Positive Thinking in Practise

When words are sweet, there is a positive impact. Staying constantly cheerful isn't be an issue if only we know how to do it. Sweet words are like flowers, when given to others brings happiness and spread love.  On the other hand, harsh words are like stones that hurt.  Harsh words emerge when there is some weakness working within us. Harsh words means that in some way I am feeling helpless and am resorting to something which is not so constructive.








So what do? 

Try not saying anything that is not sweet. If a situation does arise where you feel compelled to say something not so good and nice, move away from there. Till you're not sure that you'll not speak nasty words, do not  come back to that situation. What works at this time is to try and resolve that point in mind so that you don't speak words that leave a negative impact and make you feel bad later.


It helps, just try!

Making Relationships Not Last Forever

It’s easy. Just follow these steps and you’ll have a broken relationship in just few days/weeks/months/years – depending upon your will.

Be Unreal

Why stay genuine when being bogus can help? Call it being yourself. That are only few other things that can help you getting out of a relationship so easily. Ignore that unique voice you live under, forget your true values and that ultimate “fake” to the real world.

Forget that Smile

Folks, after observing people for so long, I have come to this conclusion that this really helps. Isn’t it obvious? Life is all about executing simple ideas and if that relationship is hurting you for long, give us your smile and see the difference.

Never Look People In The Eye

When we all have our laptops, smart phones and iPods, why to give importance to other people? To communicate, we do have a mouth, don’t we? So, what’s the need to look people in eye when you talk?

Don’t remember the name?

What’s the harm if you call Mrs. Sharma as Mrs. Verma? They’ll eventually know when you are talking about them or to them. Who cares if for a person, his r her name is the sweetest sound to their ears.

Dishonesty “Always” Pays

Again, simple, I know. But dishonesty really does come down to the daily doing of a series of fundamentals well. Be the most dishonest person you know and see the magic flowing!

So there you are.  Five fundamental yet powerful ways to break those relationships and leave a negative impact of your communication, forever. All you need to do is “Focus”

Waking Up the Inner Child

When I was a child

I listened to my mother

She taught me how to walk and talk

Above all, how to create a good thought.

I believed in nature

Made it my best friend

I played with my dog

Which I thought to be godsend

Now that I am grown

The innocence has flown

The mind has developed

It’s easy to make it corrupt

From pure to defensive

It forgets to be festive

I was taught the dream of compassion

Somehow it became weaken

Not anymore, I tell myself

I am going to lead by example

The world is hard and cold

But then I have good friends to hold

It’s time to wake up the purity inside

That’ll help me when things go wild

This moment I am not going to subside

‘Coz now I know, I am God’s most beautiful child

This just came to my mind this morning. If a writing professional is what you seek, please visit Writing Routes. Chao. Nitima

My New Year Resolutions for 2012

It is time to stop making plans. Let’s get into action now. Let’s make time for time.

Last week of December is like any other holiday season. There’s less inflow of work. The clients seem to be too busy with their own vacation arrangements to send any work to me. So I have enough time to reflect on my plans and start doing the things I’ve procrastinated since long. Here is my five-chartered. Feel free to create yours

1. I’ll buy “that” book on advertising. I’ll invest in Ogilvy’s treasured writings.
2. I’ll visit two new places this holiday season. Since I am in Mumbai, Pune and Masjes Ghat are the ones on agenda.
3. I’ll create a new web page on translation services.
4. Will sleep for two days at a stretch – last few months have been crazy with construction and work.
5. And lastly, I’ll not feel bad for anything. Things happen, they will happen. I will not waste any moment frowning upon what, why, who and where. I’ll stay happy.

The Golden Trick of Staying Constantly Cheerful

Smile at whatever happens.  Even if something has gone wrong, find something to learn from it or something positive and be happy for it.  Even if you can't find it right away, at least take the thought that this has happened for a reason. Start believing whatever happens, happens for the best.

