Stepping into an Unknown World !!!!

(This article is for all those people in this world who steps into an Unknown World from a Known World)


Dream scattered as if someone throws a stone in the crystal walls. Tried to join the glass pieces to create one mirror. Rather showing one image, it shows the multiple facets of life.

Stepping Into an Unknown World !!!!

10th May 2010…….Stepping into an Unknown World…..Unknown World may be a vast ocean, full of water. Fishes of the Vast Ocean want you to plunge into the water. At the beginning your team is not there to swim along with you, Your team is not there to hold your hand when you face a tide of an ocean, you need to face the tide of an ocean alone. Let the tide of an ocean knows you are not alone , your skills and experience there to face even the storm . Within few days you will find few fishes of the ocean tried to follow you, some fishes will be there to know you, some tried to judge you, some might use you, some might be your well-wisher, some might irritate you……enjoy each and every moment of fishes…..Dont look back and slow the pace of your momentum, follow your instinct and create your own direction and enjoy and play with the Dolphins (Work).

Unknown World may be an Open Desert and you are standing alone holding a Kaliedoscope in your hand trying to search for a direction and way. Hardly you will see someone who guides you like your previous team members. But don’t stand still and hold sand in your hand tightly, it will slipped out. Don’t close your eyes, move on and move on……the desert is full of oasis…..take the beautiful snap of oasis in the desert. Let your unknown world be full of oasis. In this world your inspiration, she will not stand infront of you to show the way, she will always behind you. Since few years you are following her now its your turn to do something for her. Show her the oasis.

Unknown world may be a chess board where so many homo sapiens stand and gaze you . The way they gaze you depends upon their experience but you need to know the frequency of the level of their gazeness. Don’t allow your frontal lobe to loose temper easily, let the temper knows that you believe more in patience. Don’t enter into an unknown world and take ten steps like an elephant or an horse in the chess board. Be a king, take each and every step with careful and confident manner. Wait and watch your unknown world be full of excitement and enjoyment.

Congratulation for stepping into an Unknown World……

All the Best for Changing the Unknown world into a known world…….

What happens next is a dream !!!!!!!

What happens Next is a Dream ?

The above title is from one of the famous Hollywood Romantic Movie “Notting Hill” and I like the movie…everyone should watched it…..It motivates me to write further about this line “what happen Next is a Dream”?

Just imagine you are travelling in an Lufthansa Airline from India to Boston for studying MBA from Harvard University and your plane crashed just like the plane crashed in an Hollywood Inspirational and adventurous movie “Cast Away” and you found yourself into a mid oa an island and you have nowhere to go then what will you do ? You are the only one person in that island and even you don’t know swimming….I know the situation allow you to forgot your dream and in that particular situation your priority would be just to survive in that island.

Huh….Huh ….suddenly somebody pour water into your eyes and you will find yourself in your ac conditioned room and you will realize it’s a dream . your dream is not to be an MBA because you already completed your dream and you wanted to be a painter….
The above example of crazy dream shows that dream is something which tool us into an unimaginable different world. The future of our life is just like our dream. We don’t know what happens next….whether it’s a beautiful dream or a weird dream or a crazy dream……..

Just like the Auro (13 year old boy suffers from Proseria) from PAA movie released on 2009, painted the globular world into white color, let we also paint our whole future into white color. Let me close my eyes and see a beautiful dream for my future life.

Bullets already triggered from the gun of Gabbar Singh,Time now to run like Kajol in DDLJ and catch the train but consequences stand in between just like kareena in Jab we Met, I miss the train. But here the situation is different Shahid is not there to hold my hand and to walk along with me in the streets of ratlam…..but somehow I tried to started my journey into that same train, situation pull my hand and pur me inside the same jail. Here in this jail there is no partney like the Amitabh and Dharmendra in Sholay movie to runaway to watch Hrithik roshan in Kite movie.
Gabbar shouted “Ab tera Kya hoga re Kalia”…….

Suddenly someone pour water into my eyes and said……
Wake up my bird……Caged bird never sing the song of Solomon……Fly my bird with my own wings…….

What happens next is really a dream……………….

Memoirs is Mine !!!!!!!!!

One fine morning I found myself inside a wardrobe. A wardrobe full of colorful paintings, in one corner of the wardrobe there is a dilemma painting, while on the other side painting named soul curry was residing. I was waiting to find out a painting based on colorful kites but I found a painting of a girls dancing. Let the whole wardrobe be full of painting…….Life would be more colorful.

