pleasing souls rather than people's ego.

I have a feeling about this  - what is God? i can safely conclude God is nothing but peace of mind.How can that be achieved? Well for once,peace of mind cannot be achieved when one is bound by desire for oneself.Bcoz with desire ,comes expectations and responsibility..
Then, What is the solution? Shouldnt a person have relationships,have children or get into a family mode?and if yes, aint i responsible for them, their future? and if yes,shouldnt i be thinking of achieving,accumalating wealth and save for the rainy day? all these actions are nothing but desire.
So what should i do?

First - Let your innerself dawn that people who are around you are independent souls.A person who says she is your wife - is also a being who is selfish - every being is selfish when he/she has expectations with the other.

Second - Seeing 'your people' happy gives u happiness,bcoz u think u have done ur responsibilities.It makes u happy as u have patted urself on ur back.It doesnt make u happy bcoz u have pleased a soul.So this is self gratificaton

Third - Lets renounce these souls as "ours"...they are not "my wife" ,"my daughter".They are souls around you.Continue to provide them with a decent way of life,but dont do it as they are "urs"

The test of this is

U shud get the same happiness when u feed an unknown child as u get when u feed "ur own"
When u feed a child from the orphanage it is called charity and when u feed ur own..it is called love....
how hypocritic? this happens bcoz u have the concept of "own" and "other"

To evolve further, try and make people around u smile,help the needy without the feel that "you" are helping them..in other words get selfless, train ur soul to do activitiy without self expectations...
Dont expect a person whom u helped to come and say thanks......if he says it ..its ok and doesnt concern you.....if he doesnt even acknowledge you ,it shudnt depress you as u didnt expect anything from him.

Lets see God in every human - lets strive to towards pleasing souls rather than people's ego.

My Abaper

Appreciate the value of an abaper,

He can make you rich or a pauper,

consider his common sense as gold,

When he does more than he is told

Is it you or him who is at fault,

No matter what.you are taken apart,

You cant depend on him and relax,

Its time,you learn to assemble syntax,

It takes some attitude to own it up,

To take all the blows and then get up,

Trust your senses and hang in there,

Be alert,next time around,take more care

He is one with you in the team,

Cover for him,like milk under cream

He is after all doing his best,

What will you achieve putting him to test

Mon Cher Ami - Bhartendu

With a blurred  vision, i came,
But you made me feel,it is the same,
Not sure of what to expect here,
But you made me feel home is near.

My heart melts,my eyes water,
Emotions run high for that matter,
Your caring embrace,that radiant smile,
gave me courage to go more than a mile.

When it came to hunger,you fed me,
Shared your bread for my sake,
Shelter was a problem as it was to be,
You solved it all,did it without a stake.

I cannot thank you enough still,
For comforting me like your very own,
That golden heart of yours will,
Give you more, than you have ever known,

Cannot redeem this,you noble souls,
May God fulfill all your true goals,
Thankful, to meet you and know you,
Bhartendu - Friends like you are far and few

Go live - a lost cause

Will we ever Go Live?
Will we ever hit High Five?
Seems so far,ever moving,
Dont know when i m leaving.

...Without a ticket,feel alone,
Good times seem all gone,
Miss home so much more,
No clue now what is in store.

 

All efforts seem a lost cause,

Its more serious than a pause,

All efforts lead to a stale mate,

How treacherous is this fate?

 

Is there not a way out from here,

Is it that bad as i ruefully fear,

Can we all pull the trump car out,

Force a Go live,cause a rout.

Feb 3rd - A new life

 

 

A new life was born now,
Cant imagine , how,
God Bless her,be with her,
Today,tommorow and ever.

...Born ahead of time,
She is as fresh as sweet lime,
Her parents are on the moon,
Will give her a good name soon.

Elated,happy and tired is,
her mother after all this,
Let her take rest in company of,
This little angle,she can boast of.

Inspirational words from Rocky Balboa

Rocky Balboa Inspirational Speech to his son You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life, but it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take and keep moving forward, that's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth, go out and get what you're worth, but you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you, you're better than that! Until you start believing in yourself, you ain't gonna have a life.

Caught in Jeddah Floods - 26/01/2011

26th January 2011 witnessed one of the worst flash floods in Jeddah city in Saudi Arabia.Jeddah which is the commercial capital of saudia arabia was hit by a 2 hour thunderstorm that left behind unpreceedented carnage and wrecked havoc in the city.People were caught unawares of the situation and soon the roads were flooded and traffic came to a stand still.The city has a history of poor drainage systems as it was never to be predicted that Jeddah which is practically in the middle of a desert will ever experience 91 mm of rain in a day.The proximity to the sea proved to be the biggest danger as the sea water threatened to enter the city to wipe out what was an already devastated city.
We were at the office when all this happened and soon it dawned on us that we should also get going of we faced the danger of being stranded in office in an alien country to fend for ourselves.We looked out for organised help and support from SVA (our client) and our project manangement.But such was the pandemonium that noone was ready to lend a ear,leave alone a helping hand.
We decided to fend for ourselves and left the premises in the SUV of one of our friends.Water levels were right up to the tyres when we left and it appeared to be an impossible task to wade through waist high waters in the SUV.Still we took our chances and tried to drive through the parking lot.By the time we were on the roads, the water was gushing around flowing in torrents.The current flow was amazing and we could feel that the wheels of the vehicle were not on the ground many a time.We managed to drive for a 100 meters, when we were directed by the Civil Defence Personnel to stop and park the car nearby as water levels further down King Fahd road were more that waist level.
We parked our car near the Sharafiah signal and decided to walk down to Hotel Marriot.In a crisis situation no organisation comes to help.Marriot disowned us when we called for help and so did the other hotels nearby.It was each man on his own.
During such times, the inner strength is tested and one has to act on his instincts and local knowledge.We walked for another hour in shoulder high waters in flowing water to reach the hotel.This is one experience that i hate narrating,but will be etched in my memory and in those of all the people who were witnessed to nature's wrath on THE BLACK WEDNESDAY - 26th Jan 2011
