A Good Deed - Selfish / Selfless

Keep up the good work....and dont turn back...:)

HI,

Have you ever felt that something is troubling you and you dunno what it is?

I was in a state for a few days, when I realized “Its life” we dunno and that is what actually bothers us.. We presume something and it’s something else in actual…

In which case, “is it worth getting worried?” one may ask…… I don’t know

Do good & Go to heaven...else (Amazing how they scare us...)

I’ve heard people say - Do good and you’ll be rewarded … but does it happen? Who would’ve brought this thought and what would’ve been his intention might be a question to ask oneself, at least that’s what I think.

So if I do a good deed today does it mean that I’ll be treated good?– If a Lizard spares the life of a fly thinking in the above quoted terms will the Cat feel the same way and not harm its meal (Lizard)? Well I don’t think that’s ever possible.

People will always (“ALWAYS”) take advantage of the good people and I guess that’s why they promote goodness as well.

Do Good and forget..

So does this mean we shouldn’t do good? Nope… I never meant that… All I’m saying is that never expect something good in return for the good you’ve done… that act won’t be considered as Helping…it’ll be considered as being selfish (you be good to me, as I’ve been good to others)

I feel that, the minute u feel that you’re doing a good deed, that’s when the expectation grows. So just do a good deed and forget... why grow on expectation...

A good friend of mine, told me that Happiness is measured in terms of a formula [Happiness = (Fulfilled Desires) FD / (Total Desires) TD]. So if you want to be happy then either fulfill all your desires, or reduce the number of desires, the latter sounds easier doesn’t it? At least It does to me.

“Well so doing good deeds is good but expecting good in return is bad.”

 We humans love analyzing, calculating everything and that’s why it doesn’t add up when someone says don’t expect good in return; because 1 – 1 = 0 (where +1 = doing good and -1 = expecting it in return). We love getting it to “0” (and why shouldn’t we? We invented it din we? J).

From Your Heart....

Do Animals think??

Do Animals think??

Hi Guys,

Hmmmm....

Wanted to start this blog with an interesting topic…

We all see animals (all kinds of animals) in our daily life;

• ·        Do Animals think?
• ·         What do you think will be running in their mind?
• ·         How can they not get tensed in life, stay completely relaxed?
• ·         Not caring if tomorrow is going to be tough or anything.
• ·         What do they do?
• ·         How can they just live?

Well many more questions were running my mind.

What can i say...

It all started in Delhi, when I saw a mule carrying a heap of mud on its back (heavy of course), got me thinking-what was ‘it’ thinking…

I know that they think, but what do they think?

It was interesting and I started a research on it, asked few people.  Some of them gave a common answer – ‘Obviously they think, but they don’t rationalize’. Hmmm interesting answer, but not convincing enough. Must be more to it, not that easy and simple is it?

So I searched few websites and did a bit of research, websites like:

• ·         http://kottke.org/10/11/do-animals-think
• ·         http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2002/03.14/01-thinking.html
• ·         http://www.studyenglishtoday.net/can_animals_think.html

All these websites have a little more to add to our discussion. They have proof that animals do think and some of them even analyze.

Well this answers our first question… Now to break up the second one, what will be running in their mind? That would be tough… but we’ll concentrate only on the outline and not in depth, we’ll try to generalize it.

Joseph LeDoux, a neuroscientist at New York University made it a little easier to understand how animals express their thoughts. If they are happy (dogs wag tail, cats purr etc), in short he tells us that understanding or recognizing their emotions is easier. 

(Ref:-http://www.livescience.com/18750-animal-human-emotions-fears.html)

 John B Watson in his book “Studying the Minds of Animals” has explained in similar form that animals thoughts are understood by their expressions just the way Humans thoughts are understood…No one can enter another living beings mind to find out what’s in it.

