People Watching! - Surprises :)

Since my childhood i was so fascinated about social work. I used to help my mother to write reports and take pictures of special children for sponsorship. I always smiled to see others smile, enjoyed playing with them. For almost 35 years she was a social worker but she was not a founder of an organisation but was part of a mission institution. There was no drastic economic development as she had to get the same amount of salary she received till her retirement. After my mother i too studied social work, over the period, after my graduation I was able to meet many NGOs (Non-Government Organisation -charity), volunteer for them, and when i do so it was unpaid. Most of the times i realized that most of the charity here done for free lacks quality or competency. As I got the opportunity to work and meet many founders of NGOs i was quite surprised and questions started within me . Few thoughts that poured in was; 1. As many NGOs have come, there is duplication in addressing the issues...

Long walking, seeing the green, living in a well engineered hut for the cold right on the top of a hill, a view down will feed your mind with the greatness of peace and happiness... This was the hut in which i had spent sometime. It is built with leaves and dry wood.... i was volunteering in a tribal school in which i had the opportunity to teach English and take all the kids to school. The had count of the school stood 25, the school had no doors or walls but  roof and mud floor coated with cow dung to make it even. This hut still has the design in me, it is rested in four stick and over it there is a dry leaf bed is put. The roof is in design of a egg cut vertically and it is placed in a way that the front part of it is placed with taller wood than the back. then the space to sleep is made in a way that there is equal gap in the front as well as in the back. It is so cold in the winter and to avoid it there is a very thick wood which can provide smoke all night. It is plac...

Perceptions - "understanding of a person based on certain circumstances, most of the framed ones are not consistent and has a huge probability to vary.So, it is better to keep the perceptions instead of influencing others towards our own personally built opinions" One of the recent insights from my own experiences paved way for this kind of discussion, should i share my perception about a person to another? Of late i understood that it is of huge danger to share a perception if it is negative in nature. If it is going be positive it is well and good. If it is a negative version it is going to make a huge dent in the amount of positive opinion about that person one has. It is good to learn and understand that perceptions are mere personal and it is to make us understand about a person under specific circumstances. These perceptions can never be consistent as things tend to vary. Perceptions are for us as a person and it depends on how we share it, as people sometimes tend...

Aristotle and his philosophy has always inspired me, be it the organisation of science or about friends; he has always been able to strike some mutual chord of thinking .... As i was reading there were few saying on Aristotle's Ideal Man. I keep reading it again and again and made sure i will be able to mention each and every word when i tell to people about these lines.... "He does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently; but he is willing, in great crisis, to give even his life,-knowing that under certain conditions it is not worth while to live. He is of disposition to do men service, though he is ashamed to have a service done to him. To confer kindness it is a act of superiority, to receive one is an act of subordination..... He does not take part in public displays.. He is open in his dislikes and preferences, he talks and acts frankly, because for his contempt for men and things... He is never fired with ad...

Failure is the most beautiful experience which actually is the best learning tool for success. To support this one of the most loved proverb of mine on failure goes like this " Failure is a classroom where Success is only taught". Failures; why does a man have more number of failures than success? why is it that many are demotivated and a very few who find their place in the history are motivated by devastating failures? Unless we learn from the experience of failure it of complete waste to have experienced one. One should carefully understand that failures is the most painful experience that pins a mark but by doing so it should not stop you from moving on. As for the words by Martin Luther King Jr. If you cant fly;run, If you cant run;walk, if you cant walk,crawl, but make sure you keep moving on. Failures sometimes makes us to crawl but its for sure that it will make you fly when you realize and learn from it the most you can. Never stop because of failure; try it...

“Deep Faith Highest Confidence  Achieving Vision Poor Centered Life"  -Anonymous My job requires loads of reading, while on a routine scanning i came across a vision statement of an charity organisation reading as mentioned above. It was so striking to me and it also made a huge sense of meaning to be implemented. Deep Faith-probable i shall call it as being the positive. Faith believes without seeing, as many say. This teaches me to have a deep faith no matter what the future holds on. I shall still have faith and run with hope. One day or the other i will achieve and taste the fruit of success. That is the reason why many taste failures most of the time and success at rare occasions. Highest Confidence- This never means over confident, it clearly says that we should have a profound level of confidence and make sure we don'd exceed the highest level and jump to the over level. To achieve anything in life we need confidence but make sure we don't get is OVER after ...

Seeing these school kids cross the road was quite amazing, some kind of a random smile. Evening 4 o clock on a highway in the middle of a village down south as we were traveling, a view ahead 70 mts, popped in the road with the hands stretched saying stop. He was a small boy probably 4th STD (9yrs), bag bigger than him, his shorts dropping down and with no slippers crossing the road and  to my surprise there followed 7 to 8 girls like caterpillar, followed by yet another boy of the same age and same description with the same hand signal till the group crossed the road. I don't know why these small boys took the lead even though the girls were way above their age, was astonished by the way these small kids took responsibility in respecting woman - hoping to see a better society tomorrow by seeing these kids in action - on the International Women's day 2013
