Attend talks and conferences of Inspirational speakers

                     First of all,Who are inspirational Speakers???Inspirational Speakers are those speakers who inspire people by speaking,sharing different lessons and mistakes.And mainly they implement those lessons and learning's from their mistakes in their Life as well.There are many people who just speak and not implement what they speak in their life.Hence people dont like to listen to such people.

                   I have a rule for my life that is :ONE LIFE LIVE IT.There is just one life,why waste it in doing unnecessary things.Irrespective of whether you are a student,teacher,worker etc,attend talks and conferences of inspirational speakers to make your life more better.Just by attending your life wont change,but will make you atleast change your mindset in many different things and help you improve in it.

                    There are some questions as:How will only speaking change lives??The answer is Teachers.You learn a lot of things during your school life and college life,about different subjects,isn't that only through speaking.The teachers also just spoke and you understood right,As simple as that.

      And there is another question:is it necessary to attend such talks again and again.The answer is why do you drink water again and again,its because you will become thirsty.In the same way,the thirst for motivation will be there after few days and you need to again drink inspiration and break the thirst.

Always preparing a to-do list is very useful

                   To-do list is a list which summarizes all the important things that have to be done by you or in short,its a list of pending works.Maintaining it always is very useful.Not that to-do list is meant for those who have poor memory and thus cant remember the things to be done.It is for everyone,because even a person with good memory can forget about the things to be done when something unexpected happens.

                 Hence to-do list will be a brilliant way to keep track of the things to be done and things which have already done.Things which have been completed,put a tick in front of it and get going for the next one on the list.In this way you can handle situations very well.I like giving examples and my best friend likes that in me.Example for today's topic is:Imagine a situation where you had to study something and suddenly your father takes you out for some work.There you are not doing anything productive,then take out your to-do list and see,there may be some task in the list which can be done in the place where you are.This will help you remember things better and also helps in saving time.

             "Always maintain a to-do list,Spending three minutes in the morning for preparing the list can literally save three hours in the rest of the day:)"

Facebook

                    Well "Facebook" needs no introduction I guess because everyone right from children to parents and grandparents are very well aware of it and have mastered in it as well.If there is someone who still doent know what is facebook,it is an online social networking service.Facebook has become so popular that it is said to be the third largest populated country in this world.Hats off to Mark Zuckerberg,founder of facebook.

                Facebook is a very good medium for spreading of information,let it be important information,rumours,news etc.It is also an awesome means for friends to have fun,family members to have fun and also to share and remember wonderful moments spent together.

              Facebook is now often used in a unproductive way.People post about every single thing they do and many spend time to like and comment them.I don't mean that they should not post what they do,they should post something that is really good to share and will help someone in some or the other way.People are using it more for purposes that are not that important,which should be changed.

               Thus I request my readers to use facebook for something that will change Lives of many,will inspire them and keep them motivated.

Servicing

                   Servicing means Perform routine maintenance or repair work(on vehicle or machine).Servicing is very much essential as there will be regular check of the things and it also helps us know if the maintenance is getting better day by day from our side or if its deteriorating.And thus we can learn from it and act accordingly.

                The kind of servicing I am familiar with is that of vehicles(mainly bikes).I like servicing of bikes and cars very much,because after servicing,it comes back again as new vehicle and the feel to use it will truly be awesome.I use the bike of my brother for daily usage and it has not seen the face of servicing from past few days.So when time permits I want to leave it for servicing and await for its arrival as a new vehicle and then enjoy it till the next servicing.

              Not only vehicles or machines,MAN who himself is the inventor of machines and vehicles also needs servicing.It doesnt mean servicing in garages or showrooms,but by doing regular checkups for the body.Not necessary that you have to consult a doctor only when you are ill(its like visiting temples only when you have problems).you can and should visit doctor at regular intervals so that you are well aware of the way you are maintaining your body.And from the results of checkups you can maintain your body the same way as before,if results are positive or make it better if the results are negative.

            "Make sure that you take care and are regularly aware of the things,people around you and including you."

High Five

               High five is a celebratory hand gesture that occurs when two people simultaneously raise one hand,about head high,and push,slide or slap the flat of their palm against the flat palm of other person.This is the so called definition of High Five.High five is something which is really amazing.There are different ways of celebrating the success or winning in anything with your teammates,friends,family etc.It may be in the form of High Five,Hug,lifting the other person,dancing etc.

          High Five being one such celebratory hand gesture gives such a wonderful feeling.I seriously love giving High Five to everyone and mainly my loved one.Let it be after taking some awesome decisions,or celebrating a success or when you are low and get out of it because of someone's support,giving a high five will feel very very amazing.

