There are moments in my life when I feel so happy and contented that I often fail to express in words. It is such an awesome experience. It is not happiness .It is called “aanandam” Everyone feels this sort of wonderful moments in some point of life. Filing our lives with such moments should be our aim.

Giving little significance to events that happen in our life will give peace .Helps us to be calm always .Who are we ? What surety do we have of the next moment .Do we control anything? Answer is NO . I don’t control anything- my heart beats, digestion takes places, breath in and out, infact the entire life process goes on without my control or knowledge . This ‘gyan’ should make us think and ‘laugh’ at the events that happen in our life.

Make our heart an ocean. An ocean is unfazed even when a mountain falls into it. Not even an inch of water level rises. That’s how we should be .Undeterred by the events in our life. The show must go on, for it is destined to be so . I was amazed when one asked me to view this world as a giant big stage. A big play is going on .Everyone is playing their part well. Play our part also well.

Liberation

Liberation. Liberation of myself .I want to liberate myself from the shackles of ignorance. True experiences can only bring me knowledge. Only experiences can quell the doubts and confusion in my mind. Doubts and conflicts are the harbinger of light. New ideas and views sometimes will be in conflict with my beliefs. Which is true? Which is wrong? Why do my beliefs change over time? Answers and reasons can be found when I set myself to traveling. A travel that never ends through the vast eternity of human life. Opening up ourselves is the key. Open up ourselves to each and every view ,criticism, story, fact and dream. Start to analyze it critically, word by word. Try to reason. Never accept anything with blind eyes.Try to find the logic behind the argument. But always have the humility and wise to accept certain things that are beyond the earthly logic.

When I sit and look into myself, I feel guilty for my weaknesses and ignorance .C ertain things are set to be permanent. I cant change it. Does it mean that , I will always have a guilt feeling ?

Gratitude and appreciation

Gratitude and appreciation are two of the rarest qualities of people around me.Why to express gratitude or appreciate someone? Qualities that earn you nothing. Where do people have time for these stuffs , huh ?

Infact we are so averse to thanks giving that if someone says “Thankyou” to a storekeeper or a bus conductor , people glare at him. Which planet is he from ? I think we are not used to it. We lack social manners, terribly . The way we behave in the society does not tell well about us. Forget about social manners. In moral education classes my teacher used to say that we should be always grateful to God. I believe in it and do so. I feel that we ( me ,you and all those lucky ones) are much much better than millions of poor and destitute in this world. We are lucky my birth ,my circumstances , by opportunities. Don’t u think that we ought to thank Him for his benevolence .I have seen people who ask for God more , even when their greatest wishes are satisfied. They always complain about what they don’t have.

Same is with the case of appreciating someone else. Imagine the joy and contentment on the face of a child when someone pats him on his shoulder. But the sad thing is that even his parents are not talking good about his small and big achievements. They will use that time to compare him with next door guy’s son . He does that,why don’t you do that.I myself is a victim to this comparing. When the exam results come,the first question that I encounter is how many are ahead of me. Even if 95 percentile is scored, the analysis is “So that means 5% of total students are top of you ,phew “. Well, I have no answer to it. I am a loser. Bear with me.

Capricorn

I am a Capricorn . Its said that Capricorns like their works to be appreciated by everyone. They like to bask in their success. So am I. I put great effort to make my piece of work better ,however humble it may be. In fact I waste a lot of time in that.That may explain my infrequent posts here.

Also ,ctrl-c and ctrl -v has always been my weapon. So when it comes to pen down something, it becomes very difficult.Nevertheless I will try my best.

In todays frenetic and fast paced world, people fail to express themselves. Shrinking of one's personal space is one of the reasons. I feel providing platforms for people to let out their feelings ,emotions,complaints, screams can solve much of todays problems.

So here is the first step from my side.
