he's really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can't pay for it, so I want to use my money."
"How much do you have?" asked the man from Chicago. "One dollar and eleven cents," Tess answered barely audibly. "And it's all the money I have, but I can get some more if I need to.
"Well, what a coincidence," smiled the man. "A dollar and eleven cents - the exact price of a miracle for little brothers." He took her money in one hand and with the other hand he grasped her mitten and said, "Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let's see if I have the kind of miracle you need."

That well dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, specialising in neuro-surgery. The operation was completed without charge and it wasn't long until Andrew was home again and doing well. Mom and Dad were happily talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place.
"That surgery," her Mom whispered. "was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost?"
Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost... one dollar and eleven cents ...... plus the faith of a little child.

A miracle is not the suspension of natural law, but the operation of a higher law......

SMILE !
She smiled at a sorrowful stranger.
The smile seemed to make him feel better.
He remembered past kindnesses of a friend
And wrote him a thank you letter.
The friend was so pleased with the thank you
That he left a large tip after lunch.
The waitress, surprised by the size of the tip,
Bet the whole thing on a hunch.
The next day she picked up her winnings,
And gave part to a man on the street.
The man on the street was grateful;
For two days he'd had nothing to eat.
After he finished his dinner,
He left for his small dingy room.
He didn't know at that moment that he might be facing his doom.
On the way he picked up a shivering puppy.
And took him home to get warm.
The puppy was very grateful
To be in out of the storm.
That night the house caught on fire.
The puppy barked the alarm.
He barked till he woke the whole household
And saved everybody from harm.
One of the boys that he rescued
Grew up to be President.
All this because of a simple smile
That hadn't cost a cent

The following is the original link to both the story and the poem

Determination

2009-06-12T11:08:00.000-07:00

One of my friend at some point of time had said that we are angels with one broken wing. To fly we need someone to hug us and we can fly together .The dacne in the following video somehow shows that. But thats just what i felt when i started to watch it. As i watched the graceful movments it felt that the broken wings were not really a problem. The video shows that determination can achive the most impossible seeming feats. HATS OFF TO THESE ARTISTS...

Cup or the choclate drink--what matters

2009-06-06T14:20:00.000-07:00

As is the theme of the blog iam again sharing a rood read with my readers. here it goes.

A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were talking at a reunion and decided to go visit their old university professor, now retired.
During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives.
Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and an assortment of cups - porcelain, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the hot chocolate.
When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor said: "Notice that all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.
The cup that you're drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.
What all of you really wanted was hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other's cups.
Now consider this: Life is the hot chocolate; your job, money and position in society are the cups.
They are just tools to hold and contain life.
The cup you have does not define, nor change the quality of life you have.
Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate God has provided us. God makes the hot chocolate, man chooses the cups. The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything that they have.

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. And enjoy your hot chocolate.

So ..iam off to try and discover what are the cups which distract my attention from the hot choclate.

What Kind of Soul I Have

2009-05-02T11:10:00.000-07:00

Some quizzes and games on facebook are really cool.I wasn't must comfortable initially but i guess iam warming up to it. So this one is called what kind of soul iam. iam just going to publish what it has to say.
Your Result: Crystalline
You have come out with the Crystalline answer for your soul. Crystalline beings are very reflective. They take a very long time to grow and change but when they do, you can't change them back... it is 'set in stone' so to speak. A crystalline person has an easier time giving than taking. When they do receive something, a debt is naturally implied in their minds whether or not it is expected. This is because of a deep sensitivity to people and objects. Crystalline folks are extremely absorbent of all kinds of energy. They would be wise to trust their instinct when it comes to people and objects in their lives. If it isn't for you, you know.. neutralize, energize, and release. That is the natural flow for crystalline souls.. you must learn about your natural abilities and use them for healing in your life

Indian brain....

2009-04-29T10:58:00.000-07:00

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is not a story but a true incident that happened in USA.*
An Indian man walked into a bank in New York City one day and asked for
the loan officer.

He told the loan officer that he was going to India on business for two
weeks and needed to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of
security for the loan. The Indian man handed
over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the
bank. He produced the title and everything
checked out.

The loan officer agreed to accept the car as collateral for the loan.

The bank's president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the
Indian for using a $250,000 Ferrari as
collateral against a $5,000 loan.
An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank's
underground garage and parked it there.

Two weeks later, the Indian returned, repaid the $5,000 and the
interest, which came to $15.41.

The loan officer said, "Sir, we are very happy to have had your
business, and this transaction has worked out very
nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked
you out and found that you are a multi
millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow
"$5,000"

The Indian replied: "Where else in New York City can I park my car for
two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return'"

Ah, the brain of the Indian... This is why India is shining . . .

MIRACLES ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!!!!

2009-04-26T12:55:00.000-07:00

I found a very good article as i was surfing some pages. This is the he original link to it . and this is the article. It talks about creating miracals in our lives.

You have a responsibility to create miracles in your own life. The responsibility lies on your shoulders. You can’t blame anyone else, and you can’t look outside of yourself for someone else to create the miracles for you. In this article, I’m going to break down the word “Miracle”, because each of you have a responsibility. As you know, my Why is to impact others and change the world one heart at a time. As you read this today, my goal is for you to take responsibility and realize that you have the innate ability to create miracles. So let’s get started!

The letter “M” means Momentum, which is created by you. You must create Momentum in your life for yourself, for your Why, for your family, for your success, for your ﬁnances, for your health...YOU create Momentum! No one else will do it for you. You aren’t a surfer waiting for the next wave to come in. You and only you must create your own Momentum to drive you toward creating your Miracle!

The letter “I” stands for Incentive. You must have something inciting you to action...your ultimate “Why”. Why are you doing what you are doing? Why do you want to begin that business? An Incentive builds the foundation that keeps you focused on your Miracle. No doubt about it! But again, it is your responsibility to determine what your incentive is and how it will drive you toward your Miracle.

The letter “R” stands for Revelation. As you read this today, get a Revelation! It’s your responsibility...no one else’s. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you came from, how much money you have...get a Revelation. YOU can and will create Miracles!

The letter “A” stands for Action. I know you’ve heard this before, but read this today, print it out and decide that you are going to take Action to create Miracles. Take the Action that you know that you need to take to create your Miracle.

The letter “C” stands for Commitment. Finally...once and for all...dive right into it...get Committed to your Miracle! It’s your responsibility. Inside you is a reason for why you are here...
your Miracle...so Commit to it. Go for it!

The letter “L” stands for Love. You must Love what you do. You must Love the Miracle that you are focused on creating. If your Miracle is all about money...you will fail! Your Miracle cannot be based on money. Your Miracle must be based on what you can do to impact the
world, which will produce everlasting results. You will produce true Miracles! Don’t let anyone else tell you what you must do for money. Love what you do and create your own Miracles.

The letter “E” stands for Energy. Your gonna need Energy to create your Miracle. There’s no such thing as it “falling in your lap”, “luck” or “winning the lotto” in a success mindset. It takes hard work! You need the Energy to take those daily action steps to create your Miracle. It is your responsibility to maintain your Energy to create your Miracle.

A Teaching Story - Good Fable

2009-04-13T23:54:00.000-07:00

Buddha, one day, was in deep thought about the worldly activities and the
ways of instilling goodness in human beings.
One of his disciples approached him and said humbly "Oh my teacher ! While
you are so much concerned about the world and others, why don't you look in to the welfare and needs of your own disciples also."
Buddha: "OK.. Tell me how I can help you"
Disciple: "Master! My attire is worn out and is beyond the decency to wear
the same. Can I get a new one, please?"
Buddha found the robe indeed was in a bad condition and needed replacement.
He asked the store keeper to give the disciple a new robe to wear on. The
disciple thanked Buddha and retired to his room.

A while later, he went to his disciple's place and asked him "Is your new attire comfortable? Do you need anything more?"
Disciple: "Thank you my Master. The attire is indeed very comfortable. I
need nothing more"
Buddha: "Having got the new one, what did you do with your old attire?"
Disciple: "I am using it as my bed spread"
Buddha: "Then.. hope you have disposed off your old bed spread"
Disciple: " No.. no.. master. I am using my old bedspread as my window
curtain"
Buddha: " What about your old Curtain?"
Disciple: "Being used to handle hot utensils in the kitchen"
Buddha: "Oh.. I see.. Can you tell me what did they do with the old cloth
they used in Kitchen"
Disciple: "They are being used to wash the floor."
Buddha:" Then, the old rug being used to wash the floor...?"
Disciple: "Master, since they were torn off so much, we could not find any
better use, but to use as a twig in the oil lamp, which is right now lit in
your study room...."

Buddha smiled in contentment and left for his room.

