Diary Entry: Learning from People around Us

Today I was at Mount Carmel College, Bangalore for a event. I could see all kinds of girls dressed in all kinds of dresses talking random shit showing unnecessary attitude. There was this old man, really old and had some problem as he was unable to walk straight. It looked like his whole body was shaking whenever he moved. His job was to pick-up litter all around the college. In his condition I would it was more than tiring and really difficult. I watched him for around 6 hours while I was there. I didn't any girl giving him any respect or anything to eat, instead they would increase his work more by throwing the garbage randomly anywhere.

But this man relentlessly went on doing his work, all 6 hours while I was there. I did not see him rest for even 5 minutes. After watching him for around 5 hours I was beginning to think that people complain about their jobs but this man, I did not even see a frown on his face all this while. He kept ever-smiling and happy to everyone who he saw.

Then at around 3o'clock this guy from Pizza-Hut stall picked up a pizza box for which he had paid from his own pocket and gave it to the old man free of cost. I was amazed as well as ashamed that I could not think of doing this. I felt respect from my heart for the Guy and was happy for the old man. I realized that everyone in this world is not negligent.

I learned that the people around us are really like teachers to us. We just have to observant and accepting to learn things from them. The old man taught me never to complain about anything and keep a smiling face. The guy from Pizza Hut taught me to be generous and kind to everyone without discrimination.

Why does human mind despair?

Why do we falter? Why does our heart sometimes feel like losing hope? This is something all of us must have thought at least once in our lifetime. We always intend to do something in a way we planned. And we hope that the plan would be successful. We cling to a positive feeling called 'Hope'. This gives us strength to move forward. We always proceed with a thought that the drama of life, for once, will go as we planned. We do things with the thought of future success. But is it ever the way we think, no, we hope it would be? Some of us have a strong heart. They do not falter. They do not lose hope. They do not have the fear of failure. And so they move with strong conviction. But most of us are afraid to lose hope. We hesitate while making decisions. We have doubts in our minds. Our hearts are weak and we cannot be convicted to one plan and one path. Thus we fail time and again. People with strong heart have attachments to something or someone. These attachm...

The Secret of the Nagas (Shiva Trilogy #2)

The Secret of the Nagas by: Amish Tripathi Rating: 4.2/5.0 Today, He is a God. 4000 years ago, He was just a man. The hunt is on. The sinister Naga warrior has killed his friend Brahaspati and now stalks his wife Sati. Shiva, the Tibetan immigrant who is the prophesied destroyer of evil, will not rest till he finds his demonic adversary. His vengeance and the path to evil will lead him to the door of the Nagas, the serpent people. Of that he is certain. The evidence of the malevolent rise of evil is everywhere. A kingdom is dying as it is held to ransom for a miracle drug. A crown prince is murdered. The Vasudevs Shivas philosopher guides betray his unquestioning faith as they take the aid of the dark side. Even the perfect empire, Meluha is riddled with a terrible secret in Maika, the city of births. Unknown to Shiva, a master puppeteer is playing a grand game. In a journey that will take him across the length and breadth of ancient India, Shiva...

Number 0 - Numerology

In Numerology the number 0 is often not used, though I consider it to be one of the most valuable numbers in numerology as it enhances any other number that appears with (before, or after). It can be thought of as a two dimensional spiral of divine force representing both female and male qualities. The number zero is represented by the Moon and vibrationally by eternity and the sound of the OM. From this sound (or vibration) all other numbers came. Inside of the circle (representing our universe) you can think of all other things existing. If you think of this circle as enclosing all physical space in the universe you will see that it contains all of the other elements of the universe inside of it (earth, water, fire, air, and the ether itself).
