HAPPY NEW YEAR 2019.. A TRUE MEANING TO THE ONLINE WRITINGS OF OURS!


When the youth of today are asked like stop for a minute whenever someone sneezes before actively moving on, they no more believe there, often question like..

  • Why should I stop my works?
  • Where's it written that I should do this?
  • Who originally started this?
  • Which one had gone wrong, when not followed thus?
  • When did you see the wrong actually happening?
  • What's the origin of all this talk?
  • How can you simply say all this without any solid proof? 
Etc..etc..

And never settle with such impositions unless they are reasonably convinced..

No doubt, such a Great Enquiry Spirit with modern youth should never rest unless the same is reasonably answered and justified but few times, we equally hear around us talks like..

'I can't rest now.. My hectic running round with my works surely brings in the results and accordingly alone I plan and expand in my life!'

And

'This is my life.. I work, earn, spend, save and live all by myself as per the principles of economics. What's wrong in this approach?'

Here alone if we just ponder over the life in front at the back of the constant endless movements of ours within as well as outside of us, it'll in no time be evident that

Those movements are nothing but series of approximations and adjustments and never the straight line paths of mathematics. That being the case, it's sure wisdom to pause, see partly the reality and then alone move on steadily rather than believe blindly in our own thinking..

It means otherwise..

Not to run with that mad thrust other than the normal required / approved / expected from me on an average and thus continue doing my duties

And

Whenever forgotten and subsequently remembered, again try optimizing the speed based on priorities in front rather than my likes and dislikes..

As I live thru' my life thus, actions like sneezing etc as well as hurrying up beyond from my end would become less important to me at the back of

The discharge of duties with me alone gaining prominence with

The other man ever surfacing in the scenario as the one who is seen truly eligible to receive part of my attention well within my limits and capacities, all along

I for max time, remaining as witness for all those happenings with a new assertion within Viz.,

'No doubt, it's my life alone.. Here sure, I work, earn, spend and save but give too to remain as truly human all by myself. This alone is the right approach in my life!'

Seen in such a context, the online writing from my end as a

Reviewer, Influencer or Blogger in whatever field

Sure should continue at the back of that understanding and then alone I would be doing justice to my writing at my level as traces of my those writings/sayings forever go in the

  • Interest of that man on this earth who is no way related or known to me staying far away in the remotest corner of the earth but 
Truly eligible to receive benefit of my action!

A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 2019 TO ALL MY BLOGGER FRIENDS AND FB FRIENDS!

BEING GOOD.. WHAT'S IT LIKE?


“He was truly a man of prosperity. Worked smart, made use of every opportunity, took bold decisions and made fortunes. How I wish I followed him and ever remained 

As the shadow of that Best Entrepreneur of the Century!”

I said at the back of a great admiration towards the said departed personality.. My listeners smiled agreeing to what I said!

“Oh, truly a man of bravery at the back of an exemplary courage and mental strength. In his active days of life as I remember, how much he stood up bravely and faced the challenges of life. How I wish I followed him and ever remained 


As the shadow of that Iron Man of our times!”

I said at the back of a overwhelming appreciation towards the said departed gentleman.. My listeners nodded their heads in affirmation!

“What a learned and knowledgeable man was he! Ask him anything, it was on his finger tips the next moment. I don't know, how he could grasp so much.. How I wish I followed him and ever remained 


As the shadow of that Storehouse of Knowledge!”

I said at back of a noticeable applause for the spoken departed personality.. My listeners applauded along with me!

“He was truly the wise and the man of reference for any advice of his times. Many in their bad times were able to steer their lives in the right direction through his valuable advice.. How I wish I followed him and ever remained 


As the shadow of the Great Advisor of our times!”

I said with an all time awe clearly seen on my face towards the said departed wise man.. My listeners too expressed similar feeling!

“He was such a principled man on whom any one could bank upon without a bit of hesitation. With hard work and principled living alone, he stood as a true example of simplicity.. How I wish I followed him and ever remained 


As the shadow of that single Principled Man of Generations around us!”

I said with a feeling of high gratitude in my mind for the departed personality.. My listeners remained thankful to the best personality of the times!

“Really, a man of philanthropy! He, without a single hesitation used to help out the maximum number of people around through liberal donations. Rarely, we find such a man around us.. How I wish I followed him and ever remained 


As the shadow of that man of True Generosity!”

I said with a great respect feeling well noticed on my face for the departed man who gave away generously.. My listeners bowed down to him!

“He might not be that much famous in anything special but was truly a good man of our times. Through out his life he was helpful to every one. Whenever I had a problem, I was sure of a solution and some relief in his presence.. How I wish I followed him all along and ever remained 


In the shadow of that humble personality.. 