12. When you meet someone new, you give them a link to your twitter account instead of your phone number/email address.
13. When asked how much time you spend on social media sites each day, you take the actual time spent and divide it by 3…so if you spend 6 hours on it, you tell others it was only 2.
14. You skip a meal in order to spend more uninterrupted time on your favorite social network.

22. You are reading this blog post and nodding your head in agreement.
23. After nodding your head, you decide you are indeed addicted to social media and tweet this post!

Difference between Focusing on Problems and Focusing on Solutions

2009-04-02T10:53:00.000-07:00

Case 1
When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (ink won't flow down to the writing surface). To solve this problem, it took them one decade and $12 million. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C.
And what did the Russians do...?? They used a pencil.

Case 2
One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the case of the empty soapbox, which happened in one of Japan's biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soapbox that was empty. Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly! line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soapbox went through the assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soapboxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent a whoopee amount to do so.
But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem, he did not get into complications of X-rays, etc., but instead came out with another solution. He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched
the fan on, and as each soapbox passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line.

Moral : Always look for simple solutions.
Devise the simplest possible solution that solves the problems
Always Focus on solutions & not on problems
So the end of the day the thing that really matters is HOW ONE LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM, mere perceptions can solve the tough problems.

A good Fable

2009-03-27T23:02:00.000-07:00

A saint asked his disciples, 'Why do we shout in anger? Why do people shout at each other when they are upset?'

Disciples thought for a while, one of them said, 'Because we lose our calm, we shout for that.'

'But, why to shout when the other person is just next to you?' asked the saint. 'Isn't it possible to speak to him or her with a soft voice?

Why do you shout at a person when you're angry?'
Disciples gave some other answers but none satisfied the saint.

Finally he explained, 'When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other through that great distance.'

Then the saint asked, 'What happens when two people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softly, why? Because their hearts are very close. The distance between them is very small...'

The saint continued, 'When they love each other even more, what happens? They do not speak, only whisper and they get even closer to each other in their love. Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that's all. That is how close two people are when they love each other.'

MORAL: When you argue do not let your hearts get distant, do not say words that distance each other more, else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.

WHAT TRULY MATTERS

2009-03-06T07:51:00.000-08:00

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read the e-mail straight through, and you'll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America Contest.

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.

6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. They are not second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz.. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.

2.. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?

The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are NOT the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones who care.

Emotional Blocks-insights

2009-01-25T12:04:00.000-08:00

We all accept the truisms that emotions affect the body, and bodily conditions are reflected in emotions. But these do not tell us how or why. Today we believe that the emotional sources lie in the brain, nerves and biochemical substances these emit. We may be surprised to learn newer research on the genes and the electromagnetic mind-field shows us a much broader understanding of the body-emotions relationship. Here are fresh insights into why certain alternative medical treatments work with some people and some diseases while not with others.

What is this illusive power we call emotions?
Let's peel the emotional onion from the microscopic to the macroscopic to find out. Emotion is aroused energy that takes a direction. Emotional energy is released whenever there is action. It motivates us. When the emotion is strong and flowing there is great physical energy. And when emotional energy is blocked weakness results. There are researches indicating that the human energy field extensively to conclude it is both the atomic and the mystical source of life. The field is emotionally directed to protect and enrich our lives. Emotions give instructions to all biological structures and direct feelings and thought about reality -- both material and mystical. On the biological level emotional instruction goes to tissues, organs and systems. Emotions can be viewed as a computer programmer of the field that directs information to all aspects of the mind and body. Depending on the focuses and the blocks there will be greater or lesser effects, and because each person builds his emotional program from what has importance for him or her, each person will create somewhat different instructions.
The primary level of emotional instructions occurs at the tissue level in the genes of the cells. Such instruction provides information to cells about living, growing, multiplying and dying. Candace Pert's pioneering research (reported in her book Molecules of Emotion ) concludes that genes have memories and emotions. These are basic memories of cellular injuries, illnesses and conditions. Emotions are felt as good or bad. The energy response of genes is to give on or off instructions to the cells. They make things happen or they don't.

For example: Have you ever had a bad day when your tissues felt swollen, exhausted and painful? You wanted to escape to the bed. Or you may have awakened with a feeling of radiant electrified cells like when you were a healthy teenager and could conquer the world. Actually all injury and long term physical problems have blocks in the flow of emotional energy at the tissue level both with or without conscious awareness.

For tissue illness "body work" techniques are the most effective because these quickly feed the low frequency magnetic vibrations required for cellular healing. The rule is to stimulate all sensory receptors with drum beats and deep sounds, with red and orange colors, with energy nourishment from massage, touching, and joint manipulation and with muscular exercises and acupuncture. Improvements on the tissue level occur quickly showing healthier skin, increased movement and vitality. Fortunately these tissue changes resonate to a higher level to improve organ systems function.

The next level of emotional organization subjected to even more blocks than the tissue level is the brain with its primary control of systems and organs. Disruption of flow causes cardiac, breathing, digestive and urinary malfunction. Likewise this level sends more detailed instructions to heighten or override the genes. Here emotional energies are more complex than in tissues, with awareness of the basic emotions of love, fear and anger and elaboration of anxiety, hate and depression. These energy states protect the physical body and self from real and imagined threats. Here the memories of this life's experience are stored and colored by the belief systems of the family and culture. Emotional patterns become programmed for each person. At this level the techniques to remove emotional blocks must be more complex involving active patient participation. Neurolinguistic programming; meditation; group therapy; guided imagery; expressive art, music, drama, writing and story telling and exercise systems underpinned with concepts and philosophies such as tai chi and chi gong are excellent.

At the highest levels of consciousness, emotional blocks are frequently the most stubborn and persistent. This twilight area of consciousness, the mind, stores all past life memories as well as those of this life where "altered states" occur during major trauma. These memories not available to everyday recall are freed by returning to altered states. The emotions here are intense and the instructions overshadow those of the brain or tissue levels. We have discovered that blocks with unresolved emotional problems at this spiritual, mystical level are directly associated with major wasting diseases such as: ALS, multiple sclerosis and cancer. These seem to be impossible to change without major new insight and drastic changes in the person's relationship to his or her world. To uncover such hidden blocks requires that the person move into deep mystical states of consciousness. Successful techniques are hypnosis; free association; spiritual experiences from prayer, art, music and poetry; mystic and shamanistic rituals and dedicated meditation.

Although I have described blockage of energy flow on three levels of emotional instruction each level in itself is incomplete. The tissue level is too small and localized. The neurological level is too materially focused, and the mind-field level is too big -- too cosmic. The following example demonstrates the profound interrelationships of these emotional instructions.

A man has a hideous traumatic experience in multiple collisions. His tissue is injured, and he retains strong and emotional tissue memories of the shock. His genes issue instructions to reestablish magnetic energy on the cellular level. Simultaneously his five senses alert his brain about the circumstances of the collision -- what, why, and who caused or fed into the mishaps. First, emotional energy reflexively stimulates physiological systems to handle the trauma. If the elaborate information the brain receives ties into unresolved traumatic childhood memories, the emotional instruction will be intensified and or the resulting blockages more obstinate.The mind first receives accurate information about the collision directly through the energy field. Almost simultaneously the mind gets additional but often inaccurate information colored by the emotional programs of the brain and the field of the cells. Remember that the mind field location is where memory of all past lifehoods is stored. Here also are accumulated the memories of violent experiences from this life that were so devastating that the person was thrust into an altered state. If the emotions on both levels, brain and mind, body self and soul self, have not been resolved and there is a perceived common threat from the trauma the emotional energy will be exponentially intense and the body hyper activated. In fact the emotions may be so great that responses become disorganized with paralysis and psychological disorientation.

This above example emphasizes the complicated emotional continuum that spawns instructions and create blocks so that techniques from the tissue, brain and mind levels may be required for total healing. With simple problems a simple technique may suffice.

To summarize, regardless of where emotional disturbances occur the entire organism suffers. Blocks cause decreased or anti-coherent energy flow with stress to psychic and physical functions. Because our mission as deksha giver is to restore perfect energy flow so that the body can heal itself we should select the most direct treatments for the paramount energy blocks and shift treatments when each level is improved.

ANOTHER GOOD MAIL FROM THE ONENESS CIRCLE ..must thank mr jeet sharma for it.

Chomping figured out

2009-01-14T07:42:00.000-08:00

So I figured out why I was so hungry yesterday. It was my medicine; Prednisolone which is a corticosteroid which is given for ulcerative colitis has an effect of making people hungry. There for it’s also given to people undergoing chemotherapy for cancer for making them hungry. So it was just simple organic stuff. But I got all worried about it thought about it and blogged about it. I got a full hour long bashing from people for being a kind of irresponsible, and see what I was avoiding to see in myself and feeding my body instead, what was my inner void etc.
Only two people had a different perspective one said it’s ok to make some mistake sometime and it was only another front from Texas who said not to go in this kind of thing and be rational and look for practical reason. And that it was what it turned out to be. But there is more to it than this.
First how mind goes in judgmental spin about people, situations and our own self. Secondly conditioned way of seeing things, we see only in manner we think is right. I got out of that think quickly as I got a sound grounded advice from my friend in Texas. Being grounded means, being real and not going in spin or the regular brain circuits which fire automatically at any kind of trigger.

