Today- 15th Aug 2012- got a note from my friend from school- Yashodhra- that her first book got launched on 9th Aug, and is in the stores now- Just Married, Please Excuse....i got interested- read about her last 10 years of life- on the net- because i didnt meet her after school..but her story tells me one thing for sure- we have to focus on listening to our inner voice- what we want to do, not what we are doing in life. Independence Day today- am at work- what does it mean? Perfect tribute to our ancestors who faught for our Independence from the Britisher...if today I ask my son- what does Independence Day mean to you- am sure I would not hear anything other than another holiday from school from him. Is this really the essence of Independence Day? Am working today- on India Independence Day- is this Independence- or we still puppets in the hand of the KARMA? Independence before being a state of affair is a state of mind first- if your mind and thoughts are too clogged- bothered al

Confusion- is this a state of mind or of the surrounding? In today world- one thing which is prevailing all around us is CONFUSION... Where is the global economy heading? Where is India heading? Where are we heading? What would be the future? What would our children be doing? How is my career going to be? all these have realms of only one thing prevailing today- CONFUSION.... So what is confusion? Pre conceptualized illusion of our surrouding metaphysical or spiritual. The clarity of thoughts is the call of the hour. We need to make sure that we our clear ourself in our mind and life and only then we can have an impact to the society. Dont run after things which the majority of folks are doing today- heard from someone once- Dont be in a mad rat race- because even if you win you would still be called a RAT....worth thinking- we have to be clear and give clear messages to the people around us who matter to us. The only way to clear confusion is to be clear ourselves- and preac

La Dolce Far Niente The very thought and the article is so eye opening and nerve shaking that I had to save it for my reference....thank u Rakesh.....would always remember these small things.... Sometimes, we try too hard. Sometimes, we lose our soul trying too hard. We lose balance in the pursuit of a meaningless goal. It would all be worthwhile if that goal was not purely selfish, if it was purposeful. It would be worthwhile if our goals are not fleeting. Moving targets, one after another, and we chase them without respite. Sometimes, only to reach a goal and then feel a sense of emptiness. The hollow ring of achievement echoes in a overcrowded marketplace of compliments and no one really hears it. But, there are the few that stand out easily with elegance. There are some folks who are not trying too hard, and yet stand out distinguished. There are some folks who want to step away from the limelight, yet shine out bright. There are some folks who bask in effortless ac

Ever wondered- how many times you get this question-  in your mind- What is it that I want? What is it that you want? and what is it that everyone wants!!! I keep thinking why people are not happy? and even if they are- its only short lived-Happiness is a state of mind they say- however- why do most people think that Happiness is related to some  materialistic thing or achievement? What is the key missing link? Why are people always running after something!! burning midnight oil- focusing around ensuring that we keep doing more and more- on one aspect of life, thereby ignoring something else- which is probably equally important...in their life... Wonderer is what i call when i look all around- everyone is busy, noone has time- but why? If the situation has to be like this- then should i assume that rich and powerful would be the only section of the people who would survive this mad race? doesnt seems to be the turth of life- afterall no one till date has been able to defeat the u

What is it that happens-whenever you are Happy or Sad......we get feelings....what are feelings? to me feelings are thoughts, emotions, which arise in our mind- and its internal to oneself... What do feelings do....to me they probably trigger some hormones- which let us exhibit either Happiness or make us feel sad....but these feelings are only for a moment...not forever... More than often in today time- feelings are also changing as the time changes by the clock...whether it is small or big- whether it is for our friends, colleagues, family- feelings have become a toy for play, where in the feelings change as the days and week.... Your surrounding changes your feelings, one moment you feel something else, and the other moment some other feeling crops in our head.....and we choose to exhibit our feelings as well- as per the thoughts which arise in our mind....not realizing that your changing feelings may disturb someone who is your well wisher... What is going on in mine mind is...

During my last trip to the USA....our flight was delayed....and a lot of us had connecting flights to catch.....people started asking the crew....what would be the plan in case the connecting flight is missed!!! All this while there was an elderly couple who were on the next seat to mine.....and while I was talking to the crew- the lady may have heard me...and said dont worry we are also going to be taking the same flight...we should be fine...or else the Airlines would give us an alternate option and would put us up in the hotel...next to the Airport... When the flight Landed in Chicago...there were ground staff people....holding our name cards and a hotel stay voucher- they mentioned pls try catching the flight- in case you are unable- then you would be put to the first flight next morning... While I was running towards the other terminal- I saw this couple also in queue...and talking to each other- that what is the hurry, lets stay here for the night...and we can catch the morn
