JUST MOVING ON-8

It has really been a very interesting first week here at the college after the break.I have applied my new way of thinking to my public life without much difficulties and I’m really going strong in consolidating it.One thing is worth mentioning and that it my concentration level has increased manifold.Earlier it’d be nearly impossible to stay at the library for more than 30 minutes at a go and today it has been more than three hours and I don’t feel the need to go out of here.I have nearly finished a philosophical book and now as I’m typing this I feel at ease.
But this is really a very huge thing keeping my standards in view.From being a rogue human to being able to walk on the path leading to sincerity it has really been a marvellous change.Now a few things come into my mind when I contemplate this change and I’d like to mention them.
First of all the change I’m talking about is not a result of something which was done extensively as the input and resulted in a awesome output.It is more like a few things required a little bit of fixing as I had deviated from the path,being totally delusional.The break in the summers this year proved to be the most important  had in several years and I think it is going to have a lifelong impact on me.Moreover with a new heightened level of consciousness,my actions are certainly going to be more purified than before and in totality,I think I am better suited to intake the higher knowledge waiting ahead!It is really a very inspiring scene when we see goodness around us.I was really foolish to not recognize the goodness within me,around me and everywhere.Now I’ve realized keeping a polarized point of view is useless and worthless.Rather we should open our eyes and look at the reality.
Second I think this kind of a change was necessary at this point of my life.I study physics and the knowledge I’m about to get can’t be imparted to a delusional and non concentrated mind.So it is a necessity for me to maintain a concentrated and non delusional mind.Moving on my life was in shatters a few days back and I needed some inspiration to pick me back up.Happily it did not come from any person!An idea came to me and then I moved into a realm from where I can’t probably return,not in this lifetime at least.
Interaction with other people was one thing which was worrying me a few days back as I had not tested it in practice yet but now with a week in college without much difficulties everything seems to be a breeze.In fact my whole life at this instant seems to be like a breeze.I have no worries(seems impractical)but really I don’t feel worried at all.Lord Buddha said about shedding of load Is this what he was talking about/Maybe yes but then it means I have entered the first level and now i need to consolidate it further.Whatever it is the bottom line is that I have been successful in my struggle with the various defilements present in the mind and will increase the success rate until there are no more defilements….

NAGALAND: FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Not too many people have Nagaland in their bucket list. Uncomfortable roads, poor transport system and a lot of corruption are a few factors which contribute to it. Added to it the stories of still active insurgency, Nagaland although an extremely beautiful hill state doesn’t manage to have a lot of tourism going on except for the Hornbill festival in December every year. But, my case is slightly different. Affinity towards the culture of the entire North east, plus a desire to visit not to tourist frequented places made Nagaland a definite must go. So, when I got time and saved some money, I immediately planned a trip to the beautiful hilly state with my girlfriend. The Nagaland express Since, th is was my second trip towards the hills of the North east, I was more confident and familiar with the sytem than the previous time. We booked a filght to Guwahati and from there we took a train to Dimapur aptly named : The ”Nagaland Express”. This

FIRST TRIP TO THE NORTH EAST-MIZORAM

Around 7 years ago during the final year of my school, I read a book about the various tribes of the north East India. Already fascinated by a place so serene, yet unexplored and heard stories of the people inhabiting those lands, the book generated in me a desire to visit the places as soon as possible. The author of that book visited the entire North East as a part of his assignment for All India Radio (AIR) during the 1970s and the way he described those tribes and the places, a strong desire arose inside of me to visit these places and see for myself how beautiful that land is, how well mannered those people are! It is aptly called the 'unexplored paradise' as I discovered. But the idea materialized only in March, when financially empowered by a scholarship from ISRO, and constantly motivated by my best friend (who could not resist travel, and hence accompanied me!), I planned to visit Mizoram. Why Mizoram? There is a particular thing about the mizos, and if asked com

TRIP TO HARIDWAR AND RISHIKESH

A trip to places like Haridwar and Rishikesh is always a source of peace,joy and spirituality and when we went to these places this month, it was no different.We had some free time and I along with my two other friends decided to visit Haridwar as well as Rishikesh for a short 4 day trip.As I had spent my childhood in a nearby town,naturally these places were well travelled by me . Day-1:Bus to Haridwar We got up early in the morning,at around 0445,hurriedly got dressed up,called each other and ran off to the ISBT at kashmiri gate to catch an early bus to Haridwar.I was extremely careful to catch the bus as early as possible because of the traffic at the border growing up a few hours later.We expected to catch the bus at around 0700,but as it always happens,we were delayed by around 30 minutes and managed to board the bus as 0730.It was a smooth journey,early in the morning a lot of fresh air poured in,later as it was not too hot,we enjoyed riding the bus in the bri