Chomping Away

2009-01-13T07:16:00.000-08:00

This is all I can say my day has been, as I look back on today. I love eating but I am not too much of a foodie, and for a few days I am already eating a bit less, however today I have been feeling hungrier. I started off my day with my black tea and biscuits, followed in the day with my regular meal of Sabzi ,Rotis ,plain dal ,mutter rice and butter milk. And as the day progressed I ended up eating 3 cupcakes one packet of plain salted lays chips, few khari puff’s half a banana one boiled egg half packet of light but tasty kurkure snacks and few bites of jagerry cheekkie. But even after all of this as I went out to shop for some stuff mom told me to get I was thinking of just food. It was like I was obsessed. Something is surely wrong. I am not this kinda person who would binge on so much in a day. As I couldn’t control myself I finally ended up eating a masala pav in local haldiram’s. And as I am writing this away I am again getting hungry. This is seriously weird. Why does one get so hungry suddenly?

Bhagwan Answers-.On the nature of the mind

2009-01-07T22:03:00.000-08:00

Dear Readers, This is the another part of the series of answers which the founder of oneness university shri bhagwan gave. This one pertains to the nature of the mind.
The nature of mind is to find fault with others, judge, blame, and label others due to preconditioned perception. If the perception is negative then the mind keeps on commenting, 'He is bad, she nags, he does not understand me, she is too suspicious, they do not love me, I have no respect in the family, everybody uses me', and so on. Everything would be colored, hence you would continue to blame others and hence we develop dislike. Dislike slowly turns into hatred which spoils relationship. Because of this broken relationship, however good the others are we are not able to 'see' the truth.

Mind generates logic due to fear but heart emanates truth. Fear is manifesting as hatred, jealousy, anger, and violence in families and society. Stress comes not because of physical work but from negative approach. We can see truth only when we love others. Logic destroys love. It is not possible to love after you have judged. Hence we suffer.

Unless we learn the art of 'seeing' with internal integrity, we will not be able to see the truth and discover love. If we can love only then we can forgive and seek forgiveness. One should develop extreme patience to maintain love and peace in the relationship.

God's grace flows naturally to those whose relations are set right, particularly with the parents.

Shri Bhagwan Answers on Enlightinment

2008-12-25T08:46:00.000-08:00

Question: What is the real meaning of Enlightenment?
Sri Kalki: See, to be enlightened is not to feel separate from the other.You are there. You feel you are separate from all these people. Suppose you are to become enlightened, you will say you only are the other. If you feel that way, where can there be conflict? There can only be love. Isn 't it? That's all there is to it. And always there is happiness also. A happy person cannot trouble others. An unhappy person will be pinching other. Will give pain to others. After Enlightenment nobody gives trouble to another. Everybody is happy. You will find in this village, all people gathering, singing and dancing. All kinds. Caste is not a problem. Once you are Enlightened there is no caste. The Harijan, the Bramhin, all will be singing and dancing. Everything goes off.
The caste is gone. Muslims dancing with Hindus - you can see it in this village. Everything has happened because they are in a different state. They are all helping. You don't find street fights. Completely transformed. And we had taken up this place because it was a horrible place. That's where we have proved it. Total transformation.

Every month we are having a program. Atleast 500 people come for Enlightenment from the local villages. People are standing in a queue, because we cannot take more than that. It is spreading very fast. Imagine the whole of India Enlightened. Then, what happens to all the problems that we are talking about? There is a coolie in this village who is Enlightened. Now, every rich man wants her to come their house and perform Kalasha Pooja in their house. It's a pride to invite her to their house now. All social dynamics have changed.

How come people are getting transformed so suddenly? Because this does not take much time. Yesterday you were very ordinary. Today you are transformed. Just 24 hours. And it's irreversible and permanent. So what more can somebody ask for? Poor people in villages are dancing in joy and they call their dance "The dance of Freedom". Even the richest man in Karnataka cannot have 1/1000th of their joy. And ofcourse along with this joy you will also become prosperous. The mind is so clear. Whatever they touch, it is successful.

Question: What are the means to become happy?
Sri Kalki: To me happiness is when you help others. But helping others is not so easy. When I do this Neuro-Biologial transformation, you naturally feel like helping others. And as you help others you become happy. You can try and see. When you help you become happy. But you must be naturally helping others, which is a state of mind.

Question: How is it going to be in the next 10 years?

Sri Kalki: I am producing Enlightened people by the hundreds everyday. Soon its going to be an explosion. I will say this is the last phase of man. It is like - Man has been building a house for so many thousands of years now. And 2004 to 2012 is the grahapravesham. Man has reached the final stage after all these years of struggle. You will see a very different world, which you cannot even imagine now and it will happen very fast. Very very fast.

Timeless Insights – Relationships

2008-12-18T07:55:00.000-08:00

The followling is the mail i got as a part of Teachings of shri Amma n Bhagwan founders of Oneness university.It s really worth a read and insights here can powerfully alter people's lives in all dimensions.I request you to please go through it very carefully.And i pray that those who read it should be blessed by beloved Amma n Bhagwan.

Miracles are natural occurrences in everybody's life. They are part of the divine scheme. Miracles are all the time happening in your life; sometimes sought but very often unsought. A failure is recognizing grace and channelizing it when required could very often be traced to improper relationships. All problems in relationships could basically be traced to hurt; you either hurt or get hurt. It is the need to control or possess people, like you would be a piece of furniture that leads to mutual pain.

The resultant discord in relationships manifests itself in the external world as problems with health, finance, career, even lack of spiritual growth. This is because, "the external world is essentially the reflection of the internal world". That is why each one of you comes across custom-made life situations meant especially for you. When you discover love in relationships, forgive and seek forgiveness from those you have hurt, your heart flowers and you begin to experience grace. Greater your love, greater would be the grace that you would witness in your own life.

[1]All love could only begin with love for oneself. I have always maintained that you could do only to others what you do unto yourself. Contemplate on it and you would discover that the way you relate to yourself internally is exactly the way you relate to others. If you condemned and criticized yourself for every thought, word or deed of yours, you would certainly do the same to the others also. If you were obsessed and disturbed with your own shortcomings, you would trouble others as well about their shortcomings too. When you stop warring with yourself and accept yourself as you are, you are in love with yourself. You have made peace within and hence with the world. Remember, "to love your neighbour, you need to love yourself first".

[2]Next to relationship with oneself, is one's relationship with one's parents. Your relationship with your parents forms the mould in which you would experience all the other relationships in life, including God. Let us say, you are hurt with your father since you hate his domineering attitude, you would certainly come across many such people who to you, reflect your father. They could be your friend, spouse or your superior. You would resent authority wherever you come across it and hence damage yourself. If you were hurt with your mother because you felt she preferred your sister to you; remember this hurt would be carried through life colouring every other relationship with your mother making you feel unloved. A troubled relationship with your mother would mean unnecessary health problems and obstacles in your path to achievement and with your father would mean financial losses. If you would somehow work out your relationship with them, get over your hurts and seek their forgiveness, a break through is round the corner. Seek the blessings of your parents with gratitude and grace would flow through them to you.
[3] The basic problem in relationship with one's spouse is the constant endeavour to understand and to change the other. All the time you are analyzing your partner. Innumerable factors, in fact the whole universe is acting upon your partner creating him or her from moment to moment. When somebody is changing all the time, how could you possibly understand? Any effort to understand is futile. By the time you understand they would have changed. You have tried so many ways to change your spouse – by remaining silent, by fighting back, by advising, by showing love and care, by staying away. But sadly the expected change very often does not happen. Trying to change your spouse you are unconsciously implying that he or she is not good enough to be loved. This hurts and in turn leads to a distance in relationships. Trying to change your spouse is like going to the same movie for 365 days, expecting that the climax would change someday. If the key to your happiness lies in the change you would like to see in others, they you have a very difficult if not an impossible price to pay.. The door to happiness that you are trying to open through the transformation of your spouse is but a mirage. All transformation is a happening, life or grace has to do it. When you accept and experience your spouse, as she or he is, that is the beginning to love.
[4] Being a parent is one of the most difficult roles to play. Much of humanity is a victim to the lovelessness of their own parents. Since it is very difficult to show love if one has not received it, you as parents do not know what is to love your child. Being possessive and trying to fulfil your own unfulfilled needs through your child is not love. Love is not merely fulfilling their requirements.

