  Today, I thought of taking break from normal routine of Sunday and do something for self. Then thought of why not to go on a drive … in minutes plan was ready. I and one of my friends, we were on road and took my 9 years old Mahindra Verito (I love to drive this vehicle) for a short trip to Yeoor hills (about 30 kms) Yeoor hills used to be one of my favorite travel destinations along with my family and friends when I had recently moved to Mumbai due to calm ambiance and peaceful environment. Loads of memories. Now, it has become crowded but I still liked the visit to this place. Last time, I visited this place was about 3 years ago. After spending sometime in hills. We went to Exotica restaurant as usual, to have our lunch. Surprised see same same security guard, some other staff still working at the restaurant and a warm welcome received! A great lunch starting with a nice lemon coriander soup and to end with my favourite dessert - sizzling brownie. While waiting for lunch to be...

  Happiness will be automatically be there with you once you realise what you have and you understand what could happen to you in case you loose what you have. Human desire is unlimited and one will not get everything that she/he desires. When desire more than you need then it becomes the cause of sorrow. Let me give an example as child we aspire for bicycle, as a young adult we aspire for bike or scooter, as young with some job we aspire for a car and as move ahead in career this desire gets expanded to which brand and model of car - Merc, BMW, Audi and so on ... See desire never ends, we need to limit our desire along with goals of life. Desires lead to 'greed'. Greed helps you with material things around you further leading to fake happiness. However, greed takes away everything from you when it is the time for giving back. Of course when you posses so many material things that you desired to have and you have now, leads to arrogance. Greed and arrogance are deadly combinati...

Did you receive a feedback that you have temperamental issues? And if you are feeling guilty about it, there is a good news for you. Anger is just an emotion like love, fear, happiness… Anger is one of biggest enemy for one self. Your actions and decisions taken by you when you are angry is always detrimental. Anger can be triggered due to many reasons like you are asked to do something, which you don’t want to do, you just don’t like someone, misunderstanding, work pressure, family pressure and so on … Anger has no face but it is a feeling that you have. Anger may be a reaction single or multiple actions over a period of time. Anger (“Krodh”) is one of the five big enemies of human. The actions taken under the influence of anger always lead repentance. At times, due to anger, people will put you on wrong side even if you are talking sensible. Other side effects of anger are stress and anxiety, which has long term effects. Anger Management (easy to preach but difficult to practice): - ...

1. People don’t want go out of their homes for right reasons. Employees are hesitant to attend office. Students are hesitant to go to school. They are saying that they will attend school selectively because my friends are not attending school. In last 18-19 months, things have changed so drastically. I am seeing people going on vacations but don’t want send their children to schools. Employees are citing various challenges why not to attend office rather thinking of solutions how to attend office. In case current operating model is fully effective why did we have these offices, schools since ages. Counter argument that we learnt it during pandemic - very nice! Just imagine if health care service providers, law enforcement agencies, soldiers choose to attend work whenever they feel to do so then what will be impact on all of us. It is not any more - stay home, stay safe but stay home, stay lethargic. 2. Effectiveness of online calls is questionable. It was fine when it was needed. Now s...

Recently when I was sick, I could really understand the meaning of 'health is wealth'. One does not at least I could not realise seriously why it is important to take care of health. I have never been so frightened about health before I spent my Diwali night in a hospital. Probably, first Diwali when I was not with my children.  There will be sympathy for you (some are genuine) though very short term. I realised to put the health first, family first. This time my parents were with me during Diwali as they generally stay in my home town. Oh God! I missed the really precious moments spending time with my parents - a rare occasion, which I am going to miss for a very long time. While in hospital, I was thinking of my work but soon I realised someone will replace me at work but the family is going to miss me if something untoward happens. It is an art how one withdraws from work during family time. What I do for living one thing but what I do to live another thing but more importan...

I never like one day break after weekend - then series of work to be done. I always felt it breaks flow of life and work. Always, it gets wasted in different activities, which you never wanted to do! Moreover, the day in between is least productive. Now that the dusk has arrived, thought to write about the day. What a great day? I have done too many unproductive activities like fixing the water filter, buying a cabinet for unnecessary items purchased by me and so on... One thing that I did today which I always like is nurturing of my plants. Now actually too many for a balcony garden but greed here is accepted. I interacted with few people today and everyone is in hurry. No one wants to waits and so do I! Why should I be different from others. The society will not accept you if you are different from others. While wondering, few thoughts that came to my mind: Greed kills. Arrogance destroys. Anger humiliates. Be humble - keep contributing to the society. Subha Vijaya! #tosangy

Karma and Samay are two side of the same coin. You will get return of your Karma in this life hence Samay is complimentary to Karma. Karma is what you do - good or bad! Samay helps to give it back to you as your Karma defines your destiny. We as human being with superior intelligence should ensure to give back to the society. This should be our Karma. However, it this materialistic world, we became selfish and we forget the purpose of life. Please remind yourself when you have helped someone without any expectations.  I have seen people rise and fall due to their Karma. Karma is binary and hence either you have done good or bad. There is no middle path.  Lord Krishna explains to Ajuna the theory of Karmas. He said believe in yourself and do your Karma (action) and success will follow you automatically. Doing Karma is in our hands only, Result is not in our hands. Below given is meaning of famous Shloka from Bhagavad Gita. Karmanye vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana । Ma Karmap...
