I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. I am important. My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have. Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free. Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste. Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive.

A Mantra is a formula or a word with spiritual significance. Stripped off any Hindu background it is just a meaningless word or syllable which can help you relax very deeply. Mantra meditation is a very effective relaxation technique. Ok... Lets try... Close your eyes. After one or two minutes rest, start the mantra and repeat several times with the voice getting lower and lower. Then only whispering and eventually only thought. Even thinking of the mantra can get lower!

Would you know my name if I saw you in Heaven? 

Would you feel the same if I saw you in Heaven? 

I must be strong and carry on, 

'Cause I know I don't belong here in Heaven ...... 

Would you hold my hand if I saw you in Heaven? 

Would you help me stand if I saw you in Heaven? 

I'll find my way, through night and day, 

Dont hang up!

After having reached at the peak of his career a man felt an urge to repay back to his mother for all that she had done for him. So he asked her,"Mother, what can I give you? What can I do for you? I sincerely want to repay you for all the sacrifices you have made for me and for all the love you have showered upon me." She looked surprised and said, "Why do you think about it. It was my duty so I did it, you don't have to repay me.

My mom had only one eye.I hated her... she was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students and teachers to support the family. There was this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to me. I was so embarrassed. How could she do this to me? I ignored her, threw a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school one of my classmates said, "EEE, your mom only has one eye!" I wanted to bury myself.

Ours was a residential school. I was in my 11th std. I was a vice captain of the school. One day our principal made a rule that whoever comes late for the dining hall will not be given food and will be sent back. Few days latter I did the same when few students came late for the lunch. I sent them back.They were not given lunch. Next day I reported the same to the principal. He smiled and said " don't take it literally, It was said so to make students more conscious". Then after I did not repeat the mistake I did.And even I did not think about it.

I was going through all recently posted blogs and found that there r many people who have some sort of idea to bring in change in society or our surrounding. But in depth thought over the idea like its implementation, resources required, plan of action etc is missing and its left to others to think and if someone desires to work for it can take over. And also as the post becomes older readers tend to forget it. Now i have an idea.. why cant we have a separate block in the site dedicated to ideas.

It was there somewhere in the news for a while. More than 55 perople lost their lives in a fire accident in Meerut. Its not the first time that we have seen such a damage. The pain in the eyes of the relatives and the sentiments in the hearts of the others, all is heart rendering. But after a couple of days, all of it takes a different shape. Instead of serving the purpose of a lesson for future, it remains as as a news. We have sentiments in place. We dont want such things. We never want it to repeat. So why dont we start doing things about it?