A child needs much more than care. It needs to experience your attention, friendship and acceptance that is unconditional. You need to be awake to the change occurring in your child and cope with it through understanding. No child is damaged by the firmness its parents holds for it. The best way to relate to your is sometimes to become a child yourself.
One who has experienced love in his or her childhood naturally grows into a loving partner or friend, an understanding parent and very often a successful individual. A happy human being is also a spiritual human being.

Contemplative Questions:

Here is a set of questions that would provoke you and put you through some soul searching. They are not about religion nor about ethics. They are merely about you.

They are not meant to serve as solutions nor are they meant to lead you anywhere. These questions are meant to serve as tools to discovering yourself.

1. How similar are you to the person who most abhor? What in them do you dislike? Do you fear you have that in you too?

2. Could you boast of a miracle or something totally surprising and pleasant landing out of the blue in your life? How does the memory of it affect you?

3. Is there someone you have hurt and have not contemplated seeking forgiveness? Why?

4. Can you correlate your financial loses and obstacles on the path to success to your relationships with your parents?

5. How would you categorize your relationship with your partner – thrilling, manageable, impossible?

6. What are you trying to change in your partner?

7. Given that your child is going to learn the art of relating from you. What kind of an example are you setting?

Indian Red Tape

2008-12-11T08:16:00.000-08:00

In the wake of recent bomb blasts & terrorist attack in mumbai there are series of emails being circulated which echos the sentiment of "enough is enough". Iam posting one of them.Having gone through some experiences in the last few months its really most appropriate title.This series of "caught in the great inidan red tape" i shall be posting more of this soon. But for now this forward I recieved very much echos my sentiments too.
1. Do not worry about those who have come thru boats...
Our forces can easily defeat them.
WORRY about those who have come thru votes....
Those are our REAL ENEMIES.

2. What a shame and disgrace to every citizen of India
that the elite NSG Force was transported into ordinary BEST
buses, whereas our cricketers are transported into state of
the art luxury buses, these Jawans lay down their lives to
protect every Indian and these cricketers get paid even if
they lose a match, we worship these cricketers and forget
the martyrdom of these brave Jawans.
The Jawans should be paid the salaries of the cricketers
and the cricketers should be paid the salaries of the
Jawans.

3. An ace shooter shoots and gets gold medal, govt
gives 1cr, another shooter dies while shooting terrorist,
govt gives 5 lakh.
WHO DESERVES MORE? Huh.. This is our India....

Please be a patriot and forward this to everyone u know.

Last whole month has been crazy and what iam going through is quite chaotic.I have been caught up in polar opposite feelings right in the same moment.My life My mind are chaotic and Iam racing. I feel sad depressed frustrated angry ,on myself and those around me ..and yet at the same time ..there seems to be some stream of calmness a sense of acceptance n some observer of sorts who just smiles in fun at the chaos is also present. Most of the time outside I seem calm composed n silent but inside there is a stream of discontent that flows. So I feel caught up in what is the truth. I know that Both the things are real But some part of me knows ..although its real it does not necessary mean its the truth. So iam experiencing the chaos along with calmness. I do know that iam being very abstract,someone may feel iam being vague ..but no iam not vague ..iam being abstract,coz thats what this thing feels like and I do not have the skill as of now to put it simply.so i shall not make any further attempt.
As iam working with the healing cards...this is going to be my focus for the week to come.I know its going to help.

HEALING RELATIONSHIPS

2008-11-06T21:07:00.000-08:00

Hello People,I have recently recieved a mail which has the quoted message of one of the dasaji (monk) of the oneness university.Iam going to just quote the whole thing here. The reason i liked it is,whatever is written in the mail has not only been a presonal realisation supported by personal experience.This is actully the way that I have been not only able to help myself but also many many others who have approached for help to me for their relationship problems.This is the pivotal point of my way of counselling the people.That is what is my focus whenever I try to counsel someone.And it takes a certain amount of absoloute honesty and courage to be able to see ourself.So many times or rather i say 99% times people have faced problem in relationship,or work, it's the shadow side of ourselves of being a human that rules us and our behaviour,and thus it takes humbleness ,honestly and courage to face our ugliness and accept it.But as soon as we do it, there happens a huge amount of healing and we can actually feel a shift of paradigm in terms of energy and perception.This honest self enquiry not only heals but also empowers us. As we shift the focus from outer (from whats out there troubling me ) to inner (that what inside of myself attracted this to me,what can i do to myself in order to heal this),we are not only able to seal off the energy leakeage but taking personal responsibility empowers us to change a lot of things in life. afterall responsibility means ..RESPONSE Ability ..we are given the ABILITY to RESPOND ..(I DONT MEAN ..REACT .I MEAN RESPOND..there is difference between the two)
Ok now that i have typed a lot of gyan which may seem out of context so i better quote the mail ..once you read what's in the mail and re-read what's written above it may make a lot more sense. I hope it helps ..not just the readers but also myself. Afterall mastering someting does require practice and reminding.
this is the mail.

How to Heal Relationship Problems : By-Krishnaraj Dasaji

When having relationship problems, you need to actually start opening up to yourself, because there is a very major part of ourselves that we're not aware of. What we have failed to see about ourselves is a major portion of our lives, and that has to be unveiled and has to experienced.
People also must know that they're not being subjected to a punishment or some kind of mental torture. It is more like a healing process to help them. This knowledge can help you to actually experience the whole process without resisting or fighting it.
Every time you go through a relationship problem, you actually get to see more of yourself. It's not that you're getting to see something about the other person, you're only getting to see that side of you that is hurt, that which wants love, which wants attention, which cannot forgive, which's not accepted, which feels rejected.
It is these things that you are getting to see about yourself when going through a relationship problem. It is something that you have to process through, otherwise how long can this be kept swept under the carpet--how long can this be suppressed? You have to let Divine Grace put you through this. Please know full well that you are not being judged or condemned by the Divine when you're being put through such a process. You are only being helped. This is a healing process to help you grow in relationship with the Divine, and grow in love and joy. As you start accepting all this within yourself, you are truly finally accepting the other person also. All of us tend to think that talking with the other person, or reasoning with them, or applying some principle is going to help us. That is not the truth. You can only know and accept the resistance you have to that relationship.

When you say you have a relationship problem, please understand that you are not having a problem with the relationship or the other person; you are only having a problem within yourself. You are only having a problem accepting all this reality about yourself--that you may be a person who craves attention, who has still not forgiven, who feels guilty about your past, or who is unable to stop hating someone, etc.
The other person is immaterial, and who he or she is isn't what is making you uncomfortable. How you experience him or her within you is the cause of your relationship problem. And that is what has to be experienced. So in every crisis you are only getting to see more of yourself. It has nothing to do with the other person.As you start facing the truth of your own resistance; it starts the melting of it under the heat of your awareness.

Updates n info on Bovis scale

2008-10-16T20:36:00.000-07:00

Hello ,
It's been long time since i last blogged.Things have been going on with real speed,and I, as usual,have been doing a lot than what i should handle.The result is that ,Iam down for 2 days with huge pain which rendered me not able to stand or walk without considrable amount of pain and discomfort. When i checked on the bovis scale Iam still balanced at 8 K on the comso telliric channel.But my centrifugal and centripital energies were low..Although low, still balanced at 6500.Cellular harmoney energy, was again,at a cut off level of 6500. The level of 6500 is the level of being very tired. So i need to rest right from cellular level.Just body rest is not sufficient.I kept wondering what cellular level rest means, and how i could have it.And I finally discovered, that it means deep level of healing rest one can have in deep meditation or hypnosis; as well as healing and getting rid of the memory of trauma at the cellular level.This is what is ment by childhood healing using the symbol of HSZSN and ZONAR(in reiki) in combination and sending it to ourselves as children;which if done in deep meditation affects the cells too. Zonar symbol is afterall useful in cellular level healing too.
As i was reffering to the readings above,about different energies,not many people understood what I was talking about, so I posted some things about the bovis-meter scale on a community "IAM A REIKI HEALER" on orkut. That post is a compilaton from different sites and one or two blogs.In order to make clear what I ment above Iam posting the same thing here as well.I hope it helps readers understand energitics on a certain calibrated level.
HERE IT GOES:---

