Win or lose

Losing is not a weakness but the courage to accept our unknowing to knowing...

Winning doesn't teach me anything new rather than happiness...

When I accept my unknowing... The doors are open to learn a new things which really leads me to the victory.

I don't worry about the failure but happy to face it, lets face the failure and learn a great lesson.

We miss you Prathap

Though the life has some ending...
Though the body has expiry...
Nothing will happen to the memory...

U r always in our memory... We miss you dear Prathap...

May your soul be in peace always.

Varanasi - something different...

When you expect something and get the different one, it will be good to you as long as its positive. There is something on Varanasi, a place where I could realize something which has changed my perspective of seeing the human body.

When I could see the body burning in 'Mani karnika ghat' place where the  human body buried in Varanasi.

I couldn't feel the fear to see the burning body, rather something happening inside....

Its a reminder to me.... That, whatever we do while live, one day our body should die and buried. We didn't carry anything with this body and can't carry back anything except our karma.

Do good to others... Follow dharma...

Just another day...

I wonder why so much celebrations on a particular day, New Year celebrations... and so on. It's just another day in life, but all days are special.

We wouldn't realize the fact, each day is special in our life, rather every day is just another day... its just a count in our life...

I see some people, celebrate only on particular day, but not all the days... life is like a sky... someone celebrate when see the rainbow, someone celebrate when see the sun raise, some one at sun set, BUT it all happens in this beautiful universe / galaxy (whatever...), just see through it, you will celebrate all the times... or you will feel everyday is 'just another day'

5th Year :)

Its been a quite interesting to write blog whenever get time to spare, happy to enter 5th year of writing blogs and the celebration with DIWALI festival

You are my perfect mirror...

A beautiful song which really means a lot to me...

This song is available on the most of the English DVDs of Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev's speech.

You are my perfect mirror,

You show me what I'm not,

In the endless pit of what once was me.

Layer and layer you peel of me,

the pain it is, but the joy it brings.

So, Thank you for showing me what I'm not,

For showing me what I could be. Thank you Endlessly.

If I could only just be, You could show me all the things that I would be willing enough to see

Should I go...?

Should I go somewhere to get peace of mind? should I go somewhere to realize something? should I go...?

Most of us think about this, if we are frustrated, if we are in the sad moment or if we need some enjoyment, we think to travel somewhere to get something... may be a pleasant place which has some greenery stuff or sea shore or some mountain and so on ...

But what really happens when we travel to such places, how do we feel something good when we are there...

Its not the matter of places, but the flow of mind, since wherever we go, our body is same, our mind is same, but the environment is new may be different as of now.

If we stay for a while in the same place, do we feel the same excitement when we were in the first time? obviously no, WHY? the environment is same, but why we don't feel the same kind of excitement, because its not new to our mind, we have been for a while in that place, since mind needs to jump into new things always, it won't feel better when we are in the same places again and again.

As long as, we apart from the body and mind, we can't realize the real excitement ever. Wherever we go, we carry our body as well as the mind, so, it won't give the permanent joy, but get free from body and mind. 'Mano naasam' - 'destroying the mind' will be the solution for all the problem, but its not that easy to destroy like papers, for that, of course, we have to travel to realize something somewhere some energy places...

so... Should I go...?

One more count to add :)

One more count to add in my age today :)
It has been a great year, learned a lot and came from dark to light, feel a glorious life ahead. When a butterfly comes out of its shell, there are plenty to explore. The new world has more surprises...

Where to make an effort, makes all the difference

A giant ship engine failed.

The ship's owners tried one expert after another but none of them could figure how to fix the engine.

Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was young.

He carried a large bag of tools with him when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.

Two of the ships' owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do.

After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something.

Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away, the engine was FIXED.

A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for 10,000 dollars.

"What?" the owners exclaimed. 'He hardly did anything!'

So they wrote a note to the old man saying, 'Please send us the itemized billing'.

The old man send a bill that read,

Tapping with hammer ..................................... $ 2.00
Knowing where to tap.................................... $ 9,998.00

Moral

Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort makes all the difference.

You are the best judge

Once upon a time there was a painter who had just completed his course.

He took 3 days and painted beautiful scenery. He wanted people's opinion about his caliber and painting skills. He put his creation at a busy street-crossing. And just down below aboard which read -"I have painted this piece. Since I'm new to this profession I might have committed some mistakes in my strokes etc. Please put a cross wherever you see a mistake."

While he came back in the evening to collect his painting he was completely shattered to see that whole canvass was filled with Xs(crosses) and some people had even written their comments on the painting. Disheartened and broken completely he ran to his master's place and burst into tears. This young artist was breathing heavily and master heard him saying "I'm useless and if this is what I have learnt to paint I'm not worth becoming a painter. People have rejected me completely. I feel like dying"

Master smiled and suggested "My Son, I will prove that you are a great artist and have learnt a flawless painting. Do as I say without questioning it. It WILL work." Young artist reluctantly agreed and two days later early morning he presented a replica of his earlier painting to his master. Master took that gracefully and smiled.

