The Energising Activities

There are ACTIONS which ENERGISE you and some which SAP you out. Even a simple action of  watering the plants/grass, gives out fresh smell which energises. We need to analyse our daily schedule and identify activities which energise and those which sap us out. After that we need to focus on the actions which energise and keep us fresh taking the other  actions on need to  do basis.  If your schedule forces us to get involved in activities which saps one out then one must  prepare oneself for them, so that the burnout due to them is minimum and is balanced or taken care off by the energising activities also present in the schedule

Virtual Vs Real World

How is an individual connected with the Virtual World –

Mainly Social Media  ...Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp,                                        Snap Chat, YouTube,  Gaming...

                                    others  ...LinkedIn, Googling, Browsing                                              News/Information                                     also by using  ...Online Services, E-Mailing

But the actual Utility comes from where the virtual connects with real to get The Real-World Out-Put

 ...Else the time spend on virtual world, where it does not concretise into any real-world out-put would result in the consumption of The Real-World Time but only Virtual World acknowledgements/likes etc. on Social Media.

The Present day tendencies are to spend  more  n more of the real world time in virtual world  (social media)....with no material output except for  some kind of mental satisfaction or dejection that your comments are liked, appreciated or ignored by the virtual fraternity... but the Real World Time simply flies away.

The need is to ensure that real world out-put is either not affected or is somewhat boosted by the impetus from the virtual world. Success of the material/real world is what actually matters. Virtual world is good as long as it contributes to the real world out-put....Like virtual world Emails help in real world by improving on or conveying of the messages/decision confirmations. Similarly, materialization of real world sale/deliveries against the virtual world/on-line transactions -the online transactions help in completing money transfer  at touch of buttons  supporting the  real world deals....

Asthmi Puja with a little TWIST

This Durga Ashthmi which was celebrated on 09th October 2016, we gave a minor twist to 'Kanjak Puja'.....on a last minute thought.

It just struck that since we connect with few local young girl kids from nearby slums, when we invite five/eight girls for puja/offerings ......this time why not take this short opportunity and connect with them on SWACH BHARAT.

So we told the five girl kids who had come over, that they will get gifts for which they should share how they contribute at home to maintain cleanliness and self-hygiene. Also told that they may get gifts for good manners they observe in this brief interaction. The girls were excited and bubbling to share, though they mainly repeated what the first, the eldest of them said....like get up in the morning - first wash our face and brush our teeth, take a bath, help at home in mopping, dusting and cleaning the house. My wife Vimmi, who was watching till now also joined in, telling them the importance of washing their hands frequently, especially when they eat or use toilet. After this brief exchange those who finished the Poori Chana and Halwa offerings were praised, as one should not waste food. Also the one who asked for dustbin to throw tissue and kept the water-glass/plate in the sink was appreciated for good manners. This followed with surprise gifts to them out of our existing stock in hand of mini toiletries at home (saved/collected from our visits to hotels/resorts on vacations) like mini soaps, toothbrush/paste kit, etc. The girl with properly combed and maintained hair was given a beautiful comb besides kids being given candies/sweets for any good manner/etiquette shown.

At the end of the 45 minutes show we had fully charged girls who said that they are looking forward to coming again for such Asthmi Puja ...that was a surprise return gift for us :)

......So friends such small connects of 5 to 8 girls in various households across India can definitely generate awareness about SWACH BHARAT...a Clean n Healthy India, at hardly any additional cost but a little thought and effort.....So just try it out or something better (missed out on taking pics. probably that would have added punch to the above message)

Why is the Money plant called so......

Money Plant is called so probably there is some lesson to learn from it......

The Plant needs little attention now n then but with some regularity....say changing water, cutting trimming...clearing the rotting leaves/stems etc. Rest is your imagination and creativity how you mould or present it

To grow money you need same kind of attention/care with some regularity. Then your money shall grow the same way as your MONEY PLANT. On lines similar to moulding or making the plant presentable...money too can be used in an imaginative/creative manner so that it grows beautifully like money plant does smile emoticon

Natural Mouth Wash

If you happen to miss out on brushing your teeth, try some fruits in the morning/night. Eating fresh juicy  fruits often work as  mouth rinsers / fresheners.

One can call it as aping the animals.....they either eat raw or  fresh fruits and do not brush their teeth. If it works for them whys not us. May be eating cooked or processed food brings about changes in the food quality....making it sticky and essential to brush :)

Power Corrupts

Power Corrupts.....seems very correct.

