Greatest things always come in small packet.

12th Jan 2012, on occasion of 150 birth anniversary of Swami Vivekanand I happen to be in Ramkrishan ashram, Delhi, could not see much of ashram, but checked the "show room" there, picked three pocket sized books, 1) Japa and meditation, 2) Vedanta through stories and 3) work and its secret, amazed with the content of the book specially work and its secret. I randomly opened a page and started reading, it says " a man should not be judged by the nature of his duties, but by the manner in which he does them" simple, may sound obvious also, but still we ignore it. Moreover ignore the judging part and 3rd person, a manner in which we do our duties decide our happiness. For more read book itself on karma-yog and not the blog :), everything is given in our ancient text, they had specifically written books for us, for coming to generations to read. May be they don't want us to reinvent wheel and build the knowledge further from where they had left. Next time if you have no clue what to gift a person on bday and all, gift these pocket sized, knowledge packed, treasures.

Confusion in duality!

It is very obvious to see and say that change gives us happiness, it actually just tickle your senses, which is perceived as happiness. may not be true, slowly we go insensitive to that little change or rather become immune to change and we look for bigger change to get same tickle. We go insensitive over time, one of the greatest confusion for learned ones is to be sensitive or not to be, or when to be sensitive and when not to be. Again it has duality, so be sensitive to changes around or to be insensitive, being sensitive meaning, getting influence with even small flick, it will make you happy every now and then but at same time will also make you sad, on contrary being insensitive means, not getting perturbed and remain still, this means what ever state you are in will remain for long, this way you happiness or sorrow are prolonged, also small small things will not bother you, one may miss large number of events. We have more smaller events in life and few big ones, we we get happy only on big results, then one has to wait for long. So confusing!!
Answer to that is true happiness is not hidden in observing change around, but in observing no change inside due to changes around!! confusing, it is same as being insensitive, anyways Whats your personal Richter scale limit to collapse from worldly quakes...

Sleep early for good start!

We are different when we are active, we smell different, we feel different, and so world is different to us. Just flips in calender doesn't give that high what we get when we are active. World is not different on last day of year, its different when you are active and not dull. This year on someone's advice I slept early on eve of 31 dec 2011, as I wanted good start and not dull start of first day of 2012. Day begins when we wake up after completing good sleep, and not at zero hour in midnight, that's day for clock, it is just device to remind us about the reference system we had set, and not to dictate, I doubt we can get up at 6 afresh after celebrations at 12 in midnight. True happiness is not by observing change around, but to see no change inside due to changes around!! Be happy now and be happy this year, for next year and for all the years to come from now!

My Ramdom tweets!




How will i know if my eyes are closed or open, as i see same with open or closed eyes!!

What do you want to do on your last day on this planet in present physical frame! Most famous question! My answer is still same! whats urs?

Aim at every beginning is to reach end!

Doing anything with 100% involvement is nothing but meditation! So Meditate!

So much to learn, infinity in everything we do,... nothing is finite, you are at infinite distance from everything....

"Out" from worldly desires meaning "in" to self...

confused am I going away!! or actually going in..

Strange but true, people can't accept whole of you! They either love name, voice, photo but not whole u, ram se bada ram ka naam!

beaten, tossed, melted, burned.... how much tossing .... btw all this brings out taste!

no one to one or one to no one

Few emotions associated with waiting are, anger, irritation, concern, excessive thinking, .... list few more...

we are bad in solving our own problems but good in solving others problem, cause we are detached with the problem in later case!

Looks like i am immortal, :), i have died so many times in past few years and every time I find my self smiling and kicking!

Mixing friendship with profession, brings corruption.


Lost sitting at one place...

When we know journey is long, we look into "company" to "comfort" , and we complicate it.


Don't get stuck with questions when you already have answers!

Dissociating comfort from Happiness would eliminate half of the worlds problems.

We all have some gam!( hindi wala), and that is driving us, its GAME of life

Things I thought would never change, were the first one to change!

What makes country special!

Recently I was glued with thought what we need to make India a better place, best in so called standard set by other developed countries, where do we really stand and what do we need. We certainly accept this now that we were or may be we were best but today, we need a strong wake up, shake up to rise up and show up.
Listed are few parameters I could think during journey on which a country should be judged and its future is governed, pls suggest more.

1. Natural resources of the country, eg area of country, mountains, fresh water, oil, fertile farming land.
2. Climate.
3. Number of actually working hands and not entire population.
4. Technology developed with in the country and not the technology in use. eg, We use CPU, metro but we do not own this technologies. And dependence and utilization of technology.
5. Tourism, cross culture, attractions, sports how much country can interact, attract other countries and on what grounds.
6. Longetivity, how long they live on average, eg for japaneese it is above 90, which says its best country to live if eventually you get to live longer.
7. Health of citizens.
8. Mental health of citizens, it is different from longetivity, I can't talk about longetivity for 13 year old kid, specially in country like India where youth population over cast, so we actually don't have right longtivity data, thus for young countries we should talk about mental and physical health.
9. Law and order, discipline in people.
10.Value system, how would they perform if they are not monitored, will they still follow rules or are they just waiting for government or system to sleep.
11. Passing on knowledge, how much they are transferring from generation to generation, as may be good, but are we making our children smarter then us.
12. Language, communication, how effectively a message is shared, or communicated, media, news paper, literature, goodness of interaction among people.
13. Selfishness, promptness to help or make things better around, as individual is smallest unit but what makes sized up country is how well they bind and collectively progress.
14. Cost of living, ratio of (salary or day income/ cost of one day meal) and (day salary/day expenses)

