MY THOUGHTS AND IDEAS...

Well,all this education and knowledge has no meaning until we realise the core fundamental behind it.We as humans have always been social and probably this social cohesion has been the reason why we have been so successful as a species on this planet.The bonding between humans and hence the interdependence seems essential as well as logical if we have to function as a collective unit comprising of every individual on this planet. Now as we study,first at school and then at college there is a certain amount of discrimination involved at almost every point of life.I mean first at school we have divisions between students based on their percentage then we have the divisions based on the various non academic aspects of oneself.Whether the discrimination exists or not is not the question,although the magnitude may vary from person to person and from place to place.As a student we are expected to excel in almost every field,parents want their children to be all rounders.Their child must...

Motivation is needed in every walk of life.Whether we are kids or grown ups there are instances when we start doubting ourselves,and things go way off the limits sometimes and we often create an emotional mess,to get out of which seems a daunting task! So,right at that point we need someone to inspire us,some person to look up to.Some ideas to pick us up or maybe some friend to offer his/her shoulder,at least.Those who have company often share their emotions and hence face every situation collectively.They don't have a lot of problems tackling individual issues provided the company is good.Each one helps the other in facing the situations, this lack of motivation as well. People like me who don't prefer company have to develop some kind of inner mechanism so that when every thing seem down,there is an inner sense of confidence to pick us up. I feel this confidence is not optional and as we get out there in the world it is often left to us alone,...

First of all,ever since I've been following mindfulness,I have put enough restrictions on myself and sometimes I feel like I'm chained to something.Its not that I doubt the teachings at all,it is just because I've not understood it properly or maybe the transformation is showing its effect. From today,I will have a change of attitiute towards a lot of things although based on the same ideals which I've developed over time. Starting with the immediate controls I wish to strenghthen: There will be no smoking or alcohol at all,whatever the situation.Initially,I put a blanket ban on smoking but as time has passed I've become more lenient with myself and these days smoke at few instances.But,whether its once a day or 10 times a day,it is not permitted so from now onwards,I will ban smoking or any intoxicating substance,for that matter.I've retricted myself from alcohol and will continue to do so. During the days here at the colleg...

Sometimes my behaviour is erratic in nature,and the words coming out of my mouth well,I feel I need a firm control.All this excitement has no meaning at all and I often end up embarrassing myself.The culprit is as usual my self control,obviously the lack of it. I don't know sometimes why impulsive behaviour takes control of me and I almost without a resistance give in. At this critical stage of life,when on the one hand we are supposed to build our careers and on the other equal importance is to be given to our character and personal relationships.The relationships with individuals at our age is vulnerable as almost everyone is confused in his/her understanding of the world.I feel,it is only after a certain age when we calm down,that we start to value the importance of a human being without attributi ng false characteristics to him/her. I don't like labeling people and hence I too get upset when people try to label me.But to express the displeasure is r...

My life is better these days as I don't have time to sit over and murmur that I do nothing all day.Ever since I've been alone,which has been so for almost 2 weeks now,I do not have enough time to waste,doing nothing.I have to do everything a householder does without complaining at least.There is no one to hear.Be it cooking,washing clothes or cleaning the house as well as utensils I've been doing it all and the positive thing is that I don't feel any fatigue. Well,if someone can't be at peace with his/her present life I feel sorry for the person and thankfully I'm not so anymore.Earlier I used to complain about almost anything not favourable but as time passes and I grow up,I realise the futility of it.Each day is a great teaching experience in itself and I take every experience as a teaching in this grand subject called life.No one teaches us,nobody will force us to do anything,it is up to oneself to decide whether he wants to learn or not.Th...

I face a lot of flack over my view on various issues.I enjoy it,afterall being different is a luxury!We all seek it and here I am getting it all for free.All right getting more serious now,and honestly sometimes I do get bogged down by it and some voice hidden deep within asks what if i'm wrong.What if my perspective is one dominated by paranoia or delusion,for that instance?I often don't take advices and hence there is seldom a case of someone having an influence on me at least visually!But what is there in life which is so complicated and about which people often accuse me of taking too lightly ?I don't understand. All right, life is not a bed of roses and we have to face a lot of difficulties but this is no excuse for crying over the mistakes done in the past! Same is the case with people on the other side,the so called optimists.They'd often advise us to be cheerful,laugh out loud and stuff like that. Things are good for few days just before y...

Just yesterday,I was thinking about my days in the college and then suddenly something interesting came to my mind.Why not compare one of the days to something grand and interesting,which is of course life itself?I often compare life with a train journey and other things,because it seems analogies are one of the sharpest of tools in order to retain something in the mind and I've felt the need of it ever since I've been studying.So,in order not to forget any moment of my day to day life,in this college,I use analogy.It seemed fascinating at that moment and then I started thinking about it and I think I should type it up otherwise I tend to forget things too soon and all the ideas pass out not even bothering to take permission from me!!! Life,such a beautiful and grand thing what if could be represented by a single day!What if we could take each day as equivalent to an entire life?We are born each day and at the end we sort of switch ourselves off at night which...