I lost my Best Friend!” 

I said as tears rolled down my cheeks uncontrollably, my listeners too instantly saying with an emotional outburst,

"Our Best Friend too!"

THE SUBJECTIVE MEANINGFUL TRAVEL..
AWAY FROM MOUNTAINS, SEAS AND JUNGLES!


"Let's go this Sunday, to this

CALM SLEEPING TOWN

2 hrs drive from our place and spend our holiday off from the routine. It's long time we visited this town. It has its own beauty and uniqueness and I'm sure you'll love this trip. Okay?"

I said thus and readied my family for the visit..

We started the early morning at 6 and moved in the direction of the

BEAUTIFUL PLACE OF OUR HEARTS..

On the way invariably a few stops were made with each stop carrying it's own freshness and importance, got refreshed and with those renewed energies continued our journey further..

"A close friend of mine stays in this town. He is from this place and totally lived in this environment almost for his lifetime. We'll surprise him by making a visit to his place just to say 'Hai!' It sure looks more funny and I'm sure he'll be very happy to receive us thus. Okay?"

I briefed my family..




Soon we were into the premises of our 

DREAM TOWN,
  • Visited the important sightseeing places, 
  • Stopped at our favorite restaurant for lunch, 
  • Had the ever loved tea on the road side restaurant 
  • Covered a lot of coolness and serenity 
And that way the day was truly felt great in the end by me and the family..

At 5 pm, I called on my friend at his residence but to our surprise the house was found locked. We were clueless on that for a while but soon firmed up that they might have gone out on some work..

The time was 6 PM..

"It's time to return. By the time we reach home with a stop over at our favorite coffee shop on the way, it'll be almost 9 pm!"

I said and the family agreed..

The return journey started thus and continued and in one hr's time we were at our favorite coffee shop..

As we entered the cafe and were about to seat ourselves comfortably in corner, a familiar voice was heard from the other corner..

'Yes.. It's my friend's voice.. What a surprise.. He is here with his family. I couldn't surprise him at his place but it's great I'm meeting him here!'

With great excitement, I moved on to the place saying aloud,

"Hello.. Dear! How are you? Surprise to see you here?"

The friend too instantly taken over by surprise, greeted me aloud with a firm hand shake saying,

"Hello, dear! What a surprise? How come you are here?"

Soon the families greeted each other and I said,

"Dear! We had a holiday trip to your town. Let me tell you.. It's a great visit for us and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip..

Sorry, Yaar! I wanted to surprise you by knocking on your door. I made a visit, but could see only your locked doors. Where have you gone? How come you are here now?"

"Yaar! It's long time we have visited your city. My family was very much after that I said,

'Let's go this Sunday, to this

BUSY CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS

2 hrs drive from our place and spend our holiday off from the routine. It's long back we visited this city. It has its own beauty and uniqueness and I'm sure you'll love this trip. Okay?'

I said thus and readied my family for the visit..

We started the early morning at 6 and moved in the direction of the

BEAUTIFUL PLACE OF OUR HEARTS..

On the way invariably a few stops were made with each stop carrying it's own freshness and importance, got refreshed and with those renewed energies continued our journey further..

'A close friend of mine stays in this town. He may not be from this place but totally lived in this environment almost for his lifetime. We'll surprise him by making a visit to his place just to say 'Hai!' It sure looks more funny and I'm sure he'll be very happy to receive us thus. Okay?"

I briefed my family..

Accordingly, I made a visit, but could see only your locked doors. So you were at my place!"

"That's nice of you.. By the way, how was your day?"




"Yaar! We were into the premises of our 

DREAM CITY,
  • Visited the important sightseeing places, 
  • Stopped at our favorite restaurant for lunch, 
  • Had the ever loved tea on the road side restaurant 
  • Covered a lot of hustle and bustle
And that way the day was truly felt great in the end by me and the family..

It was time to return, on the way we wanted to drop in at our favorite coffee shop and relax and it's great we met you people here!"

SURE, THE TASTE OF PUDDING IS IN EATING!

The little boy 7+ staying abroad was of too questioning type and demanding.. That summer, he was  at his grandparents home in his school vacation along with his mom..

The mom totally planned for her boy's activities during the stay of one month at her native place and accordingly she got him joined to certain special activity of learning for one month which on an average used to take about 2 hrs per day during weekdays at the nearby Center for Kids..

Whatever the mom decides, it's ever good for the child, so to say that alone is good for the little one. So the grandpa straight away started implementing that program a 100% but in a softer way as 

The little boy was much against going for extra learning saying that it was his holiday time and they were teaching more than that taught in his school!

