mess-communication

I have realized the amount of usage of internet platforms I do everyday.


So here it is one more experiment to do !

Living away from communications up to some extent.

No Facebook
No Twitter
No BBM
No Phone

Let's see how it goes!

tada! :)

The Healing

I am really not sure how this thing works. I dont even know it is natural flow with which it happens or it is in real some kind of a therapy.
I have experimented with two of my friends and by one or the other reasons it has always worked.
They call it healing and they send via mind waves or something.
I always have trouble sleeping early. Once Prarthana told me as a part of a random conversation, I can try sending you healing and you will get sleep. I, as usual, thought it to be some kind of new "art of living" techniques but then I gave a shot and in real sense, I was sleeping in next 30 minutes. Most important, peacefully. No dream sleep is my dream sleep and thats what happened. I told her quite a few times after that to send that "healing" and it has worked everytime.
Now yesterday, I had a very bad headache and already not keeping much with the health factor, I think lack of immunity power it is. Amitabh said I am sending you healing and your headache will go. Surprisingly it did go  away.

Whatever this is, I am not sure but Prarthana - Amitabh!
Thank you!:)

Heal what has been hurt,

Change the fates design, 

Save what has been lost,

Bring back what once was mine,

What once was mine...

Meaning, Life and Light

“The very meaninglessness of life forces man to create his own meaning. 

Children, of course, begin life with an untarnished sense of wonder, a capacity to experience total joy at something as simple as the greenness of a leaf; but as they grow older, the awareness of death and decay begins to impinge on their consciousness and subtly erode their joie de vivre, their idealism – and their assumption of immortality.

As a child matures, he sees death and pain everywhere about him, and begins to lose faith in the ultimate goodness of man. But, if he’s reasonably strong – and lucky – he can emerge from this twilight of the soul into a rebirth of life’s elan. Both because of and in spite of his awareness of the meaninglessness of life, he can forge a fresh sense of purpose and affirmation. He may not recapture the same pure sense of wonder he was born with, but he can shape something far more enduring and sustaining.

The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death – however mutable man may be able to make them – our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment. 

However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.”

Quote

“I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker.” 

~Stanley Kubrick

Its already two years that we made Itivrutt- the college journal and tomorrow is a launch of one more!

but one...

I walk

Till the silence splits me open

I walk

Till it puts me underground

Till I have no breath

And no roads left but one....

words I write

If the heart is totally absorbed, then all the other senses are obliterated in it, and there is no need for the tongue.
Take the case of Laila:
She was not a spiritual being, but of flesh, fashioned of water and clay. Yet passion for her produced such absorption, and so utterly seized and overwhelmed Majnun, that he had no need to see
Laila with his eyes, no need to hear her voice. He could not separate himself from the thought of her, causing him to cry:

Your name is upon my tongue.

Your image is in my sight.

Your memory in my heart,

Where can I send these words I write?

what should I write

I wanted to write about

- detail talk with Amitabh
- discussions with Nitij
- How all the industrial areas are indulged into under paid black labor and on the other end people are talking about spirituality and design based education.
- I haven't talked to Nipunbhai from such a long time
- I live on GluconD
- How Handmade Hope products specially paper bags and elephant poo paper notebooks are being taken up by people via awareness.
- Why are we doing fundraising for Handmade Hope for the first time till now
- Why I am not given credits on Yuva Unstoppable "somewhat" new website and if I should ask for it or let it be?

so with so many things to write, I decide to sleep! :)

Current Read - India by Shashi Tharoor

The one I am reading doesn't have this cover! 

This is one book which is taking its longest time to be finished till now.
But I am enjoying it.
The way India is described in this book is really good.
I cant make a comparison because this is the first book I am reading on India.
So many points are worth giving thought which have never even crossed the mind.
