The joy of sharing my Deepavali Gift


A friend of mine wished me Happy Deepavali for next twelve years starting with this year,

Another one wished me to be blessed with 16 fortunes as defined by Indian mythology,

There was an offer for CASH defined as C- care, A-affection, S-smiles and H-hugs,

There were fountain crackers and butterflies wishing colourful Deepavali through SMS

The wishes came from north,east, south and west surrounding me in all directions

The close ones called me over phone to express the best wishes and get wished spontaneously

The air and ether are filled with waves of happy wishes available to all and in plenty

Now it is my turn to share all these with all those whom I meet through this post,

When we earn more we get tuned to share and become joyous in giving and sharing

It appears that festivals are there to give and share and not to look for what we get.

Let me be blessed with the joy of sharing that is eternal and could even be immortal.

( The 16 fortunes are 1. Education, 2. Intelligence,3. Longevity,4.Skills,5.Youth 6. Courage 7.Pride,8.Gold,9.Materials,10.Fame, 11.Land,12.Good children, 13.Good habits, 14.Good health,15. Great attitude and 16.Success)

Dreams,Goals and Targets.

Dream is a term talked very much these days. The word has found a place in the corporate world and whether people understand it or not, using this has become a fashion. The recent popularity of this term may be due to the fact that our Past President Dr. APJ.Abdul Kalam used this to motivate young people. It is very true that once you have a strong dream, every thing around you will align to make you realise your dream. I can quote many instances in my own life to support this. The trouble is how to have a strong dream. It appears that ones dream very much depends on his basic attitude. If by virtue of your attitude, you are comfortable the way you are, reading a book like 'The Magic of Thinking Big ' will not move you even a little to form your own dream. To read the book itself you need to have an attitude. All of us are born in environments that are never our choices. We are born with certain facilities and certain commitments. However the dream can just enter your inne...

The beliefs that drive people( For those who are interested in “Why')

April 24,2012 was celebrated as Akshaya Thrithiyai a festival recently rediscovered to buy gold. It all started five years ago when a smart jeweler in our town caught hold of a so called Prohit to sow a belief that will boost his sales. A Prohit is a person who projects himself to have great knowledge of Hindu rituals and dresses him self in distinctly peculiar ways, fore head shaved and the hair left to grow long on the back is tied in a knot. They wear some religious marks on the temple either three horizontal bands of holy ash or a white U or Y mark having a red line in the middle. Just as one does not question an automobile mechanic, people in India do not question these Prohits also. It is understood that there are some Veda Schools that teach the authentic techniques for the popular rituals and the Vedic rhymes that are to be chanted as mantras during the rituals. But most of these Prohits do not study there. They gain the knowledge of these mantras from some senior Prohit. Th...

The Gods of Health

Most of us have great faith on God. Being pious is a comforting feeling and adds to the psychological strength. If we have some problems, we pray God and we believe that our prayer is heard. Most of the time the problem get solved or we accept the bad results as our fate. Similar faith we seem to build on the doctors. If we are ill we go to doctors and religiously obey their words and gulp what ever they give as medicines. I have asked many of my friends and acquaintances, who are under treatment for some common ailments like fever about the medicines they take. Even well educated people are ignorant of the names of the medicines they take. So people have great faith in doctors and this really makes doctors to behave like super human beings in charge of the life and health of living beings. In this part of the world where I live doctors want every one of their patients to patiently wait for hours in the ill equipped waiting room. Friends are no exception to this general waiting ...