Certainly there are more parameters, but important issue is what should we do now to make Bharat a better country, and where can we contribute. Certainly we posses good mental health and physical health. We have major advantage of being seventh largest country, a warm country that does not burn coal for running heaters. We have advantage of being multi cultural, rich literature, numerous of attractions. Question is if we have everything what do we lack. We have hands but not the quality ones. We have best gardens, valley, scenic beauty, tourism but not maintained. We have many cultures and infusion but busy arguing and proving themselfs superior. We have huge rainbow, too many colours, but we are lost in vastness. We have ethics, principles, law but we expect others to follow. We hate when we are told to follow, we love our freedom and rules for others, we lack commitment of following it ourself first. What I personally feel we are busy in showing how friendly we are, we are good friends and bad professional. Choosing friendship over profession is foundation of corruption. We have technologies but our market is captured with firangi color, and we have to still work in core technologies. We run maximum number of buses in world, but we still import volvos, we have maximum users of mobile, TV, computer and electronic items, but we failed to manufacture one. We are busy selling, sugar, tea and spices, cooking and serving but this will not make India rich and strong. We are busy making dolls and knitting. Thinking big, BIG and very big is what we need. If only every Indian can vision BIG and BEYOND, I can tell you we will make dent.
Jai Hind.

I saw this chart year after writing this blog and feel it explains it all in one chart

why everybody feel that he/she is right!!

I was short of ideas for my next blog, I am usually. So My friend suggested one "why everybody feel that he/she is right!!

Answering to this implies, highlighting the cause of all major problems in the world. It is not specific to individuals, but it is community, political parties, states, religions and even countries that falls under this illusion.
HUman being has nature of justifying everything, with law of cause and effect, we look for reasons in everything and this is the biggest problem. If we want to talk to some one we need reason, to say hello to someone we need reason, we need festivals or mothers day, fathers, V day and on other extreme we give reasons for everything, we justify, if you happened to be at your friends place, you will say ohh I was passing by and so.., ohh i called you because I was missing you, if bird shit on your collar you reason with mystic event, gap in incisor is prosperity, dog barking is ghost, cat crossing is danger, crow chirping on veranda is guest coming soon... whyyyyyy mannnnnnn!!!!!!!!! (I am looking for reason now)

Reason and then Justifying it has become our nature, observation is food and justification is its digestion, so we have to process it and throw some shit out else we are not happy, so to make our self happy we justify. And this process of making ourself happy is going since birth. For some reason others shit is always smelly, others justification may not be acceptable always. When we feel we are right we feel good, we feel happy, food we digest out is best acceptable manure!
Its simple my friend, when we say we are right we feel happy and we like to be happy, its our belief system which judges everything and we have to have belief system, we can not keep this section empty as its our nature to justify and reason out. Like I did and you asked. So everything aligned with belief system is right. Important questions is should we have it or no, should we reason or no, should we justify or no. Well till now the best things happened to me or you are in cases when you did not looked for reasons and justification.

May be it is my habit!

So much to write and say, still when friends asks why no updates Ved, i remain quite and silent.
May be lack of courage to speak out everything or it was never my habit to throw updates and blabber, we don't have any specific nature its just pattern, repetition or habit, fear is habit too.
All emotions are form of habit, happiness, love, sorrow, they all are habit, if someone is shy its habit and if someone is outspoken its again habit and not the vary nature of person. Sales man smiles at you out of habit not he/she is happy seeing you, even if don't buy anything you would still receive a smile :), so wonderfully they have tuned them-selfs, if you want to be happy in life, do this for one month, pick a job of sales man, air-hostess, etc and you will be happy there after ... but for more happiness do change your job...
Habit of asking questions is curiosity, and habit of poking into others life is facebook. Suddenly whole generation is engrossed into reading this most stupid book. It has booked people and made them busy, guy who invented it has turned into billionaire, why because he is feeding on your most precious property, your time. He could come up with facebook because he never wasted time peeping into others life, he sat in solitude and worked. Something great always happen when we want to do something and we cannot or not allowed to do that, this is the secret of all the discovery to revolution. Even stupid thing like electron in trapped state act crazy, and keep scientist busy with term nanoscience, trapping sound is music. Its open secret why ladies don't die of heart attack, well its simple if u ask, no attack no heart, so how can they die, but I guess its that they use heart only for pumping blood and not for holding secrets, they are bad in it.
Imagination automatically flows when you want to fly and you can not. and you try to reach out with imagination instead of wings. This is also source of everlasting motivation for many, many people paint, they want that one person to see and appreciate their painting, and since that one person never does so they paint and paint... Galib wanted to convey his feeling to that one person, since that one person never heard him, he kept on expressing..., people want to discover some particular thing and on way they discover everything except that one...whole world talks about god and they will keep doing it.. this is everlasting debate.. Its simple you can't make lion hunt if its not hungry, lion is too lazy and need reasons for everything, very smart animal and not hobbyist, killing was never its hobby but necessity, unlike humans, we do out of greed/hobby and not need, and today in society those who live as per need have life style of animals. kasturi mrig will run everywhere but not to self, we will search for happiness every where but not within, we know where it is, but we like to run, it is our habit...