              I had habit of giving High Five from many years and I enjoy it very much.High Five with confidence,strength and happiness will make you more strong and the feeling cant be expressed in words.Just imagine a match in some sport.After some crucial moments and finally you win,giving a High Five will feel superb!!Isnt it true??:):)

              I also give High Five to my parents and my mentors after doing something great.All the readers experience it if you haven't and FEEL IT.

IU e-Magazine

                      Magazines are publications that are printed with ink on paper or distributed online(or other forms of electronic communication),and generally published on a regular schedule and containing a variety of content.There are different types of magazines like art magazines,computer magazines,health and fitness magazines,music magazines etc.But there is one very different kind of magazine which I have come across,it is Inspirational magazine.I don't know any other Inspirational magazine than this one-"IU e-Magazine."

                IU e-Magazine is a wonderful internationally growing e-Magazine(or online magazine).One main advantage of this magazine is its online and hence easy to access.It may be difficult to carry magazines wherever you go but this being an online magazine it can be easily accessed through mobile internet as well.

             There are a lot of e-Magazines across the globe but IU e-Magazine is a completely unique one.It is an inspirational magazine which is mainly published with the intention that who ever goes through this for atleast few minutes will be inspired for sure.There are magazines and newspapers which have so many negative news daily like murder,rape etc.This is magazine which is with a different vision,its tag line is "ALL POSITIVES NO GOSSIPS."It contains only positive news,stories,articles and there are no gossips in it.Its completely true and genuine with only positives and inspiration.It is released on 14th day of every month.I am damn sure that it will become one of the renowned magazine throughout the world very shortly.

         It feels great to be a part of such wonderful magazine.I will definitely work hard toward its progress.

Planning must be followed by execution

                   Planning is the process of thinking and organizing activities to achieve desired goals.Execution means carrying out or putting into effect of a plan,order or course of action.Planning is very much important in each and everything we do.Planning saves time during execution because what is to be done next is always known.

                 Planning is important in different activities like reading,studying,blogging,tweeting,writing,teaching,construction of a building,etc.Planning is done by all but the one who succeeds is who executes the plan."EXECUTION" is even more important than planning.Planning is just an assumption of what has to be done in different cases and execution is making the assumptions or desires come true.

            Just planning and no execution is utter waste of time.If you sit hours together and plan something,but if its not followed by execution,there is no use of the hours spent for planning.Execution makes you feel more confident,teaches you more lessons about the merits and demerits of planning and definitely helps in planning better the next time.For example,if you prepare an awesome plan for your studies,so and so time for so and so subjects and everything.But if you don't execute them,your time is wasted and your confidence is naturally lowered.You would have planned several things but if its not followed by execution,if you look your position it will still be in the starting point itself.

          "Always make sure that planning is followed by execution."

Being sportive always is very important

                   Sportive basically means playful or joyous.Being sportive is really very important.Be playful or joyous and along with that always control your temper and be patient.Its always necessary to be patient because losing patience makes you land up in an unwanted position.For example,When you are hurrying to your college,suddenly the Tyre of your bike gets punctured.At that time instead of losing patience and getting tensed,be sportive think what can be done for safe parking of your bike,then means for you to reach the destination and do it.
                    Being sportive when someone provokes is further more important.And when you are very sportive,naturally no one will try to provoke you because they will know the fact that you wont get provoked.Normally in this world,you will find a lot of people who will definitely try to pull your legs and bring you down.So being sportive,you will never come down and those who pull your legs,will get tired and stop it.
              Sportiveness can be shown in many ways.If someone is really telling you something completely rubbish then just IGNORE.If someone provokes you for something you have done(which you are happy and satisfied with)then first listen to that person and don't get provoked.Then answer to that person with clarity.Even if he again provokes,try to clarify it better and if that person simply continues with no sense,do take charge:)
               In many company interviews,the candidates are checked for patience by delaying the scheduled interview,by asking questions to provoke you.At such times,being sportive and handling a situation plays a very important role.
             "Be Sportive,Be happy,You know what you are:then why think about what others tell"

Dont discontinue good habits

                  Habits(or wonts) are routines of behavior that are repeated regularly and tend to occur subconsciously.There are something called as good habits and bad habits which we have heard,learnt right from our childhood.Good habits are those habits which make you feel happy before doing that,while doing that and even after doing that.Bad habits are the habits or practices that might make you feel happy before and while doing that,but not after that.

                 Good habits need to be continued and bad habits need to be removed when it is at grass level.If bad habits are not removed at grass level,they grow and finally become mighty trees which cannot be removed easily at all.It can be anything,for example,I had bad habit of getting up very late,but I have almost removed it.Likewise,continue your good habits.