Info
With the use of the lecher antenna, the intensity of rays of a place, plant, or object can be measured. One of the scales that can be used to have an idea of "how much" or "how high" is the vibration is the BOVIS Scale or Bio meter developed by the Frenchman André BOVIS.
Bovis Scale is used for identification of stresses from the distance Coupled with Lecher Antenna. Each movements of Antenna on the scale with reference to the mass on the drawings can give us enough knowledge about positive and negative features of the site, without actually visiting the site.
The BOVIS Scale correlates measurable energy emanations from matter, such as a landscape, geological fault, body of water, or underground stream, according to whether it is beneficial or detrimental to human health.
Scientists have discovered a direct correlation between the Bovis scale and the direction of spin displayed by an atom or molecule. Atoms registering in the negative Bovis range will spin to the right, or clockwise. Atoms in the positive Bovis range spin, to the left, or counterclockwise. Examples found in nature of this spin properly include cellular DNA, which is a left-turning spiral: in contrast, cancer cells are in a right-turning spiral.
The Bovis Scale quantifies or measures how positively or negatively charged a substance is. For living organisms, the key reference point on the scale is found at 6,500 Bovis energy units
Readings
READINGS BETWEEN: 0 to 6,500 BOVIS:
The charge is in the NEGATIVE range, or life-detracting

READINGS ABOVE 6,500 BOVIS:
The energy gradually becomes more POSITIVE, or life-enhancing

DESIRED MINIMAL ENERGY LEVEL FOR HUMANS
Is found between 8,000 to 10,000 Bovis, or slightly positive
THE EARTH
Creates energy in the 7,000 to 18,000 range This energy is also referred to as "Biophotons", which are light particles invisible to our eyes. This positive energy is necessary to the maintenance on Earth
How to use a BOVIS Scale:
The Bovis Scale is very simple to use – follow the following method:
1] One method used to measure the quality of the rays in a place or object, is to make contact mentally, and then, formulating questions to the BOVIS unit. With the lecher antenna moving lengthwise along the base line, it is progressively moved along the scale until the antenna gives a dip to cross the line. The point at which the lecher antenna dips below to the scale is the point to be read.

[2] If no response is seen by the time the lecher antenna reaches the end of the scale at 10,000 BOVIS units, then return to the start, and count 11,000, 12,000, 13,000, 14,000 etc. and extrapolate to higher figures as required.

[3] For more accuracy and for extrapolation, the additional small scale can be used to suit the type of measurement. For example it can help to narrow down a reading to a more precise figure as well as being used as a multiplier.
One method used is to measure the quality of the rays in a place or, a large or small thing (the latter can be placed on the left hand side of the Biometer) One makes contact mentally and by use of the lecher antenna, formulates questions to the BOVIS unit, which results in a side to side movement of the lecher antenna over the zero base. The movement of the lecher antenna should be observed until the lecher antenna dips constantly to one specific point on the scale. The answer can then be read. Should the lecher antenna dips to a point beyond 10,000 BOVIS units, then by extrapolation and returning to the zero base, count 11,000, 12,000 etc.
Measurements-
At 8500-- Is person’s top, completely recharge.
At 7500-- Person in good health.
At 6500 --A tired person
At 6000 --Very tired person, it is final limit, and under this point you are sick.
Between 8500 and 9000 -- A man who is able to heal people using his hands.
Above 9000 ---It is not rare to verify that his has medium power.
Above 10 000 --- The good Cosmo -telluric place are often.
6500 BOVIS -- Human Being
6500 to 16000 BOVIS ----Chakras.
11000 BOVIS --------- Church Bell.
14000 BOVIS -------- Tibetan Temple.
1000000 BOVIS -------Swastika (Any Size)

These are just sample readings. The readings are taken by adjusting lecher antenna by moving visor on the calibrated scale of antenna to resonate with a particular wavelength.

I hope that the above information is helpful to those who have read the above posts.
In my next topic i shall try to post some of the readings observed in few of my reiki classes as well as readings i have observed and witnessed.

Why I blog irregular

2008-08-30T02:38:00.000-07:00

This is one question bothering me. I just don’t feel like expressing much. It’s been like this for nearly a year or so now. There was a time when I loved to write. It was such an important aspect of who I was. This included poetry too. I had poems springing up in my head at times like when I am eating or driving and for gods sakes even in sleep or dreams. I remember at least 3 times when I was actually asleep n something was going in my head that seemed like a dream and some poem just happened I had to make an effort to get up n take it down because I may very well forget it till the next time I wake up. 2-3 poems have been written at time like 2 am or so in the night. And writing for anything I would hardly leave a chance. But for the past whole year I feel I have gone numb of sorts. Not that I don’t react or don’t rhyme but I just don’t feel like putting it down. Initially I was always excited to show some poem at least to my mom and dad and friends. Slowly I stopped showing it to friends. Everyone used to say I was too philosophical. Now I object to that, I mean “hello” how much philosophic can a 9th grader be. Although it was way back but not everyone dares to read or listen to my poems even now. Later somehow although I wrote I never bothered to even show it to my mom. And for the year and a half I don’t even bother to write. Some sort of numbness has come inside me.

I got a huge fire recently from a friend of mine about not blogging, about the real serious stuff that I keep saying or teachings or my observations etc. Even I thought why have I become so lazy? But no it’s not really laziness its some kind of numbness that I feel inside. I don’t know what it is or why is it. Maybe it’s because my mom kind of discouraged being too emotional,(I always wrote when I feel too emotional. She loved my poems but said well it’s a sign of being over emotional. Reading and writing have been my passion for as long as I remember. And I never cared if anyone liked what I wrote I just used to force them to read. But now I don’t know why I feel that what’s the point when no one bothers? That raises another question; since when did I start caring or considering if OTHERS care or bother or not. And I have been like this for say like more than a year or so. I don’t know if this numbness has any remedy or not or how long will it last. I really hope I get over it soon and be able to start active blogging. And fulfill the reason which made me even create this blog.

hum..some time pas..what am i if i was a sense..

2008-08-20T09:21:00.000-07:00

You are the Sense of Sight

You are a very observant, detail oriented person.

You are able to take in a lot of information at once.

You often see things that other people never notice.

You have a good eye for design and aesthetics.

You love to be surrounded by beauty - natural or not.

When you imagine how something should look, you see it clearly in your mind.

Which of the Five Senses Are You?

No power for Unfinished tasks

2008-07-20T02:20:00.000-07:00

Well another long gap in blogging. But the fact is that I have nearly 3 blog posts half or more than half written and nearly 4 half written emails to be posted, and main reason for them to remain unfinished ( Besids my being a lil lazy n spoilt), is that we have been running low on power. We are having powercuts. Although initially they were on 3hrs duration..that itself made my timings for other things and net surfing different n difficuilt..Then they increased it by 45 mins. Now the newspaper reports that it shall be extended even more for n hour a day.And in addition to that,water supply is going to be restricted.How sicker can that get. Already my timings are distorted. hence really not finding serious time for some serious blogging. Lets see n hope that we get out of this crisis ..there is much to be written n told.till then seeya ...
In love n light

Shifted Energies

2008-05-29T12:24:00.000-07:00

SO the big lazy me is here again. Guilty of not blogging for quite some time now.
Apart from my exams which went ok and so so ; With as usual giving me taste of variety of things, Right from anxiety to elation and rapture to possession (I know it sounds absurd but only those who have spoken to me in that period would know what I am talking about);I got to see things on the spectrum ranging from one polarity to another. And no sooner my exams were over; I have had a rush of people here. And I was amazed at the stamina at with which I could talk.
TALK TALK TALK ..Thats all I did for nearly 9hrs or more constantly for 3 days. I spoke so much that my vocal chords actually could feel the fatigue. When I proudly told of this feat to a friend of mine on the chat, she was completely UN-IMPRESSED.
She was like "SO - Big deal you spoke, that’s what you always do" She has this belief that I always talk too much, whereas the fact is I have actually remained silent sparingly talking with my mom only when necessary and in practical MAUNA for days at a stretch. And my friend just didn't believe it.
However today has been quieter. And by evening i had that very typical sensation of strain on the crown chakra. So I went to Mr.Manjunath to check my energy levels with his Lecher Antenna.
What I found was completely opposite of what i was expecting. In so many months whenever I have had that strain on crown feeling, it’s usually the global and telluric energies that are affected and dripped. However, today my cosmic was little less than usual. Still strong than most general population (8100), my cosmic level hardly goes down below 8600 and is max times at full 9000 bovis units. And even more surprising was that my global and telluric energies were at full 9000 level. I wonder how did this happen. And whatever is the case I am surprised that even at 8000 cosmic I can feel strain of the head, whereas for max people they never go above 7 or max 7.5K.
However this too has its advantages. After many days i was doing lots of work and accomplished maximum things i had decided. This is a very typical feature of good telluric energies. I hope I remain balanced on all the 3 fronts.
A LOT has happened that can be enthusiastically blogged about; hopefully I shall be coming up with some posts pretty soon. However i still wonder what may have caused this shift?

