LOVE, the basis of Life !

Just decide it !

2011-12-18T14:54:00.000+05:30

I would like to bring to your notice that you can fall in love with anyone, it just depends on how pure your conscience is.

Dwell deep into this thought. Take a while, let this thought sink into your thinking lanes.

Do not agree ?

Let me give you an example. Consider a rich man. He can give his money to anyone he decides to pass his richness to. He has to decide. Well that's it. Loving is so simple a transaction. (thought it is much more than just a material transaction)

We just have to decide. That we will LOVE.
And not hate.

So decide that you will LOVE the person you hate. If the person is causing harm to you. We can give a loving reply :)

Everyone soul has propensity to love

Pursuit of Higher Happiness

2011-11-07T15:11:00.000+05:30

I read an amazing story which i am sharing with all. I don't know how much one can relate to the story as i do.

But as far as i see for myself, i see Pursuit of higher truth and happiness and more importantly Humility.

I will give you readers a little background to the story. Amrit Gopal, the person concerned in the story is a devotee of Krishna who just loves dancing in front of his Lord and weeps in humility.

This much background, is enough to keep the suspense, a suspense. :)
Ameen !

Selfless LOVE

2011-10-30T23:43:00.001+05:30

Came across a good quote. Profound. Needs good thinking to understand the gravity of the words spoken.

To the degree we cultivate the spirit of selfless service, to that degree we’ll actually find bliss in life.
- Radhanath Swami

Brings up an argument in my impure mind. What if I'm used by others.

God, He and money.

2011-10-19T14:53:00.001+05:30

He : God, do I need money to show love ?
God : No child, you just need love.
He : But God, I see rich people happy and satisfied. Which in turn they reciprocate with others.
God : O child, that is give and take. Love is above these transactions.
He : But God, how can I feel loved if it is not reverted back to me. I don't want to just give love and in turn get back nothing.
God : O Child, real love is unconditional.
He : Then God what is that which I see in the world around me. People are so happy. They give love and they get love. They are even loved when they don't show love. Look at celebrities God, they have so many lovers, they don't even know who they all are.
God : Child, what is that you really want.
He : To be loved.
God : So don't drink from rivulets, seek the ocean.
He : Where is the ocean of love ?
God : In Me. Seek it.

Love stays

2011-10-19T02:21:00.001+05:30

Relationships fall apart. Friendships end. Hearts break. But the love doesn't die.

Regret ?

2011-10-18T15:01:00.001+05:30

Was it really love if you regret falling in love ?

readers, please leave your comment.

Maturity ?

2011-10-10T02:28:00.000+05:30

Does love require maturity ?
Because if someone is not mature...they would end up in fights..and if they end up in fights and they part away ...do they really love each other ?

Radhanath Swami at Harvard University - YouTube:

Mothers LOVE, or I should just say ...Pure Love.

2011-09-02T15:13:00.000+05:30

Copy pasted from a article i read, narrated by a Mother.

Linda Sailor.

When my youngest son, Bobby, was diagnosed with autism at the age of three, I remember feeling as if all hope had been taken away from me. He threw violent tantrums, rocked, stimmed, banged his head, and had about a six-word vocabulary. His eye contact was poor and his mental age was about 20 months; physically he'd stalled out at 15 months as far as motor skills went.

I read up on the subject - as best as was available in 1989, and one of the books I came across was Temple's biography. She stated there (as she did in this talk) to take advantage of interests in teaching autistic kids. We'd enrolled Bobby in Early Childhood Special Education by then. He wasn't toilet-trained and tantrumed so often that I know his teacher felt as I did - no hope.

However, we persisted. By the age of three and a half Bobby developed a fascination for spinning objects. Remembering Temple's advice I figured what object spun more than the water in a toilet? I decided to take one week of Easter Vacation and teach him how to use the toilet. Within three days he was dry, by the end of the week he was dry at night and fully trained. We'd used spinning objects (the toilet water) and his fascination with bathrooms to motivate him. Even neuro-normal children generally don't train that quickly!

Just prior to that time his uncle had given him a toy consisting of pictures and a computerized chip that enabled it to state what each object was when touched. Sometimes a sound would accompany the object's name - a cat, for example, would "meow." He was totally fascinated with this toy, although we had no way of knowing if he was simply memorizing the correct answers or if he was actually learning something.