                  One of my good habits which is discontinued is of reading books.I was not a reader at all,but after being inspired from my mentors,I had developed a habit of reading books and was really enjoying it.But I slowly started losing interest in doing that and have discontinued that habit.So I will make sure that the habit will be reborn from today.

            "Readers are Leaders and Leaders are readers."I mentioned only a small example,make sure that you wont discontinue your good habits and instead get addicted to them.

Exercise regularly

               Having been used to reading,understanding definitions in school life and even now in graduation,I tend to write the definitions of the topic I choose for the blog."Exercise is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health and wellness."

              Poor people run to earn their daily bread and rich people run to digest their daily bread.In this world one thing is happening continuously that is the rich are getting richer and poor are getting poorer.The reason may be several but this is something which is regularly happening.Well coming to exercise.Exercising is very much necessary for your body.Exercise not only keeps you healthy and but also makes Life more wonderful,interesting and entertaining.Instead if you are lazy without exercise,you will have no interest in life and you tend to become more lazy.

          Exercise regularly and be fit,this will make you the center of attraction and also you will inspire others to become fit and healthy.Exercising for body is very much necessary in life but at the same time exercising for your brain is also very much essential.Keep yourself informed about things happening around you and in the entire world.Know more about the things you are interested in.Exercise your brain to improve your speaking skills as to how to address anyone,to greet anyone,to congratulate anyone and mainly to speak right things at right time.

           "Health is Wealth." If you tell you have no time for exercise because you are very busy in work,you are spoiling your future.Because even if you are earning crores of rupees,if you are not healthy and fit to enjoy the earnings,there is no point in it.But if you make up your mind and spend particular time for exercise and work,you can live an awesome life.

            "Exercise regularly,eat well,sleep well and LIVE your life."

Dont drag your happiness or sadness

                       Life is a wonderful mixture of happiness and sadness.You are the creator of your destiny.If you create it in a good way by doing right things at right time,life will be more of happiness.If you don't,then it will be more of sadness.Moreover sadness is also good as it makes you learn lessons.Learn them and live positively by taking those sadness as lessons and realizing that sadness wont last long if you don't worry about it for long.

                      Let it be happiness or sadness,dont drag it.If you are very happy celebrate and enjoy,but also realize that its not the END of life and start working for the next goal.So dont drag your happiness or in simple words,don't get carried away by the happiness.Enjoy and celebrate and at the same time REALIZE.

                 Similarly do the same for sadness as well.Dont drag your sadness.Its not the END,there will be lots more to come,so think of positive things,remember about positive happy moments in life and get rid of that sadness.Instead if you go deep into it,you will miss a lot in life and it will keep continuing.

                "Let it be happiness or sadness,live that feeling for some time and set off towards your next goal."Those people succeed in life who never feel saturated of their achievements till they leave this planet.

Forget the bad things soon!!

                " Forget the false and remember the truth."Why do you want to keep in mind something that is false,something that is not true.If something is not TRUE or something which has not happened or will not happen,we should just forget it.There is no point thinking or worrying about it.
              By bad things I mean things which make you sad or which has made you sad or has hurted you.That however doesn't last long,so just forget those bad things and live life happily.Why remember or think more of bad things which will in turn make you sad and make you feel low.Instead think of those positive things which made you very happy in life and made you feel that "life is beautiful."
           "Whatever happens,happens for a reason":-):-)
            Jo hota hai ache ke liye hota hai-In hindi it means,whatever happens,happens for good.
           So live life happily.Bad moments are just for while,get rid of it soon by forgetting them.
           "Don't cry when the sun is gone because tears will make you miss the stars"

Patience!!

                    Patience is a very important thing to be cultivated in our daily life.We come across various situation in our life which needs us to be patient.Losing patience will just end up frustrating you and makes you lose the control over the situation.But being patient you can make the situation better even if things go wrong.

               There are many examples which shows the importance of patience.A simple example,imagine you are hurrying for your office and at the same time a small kid in your home spills coffee on your suit.At that time if you lose patience you will end up scolding the kid and embarrassing  the kid and there is no benefit from it,the coffee wont go back into the cup by scolding.Instead if you simply go and change your suit,you will be doing something that is required for the situation.You wont hurt the kid and you will save time.

               The consequences of losing patience or not being patient varies depending on the situation.It can have minor effects which may be changed.It can have major effects which can be changed.But it sometimes can also have severe effects which cannot be changed.An example for the last case is of a student and a teacher.Imagine if the teacher loses patience because the student has not done the assigned work and starts beating him hard,which if uncontrolled may lead to death of the student.Isn't the effect severe and unchangeable.Thus always have patience,losing patience you will just end up spoiling the situation more.

