My Thoughts

  A man with eight doctorate degrees met a monk. He was proud of his achievement. The monk asked him: "Why have you been so foolish in life?" The man said, "But... you don’t understand! I have eight PhDs". The monk said: "I have understood you; it is foolish to spend the best part of life reading instead of enjoying the birds, the stars and the moon". One may have all the know-ledge but not clarity. One may know a lot and yet understand nothing. There is a difference between knowing and understanding. Swami Sukhabodhananda  says , Not knowing the difference between understanding and knowing leads to confusion. You have many centres: intellectual, emotional and physical. In each there is a mechanical and magnetic part. The mechanical part acts like a machine while the magnetic part acts with more awareness. You have to transform yourself. Your mechanical movements and thinking have to change. One’s mechanical likes and dislikes have to change, too. Mechanic...

  All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity : But the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes to make it possible." T.E. Lawrence Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe. (Gail Devers) Dreams are like stars...you may never touch them, but if you follow them they will lead you to your destiny.

  Dear friends I was just reading the review on Tinkle,written by my friend Nithin,I was recollecting the golden memories of my school day.Let me share a beautiful story with a great moral.I think most of you have read this story.Its worth reading twice. In a small village in the valley, there lived a man who was always happy, kind, and well disposed to everyone he met. He always smiled and had a kind and encouraging word to say whenever necessary. Everyone who met him left feeling, better, happier and elated. People knew they could count on him, and regarded him as a great friend. One of the village dwellers was curious to know what his secret was, how could he be always so kind and helpful? How is it that he held no grudge towards anyone and was always happy? Once, upon meeting him in the street he asked him: "Most people are selfish and unsatisfied. They do not smile as often as you do; neither are they as helpful or kind as you are. How do you explain it?" "When you ...

  March 23 is the Shahidi Divas ( Martyrs day ) of  Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev & Rajguru.  But Iam very sorry to say That These martyrs who should be source of inspiration for today’s youth are hardly remembered, giving clear picture of total ignorance..not a single line written or spoken by anyone. Bhagat Singh,Sukhdev & Rajguru  are the symbol of the heroism for youth of India.While Bhagat Singh continues to remain an icon for modern day Indian youth, the fact that needs to be underlined is that he and his associates acquired the status of living legends even in their brief life time. During the freedom struggle there were numerous revolutionaries but there was something special about Bhagat Singh and his compatriots and he became the synonym of the revolutionary and is aptly referred as  ‘Shaheed-E-Azam’.  The Shahidi Divas is not the day of sorrow but day of pride and national honour. It was to honour the fact that they sacrificed their life to free ...

  The Musical Nite "  Anokhi Raat Rafi Ke Naam " By Star Voice of India Singer  Zakir Hussain  was an evenning with magic woven in the air by songs once sung by the legendary Mohammad Rafi. One after the other, the performers tried to imitate the maestro and regaled the audience. Some copied his range. Others came out with Rafi like reach of the crescendo and resilience to the base. The audiences were in for a surprise as an evergreen voice from the yore took the stage again, rekindling memories and melodies of an era gone by.The crowd enjoyed this musical feast. The Musical show was attended by thousand plus gathering and another Five hundred odd waiting to gain entry, The crowd was completely enchanted by the immortal Rafi numbers and enjoyed without a much noise. The organisers never anticipated such a crowd and had to double the number of seats at the last minute. Organised by the  Vastav groups , The singers of a professional orchestra rendered around twent...

I want my son to leave in  religious harmony  in a Secular India.Religious harmony in India is a subject of great importance for the reason that it is this country which had suffered the most due to religious riots, religious disparities and caste differences. Interfaith harmony and consciousness of the essential unity of all religions is the ver...