The perfect reflection

2008-04-24T13:58:00.001-07:00

Ok to those who care to read my blog ,I know i havent written anyting original in weeks. The basic fact is, soo much goes on at the moment that I either can't write it all, or; iam so caught up in processing that i just don't feel like writing. However iam adding a video on this particular blog. This is something that is a part of what is going on inside me. A real struggle. A fact that is making me feel caught. This video is related to that only. The details about what iam really going through may come out after 15 may. Meanwhile i hope that the readers enjoy this small video clip.

Today,s recipie and Prayer for the day

2008-03-30T13:37:00.000-07:00

Every morning, take a full glass of gratitude

When getting to work, take one spoon of peace

Every hour, take one pill of patience, one cup of brotherhood and one glass of humanity.

When getting home, take one dose of love

When getting to bed,Sip clear conscience.

Do not give in into sadness or desperation for what you are going through today.

God knows how you feel......

God knows exactly and with perfection what is being allowed to happen to you in your life at this precise moment.

God's purpose for you is simply perfect.

He wants to show you things that only you can understand by living what you are living, and by being in the place you are now.

May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.

I would have---A reflection on life in the time of death.

2008-03-30T13:25:00.000-07:00

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER - by Erma Bombeck
(Written after she found out she was dying from cancer).
I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day.

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

I would have talked less and listened more.

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.

I would have eaten the popcorn in the 'good' living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.

I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

I would have sat on the lawn with my grass stains.

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life.

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn't show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I'd have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.

When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never have said, "Later. Now go get washed up for dinner." There would have been more "I love you's"; more "I'm sorry's."

But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute... look at it and really see it ... live it and never give it back. STOP SWEATING THE SMALL STUFF!!!

Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what!

Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us.

Let's think about what you have been blessed with, and what we are doing each day to promote ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally. I hope you have a joyous day.

you will never be sorry---( good one)

2008-03-30T13:21:00.000-07:00

I got this in my e mail today. thought i could share it here also.

YOU WILL NEVER BE SORRY
For thinking before acting.

For hearing before judging.

For forgiving your enemies.

For being candid and frank in love.

For helping a fallen brother.

For being honest in business.

For thinking before speaking.

For standing by your principles.

For closing your ears to gossip.

For bridling a slanderous tongue.

For harboring pure thoughts.

For sympathizing with the afflicted.

For being courteous and kind to all.

Don't copy if you can't paste

2008-03-30T13:19:00.000-07:00

At training program for top management,a well-known motivational speaker gathering the entire crowd's attention, said, "The best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who wasn't my wife !"

The crowd was shocked!

He followed up by saying, "That woman was my mother!"

The crowd burst into laughter and he gave his speech, which was well received.

About a week later, one of the top managers who had the training decided to use that joke at his house. He tried to rehearse the joke in his head. It was a bit foggy to him.

He said loudly, "The greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who was not my wife!"

Naturally,his wife was shell shocked, murmuring. After standing there for almost 10 seconds trying to recall the second half of the joke, the manager finally blurted out "... and I can't remember who she was !"

As expected, he got thrashing of his life time....

Moral of the story: Don't copy if you can't paste

To Risk

2008-03-30T12:57:00.000-07:00

Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers.

And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be,
you can survive it.

To love is to risk not being loved in return.

To hope is to risk pain.

To try is to risk failure,

but risk must be taken because
the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

Love comes to those who still
hope even though they've been disappointed,

to those who still believe even
though they've been betrayed,

to those who still love even though they've
been hurt before.

Without hope life is not worth living...

About Engineering Maths

2008-03-09T12:02:00.000-07:00

Now that iam officially going to enter the month form which exatly 30 days reamin for my exams all that i can bloody think of is exams and freaking Engineering Mathematics. The CALCULUS we have is the most widely used varient of maths in engineering.So this poem is a ytibute to calculus.(This inst my original work and I dont know the auther,If i come to know of the original poet iam ginna give the credit)so for now enjoy
THE CALCULUS

Looking for the tangent
It's really m we seek
With epsilon and delta
Mathematics looks like Greek

Trying to find a limit
Everything gets small
If you can't determine it
You land in L'Hopital

Calculus, Calculus
Let us celebrate
Riemann Sums, so much fun
We can integrate

Calculus, Calculus
Let us celebrate
dx, dy, dz, dt
We love related rates

Calc 2 is coming next
The really fun stuff starts
Integral x sin(x)
Only works in parts

Summing the series harmonic
The terms keep getting small
But isn't it ironic?
It won't converge at all

Calculus, Calculus
Put your mind at rest
Most divergent series fail
The Root or Ratio Test

Calculus, Calculus
While we sing this song
We can sum (1/2)n
It won't take all day long

Now on to Calc 3
Learning spheres and cones
Maximizing functions
With seventeen unknowns

Fancy vector fields
Finding flux of curl
Using Mr. Stokes
Over a circle

Calculus, Calculus
Ain't it really cool
Gauss and Green are really keen
Don't take them for fools

Calculus, Calculus
Ain't it really cool
f and g, composing thee
Time for the chain rule

Interesting Facts About Reiki.

2008-03-07T09:40:00.000-08:00

Interesting Facts about Reiki.

1. Dr Usui never taught about chakras. The original attunement process called REIJU in japanese did not involve any chakras nor symbols,

2. Actual reju did not involve attuning the tandai points also. The original usui reju attuned the person’s aura as a whole entity

to reiki.
3. Original Reiju did not involve Imprinting symbols on chakras as done today ..but involved chanting of WAKA lines or shingon mantra.

3. The level one was called as shoden level 2 as okuden and third or teacher ship level was called as shinpindin.(now a day’s 4 or five levels are practiced).

4, The person after Takata..Most probably Barbara Weber ray introduced the concepts of chakras.

5. The word ATTUNEMENT means tuning into the frequency of reiki Just like we Tune the radio or TV to a frequency to receive transmission of a particular channel.

6. There is still one gakkai (means society) in Japan which still uses the same old reiju procedure on weekly basis like Dr Usui did. One of the members Mr Hirosho Doi and his friends were actually surprised at the way attunements are done in western world. Like a person was considered having completed shoden after 4 weeks of training in hands on healing.each week there used to be a Reju.so 4 rejus and training would make level one, but the way we practice it today ..We get all 4 attunements in a single day.

This happened because Dr hayashi did 4 rejus in 4 days which was again changed by takata into one single day for the convenience of the busy western world.

7. The research of Walter Lubeck, Mark Hosak, frank ajavara petter,william lee rand, shows the original facts..up to the details of what Practices Dr Usui did to undergo to be able to reicive reiki. Like the pilgrimage of 88 temples he had to undergo.
8. His 21 days of sadhana included what is now called as morning star meditation..Chanting of heart sutra and dimond sutra and a specific mantra of the medicine buddha vajrasattva. And certain kriyas and mudra meditations chiba breathing pranayams.
9. Dr Usui selected Mt Kyoto Koriyama for his final stage of sadhana coz at least 2 people before him received their enlightenment there. One of them was most famous monk called Kukai.

If you want some details you may refer to book called "Complete reiki source book" the other details are included in other books.

Another Video Post

2008-03-04T11:04:00.000-08:00

The reason I haven’t posted anything for so long is not because I was lazy, but I was experiencing some kind of a writer’s block and at the same time I was honestly busy.
The last whole month and especially last 2 weeks seem to have brought a whirl wind of changes.
Though all of them are not very pleasant but I firmly believe that all are for the ultimate best. This is something I have started referring to as second wave of a multi dimensional cleansing process.
Not a single day is going without learning something new about myself or something completely new or rather completely ignored aspects of lot of things.
Among the various things, one of the foremost is about angels. There is a lot I could speak ask and discuss however I will just end this blog by adding this video from you tube about angelic humans.
I am adding this as a offering and a tribute to those people in my life who fit in the category described in the video. I really thank the supreme spirit to have made me come in touch with you.

Another array of kids beautiful reactions on -ANGELS

I got this in an email today. I don't know it's origins but it is just so cute and honest. I had to pass it along. I hope it brings a song to your heart and a smile to your lips like it did to mine.

I only know the names of two angels. Hark and Harold.
--Gregory, 5
Everybody's got it all wrong. Angels don't wear
halos anymore. I forget why, but scientists are
working on it.
--Olive, 9
It's not easy to become an angel! First, you die.
Then you go to heaven, and then there's still the
flight training to go through. And then you got to agree to wear those angel clothes.
--Matthew, 9
Angels work for God and watch over kids when God
has to go do something else.
--Mitchell, 7
My guardian angel helps me with math, but he's not
much good for science.
--Henry, 8
Angels don't eat, but they drink milk from Holy Cows.

