Education, alone can’t enlighten the people



 The Indian democracy is the largest democracy, a sovereign country of the second largest population of the world, containing diversity in her cultural, one of the oldest civilization, great legendry,  paving a wave towards being a superpower, yet still influenced with the concept of discrimination. Some regular news glimpses, which I am sure more or less everyone is aware with.

coverage 1, - in  Madurai –Tamilnadu, two married girls were not allowed to take admission in school as their marriage status will influence other students.
2-in Kolkata, A girl of 5th standard was forced to drink her own urine as a punishment for wetting her own bed. This must felt a humiliation to her  but she may't know the H of Humiliate emotion. For her it is going to be a fear which  remarked early in her life might remain in her latter days   
3- Dalit/ tribe people exclusion and their exploitation in the name of sometime untouchability or naxalism , poor excluded people do not even know their civil rights, their constitutional reservation which has been given to them for ascending them towards the main stream.
4- Indian Women representation   in both the houses of parliament, yesterday newspaper shared a data world-wide women representation of women is increasing,  india stand 98th nation.  India which has be started to seen as a next superpower ,  the women representation is still  stagnating. Empowering them constitutionally with one third In PRI institution, we sure had a given a magic stick to practice self-government but forgot to enlighten them for the implication part. There are no of cases where they had been influenced on their decision from their close family member or surrounding. When the day will come when we will start respecting our women, rather only looking them as a gender subject.
3- Muslim the second largest population representative of the country,  is still facing a closed door behavior  in the  educated, cultured society of our metro cities because they believed to be Muslim first then a citizen of democratic country. Intolerance of other religions exits in the mind and in most cases it is the result of the what people see their ancestors  practising, if one try to reason with them the answer is  “ We don’t have problem but our neighbors and relatives will not approve”
It reminds me about the apartheid which was practiced in South Africa till 1990es.  It created a legal discrimination between the white and black (ASIAN + African black), White were superior, they were understood born masters for black there was pass and permit should be there to be in their own country, they were not allowed to travelled , they were not allowed to entered white people society, can’t marry or have relations with white.  Black were Considered a second grade citizen.
Today we talk about the corruption, political restructuring, GDP, India to be next superpower, missile technology (large no rural India doesn't have a proper sanitised toilettes)
Recalling Mahatma Gandhi stayagrah for freedom, did he only pursue a dream of freedom from foreigner and self-rule? No the freedom he wanted was just not political, freedom for him is freedom for each and every citizen of India, that represent the genuine equality away from discrimination and protection of the dignity of each citizen of the country,  A political guarantee of fundamental right to every citizen of the democratic republic India

My interpretation about “Mahabharata” and its similarities in life.

Fairly a time I have not touched this core of writing. Today I was browsing few ppt. where I came across with “Mahabharata and its winning strategy”. I now truly believed that there is this law of attraction concept exists. The reason is as fallows.
When you really determine yourself to do something where you can show your own caliber you get a way. I was thinking since quite time lets me be more managing in thoughts and action to avoid reluctant thought process of cheating / anger/ pain and more significant fear. And believe me the day I really started taking small steps towards this I am finding more harmony in me. Whatever it is, but seems it is working for me. May be I have just started and there is long to go, and at the same time I know I am apparently making mistakes too in this journey.
Hmmm. let’s go back to the topic how does I relate this with my life. Well actually there is no connection. But what I realized I will summarize. In last few month or rather I say a year so, I was going through seeing various changes in life at personnel and professional.   There a kind of conflict was going on in my mind, soul. I was more puzzled and confused. Sometime blaming myself trying to accept all are my faults, and sometime punishing myself. It was very reluctant situation. I really eulogize today these phases has helped me to see things better once I was slowly commanding them.
Mahabharata is an epic about two families one is Kaurav and another is pandawa. Kauravs were stronger then pandwas . pandawas were more humiliated and weaken submissive by their nature, But very united among them.
I find this same in life – desire are more strong then the being grounded. Egos became more imperative then being able to ask for forgiveness. We all accept us always on the right side except analyzing it. Don’t you think so such as emotional intelligence, situational leadership, character and integrity were already discussed in the Mahabharata, what I am trying to relate here.
Confrontation and contradiction I had really faced enough and my conclusion if I can’t make someone to understand I let him/ her go now to assume whatever he wanted to make perception he wanted to create about me. I did this in my family with my people with those whom I had expectation quite vague it is. But some time you go misunderstood in your closed one. It is a very difficult situation it break your confidence in pieces. I am overwhelmed I had this phase as this shows me where to edit where to go. Where to ask where to stop.  It’s given me the sense of realization your family your people are your passionate possession one need to keep them subtle. At the same time you yourself your individuality is ahead of all the relation. Don’t have conflict there. Take understand the responsibly and accept the reciprocation of all what one do.
Mahabharata also had given me instinct idea about Women and their role play. I saw how Gandahri has been treated reluctant and other ladies in Kaurav sides then In the Pandaewas , where women like- Kunti ,Draupadi has been admired respected for their intelligence grace and place they hold. The order of Kunti was commandment among Pandawas. And here sometime we women humiliated ourselves our existence ( Even I Do sometime) we find it is easy to be born and live men as they have more privilege doubting on our own caliber just because we are not authorized the life without them. Why we forget it’s a union of two with same level of love maternity and may be likeness then to imposing or accepting. it is pretty possible to believe in own.
Going ahead, what I saw the role of KRISHNA – as a chariot and counselor of Arjun, who had helped him to understand him and the responsibility he owns as being a leader of Pandaw The understanding of the self is not only about understanding our physical and psychological states. It’s beyond level of worldly talk. It has made him realized about the materialism and illusion we live and face the contraction every day. We seek why things don’t go the way we plan the way we want forgetting the first call of action should be controlling on own self then to start having expectation people around us. It’s not feasible every time people closed to you act the way you want them, monitoring them handling them without having conflict and sometime with conflict which should not abrupt the life.
I guess when Arjun understood this he was able to perform better. (I wonder I am writing pages on this topic when I will be also implementing this in my life. Shall I do soon hope I do) though I am certainly in less conflict with life though there are few.  Hahaha. Krishna says, the most important part of communication is to communicate with honesty and with respect toward others. Here I try to be more honest in life with family and the people who are associated with me. Though sometime I am dishonest too, not an extent level. I try what I speak I should practice if I can’t it’s should not be in my domain. I am happy here as I have won a battle of my words where few time back I was losing. A recent experience has build up my self-reliance in myself yes I can take a stand what I had promised and I can fulfilled it, which I did, not on the cost of any tags/ reward or position call. It was me who asked to do it. Though post result I felt ignorant and reluctant then I asked myself did I make a goal to gain something. The answer was no it was apparently to stand on my call to justified myself tomorrow I had not been the robber for someone. Here I get my reward. I hope the worldly thing related to this doesn’t abrupt me much. Though it does see I am being honest. I am trying to settle them. I am trying to be submissive like pandaws Hope I do.
Some time I seek a teacher a mentor a friend like Krishna in life. Who can monitor me helped me understand the cleaves of despondent about things. And I am sure its around me may be inside me I only may be to do is Renounce arrogance and ignorance, and be open-minded towards it perhaps. There is lot to write but for now it’s time to stop.  
I will write more about it and more interpretation about Mahabharata soon.