When people see someone with positive qualities, even during negative situations, they really admire their positivity.  It could be patience, wisdom or any other positive quality that comes across.But much more than that, it is the happiness or contentment that is visible in the form of a cheerful face. This is the true personality of royalty, that each one of us too needs to make an attempt to imbibe.


Life is short. People are dying. There's too much unhappiness around. Why waste time in sulking when you can make it BETTER? Stay cheerful. There's no other way of living. 

Celebrating the Spirit of Diwali, even after it...!

Let the spirit of love

gently fill our hearts & homes.

In this loveliest of seasons

May your heart gets filled of all the hopes.

Let's observe "Thamasomaa jyotirgamaya" this Diwali (even after it...!) and make these post Diwali days special. Literal meaning of this Sanskrit phase is "lead me from darkness to light". So where there is darkness light Is needed? What is this darkness? 

Sorrow 

 No Peace  

 Loss  

 Disappointment  

 Misery 

 Lack of enthusiasm  

 Anger 

 Lust Greed 

   Hatred   

   Jealousy   

Become your judge and find out which ones of these painful elements "YOU" possess. You know how to get rid of them? Do it by using meditation. Trust me - it's just the matter of  belief that "I can do it". Rest - as they say - will become history. 
Lets not wait anymore to burn our inner darkness with the Light of Diwali

                

Wishing You All  A  Very Happy n Prosperous Diwali and a 
very Happy, Bright and Stressfree and Self-Controlled New Year

        

  

Would you do good to someone you don't like?

Managing self is overrated. Knowing what you are going to do and how to do it — approach — is everything. But many mull over too much doing and do not spend enough time on thinking. That’s what I am doing right now.

I know what is right; just don’t have the courage to do it. May be writing it aloud will help me staying on the morally correct path. The only challenge is to stop the excessive thinking and focus on the big picture. Though managing self-attention is not as simple as blocking out time and turning off your devices, but mind can be shifted. I can do it.

My Anna's Leadership Values

Anna Hazare and the Indian Government

 The vision of "Let’s change India" by Anna Hazare are not three words anymore. It represents the power of people, the intoxication of patriotism and the future after tomorrow. There is much more to learn from Anna’s actions. The second Gandhi, who lived on nothing more than water for a week, delivered a performance that shook everyone from the Prime minister’s office to farmers of the tribal village of Orissa from where someone in our family is from.

His stint at Ramlila Maidan attracted record-breaking supporters in their quest of forwarding a bill aimed at bringing people who favor dishonesty to books. It provided impetus for passage of greater rights and the dismantling of dubious ways of some people.

There’s so much to learn from this. This is what I am taking, pick your choose:

Indian government as I see it!

• Inclusive change
• Better coalitions
• Beliefs worth the risk
• United we stand
• Live to serve 

Learning Creativity from Madonna

My generation has grown-up watching Madonna. The Madonna. Her face reminds me that nearly every great creative mankind has ever known was/is a perfectionist. Yes, I agree perfectionism is not considered a healthy attribute in the world ‘coz it drives people crazy, but what is the fun of living a life that’s not near to it?

If you ever read the superstars of creativity and imagination, you’ll find that none of them stood for anything less than ideal work. Watch Madonna’s documentary “I’m Going to Tell You a Secret.” It will inspire you. At every point, Madonna sweats and demands that every moment of her performance is perfect. Really makes me think - why work on something if it wouldn’t get close to as perfect as possible?

Coping with Uncertain Times

When I quit my regular job seven years back, there was no economic crisis in sight – well, at least not in India. Life was good and since I was relatively younger, never even once I had to repent my decision.  

Though the carefree attitude has not changed over these years, I have started the experiments to keep myself more secure financially. The world all over, there are simply too many varieties of crisis looming. The sheer populace on the planet practically guarantees new challenges. A common reaction by most people has been to ignore the tough times we live in today as these can be depressing to contemplate.

Social graces, light humor, and genuine curiosity always play a big part in reducing people's discomfort with difficult subjects. A lot of them like to invest in bullion and gold bullion to make sure that in case of eventualities – they’ll be ready to fight them over. Once people buy bullion and buy gold bullion, a sense of relief comes over them. Buying gold must always be done through authorized gold IRA dealers as this market sometimes navigates through rough waters and to tell the differentiation from the original and duplicate becomes an issue.

