A very Inspiring one -

IT AIN’T OVER TILL IT’S OVER

” The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that.”…ROCKY BALBOA



The world indeed isn't so nice place at all. Underneath the beautiful mask lies the murky realities. Whenever you dare to think or act differently there are 'crabs' at every nook and corner waiting to pull the legs down and keep you there. It is the reality that people don't like their peers moving fast forward in life. They always try to stall the progress other is trying to make, and for what? some crappy mileage in their arena!!!! Accept it or not, everyone faces it sometime or the other in life. Also sometimes in life you make mistakes, assess the situation wrongly and land yourself into trouble and the world, by its nature is on the lookout for your mistakes, spares no time in reducing you to dust and making a laughing stock out of you. The lazy buggers don't face this as this is an aspect associated with the ambitious.

So whats the point in the discussion so far ? To not act coward. To not point fingers at anybody else for your failure.Analyse why you failed and fight back with full force and hit back hard. To do this make the strategy like a lion. Learn from the lion. Whatever be the task, wait till the correct time, then thrust yourself with your full unrelenting force and do not relax till the task is completed. This has what has created the genius leaders in any walk of life. It is this sheer ambition, the journey towards the goals where people face this. The cowards die in the way, but the fighters win.

Choice is yours........

Of Indian Parents and astrology

Perhaps the most caring and most sacrificing species on the planet. They sacrifice lots in their life to bring up capable people like us. It is because of this attitude they become overprotective and tend to drive the lives of their kids. But its okay only until children are kids & teens but not beyond that If anyone has seen 25 years of his life on this planet is working in big shot companies, living alone miles away from home, I believe that person is mature enough to handle his life. Yes 25 years is not a great age to be a perfectionist, we do tend to make mistakes, but that’s what gives the learning. Well off course you cannot be repeating the mistakes of your past generation (then you are not smart enough). But at this age you need to think rationally and act rationally. We as an Indian Diaspora tend to believe a lot in luck and astrology and religion (and the list is infinite).Its okay until its faith (although I am an atheist) but it needs a watchful eye for to not cross the blurred line between faith and superstition. I am sure I would rise heckles of lots of Indians if I start a debate, but anyways that’s not a point. India is a land which is the birthplace of Bhagwad Gita which states the philosophy of Karma. This is the land which defined ‘Purushatha’ and inspired people to achieve their destiny through ‘Karma’ and not through any superstitious rituals or any gems or stones. But the irony is this is the only place on earth where the superstitions and other outdated rituals are still performed and that too in abundance. People’s psyche is defying Karma and making them run behind so called Gurus, gemstones, and a lot of other nonsense. (By the way people doing all this are making a good business out of it )
The best example of the land of ‘Karma’ in the recent times I would say is America. A barely 300 year old hamburger popping coke sipping country. They don’t have any heritage, traditions or cultural diversity as ours. Yet in the last 150 odd years they have become the most powerful nation of the planet. Most of the fortune 500 corporations are in the US. Most of the innovations and technological advancements in the last 150 years have been on the American soil. So what did this country mainly dominated by runaway migrants, slaves, farmers (by the way these demographics are of America 150 years ago) do to become the frontrunner? It is nothing more than ‘Purushartha’. They were the people who believed in Karma and didn’t run behind any spiritual gurus, gemstones or any other such stuff. Moreover generalizing this, if you pick up any of the successful people from any corner of the world (even India), apparently they have made it there through their Karma, through the use of their brains and not with the help of any gemstones or astrology.
One more interesting aspect of Indian lives where we see much of this astrological effect is ‘Marriages’ . Leave apart the bride/groom hunting. The revered panditji’s of both side sit together and do a ‘Kundalli Milaan’. And they match the characteristics and so called match is made in heaven, but if it was so why do couples fight after marriage, and why does the relationship sours with time? Any answers revered Punditji?
Well more of it in the posts to come. Signing off for now.
