Some Practical Things Worth Knowing

It is something that needs to be followed upon practically.
It is something that needs to be thought of practically

But, is it something that we all do it practically?

Over the past one year, I have learnt many things in practical way in relation with relations ( How ironical) and friends.

I am putting some of them here. I am sure some of these things also apply to you

1. Mentally, the worst feeling is feeling unwanted by the one person you want -
What do you think?

2. What others think about you is not important. What you think about yourself means everything.
Your dreams are reflective of emotions in which you keep bottled up inside.
Yes.. Personally, now I am also feeling the same.

3. There comes a time when you have to stop crossing oceans for people who wouldn't even jump puddles for you.
Yes.. started doing the same now

4-When stressed by a situation(s), take a moment to think whether you will even remember this event in 5 years.
Sahi baat

5-We all make mistakes, don't act like you're better than someone else.

6- Don't trust people who change their feelings with time. Trust those who's feelings remain the same when time changes.
That can only be known when time changes... by that time, you have got a pretty good experience of those people, isnt it?

7. Some day when scientists discover the center of the universe, many people are going to be disappointed to find out it isn't them.
Yes.. funnily.. they are

8-Stop worrying about people that aren't worried about you.

9-You change for two reasons: either you learn enough that you want to or you’ve been hurt enough that you have to.
I have changed for both the reasons. heheh

10-Success is the ability to keep losing until you win.

11-Staring at the ocean for 5-10 minutes each day can help ease the mind, strengthen your immune system & relieve stress.

12-Forgive others. Not because they deserve forgiveness, but because you deserve peace.

What options do you have?

Surat Magic

I have traveled to Surat many times, but it has always been a journey of 4 hours atleast. But yesterday, I took me only 1.5 hours. I had taken a Bandra bound double decker train with my brother. He was going to visit a friend and I wanted some refreshment after a tiring week at office

Again, as I stepped out of the station, I was reminded of another funny incident that happened 4 years back.

"Bro, where are you? I am standing near the entrance gate."

"Kuldip" "Come near the Airtel Billboard advt."

" I cant see the billboard you are talking about. There is only BSNL advertisement board in front of me"

"What are you talking about dude, Cant you see that big one right in front of you?"

No, I can only see the BSNL.

The argument continued with my cousin brother for couple of 5 minutes on the phone until both of us realized that there were 2 different billboard advertisement on each side of the road, with one facing the railway station and the one facing the road. 

It was completely hilarious.

By the way this link is only an experiment for me. Don't push yourself to clicking on it

Friends or No Friends... or Just a Temporary Stranger

Temporary stranger? Yes, could not find a more appropriate word at the moment I am writing this blog

What do you call a person you connect on a personal level to? A friend I guess. A stranger you suddenly meet upon one fine day, interact with on a daily basis, connect with and then think of them as a friend. 

All goes well.. for some time.. until one fine day or as days go by.. you get a hidden feeling that the friend you are connected to is ignoring you for no reason at all. You observe, you try to talk... you get ignored once again. You try to ask.. but get unsatisfactory answers... answers that have no meaning. And a doubt comes to your mind. Did some certain person say something against me to the friend? Was it just a routine time pass to make? 

And.. the friend is only a good friend.. nothing else

 so what is the solution?

As they say.. time heals.. but time may take too much time, which may or may not be good. But the only solution is to let it go.. let it heal on its own. If something good comes out of it, it's good.. otherwise.. then also it's good. You have tasted a new lesson -about life and practicality. 

Can not write longer and more on this.. loss of words.. and ideas.

Sach...Sachin.. and me at office. Adieu to a Legend of the Game

Why sachin is loved so much by the whole country in respect to his colleagues like Ganguly or Dravid or any other great cricketer of the country? Because, he was the silent killer... who never resorted to provocation on the field or off the field.. Though Ganguly infused aggressiveness in the team taken ahead by Dhoni... Sachin silenced his critics and only concentrated on his game... and did what he was there for all this time.. enjoy his play that became his vocation of life... Also his soft speech and clean image did the trick. 