                Today I realized the importance of patience.Just because of me not being patient for few minutes had a bad effect on me and my friend.Thankfully it was not that severe.I learn t from this mistake of mine and have decided to be more patient from now on.

Stay away from negative influences

                   Always stay away from negative people or negative influences because that will definitely lower down your confidence and naturally decreases the efficiency of your performance in anything you do.Staying with negative people will make you think and do more negative.Hence either start staying with positive people or convert the negative people to positive people.There are many examples to show the bad effects of staying with negative people.I would like to give an example by a small story.

    Negative People

           An eagle's egg was placed in the nest of a prairie chicken.The egg hatched and the little eagle grew up thinking it was a prairie chicken.The eagle did what the prairie chickens did.It scratched in the dirt for seeds.It clucked and cackled.It never flew more than a few feet because that is what the prairie chickens did.One day he saw an eagle flying gracefully and majestically in the open sky.He asked the prairie chickens:"What is that beautiful bird?" The chickens replied,"That is an eagle.He is an outstanding bird,but you cannot fly like him because you are just a prairie chicken."So the eagle never gave it a second thought,believing that to be the truth.He lived the life of and died a prairie chicken,depriving himself of his heritage because of his lack of vision.What a waste!He was born to win,but conditioned to lose.

Look for the positives in people

                  Many of us are attuned to finding fault and looking for what is wrong that we often forget to see the positive picture.But it is important to look for the positives always.It is also possible that a positive character of someone is damn good and powerful than his negative character.So look for the positives in everyone.No one is negative or bad in this world,only the situation makes them bad or develop a negative character.I always have an habit of looking for positives in everyone.If I come across someone who is bad in studies and irresponsible in it(its a negative character),I look for the positive character as to in which field the person is responsible,talented and interested and appreciate that.All of us should change Focus,Look for the positive.One who is positive is the only one who can look for the positives in others.

                                               "LOOK FOR THE GOLD"

   Andrew Carnegie came to America from Scotland as a young boy.He started out by doing odd jobs and ended up as one of the largest steel manufacturers in United States.At one time,he had 43 millionaires working for him.A million dollars is a lot of money today,but in the 1920s it was worth much more.

             Someone once asked Mr.Carnegie how he dealt with people.Andrew Carnegie replied,"Dealing with people is a lot like digging for gold:When you go digging for an ounce of gold you have to move tons of dirt.But when you go digging,you don't go looking for the dirt,you go looking for the gold.

             Andrew Carnegie's reply has a very important message.Though sometimes it may not be apparent there is something positive in every person and every situation.We have to dig deep to look for the positive

.

Missing Sunday!!!

              I titled my today's blog as "Missing Sunday" because I wanted to write something related to Sunday and at the same time I recalled a hindi movie that was released few years back called "Sunday."The main theme of the movie is about a Sunday that goes missing.

              I feel great on Sundays because Sundays are Sundays.Today being a Sunday I am feeling great as usual.But there is a reason for my title being "Missing Sunday."The reason is IU1010.IU1010 was an brilliant platform in which only ten selected youth from across Bangalore would be trained by International Inspirational Speaker Sujit Lalwani Sir for leadership qualities..He is also the author of book called "Life Simplified."I feel proud that I was one among the ten selected youth in the first season of IU1010.

              But how is it related to Sunday??.It is related to Sunday as IU1010 sessions were being held on Sundays.There were extra sessions in between the week but every Sundays there were regular sessions.It was such a great feeling during IU1010.The Sundays were awesome during IU1010,I was utilizing the Sundays to the best way possible,which I had not done before.Sundays mainly used to be exciting as the results of the previous week's task would be announced.Then a brilliant session from our mentors which would inspire us a lot.Again excitement,curiosity and nervousness would begin when Sujit Lalwani Sir would take on the stage to  announce the tasks of next week.I am missing those Sundays which was amazing with my other IU1010 superstars and my mentors.There used to be De-briefing sessions as well in which all the IU1010ites  would share about the week's experience."All in all IU1010 is not a conversation to be conversed but it is an experience to be experienced."

          Nevertheless the Sundays after that are also wonderful and it will continue for the rest of my Life.I live Life as if the World ends tomorrow.

Importance of Attitude

               "The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind."This was a great quote quoted by William James of Harvard University.I completely agree with it.Attitude has a major role to play in our Life.Our character,achievements,success etc depends on our attitude.Being positive will always make you succeed in the things you do.You develop a good character by having a positive attitude.