(Ref: - http://psychclassics.yorku.ca/Watson/Animals/index.htm)

Well let’s get back to our topic now… After reading all the above facts it’s certain that we Human beings can’t find out what is happening in the minds of animals. But let’s not drop our bags yet…we’ll try something different… a different approach perhaps.

Present = Gift

We all know Human beings are complicated and animals are simple… So if we apply assumption as a tool for our research then we can assume that animals think only about today (present), now…and nothing else..Not about tomorrow, not about yesterday but only today…

Well I got to this assumption based on some stories I had heard, like: A sheep, before getting killed by a butcher, always enjoys its final meal without thinking of what’s going to happen… (You may disagree stating that it doesn’t know it’s being killed, but they do sense danger).

Throw the stick please....

A dog loves to play fetch, gets the ball back to u, and finds happiness in the tiniest things…

Hence we can conclude our second question by stating that whatever runs in their minds they express it; they never hide it or try to process it. They live their life for the present.

Now moving on to the 3^rd & 4^th question, both of them are quite similar; how can animals not get tensed in life, stay completely relaxed? Not caring if tomorrow is going to be tough or anything.

Well it’s like a one word answer to this – It’s only because they make life SIMPLE… When life is simple then there is no tension, no worries and nothing.

Power of 99

My friend once told me a story; he called it “The 99 story”:

The story has 2 families, one a rich merchant’s family and another poor woodcutter’s family; The Merchant’s family always used to be tensed and work extra hard….once the wife of the merchant asked him, “why is it that we are always tensed, when we have more money than the woodcutter, Whereas he lives in peace with much little money?”

For this, the merchant replied, “that’s because he hasn’t fallen into the 99-trap”… Confused wife asks about 99-trap… The merchant goes in front of the woodcutters house and drops a pouch with 99rs in it, and returns home..

Next day, woodcutter’s wife finds the ‘money filled pouch’ and shows it to her husband. After a while they both decide to convert it into 100rs, once that was done then 200rs…….slowly into 500rs and so on... Hence changed their life into a tension filled one.

We all get to learn something out of the story..Animals think about today, now, this moment and act accordingly…. This makes them less selfish, caring for others, caring for our Mother Nature.

Whereas if we try to evaluate our behavior, we think a lot about future ruin it for next generation, get everything for ourselves etc etc

Well Partially answered our question din it.. Let’s finish our questions list… 2 more questions…What do they do? Simple very simple…they just live (enjoy every moment, every tiny part of life)..

Just relaaaxxx dude....

How can they just live? Well I guess that’s what differentiates them from us human beings.. We sometimes think even if we have to enjoy (what will others think, what about my status quo etc n all)

Hmmmm… I feel we have answered all our questions.. What dyu think will be the major difference if we compare us to animals… the real facts (not the ones we have made to show ourselves superior)

Evolution....

Sl.No	Human	Animal
1	We Communicate	So do they ( I don’t think there would be any miscommunication)
2	We rationalize (that’s how we are actually destroying this wonderful world)	They just live their gifted life
3	High Competition with each other	All live in Harmony (very few with low competition)
4	We Discovered and invented Selfishness	They are almost selfless
5	We Complicate Life	They don’t know the word complication
6	We work on breaking the mystery	They Enjoy the Mystery Suspense given by the holy one
7	Live one, Beat all	Live one, Live all

So here are few questions I would love to ask you..

• ·         Is Rationalizing good?
• ·         Are we really better than Animals?
• ·         Are we really Smart people? (animals are the first to know when an earthquake or tsunami occurs, they know when they have to move to summer side etc)

Think on these questions, until we meet again J

Thanks for reading…………..

Trip to Himachal (took us for a ride)

Hi everyone….

Hope you’re good…

Well, I have shifted to New Delhi and hence decided to explore it.

This blog is about the crazy trip I had (Kalka, Kasauli & Shimla) on this weekend!! J

Well.. I’m slowly getting adapted to the climate here… Travelling is an energy booster and I always have the need to recharge myself. And thus evolved the idea of a trip.

