Today s Generation

I had read this blog  whose link is given below a few years back  written by Vinita Dawra , probably that day it didn't make sense . But was just going through again . I'm not here to judge if its right and wrong . Who decides what is right or wrong ? What is right for me may not be right for you . It can vary from place to place , religion to religion . But something to think about .

http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/O-zone/a-conversation-with-today-s-girl/

Lets again not be judgmental about anyone . Each person has the right to follow what he or she wants . Moral Policing should be done in each one s consciousness . At the end of the day , commitment and honesty has its own values  . Once you are committed to someone , stick to that person. Don't keep on jumping from one relationship to another . If you can't be happy with one  person , you can't be happy with anyone unless and until there is a serious need to break up. Relationships do require time and understanding . We are mature individuals and  need to take individual responsibility .

I'm completely against cheating in a relationship  .Article by  Preeti Shenoy  on it  .Link posted below . If you are in relationship , stick to it , no matter what happens. If you want to be with someone else , leave the relationship completely and then go ahead .Never  cheat . Be a one man or one woman person as said  in Jab we Met Movie .

“So far, about morals, I know only that what is moral is what you feel good after and what is immoral is what you feel bad after.” 
― Ernest Hemingway, Death in the Afternoon

Cuteness Personified

This is so damn cute . Interesting article regarding Kids . Couldn't stop sharing the link here

http://mommygolightly.wordpress.com/2014/11/27/all-i-needed-to-know-about-children-i-learnt-from-cats/

Some of the other stuffs  and facts regarding children

1.Never compare children with siblings or friends . Each one is different or Unique . Comparing them makes them really bad . Their self esteem is developed in the initial years , so comparison affects their self esteem .

2. Never put pressure on them to study or for anything . No one works best under pressure. Tell them to put in their best efforts and you don't really care about the marks scored . Do mean what you say .

3. Whatever you asked them to do , please do follow it . If you ask them to be disciplined ,  be punctual , speak the Truth , follow the same .

Truth

“The truth is, once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.” 
― Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Mor

Truth can be sometimes contradictory . It is sometimes better not to say . The above picture says it all . For the greater good and benefit of more people ,  its better not to blurt out .  Forget about it and move on . Don't have any regrets . Even if you have done wrong things in past , forgive yourself and go on .

Currently reading a book called " Tuesdays With Morrie " by Mitch Albom  . Excellent book which speaks about life and death . It speaks about  the importance of love , family  and the art of dying which we most of the time ignore

"Don't let go too soon, but don't hold on too long.” 
― Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie
Sometimes we should know where to let go and where to hold on . When you understand that , you are mature enough .

"Don't cling to things because everything is impermanent.” 

― Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie

Sometimes we cling a lot to people , situations , job etc . We have to realize that everything is impermanent . 

“So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.” 
― Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie

Every sentence in this book is beautiful . I wish to paste everything here but I can't do it  .Its best to read the book  . Some more of the quotes can be found in the link below.

DRAIN

Some people can be a drain in your life . They just drain your energy . If you know any of them , be aware . Some people can lift you up and some people can put you down . Ones who put you down are the DRAINS.

Another category of people can also be put into it . Those who make use of you and be friends only if you are useful to them or during your happy times . Be aware of such people also. Those who make use of you like a tissue paper and throw you in Bin.

Learnings

34 bubblegums and candies by Preeti Shenoy , latest book which I read . Truly beautiful and Inspiring . Lot of learning's . Must Read . Have been watching a few inspiring Videos .Some of the key learning's  mentioned below .

1. Laugh More 

Seriously have people who make you laugh . I'm lucky to have lot of people around me . So treasure those people if you have any .

2. Associate with great Minds 

People whom we associate , we start thinking like them . So be aware with whom you associate .

3. Spend some time in Solitude .

Greatest Ideas come to you when you are alone .

4. Change your beliefs .Change from Victim attitude to leadership attitude.

How to get over someone who doesn't love you

Again Preeti Shenoy rocks . Amazing blog on How to get over someone who doesn't love you
Link posted below

 http://blog.preetishenoy.com/2014/11/how-to-get-over-someone-who-does-not.html

Some of the other things which really help are .

