| Prompt "It isn't what we say or think that defines us but what we do. " Jane Austen Write about this in your Blog entry today. From the above prompt I am here highlighting a common phenomenon where people often prioritize their own interests over the needs of others and that defines us. Instead of genuinely offering value, they disguise their needs and requirements as offerings, hoping to receive something or favours in return. The Universal Principle: "Givers Gain" As, the universal principle of *"Givers Gain"* suggests that when we give without expectations, we ultimately receive more in return. This principle is rooted in the idea that giving is a form of planting seeds, which will eventually bear more than one fruit. The Power of Selfless Giving When we give without expectations, we: 1. Build Trust: By showing that we're willing to give without expecting anything in return, we by default settings build trust with others. (Chances of these seeds sowing is you would likely get faster what you need is high, provided you don't expect from the...) 2. Create value: Selfless giving creates value for others, which can and will lead to meaningful relationships and OPPORTUNITIES. (Opposite to value creation is when giving is poisoned with ego "I give" I; me & myself eg. Even in " 'I' love you" if I is prominent it's a vulgar display of integrity & character then love.) 3. Cultivate abundance: Giving without expectations can lead to an abundance mindset, where we focus on the value we CAN PROVIDE rather than what we can gain. Planting Seeds of Kindness As eloquently put , "giving is the seeds we plant." When we give selflessly, we're planting seeds of kindness, compassion, and generosity. These seeds will eventually grow into strong, meaningful relationships and a sense of fulfillment. WHENEVER you give WITH expectations or implied FAVOURS OR returns and you don't get the EXPECTED returns or favour from "the same person", you feel miserable, cheated and used. May THESE words inspire us to adopt a Mindset of selfless giving, planting seeds of kindness and compassion that will bear fruit for years to come as so eloquently written by Jane Austen. |
| Prompt: Memories "Take care of all your memories. For you cannot relive them." Bob Dylan What are your thoughts and feelings on memories? Would we be better off with or without them? And which kinds of memories are dear to you? The recent memory and experience of Mahakumbh at Prayagraj, the event that happens in 144 years, will be always my best memories. I have tried to give facts and figures and also my memories This Kumbh Mela is the first in the world in terms of population, preparation, technology and spirituality. You should know how Uttar Pradesh and its Yogi Maharaj are shocking the world. And in Kerala, where even a single Sabarimala season cannot be held without complaints, 10 KSRTC buses cannot be run without people's concerns, and Kerala cannot even protect the sacred Pampa River of Sabarimala without dirt and garbage, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath should be understood as a saint who should go to tuition with a notebook. We, Sanatani Hindus, should not forget that the Kerala government has not been able to provide a little water and food to those who queue for hours at Sabarimala or provide them with proper toilet facilities after counting the money of Ayyappa devotees. What we can see in Prayagraj is an organization that even the world's leading premier institutes fail in management. Yogi has prepared wonders under Modi. 🔱 It is estimated that 45 crore(450 million) pilgrims will arrive in the Mahakumbh Mela, which will last for a month and a half from Makara Sankram to Shivaratri. Yogi says that there are facilities for 100 crore people. If we say 45 crore, it is more than the total population of 204 countries in the world excluding India and China. So many people will travel to and from this city in 45 days. Think about it. How many trains, how many planes, how many buses, how many roads, bus stations, railway stations, national highways, government and private buses. What arrangements have been made silently. 🔱 As part of this Kumbh Mela, about 4 lakh crore rupees(50 billion dollars) will be contributed to the GDP of Prayagraj and UP. Four lakh crore rupees. That is, one-third of the total GDP of Kerala will be brought through Yogi Kumbh Mela in just 45 days. About 50 billion dollars... It will reach the common man in the economy of Uttar Pradesh as development, employment and welfare schemes. Money is being taken by giving them the best facilities in the world without squeezing the devotees. 🔱 This is a digital Mahakumbh Mela - Uttar Pradesh is showing the world the model of tomorrow by digitalizing devotion with technology and spirituality. The world's largest AI Security Command and Control System will probably be at the Mahakumbh Mela. Yogi has set up the world's largest AI Aided Lost & Found center at the Mahakumbh Mela. The world's largest AI Traffic & Crowd Control System will control the crowd and vehicles at the Mahakumbh Mela. The parking lots of vehicles are arranged for 10 lakh vehicles. That too is updated digitally. 🔱 The wonders of the Kumbh Mela land of 40 square kilometers (4000 hectares) do not end there. 1.5 lakh tents, 1.5 lakh toilets, 25000 waste collection tanks, 15,000 sanitation workers, 160 waste collection vehicles, 69,000 LED lights, 30 temporary bridges, 50000 police-paramilitary forces, 3000 CCTV cameras .... Security systems worth Rs 13000 crore just to prevent fires, 351 fire engines, More than fifty fire force stations, more than two thousand fire force personnel, drones used underwater and in the air. Yogi Adityanath is not an elite class who studied at top management institutes. Yogi is the practical management stalwart who blossomed in his 20s with the institutions under the Gorakhnath Math, which his guru entrusted to him. Yogi Maharaj of Uttar Pradesh. Tomorrow maybe of India too. 🙏 |