Delhi is hottttt, people do say this is nothing compared to march (gets me the chills I tell ya).. So I decided to search for a cooler place to go.. after a little research here and there, I found that Kalka-Kasauli trek is about 15kms and is supposed to be a wonderful trek. So I looked for the train availability and made a rough plan about budget, (told my roommate cum colleague, he joined along).

Trip was planned for a Friday night travel to Kalka. We boarded a bus from Munirka (place where I stay) to New Delhi Railway Station; we were already running late, the scheduled time of the rain was 21:25. So we hurried and somehow reached the station by 20:30. We went inside and saw that  there was a long queue, got the tickets to Kalka, and we relaxed.. (little did we know about what was ahead!).

We started searching the platform where Kalka train was supposed to be boarded from, we asked people in uniforms and laymen, but no one (NO ONE!!) had heard of a place called Kalka. We were in a dilemma, because the ticket was to Kalka and no one knew the place! It was 21:00 and the train was in 25 minutes and we were running around asking for directions,! Luckily there was a good Samaritan who told us that the train is from old Delhi station, once we got that news, we both ran like crazy towards the metro station. I had low balance in my metro card (11rs) and there was no time to wait in line for the token in any counter, so I took my chances and swiped it anyway and boarded the metro.

It took 8 minutes to reach Chandni Chowk, and we ran again (the time then was 21:10), we didn’t even stop to take a breath(metaphorically of-course! We breathed heavy alright!! :D ), we were sweating and gasping, but neither of us wanted to miss the train (Metro charged only 7rs getting my balance to 4rs,  lucky huhJ). 

Train Delhi - Kalka

Finally we entered the station at 21:20, with only 5 minutes left and we had to still find out the platform! So we spoke to few people got to know that its platform 5 and ran (remembered the movie Bhagam bhagJ). We reached and saw that general compartment was packed… it was 7 hours journey and we didn't want to stand in that compartment, so we boarded the sleeper and got 2 seats, so occupied those and slept as though we owned them J…

Kalka - First Destination...

Now that we got the time… my roommate (Mayank) told me “Next time thoda planning karke ayenge”…I smiled (laughing in my head.. thinking ‘when do things happen according to our plan anyway! :D’ )… the train started its journey at 21:30 and we were all set. After an hour or so the TT came to check tickets.. I smiled at him and handed him our general tickets… he looked at my face and informed that we need to pay 200rs for seats, we bargained and got them finally. After that I slept like a baby, the next morning around 4:45 we reached our destination.

It was early and around 5:30 when we started walking, we asked a few for the route to Kalka by walk and they looked at us as if we were out of our minds! Coz it was more than 30kms. They suggested that it would be better for us to take the bus. We anyway got the route and started walking, the view was good.

Snake route

It was a long walk after which we found people and they showed us the way. After walking more than 7 kms we realized that it’s just the road route and that there’s no path through the thick forest…even if there were any people, they did not know about it. So our trip got boring.. (boring coz I love walking through the forest!), the view was amazing and the feel was great, but.. it was still a road trek.

Bus - Shortened the trip ;-)

Mayank and myself discussed and decided to cut short the trek as the “Thrill” factor was missing, we boarded a bus to Kasauli. After  40 minutes we reached Kasauli and the climate was AM AAA Zing.. loved it... drank tea and had a light breakfast and then..off we went to see “Manki point” (its Mann Ki in hindi, lord Hanuman’s foot print can be seen there).

Church of England

People told its 4 kms to Manki point… but as we walked, the view was soo beautiful that we didn’t know when we covered 4 kms. We reached the place and it was within Air-force vicinity so no photos could be taken. Sad part was that only one was allowed at a time, as there was no locker for mobile phone (which was strictly not allowed btw).. So I let Mayank go ahead and waited outside the gate..all alone.. looking at the beauty of creation and day dreaming… after 30 minutes or so he returned and it was my turn to go…(lot of formalities ID proof etc) it was quite a walk, I met few army folks on the way, spoke to them, got to know the history of the place saw the temple on top. The view from there was mind blowing (one could see entire Chandigarh from there).. stayed there and spoke to few people and returned back to Mayank and we continued our journey back.

