Evil with no hands

One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego; the self is more distant than any star.
                                                                                                        

            Gilbert K. Chesterton

When Neil Armstrong reached on moon all gods were seeing this progress of humans. They all were pleased though there was a thing which was bothering them and the very reason behind their worry was “if mankind has reached moon, someday they could find the heaven too so where would we all go?” Groping their whole mind when they didn’t get any proper solution they decided to ask this to “lord of lords” lord Shiva.

They all went to lord Shiva and ask this question.

“As you know humans has reached at moon and they are too near to get to know the hidden facts of the universe. We all are thinking that now someday they will find us too. Please tell us a place to live that humans can never find.”

Lord Shiva was listening this calmly and was smiling. Hearing them lord Shiva replied.

There is no need to worry about that because from the beginning we all have known that someday humans will make this so when we created this universe I created a place too where we all can live. That very place is secured by many gates and fences. If any human want to see us clearly he has to cross all those gates and fences.   

What place is that? (Lord Indra asked back, gaping at others)

 That place is inside ‘human heart’. Humans will try to find us in whole universe but they will never try to do so inside themselves.

Getting the answer of their problem all gods was pleased though they ask one more thing.

 So how could humans get us and what are those fences which humans have to cross to get us?

If any human want to get us, he will have to follow the way of truth and equality. When he will start moving on this path ahead he will face a giant evil and His name is ‘ego’.

One lord asks further that how could powerless human get the victory over this giant evil? It will be an unfair with humans?

Lord Shiva replied taking a deep breath “Every way is always named on the name of its destination. If one walks on this very way he will reach at the destination of truth and equality. The only way to get is to defeat this ego and the only way to get victory over this ego is ‘follow the way of truth and equality’.

Every human is same so if one lives in his ego and overlook the truth then he will never get us. And most importantly here ‘we or god’ means “The treasure of happiness and the treasure of prosperity”.

Now I have to go in my meditation again so will you please take a leave for now? Saying this lord Shiva closed his eyes and went into Samadhi.

All gods were too happy to get the proper solution of their greatest worry.

My takeaway is that the only way to get rid of this so called feeling of ego is that you have to unveil the curtain discrimination. We all are humans and we all are same. There is no difference between us.  The moment you realize this reality and treat everyone with equality and love at the very moment you get the victory over this evil of ego and takes a step ahead to get the god.

Ten ways to impress your girlfriend

Well!!! Before you read my ten tips I got a very special trick to tell you. Generally what boys thinks that gifts are the best ways to keep your relationship ever lasting. But you know gifts are the only thing that creates the biggest blunders in any lovely relationship. 

If you often find yourself standing in front of her with a gift or you often find yourself selecting any gift for her then I bet you are in a big trouble. 

And the reason is you want her to be you only as long as she is in love with you. You know why? Because you want her to be with you only as long as she’s in love with you. If you create other incentives for being with you, chances are she’ll hang around. She could make a fool of you by cheating you into believing that she loves you) even if she’s not in love with you at some future point of time.

So here are ten ways to impress your girlfriend without investing a single penny.

Listen to her: - You know, Girls are the most sensitive and emotional creatures. Their mind works like a butterfly. They spend their whole day just to think things which are senseless in our sense. No matter you have any interest or not just listen to her carefully and don’t forget to give your honest feedback.

Tell her those three words: - May be you don’t like repeating same line again and again but she definitely likes to hear that same line often. And she wants to hear this line in front of her friends. So whenever you get the chance to tell her these words don’t miss that. A simple and true “I love you” is thousand times better then any other thing.

Cook for her: - Whenever you get the chance to cook for her, don’t miss that opportunity.

It doesn’t matter that you know cooking or not just try to cook anything. Well!!! If you don’t even know A B C D of cooking then also start with some simple food items. Bread butter jam could be the best way round to start impressing your girlfriend by cooking.

Be nice to her family: - Most girls are really big on family. They really love and respect their family members. So never ever say anything wrong for her family. And by mistake you have said anything wrong then say sorry thousand times. And if you have entry in her house then don’t you forget to impress her family too.

Give her due attention: - If she is with you don’t you ever stare other girls not even in a naughty way.

Make her laugh: - The old saying is true. Girls do adore men with a sense of humor. If you really love her then you too will definitely want to see her laughing. So try it often and keep trying try even if you are not that good in this.

Compliment her on her looks: - It makes her feel feminine. A romantic relationship with a man is first of all a celebration of a girl’s femininity, which is pampered when you appreciate her beauty. But don’t fake it. Praise her looks only at those moments when she looks particularly attractive to you

Write her a letter: - Well!!! If you will ask me the best way in these ten ways I would certainly point out this one. Try to give words to your feelings. Write a letter to her every weekend even if you are next door neighbors.

Call her at random times: - Another way to impress your girlfriend is to call her during times that she would not normally expect you to call her. Call her in the morning just to tell her that you are thinking of her or call her at work just to let her know that you miss her.

Good manners really impress a woman: - Now you may think that the modern woman does not want the door opened for her because she is independent and so on - but this is not the case today as it wasn't yesterday. Women like good manners.

Some Final Words: -

Guy's if you are really serious about getting the girl of your dreams then you need to seriously work on solid techniques to achieve your goal. There are thousand other ways and to do things that you will certainly want to know so read this blog and do spread love.

