Extreme care leads to complications

       Simplicity is always the best policy.Every action to be performed,is in general,governed by some simple ideas and rules and it is fairly enough that these ideas and rules are followed successfully.Unnecessary hype and over attitude is not at all beneficial.It often results in health deterioration,emotional breakdowns,etc.So,in addition to showing no good results,this phenomenon of 'over care' worsens the situation also.

       I am not talking about the (extreme) care which is required for some professionals like doctors,international players,athletes etc.It is that 'over care',adopted by people in some what trivial house hold and other things which is emphasized.

       This extreme care may be of many forms and in all of them the outline of attitude is almost identical.Here,I consider the case of raising a child, that to particularly dealing with an adolescent.Extreme care is a required character when the child is in toddler stage and until early and middle adolescence,but later,it is not good.Early and middle adolescences require that much care because that period is dangerous and needs elders' supervision.However,in the late stage of adolescence,individuals are like bird lings with fully developed feathers and they should be allowed to live on their own.By saying 'living on their own',I mean that they should be able to get hold on those important aspects which are to be handled by them in future like booking tickets,dealing with the youngsters and the elderly,shopping,etc.
       At the end,this small story will definitely give a hearty laugh.
                "Once upon a time, a boy lived who was raised by his grandmother.As we expect,she was of an over caring nature.This boy had already been treated a nerd among his friends.On a particular occasion,he had to go to a xerox shop for getting photocopies of some important papers.He had willingly asked his grandmother not to come with him with the intention of making it himself and had set off.While his work there had been in the middle,he had noticed his grandmother coming into the shop.He had tried to avoid being seen by her,but in vain.After she had enquired him about the safety of the originals among all others,huge amount of embarrassment had been the only feeling on his face!"

Sensitivity is the measure of maturity

Determination is the key to success

        Determination is a quality that makes one reach the summit of their purpose with a great ease.Miseries are common in every life cycle and worries are very frequent visitors.Drooping away for these things which occur in everyone's life is not at all correct.That individual who stands against all these adversities and be able to reach his goal,is considered venerable.
        However,the presence of mere determination also cannot lead to success when there is absence of enough self confidence.Self confidence naturally seems to wash away when the goal set for is too hard to achieve.Therefore,one must select the utmost right option that he can accomplish by all means,physically and mentally.Thus,the quality of Rationality seems to be the mother of determination because,once one feels that he has chosen the right task,the desire to achieve naturally springs and required amount of determination is also born.
        In some situations,there may be a wrong choice.That adoption of wrong choice may also be final.In such cases,it is better to do the work wholeheartedly with determination and achieve even a little bit of success than to completely abandon it and curse the fate.
        This is a poem that is specially intended for the passage.

            "It's dawn,My friend!Wake up!

              Heartily wake up My friend!

                                     

              Worry not My friend!For the grievances

              Of the morning will be withering as the day passes

                          See the sun My friend!

              He is smooth and sensitive at the day break

              And grows brighter towards the dusk

              Work hard My friend!For this is a quality
              That makes you worthy of the every loaf you earn
                          See the pecker My friend!
              He has been able to build so many houses
              Just because of this


              Accept challenges My friend!For they turn out to be sweet meats
              When done though they taste bitter in the beginning
                         See the human My friend!
              He has topped the world
              As he proved this"
        Possessing over determination will definitely lead to problems.If it is an exam and you do very well,then well and good.But if you failed in it,do not take dangerous decisions like killing yourself,etc.If the girl you liked does not accept your proposal,then it is fair to leave the thing than to create unnecessary hell by pouring acids or some sort on her on the name of taking revenge.After all,revenge is an unhealthy thing to possess.
        So,I conclude this passage by emphasizing that determination leads to success in most of the tasks,provided they are good and worthy,but not mean and vicious.

