Wherein all the projections of this dream life is converging on me???
Am I dreaming for myself or am I in some one else's dream???
Might be thinking this person has gone mad?? But then that thought is yours, not mine....
It's My World in Here... My Views, My Opinions, My Friends, My Life... In Short Everything That Matters To Me And My Life And My Thoughts Will Be Right Here, Right On This Page...
When we walk the walk of life,It's not that hard to know
That each life has a share of happiness and sorrows to share
And for that in each life you come across some one called a Friend...
Asked myself why I let them wander so close?
When there wasn't any scope or chances...
For whatever they do or have done to hurt me,
I wonder why I don't have any complaints...
Last week was quite fascinating and wonderful.Had a glimpse of school life.Not mine of course.Had to give our software training in a school. Was quite amusing to watch those kids play and have fun. The things we miss the most I suppose.The training was for CBSE teachers. So once again in their life they had to go thru the classroom learning process. More than anything it was the experience that they shared with us mattered. It was so wonderful to hear their accounts of their experiences with the new generation and how they have to be on their toes to get in touch with the latest developments.
They were happy to be at the driving seat of the class when the session of doubt clearance started. They had thousands of doubts and I wondered as it wud be just the subset of the doubts they would be facing when they start teaching how to use CAD to children.But it was quite knowledgeable as we cud look forward to the area of improvements and modifications to suit the students need.
When the students turned teachers shared their experiences we couldn't get ourselves out of the nostalgia about how we used to be back in school days. They were worried in certain cases and happy for certain ones related to the new generations studying techniques. They were concerned about the competition for scoring higher marks as they know the maximum a student wud get wud be 100, but is that enough. Is it really what a child need, just a near to three figure mark in every subject. How much do they keep the lessons learned. For example: A teacher teaching 12 th standard said, the students are taught all the laws of physics, abt momentum and it's causes. With higher velocity the momentum increases and it takes more time n more distance to stop a vehicle. Do kids learn this lesson(Why only kids , do the grown ups??). I think the answer is plain no, coz then there wud be no rash driving accidents. So its just not enough to put things in the paper but also students need to mark up in their minds too.
Like this a lot of real life examples were given. But then why are they the only people concerned about these. Doesn't the parents have greater role to play. All they ever do is to encourage to score more marks n unknowingly the same kids would end up with lesser marks when it comes to the attitude towards real life.
It was quite an revealing experience for me to get along with the teachers who continues to teach us in one way or the another all along their life. God bless them.
Eyes glued to the bars of the window pane,
I amassed the strength to switch the pen back on.
As if I got something to scribble but then again..
I ran out of words to title the beginning,
Dunno how many times I repeated the act,
Switching on and off out of sheer frustration.
The blank paper on my letter pad,
Still untouched and still so blank with whiteness.
Nothing comes to my head,
As I tried to think of things to write.
Right through the dark night,
I Juggled with phrases 'can I' or 'can't I'??
Would this be the beginning of the end?
Even if it is, what would it end? I dunno!!!
I've come to a point where my feelings,
No longer just jump off my thoughts
and get themselves inscribed on the paper.
I stared down again,
And pushed my hand again,
Still, nothing but dead silence.
I placed the pen down on the paper.
Didn't even bothered to shut the pen off .
I'll let it dry and leave the paper blank.
I think it's better that way..
Dis time of de year when all those new year forwards fill up ur inbox with all kind of wishes, I tried to be little more sensitive and creative... Collecting some thoughts which we already have read or heard som1 saying but cease to remember in dis busy life....It wasn't so tough to gather it(Some from thoughts, some from experience, some from my dear frnds, last but not least by googling.... ) but it was certainly a bit difficult to arrange it but wasn't impossible... I wanted to end dis new year on a satisfaction that I have done something that's quite thoughtful rather than just forwarding some wish mail.... hope dis lengthy collection is worth it's length... And I really hope this to be an unique wish u receive this year...

I went through a brilliant article that gives a vast idea of differences between Hinduism being a Religion and it being a Culture. I felt everyone should read this.As said by Sadhguru...
The Hindu Way Of Life: Science Of Salvation
Sadhguru
There really is no such thing as Hindu-ism. This term and concept are of recent coinage.
The Hindu civilisation was born on the banks of the river Sindhu, known as the Indus today. When the Persians came, they introduced the term ‘Hindu’, derived from the Sanskrit word Sindhu, to denote the people who live beyond the river Sindhu. It was a geographical and cultural identity. It had never been a religious identity. Basically, the culture was oriented towards realizing one’s full potential.
Hindu was never an ‘ism’, and the attempt to organize it as a religion cannot succeed because the Hindu way of life, Sanatana Dharma or universal law, is inclusive by nature. It is not an organized belief system; it is a science of salvation.
In the past, religion was far more important to people than it is now, but still there were no theocratic states in this culture; the ruler had his religion and the subjects had the freedom to follow theirs. There was no conflict.
There is no belief system to the Hindu way of life. You can believe in God or not. Individuals can work out their own way to salvation. If there are five people in your family, each one can worship a god of their choice, or not worship and still be a good Hindu. The Hindu culture is rooted in the spiritual ethos of each individual working towards ultimate liberation as the fundamental goal in life.
In the East, spirituality and religion were never an organized process. Organization was only to the extent of making spirituality available to everybody – not for conquest. A farmer worshiped his plough, a fisherman worshiped his boat; people worshiped whatever aspect of life they related to most, and that was perfectly fine. Essentially, in the East, religion is about you, it is not about God. Religion is about your liberation. God is just one more stepping stone that you can use or skip towards your ultimate liberation.
The essential purpose of the God-belief is to create reverence in a person. What you worship is not important. It is not about liking something or disliking it. The object of reverence is irrelevant. If you make reverence the quality of your life, then you become far more receptive to life. Life will happen to you in bigger ways.
Hindu culture recognizes human welfare and freedom as being of paramount importance as against the prominence of God. People understood that God is of our making and not the other way around. Hence the whole god-making technology evolved into the science of consecrating various types of forms, energy forms and spaces.
Hindu gods and goddesses are numerous, from the subtlest to the weirdest. Everything has been explored. The best compliment for this culture came from Mark Twain who had heard so much about Indian mysticism that he decided to travel to India and spend some time here. He said: “Anything that can ever be done either by man or by God has been done in this land.” If you explore mysticism in India, it is incredible because it does not come from an organized belief system. It happens as a scientific means to explore dimensions beyond the physical.
