s-IND-u: yeS INDIA is proud of U....

I did not move an inch, I was just holding my hands just like how it was when last point was taken. I was looking at God’s photo and praying for every point. “Oh God! Please give strength to her to win the game”. Yes it was for Sindhu, just like me, many of us might have prayed for her. Before this I had never seen Sindhu’s game. When I read about her in the newspaper, respect for her automatically increased multi folded.

Though she lost in the finals, considering the kind of facilities we have in INDIA, she has achieved beyond the expectations. Here attitude in the game was simply marvelous. Fighting spirit of her was amazing. In all the three sets beginning she was behind by 7 to 8 points, but she did come back with Great Spirit. Till last point she never gave up. If I compare both the finalists, Marina was little better in her smashes and that got her gold. Otherwise Sindhu played equally well. There were very few unforced errors. Kind of aggression Sindhu showed, many of us really felt goose bumps.

Commitment from her and her family is fantastic. Her father has taken 8 months leave to support his daughter’s preparation for Olympics! Sindhu has not touched mobile phone for 3 months and has not eaten favorite ice cream and sweet curd for 3 months!! I was speechless, when her coach Gopichand had tears of joy for his student’s accomplishment. He mentioned, since 3 months, I have not given her mobile phone, today I am giving back mobile phone to her. Imagine she is just 21 years and without mobile phone for 3 months!  When we are in a situation where we can’t live without whatsup, gmail, youtube, facebook, twitter etc even for a minute, that’s great sacrifice, considering her age and amount of influence she will have from her friends, family & media. She used to travel 60 KMs daily at 4AM for the practice!!! When we find it so difficult to get up at 6AM and goto office of 10-15KM to reach at 8.30AM to work in AC cabins!

That’s the beauty of passion with great inner and external expectations!! Except that Olympic gold nothing else seem important to her & her family. When we have such goal in mind, whatever problems we face doesn’t seem important. Thank God, she reached final and we got to know about all her sacrifices and efforts. Otherwise media wouldn’t have revealed all these. Always they are behind winning horses only.

Not just media, everyone is like that only. Except friends, most of the people come to you only when YOU ARE A WINNING HORSE!! That’s the greatest truth of life. And also YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE against ALL ODDS only when YOU HAVE CLEAR SET GOAL. Since few days, I have been thinking on one thing, with what sense of feeling I would like to retire at the age of 60!! I am not getting any clarity on what is that I want to be by then. At office work, we keep having clear set goals and we keep achieving in spite of all hurdles, because of external expectations set on us.

What is that you want to be known as at 60?

Co(a)n fusion!!??

One true thing about most of us is we are all confused in life. Most of us would not know where are we heading towards in life, what is that we would want to achieve in life. I am also one of those victim, who is thoroughly confused, not knowing clearly, what is that I want to do in life!

Nowadays life is full of multiple options! and also it is fast zamana. May be because of that, I don’t know. But really our mind is like monkey only. What do we think of becoming one moment, would change to something else in next moment. Same is the case with me as well. One day, I would think of becoming lyricists/writer, so all my energy should go into that. For some days, would give time on the same. Will keep writing songs and articles. Would read lot of books on Kannada literature to improve my language. Would attend weekend book releases, would read articles on improving writing. Would work towards publication of my next book. Would be dreaming of next book release for some days.  Also would be dreaming of music album release with all my songs in it.

Then suddenly one day, if someone becomes sick, would be triggered to become healer. I have learnt so many healing techniques, why am I not utilizing those? I should be of some help to society. It will be of great satisfaction, I should do. For some days, I would be working towards that, will attend some workshops or watch related videos and read related stuffs. Would be using different healing techniques to heal family members, friends and myself. Then suddenly, some day some article related to human mind power would trigger me, oh! I have to do R&D on psychic power, this is my favorite subject. I have to show to the world that, we have so much of psychic power in us, with proper techniques and practice anybody can utilize psychic power and make their life beautiful. During that time, would be trying to enhance my abilities towards that, would watch lot of videos and would read a lot on that subject. Would be on different cloud altogether. Would be observing people a lot to understand what might be going on in their mind, how are their thoughts, how it might be affecting themselves and others. How are my thoughts, how am I creating, how am I affecting others. Will be more intuitive for some days, will be creating whatever I want in life through the power of law of attraction.

