Now that I regularly do it...

I thought it would be difficult for me to do it. Now that I regularly do it, I only got realized that it was never difficult; but getting mentally prepared to do that was certainly so and obvious too.

Simple Living...


I’m happy on how my take on ‘simple living’ has been changed these days. What I used to think about it does not matter now. All that I can say now is…


** Simple living is about accepting people around us, as they are, to their core.


** Simple living is about accepting what happens in life without our consent and learning from the same.


** Simple living is about believing that we get what we deserve, not what we desire; as there are many people who desire for the limited number of things that can happen.


Last but not the least…


** Simple living is about cherishing the truths of life though we lie at times.

Few lies, few regrets, few truths, few sorrows…………. and a few smiles… Simple living calls for everything, enjoys everything.


Simple living makes everything worthwhile.

When we express ourselves...

It feels like heaven when we express ourselves and it is up to us how much we chose to live in heaven.

Own Your Life!

"Be on your own; own your life"

PS: “What he could not achieve is what he sees in his students’ eyes today”… go ahead reading this in my previous post, a story of a teacher running an IIT training institute called Super-30.

Super-30

Teacher enjoys his student’s success more than does the student.


I’m proud to present to you the story of a teacher who has been living his dream with the help of his students, and the students who have proved themselves with the help of their teacher.


I have come across the story of “Super-30” in the news on the occasion of IIT-JEE results’2010.


Anand was a gem in mathematics in his student life, also had dreamt of studying in the prestigious Cambridge University and finally ended his student life by selling the Papads in Patna, India. He was made victim by the heart attack of his father which eventually left him and his mother pressurized to survive.


His routine life of selling Papads had been changed by a simple thought of starting a mathematics coaching institute. I wonder about his determination and interest towards the subject as he didn’t take a back step though he just had 700 bucks in his pocket when he started the institute.


Slowly the institute has become a place where 1000 pupil can learn the things and more interestingly, the institute which helped the same person in aiding a super institute of IIT-JEE called SUPER-30, which has been a super hit so far. The thing that has been mesmerizing me is that the students who have been freely given the coaching in Super-30 are the 30 poor and talented persons. I feel so happy for the students who are qualified in the IIT entrance exam for the third time in a row from this institute on 30/30 basis.


It is also like a dream coming true, in fact living the dream for their teacher Mr. Anand. What he could not achieve is what he sees in his students’ eyes today, how pleasure!!


I’m very pleased to convey my hearty congratulations to him and to his students as well. My best wishes for his future achievements. It is good to know that he is going to give free coaching to 60 more students from this year onwards.


Teacher enjoys his student’s success more than does the student.

Introspection always helps...:)

Hi friends, hope you all are doing well. Thank you so much for your well wishes, I can never express how your support does mean to me.


Well, it’s been near about a fortnight that I’ve written something here; in fact I missed out on expressing myself. But as I said, the break was meant for the introspection. One thing I’d say on my come back here “Introspection always helps”.


I was so confused when I posted my last one here. Literally I was feeling like I did not have any choices in many respects of my life. I was occupied with clutter. I don’t know why it was like that, but during the break, I had concentrated and thought on many aspects of my life. I’m proud that I’m decided on many of them as on today.


Today I can see many doors kept opened for me. In fact, I got realized that no door can be closed as long as I keep focusing on my goal.


People come and go; things happen and forgotten; no matter if I think about them all the time; but, what matters is how I’m with them when they are with me. Ultimately one needs to know what he is and why he is. If one fails to do so, that’s it; everything will have happened by the end of his life, just happened not lived.


I’m rejuvenated so as my thoughts. So, I hope I can post some real good matter here in coming days. Until then, have nice time.

Introspection needed...I'll be back after some time

I think I need some introspection. Friends, I'll be back after some time. Take care. All the best for all your doings.
With Love,
Prams

Please correct me, if I’m wrong!


When I’m not right or wrong completely,

How can I decide if the other person is right or wrong?

Of course, common sense can help, but

Common sense is not too common across!!


This is what I think seeing today’s world.

Please correct me, if I’m wrong!

Team India – The Team FROM India, my country

I stress, I love cricket and I love Team India too.

When a team wins, we praise the team. When a team loses, we blame the players. I’ll not ask how far it is fair though I’d love to do so. Win or loss, when it comes to the team games the complete team is responsible for every game they play; a win or loss shall not matter after all.

