Life, as I see it

Birds are not scared of vast, lonely sky, They do not fear thousand metres of height. Birds do not ever doubt whether they can fly, They know God will support them with all His might. Fish do not wish they lived on sand or earth, They are not bored floating through big ocean without rest. Fish do not worry if water would get cold or dirt, They believe God would have chosen the best. Ants are not sad for their black color or small size, They do not hate being less capable to survive. Ants move in queue , work all time, no woes or cries, They would do as God wants with calm and delight. Plants live a life of 'Give to all' without exception, They work all day to make fruits they cannot eat. Plants do not push, mock or kill their weaker sections, They execute God's plan, with utmost respect they treat. Animals share the jungle, create no walls or partitions, The sky, sea, trees, grass are free, no one's belonging. Each frog can sing, jump or play without competition, Pride...

We even breathe in what other fellow living beings breathe out, how equal and united we are in nature's eyes. How could we ever think of racism, religious/country separatism, suppressing the weak or animals/plant life and keeping the best for ourselves instead of sharing with all with love and kindness. Are we deaf to nature's message? The best way to deal with an enemy is not to think about him/her at all. All the efforts to make you feel bad or uncomfortable go waste and he is defeated while you keep your mind undistracted n smile preserved :) To win against corruption or unethical behaviour - The secret is persistence, follow-up and not giving-in for sake of comfort or small benefits which are offered sometimes in such cases. Stay with what you want and escalate in proper language, you may need to hold on but finally it works.‎ 'Keeping an upright spinal cord' transformed a chimpanzee into man. Let our thoughts and deeds enable us to continue keeping an upright...

  3-4 years ago, in one conference, an introduction to ‘Parivaar’ was given and few pamphlets distributed about the same. Out of much information shared during the event, I found this one appealing. I went home and checked the website "http://www.parivaar.org" and also corresponded with the incubator Mr. Vinayak Lohani on email. I could clearly visualize some great work happening and asked him if he had any plans of starting something similar near Bangalore and hiring people? :) An obvious not immediately, after that Parivaar was not in my day to day list but in my mind, I wished to visit the place someday. Few, months back when I knew I would be going to Kolkata, Parivaar was among the first 3 things that came into my mind, along with Mother Teresa’s ashram and Belur math. Finally, today I was able to make this long pending wish come true. I reached the place around 2 hours later than planned and during this period was made comfortable by multiple calls of Mr. Nimai S...

We are all potential liars , pretentious characters ; even the most truthful ones among us. This is because we are trying to hide our true feelings, our true thoughts and present them to the world in a way they would like to see or the way we would like them to understand. This is true for almost all of us, though the level of pretension and presentation may differ enormously from person to person. When we present our created truth to others, successfully, it feels good about being able to fool them into believing it. This works fine in some cases and people do believe what is presented to them. This may be a case when we are dealing with either strangers, ignorant or dumb people. However, with other people it just doesn't work. Though, they may play back our own trick and respond in agreement, but deep within their heart, they know it all. Our family, friends, colleagues, people who may interact with us often and some smart (knowledgeable of the topic of discussion or worldly ...