             A small story that resembles the importance of attitude:

        There was a man who made his living selling balloons at a fair.He had balloons of many different colors,including red,yellow,blue and green.Whenever business was slow,he would release a helium filled balloon into the air.When the children saw the balloon go up,they all wanted one.They would come up to him,buy a balloon and his sales would go up.All day,he continued to release a balloon whenever the sales slowed down.One day,the balloon man felt someone tugging at his jacket.He turned around and a little boy asked,"If you release a black balloon,would that also fly?"Moved by the boy's concern,the man replied gently,"Son,it is not the color of the balloon,it is what's inside that makes it go up."

                 Such an amazing learning from this lesson:"What matters is what's inside you"
           I always have a positive attitude in all my approaches.I will definitely continue it and also make others develop positive attitude in their lives.

Acres of Diamonds

                   Stories are something which many of us would be interested to listen from our childhood.Here is an amazing story that I would like to share with you all which will definitely have some lessons to learn  from it.The story is titled "Acres of Diamonds."

                Hafiz was a farmer in Africa who was happy and content.He was happy because he was content.He was content because he was happy.One day a wise man came to him and told him about the glory of diamonds and the power that goes along with him.The wise man said,"If you had a diamond the size of your thumb,you could buy your own city.If you had a diamond the size of your fist,you could probably own your own country."And then the wise man left.That night,Hafiz couldn't sleep.He was unhappy and discontented.He was unhappy because he was discontented and discontented because he was unhappy.

               The next morning Hafiz made arrangements to sell his farm,took care of his family,and went off in search of diamonds.He looked all over Africa and couldn't find any.He looked all through Europe and couldn't find any.By the time he got to spain,he was emotionally,physically,and financially depleted.He was so disheartened that he committed suicide by throwing himself into Barcelona River.

             Back home,the person who had bought his farm was watering the camels at the stream that ran through the property.Across the stream,the rays of morning sun hit a stone and made it sparkle like a rainbow.He thought the stone would look good in his living room.He picked up the stone and put it on his mantle piece.That Afternoon,the wise man came and saw the stone sparkling.He asked,"Is Hafiz back?" The owner said,"No,why do you ask?" The wise man said,"Because that is a diamond.I recognize one when I see one."The man said,"No,that's just a stone I picked up from the stream.Come I'll show you.There are many more."They went and picked some samples and sent them for analysis.Sure enough,the stones were diamonds.They found that the farm was indeed covered with acres of diamonds."

             The main moral of the story is don't be greedy,be happy with what you have and be content.

Internals Time!!

                 I am student pursuing my engineering degree in Electronics and Communication branch.Internals means Internal Assessment marks which is usually for 25 marks for each subject.All the Engineering students under the Visvesvaraya Technological University will be well aware of Internals and they will be well experienced as well.

                 Usually the maximum number of students doing engineering follow the same policy of studying on the previous night of the test or exam.I agree that I am also one among those students who is used to preparing for tests or exams on the previous night.I honestly have realized that this is a worst practice or worst habit to be cultivated.It may sound cool when you tell someone that you study only on the day before exam,but will it fetch you something from doing that.You just end up spoiling your future slowly but strongly.

                 Even though I have experienced the bad effects of previous night preparation,I have not removed that habit.Today I had internals and preparation was again only from yesterday.So however this internals has already started I wish not to continue the bad habit of mine further.

                 I would like to make a commitment that I wont be continuing the practice of previous night or last minute preparation.

Ganesh Visarjan :-):-)

                 Ganesh Visarjan is a activity performed during the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi.This festival is celebrated on the birthday of God Ganesha.During this festival,there is tradition followed in which different kinds of idols of Ganesha are installed in homes with decorations or in pandals in every locality.It is usually kept for few days,after which it is immersed in the nearby water body.The immersion is preceded by a wonderful procession with music,dance,enjoyment and distributing of prasadas(any kind of sweet or dish prepared,to be served to people after performing the rituals) to everyone.This is called as Ganesh Visarjan.

             Being a Hindu and a true believer of God Ganesha,we had placed Ganesha in pandal in an open site of ours.We usually used to do it on roads,but the police had not granted the permission this year due to some problems.As a result we decided to do it in our site which is adjacent to the house we are currently staying in.People keep Ganesha for different number of days,we had planned it for three days.So today being the third day it was time for Ganesh Visarjan in the evening.

