I am going Digital!

What is happiness?   Happiness is the state of the mind. It is when we are fresh, relaxed, calm, composed. When we are happy?  When the things go as per our requirement. When we are going out for a movie, when people clap and cheer for us, when we get good marks, when we are in a family function, when our favourite dish is being served. We are happy when our surroundings are happy. And the real happiness is…   Real happiness lies within us. It means that happiness lies inside not outside. Many of us, most of the times, find the happiness in the materialistic things. However, the real happiness lies in small things.Small things means observing nature, spending quality time with family and friends, exercising, helping the needy people, planting saplings or doing anything you like but creative. Thus I end this chapter by saying that happiness has no conditions. We can be happy anytime, anywhere. Will be coming back in a couple of weeks.

What is belief?      It is the trust and confidence you put on someone or something. Why should we believe?     Without putting confidence on something we cannot complete our task with that person or thing. When and where should we believe?     Every time! Everywhere! Whom should we believe?     Yes! That is the biggest question! Now, this question may contradict with the statement which I made  above, which was 'when and where should we believe…every time and every where.’ Therefore there lies some caution. We should understand the difference between believing and blindly believing. We have to figure it out. Ok. Let’s take a few examples. We sit in a flight having the confidence in the pilot. That is blind belief. We get a call from a person claiming to be a bank employee and he asks for your account number and credit card number. Now, this person might be a fraud. Hence, we should cut the conversation immediately.   B...

What else in the lockdown? Oh my God! 2 months of this lockdown have already passed! You might be getting bored at home! Wondering what else to do! Everyday doing regular activities like cooking, reading, watching TV, surfing the net. But, is there anything beyond this? Boredom? Then, I gave a deep thought. What is boredom? When you don’t have anything in your surroundings to entice you. You are fed up of doing the same things every time. So how to get rid of this?? Don’t think of getting bored! One thing is for sure. That is, it will be only a few moments that you will feel bored. Otherwise, in doing the daily chores, which you used to do before also, you might not feel bored. My opinion is ,staying at home, keep yourself engaged in something, even if you do that everyday. Don’t keep on thinking that, I am getting bored. By doing this, you will feel more bored. Energize and engage! You have to energize yourself. This will happen when you do yoga, pranayama and meditation...

What does this represent? How you see this kind of figure? It reminds you of what? For me, it reminds me of a set theory in mathematics. The outer circle is the universal set and the inner circles are the subsets of it. Analogy? As I write this, I came up with an analogy. The entire human race is the outer circle and the inner ones are the human social groups such as religion, culture. Our human society is divided inyo religions and these religions are divided into castes which gets divided into sub castes. Are we one? I do not understand for one part, who created these divisions and why? Even though it is a case, then why we humans are not matured to look beyond it! We are still in the mesh of it. We should better understand that the entire world is becoming a global village. The once geographically separated lands are now coming closer. No!!!Not at all! I am not here to say that don't follow your religion. Instead practice that and have a respect for other cultures...

 Once, there was a rich businessman leaving a five-star hotel. He saw a beggar sitting by a roadside. The man started walking towards him and became aggressive saying “Hey man! How can you rest here in front of a hi-fi hotel! This place is for a rich not for a poor beggar like you!   Upon hearing this in a harsh and an accusative tone, that beggar got up and started walking away. After he took a few steps, the man called him saying “Hey you! Come back here.” The beggar turned back walking towards the man. Then the drama begins…. Man: How you came here? Are there any beggars other than you , roaming in this area? Beggar: I went begging the entire day. I came here to rest. Further, along with me, there are a few beggars in this area but they might have gone away! Man: Ohhh I see!!! Let me take out ½ an hour from your schedule. I want to ask a few things to you. Beggar: Sure, sir. Man: Ok. Here I start. How do you earn your living and manage to live your life in spite of...

See, listen, breath in, nurture only the……                        Gaze at a rising star, Dismiss a warlike war. Listen to a musical voice, Tune out a piercing noise. Breath in the pure, Breath out the sour. Nurture the positive, Rupture the negative. Pleasant and unpleasant?    There are many pleasant and unpleasant things around us. This definition of pleasant and unpleasant varies from person to person. Even our memories are sometimes memorable or sometimes sad. Some colors are bright while some are dusty. A smell is sometimes fragrant, sometimes rodent. A sound is sometimes melodious , sometimes noisy. A surface is sometimes smooth, sometimes rough. A taste is sometimes sour, sometimes sweet. Different situations and different reactions   Like this, the situations in our life are either in favor of or against us. Everybody is happ...

Busy Monday morning!      After a relaxing Sunday, I got up on busy Monday morning. I saw a plethora of things starting from curtains, room doors, clothes stand, wall, lights, bed, fan, ceiling etc etc etc!!! I thought that if I would have been some 500-600 years back then I would have seen a completely different   picture. These things are the technology in itself or are created by technology. ‘We are changing the world with technology’-Steve jobs     The growing technology has completely changed the face of the world. It has put our lives completely on a new track. It has provided much more comfort in our lives. Most of the activities in our life are driven by this advanced technology. Technology like an art is a soaring exercise of human imagination:      Innovation is a by product of human artistry. Humans have gone out of the way to expand their imagination! Thus, through this, technology has taken a birth. ...