If a player fails to perform well in a game, we as an audience only see it, but his team mates know the reason better than us, better than any one else too in some cases. Still, we blame the person and leave clean chit to the rest of the team. There we forget that he is after all a member of the same team, and the same team members could have done something better in inspiring him to do his turn.

I sincerely believe, not any individual is responsible for the poor performance of India. But every single person is responsible now to turn the world cup loss in to gain of good spirit and zeal to win incessantly from now onwards.

Team India’s T20 world cup debacle should be a lesson to the team as well as to the BCCI which has been running it. Lessons are not only meant to learn, they are supposed to be implemented in the form of not doing the same mistakes again and again. They know it better.

@ M.S. Dhoni: Looks like a stressed man at the moment, though he is known as ‘captain cool’. I hope he will not change himself amidst the unproductive disputes. He is the power of team India, no doubt. I disagree that he needs to be sacked, though his tactics didn’t work for him. But one shall not forget that the same tactics has been keeping him as a successful captain. I feel he should not have blamed the IPL parties for the loss in Carrabian Islands. The same IPL would have been praised a lot if team India had outplayed all other countries. As the organizer Mrs. Mehr rightly asked “who has forced the players to party?” Anyways, he knows it better than me.

No comments on the argument which some portion of the fans has been raising that Sachin would have made the difference!!

By the way hearty congratulations to the Indian women for storming in to the semis. My sincere wishes to the South African cricketers as well. I like them too.

I’d love to wish the team India all the best to come out of this crisis soon. I reiterate, I love cricket and I love Team India too.

How ever they play, they are the Team FROM India; the same land, the same mind sets, the same emotions and tensions of which I’m from.

Essence of Words - Take Home # 14

Get the essence of words; not just definitions. Knowing the definitions make you tell what you know; understanding the essence make you implement what you have learnt.

...written for the school children

Mom and I have prepared the following lines for my mom’s students (6th to 10th classes). I’m just keeping them here as it is. Friends, interested may read on.

Moral Education

It is equally important to know the moral values along with the curriculum. Moral values not only help you to grow as a good person in the society, but they also keep you successful. Moral values such as helping the needy, maintaining good human relations, being capable of identifying one’s strengths and weaknesses, encouraging the talent develop your personality. As you grow with good moral values you will become a responsible citizen of our country; hence a flawless society can be built.

Women empowerment

In today’s society almost half of the people are women. Hence they must be given equal rights in securing the education, employment which they much deserve. Educated woman gets economic freedom to live herself, confidence to move forward so as to make a definite change in the society. In the contemporary world, women are equally placed along with the men in almost all professions. In addition to that if women are also given a better chance in the politics, our society and country will be developed faster than ever. As Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru said, an educated woman can be an inspiration to the whole family. Similarly women empowerment will be more useful for the whole country. All of you shall try to get the women empowered.

Population education

India is the second most populated country in the world. Heavy population is the first hurdle to the development of any country. It keeps the people unemployed, it creates food problems, environmental pollution etc. Controlling the population leads to many advantages for any country. Small families are relatively more successful in the contemporary world than the larger ones. In a small family the children are provided with the required resources such as education. People of every country shall understand the advantages of less population.

Simple Thoughts...

** when two kids fight, the one who makes louder noise is mostly supported; There we make them believe that they are supposed to cry to get the work done next time.


** Very few people feel happy when u r being praised. Identify them & just love them, no matter who they are & how they are. Remember, never expect anything else from them.

PS: Twitter is really helping me in capturing all of my thoughts in a better way, without loss and as they are on the spot. I believe it keeps me satisfied at the end of every day!

Perceptions...

Most of our lives are about perceptions. Truth is very different as we sit and imagine the other way around. Everything is for a good reason.

Finally, I'm @ Home

Burnt left hand fingers of mine…Uncertainty on the train ticket confirmation… Work in the office… Power cut in my room… PNR status machine… stunning twists in the railway station… all of these had given me an unforgettable day of my journey to home.

I rushed to my cubicle in third floor of our office as if I had an urgent mail to send or an important meeting to attend! Yeah, of course it was important, but not office work. I had to book a Tatkal ticket, which was known as the hottest cake early in the morning of any season. I kept almost all of my efforts in making my dream of getting one confirmed ticket, but finally I ended up myself with a waiting list 2.

I was in a mood to go home while cooking that night, of course, thinking about my unconfirmed ticket. On the other side, I was completely involved in the on going Indian Idol show on Sony TV. I was imagining another beautiful season of Indian Idol. Eventually, I didn’t take much time to learn that I actually touched a hot plate beside the stove. What next? Washed my hand with cool water; applied tooth paste on the burnt fingers as if it was the only alterative I had; then applied the coconut oil as well; I almost cried!!! Finally, I got the sensation of little less pain and itching only on the next morning. Even that morning welcomed with an unmoved waiting list status.

