Envy and Jealousy

Envy, yes. jealousy, no. Envy is a natural emotion urging you to strive to be more. It is the two-year-old child yearning and urging herself to reach that doorknob which her big brother can reach. There is nothing wrong with that. There is nothing wrong with envy. It is a motivator. It is pure desire. It gives birth to greatness. Jealousy, on the other hand, is a fear-driven emotion making one willing for the other to have less. It is an emotion often based in bitterness. It proceeds from anger and leads to anger. And it kills. jealousy can kill. Anyone who’s been in a jealous triangle knows that. Jealousy kills, Envy gives birth. Courtesy Neale Donald Walsche

When you pretend to love

Every time you pretend to love, you impoverish yourself more and more. Love has great potential to enrich your life. But if you are just playing a role, pretending to love, it's only going to poison you. Because you are teaching yourself that it's just a game, ... and slowly but surely you will lose the capacity to open in love.

Tears

Image
They are more valuable than money.We unexpectedly and unknowingly spend them.They originate from heart and express tehmselves via eyes.Sometimes I wonder where does the water from tears comes from.Then I realised that when the heart undergoes cuts,bruises,burns..the eyes feel it and release the pain out.It bleeds but in form of tears. Then there are tears of joy which is the amount of happiness which the heart cant explain in words when it  feeling on cloud nine.Sometimes when we meet our loved ones after a long time,tears just flow out of your eyes.They signify all the time we missed them and all our fears thinking "what if we never see them?"Then  there are tears of physical pain, tears of regret,  tears of gratitude, tears of disappointment, tears of excitement and nervousness and tears of relief as well. The society has a very negative point of view of tears.So if you are "STRONG" you wont cry.I think tears is all about expressing yourself and not about bein

Stars are visible only when it is pitch dark

Sometimes we taken an unexplored part..An unknown way..in search of our dreams,passions.. In seach of ourselves..While exploring the unknown the sun sets on the horizon..there is no more light…You are still exploring yourself and the untold unseen path It starts getting darker and darker. The sounds of the unknown,the fear of the unknown makes you nervous.You hear howls of wolves, hooting of owls, cries of cats.You feel the fear creeping from the air.You sense your biggest fears coming true. And then in the pitch  dark you look up..you se the stars..The dark sky with m,illions of diamonds studded .The fear in you goes away and your mind .Take  a moment..stare at the stars..take a few breaths..appreciate them..Unless it is pitch dark you  cannot see the stars

Wheel of Life

Life is like a wheel. Sometimes, your on top and sometimes you're at the bottom. Sometimes somewhere in the middle as well. What is there on the top has to go down.And whatever is  at the bottom will go up. Nothing is permanent

Investments are subject to risks

Image
A very nice discussion I had with my close friend was about investments..investments which are the most riskiest The best but most risky investment one can make  are ones “feelings”. The assets in these pretext are the relationships. You may not know the rate of return on this. Some relationships are high return bearing. The more you invest the more returns you get. However some  relationships require a very high lock in period.You keep on investing your feelings.The more you invest the  “risk” is higher as more feelings are involved.Sometimes you may get fantastic returns.Much more than what you expect an that is how your happiness quotient is defined But if your luck is running low,you may get no return in that investment and your loss is phenomenal.You may spends days,months feeling bad about getting no returns..Well ,bad is an understatement. So why do we humans involve ourselves in this ?Is it better not to invest and not expect returns? The answer is no.Each one of us is

Twilight -New Moon..heart touching extracts

I began to suspect that I was having some kind of hallucination. Triggered, no doubt, by the memory—the deja vu, the strange familiarity of the situation. I ran through the possibilities quickly in my head. Option one: I was crazy. That was the layman's term for people who heard voices in their heads. Possible. Option two: My subconscious mind was giving me what it thought I wanted. This was wish fulfillment—a momentary relief from pain by embracing the incorrect idea that he cared whether I lived or died. Projecting what he would have said if A) he were here, and B) he would be in any way bothered by something bad happening to me. TIME PASSES. EVEN WHEN IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE. EVEN when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me. There was something to search for. Unattainable and impossible, uncaring and distracted… but he was out there, somewhere. I

Chinese Bamboo

Image
Paulo Coelho is one of my  favorite and interesting writers.He has always inspired me.Whatever he says has created a profound impact on my mind.Very recently I read his best seller book”Aleph”.The book has not only topped readers chart but have also influenced lot of people and their thinking. A very fantastic concept which he has explained in his book is  of a“Chinese Bamboo” Chinese Bamboo spends five years in its growth process as a little shoot, the only visible aspect of its existence. However, during those five years the Chinese Bamboo is developing its root system. After the five years of being a little shoot and developing its root system the Chinese Bamboo goes through a growth spurt and overtime becomes 25 meters high. Have you ever chased a dream,worked hard for a project,passion or given too much in a relationship but have quit it because you didn’t see the results right away? DO NOT QUIT. In all these time you are building the root of the bamboo which will make the

Post Effects of diwali

Just realised of having gained some pounds post Diwali..my mood changed from good to ok and ok to worst.I remembered all the hardwork in gym,forgoing on food cravings and all the time spent on jogging and felt it thrashed into my dust bin.After eating all the extra ghee yummy besan laddoos which Mom made,the lovely mithais and chocolates sent by aunties and faral sent by all my friends i felt it took 4 days to spill water over my 4 month long toil. Post Diwali blues were felt too when i reach office still thinking of all my lanterns rangolis as well as the lovely time i spent dressing up and looking my best in traditional clothes ;when the fact was that i was wearing my formal black shirt and gray trousers as a part of my power dressing to work:) One thing which bothered me really much was the effect of the crackers during diwali which polluted the atmosphere and gave me a throat pain which lasted till yesterday.Many people lose their hearing due to this,but as if w
