Thoughts teach us something everyday and every time. Soul is stronger than body. Heart is the commander in chief and not the mind. Mind is actually trained by the heart. Heart is filled with emotions, senses and feelings. Mind is filled with knowledge and experience. Soul is superior to both mind and heart.
God has created this world for us and he has already provided us with everything. Whatever is in surplus for us we need to share it with those who are deprived of it. That’s what God wants us to learn. There is so much joy in giving.
I used to wonder couple of years ago why God gave good and bad, joy and sorrow, health and illness, rich and poor, positive and negative, intelligent and dumb, etc. all different kinds of opposites. But now I comprehend the reason just to enlighten us with certain facts and truths about life. And to learn and lead our soul to progress further. The lesson learnt here is inexplicable. Each one of us can understand only when we are ready for it. Thereby I fail to actually explain the truth.
Simple life is the secret for happiness. To keep ourselves free from tensions and worries. To take life as one step at a time. To prioritize the progress of our soul rather than concentrating on materialistic advancements.

Born as a Human
“Being born as a human is the noblest form of all”. Why did people say that...? Well as per my belief, humans have the capacity to think and act accordingly. But do we really make use of our brains to the best possible way? I wonder...
God gave us this beautiful world for everyone to fit in and share and care for each other. But we human beings set boundaries, and create foes instead of friends. Above all, it is so painful when humans don’t respect humans. O boy, I truly despite this category of people. People may be rich or poor, belong to upper caste/class or lower caste/class, be intelligent or dumb, beautiful or ugly, white or black, learned or not, knowledgeable or foolish, but still all are human beings! Hence we should respect our own fellow beings, and work together to benefit each other and live in harmony.
Every single person is born with some talent or skill that he/she is superior than the other. Simultaneously, the person who lacks the same skill is no where inferior to the other person. Thereby we need to recognize and acknowledge each person for their individuality. Priorities may differ between individuals that doesn’t mean that they can be authoritative of that particular field in which they excel and insult others who are not familiar or have little knowledge in the same area. Feeling superior, and acting superior breeds contempt and brings disharmony and divisions among fellow beings. Thereby we need to up root all the negative qualities within us.
First and foremost we are gifted to be born in this world as human beings. That proves the point all humans are equal. Secondly, we are all born to fulfil some task. Thirdly, we all lack something within us and hence we are here to learn that and nurture our soul with the next step of progress to attain Godhead or Mukthi. Precisely, we are all in the same boat. So, my principle is try not to criticize others, neither be snobbish, nor mock others. But try to help each other with all the virtues thou art bestowed with and utilize it to conquer ignorance and inequality within oneself.
Think beyond money and materialism, there is more meaning in life when we avoid the former to dominate our life. Have noble thoughts and ideas and act accordingly to influence others to help each other. There are people who are stingy, frugal, and calculative in this world who are like weeds in the garden. But there are saints seers and herbs too! So, take the best example and avoid the beastly nature of selfishness. Lead a simple life for all we need is three meals a day, sheltered place to stay, and clothes to protect us from different weather conditions. When there are less tensions and worries we can lead a healthy and happy life. Thereby simplicity leads to sublimity. We need to mould ourselves into worthy human beings. For the word human comes from humane. Hence we need to be noble minded.
I truly marvel at people who don’t have enough for themselves but truly and willingly give from the bottom of their heart to help others. A millionaire can contribute how much ever he wants but it cannot equate to the charitable nature of a person who contributes a single penny while he cannot afford for a single meal. He has a heart of Gold. That’s what I’m talking about wealth and knowledge should be shared than being hoarded to help one’s own off springs. We are all God’s children so we have to share and care and dare not disobey him. Be noble, think noble and act nobly. Be worthy of being born as a Human Being and please do not demote yourself but promote to the next level and evolve your soul!

About Giving
By giving one gets immense joy in life! The satisfaction and contentment a person gets is beyond measure. To give one needs a true and generous heart than the material. There are many ways to give. One can give his or her precious time, the most valuable commodity to serve humanity. Or different materials that you don’t need or that you have in surplus, but wisely give it to people in need of it. Last but not the least, money - the most important currency for several organizations which help humanity. Having things in surplus and the willingness to share it with others is a noble gift in some people. Not every one has the heart to give, so we need to commend this exceptional quality and hope it inspires others to do so.
Rarer gems are found in this world. For example, some people who do not have enough for themselves, have a great heart and wants to give to help others who are in dire need. And they do not honestly expect anything in return. This kind of person is nearer to God for his true spirit in helping others. There are some people who are not millionaires but simple people with such sincere thoughts and concerns for others in this world, who give whatever they can and the gift they receive out of this is true happiness and immense satisfaction. May God bless them with good and long life so they will be there to inspire,guide and help others.