Practical meditation in Action

Being a spiritual seeker is a blissful experience. It lets you stay energetic the whole day and no matter what you do, the liveliness doesn’t drain out from your nervous system.

Everyone faces deadlocks, crisis - whether they last a day or a number of years, it is in your hands to decide what you take from the experience. Rather than shedding our fears, we get engrossed in our tough times and let our weakness of not being able to see beyond the clouds dominate our thoughts. 

Were we given life to live in despair? If no is your answer, so where are your adjustments to it? Help yourself. Here are some tips for practical meditation. Use them and see the difference.

1. Take one minute break every hour and observe your thoughts. Do a SOS – Stand, Observe and Steer for them. It will help you in managing your inner resources better and become a better manager of the self. Steering them in the right direction helps because our thoughts are very accustomed to wander off on different tracks.
2. Write what you want to do in a day and then divert your attention from it. Don’t go on repeating it in your mind unnecessary.
3. Sit with yourself for five minutes every day. Minus mobile, newspaper, television or any other diversion from this meeting. Decide on the purpose for that day.
4. Use practical meditation to help you in prioritizing your work. Have the courage to say “No Thanks” to any activity that doesn’t add value to your living.
5. Whatever you want to do, DO. Don’t PROCRASTINATE.
6. Turn away from technology for few minutes every day. Take up a creative project and work on it. (paint pots, sow plants, create envelops, clean your stuff, make your laptop shine, arrange your shoes, give out clothes, ride a cycle, talk to trees, watch the sky, help your neighbor, read a book, make bookmarks, repair a clock…do you need more ideas?)

This is my list. You want to add something – be my guest. But my request is – Check & Change. 

The Time is Now.

The Royal Wedding Mania

Royal Wedding

On the day of this gala event, how could I sleep without putting my thoughts into words? Dunno for others but I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life. Although they say a man in love is incomplete until he has married...then he's finished, I still think there's lot to be said about this delicate subject. 

Wedding

My idea of a royal marriage is of a book of which the first chapter is written in poetry and the remaining chapters written in prose. Looks like Kate and Will have come up with a perfect understanding. He won't try to run her life, and he won't try to run his, either because an amiable arrangement has already been agreed on whereby she'll be allowed to have her own way, every time and what we'll see is a happy royal marriage.

Earthquake in Japan, the Nuclear Crisis & Me

Earthquake in Japa

Last one month has been phenomenal – there have been quakes, fights, eruption of anger, and the mother of all crises – nuclear catastrophe. Surrounding all this are we – The People.  What is my part in saving Japan and the rest of the world from something that big?

Situations like these bring the best out of people. Oneness, ingenuity springs up when the times are tough, making the power of community remarkable. Bravo to those courageous folks who have contributed in easing the pain of suffering. 

Nuclear Reactor, Russia

What am I doing? That’s a question I have asked myself time and again? I want to do my bit too and that I do by sitting in peace few minutes every one hour and sending the vibrations of pure love, good wishes and positivity. There’s a lot needs to be done and I haven’t become strong enough to remain glued to one thought for more than few minutes but the process of learning is on.

Is Facebook Worth $67.5 Billion?

Some say Facebook is worth much more than $67 billion. Facebook is no longer just a social networking site; it is steadily becoming a better way to search the internet. Last night, I was desperately trying to find a phone number for an art gallery. I checked Google, Yahoo, Ask, Bing, Delhi Buzz and couple of other websites but nowhere I could find the right info. Also, the art gallery's own website was down. Finding myself out of options, I tried out Facebook. The art gallery did have its own Facebook page, and not only they had listed the correct phone number, but it also had the information I was looking for. I did not even have to call the gallery. Basically, the old www. internet is broken and outdated. There was a gigantic need for a more organized/easy way to access the right information on the internet and Facebook was the answer.