Everyday…..Everywhere….

The reflection of the street light during the night while the cacophony of the chirping birds during the day time mesmerizes the whole week after week. ….

The colorful T-shirt wants to wrap me while the blue and white blanket wants me to hide inside it….

The fragrance of the perfume and the dry flowers of the flower vase rejuvenate my mind and soul to feel and enjoy the moments of life….

The Rhythm of the heart beat and the crazy feelings of happiness make me to behave like a dumbo….

The aroma of the lavender colored soaps and the beauty of the painting having orange colorful leaves on trees create a sensational feeling inside me…..

The softness of the two hugging bears and the small size bed covered with colorful bed sheet dipped me into an enchanting kind of feeling.

The taste of the morning sweet tea and the spicy taste of the evening poori’s enough to make and feel jealous to the paper colorful fatty champi hanging inside the wardrobe…..

The dirt inside the laptop and the liquid inside the colin bottle irritates me create an allergic kind of feeling…..

The cuteness of the bear wearing pink kappa T-shirt and the tenderness of the person holding sandwiches in the photos make me to “stand-still”….

The marbles of the taj-mahal and the baby elephant inside a big elephant brings a caring kind of feeling…..

The Black Bossini and the white royal heritage inside the wardrobe makes each moment lavishly….

Holding lens of the camera, focusing on the memories, switching on the light, omitting the lines of afraidness makes me to feel secure inside the wardrobe…..

One fine evening holding an oil canvas having black door inside the taj, tears inside my eyes , holding red diaries carrying pebbles on my hand vanish all my future dream inside the wardrobe……

Next day when I open my eyes , situation switch off the light, I found myself inside a different wardrobe where there is only one painting hanging inside the door of it…..The painting says “Life is beautiful” …then what if it is written in black marker in a black board .

Memoirs is Mine!!!!!!!!!!!

“Hungry lion inside a cage”

Standing alone inside a cage, where there is no door to move on and when I look up at the sky , I found “Sky is the limit” and I have no options to choose rather than going inside a cage.

Sometimes Just like others, even I want to run like a jaguar in an open jungle but situation wants me to be like a frog inside a well which is always dark. Since childhood I was just like a frog inside a well who knows nothing about the outside world but knows everything inside a well. I was the leader among other frog of that well. One day I got a chance to come out from the well and when I stand and open my eyes, I saw so many are there in the Cat family. I tried to compete with them. During the race so many times I fell down, I was all alone. So many are there to pull me back to go inside the same well where I came from but some how I succeeded while competing with the Cat family. I was able to create a place for me in the CAT family. But still I want to fly like a bird.

I learned to identify the characteristic of the person who are there in the cat family. Each and everyone have their own stripes. Lion, Tiger, Leopard, Jaguar, Cheetahs, ordinary cats etc…. situations want me to be a king just like a lion in the cat family but that time I played as an ordinary cat. Situation wants me to stand in front of a lion, the king the winner of the cat family, I was able to see , how the winner enjoy the shades of the beautiful colors of their life while I was struggling to come out from the shades of black and white. Everything seems to be grey.

Whenever I knock the door to enjoy a cup of milk by closing my eyes, situation close the door. I was afraid to fight with the wolf and jackals who stand in front of me as a social animal. God knows the name of their family. Standing alone in an open dark jungle, I tried to go back into the same well because I was afraid of darkness In an open jungle.

One day while going back, coincidentally I met with a tiger. I thought to run away but he stands in front of me and shows me a direction where to go, How to go……? Within a short frame of time, I have seen him in a different way. Sometimes he stands in front of me as an ordinary cat with white and grey stripes. Sometimes his thoughts run like a jaguar and he used to share with me. Sometimes he led as a leader just like a lion in a jungle and wants me to follow him. He speaks about cat family in an event? How could a person change his stripes so frequently and manage to stand in front of an ordinary cat?

Rather looking back, I started following him. I felt proud to be in the cat family of an open jungle. I started enjoying the open environment. I got a chance to change my stripes frequently. I got recognition, appreciation and rewards for my activities. But……

One fine morning, I visited the zoo. I was just Imagining the situation of a hungry lion in a zoo .That time I got a call and situation again put me inside a cage just like a lion in a zoo. Here I know when to go….but i don’t know how to go inside a cage?

