Assumptions and wrong impacts

Duryodhana was fuming that he was receiving reports from Rishis that Pandavas are worthy prince, the hospitality was outstanding. Unable to digest this Duryodhana performs Abhichara Homam, a yagna conducted to remove oppositions or enemies. He approached various Sages and finally Kalamamuni agreed to perform after a long press by Duryodhana and Sakuni.
During the yagna a huge monster appeared and asked the directions and the latitude and longitudes and what was it supposed to do. But the monster had given a warning in case of unsuccessful mission it will kill Kalamamuni. The task was to kill all 5 of them.
Scene shifts to Forest. A kid claimed that his Yagna laddle was stolen by a deer. Pandavas agree to help the kid, chasing the deer, both the deer and kid disappeared. Due to a heavy chase all were damn thirsty. So all decide to quench their thirst. An audible voice had warned not to drink, here is where I felt the ignoring assumptions. All assumed that nothing would happen and drank the water and died.
Seeing this Dharma swooned down as all four had fell down.
Now the monster arrived and the location matched and identities also matched unfortunately the monster also assumed that all 5 were dead, but the fact was Dharma was alive
This is second assumption.
The lesson is that invest a bit little extra time before jumping to conclusions.

Ajamila and Cricket

 One Nama of Narayan without any doubt would definitely please Lord Vishnu.

Eg:- Ajamila.

That doesn't mean that one can remain a loafer and say Narayana in dead bed no way. 

In case of Ajamila he was a Brahmin and followed rituals and practices deligently

Like any other people he also slipped away from his Dharma and when he went to dead bed. He called the full name of his youngest son "Narayana" that call is enough for Vishnu Dhoothas  to get initiated

More likely in today's world a Howzzat appeal is considered as a blanket appeal for everything. Similarly no matter how you called the name ensure you call the one name properly that will please Lord Vishnu that's enough.

Ajamila in modern day Cricket wow Flexed biceps.

Live the moment

This day that age Mar 11th 2018, Singapore to Casablanca, all set for my travel. Excited because client had booked the flight in Airfrance through Paris Business Class. The flying machine was designed as its 380. Booked the cab took it from my place left for Airport. Came as a shocker that I cannot transit through Paris since I didn't have Schengen Visa. My conference was scheduled on Mar 14th.
Last moment I had called up my manager he had asked me to check for alternates for travel
Turkish Airlines Business class at 13000$ only business class seats
Qatar Airways Business class 12000$  where luckily they had Economy at 4000$.
Corporate credit card booked it because I had to spend my hotel expenses in Morocco.
Then took the early morning flight the thing is that I was all along worried about missing the business class in Airfrance, but couldnt enjoy the flight Singapore to Doha and Doha to Morocco.
See thats the catch of something isn't happening don't fail to enjoy the current moment because you may never know when will it be recreated or not.
Now that it's been 2yrs not in travel however I couldn't enjoy that night. Beautiful place Morocco but being an introvert couldn't explore despite being close to Mediterranean sea.
Miss you Morocco

Oscillating animal called mind

Human mindset is always a different kind of animal.
The mind is always an enemy when you have a inclination or a desire to get something.
For instance I had an early morning flight to Dubai.
The flight was scheduled at 4.45am, I was about to attend an important training session was all set made my presentations and everything was intact.
Hence had booked a Cab, and it was scheduled to arrive by 2am. About 1.45am I received a call Cabbie that the Cab got canceled and had to book another cab. Another neighbor who just got up was asking me if he could help me. I said no thanks I am gonna book a Cab, the neighbor casually told me pay the Can charge to me as he is also doing a Grab car service person. I felt like fair enough and hopped into the car.
Heavy rain started lashing and the visibility was almost very difficult. He stopped the car midway and  told me the car stopped due to some problem.
I was cursing the Cab guy now it turns out to be my neighbor cursing him in my mind. Luckily he was able to get a cab for me, all set at the airport. Bang on time was able to reach the airport.
I was wishing good luck to my cab driver and neighbors.
Now my Aisle seat Business Class  always amazing, now I was enjoying my flight.
The flight pilot made an announcement that due to some technical engine fault we are having some technical term about landing gear or something. Now my mind voice bloody Can driver why did he drop me on time , thankfully God was stopping me for this travel.
After a few mins the Pilot announced now its all good. Now my mind voice changed.
Thank God it's all Good.
Only the circumstances assumes whether what's allotted to us is good or bad.
Think everything awarded to us as Good you will see peace in your mind.

Say thanks to God that I am not in the attractive zone
1.Good looks
2.Lot of Bank balance
3.Intelligence based on Book reading like IIT IIM or some book wise reading
You don't have the above don't complain that you are alone you had picked up that zone. 

The person who enjoys the happiness without having them will be much better compared to those who have had and lost them all.
Let me tell you a story..
Oh you telling me story to me itself.
Comeon buddy every now and then there must be someone talking to you.
OK this is me 2 me

Well I am. Publishing it so if others wanna listen can listen else skip me I scribble like hell.
Here goes
A beggar was seriously seemed to be happy but a guy inside a porscr AUDI car was seriously disturbed
People asked beggar how can u be so happy I have nothing to lose

Hence I am happy, apparently people went to the person sitting in AUDI Car, sit u seemed to be worried. That guy cried like hell because stock markets crashed and he had lost lot of money. Now that's the catch the pain of losing something you had possessed will be greater

Than the ones those that had made you happy.
Now my mind voice turning to me back, now pls enjoy your space don't crib and be happy.

