To be continued--Nature and me....

I was crazy for him time after time...Then may be it is holy Ranges of himalayas or Bful occen of kanyakumari... then may be it is Zills of kashmir or sea at konark...or may bful chinar and pine trees...may b it is manali,simla aur kulu..or Either it is hills of utty or darjiling...yah phir...nepal...

whatever..everything drove me crazy

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.....by Anne Frank

Red Wines:--

Pinot noir--All time Favr8..

Quite Fruity,Fresh and any where --any time..goes with any kind of Food..(strawberry and plum flavors)

Cabernet sauvignon:-- tannin is high ,spicy and Quite dry..Better with italian food...(black currant flavors)

Merlo:--in between Pinot noir and Cabernet sauvignon..(Blackcherry and with some herbal flavors )

Syrah:The abundance of fruit sensations is often complemented by warm alcohol and gripping tannins..quite spicy...(just tried in napa valley)

Zinfandel:--I tried white zinfandel..

Nature..u r my fasination from childhood....Sometimes I asked myself...what I like about u the most?...

when I look at shiny beautiful morning..

I feel U r representative of life..so u r very lively..ebullient..happy..active...whenever I see sunrise..I say to myself in moments life will start at its own pace..dhoodhwala will bring dhoodh..mom will make tea from fresh milk...newspaperwala ladka will throw paper...gindergarden tiny's will go to school ...Teenagers will go for their morning tuitions.papa will turn-on radio...some melodious morning raag will be played ....ppl will rush to office..slowly and surely whole road will get packed ..

So bful is the morning ..Fresh..beautiful..enthusiastic....fresh holy breeze all over...chanting of birds..bushes with dew drops..

Nature and me

1) beautiful sunset,lush green lawn and hot cup of tea...

2)Very calm evening..gentle breeze ...walking in the woods..

3)Long Drive in bushy hills..having soothing romantic music

4)pleasant whether ..calm seashore..walking on the sand..looking at sunset..

5) orange pinkish dawn ,a cock crow..chanting of birds...a long morning walk...

6) A calm cloudy afternoon,sitting in the balcony.. closing the eyes and relaxing a bit..

7)Dark cold night .. pin drop silence ..

a fireplace..hot drinks... moon and twinkling stars..Talking with the self...

The moment I have.............
A devine bliss came to me at a fine evening and said..
A moment from time space is given to u...
Very next moment u have to die..do whatever u have to do with this single moment..
There are so many things to me on to-do list..either remember all past beautiful memories or plans for the future or remember all beloved person or to see some bful dreams...I was perplexed and confused...there are so many things on to-do list and a single moment...
I said I forgot the past and let go the future...I just want to live full in this moment...i want to njoy this moment...The Devine Man said"oh my girl...i m impressed by ur answer.. if u r really justifying ur moment in this way....i will make this moment a whole life...but if u r engrossed in past and future...i will make ur whole life a moment..choice is yours..deal yah no-deal" :-)

I thought some of my friends has taken wrong meaning of my previous article..
When I say investing time doesn't means not to njoy at all...njoy the life or rather i say live the life by moment...but also invest ur time and set ur priorities...lets drive the life..donot let life to drive u....no hard feelings please..:-)

Some practical thoughts...
We used to take life for granted...as we think we have eminent Time..Time and efforts(energy) is limited......they are resources..and as or more valuable than money..
when we give money to xyz person or activity we remembered..but we underestimate importance of time and energy..

underestimating importance Time and Efforts...

One day my sister's friend came to our place,she was quite frustrated.her problem was her younger brother was very friendly,extrovert and social..so obviously he has many friends..
His all friends are quite intelligent ..after 12th his most of friends got admission to IITs,regional collage and some good private engineering collage...he wants to accompany them but as he got very less percentage ..he went to a line which he doesn;t preferred and not much of scope..
As elder sister she was feeling bad that her very bright brother cannot able to pull good success in 12th which is called turning point of career for indian student...

Then she did analysis...his friends were pretty smart ones...Everyone used to study whole day and when they got bored, for a change and for getting relax..they used to come his place..
"Arey yaar chal tapri cut marke chai peete hai","Arey yaar 10 minutes ke liye hi aa..ek walk marte hai".."arey yaar katte pe thodi derr gappe marte hai"..chal thodi derr cricket khelte hai..

As they were good friends 10-15 minutes was smaller thing for him...now here is a catch she got..
his friends donot have many friends..for them they are devoting 15-20 minutes for a person was ok...they got relaxed ..freshened up ..went back to study...
he has 10-12 friends...15-20 minutes for each friends cost him near about 200 minutes daily..

i.e 3 hours..20 minutes...continuous breakages in his study module falters his timetable everytime..She said he never understands the importance of time and efforts..