               Ganesh Visarjan is preceded by music and dance.We had arranged for Tamte(sounds produced by drums which thrills anyone to dance)from Andhra Pradesh.It was really great fun,dancing after so many days from heart with complete joy and celebration.After procession of
Ganesha inside the locality,it was time for Ganesh Visarjan and we had planned to immerse it in a nearby water body called Sankey Tank.As soon as we left to Sankey Tank after the procession,it started to rain.Thankfully there were umbrella to provide shelter for Ganesha as it would melt due to water,since its made of clay or plaster of paris.

         Finally we reached and could do the Visarjan properly.Overall it was an awesome experience throughout these three days.

Dont strain yourself!!!

               Do work hard,do party hard,do everything hard but ultimately don't strain yourself much.If the situation demands activities more than your normal routine,make sure that you will even give yourself proper rest after that.Straining yourself at times is advisable if its necessary but at the same time,required rest should be given to the body.

               I wanted to write a blog on straining looking at the software engineers.I agree that they are given a handsome salary which easily makes them get settled in life within no time,but the amount of work they do is just too much.They work like machines from morning to evening continuously for five days a week.The rest two days are given as a break,which will obviously spent in just resting and recovering their body to normal from back pain etc.There wont be any time or mood for enjoyment or entertainment.

              Hard work is very much required but not strain work.I feel that there should be a change in the working routine in many companies which will make sure that the health of employees or workers is not spoiled."Health is Wealth" and hence even if salary is too good but health is too bad,then the earned money is of utter waste.

               So I request all the readers to work hard but don't strain yourself much.Give proper time for work and for required rest as well

HAPPY GANESH CHATURTHI

                        I wish all Hindus a very happy Ganesh Chaturthi festival,may all your wishes come true and let your life become more prosperous from this festival.Well to those readers who dont know about this:Ganesha is a widely worshiped deity among the Hindus.Ganesha is widely revered as remover of obstacles.Ganesha is invoked at the beginning of new venture or start of travel.Ganesh chaturthi is an Hindu festival celebrated on birthday of the god Ganesha.

               Ganesh chaturthi is one such festival which is celebrated with full dedication,enjoyment,energy,spirit,happiness etc.Ganesh chaturthi is celebrated all over India,in Nepal and by Hindus in United states,Canada,Mauritius,Singapore,Thailand etc.It is most elaborate and widely celebrated in Mumbai city of Maharastra.The date of festival usually falls between 19August and 20Septemner.The festival lasts for 10 or 12 days starting on Shukla chaturthi(fourth day of waxing moon) and ends on anant chaturdashi.

                 This year today is Ganesh chaturthi and it feels great when this festival is celebrated.Everyone will be so happy and spirited with full celebrations.Ganesha statues of different kinds are made by skilled artisans and kept for sale from few days or weeks before the festival.These statues are installed in homes or in pandals in every locality.They are placed either on the day of festival or few days after it,it is kept for one day,three days,five days,seven days etc.After that it is returned to Earth by immersing it in nearby water body.In Bangalore,it is celebrated very well.Being a bangalorean I enjoyed and celebrated the festival to my fullest.

Good Beginnings!!

                  Good Morning everyone:)Irrespective of the time of the day,I have learnt from the team IU to wish everyone as "Good Morning."The logic behind it is simple,morning is something we start fresh after the previous day's tiredness,happiness,sadness etc.In simple words its a good beginning.So by wishing Good Morning,its nothing but,making every moment new,fresh and a good beginning.I feel that "New Year" is just celebrated for enjoyment,a break from work,studies etc.Every minute is new in everyone's Life.

                  Good beginnings are always necessary to prosper.Would you like to continue a long journey,if you see the tire of your car punctured as soon as you start off??or if you meet with an accident?? No right!!However you may continue if the situation demands your presence or if you can take that positively and move on.But atleast for few minutes you will be disappointed.In contrast if there are good beginnings,you will enjoy the journey more.Hence good beginnings are always necessary to be happy and to prosper.

                  Today is one of the most important day of my life.Today was the "gudli puja" or "bhoomi puja" of our site.Its a ritual performed before beginning the construction of house,hotels or any buildings.It is considered auspicious to start off like that.So it basically is assumed to be good beginning.Today was the "Good beginning" of our house to be constructed in the near future.I wanted to write a blog on this,so that I can easily preserve important events in my Life.And not only me,but the entire world can see it.The day was good with this "Good Beginning."

        I wish everyone a very happy beginning to whatever you do,make all your dreams and wishes come true.

                 Life is full of unbelievable,unimaginable and wonderful experiences.There are different kinds of experiences throughout our life like studying,reading,loving,caring etc.Shopping experience is one among them.I had a shopping experience today with my loved one for the first time.I had been to buy shirts for the festival or for the "Gudli puja" tomorrow.Gudli puja is a religious ritual performed before starting the construction of house,other buildings etc.

