• Came to office...system took some 20 mins to boot..thanks to our technology..i quickly glanced through the paper and read about World bank thinking to review the ban on Satyam...i thought "policies are made for deviations".
• Checked the mails...there again some desperate souls trying to reach me over emails for quick resolutions, i understood that people are lazy enough to type and send in required formats ( Only they know as to why they are being paid).........
• Suddenly felt that something is wrong..it is time to grab a quick meal...it is already 1.00pm thanks to our work culture, we are allowed to eat at our workstations ( infact our lunchroom can accomodate not more than 4 people)
• I got motivated to see that only few hours are left to leave...:-))
• I overheard a small serious conversation more intense than Obama's speech....a lady was explaining on how she managed to come to work inspite of attending a late night party..what was she wearing..where she bought etc etc..i Sighed! It makes all kinds of people to make this world a better place.
• I laughed thoroughly....infact i enjoyed the conversation too with my kinda humour.
• Lot of unattended things..i thought why the hell am i doing so much of work ?? but then ended up doing it and this frustation made me type aggresive mails on escalations....I patted myself!
• At 4.00 not felt like working...wanted to go home n watch some black n white movie...
• GIA is one word which i thought will never forget. Lot of work has to be redone in the last min though you are updated and online. Dont even try n understand GIA..you will have sleepless nights!!!!
• 6.20pm...Aroma of hot Samosa...........ofcourse i relished!

Iwould like to share general gyan sessions...coz this is my space where i can vent out...and clear the gutter in my life.

See through conversations!

One misnute wisdom is one of the books that i always loved to read again and again. Everytime i read i get a new meaning. This book is filled with one page conversations, go through a few and i am sure most of you all will see through them.

1."The trouble with the world," said the Master with a sigh, "is that human beings refuse to grow up." "When can a person be said to have grown up?" asked a disciple. "On the day he does not need to be lied to about anything."

2.To the woman who complained that riches hadn't made her happy the Master said, "You speak as if luxury and comfort were ingredients of happiness; whereas all you need to be really happy, my dear, is something to be enthusiastic about."

3.The disciples were involved in a heated discussion on the cause of human suffering.
Some said it came from selfishness. Others, from delusion. Yet others, from the inability to distinguish the real from the unreal.
When the Master was consulted, he said, "All suffering comes from a person's inability to sit still and be alone."

4.A newly married couple said, "What shall we do to make our love endure?"
Said the Master, "Love other things together."

5.It always pleased the Master to hear people recognize their ignorance.
"Wisdom tends to grow in proportion to one's awareness of one's ignorance," he claimed.
When asked for an explanation, he said, "When you come to see you are not as wise today as you thought you were yesterday, you are wiser today."

6.The Master was always teaching that guilt is an evil emotion to be avoided like the very devil -- all guilt.
"But are we not to hate our sins?" a disciple said one day.
"When you are guilty, it is not your sins you hate but yourself."

7.The Master always frowned on anything that seemed sensational. "The divine," he claimed, "is only found in the ordinary."
To a disciple who was attempting forms of asceticism that bordered on the bizarre the Master was heard to say, "Holiness is a mysterious thing: The greater it is, the less it is noticed."

8."What would spirituality give me?" said an alcoholic to the Master.
"Nonalcoholic intoxication," was the answer.

9. To a woman who complained about her destiny the Master said, "It is you who make your destiny."
"But surely I am not responsible for being born a woman?"
"Being born a woman isn't destiny.That is fate. Destiny is how you accept your womanhood and what you make of it."

10."How shall I rid myself of fear?"
"How can you rid yourself of what you cling to?"
"You mean I actually cling to my fears? I cannot agree to that."
"Consider what your fear protects you from and you will agree! And you will see your folly."

Anthony de Mello, SJ, One Minute Wisdom

Yeah! these are really fantastic!

Passwords and Cosmos!

Hmmm am back...not getting enough time to be with myself :-(

Disclaimer: Read at your own risk and any kind of damage to the reader is not blogger's responsibility.

I was thinking the other day, the technology invented by Man” banking passwords”. To deposit, to draw your own money etc you need passwords. Combinations of few numbers, alpha numeric characters will determine if u can withdraw, transfer your OWN money. Just imagine to draw your own money you need to memorise your passwords!!!

When a human is born, he is entitled to lot of his things in this world. His own oxygen, light, how much he consumes energy from sun, his food etc.
Now my point is when I referred to the word cosmos, there are lot of energies around, some people call it as powers, unusual powers, magic etc in the space around.
To withdraw all that the way modern man used numbers and alphabets to create passwords, ancient man did lot of research on each type of energy (referred as gods too), used alphabets etc to invent Mantrams which act like passwords.

Everyone has their own energy stored in the cosmos like a bank account. Mantrams act like a password and helps us to withdraw the energy from it.
You may ask then why so many gods/mantrams? I think it is just that we have different customised policies, types of bank accounts offered by various financial institutions and we choose the one which is suits our needs, similarly we have different forms of energies around Since people believe in tangible products to get the touch n feel factor, the energy around us also take forms of various gods and display their energies in the form of their qualities, stories etc.

So, a man can decide his requirement and can get his password to withdraw his required qualities. The more u memorise n recite, u will withdraw more energies faster from cosmos. If you stop then even that will stop. If you do it continuously then one day u might become that energy and automatically you will get the powers.( wow! i hope it is true!)
For ex: if you observe in a Ganesha temple the priest automatically gets the quality of that deity by reciting his passwords continuosly.

I am not trying to preach any religion etc but these are my thoughts about the word called mantram.

I guess this is too much to swallow, so just relax and do not regret why you read all this. You always have a shift delete button in your brain so please feel free to use it ;-)