Nature en-route to Mann-ki point

We reached the bus stop, saw the Church of England which was built in 1884. We had to plan ahead as there was an entire evening to be spent. So as we sat in the bus stand, we decided to go to a new place. Boarded the bus to Dharampuri (40 mins) and then from there.. to our new destination - Shimla (2hrs).

We reached Shimla around 15:00 and din know any places so we went to the old bus stand and started walking to find some place to eat (till then we were living on minimal food).we found a Chinese restaurant (simply Chinese ka board, actually hard core desi), had 2-3 Paratha’s and with the help of android application started exploring Shimla.

Church in Shimla

We went to the mall road and saw lot of pretty girls J then visited the Church. After which we saw a temple (Hanuman ka) there was an open challenge

    "below 30 years if they reach the temple in 30 minutes they’re absolutely fit, in 45 minutes then only fit etc".

So we took up the challenge and started walking faster, after some distance the climb got steeper. We took some rest and asked few people about the distance and they told we had walked only 5% of the climb L.. We were looking at each other when we saw an old man carrying a wooden bed to the temple.. that boosted our energy and we started running.

en-route to hanuman temple

We met a lot of monkeys made few pit stops to get nice pictures and kept moving, finally reached and saw the time, we had reached in exactly 24 minutes (yes a record J). We were happy, Mayank visited the temple when I waited outside listening to the tales of mischievous monkeys.

Once he returned from the temple we started our journey back to the Shimla bus stand (had decided to try the bus). Boarded the bus to Shimla bus stand and from there bought the tickets to Delhi (bought deluxe tickets; nothing deluxe about it baaad experience; push-back seats doesn’t work, charging point doesn’t work & there’s a TV only for showcasing)..

Somehow managed the journey partial sleeping, partial fighting for a better (comfortable) position to sleep. Once we reached Delhi we had smiles back on our faces….

Well I hope you guys enjoyed reading this blog...Thanks all…have fun J

Kodachadri...an eye opener...

 “Too often. . .I would hear men boast of the miles covered that day, rarely of what they had seen.”

Journey to Kodachadri

 The Month was July and the date was 23^rd (of 2010) I was pursuing my MBA, stepping into 3^rd semester… college had not yet begun and I was bored…by bored I mean BORED…

So I decided to go for a trip… went to the internet searched for some places where I can go… and found Kodachadri as a nice place..so asked couple of friends whether they were interested to go…but they were in their own world and din want to go… so I decided to go alone..

I packed few stuff and started the journey… went to Mangalore bus stop at 6:30 in the morning…reached there at 8. There was a bus to Shimoga at 8:30 so went and booked the ticket immediately…

Bought something to eat and boarded the bus.. was listening to music and munching on few food items… the bus left at 8:30 AM… the journey was good went through agumbe was lost in the hills and the beauty.. (Sometimes I wonder why we don appreciate god for his creation and all we wanna do is work)

It was a good journey to Shimoga… after 5 hours I reached(am writing this after 2 years so kindly bear with me if the details are not precise)..

When I reached Shimoga the time was 1:30 PM the first thing I did after I got down from the bus was, asking the conductor about Kodachadri and how to commute till there..

The conductor took time and explained that there are 2 ways one is wait for a bus which drops u to the trek point (it’ll come at 2:30 pm) and second one is hire a jeep which will drop you to the trek spot.(problem is the jeep charges 800 rs). So I found the bus idea better, so waited for the bus and boarded once it came..