Do you think I forgot to add some necessary points above, feel free to give your comments in comment section.

Logo ka kaam hai kehna !!!

I remember the date well 20^th june 2007. I was about to take one of the biggest decisions of my life. I had to take a decision! It was getting late!! I was done with my senior secondary but scored awful and got just 59.69%. There were too many ways open to me. I could have done C.A. (well in reality I couldn’t have), I could join any other course though hearing my heart’s voice I chose a totally different way.

My Nani told me this story and to be honest that was the last time when I thought “what would people think?”

Journey begins with a grandpa, his grandson and their donkey! They were travelling to a distant village and had to pass by many other villages before reaching their final destination .And they started , grandpa , grandson sitting on their donkey. They reach the first village, and as soon as they enter they find a few people telling "Look at them! How insensitive?! They are healthy enough to walk and are yet torturing the poor, weak donkey. ”They immediately get down and start walking alongside the donkey, continuing their journey. They reach the next village and again they hear people talking about them! "Hahah..look at those fools ! They have a donkey and are yet walking by its side! How dumb!!" Listening to that, they decide that only one of them will sit at donkeys back. That way they could use the donkey for traveling and donkey too won't be burdened .The grandson lets his grandpa to sit on the donkey . They further travel and reach the next village. They once again hear people commenting on them "Look at how cruel the grandpa is !! He is making that poor boy walk in the scorching heat of the sun and is nicely enjoying the ride all by himself!!" Feeling as if he had committed the biggest crime, grandpa got down in a split second and let grandson sit on the donkey and they continue. Next stop. "Look what an excruciator that little boy is! Being young he can walk miles but he is making his old grandfather do that. kalyug.kalyug ! "

                   So it's pretty clear, eh? People will always talk, no matter what you do.... they will always find some or the other flaw to gossip!! So do we really care about them? So much so that we sometimes sacrifice our dreams, sacrifice being what we are, and sacrifice taking decisions that would change our life for the better?

Or sometimes just brood over some bullshit rumors that we hear about ourselves? Are these people and their talks this important? Morons - that is what I love to call them, draw conclusions without prior knowledge and spread it like wild fire. So next time you have something up in your mind , before considering what people would think , why not first consider if you like it or if your virtues / conscience allows you to do so ..... Because if the "latter ones in place and you own their wife and kids" (social network) ;)                                                            

                                                  And as they say:

                              "Great minds discuss ideas ,
                                          average minds discuss events,
                                          small minds discuss people!"

Say that 'You love them'

I read this really touching story from one of the books long back… which holds a real important truth we neglect or don’t pay heed to…before getting to that point I would like to share a story.

It was about a guy in high school , he loved his school , friends and most importantly his PARENTS . One night he was just thanking god for making his life so near to perfect . He could see his dad from the open door , sitting and working on his laptop for some important presentation he had the next day , and all of a sudden this boy felt sooo much of love and respect for his dad that he wanted to go there , hug him and tell him i love you dad ! and then he  hushed the feelings away just as soon, as they had come thinking c'mon a guy isn't supposed to tell such stuff to another guy...it's not a guy-thing ! The next day he went to his school , had fun like he normally has , teased his friends like he normally does , and left from the school as he normally does , little did he know that it wasn't going to be a normal day ! On coming back home he found way too many people in the backyard , he was confused ... "was it mom's birthday today ? nahh...may be their anniversary ? What’s so special about today?" he went straight inside to find out and had to face the hardest moment of his life.... his dad was lying there , right in front of him , lifeless , with bruises , he couldn't come to terms with the reality . His dad had met with an accident on his way back home, leaving him spot dead .Tears filled his eyes and emptiness his heart . He hugged his dad , said him i love you , but it was too late . He felt bad for not letting his dad know how much he loved him and respected him last night , even though he would always fight with him for petty issues like pocket money or for permission for a Saturday pyjama party in order to escape spending time with the family.He thought it was boring and uncool to sit and spend time with parents , not anymore , now he regretted everything he had ever said , every time he bunked to avoid spending time with his dad . But nothing could be changed . It was too late .

                                             I hope you guys must have by now guessed what i was trying to convey . Just like this boy , most of us take our families for granted , we love them but we never express , we think we are gonna live forever ! We think THEY are gonna live forever . But life has it's own plans . So why not love them , express our feelings to them when we are all together instead of regretting later ! And not only that but then living life , doing everything we love NOW ! Not procrastinating things for next summer or next Christmas ... who know if you would still breath ? And most importantly you live only once , so live it king size , make most of every second , live in the now ,  Because we never know if tomorrow comes.There's nothing as mysterious and as unpredictable as life is and like they say ;
                                      "Take chances,tell the truth ,
                                  spend the money on the things you love,
                                  get to know somebody random,
                                  say i love you to someone in life,
                                           feel the true love,
                                  tell the idiot how he/she hurts you,
                                  abuse someone who deserves it,
                                  sit alone,watch the rain and cry,
                                  laugh till your stomach pains,
                                  dance even if you are bad at it,
                                  pose stupidly for photos,
                                  give someone a hug when they need it and
                                  make sure to get one when you do,
                                  be naughty like a child
                                           live it !
                                          love it!

                              because -- "You only live once ,
                                              but if you do it right , 
                                                once is enough ;) !  " - Mae west
