Soulmate..

Image
There is someone special for everyone. Often there are two or three or even four. They come from different generations. They travel across oceans of time and the depths of heavenly dimensions to be with you again. They come from the other side, from heaven. They look different, but your heart knows them. Your heart has held them in arms like yours in the moon-filled deserts of Egypt and the ancient plains of Mongolia. You have ridden together in the armies of forgotten warrior-generals, and you have lived together in the sand-covered caves of the Ancient Ones. You are bonded together throughout eternity, and you will never be alone. Your head may interfere: "I do not know you." Your heart knows. He takes your hand for the first time, and the memory of his touch transcends time and sends a jolt through every atom of your being. She looks into your eyes, and you see a soul companion across  centuries. Your stomach turns upside down. Your arms are gooseflesh. Everything outsid

Soaring Beyond Fears

Once there was a king who received a gift of two magnificent falcons from Arabia. They were peregrine falcons, the most beautiful birds he had ever seen. He gave the precious birds to his head falconer to be trained. Months passed and one day the head falconer informed the king that though one of the falcons was flying majestically, soaring high in the sky, the other bird had not moved from its branch since the day it had arrived. The king summoned healers and sorcerers from all over the land to tend to the falcon, but no one could make the bird fly. He presented the task to the members of his court, but the next day, the king saw through the palace window that the bird had still not moved from its perch. Having tried everything else, the king thought to himself, "May be I need someone more familiar with the countryside to understand the nature of this problem." So he cried out to his court, "Go and get a farmer." In the morning, the king was thrilled to see the f

On having a pani puri

The excitement begins since the moment we are given plates to eat.This is just any other roadside stall where I have been with my 5 more foodie friends.But we have been eating here since we were very little.We all stand there with plates in our hands.My hearbeats start increasing as one by one we get one ‘puri’ each.It is filled with  cooked white peas, tamarind chutney and a spicy warm liquid made of jeera ,chilly and black  salt.As  we all get the puri..our tastebuds rejoice.The sweet,tangy,spicy,salty,warm crunchy,crisp  hits us. Again and again we are served a more puris each..as if it’s a marathon.We all savour each and every puri..Finally the last puri comes..we all eat a little slow .as it is the last puri :-(..We still relish it..enjoy it ..but it hurts a bit because that’s the end of our pani puri marathon…Now we are just looking forward to only one last thing “the Masala Puri” After we all had our six puris each..we get the last masala puri..it is a dry puri with the white

Manual for climbing mountains ..worth reading

Image
A] Choose the mountain you want to climb : don’t pay attention to what other people say, such as “that one’s more beautiful” or “this one’s easier”. You’ll be spending lots of energy and enthusiasm to reach your objective, so you’re the only one responsible and you should be sure of what you’re doing. B] Know how to get close to it : mountains are often seen from far off – beautiful, interesting, full of challenges. But what happens when we try to draw closer? Roads run all around them, flowers grow between you and your objective, what seemed so clear on the map is tough in real life. So try all the paths and all the tracks until eventually one day you’re standing in front of the top that you yearn to reach. C] Learn from someone who has already been up there : no matter how unique you feel, there is always someone who has had the same dream before you and ended up leaving marks that can make your journey easier; places to hang the rope, trails, broken branches to make the walking

Happiness

Happiness is mis-addressed emotion. When you seek it for yourself,it cannot be found But when you give it to others,it finds its way back to you

Paradigm Shift

Stephen Covey has used a wonderful example to explain paradigm shift in his Bestseller Book" The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People 'I remember a mini paradigm shift I experienced one Sunday morning on a subway in New York. People were sitting quietly - some reading newspapers, some lost in thought, some resting with their eyes closed. It was a calm and peaceful scene. Then suddenly, a man and his children entered the subway car. The children were so loud and rambunctious that instantly the whole climate changed. The man sat down next to me and closed his eyes, apparently oblivious to the situation. The children were yelling back and forth, throwing things, even grabbing people's papers. It was very disturbing. And yet, the man sitting next to me did nothing. It was difficult not to feel irritated. I could not believe that he could be so insensitive as to let his children run wild like that and do nothing about it, taking no responsibility at all. It was easy to see

Bless Your Money

Image
Whenever you spend money, even a single rupee, poise for moment and wish that the money would be use for a great philanthropic cause. Let it be used for fulfill someone’s hunger, let it be used to relieve someone’s pain, let it be used by someone to buy textbooks for study, let it be used to do something really good. What is the one thing you want to change in this world? Think about this and wish that the money you are spending be used for this cause. The logic is transmitting more and more positive energy to the omnipotent Universe. Remember every thought is energy; every thought is like a seed which when nurtured properly has the potential to become a tree. Every thought is potential action, potential change in your thinking, your behavior.