I could not sit in the AC room with those burnt fingers as they enjoyed irritating me much. But what else I could do other than sitting there? I was left with no other option as the discussion was even more interesting. I didn’t even dare to count how many times I refreshed my unmoved PNR status e-page.

Now it was 3:45 PM and the day of my journey. I had to leave the office if I was supposed to catch the train, though the ticket was still unconfirmed. The chart was supposed to be prepared by 1’o clock itself, but to add to my tension it wasn’t. Still, I strongly decided to move out of Pune that night in any case. I forgot to mention, now the status was waiting list 1.

Booked a cab and reached home. My mobile was not properly charged that morning. I had to keep it ready for any urgent calls I would get regarding the confirmation status. Many of my good friends had already taken the PNR number to keep me informed. I really thanked them so much. As I switched on the mobile charger, it was dumb. Then only I got realized that there was no power in my room. The drama continued for another half an hour. By that time my mobile was charged for only last fifteen minutes as the power had come to assist me.

I strictly decided to go to the railway station or to bus stand to leave to Hyderabad. As I entered I found a PNR status machine welcoming me. I had been there many times earlier, but I could find it only now. May be, “necessity is the mother of invention”; in my case here it was not for any invention, it was for a discovery. After many days it happened that I could not believe my eyes as the PNR machine had displayed the status as S7, 18. Ticket got confirmed!! After getting it doubly confirmed, I went to the platform announced.

As soon as I reached there, there was a loud noise from a train which was about to start. People were crying a lot, police were on their way. I feared if I would see a gunman coming out of the train similar to the 26/11 attacked. I planned to lie on the floor to be safe from the bullets. It was confirmed that mine was a false imagination as soon as I saw a woman and two men were coming out of the train while screaming at each other.

I was satisfied when I heard people on my platform saying “… Chart was not prepared”, “…waiting list was not confirmed”, “…PNR machine…just now”, etc. I though I too had great colleagues.

Hmm… I smiled on seeing the approaching train. I thought “Hurray, I’m going home finally”… After a journey of almost 13 hours, I said ‘Hi’ to my mom. Now I’m at home, enjoying the food and bed of love.

Take It easy - Take home #13

Sachin – GOD of cricket!!! I differ in opinion.

I’ll keep it short and straight.

What I exactly feel is, by calling the little master as the ‘God of cricket’ we are actually making ourselves and the younger generations believe that it is almost impossible to be another such kind of a sports personality! I feel, the dedication he shows, the efforts he keeps, the maturity his experience has given him are all the driving wheels of his career and life. He is also like any other human being. Similarly, any other person can become such an inspiring personality if the necessary inputs are kept.

Sachin must be seen as a human being with great control on himself. He must be taken as an inspiration which can strongly make us believe that a human heart has got many powers and that is one’s real beauty and duty to use them for great purposes.

Moreover, ‘God’ itself is a debatable subject; I wonder if Sachin ever deserves a debate!

Today's Take Home #12

Straight forwardness is not only about saying what I feel; it is also about the way I say and convey the same.

Lots of stuff to read, to know…

I can’t paste the picture of the present condition of my bed though. I myself have been wondering about the unconditional love that has been shown by me on books since today morning. At every instant I found myself having at least one book in my hand since morning, would you believe that? Well certainly you have to as I say so sweetly (Sincerely though!).

In the left most corner of my bed a blue colored “Dreams in Prussian Blue” has been awaiting my soft touch since very long time. Well, I touch it when I clean the room, but never ever to read it so far. It was given by my sweet cousin Yamini. I know she will read this post for sure, and she shall not mind whenever she would like to give me another book in future.

Next to it are my subject books. I read them in my B.Tech and M.Tech. One is the circuit analysis and the other one is the power electronics. Don’t get stunned; though I have not been to them since very long, as soon as I opened them today, it was no Greek and Latin. I just wanted to get those good memories back in to my heart. Once again I’m ended up with the fact that ‘gone are the days that we love the most’.

Coming to my next friend, of course it has been my best friend since a week. Whenever I get time, I’m getting hooked to it. The title says P.S.I Love You. It’s a brand new story all the way. I read first ten pages. Then I got the film which was made based on the same book. Again, I have to bring Yamini in here. I was given the movie by her. With no surprise, I completed watching the movie, of course with a few tears on my cheek. Now I’m trying hard to complete the book. Wish me friends.