Angels talk all the way while they're flying you up to heaven. The main subject is where you went wrong before you got dead.
--Daniel, 9
When an angel gets mad, he takes a deep breath and
counts to ten. And when he lets out his breath, somewhere there's a tornado.
--Reagan, 10
Angels have a lot to do and they keep very busy.
If you lose a tooth, an angel comes in through your window and leaves money under your pillow. Then when it gets cold, angels go north for the winter.
--Sara, 6
Angels live in cloud houses made by God and His
Son, Who's a very good carpenter.
--Jared, 8
All angels are girls because they gotta wear dresses and boys didn't go for it.
--Antonio, 9
My angel is my grandma who died last year. She got
a big head start on helping me while she was still
down here on earth.
--Katelynn, 9
Some of the angels are in charge of helping heal sick animals and pets. And if they don't make the animals get better, they help the child get over it.
--Vicki, 8
What I don't get about angels is why, when someone is in love, they shoot arrows at them.
--Sarah, 7

The Ant and Grasshopper story -(An indian context then and now)

2008-02-12T06:31:00.001-08:00

It’s an old e mail that someone had forwarded me. Of late I have feeling despair. So much that I ended up writing a few lines about being in despair. Looks like it’s a part of a deeper cleansing process due to 2 attunements in teramai reiki and seichem teacher ship. May be sometime later I may post the poem too, however this story really gives us some food for thought.

Ant & Grasshopper

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away.
Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.

Modern Version
The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and
laying up supplies for the winter.
The Grasshopper thinks the Ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.

NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.

The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the Ant's house.

Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding that Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter.

Amnesty International and Koffi Annan criticizes the Indian Government for not upholding the fundamental rights of the Grasshopper.

The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the Grasshopper (many promising Heaven and Everlasting Peace for prompt support as against the wrath of God for non-compliance).

Opposition MPs stage a walkout. Left parties call for 'Bharat Bandh' in West Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry.

CPM in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working hard in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among Ants and Grasshoppers.

Lalu Prasad allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian Railway Trains, aptly named as the 'Grasshopper Rath'.

Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the ' Prevention of Terrorism Against Grasshoppers Act' [POTAGA], with effect from the beginning of the winter.

Arjun Singh makes ' Special Reservation ' for Grasshoppers in Educational Institutions & in Government Services.

The Ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and having nothing left to pay his retroactive
taxes; its home is confiscated by the Government and handed over to the Grasshopper in a ceremony covered by NDTV.

Arundhati Roy calls it ' A Triumph of Justice '.
Lalu calls it ' Socialistic Justice '.
CPM calls it the ' Revolutionary Resurgence of the Downtrodden '
Koffi Annan invites the Grasshopper to address the UN General Assembly.

Many years later...

The Ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi-billion dollar company in Silicon
Valley.

100s of Grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation somewhere in India ... As a result of loosing lot of hard working Ants and feeding the Grasshoppers, India is still a developing country.

Karmic Blocks and their location in the body and mantra to remove the karma.

2008-02-04T10:13:00.000-08:00

Ok people. My last video posts may be boring, but these are really interesting. The speaker in the video is an Indian guru Dattatreya Shiv Baba who apparently is said to be guru of Dr.Wayne Dyer (Author of fantastic books like "your erroneous Zones" and "manifest your destiny")

And this is the second part. Karma is localized in the throat area, Datta teaches the meditation with the Mantra "Thiru Neela Kantum" to dissolve karma that Blocks the Manifestation

2012-From an Astrological View

2008-02-03T09:33:00.000-08:00

In my last post i embedded a video about the metaphysics and the NEW AGE. This one tells or rather tries to prove the theory of 2012 as coming of the golden age from the astrological point of view. Not that i understood much of it...rather i hardly understand any astrologer for that matter..Who keep telling us about THIS planet IN THAT Planets house...I am like HUH..Planets have houses...one being ascendant and another going retrograde. Recently one of my friends wrote on the "Mars Retrograde" so i decided to look up as to what the hell Retrograde means ,I mean how can i understand the post if i don’t know the meaning of the title itself .but it was futile .As it turned out retrograde meant planet going in a reverse direction. Indian's call it as VAKRI...I was like WHAT how can suddenly some planet travel backwards..Then it was clarified that it Appears going back when actually moving forward..Hum some crazy optical illusion due the REALTIVE movements of planets..[I do enjoy inserting theory of relativity into something or the other, makes me feel some kind of high and special] however this too was short lived as the guy i was talking about this [Big M i call him, those who have met him will know why] told me it Mathematically appears that they are going in opposite direction. That left me in even more LURCH..MATHEMATICALY...well must be some concept like minus omega..yeah it took me long time to digest about the Negative sign of the angular frequency [frequency is reciprocal of time...but how can time be negative..and if time can’t be negative ..How can frequency be negative]
OK OK ..That’s my left brain over working. So before someone just closes this blog i better give this video. Hope you like it and gives you some HOPE..

A good metaphysical vedio

Hello . I have been a skeptic and an experimenter in some metaphysics branches. However i have been able to some real commen theme in various form of metaphysics.

THE LOOT

2008-02-01T21:03:00.000-08:00

Iam feeling being looted. I have recently been filling my exam forms and the fees are completly drastic. From what we used to pay in good old days , mere 300 to 500 bucks, the exam fees is like 1045 rs . Thats a whooping increase.And if you are late its a BIG sin to be. Then your fees can go up to as high as 5000 bucks. and if its for both the semesters it can be 10K almost the entire amount of money in a payment. Its majorly so for engineering. seriously its a loot.
And even if the fees are such one can'nt be bloody sure that one will get proper justice. Having myself suffered this twice i can tell you it sucks. The RTMNU seriously needs to look in its working. Afterall if there are communities like "Brave surviours of nagpur university" should tell these people someting.

another nice one

After a while you learn the subtle differenceBetween holding a hand and chaining a soulAnd you learn that love doesn't mean leaning And company doesn't mean securityAnd you begin to learn that kisses aren't contractsAnd presents aren't promises,And you begin to accept your defeatsWith your head held up and your eyes openWith the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child,And you learn to build all your roads on todayBecause tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plansAnd futures have a way of falling down in midflight.After a while you learnThat even sunshine burns if you get too much,So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,And you learn that you really can endure...That you really are strong.And you really do have worth.And you learn and learn...With every goodbye you learn.

2008-01-23T07:08:00.000-08:00

WOW .August 2006 is the time since I have this blogger account. And I have posted so little. August 2006 to December 2006 itself has something 5 posts and the whole 2007 has gone by and I have like just 6 posts. Means once in 2 months I posted something and that too not necessarily my own views. I was wondering about myself recently. What was the reason I started off blogging in the first place and why didn’t I post anything?
Apart from the lame excuses of “no time” to real reasons like being Lazy or just wanting to avoid the pain my right hand has after the typing , I have suddenly hit upon the truth. It flashed in my mind as I was looking at some old photos in my orkut albums. One of them was a funny T-shirt message saying “Of course I am out of my mind it’s dark and scary in there”
BINGO!! So that was it!! I was just avoiding going back in my mind to think about the stuff that happened. Or the things that touched me or I strongly felt about, or even blogged bout in my mind but never put on paper. This too again seems to have reason. Somewhere I was saying to myself it’s useless to go back and think about the same thing again and put it in presentable form. After all it’s gone and what’s the point of brooding over the same thing. However I was subconsciously using this “being in now practice” as a tool to avoid the issues that could really use up some introspection. WOW how subtly the mind works and avoids the core problems and tries to escape the pain and fear of witnessing something unpleasant inside of our own selves. But now I have decided not to take this path of least resistance and not succumb to the comfort zone of my mind. So I shall first start off with the pending things about which I was going to write. So now I can expect myself to blog more often.

A Good one

It's ok to kiss a fool,It's ok to let a fool kiss you,but never ever let a kiss fool you....It's still best to wait for the one you wantthan settle for the one available.Best to wait for the one you lovethan settle for one who's around.Best to wait for the right one.Life is short to waste on the wrong person....It is better to meet the person who will truly love you later,than meet someone now who promises to loveyou but sooner or later leave you forever.....Never try to impress someone to make him/her fall in love with youIf you do, you will be expected to keep the standard for the rest of your life...Fate determines who comes into our lives. The heart determines who stays...!!!

If only – In the agony of love

If only – In the agony of love

Hello all. Today I took out a old copy to write some expenses, and I suddenly found a old poem. I had completely forgotten about it. It was written on 7th of march 2006 night at 11:30 Pm. The poem is inspired from the movie called “IF ONLY”. Seems like I must have gotten emotionally touched, and hence, must have ended up writing this poem. It’s my regular feature to end up writing a poem when emotionally touched. The poem is called,

In The Agony of Love

In few movements of being in love
I lived with you a life time.
To you only do I owe ,
Whatever I claim as mine.

Your “forget me not” smile, I behold in my eyes
Your gaze always intelligent and wise
I watch in amazement your innocence of a child.