The missing and the hidden spiritualities

       This is a great moment.I think,probably,this is the only post till now,that is being written by me as soon as the incident making the body of this post took place.
       The day began in the usual manner but with a tinge of satisfaction in my heart as yesterday marked the end of my first set of exams in my professional course.Something seemed fresh and beautiful about the air though it is ,in its own way cruel and fearsome as it generally does in most of the winter days.Mixed with this satisfaction was a natural but strange feeling of performing still better in the next exams to come in the next semester.Strange in the sense that this feeling made me lose even my initial unhappiness of not going to my home as soon as the exams were over.
       However this was a day that contained many twists and turns,a day which had only a few similar  counterparts in the past.My grand mother ordered me to wash my sweaters today along with a detailed procedure of doing so and an added caution to wash them only in a machine.Now,finding a washing machine in the big hostel is easy,I thought.But,I never did washing in any machine in my hostel before and I do not the way how to do it.So, I called my great friend to help me in the matter to which he agreed and in a few minutes we both were on the journey.I had already expected that finding a 'free' washing machine was very difficult as I observed.All washing machines were brimming with clothes and there were lots of buckets in queue.What can I do?I never did washing in any machine in my hostel before and I do not know the way how to do it.So I decided to wait for my chance by leaving my bucket there and return when my turn would come.Mean while,my great friend and I sat down to watch a movie in his room.That was indeed a wonderful movie.After the movie was done, we had gone again to the machine only to find that it might take no less than four to five hours for our work.I had shifted the bucket to another washing machine.There too was an enough queue but this time,I decided to settle.However,here too I could not succeed and in frustration,I set out for washing myself.But oh!how horrible it is to wash such heavy things as sweaters!I was totally tired after the event.All the long,my great friend had been accompanying me.
       Also,there was an invitation to me yesterday to attend a spiritual course going to be held today in the evening given by a well wisher of mine in that organisation.But somehow,I began to feel bad and frightened about the organisation recently and I wanted to avoid attending.I could not tell him the same,so I agreed. But now,after doing a washing of this sort,I did not in the least wished to go and had decided to remain unavailable to him by running away from my room.
       My great friend welcomed me warmly.We had lots of things to talk and having an other friend also with us,we had a great time.We again watched the same movie that we watched in the morning and appreciated the depth of its plot once again.After dinner,my great friend took me again to his room saying that he was doing an experiment on people's mentalities lately and that he wanted to question me in the matter.After all,he was such a kind of person always,I thought,finding myself stepping into his room and during the next two hours,we had a really wonderful and appetizing discussion on things such as the psychologies of our friends,the people we know,etc.I would like to mention that the talk was no less than any kind of propoundings and philosophies and had a spirituality hidden deep inside it.On the other hand,I will very definitely feel that the discourse on spirituality would not have given me this much satisfaction over the day and thus I consider it to be a missing spirituality.Therefore the light and hearty discussion I had with my great friend  had better influence on me than the sophisticated spiritual discourse.I think finally that I have again a day that is unique in its own way with unexpected turns and events.
       Yes,it is really a great moment,before going to bed.

Indian writing nurtured.

True,Indian writing is being nurtured.Writing itself is a way of self conversation and is natural and free flowing for some individuals.They are indeed gifted.Furthermore,India is a land that bore witness to a very great collection of literature starting from the Vedas,puranas to the present day thought provoking movie songs (not all only some).Also India is the abode of  thousands of creative brains.Some of them present their endeavours to the development of science,by devoting themselves to pursuit of technical excellence while many others use their naturally sprung talent of writing,singing,dancing,etc.Even today we can see many musical concerts taking place everyday in big cities and often all of them are always fresh ,that is with a fresh content every time.Writing also falls under the same category.Writing creatively involves a lot of self thought,care and a fragrant freshness that promotes the writer to think newly all the time.
     In the way there is required a certain amount of encouragement to boost the nerves of a creative,yet fearful   writer.This task is being done by various forums and blog promoting websites particularly designed for Indians.Some of them are indiblogger and chillibreeze forums that are providing a lot of encouragement to Indian bloggers of late.These are organizing a lot of writing contests online and are thus harnessing the talent of young Indian writers.
    Finally it is worthy to note that when writing became online,encouraging also became online and the natural applause rendered to a writer is not at all lost in the blogosphere too.