Next to it is the Tata Indicom bill, to open which I’ve been in absolutely no mood since two days. Here the culprit is the online account of the same.

Here comes the Grammar book, well I spelled it rightly to my surprise this time, GRAMMAR, as I tweeted, the spelling of which I’m never sure about. My dad has given me this book. Last but not the least, there are many more magazines in ‘Q’ about the automotive world. One Manorama year book, I’m not sure if this year will be completed by the time I read at least 10 % of it, how scary this thought itself is!

And that’s it all about my day out @ books.

I conclude lots of stuff to read, to know; not only to strengthen my data base, but also to get my good memories back. And now, I’m falling in love once again with my bed, lots of stuff to read. I’m signing off, keep smiling my friends.

Read to know what you don’t know.
Read to know what you can know.
Read to know what you deserve to know.

Time is what you breath, not what that runs!

My Clock shows 01:15 Hrs exactly and I feel like writing something. Of course, it is not going to be ‘something’; but it would be a dear thing to you, if my guess is correct.

Things appear very perfect at times. Times when we believe everything is going to be fine. As soon as we imagine the fatality that is going to happen, actually it may or may not happen, but when we believe that it is going to happen, we see the things moving absolutely perpendicular to us, despite of the soothing love that we have got within ourselves. Time clears many wounds. May be, it can also teach us some more.

Isn’t it? At least I feel it so. No matter what makes me write this, but this is what happens with every common man; I know.

Every heart wants the same. This is the fact that many hearts fail to understand. No regrets for the very straightforward talk. I feel so lucky to have you as a reader who still continues to read this unclear stuff. Yes. I really feel lucky, believe me.

Back to the point, time clears many wounds! Who justifies? No one can in fact. Time does not clear wounds, I feel; rather time keeps the wounds safely recorded to make us enable to access them at any point of our lives. Won’t you agree? Read on.

When we look back, we find the times when we all have had hard breaths over the nights. What matters now is not what made us come out of all those, but the very point that we all have come out despite of many quaking breaths. It is celebration time. I have brought you a very different story all together. I know people who still live in the past thoughts what use to ruin their hearts. Not even time could bring them out of those happened long back How it all happened if time had the power to clear the wounds?

In my opinion, it is not time that can clear wounds. It is one’s insider who all does the work. As time passes by, we all get the realization that life is not just about one thing. We start believing that life is a beautiful bouquet which is made up of many flowers. Some of them may make us mesmerized, whereas some turn us other way around. As the realization happens, we take the right path; soon we start to live. As a part of this we forget the past.

As I mentioned earlier, time stores the things very carefully. As I also mentioned, the people who could not come out of the past fatalities, would have never got realized of the very fact of life. For them, past is no different from present and future as well.

I just want to bring one point on to the discussion forum. Never ever blame time for what happens in your life. Time is no different from your breaths. As long as you breath your counter runs. Fortunately, there is no battery down problem. It is one’s own responsibility to be fresh every morning. It is not the incessant clock that runs on your wall changes your life. But the incessant breaths you take, and the right decisions you make do.

Be a favorite of yourself first before being a devotee of someone else. Time is what you breath, not what that runs. Life is what you make, not what that happens.

IPL Updates...

Wah…!!! What a fantastic day I have just had. I will remember this day for a long time, no doubt.

Chennai super kings made it in to the semis; it was a memorable match for Dhoni as well. His expression after the match winning knock said it all. The last two sixes were amazing and made me feel absolutely unlucky for the Kings XII Punjab. Congratulation to Preeti Zinta for her ever lasting smile, though they lost superbly this time.

Deccan Chargers, undoubtedly the team that I love the most established their spot in semis for the second time in a row. The moment I saw Gilli walking back to pavilion, I felt the heat. But Andrew Symonds, the man who makes me wonder always with his fearless batting, quickly brought my hopes back. Then it was all done right by the brilliant catches of Rohit Sharma, spinning spell of Pragyan Ojha, and a productive placement of the skipper himself.

Generally, in all most all cricket tournaments so far, it always happened what I never wanted it to happen. Fortunately this time, at least I’m safe from watching the semis between Mumbai and Deccan. It is no more; that’s good news for me. Had it been there, my favoritism would have dragged me to support Deccan Chargers, but my sportive spirit would have definitely made me go with Mumbai Indians.

