Life

today i want to tell u a li’l secret. its regarding my blogs. most of them are inspired from movies. reason – i m a li’l bit of movie freak. ok then, credit for todays blog goes to a wonderful movie called ‘Titanic’. and as the blog title reads, it is about life.

everyone knows titanic sank to bottom of the ocean. there were thousands of men and women on it. the movie titanic tells the story of two of them. rose and jack. just imagine how many of these ‘rose and jack’s wud have been there aboard the titanic. while watching the movie we even think of some other characters, but have u ever thought that there can be at least hundreds of rose and jack on titanic. i m saying this not just to show u the hugeness of titanic, but also that there are many things in the world, in our own life that get ignored many times.

coming back to what inspired me to write this blog. there is a scene in the movie in which jack talks about how he wud like to live his life. this happens when he is invited to dinner by rose’s fiancĂ©e. he says he has got all what he needs to live. air in lungs and sheets for drawings. when asked how he travels, he answers he likes to go his own way. every morning when he gets up he doesnt know whats gonna happen in the day ahead.

now a question. when u watch a movie, dont u feel that the world is revolving around the hero of the movie? what will u say if i asked u that how will u feel if i make u stand at the position of the central character of the movie? if i tell u to experience that world is revolving around u? it wud a very nice feeling right? everyday when u wake up, just close ur eyes for a moment, and say to god that ‘i dont know whats gonna happen in my life today; but whatever happens, i m ready for it.’ and see the fun. u ll feel enormous joy. it ll be like god is writing a story full of mystery and u r right at the centre of it. and as god is the writer, the story wud be really excellent. there is no doubt in it.

now the next part. when u read a story, u ll find there is a central character and there are many surrounding or supporting characters. now think, can there be a story only with one character? the answer is a big NO. so the other characters in story are as important as the central character. when u r god’s central character in ur life, then the people u meet, people around u are the supporting characters that support ur story of life. when u talk to anyone that person has some impact on u and vice versa. whenever u meet someone, look for anything that might catch ur attention. something peculiar about the person. it helps in remembering the person. and if that peculiar thing is of ur interest then that thing may get incorporated in ur life. this all happens subconsciously.

there are lot of things in the life that can not be analyzed. or shud i say understood? by normal human beings of course. the story written by god has got so many twists and turns, that it cant be analyzed by simple, plain mathematical logic. u just cant imagine how the logic of god may work. to give u an example; in my school once there was a new boy, whom i didnt like in first meeting. there was something about him, which i dont remember now, that made me dislike him. but within a week, he became my best friend. on the contrary, there was another new boy with whom i had a good rapport right from first day, is now my just friend. just friend with whom i had lost contact already.

see? u dont know which way ur life turns. so i may suggest u to entirely leave it to god’s hand, but just carry out ur duties given by him, in order to please him. so that he keeps writing good story for u. duties as in whatever u do in ur life, do it whole heartedly. give it the best u can. when u give all u have to the life, life will present u with nice and warm surprises. it is the law of life. whatever u give, u get it back. many times u get it back alongwith interest. so if u perform good in the play of life, u ll get awarded in ur life.

How you judge a person?

hello again.....

as compared o previous versions, this blog comes pretty early after the last one. this, u can say is may be an effect of my last blog on myself. jokes apart. just today morning this topic came to life in my wierd brain and it gave an order to body to write down my thoughts.

Ok. coming back to the topic. what exactly is the procedure u use to judge a person? it is said that the first impression is always the best impression. what all comes under first impression? look, body language, talking style etc. now comes the question, what all u conceive from looks and body language. many times looks are deceptive. u dont know who is wearing a 'mask' of a kind person. it is a human tendency to behave nice with someone with whom one has some work. so there may be a case that someone behaves nicely with u, just coz that person wants u to do something.

now lets think after the first impression. now what all things come to ur mind about the person. how and what he talks with u, about u, about people around. there is one more human tendency that when a person talks good things about u, u start thinking that the person is good. when someone says u need to improve or there is something bad about u, u may start thinking that the person is not so good. what i can say is only one thing. dont just go by the words any person says. get to the feelings of those words. decipher the feelings of the person who issaying the things about u. if its something good about u, then it may have been to show u what u r. and if its something bad then maybe that person needs u to know where u lack. read between the lines. thats a good habit.

there is one more case. the case in which u need someone's help, and seek out for it. but the person is either not willing to help or is not genuinly in a positon to help u. in this case, we are in such a great hurry of seeking help that we forget to check whether theperson is not willing to help or is genuinly not able to help. this is where u need patience. only patience can help in this condition. u need help. but think before asking for it. think that, is the person whom u r asking for help is able to help or not. if he is able to and still if he is not helping u then it wud mean that the person is not willing to help u. but its important to think first before acting. action without thought is nothing.

ok then. u need to know one last thing. keep ur senses on when u r judging a person. most important thing to know is u shud have an eye contact when talking to a person. it enables u chec whether the person is lieing or not.

phew..... enough for today. gotta go and have something to eat. otherwise i wont be in a position to judge anyone. and that will be like an illiterate person teaching how to write. so until my next blog bugs u, happy hunting. imean judging.....

Urgently needed: - "Time"

hello again.....

as u can see this blog comes after reallly looooooooooong time. i can say that i was busy wid some work, didnt have time, was not supposed to be doing time pass in these things and blah blah. but frankly speaking i also dont know the real reason why i took sooooooooo much time to continue the blogging.

as u can see; i wrote my last blog in around october, last year. at that time only i joined a company, and my 'job' started. so i may have a valid reason saying that i was so busy in my job that i didnt have time to write anything. this may have been true for first 2-3 months, but during the training one of my senior in company had mentioned that he had a hobby of writing. one of my fellow joinee asked him why he said 'had'. whether he didnt like to write now. the reply was 'i still like to write, but i dont have time.'

interesting, right? may i ask u one question here. what will be ur answer, when someone asks u whether u have time to do something. i guess u will first ask 'what is that u want me to do?' many of us do that. now if the work someone wants us to do, is not complicated or if it is complicated but favourite then we might answer positively. otherwise we may say 'lets see. if i get time i will certainly do' now the question comes, if the work someone wants u to do is not ur favourite or simple, will u really have time to do that?

coming back to my senior, he then received a reply from another one of my friend, 'if its ur hobby, then u shud be able to take out some time to continue it.'

perfectly right. what do we have hobbies for? they are for our own relaxation. when we say i dont have time for hobbies, it means that we are so much into work that we dont even have free time for ourselves. thats the time when u need hobbies the most. when u r working something which is related to one of ur hobby, ur entire body responds to it. every part of ur body gets something, something different from food, but required to work properly. this is one thing i have learnt recently, from a friend. hobbies keep u lively which is quite different from being alive.

now coming back to title. all those who say that they need time to do something, think where can they get it. its not something that u just go to a merchant and buy it. no one can give u free time in ur life. because that is the something which belongs to u. u have to think where can u get it. think about ur entire schedule of the day. think where u can save time. think about things which take more time than needed. things which take up time more than the things which are more important and need time. identify things which eat up ur time. ditch them. not entirely though. use that time for some important things. u, and only u, can find time in ur life, if u truely need it.

i have heard someone say that giving gyaan is very easy, but implementing it is rather tough. so i tried it on myself. i took out time from one of hobby to give time time for other hobby. not exactly TOOK OUT, but rather i myself understood that for me, writing is almost at same level of priority as that of the reading.

anyway thats enough for now. but god only knows, when i ll be able to implement the above thing again in my life. until then c ya. have a nice TIME.....