Though I must admit that his colleague Dravid received less tribute and attention than him as he was the Wall for the team in difficult times and played various roles, also of a wicket keeper when required of him.

A Lot has been said and written about him from the time he came into the cricket scene... and from past few days, tributes have been flowing in for the great man. The story about him is true that the trains would leave from the station only after he would complete his century, for I have personally witnessed it. What more was special about him that made him the favourite of all and that India has literally got emotional when he started playing his last test match?

Such was the emotion that all offices and corporate firms had kept their TV on when he reached 50 for the last time and during his last moments on the field. I had even asked my boss of my Company-LetsNurture to start the TV on, but unfortunately, the cable wire lost at the wrong time and when it was found... sach had already got out. 

I think I have got the answer, the answer lies professional integrity and commitment towards one's game. My Boss at LetsNurture always gives two words to inspire his team-Commitment and dedication. That's what set him apart from others  with his self control on provocations, ability to handle pressure of million fans and the discipline to keep on playing after more than 20 years of cricket. 

A sportsman life is limited to 15 years at the most, but Sachin kept on playing by staying fit all the time with discipline. He perfected himself early on in the game as the stories go that he would practice on the terrace of the hotel as a teenager to perfect his game and would also dream about cricket in his sleep as well.. Despite of all fame and adulations and money, has the world any time come across of any news of sachin misbehaving? 

Sachin accepted every decision of the umpires without arguing, when he was aware that he had been given out wrongly in the game. He gave a true meaning to the gentleman's game. Lots of bowlers like Shane Warne, Akhtar, McGrath and others tried to bully him but instead, he bullied them by playing in the right way he knows. He gave the importance of Time Commitment to his team members as well-something  which my company-LetsNurture also believes in and has taught me so. 

He also taught Humility by his actions. Before each series, he would go to his coach, Mr. Achrekar, who taught him the nuances of the game to take his blessings and would talk to old friends very often and never displayed arrogance anywhere. 

24 years in the international game is not a short time... plus all his other years spent in perfecting the game and matches in the Ranji Trophy. 
He came at the right time to fill up the void left by Gavaskar and leaving at the time when there is enough talent in the team. 

In the end.. Only one thing.. Thank you Sach. You made my childhood feel good.

Double Contradictions!

It is Diwali Time
Time to go home back again
Time to enjoy the rare 4 days of official leave from office.
Time to Enjoy with family and friends
Time to Relax.

Yet, as this day begins to commence on Friday, the first of November 2013, and the Dhanteras as I know, I have mixed feelings coming up inside me.

I somehow do not want to to go back to my home-Baroda for some unknown or known reasons, I am not able to comprehend. It is time to spend some time with family and they have been calling me since past 10 days, but somehow, there is a reluctance in me to go back again. Why?

Maybe, because I or we have lost the thrill of enjoying some short holidays like this one and only enjoy ourselves during the so called holiday 'weekend'? Maybe, because we have started becoming office robots or virtual robots that our mechanism does not accept plugging off for some time? Maybe because we have lost the ability to accept the unknown in our coming days?

Or Maybe because we have become accustomed to enjoy with our colleagues during the 12 hours of the day that we are together? The other side of contradiction that I have begin to notice is that there is also a hurry to reach home. Home, away from the usual chatter and noise of the everyday life and enjoy the peace and quite of our regular surroundings for some time.

We somehow make plans to do this and do that during our short vacation-whether Diwali or something else, but somehow end up doing only 40 to 50% of the work determined. We have many travel plans and hopes to enjoy with our friends and family and so want to go home quickly and soon.

Then Why this Contradiction !?

Only time can tell.

Am I the only Idiot who feels this way or some of you also feel that?

Happy Diwali by the way

My presentation of LetsNurture's Blood Monk app

 Hey guys,
Recently, just to update, I went for a company work to one of the most prestigious institution to learn advertising in Gujarat. Yes, I am talking about MICA-The Mudra Institute of communication Ahmedabad.

It was my desire to study there once up on a time , but some circumstances prevented me from studying, but it did not deter me to go there for my company-LetsNurture's android application presentation.