When we suppress our emotions, we deny a vital part of our humanity. These feelings—whether we perceive them as light or shadow, love or fear—are reflections of our inner world. They are neither enemies to defeat nor burdens to avoid; they are messengers, guiding us toward deeper truths about ourselves. From a personal perspective, I’ve learned that it’s essential to feel these emotions fully, even when they are painful or uncomfortable. Suppression may seem like a quick fix, but it often allows these emotions to fester beneath the surface, growing stronger and more disruptive. Instead, when I acknowledge my emotions, I see them for what they truly are—parts of myself longing to be understood. Imagine your emotions as visitors knocking at the door of your mind. You can ignore them, hoping they go away, but they’ll only pound louder. Or you can invite them in, listen to what they have to say, and decide how to respond. In this process, you reclaim your power. You are no longer controlled by your emotions, but you also don’t dismiss their importance. This is where true mastery lies: in feeling your emotions without being ruled by them. Acknowledging fear, anger, or sadness doesn’t make you weak—it makes you honest. By facing these "demons" head-on, you strip them of their power. They no longer control your thoughts or dictate your actions. Instead, you integrate them into the tapestry of your being, allowing them to inform your growth without derailing your peace. When we learn to control our mind and emotions, we step into a space of transcendent clarity. We respond rather than react. We lead our lives with intention rather than being led by fleeting impulses. This is not a denial of feeling—it is the art of balance, the harmony of embracing the storm within while staying anchored in calm. So I invite you to reflect: What EMOTIONS have you been suppressing? What would happen if you sat with them, acknowledged their presence, and asked what they are here to teach you? This journey is not always easy, but it is profound. By choosing to feel, reflect, and rise, we transform our inner battles into stepping stones for growth. In mastering ourselves, we master the world within and beyond us. |
| What are your thoughts about Tik Tok ban? Is this the beginning of a new trend where apps are being banned because of politics? We already have books being banned. What's next? We should ban or not ban a app, it should not be based on financial gain or loss, but the gain or loss it brings to the country or the society. When the ancient Chinese decided to live in peace, they made the great wall of China. They thought no one could climb it due to its height. During the first 100 years of its existence, the Chinese were invaded thrice. And everytime, the hordes of enemy infantry had no need of penetrating or climbing over the wall... because each time they bribed the guards and came through the doors. The Chinese built the wall but forgot the character-building of the wall-guards. Thus, the building of human character comes BEFORE building of anything else.. Thats what we need today. Like one Orientalist said: If you want to destroy the civilization of a nation there are 3 ways: 1. Destroy family structure. 2. Destroy education. 3. Lower their role models and references. 1. In order to destroy the family: undermine the role of Mother, so that she feels ashamed of being a housewife. 2. To destroy education: you should give no importance to Teacher, and lower his place in society so that the students despise him. 3. To lower the role models: you should undermine the Scholars, doubt them untill no one listens to them or follows them. For when a conscious mother disappears, a dedicated teacher disappears and there's a downfall of role models, WHO will teach the youngsters VALUES? Have a thought! What's next the answer is if we as a country adhere to our moral code that's enough. |
| Have fun with these words: sudden, tepid, intervention, brown, despised, gateway, and creature. As I get older, I've realized that my days of living are not as many as I've lived. This feeling has brought sudden changes in my life: 1. I have stopped crying at the farewell of a loved one now, because I have accepted that everyone's turn will come, mine too. 2. Even stopped worrying about what will happen after my goodbye. Everything as tepid as living will go the same way without my intervention. 3. Now I am not afraid of the property, power or position of the person in front that I despised. 4. Taking time for myself with creature comforts and realize the world will run without me. 5. Have stopped negotiating with small businessmen and ferry ones, and sometimes deliberately give a little too much. 6. I find joy in the happiness of the needy by giving a little help without asking. 7. When a wrong person argues, I give my mental peace a priority. 8. I listen to the elderly, and children's talk without biting. 9. Judging personality by thoughts and feelings instead of branded things also give respect to poor brown people. 10. I have learned to stay away from people who impose their habits on me. No longer in competition and living life simple. I have learned that life gives satisfaction not by making others happy, but by recognizing the joy within you. Trying to live every moment to the fullest, because now I understand that life is priceless and nothing is permanent here. Starting to live in connection with serving humanity, creature kindness and nature for inner peace. It's realized that eventually everything is left here, and only love, respect and humanity will go with us. Although late, but now I know how to live to secure a gateway to a heaven of peace. 😊 |
