FEAR OF "UNKNOWN"

Remember when you were a child , you used to fear darkness isn't it? Have you ever wondered why at that stage you were scared of being alone , scared of dark nights and scared of those ghosts stories where devilish monsters were described in a very vivid manner which triggered your mind to reach new dimensions and imagine all that probably never existed.

"FEAR OF UNKNOWN" that's what flashes in my mind when i think about the above instance , the fear of seeing the unseen , the fear of hearing the unheard and the fear of experiencing an unimaginable threat. Brooding or knitting your own thoughts over something which is away from reality and unexpected leads to the state where you feel this fear.

Do you think that this fear leaves you when you grow up to become an adult? It is something that never leaves you. At all stages of your life whether it is about taking vital decisions , in your career , in your relations the factor of uncertainity is introduced which generates fear which is the fear of unknown.

Think about it why the farmers at singur are resisting the govt's decision of setting up TATA's small car industry over their land which is the ultimate source of their livelihood. Those farmers have never been in that social setup where people grow with organizations , industrialisation and various other modern sectors. 'INDUSTRIALISATION FOR THEM' is just like 'DEMON IN THE DARK FOR A SMALL CHILD' which will engulf their livelihood if they entered this darkness. Ignorance towards the growing world has created this instinct of losing all possessions and has created this fear about which i have been talking till now. The action of forcing or imposing such govt.'s decisions on this particular sect of society won't offer any solutions. What's required here is the light of awareness and education.

As in case of the small child a light bulb or any source of light in dark is a ray of hope and lessens the fear in his mind, similarly the light of awareness and knowledge will lessen the fear in the minds of these poor farmers.

MOTIVATION --- ALWAYS MAKES YOU GROW

Hi friends,
Motivation is the word which has caught my attention these days.In my 1st sem of MBA i went across many motivational theories like
--- Abraham maslow's need hierarchy.
--- ERG theory.
--- Herzberg's motivational theory.
The list of such theories goes on and on and on.......... Motivation is one word that commands the growth of our life.Everytime a person goes out to reach to some goal or aim in life it is motivation which drives him, that gets him into groove to achieve something.Just think while studying, while working, while doing any activity there is some factor which always enhances your performance, your outputs and that factor is MOTIVATION , even if you are not aware of it, in your subconscious mind that factor plays.
If this factor is missing in your life then you need to sit and give it a real serious thought.Make some arrangement to motivate yourselves.
Motivate yourself by motivating others thats my personal point of view.GIVE THIS ONE A GOOD THOUGHT AND APPLY IN YOUR LIVES.
Best of luck to all the readers in their professional and personal life.

"COMING BACK TO LIFE"

Where were you when I was burned and brokenWhile the days slipped by from my window watchingWhere were you when I was hurt and helplessBecause the things you say and the things you do surround meWhile you were hanging yourself on someone else's wordsDying to believe in what you heardI was staring straight into the shining sunLost in thought and lost in timeWhile the seeds of lifeand the seeds of change were plantedOutside the rain fell dark and slowWhile I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastimeI took a heavenly ride through our silenceI knew the moment had arrivedFor killing the past and coming back to lifeI took a heavenly ride through our silenceI knew the waiting had begunAnd headed straight..into the shining sun

INDIA OF MY DREAMS

Defining India
A dream land with peace and brotherhood ingrained in all the souls, where sentiments, human emotions and relations carry meaning and are prioritized; where sufferers, indigent and benefited are always helped. We all walk hand in hand and face all troubles happily and boldly. This is what actually our nation is.
Reality
We hold in our hands the destiny of our motherland. The dream of a united India which is recognized respected and admired by the whole world.
The picture of the nation defined as above was the vision and a sweet dream in the eyes of those great freedom fighters, the people who sacrificed their lives just for the cause of the nation and for us ‘the youth of present’.
We, the present young generation, the present countryman must be ashamed of ourselves as we have failed miserably on fulfilling the dreams of those great souls. In my opinion we have ruined our nation and destroyed their dreams which they had seen and cherished for us. I think we haven’t lived up to their expectations.
My dear fellow students and countrymen please broaden your views and scope of thinking. Take up the responsibility of the nation; think about the nation, the aspirations and sufferings of the lower strata of society.
Please rise up, wake up, arouse your souls, and don’t be dead and stop taking up limited aims in your lives at personal levels. Its is our own responsibility not only to nourish our own lives but also make an effort of making India a better place to live in.
We have to go a long way for cherishing those beautiful dreams and vision of peaceful and united India.
Let the REVOLUTION begin.

A Nice Article about Love

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me.
Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool,
she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this: "You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love.

This was how I saw it:
As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain
there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your
fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.

This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love ... they try to posses it, they demand, they expect ... and just like the
water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you. For love is meant to be free, you can not change its nature.
If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.

Give and don't expect.
Advise, but don't order.
Ask, but never demand.

It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice.
It is the secret to true love.To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel
no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional
caring."
Passing thought ...Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take;
but by the moments that take our breath away.
It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime
