Stockdale Paradox...

Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties AND at the same time Confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.

Happy New Year 2017!

Be Happy!

Be Compassionate!

To My Gaurdian Angels...

I was dead
Universe knew why it happened
It sent me you
As a blessing

You gave me life force
You gave me soul
By binding
yours with mine

You taught me
To feel happy about myself
You taught me
To feel great about myself

You protected me
All the time
You taught me
to protect myself

Sometimes I had fear
About losing you
It made me afraid
To come closer to you

But you took my hand
Made me walk along with you.
And that moment
You became My Universe.

PS : Dedicating this poem to my gaurdian angels Silver, Gold and Diamond. I am grateful to them in all my births and thankful to Universe for sending them to me!!!

Kolam...

Kolam is one of the old practice of south India. Women get up early in the morning, clean the entrace, sprinkle with water and draw kolam. Kolam can be drawn by connecting dots. Non dot based kolam patterns are also there. Kolam increases the creativity of the person. Mind becomes positive when looking at the beautiful kolam. It relaxes mind. It is a good exercise as one has to sit, sat and bend when drawing kolam. Breathing early morning fresh air is also good for health.

The tamil month "Markazhi" is from Dec 14 to Jan 14. We put color kolam in this month. I enjoy putting color kolam always as colors cheer me up in the early morning along with fresh air.

This glass is full...

"This glass is full. Half water + half air = full glass" will be my answer if some one ask me whether this glass is half empty or half full. We all come to this world with pessimism and optimism as the character traits.Our view towards the world decides whether we are optimist or pessimist. We all have the choice to make ourself as the victim of the experiences in our life or the creator of them. Because experience does not happen to us, it happens through us. 

Too much of pessimism/optimism is contagious, but people run away from the ones who have too much of pessimism.  "The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails " said W.A. Ward.
 An optimist would see only unlimited potential, a pessimist might see unattainable potential. Some times the experiences in life turn us to be a pessimistic. But we can break the pattern because we are the ones who forms the pattern.

"We are what we think.

All that we are arises with our thoughts. 

With our thoughts we make the world.

Speak or act with an impure mind

And trouble will follow you.

Speak or act with a pure mind

And happiness will follow you

As your shadow, unshakable."

   --Gautama Buddha

Time...

People can hear what you are talking 

People can listen to the meaning

But I can understand you

Even though I am deaf

People can see your beauty

People can admire your looks

But I can find you

Even though I am blind

People can be loyal

People can cheat

But I can be true to you

Even though I am feelingless

Poeple say you are a hero

People say you are a villian

But I say you are infinity

People can live in past

People can live in future

But I can live with you - in present

You are time

And I am Devilish Angel

RGB Monday...

Thank you Jeevan for accepting my idea to create a chain link on RGB Monday.  I am always inspired by his colorful photos. Seeing colorful photos make my heart happy. As I dont have colorful photos taken by me now, I am posting this picture. Small drops of water make an ocean and I start my journey in RGB Monday with the picture of a water drop. This picture shows how a drop of water can show multiple colors. 

Design your destiny...

Everybody face life changing situation atleast once in their life time.It may happen when a person faces near to death  situation emotionally or physically. If that person decide to change completely, starting from zero then it is a rebirth to her/him. 

It is not easy. It is the most painful thing in the world. Our DNA, environment, assosiates, decision making capacity, thinking ability decides who we are. And reprogramming it needs strong desire, motivation and will power. It needs self observation and involves facing uncomfortable truths about ourselves. 

One should change the patterns in their life, their responses to familiar situation, their automatic reactions and their emotions. One should change their friends with whom they normally associative with, because with same friends same pattern will repeat. It is a selfish thing to do, but rebirth needs complete pattern break. It is a lengthy process but the reward has its worth. 

Most people go with life as it is because change is not easy and and the person has to be committed to make the change. Change/rebirth is completely your choice. With that you can design your own destiny. Are you bold enough to determine your destiny in near to death situation?

She was looking lovely

In her beautiful red dress

Her lips were smiling

With red lipstick

Her walk was brisk

With her red high heels

Her nails were shining

With red nail polish

She came near me

I was enchanted by her beauty

She smiled at me

I was mesmerised

She pulled me closer

And drank my red blood

Biting my neck

My last thought was

Red...Enchanting red...

She too loves red!

As she was a vampire

And I was a human.

PS : Inspired(bored) by the serial "Vampire diaries"

When we were kids/babies we had high imaginary skills which gave dreaming and visualising ability and we had belief in our dreams.We believed in magic and fairies. We were never scared of doing anything. We played a lot and it maintained body fitness. We found learning an interesting thing. We were never scared of unknown things or changes. We lost all these when we grew. As a grown up if a person can visualize his dreams, act on it, ready to make changes to achieve it, maintain a healthy mind and body, update his knowledge and have the courage to take consistent steps to achieve his goals he can be successful.

PS : This baby's smile is very lovely but it made me to write serious things :)

U r beautiful...

At last Angel agreed and said to Devil, "You are beautiful",  Everybody has devil and angel characters in their mind, but the percentage differs. And it decides whether a person is good or bad.

Sometimes devil protects the angel. 

Unsolved Mystery...

I am Devilish Angel. I am a detective. This experience happened few years back. It changed my life. That day I went to precint as usual. My partner Sherlock was late that day. Precinct was busy, they arrested a murderer and the procedures were going on fast as all the evidence points to that girl. Yes, the murderer was a pretty young girl. As I was walking towards my cabin I saw that girl. For few seconds my eyes locked with hers and at that moment I felt she was innocent. A detective's intuition. I went to meet my captain and asked whether I can talk to that girl for few minutes.

My captain looked at me with thoughtful eyes. He knew I wont stop till I know the truth. He gave me permission to enquire that girl and to visit the crime scene. The girl was shocked by the chain of events. She said when she went to the crime scene that victim was already shot and was dying. The revolver has that pretty girl's finger print. I didnt like to call Sherlock as he was always give importance to facts and laugh at the irrational things like intuition. The house was in the woods. I drove to that place slowly. I entered the house. I saw a floating white shadow in the hall. It was pointing its hand towards the bunch of dolls and disappeared. I automatically searching the dolls and found one video recording device. The whole incident was recorded in it. The victim was arranging everything to look like murder, took the revolver, shot herself wearing gloves. Then she throw the revolver and removed the gloves and inserted between books. The pretty girl entered the house, screamed and made a call to the police. The victim died with a smile in her face.

I submitted the evidence to my captain. Sherlock was waiting for me in my cabin. He was looking angry. He asked why I went there alone without calling him. I told him I was not sure whether that crime scene visit will be useful. He was looking upset. I took him for dinner and made him to eat lot of chocolate pudding(He usually make me to eat chocolate pudding when I was dull and explain how chocolates calms mind. I never believed that explanation. I thought he was finding reasons to eat it).  I woke up from my dream by the phone call from Sherlock, he was excited and was saying we got a new murder case to investigate. As we drove towards that place I saw the striking resemblance. The house looked same as I saw in my dream. I was stunned, but took control of my senses. When Sherlock was searching the house for evidence, I collected the recording device and gloves as evidence. Sherlock was bit upset by my fast approach in finding evidence and I took him to have chocolate pudding. After eating, Sherlock said I was a good partner to him. Till date I didnt understand why I saw the whole incident in my dream and why that girl killed herself and made it look like a murder.

Love...

It happened when

my problems and

his problems

became "Our problems".

It's Magic...

Magic came to me in the form of books when I was a kid. Kings,queens,fairies,dragons,witches came infront of me through books. Cindrella was my favourite. As a reader I imagined these characters when I read the stories. Childhood wont be complete without books. The joy of holding a book in hand and reading was such a joy. I wonder when I stopped believing in magic. Was it because I lost the childishness in me? Was it because of maturity?

May be one day I will write "Magic comes to us in different forms.This time I found it in the form of a person. And once again I started to believe in Magic."

It was a cloudy day
Weather was lovely
We were walking 
holding hands.

We were laughing
And teasing each other
I felt the first rain drop
in my hand.

You at once opened 
the umbrella
I saw the concern 
in your eyes.

The down pour was heavy
You embraced me
Protecting me from the rain
Both of us watched the rain.

And at that moment
Our hearts joined together
Forever.

PS : While browsing I came across this picture. It inspired me to write a poem in 10 mins.

Thodari(Train) -- Good Comedy Movie...

I saw the movie "Thodari" today. It was about the love between a pantry boy and a make up artist. The whole movie takes place in a train. This movie was advertised as "romantic thriller" and I didnt understand why. It was a "Comedy romantic thriller". This movie should have got more response from the people if it was advertised as a "comedy" movie.  All characters in the movie acted well. Dont miss the movie if you like comedy movies. Full of fun. Leave your logical brain outside the theatre and enjoy the movie. Good family entertainer...

Grudge...

You were born when I was angry
for right reasons.
I started loving you when
I saw your sweet smile.

Your eyes taught me
to be focused.
Your smile taught me
to be bold.

I became strong
when you started growing.
It was your love
Which gave me My Life.

You motivated me
When I was tired.
You never allowed me
to "Quit".

Grudge...My precious...

My Precious Rain...

I opened my eyes lazily
Hearing the splashes you made on the windows
You were dripping from the sunshade
You were trying to cheer me up

You were dancing in my garden
And making sound with your sprinkles
You were full of joy
And I stepped in to the garden

I walked towards you with wide open arms
You hummed gently in my ears
Embraced me and slided gently over my skin
And I realised we were in Love.

P.S: Dear rain lovers, plants and trees help rain through transpiration. Transpiration is the process in which aerial parts of the plant lose water as a water vapor through photosynthesis. This water is then added to the normal moisture of the air making the sir satured faster and brings rain. Save plants to bring rain.

War Zone...

In war zone each and every millisecond is important. You can not let your emotions divert you from your mission. Fear and pain is nothing but your imagination.

-- Devilish Angel

It is tough to be "The God"

People pray to feel secured. They believe God will cure their health problems, mental problems and financial problems. They feel God will take care of their miseries. This type of faith will give a free mind and help to focus better.  But they have forgotten the goal or moral of "The God". "Karma" is the main thing behind "The God" It is nothing but cause and effect. If I am "The God" to make people understand "karma" is tough. People understand "Law of motion", for every action there will be reaction. But they dont apply it in their life.

Heroes...

When watching TV, I automatically change channel when they put Ads. Movie Ads irritates as our hero has low latent inhibition with High IQ always. He can beat 100 persons in few seconds, can change n number of dresses in a song, can change others life in few minutes.

In real life a person with low latent inhibition with high IQ have the brain which is capable to open to all incoming stimuli in the surrounding environment. It results in creative genius. The person is very attuned to all the suffering around him and become a rescuer. He will be more concerned with other people's welfare than his own. 

Through out daily lives we experience an influx of emotions, sensations and sounds. If we have to consciously decide all the times what to ignore and what to pay attention to, we will quickly become over stimulated. This ability to screen things out of awareness is called latent inhibition. Now you can understand why our Heroes are like this :)

Sherlock Holmes & Mind Palace

The BBC’s Sherlock Homes played by Benedict Cumberbatch uses mnemonics known as “Mind Palace”.  Sherlock Homes used “Mind Palace” to solve crimes and it become popular among the viewers. The method of loci(Mind Palace) is a method of memory enhancement which uses visualizations with the use of spatial memory. To use “Mind Palace” visualize a complex place in which you could physically store a set of memories. Fill every room in the place with information you want to remember. Use symbols, creative ideas and mnemonics to store the information. When you need to recollect the memory, you can walk through the building in your  mind, seeing and remembering each item. This method improves memory capacity.