See if I am  cribbing that none of the girls got attracted it's not that you are not capable, but the thing is that you didn't position yourself. 

Like from the childhood days you have been brought up that way of not developing or a case of not showing off. Also accept that I used to be an introvert but by the time it went out I was too old, see me as a human everyone has their own expectations and satisfying things which I am totally deprived off. Maximum 20mins for that why am I getting so much into it? 

Good the quantity of salt is also small but that's the one that enhances the food similarly as a human being its just longed for 20mins however have never approached anyone beyond their eyes. Yes I make jokes but only in a lighter way not to hurt anyone 

What to do just believe that this too shall pass.
God damn too much philosophy.

All is well

Saint Narada was on rounds and saw a Sheppard sleeping and his Goats were grazing.
Narad got bit upset seeing this sight and called hey buddy how can you sleep while at work. Hmm many people sleeping during work why can't I sleep, the boy replied. Narad got bit angry and said do you know who I am.
The boy asked what do you want now?.
The Sage angrily said what would happen to his goats if it's under attack.
The boy asked him to keep quiet and observe carefully. Sage said I am hearing the bells. The boy said yes that's my indication.
Sage confused how can you sleep when this sound is coming. The boy quietly responded I am able to sleep because I can hear this sound.
This time Sage broke down, please explain me,
Boy said if I hear the sound in same rhythmic frequency then it has two meanings one they are safe and it has not gone out of boundary.
In case the bells sound increases its means they are under attack hence I can save them.
Now the take from this incident is that
If you realize and be hopeful that your future will be good you can enjoy your present state.
Hence be positive and hope that future will always be peaceful and happy.

Lesson from forest for Diplomacy

Whenever we have a dialogue with Superiors it's totally necessary for us to maintain some amount of diplomatic approach.
The more you are close the Seniors might feel that you are trying to butter them up, however the peers will believe that you were able to go up the ladder only through buttering up. On the other hand the Seniors might also feel bit insecured in  case you are shrewd that their job might be taken.
A short story
In a forest the animals were having a meeting or discussion, we all know the King of the jungle is Lion and in the course of discussion Lion yawned, Elephant will saying what a bad smell.
Lion got bit offended and went to ask opinion enquired with elephant "is it from me". Elephant said point blant your mouth stinks. Lion got annoyed and removed his ministry.
Still Lion couldn't bear this insult, Sloth Bear was just witnessing that Lion had removed the ministry of Elephant and it was eyeing that post.
Lion called Sloth bear, Sloth bear was thinking it was going to confer him the ministry, first question was is my mouth stinking too much? Sloth bear in order to butter him, no way your highness your mouth is so refreshing smell, like cardamom, clove all good smells. Lion sensed the foul play and was shrewd to think how can it be? I am eating lot of meat and flesh how could it be? Are you trying to please me to get ministry position. Get out Lion yelled.
Lion called the Fox, hey foxy is my mouth smelly. The presence of mind of Fox is amazing, your highness I am having a blocked nose for the past 1week hence I cannot say it.
This is where shrewdness and diplomacy is at its best, in case you are stuck in between better to maintain a diplomatic approach.
However Call a spade a Spade in case you are able to fight strong.
Have nice day.

Lucky VS Unlucky

Why Some People Have All the Luck
By Professor Richard Wiseman, University of Hertfordshire

 

Why do some people get all the luck while others never get the breaks they deserve?

A psychologist says he has discovered the answer.

Ten years ago, I set out to examine luck. I wanted to know why some people are always in the right place at the right time, while others consistently experience ill fortune. I placed advertisements in national newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky to contact me.

Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my research and over the years, I have interviewed them, monitored their lives and had them take part in experiments.

The results reveal that although these people have almost no insight into the causes of their luck, their thoughts and behaviour are responsible for much of their good and bad fortune. Take the case of seemingly chance opportunities. Lucky people consistently encounter such opportunities, whereas unlucky people do not.

I carried out a simple experiment to discover whether this was due to differences in their ability to spot such opportunities. I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, and asked them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside. I had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper saying: "Tell the experimenter you have seen this and win $50."

This message took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches high. It was staring everyone straight in the face, but the unlucky people tended to miss it and the lucky people tended to spot it.

Unlucky people are generally more tense than lucky people, and this anxiety disrupts their ability to notice the unexpected.
As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else. They go to parties' intent on finding their perfect partner and so miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through newspapers determined to find certain types of job advertisements and miss other types of jobs.

Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for. My research eventually revealed that lucky people generate good fortune via four principles. They are skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition, create self-fulfilling prophesies via positive expectations, and adopt a resilient attitude that transforms bad luck into good.

Towards the end of the work, I wondered whether these principles could be used to create good luck. I asked a group of volunteers to spend a month carrying out exercises designed to help them think and behave like a lucky person.

Dramatic results! These exercises helped them spot chance opportunities, listen to their intuition, expect to be lucky, and be more resilient to bad luck. One month later, the volunteers returned and described what had happened. The results were dramatic: 80% of people were now happier, more satisfied with their lives and, perhaps most important of all, luckier.
The lucky people had become even luckier and the unlucky had become lucky.

Finally, I had found the elusive "luck factor".

Here are Professor Wiseman's four top tips for becoming lucky:

 1) Listen to your gut instincts - they are normally right
2) Be open to new experiences and breaking your normal routine
3) Spend a few moments each day remembering things that went well
4) Visualize yourself being lucky before an important meeting or telephone call.

Have a Lucky day and work for it.

The happiest people in the world are not those who have no problems, but those who learn to live with things that are less than perfect.