I want to see the top performing team of this IPL i.e. Mumbai to be in the final playoff unlike last time, where the top performing Delhi Daredevils surrendered themselves to their below pars in the semis. I agree winning a game is about that day’s performance, but I rate the consistency on top of everything which reflects the true champion.

Most likely it is going to be Mumbai Indians Vs Royal Challengers, Deccan Chargers Vs Super Kings. Well, for me it will be like a feast to watch Mumbai and Deccan having the final play off. Royals and Kings are not the teams to be considered low. They can rock on their day. Hmm… Let’s see what is in store for all the cricket lovers. I hope for the best.

Loser!!!

Loser is not the one who attempts and fails.
Loser is the one who sits back and doesn’t attempt.

A girl tells herself…

I know myself better than anybody else who knows me.
I know the depth of each and every feeling of mine.
I know I’m neither perfect nor expected to be so.

Happiness, sorrow, regret, interest etc are my feelings.
I can handle them with all the beauty I have within myself.
I believe I can make my thoughts clean and possible.

It is not always important to understand every person.
But it is important to respect every person and their thoughts.
It is important to value the other person no matter whatever.

I will enjoy the relations; I will enjoy the challenges I face.
I feel I’m important to my heart. I feel I genuinely love myself.
It is up to me how I direct my life, nothing else can do more.

I forgive myself for the very reason that I love myself.
I encourage myself not only to make the things possible;
But also to make myself believe that nothing is impossible.

PS: She can be anyone out of the millions.

And My Vote Goes To…

Before I express my opinion, I would like to clarify few points which have been raised by my beloved readers.

1. @ Their skills as mentioned above have been reflected in their performances in the finale.

This sentence clearly says that their performances are over and their skills as I have mentioned have been reflected in the performances already.

2. One more point which I would love to convey is: When I wrote the post, I didn’t have any intension of dragging your hearts favorably towards the second guy. You will be very clear about this once you read this post fully.


From my perspective:

My vote goes to the first person, who is having good skills, who has already performed well. These are the qualifications which I see when I vote. Though the second person is from a poor back ground, though he does not have enough chances, for me, none of these are the parameters when I vote in a reality show which happens for the talent hunt.

There are many ways to encourage poor person; discouraging the rich person’s talent is definitely not one such way. When they entered the competition, both would have aimed the title, both would have dreamt the same about the future, both would have had the same good hopes. It is my responsibility to choose the best out of those, this is what I feel and believe.

As my dear friend rightly said, having everything in life and still trying is a bigger quality than having nothing and trying. It needs to be valued too... Moreover, I always like the winner, and I love the loser. So I definitely would love to see the second guy getting good chances again and again. I will vote the first guy, and I ensure that I have given my best contribution to the talent hunt.

PS: This is just my opinion, and this is how I see the situation. I respect and I can understand your view points. I’m happy to have got those words from you all.

My friend “The Idle Brain” has suggested me to do such post by taking a situation, I have chosen this one, and I dedicate this complete conversation to her. She also has asked me to do a funny post this time.

But sorry dear; I could not make this post funny as I had to express myself very seriously. Any ways, I will try my best in my upcoming post. Thanks a lot.

Welcoming your opinions,
Prams

Apr 8, 2010

Whom do you vote and why?

I would like to have your view point on the below described situation. Please do share your thoughts.

Just Imagine…

A rocking reality show, which has been entertaining the crowd with its swashbuckling juncture has come to the grand finale round; the two finalists are enthusiastic to conquer the coveted title. But the ultimate decision comes with the votes of audience.

One finalist has got extraordinary skills to win the title. He is sweet and workaholic person, who has got a strong belief in his capability to deal the matters. He is from a rich family back ground. He has got every facility that is required to keep him well practiced and confident. His dedication toward his work amazes everyone undoubtedly.

The other participant is not so competitive to the first person in terms of the skills, but he along with the audience aware of the fact that his dedication has helped him in reaching this position he is in today. He is from a poor family back ground. He has not got many facilities to practice, but still he has become a finalist with a burning desire to win.

Their skills as mentioned above have been reflected in their performances in the finale. In this situation, a WIN to the first person means a boost for his bright future, and also an enjoyable chance for getting good opportunities. But for the second person, a WIN means his life changer, an opportunity-giver. Both of them have worked hard; have dedicated their energies to the show; have done everything such that they deserve a WIN.

The winner will be decided by the audience with their votes. If you are supposed to vote, whom do you choose and why?

Sensitiveness...

Sensitiveness is not about being emotional;
It is all about understanding one’s emotions.