Changes...

You can not expect some change to happen in your life when you are inside your comfort zone. Changes happen to the people who comes out of their comfort zone. I wonder why most people draw a circle around them, and view others and wish to have life like them.

Happy Father's Day...

On this Father's day I am recollecting the things my dad has taught me. Hard work, sincerity, treating all human beings as equal and leadership quality. I still remember the incident about how I learnt to get work from others. "To make others to work properly, you should know to do that work perfectly". To make servants to work properly, I learnt to do their work perfectly. He always push me to take decisions on my own. Thank you dad, for being my friend always :) 

Let me fly with the wind...

The one who comes in my dreams,
The one who steals my sleep,
The one who teases me,
The one who stares me from far,

I don't know who he is,
I don't know where he is,
I don't know whether he is a stranger,
I don't know whether he is a known person

Some kind of spell is overcoming me,
Some strange thing is happening to me,
Some  thing blossoms in me,
Some magic happens in me

This has never happened to me before...

Hot Summer...

This summer is very hot,

I'm sweating a lot,

The sun is shining too bright,

The dark clouds are out of sight.

Hoping it will soon rain,

Only chance to excite my brain,

The lakes and ponds have dried,

The chirping birds have cried.

Show mercy on us Oh Lord!!!

Don't slash us with golden sword!!!

Every terrain...

Moments with out you gives pain
Moments with you brings rain
Your company is a ride on joy train
Your magical powers excite my brain
Come along, we will cross every terrain

Summer Evening...

Birds flying towards their nest.

Children playing outside their home.

Ladies going towards the near by temple.

Farmers coming out of the paddy field.

Distant church bell.

What a bliss!

Do U know the guitar player in me...

I have to tell you about how amazing of a guitar player I once was. Honestly. I was so good. We even had our own band at school. You know, I remember that day like the back of my hand.  I spent extra time getting dressed in to my dandy suit that evening Before, I headed out the door, I uttered a silent prayer. I said ''Lord be glorified through my music and let the words of my mouth please you''  Then my band members took their respective places, then I waltzed in to the spotlight, smiling my brightest smile and eager to get started. It was going to be a good night. I could feel it.  As we started I heard the enthusiastic roar of hundred people in the audience.  Each face seemed to be filled with warm encouragement and the crowds expectant energy literally filled the auditorium. The groove my band was laying felt great.  Then I fell of the stage. Yes, you read right. I FELL OF THE FREAKIN' STAGE! I dont know what exactly went wrong.  I think I lost my balance.

 I flipped through an aerial movement that surely would have scored atleast an 8 in any olympic competition and tumbled off the stage A part of me landed in the crowd and the other part was dangling from the stage. And then finally one of the teachers turned off the lights hoping to diminish the sight of me sprawled between the edge of the stage and my human safety net. And those kind people pushed me back up on the stage where I lay for a moment curled up in the fetal position.

And I was laying on the stage hunched up like an amradillo, then I pulled on the cord, yanking it like a fish caught on a rock. And I just lay there for another moment, lost in the darkness ready to burst both in to tears and laughter at the same time. Then I got up, although I had injured my ankle. But I think the real injury was to my pride. And although I was embarrassed, humiliated and insecure, I finished my show. That was actually the last of me playing the guitar.

PS : One of friend's experience about guitar playing in stage. Frankly I dont know how guitar look like.

What you like in Summer?

Summer fruits
Summer flowers aroma
Summer showers - The cloudy weather before the rain, the wind, the smell of the sand and the cool breeze along with rain.

Why people want to be alone?

When a person is lonely there may be lots of reasons. If the reasons are natural, like the person himself or herself has deliberately wanted to be a loner, then their perceptions and priorities of Life is different and all those people would be quite bold, very precise, know what they want and what they do not want. Nothing affects them externally and such people may not have any sentiments and will always talk and behave very practically, as a down-to-earth person. 