A simple person may not do anything wrong for the fear of being caught on the wrong side.  But those all who know that they can play on without being caught, do fall in for their fantasies even if wrong …..as long as they know that they shall get away with.

An enabled person is really strong if he/she can control the morally  negative desires which seem very much in their reach and are easily achievable/doable.

Power n Purity is quiet a rare combination, because there is a tendency to give in to weaknesses. Therefore when power is there with  due checks,  then the possibility of committing the wrongs gets reduced.

Further ......Power and confidence that he/she shall not get caught or punished shall result in more WRONGS especially when one is exposed to negative environment and scarcity/shortages...example crime rate is high in slum areas where negative energies are able to overwhelm the positiveness.....This is one of  the aspect which is reflected infamous documentary "India's daughter" highlighting the NIRBHAYA CASE besides other social problems  like economic disparities between  various social levels, education, culture of women as home-makers and lack of protective environment for them out side the safety of household, ineffective or delayed enforcement of law n order at all levels, corruption etc

  ....in continuation of POWER 2B CHECKED posted earlier on 24.12.2012

Power When Unchecked………..

WE NEED THOSE POWER CHECKS IN PLACE

People with POWER start taking things for granted. When they realize that nobody is there to check them or question them, they start taking liberties and do things which legally or morally may not be correct.

It is the confidence of the Power Players that they can get away with anything which gives them the go ahead trigger

THE POWER could be:-

Money Power- Contractors & Businessmen going for shortcuts to success

Authority Power- Police, Bureaucrats, Politicians or Judiciary…those who control the various resources

Muscle Power- Bullies

Intellectual Power – Hacking or well planned crimes

If a realisation or fear is there that they won’t be spared for their wrongs or somebody is there watching them, probably then excesses wouldn’t occur or shall at least get restricted to the extent fear is inculcated among the people that they shall not be spared for the wrongs committed.

So what is required / desired?

THE CHECKS (the list need to be brain stormed for more practical/out of the box ideas for easy/effective implementation)

• A mechanism that helps check on the Power Players - their negative mentality i.e, an effective and efficient law and order system which ensures immediate justice/appropriate action against the culprit.

• Watch Groups and Monitoring Agencies- RTI & Similar agencies or action groups (India Against Corruption)

• Vigilant, Responsible and Supportive Media which enables the above

• Genuine Opposition - a ray of hope like Aam Aadmi Party

• Social Media Activism

Some Parallels between the Living Beings and the Planet Earth

Living Beings		Planet Earth
Breathing is  required to stay alive...we shall die the moment we stop breathing....and living things do die		Rotation is required to stay alive...the moment it stops the planet shall collapse. Probably  orbiting around its axis and sun helps keeping the Earth elements bound together...then like all living things Planet earth shall have a life span too.
Like we have circulatory system		It has water cycle/system....various rivers forming a kind of blood vessels....a kind of circulatory system. Similarly the land mass can be the equivalent of the bones/skeletal system and so on
Like our body is made of different kind of cells/tissues etc		The different type of living beings are a kind of cells/tissues for Earth
The out put created by humans can be mainly defined as positive or negative energies (resulting out of their various actions/attitudes)		The earth elements  produce and maintain  a energy bank too. Energy is something which connects all living beings especially the humans with the earth and the universe of which earth is a part

If the above is true..then probably the theory of expanding universe is very much possible......Every thing in this world is replicating into a bigger form. The smaller entity in itself is a miniaturised version of the bigger self.....if Human body is treated as a Universe then a small body cell can be said to be equivalent of what a human being is to planet earth and planet earth is to the universe....If we try to realise or think over this..its a beautiful occurrence. If a small injury in toe or malfunctioning of body cell happens in some corner of the human body, the impact is felt by the body as whole. So  a little imbalance in energy even at the level of one human being can impact the planet earths energy pattern and thus the universe .

Taking this thought process a little further....the Hindu scriptures seem to be pointing out to something very meaningful. As per Hindu scriptures there are about 84 lakh life forms.....each dealing with certain level of energy which add up to total of the Planet  Earths Energy Level. When ever a life form is able to attain energy levels over and above  certain minima ..that energy /life form is able to move on to the higher energy level/life form, which  may be beyond the planet Earth.... connecting further beyond with the Universe....this is what the Hindu scriptures have termed as MOKSHA or breaking the barrier of energies... thus escaping  the cyclical of interplay in between the 84 lakh life forms, if retained within the Planet Earths Energy level/Pattern.

These Thoughts are Simply Mind Blowing
