I am surprised when people think they won the battle when their opposition is silent.
Being silent in some awkward situations like, when you are trying to convey or convince some megalomaniacs or hypocrites who neither wants to be criticized nor wants to understand what others telling,
Yeah!! U better be silent.
Winston Churchill said “When the eagles are silent, the parrots begin to jabber.”
Very true isn’t it????

Love is in the Air !!!
Valentines Day is just over.
It was so colorful everywhere.
I too had a wonderful V Day with hubby.
While soaked up in V day spirit my mind started pulling pranks
Why do we love someone???
What is true love??? etc ... etc ...
After lot of tossing around ideas, I started thinking aloud about these unanswerable questions.
Lets start with: “Why do we love someone???”
We all know that “human by nature is selfish”. But the act of love is selfless. How a man could be selfish and selfless at the same time???
My answer is, man is never selfless. At least 99.99% of human are not.
We love somebody bcoz loving somebody makes us happy. This is same when we help somebody or care for somebody. The act of loving, helping and caring makes us happy. So we are doing it.
Then how can we say that loving somebody is selfless act????
I have a proof to strengthen my view.
We see many instances where a girl refuses to accept a guy's love, then he threats to throw acid on her face or to hurt her in some way. Or guy/girl blackmails saying that they will end their lives if he/she doesn’t accept his/her love. We have seen some people committing suicide on love failure leaving the other person guilty throughout their life. Or some people say,
“I will not marry somebody, I will be loving u for ever.”
“I will not love somebody else. You will be responsible for my depression.”
“You ruined my life by not accepting my love”
"You hurt me by not accepting my love. I will ruin your life" !!!
Do you think these are the symptoms of selfless Love???
Okay !!!
Can somebody stand his/her partner having good time with a person of opposite sex??
Forget about opposite sex. How many times have we quipped/fought with our partners when they went and spend some good time with their friends??
Most of us have done it.
How many of us can accept happily if our partners says they are in love with somebody else and they want to leave us and go with them?
No !!!!
we cannot accept it. As I said earlier at least 99.99% of us will not accept it
Arey Yaar. Love is selfless !!!
We love bcoz we want our loved ones to be happy. Then why can't we leave them or send them happily to be with somebody else they love.
Why ??????
It is so simple. Our love is selfish love. :)
Yeah!!! That’s the bitter truth and hard to accept it.
Love does not happen just in one day. Love at first sight is absolute BS.
It all starts with attraction. Attraction sees only what is good and what we can accept in one person. Only when we start living together and knowing each other, then the love grows. That to a selfish love. Only few blessed ones may develop true selfless love over a period.
What is true or selfless love then??
True love is loving someone without expecting anything from them. Accepting what they are. True love is when you don’t trade your love for their love, which is very tough for most of us.
However, I remember my manager used to say, though you are not a good person act as if you are good. Who knows one day you might really become a good person. So let us continue to be selfish lovers. One day we might become selfless lovers where we only want our loved ones to be happy no matter what.
A VERY HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL.

Help !
I recently read this quote in one of the mails.
“I came to realize that life lived to help others is the only one that matters and that it is my duty...This is my highest and best use as a human.”
I have helped many people many a times and I have taken help from many. But reading this quote made me think a lot about the topic of “helping” and “Whom to help”.
I have come across many people who have taken help and I have analyzed their behavior after taking help :-)
1. First category of people takes help from others and they do not acknowledge because it hurts their ego.
2. Second: They take help from others, they do not acknowledge and they treat the one who helped them as their enemies.
(Do you wonder!!!
U bet !!! I have seen such people in my life. In fact all of us (with some exceptions) might have come across or will come across such people at least once in life)
3. Third: These are the people who take one inch of help and show their gratitude 10 thousand miles. They exaggerate the greatness of the one who helped them.
(But one should understand that too much of anything is good for nothing :-). But this category of people is better than the above two.)
4. Fourth: They are graceful when they take help. They are graceful in showing their gratitude. I mean to say they do not exaggerate too much.
(But one problem with this kind of species is they are endangered :-) )
So what I am trying to tell is, as Krishna himself said in Bhagavad-Gita “whenever you are giving something or helping somebody make sure that he must be a worthy recipient. The recipient is graceful enough.”
Help as long as you want as much as you want throughout your life but make sure you have the answer for the question "Does he deserve???", before you jump to help.
As recipient one should make an attempt to question their own worthiness to receive the help. Because the one who is helping is already great whether he is graceful in helping or forced or helping as duty or sacrificing or for any damn reason, he has decided to help you.
When we make ourselves deserving it helps all those who wants to help us throughout their lives :-)