Move On

Move On!!! It’s quite easy to say Move on, when things were in still motion. It’s being a long time that I have ever move along with my thoughts. But the memories give me a reason to move when there is numbness in my thoughts.

It’s quite difficult to convince someone. Though it’s not easy to live alone in this world but each and every one is having their own destiny and the destiny controls by their own fate. Stubbornness is good but sometimes it leaves a scar in a relationship and that scar mark is enough to spoil the beautiful relationship. Relationship begins with a trust and if trust is there then there is no end of relationship. If end is there, then that end will be for a new beginning. New beginning does not end the old relationship of soul mates. It keeps on adding new responsibilities for their soul mates.

New beginning brings new hopes into a relationship. New hope brings respect for the life partners. I always believe in giving something to a relationship. Though the philosophy is difficult to understand but sometimes the universal truth itself says “I am wrong”. It is the problem of the individual not to believe the most powerful human values truth.

I tried to convince my heart to express my feeling but it says, go and fulfill your responsibilities “I am always there with you”. Destiny erased my dream with an eraser. I tried to close my eyes again and will see a beautiful dream again but the two eyelashes do not hug each other, may be they were also surrounded by situation.
Every day I saw a dream with my open eyes. Though I have no right to saw a day dream, but today I would like to share my dream. Capture each and every moment of today, so that I would like to see when situation will be in my favor. Skills help to build a foundation to a new relationship. When time and opportunity is there, don’t waste it by regretting about the situation. Today situation demand to depart from each other, one day same situation allow to stand and will say “Life is Beautiful”

Never cry and allow situation to control. Let you control the situation. You and I always there in each and every modes of life. Cheer up and have a nice time.
My life is just like a painting, my real and practical world is just like painting in black and white, and while my imaginative world is just painting in colorful one and most of the time I believe in imaginative world. We have to decide whether we would like to be a part of black and white or colorful painting.

We are free to fly like a bird and choose our own option. Life is Beautiful

Move on!!!

Ways to Find Inspiration for Your Life


“You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.” - Jack London
I’ve compiled a list of some of my favorite ways of finding inspiration — some of them obvious, some of them less so. But it’s always good to have reminders, and if you haven’t used a few of these sources of inspiration in awhile (or ever), give them a go.

1. Books. 

Maybe my favorite overall. I read writers I love and then I steal from them, analyze their writing, get inspired by their greatness. Non-Fiction is my favorite. You just might find new inspiration.

2. Overheard dialog.

If I’m anywhere public, whether it be at a park or a mall or my workplace, sometimes I’ll eavesdrop on people. Not in a gross way or anything, but I’ll just keep quiet, and listen. I love hearing other people have conversations. Sometimes it doesn’t happen on purpose — you can’t help but overhear people sometimes. If you happen to overhear a snippet of interesting dialog, jot it down in your writing journal as soon as possible. It can serve as a model or inspiration.

3. Magazines. 

Good magazines aren’t always filled with great writing, but you can usually find one good piece of either fiction or non-fiction. Good for its writing style, its voice, its rhythm and ability to pull you along to the end. These pieces inspire me. And bad magazines, while perhaps not the best models for writing, can still be inspirations for ideas for good blog posts. These magazines, as they don’t draw readers with great writing, find interesting story angles to attract an audience.

4. Movies. 

Sometimes, while watching a movie, a character will say something so interesting , Sometimes screenwriters can write beautiful dialog. Other times I get inspired by the incredible camera work, the way that a face is framed by the camera, the beauty of the landscape captured on film.

5. Forums. 

When people write on forums, they rarely do so for style or beauty (there are exceptions, of course, but they’re rare). Forumers are writing to convey information and ideas. Still, those ideas can be beautiful and inspiring in and of themselves. They can inspire more ideas in you. I’m not saying you have to read a wide array of forums every day, but if you’re looking for information, trawling some good forums isn’t a bad idea.

6. Music. 

Along the same lines, it can be inspiring to download and play great music, from Mozart to Beethoven to the Beatles to Radiohead. Play it in the background .

7. Friends. 

Conversations with my friends, in real life, on the phone or via IM, have inspired They stir up my ideas, contribute ideas of their own, and they fuse into something even more brilliant than either of us could have created.

8. Quotes. 

I don’t know why it’s so, but great quotes help inspire me. I like to go to various quote sites to find ideas, turns of phrase that show what can be done with the language, motivation for self-improvement.

