Rest in peace Dr . Abdul Kalam . He was a good human being and he deserves a good farewell .

Some of   quotes by Kalam sir mentioned below

"If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher."

"English is necessary as at present original works of science are in English. I believe that in two decades times original works of science will start coming out in our languages. Then we can move over like the Japanese."

"You have to dream before your dreams can come true."

Lets Support

Its some days in my life when I feel I have truly lived , Yesterday  was one of them . We had this CSR activity at office  (CSR is Corporate Social Responsibility  ) , where kids from a underprivileged   school were bought to office . They were all so excited . There were 20 kids mostly in their 5th and 6th Standards . We had to escort them to the 7th floor in lift . Some of the kids were literally scared in lift. Some of them sat down in lift. We had to ensure them that nothing is gonna happen .

They all loved the place . We had the floor walk  , showed the the entire floor . They were interacting with employees that too in English , probably they were told that you had to speak only in English . Their energy and enthusiasm was unbeatable . They were too excited . Probably something which we have all lost in our lives -energy , enthusiasm and  excitement in fulfilling our dreams and ambitions .

Then we had a video conferencing session . 10 kids in one room and other 10 kids in another room , making them understand the technology . Not sure whether they understood technology , they definitely had a lot of fun seeing their friends on TV.

Finally ,  we gave them our laptops so that they could play some games and they did enjoy the most .
They were really good at it and lastly wonderful lunch . All these kids had big dreams , just hope it gets fulfilled and they  become pillars of the country . They all wanted to grow up and work in a IT company . Lets do whatever bit we can to support their dreams .

Return of relationships

Cute Olx Ad representing true relationship .

Even in the movie , Tanu weds Manu , Kangna choses Manu or Madhavan instead of Jimmy Shergil for the sole reason that he doesn't customize her . He accepts her the way she is . This is what is required in a relationship . Is it too much to ask for ????? Do not try to change someone unless its really harming them or anyone else.

This picture says it all . Give more compliments rather than blaming or criticizing in a relationship

Raise ethical and empathetic children

Whenever you find yourself in the wrong story, leave! You have the power to change your life story.-Girin Govind (Art of Living Teacher)

Can we teach our children to be a little more polite so that when they grow up , so that they don't hurt others.

This article below says it all.

Heard a starfish story , where a boy and his grand dad were walking near a beach . Some of the start fishes were lying in sand as the waves bought them and they would die in sometime. Small boy started picking star fishes one by one and threw it back into the beach . Grand dad asked what difference does it make . Small boy held one star fish and told it will make a difference to this one.

Similarly in our lives , we may think what difference does it make if I don't pollute the environment or if I hurt someone or if I don't pay bribe . It does make a huge difference . So lets create a positive wave chain rather than being instrument to hurt others. Lets teach our children also the same .

Courage

Courage is the ability to confront situations when required and ability to tolerate situations . We need to be aware when to confront and when to tolerate . If we tolerate people or situations at wrong times , we become weaker and weaker .

This can be illustrated with a boiling frog story . Frogs have the ability to adapt to any situation and temperature . When a frog is put in boiling water , it can withstand the rising temperature .But once boiling point is reached , it has to jump out . But it won't be able to jump since it has become weaker by adapting to rising temperature and it dies . Similarly in life we need to know when to adjust to situations , people and when to confront them . We shouldn't tolerate any injustice to us or in society ,

"Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen." -Winston Churchill

Summer Magic

Awesome advanced course with Bawa and Dinesh Bhaiyya . Words can't describe how it was . Lot of clarity in thinking , Rocking satsang and amazing fun . Thanks to all of them because of whom , I could be part of it . Learning of good stuff  were plenty along with unlearning of wrong stuff.

Some of the  question answer session with Bau and Dinesh Bhayya which I could remember have been posted below .

Q. I have many relationships without any commitment  just for time pass , but I'm responsible about it . Is it wrong or right .

A: Question stating its right or wrong means you know there is something wrong with it .Any relationship requires commitment . Relationship without commitment will be living a life of a animal . Relationships become stronger only with commitment .If you are not committed to your job , you can never work or nobody will hire you .


Q. Why do we have to stick with one partner when animals have multiple partners.

A. Then you will be treated like a animal if you do the same :)

PS: Loved the answer 


Many questions were related to career and answer given was that if you are confident and hard working , whatever you choose , you can be successful . 

Bawa s dad , didn't get  exactly his name , he was a hero for all of us .Being 60 plus years of age , his energy and enthusiasm was unbeatable .He can put all of us to shame with his confidence and sense of humour .