Everyday, the grandpa used to give his grandson a special incentive if he attended the extra learning class and learned the required..

  • "Today, I'll take you after your class to the exhibition at......."
  • "You go to your class now and after the class, I'll buy for you...."
  • "As soon as your class get's over, we are going out to the new place........"
  • "Today evening, I'll take you to the park at......."
  • "There's a big Toy Shop in our area. There you get your favorite games and ......."
That way pulling on, one month appeared to be too long and beyond, it was a problem for the grandpa to see that the child was motivated daily on weekdays as many options soon ran out except left to repeating the earlier ones..

That day morning as usual the grandpa was thinking how to motivate the child, a call came from the Learning Centre that the day's class was cancelled because of a never thought specific holiday..

He was about to announce that to the child but decided to amuse the little one a little more. The family was informed of the same but they were told not to talk on that to the boy immediately..

Later, it was a surprise for the boy that his mom never talked of going to his class for the day and further not asked him get ready in that context.  When the boy came to play with his grandpa, the gentleman told his boy whispering to him close,

"Dear!  Your mom seem to have forgotten about your class. We'll just keep quiet for the present and you will do your painting in that time with your paints and writing materials I purchased for you.. Okay?"

The boy instantly got excited beyond and whispered back in his grandpa's ears with a mischievous smile..

"Yes, grandpa.. Don't tell mommy at any time. She forgot asking me do my homework and become ready. We'll keep quiet. She is not asking for it. I'll paint now with my water colors and sketch pens!"

Soon the boy totally got into a joyful mood, brought all his writing and coloring materials, painting books etc., spread on the floor from one end to the other end of the room and started painting with a great zeal and fully involved feeling..

The grandpa smiled within, decided not to spoil the mood of the child by telling the

Not Required Truth of the Moment 

And thus equally actively joined the boy in his activities..

Thus moved on their time in front with every half hr the little one with his cute smile whispering to his grandpa how his mom and grandma forgot asking him go to his class and the 

The Great Painting Session 

Going on endlessly for 2 hrs..

As the child's best was involved in the activity, the result no doubt was 

A MASTERPIECE 

Of the boy's level and there, the

Keen Interest, 
Dedication,
Effort, 
Enthusiasm and 
Love for the Art 

In front at that moment brought the best out of the boy proving forever that..

The taste of pudding is sure in eating alone

As one sees the painting of the boy!

STORY WRITING.. WHAT'S IT LIKE?


The Great Philosopher cum Saint wished to tell about His Perceptions of Life to few people around 'As Is'..

He approached the knowledgeable, the ruler, the man in business and the workman in that context..

The knowledgeable said, "I'm the storehouse of knowledge.. 


Why not you listen to what I say?"

The ruler said, "I hold power in all matters.. 

Why not you praise me as great?"

The man in business said, "I do the best business in my field..

Why not you tell me something that makes my business still better?"

The workman said, "I'm tired beyond with my work and there's no energy to listen to anything.. 

Why not you leave me for a while?"

The Great Saint said to Himself, "None wants this knowledge.. 

Let my Perceptions get digested within me alone!"

Seen thus, telling or writing something which is acceptable to many becomes more fiction with traces of reality in between because truth 'As Is' is never palatable for an ordinary mortal a 100%..

Taking this factor into account, a writer should write to the requirement of the world making his/her writing highly interesting ultimately streamlining the thoughts of his/her readers towards glimpses of truth that do good the world..

Considering such a requirement of world alone, the Great Saint Veda Vyasa wrote the Great Epic Story of Mahabharata depicting therein at every stage.. 

A particular goodness that can accrue to world by following certain discipline in life simultaneously bringing out the damage that can come by breaking such rules and embracing a callous attitude!

That Sacred Book of ours sure becomes one of the Original Story Writing Materials along by the side other similar Great Books written by Great Authors of contemporary times..

Thus seen, story writing is an art with me and that art is ever specific to me based on mainly 3 parameters..

My own level of perception of Truth,

My past experiences of life 


And

My ambition or thrust in me to express myself at the moment!

The Absolute Truth is unknown to me at this point of time and what is known to me at the moment is a Spec of that Original Reality alone..

Thru' that understanding alone, I'd like to speak out but the experiences of my life in the past will influence me therein

The pleasant ones most of the times making me project life in future as optimistic and a few times saying sarcastically

And

The unpleasant ones most of the times making me project life with caution and a few times saying with an imagination

Whatever, my story writing for ever is a combination of these 3 aspects of my life and it's ever a sacred duty with me to live my life at that level only

Forever limiting my story writing within the limits as per the law of the land!

