Zeal to reach the Zenith of life by touching the Nadir.

“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

Books i am Talking about You



Dear Book Lovers,


I try to read 60 new books a year. But it's unusual for me to remember salient details about books. I have to try quite hard.

Example: once, someone asked me 'Have you read White Tiger By Aravind Adiga?'. He said 'Did you like it? What did you think?' I couldn't remember. I couldn't even remember the name of the main character.

Life is too short to go re-reading everything, so I find it useful to write about the things I read.

Recently i have read one book "Secret By Rhonda Byrne"

Book Review The Secret by Rhonda Byrne

First off, I must say it’s a very attractive book.. It has 10 chapters, the biographies of the contributors and is 198 pages.


The chapters are as follows: 

  • The Secret Revealed
  • The Secret Made Simple
  • How to Use The Secret
  • Powerful Processes
  • The Secret to Money
  • The Secret to Relationships
  • The Secret to Health
  • The Secret to the World
  • The Secret to You

“The Secret” is about the law of attraction, or “as a man think, so shall he reap…” The Secret speaks of taking responsibility for ourselves and learning to go inside ourselves for happiness rather than counting on someone else or some new situation to make us happy.

Have you ever made any of the following statements to yourself? 

”If only I had more money, then I could do what I wanted to do and be happy.” 
”If only I could only loose this excess weight, then I’d be happy.”
”If only I had a romantic partner, then my life would be perfect.”

If you have ever said any of these statements to yourself (and we all have!) then you are looking toward something outside yourself to make you happy. Honestly, it’s all already inside of us! We don’t need anything to make us happy, we can do that on our own.

If you think this sounds too good to be true, well, you’re right. It is. But it doesn’t change the fact that it works! 

Honestly, “The Secret” isn’t the first book to come up with the theory of the law of attraction, and any internet search will come up with thousands of articles and books on the subject. But it’s the first I’ve seen to put the law of attraction so simply. And it’s the first I’ve ever seen that has had so many quotes from so many sources (including the Bible) and so many contributors, including scientists, doctors, life and business coaches, authors, ministers, and metaphysicians from both the past and the present.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is finally ready to make lasting changes in their life. I will be the first to admit that sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in our dramas. But our dramas only bring us more of the same. The Secret helps us to create a new way of thinking so that instead of attracting those same old dramas, we attract happiness and the life we’ve always dreamed of.
