Japan !

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 ?

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.

बचपन

हम तोह बचपन मे भी अकेले थे ...दिल की गलियों मे खेलते थे
एक को सम्भाल्नेके वांधे .....साला सब को कैसे संभाले !!!

बचपन

खेलते थे हम सारी गलियों मे.....हर कोई था हमारा  दोस्त
लेकिन कोई देख न पाया !!

हम तो बचपन मे भी अकेले थे .....दिल की गलियों मे खेलते थे !

Akele Hum !

हम तो बचपन में भी अकेले थे .....दिल की गलियों मे खेलते थे !

Support System Wonder

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"

Ye Doori

हम आँखों  से दूर है नजरो  से नहीं !

हम ख्वाबो से दूर है खयालों से नहीं !

हम दिलसे दूर है धड़कन से नहीं !

हम आपसे दूर है आपकी यादों से नहीं !

People

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

Julia Roberts and her companions

     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.