One day we found out. One of the objects was a "red car" and it honked when touched. As it happened I owned a red car. Bobby got out of the car when we got home, turned around, touched it, and said, "red car." Inspired, I reached inside and honked it.

It was as if switch had been turned on, never to be silenced. His next set of words were "what's this?" and it rang in my ears for months as he kept touching items, demanding to know what they were. By the age of five he spoke in two word sentences; by the age of eight he was staffed out of Special Education and began to show an interest in Math and the weather. At the age of 13 he taught himself Calculus; in middle and secondary schools was in all honors classes.

He's now 24, almost 25. He just passed his PhD qualification exam and will begin work on that next January. His major? Atmospheric Sciences, to go with the obsession of weather and math that he's always had. He's very vocal, affectionate and unless you pay close attention you can't tell he's different. However, he still stims on occasion, usually when playing video games and driving. That's right - driving. His fingers twitch and rub together on one hand, he drives with the other. He has friends, some of them gamers, some geeks like he is, some more "neuro-typical."

As for me, I've come to realize that Bobby comes by it honestly - I am a self-diagnosed woman with Asperger's Syndrome. I fit all the criteria, including social awkwardness, poor eye contact, and fixations, among other things. I am a visual thinker - as Temple pointed out, she thought that everyone thought in pictures!

this shows just pure eagerness to help someone out of love. was amazed to how far the intelligence could go in helping someone out.

Once Loved, Needs Love

2011-08-11T16:20:00.000+05:30

When you once taste the sweetness of love....you keep longing for the same.

And when you loose the touch of that pure love.....there is always some vacant feeling in the heart !

Our Guide

I read an interesting quote today, and it would take a lifetime for me to realize its depth.

Let me caution you before you read it. It might occupy your comtemplative capabilities for a lifetime !

"Let Love be our guide"

Anguish

2011-06-30T15:01:00.000+05:30

What is more painful for a lover, than to receive inappropriate reciprocation for the love he showers on her beloved.

At the shore

2011-06-27T20:38:00.002+05:30

It was Me
Always at the shore.

It was joy, came high, came fast,
Bathe me, almost drowned,.
When, was it about to take my breath away,
It waved my feet, last of its touch.

It was grief, came creeping, came slow,
Anchored me, almost sucked,
When, was it about to engrave,
Left me, with just the effort to re-surface.

It was friend, came whirling, came dashing,
Splashed me, Coloured me.
When, was it about to tickle a smile,
Left me, standing in embrace.

It was a enemy, came whirling, came dashing
Splashed me, Coloured me
Left me, standing in realization..

It tickled a smile.

It is Me

Always at the shore.

My book

2011-06-26T19:40:00.001+05:30

To my Soul-mate I replied.

"What more could I say,

My life is but now an open book.

What more could i say to You,

My life is but now an open book.

I didn't matter for You have not inscribed,

Be compassionate to not write with a thorn, I beg".

Says Not Me, but My Heart

2011-06-26T19:23:00.002+05:30

I have capped every emotion I had,

Oh my ! every emotion I had.

For they were about You.

For now let me speak.

Even my heart says,

Even my heart says to me,

"Vinay , its been ages I have beated for u "

Japan !

2011-03-23T23:14:00.000+05:30

10 things to learn from Japan-

1. THE CALM Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.

2. THE DIGNITY-----Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.

3. THE ABILITY The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn’t fall.

4. THE GRACE-----People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.

5. THE ORDER-----No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.

6. THE SACRIFICE----Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?

7. THE TENDERNESS------Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak.

8. THE TRAINING----The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.

9. THE MEDIA----They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage.

10. THE CONSCIENCE---When the power went off in a store,people put things back on the shelves & left quietly.

Can you imagine what would have happened, if anything on the smaller likes of what is happening in Japan, happened in India !

What is perfection ?

2010-10-24T11:15:00.001+05:30

It is mentioned in Sri Hari-bhakti-sudhodaya (13.2):

aksnoh phalam tvadrsa-darsanam hi
tanoh phalam tvadrsa-gatra-sangah
jihva-phalam tvadrsa-kirtanam hi
sudurlabha bhagavata hi loke

Devotees of Bhagavan are extremely rare in this world. Therefore the perfection of the eyes is to see them, the perfection of the body is to touch them and the perfection of the tongue is to glorify them.

