A Journey To The Farthest Distances: Yesterday n Tomorrow

Are you living in the present?


If your answer is yes then you have nothing at all to worry about. But the rest of them fall prey to the mysterious time.


Do you find yourself either idling over the past or worrying about the future? Can you sit for hours on end all alone doing nothing but just thinking? Do you keep regretting over the mistakes of the past?


If your answer to most of the above questions is an inevitable 'yes'...then you are almost close to giving up your life...

                            
 “The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.” – Buddha

The past cannot be changed as we have already gone through it...The future is something which hasn't happened yet... both the past and the future are illusions. Only the present is a reality. If you are living in illusions then you are not a part of reality and if you are not a part of reality, then you can never be a part of the future you envision.

Because it is in the reality where you get to put your efforts for a better tomorrow.Procrastination is also an illusion coz tomorrow never comes for the simple reason that it doesn't exist today.

But fortunately, with a little effort everyone can learn to live the present.Always remember that the mind is the only thing that determines where we live: either in the past, present or the future.If the mind seems to get out of your control then try and observe your breath for a while because when you do this you'll know that breath is something that is helping you live the present.It helps you connect with reality.

And finally, it is neither the past nor the future that makes you what you want to be: It is the present. Accept life as it is and you'll appreciate the change you notice in your life.Don't let anything stand in your way to a more successful and happier life...              

Hopeless...n...Helpless...(but y?...)

I've called a few NGO's  but all their numbers seemed to be unreachable...so with a heavy heart when i walked the same street again i din't find him anywhere over there. I can only hope helplessly that he's fine somewhere.

I'm prepared this time...if any such situation confronts me in future...i learned that extending a caring hand with a caring heart and love-filled eyes is the best thing to do...

A Li'l Joy + A Li'l Pain ... n thats LIFE

I enrolled myself for guitar classes at Avanthi Musicals. After many enquiries i found this place to be the best in hyderabad. So last week was my first class...the sir taught me about the seven notes and asked me to practice playing them...it was a bit difficult to memorize those notes but on the whole it was jus fine.

Then i practiced the whole week coz i had to play the saregama's...for the next class...and yesterday was my second class. This time he gave me the notes to a music.It was such a ear-pleasing thing to hear music played by my own hands...but by the end of the class my fingers had that deep pink colour which would have looked cute n beautiful on sum gorgeous dress but definitely not on painful fingers.

Well, those things aside i got more important things to share with you guys. One morning, i was walkin on this street by my house n found to my displeasure, a person curled up on the road. He was in the most terrible state imaginable. His skin was highly infected with some sort of disease. He was lying there by the side of the road. People of the nearby houses gave him something to eat but he needed more than jus food. He needed that caring touch and the personal attention of a doctor. I wanted to do something in order to make him feel happy or even a bit better than what he was that day. But,...(i even hate myself for trying to give a reason for not doin sumthin).

I walked away from being good to someone... i felt terribly guilty for havin behaved so. But i found a way in which i could help him indirectly if not directly... there is a website called karmayog ... here you find the total list of NGO's in India diversified by various things like state, region, the category of the person in need of aid (like children, physically disabled, medical care needed etc...). So i have noted down a few contact numbers from it n i plan to call them up and inform abt this person.

I will let u know what happened once i make the call. But i only request you to make use of the site in case of any such situations. Even though we cannot get ourselves to help a person directly it would be pretty gud to show atleast a bit of humanity in helping them indirectly.

Heartrending words...

"I believe you", I said.
"That's better", she said. "Now would you do me a favour?" From somewhere inside me came this devastating assault to make me cry. But i understood. I would not cry. I would merely indicate to Jennifer- by the affirmative nodding of my head- that i would be happy to do her any favour whatsoever.
"Would you please hold me very tight?" she asked. I put my hand on her forearm--Christ,so thin--and gave it a little squeeze.
"No, Oliver", she said, "really hold me. Next to me".
I was very, very careful--of the tubes and things--as i got onto the bed with her and put my arms around her.
"Thanks, Ollie."
Those were her last words.
.
.
.
"Oliver", said my father urgently, "I want to help."
"Jenny's dead", I told him.
"I'm sorry", he said in a stunned whisper.
Not knowing why, I repeated what I had long ago learned from the beautiful girl now dead.
"Love means not ever having to say you're sorry".

And then I did what I had never done in his presence, much less in his arms.I cried.

A TRUE INSPIRATION

I've registered on blogger long back and the reason why i didn't post many things is solely because i cudn't decide what exactly to blog about.I googled through the net in search of anything or everything i could blog abt...as a consequence this blog had to undergo many changes.When i was sure about a topic i wasnt sure exactly what to post in it...and sometimes i felt like posting something which was in no way related to the blog.

This state of utter confusion made me give up the idea of bloggin for a long expanse of time.But then again thanks to CAT, it helped me get back to bloggin...(i didn't mention earlier; I'm preparing for CAT-10).It was the T.I.M.E Faculty who asked us to blog in order for each of us to follow our own line of thought.


At this point i came across this blog of Anirudh Singh. Well if you ask me who this guy is...frankly speakin i dunno.But from his blog i could make out that he is presently pursuing his MBA  from WIMWI(as IIMA students call it!). It was partly WIMWI that made me read his blog, but the core reason why i found his blog interesting is because it taught me many things.It gave me rightful answers for the questions that have been naggin me since a long time.

Apart from all these things his words managed to create a deep-rooted passion in me towards WIMWI.I know for sure it'll drive me to work hard for my journey to IIMA...  
Okay now i gotto leave...got a petty internal xam tomorrow...kya kare?...it maybe trivial for me but for an alien named FINALS it plays a pretty significant role...so with a heavy heart i sign off and hope to get back as soon as possible...