1. Do the Art of living Course .

2. Find someone who loves you . There are more than a billion people around . You deserve a much better person

I still don't understand How can you like someone who doesn't like you . If the person is no more , then its a different Story . But that also can be handled in a better way .

When your dear ones are abroad and when they call you , we tell them everything is fine here even if there are few issues. Similarly  when someone has left the body , we need to be  stable and send vibrations of peace , love . This in turn will help them settle in new birth .  Instead if we are in pain , it will create disturbance in their lives . So lets accept the situation and send them vibrations of peace and love .

Whats the purpose of my life

Interesting read about the Purpose of Life

http://bawandinesh.name/whats-the-purpose-of-my-life/

Again and again , we need to keep asking ourselves . Probably one day it mite be clear . At least its not to get into meaningless relationships . This picture  says it all . If you have any meaningless relationships , don't continue it

Gift yourself

Read a article today in paper that vegans weigh less than non vegetarians . So the best way to lose weight ... GO  VEG  !!!!

I was talking  to a colleague other day who smokes regularly . I asked him what do you get by Smoking ?? And Immediately he posed a question to me "What do I get by Shopping ? "  It mite seem a smart answer . But you only lose money when you shop ,  you lose your health and Money when you smoke .

Majority of the problems  in  the country like rape etc are caused due to drinking . People lose their senses when they drink . If you are one among those who drink or smoke ,Don't worry  ,there is a solution .Trust Me .

 Details of the course  mentioned below . Do register or  get your near ones registered . Its best gift which you can give them or yourself .

Women Empowerment

Beautiful video on Women Empowerment by Lata Mangeshkar and AR Rahman . Link Posted below. Worth watching it .Woman aren't weak . She has the power to achieve anything .

http://www.storypick.com/ar-rahman-lata-mangeshkar-song/

Sometimes today s women become so vulnerable for whatever reasons. She should take a oath that she wouldn't be weak and would never allow anyone to walk over her. She should be strong enough to fight injustice and not be a victim to any guy . She shouldn't get into a relationship if the guy isn't serious and not ready for commitment .

During one of the AOL sessions , I was told to do a self study and write my life story and give 5 advice to myself . I won't put my life story , will put 5 advice here

1. Be strong . Never fall prey to your weaknesses .

2. Don't be a victim to circumstances and take action when required .

3. Don't have too much junk food and exercise regularly.

4. Don't waste too much time complaining , cribbing and social media .

5. Be happy and make others happy . 

White Tiger

“See, the poor dream all their lives of getting enough to eat and looking like the rich. And what do the rich dream of?? Losing weight and looking like the poor.” 
― Aravind Adiga, The White Tiger

Latest Book which I read is White Tiger by Arvind Adiga .It kept me hooked  on . Really Interesting Read .Had a great time reading it . It bought tears to my eyes . It depicts the real India which we usually don't see or which we cover it. Corruption , bribery is everywhere . Rather than complaining, we need to make  a change . We should not encourage it in any way and bring as much awareness as possible .

It is also how the rich treat the poor and lot of other interesting stuffs . Definitely a good read .  I read somewhere that people who read are much smarter than others . So here goes another reason for you to read . Another thing which I learnt from the story is "Keep your eyes and ears always open " .We get to learn a lot from that .

“It's amazing. The moment you show cash, everyone knows your language.” 
― Aravind Adiga, The White Tiger

 “I was looking for the key for years
But the door was always open” 
― Aravind Adiga, The White Tiger

Wishing that child a Happy children s day.

Soul to Soul Communication is Silence

" Love is the greatest Power on Earth " -Sri Sri

Weaknessess

Had been to temple on Tuesday  . Again reinforcing myself , why do we go to temples . Usually we go ending up begging something .  Lets  for a change go to temples or Satsangs to reduce our weaknesses . Each person has a different weakness and we need to work on it . I'm not gonna blurt out my weaknesses here , but you can drop a comment and let me know what are you doing about your weaknesses .

Moment of Truth

“The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.”

― Albert Einstein
