Life is a beautiful journey! If I may, I can tag it to the paradox of train journey. We board the medium from different stations we stand at be the station of age, new beginning, new role or many such times in each ones life. When we are train as the path may be chalked, it takes us from bridges to tunnels. Bridges in our life are the connecting chances we grab to go ahead and tunnels are those dark times we want to overcome of. In life sometimes we deviate from the chalked path like trains halts at red signal, what if train breaks the signal? We all know what blunders it may cause. Similarly few deviation in the chalked path are good sometimes. It is very well said many times when we see it as end, the divine is just trying to bend. I will like to tag our journey of life in 4 phases. In Hindu dharma also it is segregated in 4 stages; Brahmacharya (a student), Grihastha (a homemaker), Vanaprastha (a retired) and Sannyasa (a renunciate), but mine are more to do with our behaviour and...

Often it so happens that our internal critic is so strong that it over powers our thoughts. Sometimes these thoughts have the capacity to overcome and many times we surrender to the internal critic. What one should do to ensure that this internal critic is positive and you achieve what is desired as part of this huff. Your critical side can be a great help as far your personal development is considered, when you take those thoughts in positive light. It at same time takes a mental toll to analyse which side of you is better for yourself. As it is a argument / discuss with you vs you. 1. Focus on the key point of the matter : When there is a internal huff, that is generally for a matter that bothers us be it as tiny as a pin or as big as life itself. But, you need to identify that key to the lock in which you have some dissatisfaction with self. The reason of this dissatisfaction. On identifying the reason of dissatisfaction you will be easily able cure your pain. 2. Not necessary ...

One of the high level objectives we have in our live today is to give time to all the things that we want to do. How well we justify each responsibility defines us in each role we play. How significant is to manage your time so that you can justify all the roles? And what if some responsibilities are more demanding, how will you manage them yet justifying others? Work-life balance is a term which is so much in fashion that every other person even if related or not want to talk about it. As managing your work and life in the given 24 hours is tricky thing for sure. But, why has it become so tricky? That is because we have become more ambitious and have higher aspirations in life with the same quantity of time. In many articles, seminars and lectures I have known that successful people manage their time in a way that they are able to justify everything. But, are they really able to justify or they are just giving time as that is the need. Or they are saying it as they are the role m...

Today as per Hindu Calendar, its a tithi of GURU PURNIMA. An auspicious day marked especially to thank your GURU in whichever form of expression you like to. Some pray, fast, go to temple, meditate and many expression they find best to express their gratitude. I remember in my childhood days, I use to feel that a human treated as a god is incorrect. If human start to posses the power of god then, what I can do to be one. It is only with knowledge and education I learned, people worship them as GURU and not god. There is a fine line in worshiping one as GURU and source of energy as GOD. Which calls for many questions like; who is guru, how is guru so significant in our lives, why to have a guru, where can i find guru, how will I know if one I consider as guru is apt for my set of thoughts, what if I don't want a guru and many such inquisitive questions. To get answers to all the above, you will need to experience the GURU. And to do that how will you identify your GURU? ...

Fundamental No. 1 was about accepting as things comes to you, be it a personal relation or professional. With time each day is bringing good and bad news. It is to you, if you pick bad ones to influence or good to influence. And what influences you depends on your present and past. What a person is depends on how they have lived, what kind of people they spend their life with and many unsaid factors. Before you pass a judgement think of all these factors. In recent times there are so many suicides registered, be it a successful international brand owner or a student who was not able to crack board exams. All this need not be ignored neither to be taken too seriously. Human mind is a complex set of tangle, the more we try to fix it, more we get lost in it. What we need to do then? Just go with the flow? All such tricky answers are very much with you. Probably taught to all of us in our school days, either through the medium of religion or stories or lessons. Learn to forgiv...

Travelling gets me numerous thoughts that are unanswered. One such thought comes to me when travelling and observing new land. The unknown people, their thoughts, their subjects over which they will be indulging. Waiting at traffic signal you see people coming and stoping by you, occupied in their thoughts. Have we thought what thoughts they will be dwelling on. May be the answer also is what thoughts I dwell when I am driving or waiting at signal. This thought brings me options, what a normal human thinks all the time. I refer to normal human as Yogi's manage their thoughts. So the pandora of options open with subjects like; happiness, worries, struggles, memories, dreams, goals, achievements, failures, problems and much more of these kinds. But all the options are either about self or experiences, be it with unknowns. Experts say around 50,000-70,000 thoughts a human gets through the day. There once was a training I was attending and were the trainer asked us to keep our o...

How often then not, we reach a point where any relationship is vulnerable to break down. Everyone has their way to deal with that point, some over come and some go down. Is their no single fundamental to deal with any kind of relationship? The answer is YES we do have, but not one. Let me begin with 1st. The answer to that fundamental lies within ourself. How is it that we most of the time feel we are right and go to any extent defending ourself. Why do we put up so well with ourself? The only reason is we come to terms with ourself better than anyone. This is the fundamental you should apply to all relationships. 'Come to Terms'. Be it your boss or your spouse, when you accept them with the kind or type they're the journey is better. Most relationship issues happen when your expectations are not met. The divine says do not expect, but I say learn to accept. Today, most of the Gurus want us to be self aware. What is self awareness? It means different in different...