Got down at the point and saw that there was no one but me there…and started walking into the Jungle there were Jeep tracks, so thought that if I had hired the Jeep would’ve lost the fun…

King of the Jungle :-)

When I was walking I saw an Oriental giant squirrel (golden brown tail) could not take a pic as it was a glimpse and I din find it again although I searched for a while…

As I walked further I had a strange feeling me alone in the jungle no one to talk to and stuff..

Well after a while I heard a bunch of monkeys fighting at a close distance… for a moment I got scared as I’d heard there are flesh eating baboons in the jungle… so I walked silently without making noise… and nothing happened :-)

I walked a lot…. Saw couple of jeeps en-route.. but felt I did a better job walking…bcoz in the jeep it wouldn be fun per se..

Finally after a long time I reached the trek start point.. there was a tiffin spot.. I went and asked him the distance I’d walked.. the shopkeeper informed that the distance from the bus stop to the guesthouse on the peak was 11 kms and from his shop to the guesthouse was 6 kms… So I’d walked almost 5 kms…Phew… but it was fun I tell ya..

Well after drinking water and filling up my bottle began walking…it was a decent trek…moderate u might say.. was a little moist so the leeches were ready to attack :-) After the tiffin spot I found many people returning from the trek as it was almost 4 PM… most of them were from Kerala (they spoke Malayalam) most of the time I din understand so simply nodded along and smiled :-) (believe me it works).

Lonely Tree!!!

Well I was walking continuously as I had to reach before the light disappears.. I found a tree a lonely tree…The resemblance was uncanny :-) I saw myself when I saw the tree..

Well I walked ahead and saw a cute girl walking towards me with a surprised look on her face… She came upto me and started speaking aggressive Malayalam…did not understand much but buy her expression and worried look guessed that she was worried as to when I’ll trek and return as it was almost 5PM and soon it’ll get dark… so I replied “ Malayalam ariyile” listening to that she burst out with laughter… I din get it…(but later when I returned from the trip and asked a friend she told me that I asked her if you don’t know Malayalam…I got the joke then, asking a mallu if u don’t know Malayalam!!! lol)

Well after an amazing laugh she bid farewell and left… I started walking faster as the time was almost eating up...

After a long journey I finally reached the peak.. it was amazing.. I saw a temple and asked shelter there but they were scared to let a person alone, as there were cases of suicides.. so I had to stay in the guesthouse… when I reached there I felt that i can finally rest and continue tomorrow peacefully…little did I know whats coming ahead…

Guest house (pic clicked in the morning)

I booked the guest house and the caretaker gave me a mat and a blanket… he took me to show the guesthouse…and there it was..wow.. I’ve never seen anything like that..old worn out house… real scary…

Well it was dark soon…and I went to chat with the caretaker as I was bored… the caretaker was already asleep…I looked at the time it was 7:30 PM….i was like people do sleep very early :-)

Well I was bored dunno what to do so sat out in the cold chilly weather.. looking at the sky… talking to the sky..asking  few questions running in my mind.. When you are bored I guess even time gets bored so it moves very slow..

the room and a mat...

I had a tough time passing  time.. so I went and lied down thinking I’ll fall asleep… but it took a long time before I fell asleep.. but soon I slept like a baby..

Itsy Bitsy Spider... got into my pants

In my sleep I felt a hand feeling my thighs… I suddenly remembered that am all alone and who’d it be… I opened my eyes and saw there was no one but I still felt something moving.. I jumped up and started dancing ( believe me I put in lot of amazing break dance moves), and when I did that.. something fell and ran towards the wall I took my mobile and captured an image…it was a spider…huge spider in my pants…damn.. I was still under shock so couldn sleep..