Then after some days, may be because of some incident, would think of achieving in software industry itself. No its not fair, I have been in this industry for more than a decade, I should goto next level, I have to focus on improving myself as a software professional, I have to enhance my skills. All these days, I have not put proper efforts to improve myself professionally, this is the high time, I should do. Comparing myself with others, I would spend some sleepless nights. Would spend time working towards improving myself. Then when I am getting hold of something, then suddenly,  some problems for which there are no solutions in personal life would through the challenge at me, bringing me down to the deepest possible way. Some days would go in recovery mode, where mix of all above desires in life would keep me going on in life. After some days would be happy that, now I can focus on one thing, this time will plan this and execute. The day I decide on something like that, there starts the crisis at office!! Forget about desires of life, I would not be able to think anything about myself and family! Would get into a kind of situation, we would not be knowing that, we are breathing!

Not sure when will I come out of trap of confused state!!

Gift A Smile…

It has been a very good day today for me and the reason being biggest festival for any individual – i.e birthday!

This day is so special in every one’s life, no matter what they are? Where they are in life? This day becomes a special occasion of celebration, irrespective of the ongoing situation in life.

Yeah, right, we generally celebrate it. However means of celebration varies from person to person.

Whatever may be the individual’s means of celebration, family, friends, and colleagues are the ones who bring real happiness. Our existence is made special by them.

We all alone cannot make our life beautiful. We all need these well wishers surrounded by us. Atleast on this day, by God’s grace, people are choosy in their words to make other person happy!

Every one wishing on birthday shows how important is our existence, how much valued is our existence, how much loved is our existence and how lucky to have that existence. Do we really value our existence? Nowadays many people, students/youngsters especially don’t know the value of their existence, just for silly reasons, they commit suicide to end their life. I feel very sorry for them for not knowing the value of life.

Coming back to celebration, it’s so nice that, everyone tries to bring smile on others on this very occasion; they try to gift a smile. In return one who is celebrating also gifts a smile. The positive energy it brings is tremendous. Whole environment gets changed with lot of positive energy.

When was the last time you brought smile in father’s face, mother’s face, brother or sister’s face? Or any loved ones for that matter? It’s not something to be hard to remember! Answer should be every day or always…J

More we give…More we get back, that’s the beauty of smile…J

Why don’t we think, every other day is also a day to be celebrated and every other day is also as much as important as possible for gifting the smile?

Finding answers to this question has become so complex that we forget the very purpose of life.

How good are we in gifting a smile to others? Never know, it can save one life…

Be like a child to gift a smile…

Celebrate Life…

Keep Smiling…

Close some doors to your past so you can open better brighter doors to your future;

Are we listening to it?

“Excuse me; can you turn your father this side? Need to give injection” Nurse asked when I was immersed in reading book. “Yeah sure” I replied and helped my father to turn left side. She gave injection and went. I took a while for me to turn him straight again. After that again, I started reading which I was reading since the time I came here. Book was so interesting, impact of emergency ward was not bothering me. Book took me to philosophical ride, though my father has not taken any risk in his life, but still lying on a bed in emergency ward. How can it be? I was not able to digest the fact.

                The Book, which I was reading was auto biography of an individual who took risks at every step of his life and most of the time, came out in flying colors. Till reading this book, I was also used to think on the lines that, taking risks in life gives tension and pressure so we should not take risk. Because of this always used to choose the safe way. Did not take much risks in life, even while playing cricket also never took any risks, style of batting was early Drawid’s.

                No matter, whether we take risk in life or not, if something good or bad has to happen, it will definitely happen. Best example is life of the person whose auto biography I was reading, its none other than Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Mobile, Virgin Music, Virgin Airlines and many more. When I started reading his book, i couldn’t keep it down. Certainly all the incidents happened throughout his life are hair raising acts. You will never imagine taking such risks even in dream also. Whatever he used to get as profit, used to put everything into new business and also used to get loan from banks. I guess, he might be the only millionaire businessman to be in debt for such a long duration and he might be only person to get such huge loans from so many different banks daringly and with such confidence. He  might be only person to put himself into such huge risks of going all around the world in helium hot balloon that too over pacific ocean, Atlantic ocean, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Himalaya.  Can any one imagine?

                Until and unless we listen to our gut feeling will not be able to take risk in life. Until and unless we take risk in life, we will not be able to taste success. We have to be adventurous to experience the thrill of life.

Are we listening to it?
