JUST MOVING ON-32


It is never advisable to speak ill of others for it is not only futile but poisonous as well.We tend to display all our animal potential,whenever we are not pleased by someone.Be it shouting,making stupid gestures or even going to the extent of beating up that person,all because we are not pleased by him!People often ask me why I don't get angry and my usual reply is I look within myself and impose certain checks so that things don't get out of hand.
As of now,I know the importance of cultivation of one's own behaviour and its huge impact on the person itself and people around him/her.It is not surprising thus,that if we are to change the situations or persons around us,the first change needs to be done within oneself.How many times we hear learnt men criticising others?I believe such aversions are restricted to a definite level which may be regarded as characteristics of the so called common man.Well,what is the purpose of gaining all the knowledge?It is at first to become a good man,which is arguably better than the common man of today and then sit in calmness,isn't it?
People are bothered or I should say entangled in their daily chores and seek not to get out of it,is it wisdom to aspire to be entangled just like them?Especially when I've seen the futility of it.Thankfully,nature isn't monotonic and we have enough freedom to pursue the course we want to.Now,as I look at all these usual bondings of family and society I feel they are useful as long as they don't hamper the freedom.Afterall,we have to take the best out of everything and the rest must be buried!This is the way,we've moved until now,and this is the way it'll be in the coming times.
All through these years i've been aspiring to be like someone else and it is something like my confession.Well,is is a flaw isn't it?And then my inner mechanism detected it and then I got it troubleshooted!How?Well,we don't need to become like someone else.we are what we are and we are made perfect within our domain.Why don't we put these inspirational people in our boots and then judge ourselves!I don't think following someone leads us somewhere but of course there is a need for some one to guide us.And it is not that easy to find a good teacher who can be honest with his pupil,I feel.These days it is all business and no devotion.So we need teachers but not someone who is stupid.I mean a man who can't manage his own life,how do we expect him to teach others?And then he is supposed to gain respect!
I believe one of the most prized possessions we have is respect,and we should be very careful in extending respect to others.I mean of course we should have an atmosphere of mutual respect everywhere as each one of us has a right to live with dignity,so no problems there.Real problem starts when we get out of the box to respect someone unworthy of it.It's a pity when I see people do that.The motive-just the usual one,get some favours!
One common thing is though,that I'm mostly misunderstood.People around me take me to be something else than what I'm internally and the fact that my communication skills are not up to the mark only adds to that.Some think I'm geek,some take me to be an introvert,some take me to be a typical rude guy who doesn't know how to speak while some are still in ambiguity.But its not like that i'm depressed with it.Sometimes it is good to be misunderstood.People don't bother you and there is no load of expectations from you!!!

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...
