My "Valentine"

Valentine is all about love. It can be your love for your parents, a love for your children, a love for your life partners, a love for your friends and it goes on…like that. In all these relations there is always a hate that pops up now and then. At times the patching up becomes a trip to no where. I would therefore prefer “myself” to be my 'valentine'.

I feel I need to learn to love myself, before I get into proving my love for others. To make this happen, I will need to first to get rid off my cribbing “mind” and perhaps a crippling "body". Let me therefore invest this day in bringing into shape my ‘mind’ and my ‘body’. When I train my mind to become “fearless”, my heart will grow ‘strong’ and will never 'chicken out' from the challenges of living. When I work my body to shape, I will remain energized and would have gained confidence in running, jumping and leaping as I play a “centre forward” dribbling my way to post my “goals” in life. When I reach here, I will not sit back and bask on my “wisdom”, instead I will take my stride to better my “best”.Perhaps it will be some where then when I will be able to stand up to raise a toast for my "family"...My “Valentine”...
now and for ever...

CLARITY IN CHAOS

  The Bhagavad Gita is a living scripture  universally relevant  today as it was 5000 years ago in the battlefield of Kurukshetra. It is a divine conversation that took place in the battlefield of Kurukshetra  between two best  friends, Lord Krishna the Charioteer and Arjuna the warrior.  'Bhagavad Gita' is an integral part of of Indian mythology  I have always believed mythology is not for everyone including me.  So when my friend, the author of the book  "Understanding Bhagavad Gita", gave me a  copy to review , I was not very comfortable.  I like  'Arjuna'  started looking for excuses . However one day not very soon , "The Recipe For A Better Life " the part of the title  hooked me into reading it The author has covered the essence of 'Gita' inside the  160 pages, through   eighteen Chapters.  Every chapter has an "Introduction", a "Summary" and a "Reflection" The simplicity of his writing gives...

MY MODISTORY

  I am one among 900  million plus    "nuts and bolts" of our  Democracy , who   become "faceless" faces in the crowd after  every 5 years.  Year 2014 election was in every sense historic It was beyond doubt a landslide victory for BJP and the beginning of  the so called "MODI" Raj  In year 2014 my reason and my josh for  casting my vote for  BJP was "Modi". His speeches were "sparkling confidence" that set ablaze the confidence of  the nation that was trying to rise up from the cesspool of corruption   Looking back now after 11 years I realise that year 2014 was also  the beginning of era called   "Political Branding" that would  covert  a "politician" into a larger than life  "Mega Leader" Perhaps that is the reason that today in politics "anti-incumbency" does not matter at all . Here are  in brief  a Common man's  bunch of thoughts on "Modi Story". These ...