Support System Wonder

2010-09-29T21:44:00.000+05:30

Hats off to few peoples confidence; don't they realize that what they are doing is wrong. Or may be they have a good support system to make them forget their moral

I think more of a good support system; once i was told by one of my friends- "I am not worried if not supporting you would get bad effects to me, because I have a girl friend. So I may or may not help you but I will always get help"

People

2010-09-26T00:21:00.001+05:30

People often do the same acts for themselves, of which they complain about others doing it and are quiet happy doing that.

So, do they forget that others also want happiness ? Or are they just mean enough ?

Remembrances of Lives Past

NY Times article on Past Life Memories
A very good read. Click on the link above to view the article

Excerpt;
Belief in reincarnation, he said, “allows you to experience history as yours. It gives you a different sense of what it means to be human.”

My thought.
Is it necessary that people have to believe/be convinced in past/post live before/after death only after when it appears in NY Times ? Well I'm sure there are few many skeptical brains even after this. Ha Ha

Questioning the companion

click on the link above to view the article

I don't know about the intellectual capacity of Julia Roberts, but I am switched on into an appreciative mode by her statement, "I've been so spoiled with my friends and family in this life, next time I want to be just something quiet and supporting."
How foolishly we take our companions for granted, though they are the ones shaping the layout of the master plan of execution in our lives. Think, should be corrected. Before looking forward to praying for a better next life.

The Journey Home

2010-08-15T12:12:00.011+05:30

I recommend each and everyone reading this to once in their life read the book.

For theists it will be a big leap in their faith, and for an atheist it would be a rear example of courage and determination to follow the One thing you have in your heart.

You can find further details here - http://www.thejourneyhomebook.com

P.S. - I've got no incentives from the publisher to publicize the script.

I forget I for You.

2010-08-14T15:09:00.011+05:30

Oh, How me have always yearned !
For once listen to how much I love me,
And feel the joy of I am the only one.

But, the fear your soul fears,
Of this love not being true
It never made me hear you.
For it makes my heart pound so loud
Makes me pain, just one among your crowd.

I still yearn to be loved by you,
For living now is misery.
Only to pacify this treachery,
Now I forget I for you.

How me have always yearned
For once listen to how much I love me.

Why ?

2009-09-20T23:38:00.003+05:30

Why I feel did I realize this so late ?

This can be such a good tool to reflect upon things, to bring back the pinch of gravity I had had.

Thus realizing, I await my exams though and feel studying is the thing to be done for now.

Too Busy

Too busy with the preparations for the FMGE to come up with something

Informed Consent - High Risk

2009-03-27T22:03:00.009+05:30

Case - a 35 year old male, presented in the ER at 9.30 PM with head injury and multiple trauma following a fall while he was working, referred to MTH from WRH. I had just came out from the OT finished assisting a case of Extradural Hematoma, and i got the message “Neuro intern, in the ER in 10 mins” and there I go. The Surgery resident, a good guy, but he had planned to go for dinner before he knew about the case. So he explains to me how to assess a case of trauma and informs me “i am going to eat something, so assess the patient and phone me, and if you think the patients condition is critical call me STAT”

I headed towards the ER, saw the patient and to be honest i don’t have any first impression. Like a newbie, who I m; I just jumped on to history and stuff and then serially examining things which i had been told about. He had a “tender abdomen, painful left elbow and right forearm and pelvic compression test positive”. Within no time i had asked for a series of X-rays for all regions i was suspecting any trauma. My conscience hit me- can they afford this. This question was forgotten in the hustle bustle of the ER, and i headed to call the Resisdent.

I told him everything I could assess, he asked me were bowel sounds present, and I was mum, why shouldn’t I be. I had not checked for it. Hell; I realized how important was it, because if it were not present – indicates something very critical in the abdomen. I shut the phone and checked for it. My stethoscope on his abdominal wall, and I hear some gurgling at adequate interval. Good I said to myself. Within a few seconds the resident was there.

His first impression, the patient appears PALE. And he orders for a fast NS to be given to him. His assessment does not further add to things which I had assessed. But he also asks for an Abdominal Ultrasound urgently. I was angry with myself for not being prompt. ER intern calls the Radiologist on call; this guy has a peculiarity, he does not come to perform any emergency investigation unless he is been called by any consultant. So now we call the surgery consultant too. In the mean time I catheterise the patient. And then we go to Neuro Surgeons residence to show him the CT Scan head – fronto parietal contusion, with frontal depressed fracture.

