JUST MOVING ON-16



Beauty is something not to run away from and I realized this today.Until today ever since I've tried mind control I've restrained myself and strictly followed some rules in order to prevent distraction,caused by some very seemingly pleasant things.But since I put a lot of emphasis on mindfulness,it has become clear to me that its no use running away from beauty.So what did I find today after which i'm writing this.Well,i've been a huge fan of nature and its creations and although I appreciate nature's creation in the form of human,I was skeptical of humans until a few days back.But now since I've been meditating on metta or loving kindness,I've reduced a lot of aversion both normally and otherwise and believe me it feels a burden is off!All right now getting into a little detail,well this kind of load shedding is not such a bad thing and the good thing is that i've started this way of thinking at a proper time as I realize now and the transition has been smooth.I read some people say your life turns full way round and your belief system shakes but for me,it's too easy.I feel like I was already on the right path but deviated and needed a little bit of fixing and now since I applied the fix,I feel I'm on the right path assigned to me.But today I'll write about my new experiences with loving kindness and it's benefits.


Earlier when I had a mini-ego,I used to be hurt by people by virtue of their actions.I still do but the effect has been minimised to an extent that it does not have a significant influence on me in the long term.In fact nothing has an influence on me in the long term as I meditate on the non permanence as well.So,i used to feel low and there used to be anger inside me which was vent out in the form of hatred but things have changed now.Now I don't hate anymore in fact now I look inside and if I find any fault,I thank the guy for pointing it out and if I don't I ignore his/her childish act.This is the way to deal with non favourable people and those who are favourable,well I feel their company as a blessing.People around me are usually extremely nice and friendly so there can't be any hatred.But one thing is sure when you do good you are sure to have good company.I don't hate anyone and no one hates me and this place suddenly seems to be a heavenly place these days.Life is really easy and it is meant to be!Now in fact it seems futile discussing about all this.


I have started having a little problem with my relations with others as well and I'd like to mention it here.Over these years I've accumulated a lot of data in terms of factual information as well as some analysis but the problem starts right there.I usually talk a lot and once I start it's difficult for even me to stop.I try to put everyone on the same page and now I feel how bored people might feel on listening to all my barking.I mean information is of use only at the right place and it's dangerous spreading it here and there.I was discussing politics one day and wandered into some other topic and then I felt it was all pointless.I know something does not mean everyone knows that and even more important is that not everyone needs to know what I have in store.So now I feel a little regret and the control which seems of utmost importance will be applied shortly.And how'll I do it?Well it's not difficult.First of all I need to know the bases for talks and stop all this useless chatter.Well control over mouth is needed and I've never worked in that direction.Well it seems quite uncommon these days.People do nothing but chatter all over and hence the weight of words have declined significantly in the last few years.So the thing is that we generally tend to follow what others are doing and it is one of the dominating factors leading to suffering.Pointless and reckless talk is of no use and it can do nothing but harm our character.Well lets see how far I go.By the way since I realize it is a wrong thing half the work is done as I generally don't follow the wrong path.So I'm optimistic about it.

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