| Prompt: "The business of life is the acquisition of memories in the end that's all there is." Carson Downton Abbey Write about this quote in your Blog entry today. Someone who has betrayed you has revealed a part of their character that is not easily ignored. Trust, once broken, rarely returns. Betrayal is not a fleeting act but a window into the betrayer’s values and priorities—a truth that often repeats itself in one form or another. To trust them again is to risk reopening wounds that have only just begun to heal. There is power in recognizing patterns of behavior in others. One act of betrayal is not just a mistake; it is a reflection of deeper intentions or flaws. You don’t have to suffer multiple betrayals to understand who a person is—just as a drop of water can tell you the taste of the ocean. Ignoring the lessons betrayal teaches is not kindness; it is self-abandonment disguised as compassion. Wisdom lies in setting boundaries. When someone reveals their ability to betray you, take it as truth. This is not cynicism — it is clarity. Forgiveness may be a personal choice and a path to inner peace, but trust is a sacred bond that must be protected. It cannot be restored by simply ignoring the damage done, no matter how deep your heart or good your intentions. Leaving someone who has betrayed you is not an act of bitterness or coldness; It’s an act of self-respect. It’s about keeping your peace, maintaining your dignity, and refusing to let anyone diminish your worth any more. True healing begins when you realize that not everyone is worthy of a seat at your table, or the privilege of your trust. Life is too short to swim in troubled waters. You deserve relationships that lift you up, not ones that weigh you down. So trust yourself enough to see the betrayal for what it is, and let your instincts guide you toward connections that honor your worth. In doing so, you create space for authenticity, love, and trust that will stand the test of time. |
| Prompt:"I really try to enjoy life and have joy with what I do." Tim Tebow Let this quote inspire your writing today. Ernest Hemingway once wrote: "The hardest lesson I’ve had to learn as an adult is the relentless need to keep going, no matter how shattered I feel inside." This truth is both raw and universal. Life doesn’t pause when our hearts are heavy, our minds are fractured, or our spirits feel like they’re unraveling. It keeps moving—unrelenting, unapologetic—demanding that we move with it. There’s no time to stop, no pause for repair, no moment of stillness where we can gently piece ourselves back together. The world doesn’t wait, even when we need it to. What makes this even harder is that no one really prepares us for it. As children, we grow up on a steady diet of stories filled with happy endings, tales of redemption and triumph where everything always falls into place. But adulthood strips away those comforting narratives. Instead, it reveals a harsh truth: survival isn’t glamorous or inspiring most of the time. It’s wearing a mask of strength when you’re falling apart inside. It’s showing up when all you want is to retreat. It’s choosing to move forward, step by painful step, when your heart begs for rest. And yet, we endure. That’s the miracle of being human—we endure. Somewhere in the depths of our pain, we find reserves of strength we didn’t know we possessed. We learn to hold space for ourselves, to be the comfort we crave, to whisper words of hope when no one else does. Over time, we realize that resilience isn’t loud or grandiose; it’s a quiet defiance, a refusal to let life’s weight crush us entirely. Yes, it’s messy. Yes, it’s exhausting. And yes, there are days when it feels almost impossible to take another step. But even then, we move forward. Each tiny step is proof of our resilience, a reminder that even in our darkest moments, we’re still fighting, still refusing to give up. That fight—that courage—is the quiet miracle of survival. What’s the hardest lesson you’ve had to learn as an adult, and how has it shaped who you are today? |
"When mother is on her bed, she does not cry, she just thinks" Mom when death is on the bed She doesn't cry just thinks She thinks what kids be thinking Papa must be half thinking about it The whole house will be immersed in thought If she was fine then scratchy It removes all the thoughts. She hides her pain with a smile Still keeps trying Mom when death is on the bed - Mom when death is on the bed She doesn't cry just thinks She thinks About that kitchen Where could not go for months Ever since standing up has become muhal Wouldn't have been spoiled by not getting sunny That pickle of mango Which was fresh in the box then If the box of pepper would not have been opened A packet of milk fell outside the house Wouldn't have been there for days All the thinking of mother remains till mother Mother avoids saying anything to anyone Mom when death is on the bed Mom when death is on the bed She doesn't cry, she thinks She thinks- In the cold humming sun Who will feed the kids hard rice Who will make moong dal pudding Who will give me ginger cardamom tea Eat some more Drink some more Who will say it again and again -- Mom when death is on the bed She doesn't cry just thinks She thinks-what kind of baby is this The one who stays together all day Can't sleep at night She cries secretly Even my disease hides it from me Again with fake laughs Comes to me She is scared from the inside But gives me comfort Mother is a fighter The one who fights, fights and wins She