Meeting the new Phenomenal

I walk,I walked, N thought I had walked enough,then I see some footprints which were strong and expressing them being milestone in the path.I looked back and chq mine were wiped away.Another destination, another metaphor for simplicity of those who walked enough and yet going on.Without getting effected when they will meet the destination,without judging how far they have walked.Probably they are the great people.
This is what i thought first when i meet few phenomenal people in life. I am thankful to Almighty, and the life which is giving me a chance and explore these small but metaphor experiences .

Are You Giving Your Goals Your Best Effort?





There are only two options regarding commitment. You're either IN or you're OUT. There's no such thing as life in-between.

- Pat Riley, basketball coach


Your dreams deserve better than a half-hearted effort. Meet your goals with a weak handshake and they'll soon be waving you goodbye. Since you probably don't want to look back on a life full of "almost made it" memories, it's time for total commitment.
Leave it all on the field, don't hold anything back. Is there anything more satisfying than pouring out your entire being, straddling the cliff, reaching your total limit, then looking up and realizing that oh-my-gosh-I-can't-believe-I-really-did-it?
And is there anything more tragic than failing and realizing you could have done more? If you feel "tuned out" of your current life, that's okay. Make your first goal to build a life that you can get "in"-to. Then don't look back. Make every day count and live purposefully, live energetically, live completely.

12 Reasons Why You Should Never Neglect People Skills

12 great reasons to make sure you develop exceptional people skills - the ultimate personal success resource.
1. Exceptional people skills and the ability to start a wonderful conversation with anyone you meet are essential life skills. Your success and happiness are directly related to the development of these social skills.
These skills are not optional unless you want to be excluded from what is going on in the world.
2. In an increasingly competitive world it is your skill with people that determines whether you move ahead more so than your technical ability. There is a plentiful supply of able workers but very few have great communication skills.
3. In your social life - your popularity, your acceptance by others and the extent to which you feel valued and appreciated depends on how well you express yourself.
4. The failure to connect with people leads to loneliness and an uncomfortable sense of being excluded. And too much time spent alone when you would rather be enjoying the company of like minded people.
5. Your degree of happiness is very closely tied to the quality of the relationships in your life. The more close relationships you have with people who genuinely care about you the happier you will be. And all lasting relationships depend on good communication skills.
6. Life will always have its ups and downs. The good times are even more fun when you are with people you like. And the bad days are easier to handle when you can turn to others for support and encouragement.
None of this is feasible without the ability to reach out when you need to most of all.
7. When you reach the top of success mountain will people even care? If you do it alone you may well jump over the edge! True success is a team effort. You will get ahead faster and enjoy the journey much more when you have a team of supporters, helpers and mentors on your side.
8. Making a difference for others is one of the most satisfying ways to feel like your time here is worthwhile. However, positive intentions alone are not enough. You still need to be able to get through to people if you are to really make an impact in the lives of people who need your help.
9. When you get to the end of your life, do you want titles or testimonials? Qualifications, awards and a track record of achievement are all worthwhile. Just be sure you also make a positive impression on the people you come into contact with. Otherwise do any of those successes really matter?
10. In a global marketplace job insecurity is becoming the norm. At some point you may need to change job or enter a new industry. You might even need to move to a different state. The only way to ensure a smooth transition is to develop exceptional people skills now.
11. Your happiness in life depends on how much love you feel. Consequently you owe it to yourself to have a great home life and rich friendships with a wide range of people you like and care about. To connect with people requires you to have good communication skills.
12. High income professionals understand the importance of people skills. Research demonstrates that top executives network extensively in the organization, know how to get people to support them and put time into fostering good working relationships with people of influence.
Neglect communication skills and you limit your happiness and success. And by default you give others control over your life.
The only way to be the master of your destiny is to take charge. Know what you really want and have the courage to stand up and be counted.