Honi ko kaun taal sakta hai????
Let me tell you a story.
An astrologer tells the king that the prince (new born baby) will be killed by a lion at the age of 9. King who was very scared and wanted to save his child from getting killed by the lion kept the baby inside the palace always and never allowed him to go out. Years passed away and then came the kids 9th birthday. King was very happy to see his son still alive and now nothing can happen to the prince. King being the king wanted to celebrate his son’s birthday in a very grand fashion. The whole palace is decorated and thousands of people were invited. The celebrations were going fine. And suddenly a statue which was put above the door for decorating purpose fell on the prince and the kid dies. The statue which killed the kid was the statue of lion :-). So finally the kid was killed by lion.
Now let me ask you something..........
Do you love mountains???
Do you love snow???
Do you love flying in the sky like bird or at least to fly in the plane or do paragliding??
Do you love swimming like a fish???
But still you are not climbing the mountain coz u might fall down??? Not swimming bcoz u r scared u might get drown?? Not flying bcoz u might have a free fall and might get multiple bone fractures???
Very sad......
One might die while sleeping... being afraid of vehicles if one stops riding them might get hit by any vehicle while he is walking on the footpath ( I see more number of vehicles running over the footpath than on the road these days :-)). Anything can happen anytime.
If at all something has to happen it will definitely happen what so ever (please refer the above story). Don’t stop yourself doing what you love thinking u are being cautious.
Enjoy today and stop thinking about tomorrow :-)

New year New Hopes
One more year just passed.
Unbelievable!!!!!!
The time flew much faster than a blink of eye. I am unable to recollect whatever I did in this year because it had been an uneventful year for me in every front.
Hope the New Year brings new hopes, new dreams and a new life full of happiness and joy.
Hope the coming year is going to be an eventful one.
Hope I will not be lazy and will get up early and do some workout everyday.
Hope I read new books and watch some beautiful movies in the forth coming year.
Hope I work better in office taking up new challenges giving it my best. Hope I will spend much time with my loved ones.
Hope I will not spend money unnecessarily.
Hope I will eat healthy food always (If not always at least most of the time :) )
Hope I will spend less money over health issues.
Hope I will finish my swimming classes.
Hope I will learn to drive car which is due from past one year.
Hope I will go to see those places which I am planning from past two years :)
Hope I will live in peace which I m searching from past 20+ years :)
Looking at my above ‘hope list’ I think this is why people say new years brings ‘new hopes’ and ‘new dreams’ :)
There is always chance that the same ‘hope list’ will be there next year with some more new added unfulfilled hopes of this year :)
But ... but I am definitely going to try at least some of the items in this new year. Hope god gives me the strength to do so (one more hope to be added in the list) :)
I wish you all a very happy new year. I hope everybody’s dreams and wishes and ‘hope list’ come true in the year to come :)
May god bless you all

Am I ready to die???
“Death” the most inevitable in life. We see, acknowledge and hear about death in our every day’s life.
Big deal !!! the one who is born has to die one day....
Yeah !!! I know that .. but still when I think about death .. I feel scared???
Not only me but most of the people who think about their death they scared.
Why is that so?? Why we get scared???
Let me think.. What are the circumstances that somebody gets scared???
• When something happens accidentally.
• When a student lacks preparation to face the exam
• When an employee is not met the targets
Etc .. etc. ...
There are thousands of situation one gets scared and the single reason behind it is
“Lack of preparation” in other words “we are not ready to face it”
Then what makes us to think and believe we are ready to face the death, the one which is certain, inevitable but not bound to the time.
Here are some pointers,
• If one lives each and every moment of his/her life as if it’s the last moment of my life, enjoying the each and every bit of it then he/she is prepared for it.
• When one realizes death is not the greatest loss in life but the greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live
• When one musters the courage to live
• When one is happy and content
• When one knows about his/her death, I mean when one accepts it that one day its coming to you.(There is lot of difference between knowing about something and accepting the same)
In one simple sentence,
“Start living, then you are prepared to die”. Always be happy. Do the things which makes you happy... pursue your interests, spread the happiness.
Make your life blissful that you meet your death fearless.
After all these churning in my mind I came to know that I am not yet ready to die but I should get ready.