The Great Saint too, when wished to embrace spirituality was advised by His Master to live mundane life to full and then alone embrace the Sainthood..

He accordingly took birth in royal family, lived a full life of king discharging all the related duties and then alone became the Saint!


Seen in that context, 

The life in front of me is sacred in it's way, 
The duties assigned to me as human being on the earth sure have to be discharged by me to the core,
I should learn a lot in the process about the good and bad of life 

And finally if done thus,

Those experiences of my living together with certain fiction added therein to keep up a grip in my story writing alone would bring out good stories from my end

If I am a true story writer!

SERIOUSLY SPEAKING.. I'M A BLOGGER TOO!


During a session of teaching archery, as Master Dronoacharya asked the Pandava prince Arjuna who subsequently became the famous archer of the times what he was seeing in front, Arjuna said that 
  • He was seeing the eye of the target alone! 
When the famous Sculptor was asked on how he felt about his work, he burst out with an awe seen on his face saying that
  • He was freeing the angel imprisoned in the stone! 
A visitor who entered an Art Gallery and saw the painting of the famous Artist depicting a lady facing the early morning sun with her hand above her forehead to avoid the glare of the sun instantly
  • Placed his hand above his forehead!
As the wife of the famous Scientist advised him on a day to stop the monotonous job of going to his lab for a day but do what he liked, he promised to do so and the next day in the early morning hrs
  • Straight went to his lab!
The famous Devotee cum Poet when asked by the King to write praising poetry on him describing him as the highest for money proclaimed,
  • "I see the Almighty alone truly the Highest!" 
When the Great Saint was warned by the authorities on Scriptures from speaking out openly on what was taught to Him,
  • He came out and declared to the world that known to Him!
When the disciple asked the Master whether He had seen God, the Master to boost his confidence a 100% said with all firmness,
  • "I have! If you want, I can show to you too!"
These are few examples of assertions and actions of the Greatest Personalities of the world but in our life in other areas too we constantly see around many men and women incessantly working in their own areas like,

A mother charged with an abundance of love towards her child constantly protecting, safe guarding, bringing up the personality in the right direction and finally making a fully grown up individual to perfection thereby

  • Giving a true meaning to the artistic expression of hers that makes one perfect with the Sacred Task in front!
A Patriot charged with the overflowing emotion to the motherland trying to
  • Free Her from the chains of barbarism and establish the original freedom expression around ever ready to take all the punishment meted out in the process with a smile!

A Statesman sacrificing many of own works day and night, educating the country men on their rights thus
  • Bringing a revolution in the world with permanent change taking place!
Thus seen, it's a fact in our life that each person comes into this world with an aim of doing something original to him/her in Nature and that alone remains his/her aim for a lifetime..

As the individual grows up, this original trait basically guides him/her most of the times and tries to make the person the best in that field..

No doubt, many hurdles and obstacles will be coming up in the process but having dreamt of his/her goal at heart strongly, such an individual gets an unknown energy within to overcome all those and expresses the way he/she wishes but never leaves the attempt..

Here, the person is part of Nature or so to say the Nature and the individual are originally One. The Nature gets Its Sacred Works done through those expressions around which actions maintain the eternal balance of vigor and vibrancy required in life in general..

That way seen Serious Blogging too is nothing but that Original Expression in Nature, It sure has it's own purpose in our lives, that Spirit of Expression never takes a step back when threatened or lured but pours out the heart as is and

  • Every Blogger is a part of this Sacred Task!
The gradations are a fact here and accordingly alone as a Blogger, I would be negotiating with my worldly offers/gains and would be settling at my own level of give and take policy as
  • My bondage to the mundane life is a fact today!
Thus goes the unending blogging around us whether it is written for a Contest Post or for an IndiSpire Prompt may be the numbers vary and the contents get edited to suit but
  • That's the only life known to me at this moment and I should sure do justice to it 100% till more clarity comes thru' the Grace of God!
Thru' Verse 35, Chapter III of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita too Lord Krishna iterates that message saying..

'Shreyan swadharmo vigunah paradharmaat swanusshthitaat
Swadharme nidhanam shreyah paradharmo bhayaavahah.'


Meaning..

'Ever safe is one’s own duty than the duty of another even well discharged. Better is even death in one’s own duty than the duty of another full of fear!'

The Post is written in line with this week's IndiSpire Prompt Ten or less entries for Indispire topics BUT hundreds for a contest... what does this reflect about the state of blogging in India? #BloggingTruth