"Come with me. " master said.

They reached the same street-square early morning and displayed the same painting exactly at the same place. Now master took out another board which read -"Gentlemen, I have painted this piece. Since I'm new to this profession I might have committed some mistakes in my strokesetc. I have put a box with colors and brushes just below. Please do a favor. If you see a mistake, kindly pick up the brush and correct it." Master and disciple walked back home.

They both visited the place same evening. Young painter was surprised to see that actually there was not a single correction done so far. Next day again they visited and found painting remained untouched. They say the painting was kept there for a month for no correction came in!

Moral of the story:

It is easier to criticize, but DIFFICULT TO IMPROVE!
So don't get carried away or judge yourself by someone else's criticism and feel depressed...
JUDGE YOURSELF!!
YOU ARE YOUR BEST JUDGE!!!

Indian Sign Language Course

Indian Sign Language(ISL) Course has been offered to the British Council Members and staffs by ABILITY FOUNDATION and British Council - Chennai. It has been a great opportunity for each and everyone who participated in this course. Each and every moment was so enjoyable. It is not just a language which use to communicate, it is a gateway to the new world which we probably never knew. It kindled a new flavour in our life, it helps to break the barrier between different people.

Our teachers, Shreyansh and Feroz Khan from Deaf EnAbled Foundation through Ability Foundation, though they are deaf, very capable persons to teach anyone. Beginners like us, we are in the position of understand and communicate the basic conversation in sign language within two weeks.

Though the classes was in weekdays, everyone was tried their best to attend the class, I took a little break from office work and attended the classes and went back to office. Its not just because of punctuality that we had to follow, but the curiosity which made us to sit back all classes and participate with positive thoughts.

I take this opportunity to thank Shreyansh and Feroz for their great effort. We wish them to teach ISL throughout INDIA and break the barriers. Also, thanks to British Council - Chennai and Ability Foundation for this great opportunity for offered this course, and we wish them to achieve more. Thanks to each and every participants for their involvement to make this course successful!

The reason being... I AM THAT

I'm here, in this dreaming (MAYA) world with the karma to fulfill, I have been using a physical body, a mixture of five elements. I'm here to vanish my karma, but the maya environments are creating more.

All I need is a long journey to realize the oneness. There should be a way to travel, there should be a vehicle to travel. A tool which can make me exist in this dream, nothing but the body.

When I started to travel, I started to believe that I'm the body, where the dream started to seems like an original.

All the energy of life span moves towards the body, all the karma suppose to be vanish to realize, but new karma have been adding to the list, which is the burden for the journey. Still, something from the inner core insisting me 'I AM THAT', I am the oneness, Aham brahmasmi...

Whenever a small awareness happens towards the inner core, I started to realize the path... still, I know only the path but I'm not walking in it. Knowing the path is different than walking in it. Sometimes karma stops me to walk in it, but it can't hold for a long time, the reason being... I AM THAT.

We miss you :(

Dear Prathap and Priya,

Though the days passes like anything, you still in our heart. We really miss you, may you be in peace.

Remembering those days .... Our deep Condolence

Inception - movie review

Inception - the movie, made me to think back again about my dreams. I always do think, what we are seeing is real or not; I wrote similar thought about my dream 'I was walking...'

Now, let me come to the movie review. It is pictured in a great way that anyone can understand the concept of the movie in the first watch itself. And the four level of dreams inside dreams makes cool when the sequence made us to sit tightly to watch. The fight scenes in hotel, happens like without gravity and the reality got lose its own value. All dream sequences makes movie much feaster and fantastic !

Its really 'must watch' ***** category movie... and I plan to watch it again with my friends!

Inception - movie with the thought to play with dreams, the truth is we are not aware of that, this life itself is a DREAM!!!

Wouldn't it be scary ?

Scary Safari

Wouldn't it be scary, if a lion jumped on the bonnet of your car, just several centimeters away of you?
These folks don't seem frightened.

This is the Werribee Open Range Zoo in Victoria, Australia and only the bonnet of the car is inside the glass cage with lions.

What is the law of wild?

The law of the wild says kill only when you are hungry!!! 


Photographer Michel  Denis-Huot, who captured these amazing pictures on safari in Kenya 's Masai Mara in  October last year, said he was astounded by what he saw:

"These three brothers (cheetahs) have been living together since they left their mother at  about 18 months old,' he said. 'On the morning we saw them, they  seemed not to be hungry, walking quickly but stopping sometimes to  play together. 'At one point, they met a group of impala who ran  away. But one youngster was not quick enough and the brothers  caught it easily'".

what nature teach us???? are we really learn something from nature???? certainly not...

'The Karate Kid' - the movie

The Karate Kid

As a hardcore Jackie fan, I did watch this movie as soon as possible, though can't expect much fighting scenes from Jackie, there was one - his favorite fighting sequence (one with multiple persons).

My favorite dialogue: 'If you want to stop it, you have to face it'

There was a great applause in theater when Jakie say 'I will teach you the real Kung-fu' 

Nice movie to watch :)