Back in the ER we now have the surgery consultant , the radiologist has to atleast oblige now. He does oblige and prepares the machine by the time the patient comes from the X-ray dept. What the surgery consultant was worried about was Hemoperitoneum, so he was asking if there was any free fluid in his abdomen. The patient lying on the trolley, radiologist placed the USG probe on his abdominal wall. As soon as the radiologist says ‘minimal free fluid’ the surgery consultant left. The room was now left with the radiologist, the patient, and...........of course ME. My conscience was hitting me – aren’t we missing a Abdominal CT for him. I got back to ER, and this patient got orders to be transferred to Neuro ICU, with conservative management and neuro observation until tomorrow.

A day later, in the morning patient was complaining of severe abdominal pain. O/E abdomen was tense, tender, with guarding and rigidity. The resident asked for a surgery consultation. During the day I came to know that Dept of Surgery had asked for an Abdominal CT Scan; plain. I was busy the whole day in the ward, and in the evening when I was coming for the rounds I saw the patient going upstairs using the elevator. I wondered what took him so long for a so urgent CT Scan. I was taken to thoughts when I was told that because of money constraints they were not able to clear the bill for the CT. They had gone to village then collected money from all the people and had returned to pay.

Scan reveals – massive free fluid in the abdomen and puemo peritoneum. No wonder the abdomen was so tense. The surgeons immediately asked the patient to be shifted for an emergency laprotomy. The MO wrote the high risk consent, it explained the operative procedure and mentioned that the patient has chances to die on table while operating. The resident took it to the patient party for signing.

I was totally taken aback to see the plight of these poor people. When asked the reason for his hesitancy in signing the consent, he revealed in a broken pitch ‘sir the patient is going to die without operation, but if you say the patient also is going to die on the table, then I don’t know why to sign. Too add up we also don’t have enough money. The resident very calmly explains ‘if he’s not operated he’s going to die 100 %, but the chances of dying while operating are only 5 – 10 %. So don’t delay things further and make a decision quickly. While the conversation was going on, the surgeon got a little irritated and said call me when they sign. Just a moment later the elder brother nodded. And the paper was signed. The surgeon went towards OT saying I am getting ready, send him immediately. The signatory broke down into tears the next moment. The patient still was not shifted to OT for may be another 30 – 40 minutes till I was there, the OT bill master was not cleared. I left the ICU.

This was my first experience with plight of patients with poverty, I was thinking about this for a long time after I came back to room. Later I realized, this is just the beginning and maybe there is another patient worse off than this in stored for me tomorrow. Only thing I am worried about is – I should not get used to, else it’ll make the job emotionless.

Getting Serious.

2009-03-21T22:49:00.005+05:30

With my internship started a month ago,what i am feeling is that all peolpe though working under the same roof and staying just a meter away does not seem to cross roads. Blogging and scripting things down seemed to me a good alternative to waiting for people to jump in my arena and share a talk.
Lets see what can I come up with.

The beauty of Mathematics

2008-07-05T17:22:00.000+05:30

"To those who do not know mathematics it is difficult to get across a real feeling as to the beauty, the deepest beauty, of nature ... If you want to learn about nature, to appreciate nature, it is necessary to understand the language that she speaks in"
Richard Feynman

Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty — a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show. The true spirit of delight, the exaltation, the sense of being more than Man, which is the touchstone of the highest excellence, is to be found in mathematics as surely as poetry. (The Study of Mathematics, in Mysticism and Logic, and Other Essays, ch. 4, London: Longmans, Green, 1918.)

The beauty of numbers!

101%

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint: What Equals 100%?What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?We have all been in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER 100%. How about ACHIEVING 101%? What equals 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might helpanswer these questions:

If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

is represented as

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

If:

H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K

8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%

And:

K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E

11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%

But:

A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E

1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%

THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:

L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%

Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude willget you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

Hey !!!

Just trying my hand out in the blog world...i know i'm not going to be a frequent blogger, but occasionally for sure,just to keep my family in touch with the on goings in my life !

Why X Rayed Vision ?
well i just saw an X Ray lying next to my PC,next thing in my mind was this title !

so lets start "X Raying"

(well AP View stands for Antero-posterior view, its a type of x ray often asked for by clinicians...for them who are new to X Raying)