              Though I am not a shopaholic,I like shopping at times depending on the interest in buying something.Generally I go for shopping with family,parents,my brother and friends.But when I go to buy clothes for me its 99% of times with parents.There might be a change in upcoming days wherein someone special may accompany me for shopping.Today I had been to buy shirt as per my loved one's wish to see me in new clothes for either tomorrow's puja or for the festival,day after tomorrow.

              It was an as usual experience in college.After that me and my friends had good discussion on amazing topics.Then it was time for shopping.It was an wonderful experience throughout.We actually had made a choice before going there,but when I tried the shirt by wearing,it was not that good.And we couldn't find any good one in that shop,as a result we set on for other shop.There the collections were good and I tried different shirts,finally ended up buying black shirt which was looking amazing on me according to me and my loved one.But we also loved one more shirt and jacket,but couldn't buy due to shortage of money.So have decided to buy that shirt and jacket also after complete hard work in the upcoming week.

               I wish and I am damn sure of shopping like this from my earnings as soon as possible.

Learning is an endless process

Wherever you go,Learning is always there

                 What is Learning??Its not just studying the subjects of your school or college or reading different kinds of books.It includes reading,studying and knowing different concepts,things,ideologies etc and implementing that in some or the other way.We learn a lot in our life.Studying may have an end when you complete graduation or post graduation.Reading may have an end when you lose interest in it.But Learning is an endless process,whether we have interest or not,Life keeps on teaching us different lessons everyday.

               There are lessons to learn in each and everyday of our life.One common thing is the TIME.We learn how time plays an important role in our life,hence how time must be utilized and how important it is to have a proper timing for everything.We learn how some time wasted in a day,if used in a better way could have been beneficiary in a big way.We can learn from our parents everyday about responsibilities,we can learn from our teachers about importance of sharing knowledge,we can learn from the traffic policemen about duty and many more learnings.

              Some of the very important things I have learn t  from my mentors is Repeated Reinforcement,sharing regularly,sharing honestly,moving out of comfort zone and making discomfort zone as comfort zone in order to become an achiever in life and the most important of all is "CONSISTENCY."Its very important to be consistently consistent in life in order to succeed.In order to make my consistency stronger,I had decided to write blogs everyday and I am doing it from past 50 days and I am damn sure of continuing it.I feel very happy that my best friend is also consistently writing blogs everyday from nearly 25 days.

              Today was an awesome day.I spent a lot of time today with my close friend.I learn t a lot from that friend of mine today.Mainly I learn t to trust and care from that friend.The amount of trust is just unmeasurable.Then I learn t about athmavalokana.It is an wonderful concept,its nothing but spending few minutes for yourself at the end of the day.Before sleeping,just think of what all things you did today,separate them as good and bad things as per your self-conscious.And make a commitment of not repeating the bad things and amplifying or increasing the good things.I and my friend have decided to do this daily in order to become a better person everyday.

         "Learning is fun,learn from whatever you do and keep learning."

HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY

Dr.Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan

               I would like to wish everyone a very happy teachers day.In India,Dr.Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan's birthday is celebrated as Teachers Day.The day is celebrated in order to appreciate the brilliant works of teachers,and celebrations to honor them for their contributions in different fields.It is impossible to imagine a world without teachers and students.
          In India the Teacher-student were called as Guru-shishya,however it is even called now in few places.There are several strong bonding in this world,the most strongest being Mother-child,then Brother-sister and Friends.Likewise Guru-shishya or the Teacher-student bonding is extremely strong and wonderful.The best Guru-shishya story I have known from childhood is of Dronacharya-Arjuna.Arjuna was the most hard-working and dedicated among all the kaurava and pandava brothers trained under dronacharya.
           I feel so great to have been a student of amazing and inspiring teachers in my life.I feel extremely happy to be a mentee(student) of great mentors Sujit Lalwani Sir,Bharath Sir,Mohan Sir,Kunal Sir,Sireesha Mam,Surendra Sir,Preethi Mam and Shruthi Mam.These are all time inspiring teachers or mentors of mine,who will always be there for my support in everything I do.I will make sure that they will always feel proud of me.
              I would like to wish the most memorable teachers of my life-Julie mam,Sandhya mam,Kavitha mam,Deepak Sir,Kumar Sir,Preethi mam,annapoorni mam,Madhusmitha mam,Sridevi mam,Anil Sir,Nagesh Sir and Madhusudhan Sir a very Happy Teachers Day.I would also like to be thankful for them for having educated me about different things including studies,enjoyment etc.

Dont think much!!!

