Precept 1

The Precept for the Day:- We carry within us, the wonders we seek around us My thoughts: Isn't it strange? We humans are always in constant pursuit of one thing or the other. we are always in need of something. I have come across people who often say , " I cant find happiness anywhere", "I don't think i have the capacity/ability to do this work" etc. Those people, little do they realize that they already have what they need, in themselves. We often compare ourselves with the successful people and sulk about the inability of us to be like them. My question is, Why do we think like that? What makes us think like that? In what way are we inferior to them? Did they land from outer space galaxies or did they just pop out of nowhere in earth? We all have been blessed with the same abilities despite the physical differences. It's not that the successful people are blessed with a much powerful brain. The only difference is that, the successful people know...

Just Another Post #1

Just Another Post #1 Just Another Post #1 Lately, I have been reading a lot of books.No,Not the College books..But,story books ! Call me a bookworm, I don't care,for i just love to read books. I don't read books of a particular genre. I read random books. Say fiction,Literature,Humor, etc. You know bloggie, sometimes I regret wasting so much of time in the past. I whiled away the precious time by spending it on wrong persons, un-necessary things and activities. I wish I could go back to the past via a time machine and punch myself so hard that I gain a little bit of sense. But people used to say right, "Everything Happens for a reason". I'm also thankful to god that atleast now i got my Mind,Body and Soul under control and in Harmony with each other. Bloggie, Do you have any idea about the number of books that I had read during the past six or seven months ?? I don't think you would even have a faintest idea about that, cause you never knew that i had...

Saving Money Tip 1 - Books

Money Saved is Money Earned  The entire day i had Mood-Swings. I was pretty pissed about myself. I tired reading books,But failed miserably. I was able to read only 50 pages. I slept for a while, yet i was not in my usual self.  My mom, who was seeing me upset, pestered me to go out with her as it would make me feel better.  Since i had nothing much to in house, i accompanied her. We first went to Odyssey.  I headed for the book section, while my mom was window shopping in the cosmetics section. I skimmed through the Book shelves hoping that i could find any books by Indian Authors. I was able to find only Chetan Bhagat and very few books of Durjoy Dutta. I went to the Recently Arrived Section. I found a couple of books which seemed as if they arrived right from the Printing press. Simply i got hold of a random book and saw the price. It was 499 /- rs . I was shell shocked. That was way too much for a book. I found that almost all books in the shop we...

New Found Love - Books

I serious dunt have any idea of what happened to me . Suddenly i developed interest in reading BOOK's ! A lot of interest ! From a guy who spent almost all his time Sleeping and Watching Movies , I have suddenly turned into a geeky nerdy guy overnight! I wont be surprised if some witch cast a spell on me. Because the only books which i have ever touched in life was my college text books.(Note that i mentioned 'Touch' not 'read' :P ) . I seriously never imagined myself hungry for reading books. Recently, I enrolled myself in a Library near my house. I borrowed a couple of random books by indian authors and i started reading them. To be honest, after reading the first few pages, I started to doubt my confidence. I doubted whether i would really stick to the book and finish it or just forget about it like i always would. But by the grace of Mother of Books  , I started finishing off the books at one go. When i approach the final few pages, i get over excited and st...
