  Why follow or believe in anything blindly; even our own thoughts? Acceptance of things makes big difference in life... unfortunately we hardly accept anything and try to change almost everything... How the world would have been if humans will be differentiated based on behavior than gender differences... Accepting and living with self is an art. The one who masters it first can stay/live peacefully with anybody on this earth... In our comfort zone, our mind focuses on useless things around us. When we struggle in any situation, we get solutions to problems i.e ideas generated, the mind becomes more creative, and despite the struggle, a peaceful mind state is there. To whom do we call 'PHILOSOPHER' and why?  other terms(doctor, engineer, lawyer, teacher) are easy to understand. Intentions matter, yes but do we see only ours? What about the other person’s intention and hence action(any - good or bad)? Or only see actions and judge? A too genuine person looks fake. There i...

Quotes motivate us, give clarity to our thought or make us think. There are many quotes I like and those keep changing with time. In this post, I am sharing only those which greatly impact me. And it will remain always! All-time favorite: Above quotes, I re-read from my college days. I wrote down both from Speakingtree — a weekly newspaper by the Times Of India. I have spent a few months understanding the meaning of and working on myself with the above quote. This quote was my laptop’s lock screen and desktop wallpaper. And recently added:  My mobile cover has this quote. Whenever I touch my mobile (not intentionally 🙄), the meaning of this quote strikes my mind (in my mother tongue — Marathi) and it gives peace to me. 😃 Share your quotes in the comment that helped you to improve/change your life.

The most common advice is "Have Patience!" or "Be Patient!" But do we know what it means and how to apply it?   Patience   - one type of action that has many sub-actions. When is it needed? The outcome of our actions (work/behavior) deviates from our expected result that leads to developing negativity/depression   Sub-actions involve: 1. Keeping mouth shut for things those are against/giving negativity to you   2. Focusing on the work at hand   3. Avoiding incidents/persons/places that give negativity   4. Repeatedly talk to yourself about what you are and your value, and deepen them   5. Convey the same to the right people in all possible ways   6. Try to be in stable condition – mentally   Consider the above points as an outline for the meaning of "Have Patience!" or "Be Patient". This explanation is in generalized form. So, it may or may not be 100% applicable to every single incident happening in our life.   Open to discussing/readin...

To go or not to go, was the question with the #TestAway announcement by The Test Tribe during the #TestFlix2022. In discussion with past attendees, I decided to GO for #TestAway #GOA 🌊🌴 Reaching There: Reaching Goa at 6:00 am on Thursday morning, I headed directly towards the beach to fulfill my quench to see the sunrise. Reaching the beach, I realized that the sun rose to see the sea through coconut trees ☹️. But I managed to click sea-sand-sun-trees in one frame 😃. After exploring the beach, I reached the venue. I was the first to reach the venue among all attendees, for our next three days' stay. About 4 Days: 1) Through the interesting fun game, we got to know each other's names. Then everyone shared their story and experience excluding the social media information. We all participated in two different discussions: a. Roundtable(a new concept for me) with the topic 'Are we earning enough?' b. Brainstorming on how can we contribute to our potential to the orga...

Excerpts from the book Then Almitra, speak to us of LOVE: Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For Love is sufficient unto love. Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding or love, And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at the dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving; To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy; To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips. Then Almitra, speak to us of MARRIAGE: Love one another, but make not a bond of Love: Let it rather be moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one ...
