Bharata Ratna-APJ Abdul Kalam is no more

I feel proud if i take his name "APJ Abdul Kalam", Mother India lost it's great son. The Missile man headed towards heaven leaving Indians alone and his mother land. Parents lost their son, students lost their guru , teacher lost his/her best student.
         
      He  never forget his mother's love,never forget his father's values, never forget his first income as a paper boy for his education and never forget his sister's sacrifices for his education . He stood by values, discipline, simplicity, humility, humanity and honesty. These qualities made him a great person.  He motivated crores of students with his valuable speeches all over the world.we haven't seen swami Vivekananda and Mahatma Gandhi but we are lucky that we have seen APJ Abdul Kalam.
           
       I hope his autobiography "Wings Of Fire" should be in academics all over the world at least all over India which can lead to inspire students and change the entire world.
                               

             RIP SIR.....  

with love,

Stampede at Rajahmundry

Hi,

      I felt very sad :( about the stampede that happened at Rajahmundry  on account of Godavari pushkar which started this morning in a grand manner. My thoughts are with friends and families of those who died due to this, may their souls rest in peace. I wanted to tell here one thing this is not only the mistake of government who failed to make proper arrangements but also the people who were there. I know in what kind of situation stampede will happen without our involvement, people start pushing each other. As per my idea it might happened due to the thinking of people who wanted to take a holy dip in godavari river as early as possible. you should give respect to the children, old people and women out there so that they can go safely and take holy bath. Government should keep separate barricades for them and allow only limited quantity of people but people might get angry due to this act but safety is more important than anything right. I started reading so many articles related to these kinds of stampedes happened at holy places and got shocked by the count who dead. 
        
            You will not get "mukthi/punya" just because of a dip in the holy water. It will come only by helping each other and with true love. I am not saying taking a bath in holy water will not give us anything. I strongly believe not only this holy both but also every act we do in  temples ,churches or mosques etc., will help to clean our inner souls and open the doors of wisdom. This will make us to go in a good path and give us knowledge to decide between good and bad. These kind of holy dips will reduce our sins that we do knowingly or unknowingly.
      
            I pray to god that this kind of stampedes never happen again. 

Heart versus Brain

      
     I always felt Heart and Brain keep on fighting with each other. For example There is a match between India and Pakistan or a good program is coming on television during our exam time. Heart will say we will avoid TV and study for tomorrow's exam but brain will say it's a IND vs PAK cricket match we can even study after the match so let's go and watch. It might be opposite in your view between Heart and Brain.

     

     I felt most of us including me follows brain every time even we know Heart is our best friend and it is always correct. In my opinion the guy who wins ones heart can win anyone heart and who listen to his own heart always successful in life. Heart will be following ethical values always looking for good things  to happen but brain will be looking for easiest things which makes you happy for only at that point of time. Heart will make you feel happy for entire life.

   

   

     For example someone has dropped a wallet on road having lot of money and his identity cards. We found it while travelling, then heart will say we will return it back to the owner anyway identification card having address but our brain says wallet has lot of money why can't we enjoy with it. we can go to movie , restaurant etc., with that money. It's your pick which one you will follow.

     Not only this you can take any example. We are following brain because we insisted to follow our brain from our childhood. For example "students will ask teacher for important questions to prepare for an exam and teacher will ask students to note down important questions. some times it is reverse, If all questions are not important then why they hell they put it in text books. We will not study the concept behind it and teachers never teach us. This is same in case of our parents also, they are expecting only marks and ranks bu not knowledge.

     Brain always wants luxurious life, comfort and easiest things to be done but Heart wants happiness,self satisfaction  and good things to be done.Hope we will listen to and follow our heart instead of brain. Then there will be no crimes in India as well as whole world. People listen to their own heart and vote for good people without taking money, politicians will not do any corruption, No murders, no rapes etc., if you listen to your heart.

       

          

First we will win ourselves then will think about rest of the world.

A story about a father

        Hi , I know that I am poor in English and try my best to make it understandable to all of you. Here is my first story regarding my close friend's father which he told me.
I also saw my friend's father very closely from my childhood. He was a simple middle class man. I am mentioning "was" because He is no more now. I want to tell you few incidents which I have observed in his life. 30 years ago He was working in a tea shop to continue his studies [currently you might be thinking about modi :), but this is true] . After that He got a job in small government office. He got married and is having three children and my friend is one among them. He joined his children in a good private school and he was working for extra time to support his family needs. One day it was my friend's birthday and he became 9 or 10 years old , His parents usually buy him new clothes and chocolates on his every birthday but this time his father didn't have money to bring him new clothes. He didn't celebrate his birthday because of this and he cried and was moody all over the day. His Father felt very bad by seeing his children like this  and while returning back to home he bought a new dress as well as chocolates for him[ He might have borrowed money from someone]. His son I mean my friend was very sad, slept without having dinner when his father arrives  home. His Father and Mother woke up their son and wear him the new dress and given him chocolates to distribute, Their son was very happy and  he wore the new dress distributed chocolates to all his family members that night. my friend told that is his unforgettable birthday. I felt this is what father's love is and thought of sharing with you.
             
         Once I and my friend thought of joining a coaching institute to get better ranks in engineering exam in 2006.So I, my friend and his father also coming with us to join both of us in a coaching institute which is in some other city. We were waiting in a bus stop for a bus, there was a seating place for passengers who waits for a bus in bus stop. I observed no one was sitting there because someone spitted there. My friend's father saw that and cleaned it with his hand and he didn't even use a piece of paper. My friend asked his father why did you clean it with your hand? His father replied "Nothing will happen to me if i clean it and wash my hands but if we left like this that will effect all". Then I and my friend felt the importance of cleanliness. I started liking him from that time and which intended me to write about him.
             

           There are many events in his father's life like this but I thought of ending it now by telling his final times of his life in 2006. He was suffering from a problem related to lungs and he never revealed this to his wife and children. He was working very hard for his family and children who were studying at that time when he left his last breath. My friend was helping his father during his last days in his office related to accounts. He was advising his father "you were not feeling well,very week and you need some rest. please put leave and will go to good  hospital for treatment" But his father was not listening to him and said "Nothing will happen to me and no need to go to doctor. I can manage and complete my work because there is an inspection from higher authorities" and one more thing is he didn't get the leave approval from his manager later. His health was becoming worse and finally he got sick leave for a week. Finally he joined in a government hospital for treatment. It will become another story if i start telling the situation of government hospitals in India as we all know. The time which my friend and his family spent was very tough during those days. 
           
           The next day he left his last breath leaving his family. He got a promotion letter the day he left this world. "God is crazy"

   This is the story of my friend's father and thought of sharing with you all.
