my thoughts

In April, Mumbai is hot and humid, May was just about to begin in sometime. When there is 20% power cut directed by Mumbai Electricity Board, our organization immediately issued certain direction to minimize the utilization of electricity. Among the many such directives, one such order to save power was minimization of the Air Condition. "Can you imagine its so hot and the AC will not be working at the optimum level. How can you expect an employee to work in this condition." "How can they expect us to be productive enough in this heat?" That was the general talk in the canteen. Most of us were unhappy with the directives issued. We could only crib, cribbing was a second nature to us. I admit, I too crib for sometime, as mentioned earlier, cribbing is second nature to us. On one of the Saturdays, on my usual visit to a temple in Malad, I boarded a bus and carefully select a window seat which didn't face the sunlight. While the traffic was slow moving, I saw an o

If ever, I meet you, We will walk down the memory lanes talk about 'those days' and life after 'those days' Aren't we living in "present"?

"Its all for the best" thats how I remember the first chapter of the English subject of the third standard. Now, I don't want to prove that I have a good memory, but this article relates to what most of us feel... that whatever happens its always for some good cause. I emphasize on the word "always" . I know that some of you will disagree with me, but read on, I am sure you will agree. So its story time...... Long long ago (Now thats how am I taught to get good marks in essay writing).This is a story of a king and his prime minister. The prime minister had a habit of saying 'its all for the best'. Even in the smallest event he would say the same thing. Once, the King had a cut on his little finger and the blood was following. As usual the prime minister said 'its always all for the best'. 'How can you say its best for me when my finger is bleeding?' with anger said the King. 'Sorry my majesty, but I believe that something good must be

ever seen the video of the song... " yeh tera ghar yeh mera ghar. ." from the film saath saath.. I love the simplicity of the song, and the director has managed to show reality... Each one of us dreams of having own house, maybe a bungalow. Like me, I always wish to have a big bungalow with a big garden. But in a city like mumbai, where accommodation are not easily available and affordable, places are compressed and each and every nook of the house is utilized, having a big bungalow with a garden will fit the pockets of billionares. While each of us dream big ( and its always recommended ), lets make our 'present' in a 'big way'... Simply put: There are no harm in dreaming big, but pursue it as well. Improve your present conditions, make it more worth living, live each moment of it with happiness. Taking "home" was just an example, broader your imagination... you will find many things need your attention Happy finding your goal

Practice this: In every class, look for positive people to associate with. In every lecture, look for one more interesting idea. In every chapter, find one more concept important to you. With every friend, explain a new idea you've just learned. With every teacher, ask a question. With yourself, keep a list of your goals, positive thoughts and actions. Remember, you are what you think, you feel what you want. You discover more, you are more wise.. You are heading for positive thinking... Happy Journey Buddy

Sometimes taking the ‘first step’ becomes so difficult. There is war of thoughts on pros and cons of any event. I wonder, why do we resist so much for the “change”? I went ahead for a “change”… … It started with a feeling to help someone to make living better and went to a stage where I wish I could help atleast one child to have a good education and a better life. These thoughts were housed for quite sometime, deep within my heart, and some or the other factors delayed it further, ( maybe, I was scared to admit my feeling and go ahead with it ). There was a constant brawl deciding on ‘the first step’ and the skirmish still continues. As always, I discussed this with my husband. I thought, he will consider me an absurd ( that’s too much of negative thinking I know ). He was very calm when I told about my thoughts. In a composed tone, he said that he agrees with me ( I am shocked ) and he showed me the way. Next day, I took my first step. A basic decision on the amount I was willing t

It was a difficult Monday. I was sad, alone, by myself, missing my husband, who left for Kuwait two days ago. His absence made me feel sad; although I knew I will join him soon, but didn’t know when… I left for office, thinking that it will change my mood. I just forget, in the entire hush-hush episode of my husband’s departure, I had committed to visit Children Society for the Education of Deaf (CSED) http://www.csedmumbai.org/ with Komal and Gopal. The visit to CSED was something that we were looking forward for quite sometime. My colleague, Komal, had participated in Standard Chartered Marathon and she was raising funds for CSED, in which her grandfather was a trustee. We helped her to get as much as collection possible as an equivalent contribution would be given by ICICI as she was participating in the corporate category. Komal had talked so much about Mary aunty who looks after this school at Agripada Mumbai that we were looking forward for a visit. Many thoughts came in my mi
