Open Mind

Life is a fair trade;

I bet you try and behave;

Those who seek good

     will be bestowed best;

Those who seek bad

       will have a fallen edge;

If you have an open mind;

These laws will never be secrets;

So, understand and play the game;

Those who succeed will earn 

their name and fame;

Slumber to Glory

She was lying in deep slumber;

Not knowing the fire brewing within;

It grew and grew and set her ablaze;

The eternal magnificence flew and cast its shadow;

The fire ignited the slumber cells;

One by one they refreshed at her will;

From crushed ones to cosmic genes;

The system refreshed and she rose;

The slumber mode changed to supersonic;

She was surrounded by ethereal beauty;

The warmth from the sun glittered her soul;

She raised her hands in gratitude and smile;

Roses and lilies bloomed with freshness;

She stood there as the epicenter of power;

Peace and love stood as the pillars of strength;

She continued a journey with the elements of glory;

Organic Thoughts..

A minuscule of  thought is born;

Sometimes it's born with a thorn;

It grows and enlarges like a corn;

If I leave it unnoticed, it becomes a scorn;

It sails and nudges the healthy brain;

Inch by inch it pricks and pain;

All my effort was going in vain;

Those mini thoughts come again and again;

My conscience for organic thoughts rose above;

It sparkled my awareness and love;

The thorny molecules were covered in glove;

My conscience for organic thoughts rose above;

Sometimes life is sharp as a knife;

Living will not be a glory with epidemic rife;

Organic living is my way of life;

To love my life without any strife;

Love

Love expressed at the right time will bring memories of ecstasy. After watching this video, I felt more loving and caring. 

Also I remembered these lines from Kahlil Gibran 

"Your children are not your children.

They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you,

And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you"

This video speaks all about love. No wonder you will be in tears after watching this. Let the love overflow from within and make a difference to your loved ones.

Don't Give up

Whenever I see a victory triumph in any video, that makes me cry in happiness. This video will truly bring a Blissful experience to you. This incident happened during the 92 Barcelona Olympics.

Derek Edmond was participating in the 92 Olympics as a sprinter. After a while his hamstring got hurt and he couldn't run. At that moment, Derek's father came down from the watching arena to support and accompany his son to reach the goal. 

When Derek’s father came and helped him, it makes me think that it doesn’t matter how old is the son, we need to be there and support them in every moment of their life. True, they need our support and motivation in everything they do. Derek’s father didn’t sit there quietly thinking my son is big enough to complete the race by himself or if I go there now and help him what will the world think of me.

It doesn’t matter what the world thinks about me, but I should follow what my instinct instruct me to do whichever is right and appropriate.

Life term Learning

Last week, I and my son were in full preparation for the Math Assessment. While preparing we realized that some concepts were not deeply imbibed in him. I was shocked to see the state as we had only one day left for the exam. While we were preparing for the exam he was very focused on the exam point of view. He was trying to learn everything necessary for the exam day. I had a discussion with him and said, "Whatever we are learning, it's for a lifetime, We are not just learning for the exam. Once you learn them carry that for the rest of your life". Once I said that he changed his perspective. 

After the exams too, we started to play and discuss with fractions and decimals. I strongly believe whatever we teach them it's for their lifetime, not just for the exam purpose which will help them to look at life in a longer run. Otherwise they just learn, score marks and the next year if we ask them the basics it would have already erased from their mind. Any learning in life, should be carried for lifetime then it's worth learning. The learning which meant to satisfy a short term goal will never reach super destination in life.

Citizenship

No matter where you live;

Love is all one can give;

Hurt and revenge let's forgive;

Let's make the peace survive;

The world is a global place;

Borders are just a trace;

Everyone has an equal base;

Live life at your own pace;

Citizenship is a responsibility;

Living by values is an ability;

Citizenship is an opportunity;

I also believe it is a security;

The region or place doesn't matter;

Let the peace and love flow and scatter;

Let us not take the world for granted;

A simple living is all we wanted;

Contented Smile

Yesterday while I was back from my Yoga class, I saw two packets of milk being kept outside my Neighbor's window. I thought she may come late and pick up. Later while I left for some other work, I saw the two packets lying there. I realized she was not at home. She forgot to give any instruction to the Milk man or to me. I thought if they are outside for a long time, when she comes back home they are going to get spoiled. So I took them and kept in the fridge. It was a long time, I didn't receive any call from her. I called her around PM in the night and asked her whereabouts. She said,"I am outside. I will be back home only after 2 hours".

Today morning I gave those packets of milk to her. She was very happy. She said, "If the milk is good, I will use it otherwise I will make Paneer (Indian Fresh Cheese) out of it". When I see someone smiling in contentment, I feel happy. If you receive applause at the beginning of the day itself, your day will go super good throughout the whole day. I know it's a simple kind act. But if we can do that without expecting anything in return, world will evolve in kindness and there will be unity in diversity everywhere irrespective of any region you belong.

Itsy Bitsy Spider - New Version

By the grace of HIM, the third rhyme in the series of Derived Rhymes has been released. The Rhyme is all about how an Itsy Bitsy Spider went inside the kitchen spout and got stuck inside. Finally his patience and perseverance made all the way to glory.

This can be related for our life too. We individuals sometimes get stuck in our life and challenges like a spiral loop and not able to come out. Very often we think we are not able to achieve in life the way we wanted to. However if we are willing to put the right amount of effort and if we also have the patience and perseverance we can definitely reach the destination with higher self just like "Itsy Bitsy Spidey".