I still hold and feel your breath
Even after the so called death
Please come back for moments at least few
Just once more to hear “ I LOVE YOU “

I lived only when near to you
I existed only when dear to you
Oh! Just spare moments just few
Just one more time to hear “I love you”

Irony of fate parts us two
Not a moment goes without thinking of you
But don’t you worry and you DO know
That I keep getting strength in the agony of love.

( Shreesh Tongaonkar)

Comments are welcome, but for the record this is the first time that I am publishing my poem on a blog. Please respect the privacy and don’t usurp the poem from here.

AN Inspiration

2007-09-22T00:37:00.000-07:00

So I am charged again. Amongst the despair and the sad bad news I saw glad news. It was not news of some happy event but a series of sad events but which has taken a turn towards happiness. Not again automatically but by sheer will power and grit and determination of human spirit. I am still watching the news and as it is unfolding, I am getting agape.
It’s the story of a gal called Baby Haldar. A girl born in Kashmir, Her father was in army who was always absent form the home. And whenever he returned there would be fights between him and his wife. And once he left the home not to return to them. And one fine day when baby was 11 years old, her mom taking her younger brother told her that she is going to market. She went and never returned. So the girl, now left alone lived in homes of different relatives. She discovered that her father had married three times to different women. Having lost her all chances of studying after 7th standard, her relatives married her off at the age of 13 to a youth who was 26 years old.
With marriage started another long saga of physical and mental torture. The father as expected never cared about the 2 children they had and hence baby started working as housemaid. This resulted in further problems and her husband stopped giving any money for the house. Having suffered thus she left the house with her children. Now working at peoples homes as maid doing sweeping and cleaning. From one city to another Durgapur , Kolkatta ,Delhi and now Gudgaon . Here she met a family who treated her well. Having lost her education opportunity she was sad. Once, the head of the family an old man who everyone called “Tatush” (meaning father in Bengali) saw her trying to read. He encouraged her to read and write. And gave her a copy and a pen to write something. As she didn’t know what to write he asked her to write about her life. He used to read what she wrote and corrected her mistakes. He once told her that she was the grandson of “munshi premchand “.
Once it so happened that “Tatush “ gave her a Bengali magazine to read and she was flabbergasted to see her name and what she used to write in the magazine. And another day a publisher came to her home and asked permission to publish her whole series of articles as book. The book now is “ AALE ANDHARI” , already making waves in literature circles. “Tatush” himself translated her book in hindi. And now the book has been translated in many languages. A sweeper of yesterday is now today a writer.
Her children who used to be ashamed to telling about their mother’s profession now proudly say that “My mother is a writer”. When TV channel’s wanted to talk to “Tatush” he refused the interview. He didn’t speak anything on camera and just said one sentence “Maine jo kiya wo to bas kartavya tha”( what I did was just a duty as a human.).
This blog is not meant to promote her book or anything, but through this I wish to express my HATS OFF to her for her spirit to fight and live against odds and to “Tatush” for his being a really good and exemplary human being. My regards and Hats Off to both of them. May god bless such souls and inspire our spirits.

PSALM OF LIFE

2007-05-07T02:02:00.000-07:00

Hello people, this is a poem of H.W.Longfellow , you can say that its my favourite poem.
I actully ,not only started liking & reading but also Writing poems only after our english teacher taught us this particular poem.
For me its a poem of great inspiration . Hopefully you people like ,and learn someting from it too..

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. 1807–1882

A Psalm of Life

TELL me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!—
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.

Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Find us farther than to-day.

Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.

In the world's broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!

Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act,—act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o'erhead!

Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;

Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.

Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.

Happy Birthday--Why The Hell ???

2007-05-05T08:29:00.000-07:00

Last november.... A friend of mine had her birthday. She was a very close and a good friend..,as it is ..I didnt wish her...i remembered but i didn't wish her!!!! I was in a highly skeptical mood that day..also i was angry with her..she had a new boyfriend and as it is was romancing...but had started ignoring me..now iam not jelous or anything (believe me ..iam way past that attitude)..but it was imparing her develpoment....on various levels...and i was being bugged by a new question...
WHY THE HELL PEOPLE WISH EACH OTHER ON THE BIRTHDAY???
Not just her but me too...what i really had done that i should celebrate the day i was born..as it goes ...on my birthday i just relaise that another year has passed by ..and Have i really done something that i deserve to celebrate another year loss in my life...????? and when she called me next day and said "kya ree tu bhool gaya na mera birthday??" and i was like man i didnt forget it ..i seriously didn't feel like wishing you ...i mean ..what good have you done in the past year other than clearing your exams subjects???and now you are just fooling around with your boyfriend spending your money that your job is paying you ...whereas you should have looked forward to completing your graduation ..its a job you are doing..and mind well job is not a carrear.???....NOW MUCH BEFORE I COULD TALK ALL THIS ..she started crying...asking me why was i rude ..and what was matter with me..and stuff..she thanked me for not calling me on her Bday as my call would have spoilt her day..!!
NOW THAT WAS SO TRUE. But still my question was not being answered !!!!why do we celebrate Birthdays..??
Next day as i was reading "REIKI PRINCIPLES" the first one HIT ME in a new manner.
JUST FOR TODAY--BE IN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
Yes bingo thatw as it ..GRATITUDE..celebrating birthday is a way of expressing gratitude to the existance, for making you exsist.what i did last one year isnt really important..when we enjoy our friends birthdays we are expressing our gratitudes too ..to the existance or universe or god ..for being given the company of a wonderful person. Saying Happy Birthday is about giving the recognition of ones existance.!! and one must really do it..
and as far oas development goes ..YES..i still stand firm. only when you evolve and develop does the whole exsistance evolves and developes.its a moral duty to be continiously trying to evolve and develop...may be then only can we really be in attitude of gratitude towards the whole universe..and the whole universe will also be grateful for making us exsist.

A good poem

2006-11-18T09:25:00.000-08:00

I am a lil skeptikal about posting my poems anywhere online.and even in the print.Though some have appeared in college magzine i usually dont give them out much. I fear that the words and rhyms may be stolen.For me a poem is like my child filled with my emotions and feelings , hence really a bit possessive about them.
The following poem i found on internet and i found very inspiring hence posting it here. As soon as know who is the auther i will credit it to the authers name.
OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbow'd.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

I HOPE YOU PEOPLE LIKE THE POEM AND TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CREATING OUR FUTURE IN OUR OWN HANDS..
in love and light
shreesh

The poisonous kiss or the poison in the kiss

2006-11-12T08:31:00.000-08:00

Very recently I received a photo in a email attachment from a good internet friend of mine. The photo was of a man who kissed 19 poisonous king cobras. I was like WOW what a poisonous kiss. But then just suddenly something struck me. Isn’t kissing a girl poisonous. The poison of the snake affects the body but the very sight of kissing may fill the mind with the poison of desire (Kama) and poison of lust (vasana). And then this makes the person behave stupidly. When the anger enters due to non fulfillment of desire , one loses his memory about decency and status which results in losing of his discrimination of right or wrong , this results in his character loss and everything is lost. The poison of snake affects the body but the poison of the desire affects the character.
This sequence of destruction is beautifully said in the bhagwat geeta by Lord Krishna.
KRODHAT BHAVATI SAMMOHAT, SAMMOHAT SMRUTI VIBHARAMAT,
SMRITI VIBHARAMAT BUDDHI NASHAYA, BUDDHI NASHAT PRANASHAYATI.
How true isn’t it !!! I thank this friend who sent me the mail for making me realize this thing in a unique angle.

The first blog and why

2006-09-09T10:45:00.000-07:00

Its been quite sometime since I created my blog account and till now hadn’t post a thing. One reason was that I was too lazy to type long things writing is defiantly much easier.
Secondly time constraint and thirdly and most importantly I have been trying to figure out as to what should be written in my first blog. ABOUT ME or MY LIFE. NAAAits not that interesting. In fact sometimes its downright boring even to me myself!! So why the hell would anybody strain their eyes to read about me!!! let alone perfect strangers ..i might actually need to BRIBE my FRIENDS to read this piece and post a comment.
Hence I was trying to find something interesting…something that can catch a readers interest and I express my opinion about it (now as if it matters). After long time I narrowed down upon 3 words which perhaps are most discussed subjects irrespective of age, county ,gender ,class, culture. These are GOD, LOVE, and SEX. So much (good and evil) have happened in the name of these three. The other topics such as money , ideology , power , politics are more or less but derivatives of these three.
Another topic that could have been interesting was DEATH but lets not start anything with as morbid as that.
The important thing is WHY BLOG AT ALL.?? A recent article in magazine surveyed on this and reported “ BLOGGING – Its all about ME !!” It means people want to express and want to be listened to. So I am here too to express and share my insights with whosoever cares to know what I think and feel. So happy reading and I hope I don’t bore you people.