doesn't cry just thinks Mom when death is on the bed Mom when death is on the bed She doesn't cry, she thinks She thinks- Oh God what have you done to me Kids na celebrating their birthday Not able to share our happiness Missing many chances back to back A lifeless body lying on the bed Happy happy mal picking up urine Feeding the antakshari Putting the cockroachs and pucchies Mom when death is on the bed -- Mom when death is on the bed She doesn't cry just thinks She thinks Except work, home and family Why are these kids behind me Father also forgetting his disease Why are you tied up for me How much loss will be facing for everyone's work What will be affecting everyone's health How much money must be spent What every member of the family must be tolerating Sighs hiding with the breath When mother is on death bed -- Mom when death is on the bed She doesn't cry just thinks Even when the neat stops looking The head of the voices of our own cannot stop Every part of the body starts refusing to support Even the mind starts refusing to believe at a time. Even in such a situation mother is fighting from inside When mother is on death bed She doesn't cry just thinks Mom needs some trick He needs salvation now He needs salvation so papa can take it Medicine on time Kids can go to work The sobbing coming from the bathroom stops Pain should not stop in any corner of the house Everything goes at its own pace And he moves to his destination The mother who made the house home Settles the house in herself And then the life giving mother To give life to everyone Once again Makes herself swaha Mom when death is on the bed She doesn't cry, she just thinks |

| This book dwells about The Truth of Thought! WHAT IS A THOUGHT...? Are the thoughts that I think mine, Really MINE...? Well! thought is a thing that I use to do logical work & to relate memories & information in relative to the situation & people... But what amazes me that, thought has the capacity that sometimes it works on its own even if I don't want to... The thoughts that take place inside my mind that I sometimes use to label, give a name when I see, hear, feel things like a person, a tree, a flower & so on... But the trouble with thoughts is that sometimes even when I don't need to think, the thoughts run on their own... so, IS IT ME THINKING? As Science says, there is something vibrational about thoughts & our minds are naturally built to gather those vibrations from the surroundings whether we choose to or not... so the mind is gathering thoughts like a machine without me noticing it...It's happening continuously... the thoughts are gathered as I speak to someone or listen to someone or from the books I read, the movies I watch, the songs that I listen to, the media, the constant naming & labelling things that I see, hear, feel and from the crowded places that I walk through...they enter my mind consciously when I choose to remember as a memory which I call knowledge for my future use... But actually as scientists say, that our minds pick up a lot many subliminal messages subconsciously without our knowledge...That's an amazingly revealing fact... For example, when we are surrounded by peaceful people in a peaceful environment - our mind relatively becomes peaceful by the vibrations of peaceful thought energy... And Vice Versa... Which is when we are surrounded by violent, aggressive people in a violent environment - our mind relatively becomes violent & aggressive by the vibrations of violent thought energy... Though some of us may think of peace, preach & constantly chant peace... the mind is just suppressing the violent thought energy which comes out with vengeance in some other situation sooner or later... So, the thoughts are gathered consciously by our preference of thinking and remembering as memory or knowledge... And there is also a gathering of thoughts & emotions into our minds unconsciously... Therefore, I'm very vulnerable to events & media which are constantly feeding my mind with thoughts & emotions like violence, hatred, blaming, selfishness, self deception, greed, complication, chaos, confusion, anger, aggressiveness, compulsions, loneliness, addictions, ambitions, fame, power, gossip, beliefs, separation (in the name of religion, language, caste, region & more), romantic wants(wrongly called Love) incessant worry of the future events, fear, anxiety, antagonism and more... Because I'm in the society, the society is constantly working in me whether I choose to or not... And the THOUGHTs ARE SO CUNNING that it makes me believe that they are MINE, ONLY MINE & WHATEVER I THINK IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT... And any opposition to my thoughts will be met with a reaction of anger or antagonism which divides me & the other person whose thoughts contradict mine... So the thought divides... And this reaction of mine takes a vibrational effect on the society that I live in... Understanding this cunning, deceptive & separating nature of thought, I just stop identifying myself with the thought or thoughts that I believed as "ME" & "MINE"... I just step back from this illusion & I live by this understanding from moment to moment... So there is a need of me being aware of the thoughts & resulting emotions that are constantly seeping into my mind which may induce my actions & reactions... And thus I change my idea about Thought... I stop believing in thoughts which I thought as Me... And because I am a part of this society, When I change... That's changing the society too... As J Krishnamurti says "You are not just part of the society, You are the society. If you want to change the society, you have to start with yourself. Once you are transformed, the whole society is transformed." |