7 years after that..

that day suddenly came to our place in pune...by that she was got married..she told her brother was working in small firm which he doesnot want to work..his most of friends are now well placed ..now he was not in touch with most of them....
his friends was whole and soul for him at that time.. now they r not even in touch..he was bright student..he may have good preferred future if he understood importance of time..

What is the life ?
pacifying senses and letting them go is the life? Or Controling them for higher goal is the life ?

I was a student of Full sanskrut and there was a beautiful lesson about this...
Each and every senses thinks they are masters , plays vital role and better than other one...
so they arrange a competition ..each sense will dessert a body for one month and will return back...and ultimately they will decide who is greatest one...
there r five senses 1)eyes(sense to see) 2)ear(sense to listen) 3)skin(sense to feel) 4)nostrils(sense to smell) 5) tongue(sense to taste)...


month after month every sense loses his strenght...when eyes loses his strenght..the body behaves like blind...likewise like deaf..and others..body adjusted and still alive...
senses are significant ,source of enjoyment but not wholesome...man still remains alive without them...They are served to us for attaining higher purpose in life.....life is not provided to pacify them....

vanities of earth are many...I have been visited thousand bful places in my lifetime..still million bful places will yet remaining..
evenI have tasted tousands delicious dishes ..still million delicious dishes will yet remaining...
even I mastered thousands skills ..still million skills will yet remaining..
even Xyz is surrounded by thousands handsome guys/bful girls still billion more gorgeous one will yet remaining...
even I smell thousands of perfumes ,wear high fashionable cloths and sandals ..still billion remain ing...

even if i will take thousands of birth..i will not able to enjoy everything....

Life is not running after senses but controlling them...senses r powerful tools ...it is our hand to use them for making our program worked...:-D

The more we control ourself : the more we control others..
The one who got control on oneself ,the more he has got control on others..
There is nothing outside which is not inside...:-)
One suffers because one cannot control his/her senses...
I read this theory when I was in engineering third year..I was extremely fascinated by this one..
I have decided to expriment on this..Those days I used to watch lotsa Tv, it was somehow hampering my studies..once I started Tv I used to watch it for 3-4 hours togather..I found not watching tv was not in my control...especially cricket matches...[mom used to call TV as Idiot Box]..I have decided i will not watch TV for next one month...But very next day I broke my resolution for sachin's sixer and madhuri's movie..:-)..
I felt bad..Small idiot box was ruling over my senses..I felt i was very easy victim of temptations and I felt like a hell that time..."is i m slave of my senses or senses r my slaves....if my mind cannot control them..then they will start controlling me...
pacifying senses and letting them go is the life? Or Controling them for higher goal is the life ?
If i cannot control myself i m no-entity..if i cannot keep my small resolution- i m no- entity in this world...The one who cannot control herself ..cannot imagine to control others...
Gandhiji abandoned his comfortable life..so millions of poor indian relate himself with them...
He controlled himself so millions of ppl looked upto him as a godfather...
First it is needed to set our example...for that requires lotsa of self control...
I felt like a zero at that time...I cannot keep my small resolution....nah it should not happen again...
Then I have decided why not to keep short term plans...I should start it from single day..
I have decided whatever will happen I will not watch Tv today...even though sachin makes his century yah Kumble takes his hattrick... "
That day passed and I kept my resolution of not watching the Tv..I was very happy..it has given me little confidence...slowly ..day after day I kept my resolution..for more than 40 days..
In those 40 days..I have studied all my hard modules ...then willingly i ended my resolution..and then again started watching Tv..But now it makes whole the difference...from then whenever I have decided to study ..I was able to shutdown the Idiot box.:-)

It was hot summer afternoon..me and mom just took my admission in KG2.We were on the way to go to my moushi's place(aunti's place)..she was living nearby..we were on the way and suddenly I found out a purse -full of money...I was happily surprised.I showed it to mother and said "hey mom ..look at it..lotsa money..now let's hire rikshaw(auto) to go to moushi's place :-)"..
Mom said "put it down beta,its not our money"..I was little disappointed at that time but i put it down..

I was in which standard I haven't rember now..
I came from school was pretty tired and had lotsa homework to do..
There was small ganapati dance competition in our apartment and I was given my name earlier..
But that day I was so tired ..I told my mom.."hey i m not going.. i m tired and have to do lotsa math homework" ...My father heard that told me " u suppose to keep your words..u should go and participate...wake up early in the morning for ur homework..."..I generally obey my father's words...we all sisters give respect to his words..I went there and participated and got first prize :-)

I was lil wicked kid when I was small...:-)..I like to invite friends for bday(for gifts) :-D...whenever there was any of my friends bday..me and mom always go to shopping..always brought very good gift for them..and always I want to keep it for myself..:-)
Mom always use to say "the way u like taking the things ..u should also learn to giving things and that also willingly..there pleasure in giving also"