It was 01:30 Am and not feeling sleepy.. so I went out..it was cold… so came back and rolled myself in the blanket.. I just sat on the mat and without knowing what to do started exercising :-) ya I do that wen I get bored :-)

So I did my regular Push-ups and sit ups etc and sat quite again…saw the time.. it was 2:30…well this is when things got freaky…

I suddenly heard the creaking sound of the door… the door when closing and opening makes a weird creaking noise I heard that… I got goosebumps… I was like where was the sound till now? Was I fast asleep when there was that noise? I had absolutely no idea.. I did what others would feel best “IGNORE”

After a while around 3 AM I heard anklet sounds….i frankly don’t know whether it was my imagination or actual sound.. I din have the courage to go out and check.. I told myself I’ll check it in the morning…

Low visibility

I couldn't sleep..the sound of the wind was adding to my miseries… well I just sat and starred at the door..without knowing what to do… I sat like that for almost 1 and a half hours and fell asleep…. Got up at 6:30AM  and rushed outside to check which door made the sound…found out that there was a door with the creaky sound.. din worry much packed and got set to travel back…

I saw that the mist was covering the mountain.. the visibility was bad… so waited till the mist reduced… found a person who was also planning on trekking down…

Finally a leech got what it wanted...

He knew only Malayalam so couldn't communicate well…although he got annoying when he started wasting my time by chatting with each and every passer-by…dam I felt like pushing him…don’t worry din do it :-)

So we reach very late and finally meet the shopkeeper.. I eat puttu (kerala dish) and leave that friend I came with and start walking… when I reached the bus stop where I got down and began this wonderful journey.. I found out that buses are not frequent…. So started walking…. It mentioned 11 kms to Kollur the place I had to board bus to mangalore..

The lift in a lorry :-)

I walked for almost an hour and then saw a lorry requested for a lift… He was happy to drop me… I reached Kollur in no time and boarded Mangalore bus…

Met a friend: Name-"Slow Joe"

The journey was awesome when I think about that night I still get goosebumps…

Thanks for your precious time…..

Frustration in a Bottle

"If there is something you must do and you cannot do it, you cannot do anything else."

Bottling up Frustrations

Hi guys am back..

How have you been?

Well today I wanna write about taking out frustration or not bottling up feelings..

Yes I know what you’re thinking… even though u don’t do it subconsciously we do it…and acknowledging that you are getting frustrated is better than just hiding it and showing a smiling face..

How many of us talk good in front and curse them inside? Can’t say no to extra work and listen to the scoldings? Well guys all symptoms of inviting frustration into our lives..

According to Wikipedia – “In psychology, frustration is a common emotional response to opposition. Related to anger and disappointment, it arises from the perceived resistance to the fulfillment of individual will.”

“The greater the obstruction, and the greater the will, the more the frustration is likely to be.”

Ask for it...and you shall always get it!!!

But it’s not common emotional response…some people tend to hide it thinking it helps when suppressing them... In reality I don’t know what happens…

I’m a kind of person who belongs to the category of suppressing… I’m not ashamed to tell my problems… I just don’t know how to throw out frustration…

When suppressing, frustrations keep adding up and when it reaches the bottle neck it adds faster and tries to explode...

So how do we react to frustrations you may ask….

Google provides a few methods like punching, writing, creating art etc (reference - http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifestyle/six-great-ways-to-vent-your-frustrations.html)

Well I did try most of it, but all helps only for the moment… I guess yoga and meditation must help in the long run but who has the patience….

Life is a maze as we try to explore it... I guess god just wanted us to enjoy life and not dig the secrets of it… bcoz it takes us round and round confusing us to the core..

Hmmm...

Frustration can convert into anger and if it does, the outcome is bad…. I know that..

Well sometimes things like – people who are very close to you get pissed at you and not tell the reason as to why they are actually pissed  - gets you confused and frustrated at the same time.. I dunno how to read minds they must have mistaken me for some mind reader..

I’m really tired of bottling everything up…..from now on I promise to let it go….just live life the way god wanted us to….do what I love or that which makes me happy… I’ll take it up as August month resolution :-)

Easy to understand too :-)

Guys who don’t know that they are bottling up feeling learn it quick and let it go…

After all life is very short they say – why spend it on things like frustration, hatred, anger etc etc….

