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...

Happiness ?!

Happiness is something which can't be defined. It is a Feeling.  But I don't think people see it that way.  People of today have changed a lot. Their Preferences,  opinions,  Perspectives have changed. When I was a little kid, I used to run/roam around my Mom, Smiling and laughing. I din't have a reason to smile. I just had a huge smile plastered on my face and I was Happy. But as I grew up, I started to associate happiness with Things . When I set my sight on a Cool toy or a play thing, I pester my mom so much, till she obliges to buy me that. I wanted to buy that, as I thought it would make me happy. When I was a kid, I was Happy for No reason. But as I grew up, I needed reasons to be happy. During My teenage, Like everyone else of my age group,  I too had crush, Love etc on the opposite sex. I was attracted to the other person. I started to fantasize about her. I imagined myself living a life with her. I was literally mad on her . But Wh...

I Might sound a little Desperate.. But Some one out there in the midst of 100 million people, is my Soul mate .. I have staunch faith that she will enter my life and Lighten it up. She May come later in my life, But Eventually she WILL come. "  Do Check Me out At Goodreads -   https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/318164...

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...