Now, coming to the other section of people who have become lonely due to circumstances and external factors, they all will be emotionally weak and they would always be looking for some sort of companionship to share their emotions or sentiments or problems. it do

es not mean that these kind of people will not be practical or they will not have any priorities or goals for Life. They will also be quite focussed on what they want and they will always enjoy being in a relationship with someone whom they consider to be good and genuine. If they are close to someone like this, they would feel that their confidence level is high and they will think that because of their relationship with that person, they are able to achieve lots of good things in Life and thereby their binding with that person is very strong.

Due to some reasons, if the above relationship breaks and they are forced to become a loner again, they will be very upset and perhaps they will be disturbed and disappointed. It will take sometime for them to come back to their normal and finally they will become normal and they will feel that they have gained lots of experience in Life and have learned lots of lessons too. Many times, these persons would come out of their loneliness on their own or after they find another soul mate.

LONELINESS IS TERRIBLE AND DIFFICULT TO GO THROUGH.

Infact, the Concept of IMPRISONMENT as Punishment for Criminals has emerged on the same lines, because LONELINESS is the biggest punishment that one can take and go through and that is why they are Jailed in a Cell where he or she is alone.

Instead...

When I’ll be dead

Then…

But I won’t feel

Miss me now instead…

You will wish

Thoughts...

The Human Mind has got two sides, one the conscious and the other the sub-conscious. The sub-conscious mind is active always even while we sleep and that is why even in deep sleep we will realise some small noises which occur around us.

The sub-conscious mind has a power and there are few people who are aware of this fact and it is these few who get intuition and as they practice it in the day to day life, they become experts to predict things out of their intuition. Various events in our life are also reflection of our sub-conscious thoughts of our mind and that is how we relate it. Many times on any particular event, we say, I knew it will happen like this only, I told you know, it will happen like this. 

This is the basis on which scholars say, always think positively and talk positively. We have to be aware always and recognise the presence of the sub-conscious mind and keep developing the art of talking to our own inner-self and this will translate itself to Intuition. Let all good thoughts, pleasant thoughts, positive thoughts, Thoughts which can satisfy our soul emerge in us and we can look forward to Better and Happy days ahead of us.

Love...

Love need not necessarily be between a boy and a girl or between a man and  woman, love is an emotion which emerge between human hearts and minds based on lots of understandings, flexible attitude, willingness to compromise. When love is between a man and woman, it is invariably out of an attraction based on physical appearance and beauty, between the two and sometimes it is also called infatuation. When the bonding becomes stronger, it crosses the stage of infatuation and firms up as love. Many times, before it could firm up as love, it breaks at the stage of Infatuation itself mainly because of the fact that the maturity in the individuals is missing. When it is really matured, the bonding is very strong.

Love has many dimensions and it is very difficult to narrate because too many points are there. It is the Essence and Nucleus for anything and everything. If it is missing in a person, everything else will be missing in him or her. If one has to be successful in a Job, person should love the Job, if one has to be successful in business, person has to love the business line he or she has chosen. If one wants to be in a nice family, the head of the family has to love the family and he or she should be a loveable person for others to follow their principles and nurture the spirit of love in the family.

Without love, there is no room for any pleasure. Pleasure without love would be machine like and it will not have any value and will not last long. Even without seeing each other for months or years together, one can always possess the love for each other in the heart and it is the thought which matters.

Life is to live...

Nothing is permanent in life. Everyday we get new thoughts, emotions, experiences. Most of us focus on problems, rather than about solving them. Solution is living in the moment. Because life can change within seconds.

It matters...

When we struggle in life, trying to create own identity, hurt, broken, disappointed, frustrated, a thoughtful gesture or a reassurance about life matters. Few comforting words or small act of kidness can make a difference in life.