So if anyone irritates tell them that they’re irritating.. You feel like punching.. Go ahead... (But don’t bully or hurt anyone purposely) don hide anything… all the best to you and to me as well :-)

So lets remove our frustrations from the bottle and use the bottles for what they were made for...Drinks!!!

Thank you for your time…. Stay connected :-)

Life..An Experiment

Life is simple...

 “Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.” 

       “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.” 

I always had one question in my life – How to live a life?

Valid question don’t you think? Even though the question looks simple, the answer is tricky.

We always say “one life live it”, live the way you want to. But we’re still caught due to peer pressure, parent’s happiness, fear etc.

Reasons reasons reasons…. If we take a piece of paper and start writing all the reasons we have in mind, I don’t know how many papers one would require. Our life is built on reasons.

Is life a cycle? Maybe…

We all know what life is and how we have to survive... But the question is – Are we really living our lives or just existing? Some may not even know the difference.

So what do you think are the barriers for living a life?

• Parents dreams, their happiness
• Peer pressure / Friend circle
• Desire / Greed
• Social Status

If we place these in a graph, it’ll be:

Let’s check the barriers one by one:

Parent’s dreams, their happiness: It doesn’t sound as a barrier, but it’s an innocent hit. I’m just saying that they don’t do it intentionally. They want us to survive the world, because they know that the world is cruel. They want us to excel in everything. In this process they don’t concentrate on what we love and want to do. They just ask us to do what is needed to survive in this world (existing not living). They don’t want us to do the mistake they’d done, but what they don’t understand is that "only by falling once will a person learn to get up, by making mistakes we learn."

Peer pressure / Friend circle: If you share an idea to the team or the group they might criticize it, not because they want to, but only because they don’t want you to fall into trouble. Everyone wants you to stay in FIT Well (Frog in the well) for the frog its well is its world. Not all friends are like that, some know your potential and jump in to help you instantly (that’s why the graph shows less percentage).

Desire / Greed:  We definitely know this is bad, but can we control it? That’s the question to be answered. Many of us don’t even realize that we’ve entered the wrath of greed. Greed is bad, we all know that. It’s similar to the saying - “smoking is injurious to health” but still people love it, don’t they? We don’t know when our desires will convert to Greed stage. We only feel that it can be controlled by us, but we’re only over-confident regarding it.

Social Status: Finally the stage which is as dangerous as all the others, the Social Status. It sounds innocent and elegant. But it’s the gangrene which helps us only in one thing – decomposing. Well we people are funny, first in order to make our life easy we work hard and create new systems and technologies. Once its done in order to keep up with the growing technologies we again study the things built for our comfort and lazy living. We all are the same, everyone wants an easy life but in the process get things complicated.

In order to maintain the status people don’t try new things or things which they feel are below their status.

Now that’s about the barriers that help us "Exist" in this world. But our question still goes unanswered… Does "Existing" win the battle between Living vs. existing? We all hope for an happy ending, even I love them, but lets be practical, only when the time is past we feel what was done was of no use or din make much sense, we always have the habit of regretting.

All I’m saying is that life is very unpredictable; we never know what’s its purpose, what’s the reason for our existence. We feel what we do is right and hold on to it as if it’s a priced possession, we even advice others to follow us, but in the end we “always” feel we’ve wasted our time. Time is indeed precious but to do what? Saying is always easy but figuring it out is the tough part.

Is business main part of our life? Are we here to prove our worth? Dint god make us all to be equal? Y then do we compete? Y then do we prove who’s better? Y then for our selfish reasons destroys our wonderful Nature? To be honest no one knows, but we all are a bunch of selfish, confused and complicated beings in this world.

Confused...Don't be...Just love everyone...smile @ everyone you meet :-)

Listen to your heart...coz that's what'll make you happy:-)