I went with some of my office colleagues for the 15 minute presentation, but it took about 3 hours for our turn to come and we came out of the institution at 8 30 instead of 7 15 pm. But, it was a wonderful experience for me to give a presentation with my colleague-Pratik Patel after a long long time.

The android application titled-BloodMonk is an android application that will better help people find blood donors of all blood groups pretty fast in just 3 simple steps. It will also present the last donated blood date of the donor so that the user does not waste his time in calling and asking for more information. The names and the contact numbers of the blood donors are listed as per their respective areas of Ahmedabad.

Try and see it for yourself. It can be downloaded from the Google play-store here
LetsNurture is sure going upwards this year.
Meanwhile, have a look at my presentation below. Though I am not much visible, my voice is pretty clear. Of course, I need to hone up my skills for presentations more. Here is the Video of my link.

I am at.... or he is at...or this person is at....

Does it matter?

I mean... we often see people posting status on their social media accounts like Facebook or Twitter or other social forums...that they are at a particular place... but how does that matter to anyone else or the third person in particular other than their family?

It is fine if they are really at a famous place or a popular place that they post status like " kj is at..Taj Hotel...or mahal.
ya fine... good.. but does it really matter if they are at any random place and they post that status via their smartphone?

No, I dont think so... who has the time to really mind about who is at which place...
Just a normal waste of time...

Do what is right but be pure

Hear my voice Hard it is to be born,
Hard it is to live,Harder still to hear of the way,
And hard to rise, follow, and awaken.
Yet the reaching is simple.Do what is right. Be pure.
At the end of the way is freedom.Till then, patience.
If you wound or grieve another,You have not learned detachment.
Offend in neither word nor deed.
Eat with moderation.Live in your heart.
Seek the highest consciousness.Master yourself according to the dharma.
 This is the simple teaching of the awakened.
The rain could turn to gold And still your thirst would not be slaked.
 Desire is unquenchable Or it ends in tears, even in heaven.
He who wishes to awaken Consumes his desires joyfully.

How about being swallowed by a hippo and being saved?

Yes, as the title suggest.. It is a story of a person who was swallowed by a hippo and yet survived in the end losing his colleague.

In Peter Hoffman's words:

" The hippo who tried to kill me wasn't a stranger – he and I had met before a number of times. I was 27 and owned a business taking clients down the Zambezi river near Victoria Falls. I'd been working this stretch of river for years, and the grouchy old two-ton bull had carried out the occasional half-hearted attack. I'd learned to avoid him. Hippos are territorial and I knew where he was most likely to be at any given time."

" I was aware that my legs were surrounded by water, but my top half was almost dry. I seemed to be trapped in something slimy. There was a terrible, sulphurous smell, like rotten eggs, and a tremendous pressure against my chest. My arms were trapped but I managed to free one hand and felt around – my palm passed through the wiry bristles of the hippo's snout. It was only then that I realised I was underwater, trapped up to my waist in his mouth.

I wriggled as hard as I could, and in the few seconds for which he opened his jaws, I managed to escape. I swam towards Evans, but the hippo struck again, dragging me back under the surface. I'd never heard of a hippo attacking repeatedly like this, but he clearly wanted me dead."

To read full  part of the story.. read here. It is worth a read.

When age is just a Number

Hey Guys..
How's it going?
How are you coping with the heat if you are based in India?

Last time, we had talked about one of the bravest man in Indian army who is now gone-Sam Manekshaw.

Now, how would you feel if you were in different planets of the solar system and wanted to know your age.

I have not studied Physics that much, but we all know that our age calculation differs and is different from that of earth when we are on different planets.

On this website I am going to give here, You will get your age in days and years when you are on different planets. As an example, I saw that , on present age of mine-28 years, my most old age was that on Mercury of about 119 years.
I am shown very young in my days of Jupiter and Pluto. About 15 and  0.115 years respectively.
Wow...
Check it out on this website.  You will love it.
Also, you will get an explanation down below, on why your age seems to be different. For all those science guys.. there are kepler laws listed with examples. A great website. Try it.

Someone has rightly said. Age is just a number, 

See ya Guys
Share your age..