Life is like that...!
God has created lots and lots of flowers
Some are used for worshiping Him
Some others to be given as gifts of love,
For a marriage, birthday, anniversary,
Or for the Birth of the new born
And many in decorating indoors
Last but not the least are used to convey
Our final goodbye to a near and dear one!
We are born to serve differently like the flowers
And placed in different positions like the flowers
And that is our destiny.
Everyone is God's children
But still I don't know why some are so blessed
And while others aren't blessed enough!
No complaints from the flowers
And they beautify the surroundings
While we complain but have to learn looking at them
To just live like them
For Life is like that...!

Life and loneliness
You are born alone
You have to learn to live alone
For company is really not company!!!
The act of listening is love
But when no one listens to you
There is nothing in life!!!
Loneliness is less to worry
And makes you more efficient
Loneliness is a blessing in disguise
For no formalities, no false friends,
Hence no fears and tears
So mind your business
And make the best use of time
While you are alone and unknown!
You have to learn to live alone
For company is really not company!!!
The act of listening is love
But when no one listens to you
There is nothing in life!!!
Loneliness is less to worry
And makes you more efficient
Loneliness is a blessing in disguise
For no formalities, no false friends,
Hence no fears and tears
So mind your business
And make the best use of time
While you are alone and unknown!
Life is...!
Life is funny
When it is sunny
Life is dull
When it is cloudy
Life is jumpy
When it is Spring
Life is colorful
When it is Fall
Life is peaceful
When it snows!!!
Work/Life Balance - Are women born jugglers?
Wow, a wonderful topic to discuss!
We have heard many times people saying : He is born to be a doctor or born to be a teacher! It refers to their in born skills, meaning, apart from being trained as a doctor or teacher, they are very capable by nature in their respective profession. Whereas when we ponder about our topic it is something we need to acquire, strive for balancing our Life with Work efficiently!
There are two important things that help a woman to be well balanced in both Life and Work, namely, the physical and psychological strengths. Nurturing the child from her childhood days with nutritious and healthy food, good values, skills and knowledge, helps her to become strong in both the aspects. And also introducing several activities to the child while growing up and providing the right environment to practice what she has learn't shapes her into an efficient individual who would succeeds both in Life and Work. As we know Practice makes people Perfect!
Thus the child grows into a healthy, strong and complete woman fit for present life challenges. And she is able to perform well in all her different roles as a daughter, wife, daughter-in-law, mother, tutor, driver, friend, co-worker, cook, planner and organizer apart from the position she holds at her work place.
Hence those who are blessed with enough nourishment in both physical and mental/vital aspect are successful! And the others who miss either one of these have to struggle a lot to meet their needs and goals.
Only opportunities, preparations and practice makes anybody an expert juggler! Secondly, not everyone can do it! As some people are physically and mentally (vitally) strong and some others are either physically or mentally strong, so depending on the individual's strength, the ratio of their balance falls in place and hence they are either good jugglers, moderate jugglers, or not.
An added advantage is the growth of fast food, good restaurant and cafeterias in the office campuses which helps them to manage and handle well with their house chores and family matters especially in needful and dire situations. It saves time and helps them to accomplish more in a day.
In my opinion, nobody is born as a good juggler, but they can become one.

Porridge
Just started preparing the nutritious multi-grain porridge
And my childhood thoughts flashed in my mind
My face bloomed with a smile.
Thinking of the good old childhood days spent in my Grandma's house!
The next door neighbors in my grandma's village
Always used to prepare this great porridge
Honoring the Goddess of Strength
Asking her blessings for good health during the hot summer days!
Staying healthy devoid of disease,
Especially the chicken pox and its cousins
After the long rituals,
Hundreds of people line-up ,
With all shapes and sizes of vessels
To get this blessed porridge
At the temple premises!
Oh how i used to love this great nutritious meal
Clubbed together with the mango pickles
And Crunchy crispy pink onions.
Wow this meal to our body and soul is beyond description
Nothing can beat it, even the Royal dinner!
Well gone are those beautiful days,
I wonder whether there will come a day
For my children to experience, what I experienced!

Past Reality Present Dreams
The world was filled with joy
Richness of mankind rejuvenated their lives
Passion and compassion flowed smoothly
Love and affection were shared with everyone
It was a golden period of Mankind
These treasures of eternal feelings are stored
Evergreen in our minds
Man and Woman
Truly loved and wed
Well understood each other and led
A life of peace, prosperity, love and happiness
Now this time has set
Like the glorious sun-set
Its reflections on the undisturbed water
Forms today’s dreams for a …
Compassionate companion, confident friend, and a true
Lover/beloved, real husband/wife, affectionate
Father/mother, lovable sister/brother
Are all rare, nowhere to be found
Past reality, present dreams
We aspire and aspire
For such persons on earth
Reality’s reflection exist somewhere
And illusions are present everywhere!