Light and warmth

       Light is a primordial model of divinity and warmth is a correct depiction of the feeling of 'sense'.Light is omnipresent,omniscient and eternal revealing that it has many properties similar to those of The Almighty.It marks a sense of sensation and it always is living,joyful,hope giving and delightful.Being always associated with its sublime,subtle companion,warmth,it is within reach of everyone,physically too,provided there is sufficient mental setup to enjoy it.
       However,light does not confine itself as a physical entity but it comprises of a broader spectrum of coverage,example,of the beliefs and dis beliefs of a human heart,life and death of a living entity,etc.
       Belief is generally associated with a feeling of hope and light,naturally is a good hope giver.Thus,having belief ca n be thought of as 'being in light'.Coming to life and death,life is merely the presence of light in the body and death is its absence.The light is thus equivalent to the soul in many respects.Reflection of light is conveniently equivalent to thought process and refraction corresponds to the mending of way of life according to those that affect.On the whole,simply,light and warmth are the life givers.
       How about non living?Can light and heat sensitize them too?Yes,they can!Simple.You take an ordinary earthen bowl.Pour oil in it.Place wicks in it and lighten.Incredible!The three ingredients are non living but the light and warmth entered in their 'lives' has transformed their 'lives'.In a sense they are 'enlightened'.A sort of divinity and piety enters them and we see them to be sitting still and unperturbed in the cold air as if they are peacefully meditating upon the lord.They stand to be a proud instance for humility and an unconquerable instance of service.Such is the power of light and warmth.

       But,is it only the 'physical' light and warmth?No,clearly,'mental' light and warmth is a major contributor to the above mentioned success.The light of intellect driven along with the warmth of humility!The most striking feature of the Sanatana Dharma.With a light(an associated fire),one can very conveniently cause a havoc!However,this too is difficult to do unless you have intelligent brains.Then,where is the difference?The difference lies in the choice of application of the intelligent mind.The selection of right results in right and wrong in wrong.This ability of selection can be termed humility and is the essence of all the ponderings and preachings of the Sanatana Dharma.Not only Sanatana Dharma,the goal of life is almost the same according to all the dharmas.

       Through a festival like Deepavali,we come to know the in depth ideas of our ancients that lighting a lamp is a sign of resurrection,rise of hope,distribution of hope and love,awakening the light of the soul.An amavasya day marks the transition of 'the fall of the moon' and 'the rise of the moon' and not darkness itself.Thus,if an amavasya is anticipated to lead to the rise,it leads and if the other way,i.e.to the fall,it leads too.Therefore,lighting lamps on a Deepavali day is clearly a great ideal,a sound concept in both physical appearance and intellect,a blend of science and tradition,unique to the Sanatana Dharma.

Also,Steve Jobbs holds the recognition as a co-producer of many popular animated films like Toy Story,A bug's life,Toy Story 2,Monsters inc.,Finding Nemo,The Incredibles,Cars,Up,Toy Story 3,etc.all of them from Pixar studios.
However, he died recently on 5th of this month at a very early age of 56 years due to a chronic pancreatic cancer which is making him suffer for a good period of ten years around.Let us all wish that his soul may rest in peace.
Very recently,Jobbs had been to an A1 engineering college in India to address its students among whom was a friend of mine.After his interaction with Jobbs,my friend gave a message to me that Jobbs was a very nice human being and possessed a very striking feature,'lack of pride' which very few people of his cadre and  status have.Such is Jobbs' healthy personality and dominance of its own kind,the dominance that urges young generation to crop and reap innovations essential for the further development of world.Clearly,there would be no doubt in saying that Jobbs had inspired a lot many youngsters who may themselves form the foundations for upcoming 'apples','pixars',etc.

Sensitivity is the measure of maturity

       Along with sensibility,sensitivity also plays a very good role in determining one's character.While sensibility deals with the verdicts of the mind,sensitivity depends on those of the heart.We observe that the achievement of success in most of the professions requires a fairly good amount of sensibility compared to sensitivity.However,sensitivity as an adorable quality is superior to sensibility because many people are known to have sensibility but only some possess sensitivity.

       Sensitivity in general society may bean asset as well as a drawback depending on the tenets of the society.In a culture without very high productivity requirements and with a fairly good amount of freedom,sensitivity is an asset.Otherwise,it is a drawback.

       We also observe that most people who do not practise sensitivity at all,consider themselves to be more mature than those who do so.This belief provides us the sufficient idea about their immaturity.

       Usage of vulgar language while speaking serves with a very good example.When there exists magnificent,marvellous and enchanting literature in any language,there exist obscenities too.The thing is natural.But,"freedom of choice" rests with us and the choice we adopt,decides our level.The correct selection has some underlying flexibility as there may be instances where the usage of vulgar language is necessary,particularly when tackling the most foul in people.However,it may also be emphasized that the usage of vulgar language shall not be made natural,dominant,fun generating and colloquial.