9. Nature. 

Stuck for ideas? Go for a walk or a jog. Get away from sidewalks and into grass and trees and fields and hills. Appreciate the beauty around you, and let the inspiration flow through you. Sunsets and sunrises, of course, are two of my favorite uplifting scenes of nature, and anything involving water is also awesome (oceans, rivers, lakes, rain, rivulets, even puddles).

10. History. 

It can be unexpected, but great people in history can inspire you to greatness. My favorites include Benjamin Franklin, Gandhi, Abraham Lincoln, Helen Keller, Leonardo da Vinci, and other greats.

11. Travel.

Whether it be halfway around the world, or a day trip to the next town or national park, getting out of your usual area and discovering new places and people and customs can be one of the best inspirations .Use these new places to open up new ways of seeing.

12. Children. 

I used to play with kids, and they are my favorite people in the world . I love to spend quiet time with them, taking walks or reading. I love to have fun with them, playing board games or having pillow fights. I suggest that children, with their fresh outlook on the world, can change the way you view things.

13. Newspapers.

The news seems like an endless cycle of the same thing, happening over and over again. However, if you know how to look, you can find human-interest stories that are inspiring. 

14. Dreams. 

I’m not very good at this, sometimes in my life I’ve tried keeping a dream journal by my bedside and writing down what I can remember when I wake up. Not because I think it’ll tell me something about myself or my future or past, but because dreams are so interesting in their complete disregard for the rules of reality, for their otherworldness and plot twists.NOwaday I am not doing this.

15. Writing journal. 

It doesn’t have to be fancy, or something you write in every day. Just a plain notebook will do, although a nice journal can be motivating. Write down thoughts and inspirations and quotes and snippets of good writing you find and pieces of dialog and plot ideas and new characters. Then go back to this journal when you need ideas or inspiration.

16. Google. 

Stuck for ideas? The old standby, Google, has often helped me out. I’ll just search for the topic I’m thinking about and find tons of great resources.

17. Freewriting. 

One of the best ways to get unstuck if you’re uninspired. Just start writing. Anything. It doesn’t matter. Don’t edit, don’t pause, don’t think. Just write and let it flow. You’ll end up with a lot of garbage, probably, but it’ll help you get out of your rut and you might just write some really good stuff among all that garbage.

18. Breaking your routines.

Get out of your rut to see things from a new perspective. If you usually take one route to work, try a couple others. If you usually get up, get ready for work, and leave, try exercising in the morning or watching the sunrise. If you usually watch TV at the end of the day, try reading or writing instead. Shake things up.

19. Success stories.

Another of my favorites. I read all kinds of success stories of people People watching. This is an interesting activity for any writer. Go to a busy public place and just sit and watch people. They’ll amuse you, inspire you, fascinate you. There’s nothing more inspiring than humanity.

Origin of word Sensex.


 

Once while doing research on the “Most common words used in the Financial Market” all over the world, my mind was toggling around the word SENSEX. Then I started research on the “Origin of the word  Sensex”. After doing that I came to know the man behind the word Sensex , Mr Deepak Mohoni.

 

Ø  Sensex  stands for passion, ambition, prosperity, foresight and risk.

Ø  The word Sensex coined by the CEO of Trendwatch India Mr  Deepak Mohoni (an IIT and IIM pass-out).

Ø  Little did Deepak Mohoni know that his coinage Sensex would assume so much significance in the times to come.

Ø  He admits that it was for reasons of clear simplicity that he abbreviated the word that went on to become a sensation. “I had to type two words for writing sensitive index. So for ease, I christened it Sensex for my columns in 1989,” says Mr Mohoni whose columns used to appear in publications.

Ø  Until the mid 1990, no one except Mr Mohoni used the word Sensex.

Ø  Journalists and writers later on began accepting and using this word in their articles, he claims.

Ø  “The Bombay Stock Exchange, in fact, started using it in their publications much later, after 1995 or 1996,” he said. Its popularity has risen so much that the Bombay Stock Exchange is looking to patent this sexy and sensational Sensex.

Ø  In the early nineties, there was no India story and the GDP was about 3-4%. It was a different stock market with very less participation.But now even a graduate student wants to know the figures of the word Sensex, its being such a huge sensational topic all over the world.

 

“Little did people know that his doings would assume so much significance in the times to come.” Keep doing little things………like Mr.Deepak Mohoni