                 Thinking is definitely an important act to be done in order to have a proper and systematic life.But I feel that too much thinking is not important and at times its harmful as well.I agree that we should think in different cases like before speaking to someone,before promising someone,before doing something which cannot be later changed.

                 Whereas thinking too much in unnecessary issues which may or may not happen in future is waste of time.And sometimes it is also harmful because it can make you land up thinking about negative thoughts.Negative thoughts are thoughts which can easily lower down anyone's confidence and strength unless they are very strong at mind.For example,many people were damn worried and thinking much about the news that the World will end in December 2012.I feel that even if that was true,instead of worrying,people should enjoy the time remaining till the World ends as no one can stop it.

             In the same way when you are worried about your future,let it be studies,relationship,family etc. Instead of thinking much about it,start doing something for the betterment of it because just thinking will take you nowhere.However little thinking must be done but too much thinking will make you think more negative,thereby lower your confidence and hence less action which will lead you nowhere.What has to happen will surely happen,don't just think much and make the worse happen than what was supposed to happen.

               "Everything is written" so don't think much,always keep faith in strong beliefs.The more you believe,the more it will happen.

Always be QUICK

              Be quick in whatever you do.Being quick in the activities we do saves a lot of time and everyone know the value of time.I have experienced that not being quick is due to laziness,lack of interest etc. Its not that,laziness is a disease which cannot be cured,it definitely can be cured.For that,first thing to be done is mindset.Anything which you do is due to the mindset you have towards that particular thing.After proper mindset,develop a habit of doing work quick or in less time than what you usually take for it.
               By being quick time is definitely saved and one more benefit is the particular work will be over soon and it can be deleted from your to-do list.However being quick is different from hurrying.Hurrying is nothing but an act of doing things quickly but not properly.Because while hurrying,you tend to forget many important things and it definitely makes you lose patience.Instead have an habit of doing things quickly,which wont make you hurry up later.
             Example of hurrying in my life is while getting ready to leave to college.I tend to forget things sometimes because of hurrying.This eventually happens just because I dint do the things before getting ready "QUICKLY."So I have made it a point to do all the things quickly,save time and finish that particular work soon.
              Now also I was supposed to sleep but I am consistently blogging from 50days and dint want to break it.So I thought of writing the blog quickly and then sleep.Hence my title for this blog happened to be "Always be QUICK."

Everyone in the world have 24hours per day only

                 Yes everyone in this world have 24 hours per day only.Its not that the successful people have more time or more hours per day and those who are not successful have less hours per day.Everyone have only 24hours per day,the people who become successful are those who utilize the 24hours time in the most efficient way possible.The one who knows to manage time well can do wonders.

             Great personalities have reached that level mainly because of time management.They had family,friends,studies etc. like what everyone of us have.The difference is they knew how to manage time.They would have given particular time for work,family,friends,enjoyment etc.Time should be completely and properly utilized because you can get back anything in this world which is lost,but not time.Life is just once,live it to the best you can."Don't grieve about your past,don't think much about your future.Just rock the present."

             I was someone who used to waste a lot of time earlier.Now I have changed a lot and am utilizing time in the best way possible.I feel happy because even if I waste time in something unnecessary,I realize it and try to rectify it next time.So I feel that everyone in this world should realize the value of time and utilize it in the best way possible.

INSPIRATIONAL SPEAKING CHANGES LIVES

Sujit Lalwani Sir

               I believe in this very strongly that inspirational speaking from inspirational speakers can change lives.Though I have changed in my life from lazy guy to hard working and inspiring one myself,the initial spark of inspiration was after I listened to inspirational speakers.It was seriously ultra amazing.

            The most inspirational speaker we all were curious about was Sujit Lalwani Sir.The talk was first started by Bharath G.C Sir who was the reason for us to attend the talk,by the curiosity and excitement he had created.Then came the dynamic inspirational speaker called Mohan B.N sir who just rocked completely and inspired each and every soul present there.Then it was time for the most awaited speaker to take on the stage.And finally the time came when Sujit Lalwani sir gave and grand entry and took on the stage.After that it was just inspiring entertainment,each word had a great impact on everyone.I was one such who was inspired by the talk.

           Just talking cannot change lives but speaking after you have done something inspiring and with an intention to change lives will definitely change lives.Today was a day wherin I was part of event called "Being Entrepreneurial" and I was invited on stage by Sujit Lalwani Sir which makes me feel so proud.As always today also there were nearly 300 youth inspired.

            Sujit Lalwani Sir amd IU team will keep inspiring people always for sure.I request all my readers to get inspired and inspire others.I am very happy that I have inspired one soul very much along with having inspired my mentors,parents and friends.
