Isha Yoga Centre

My trip to Isha Yoga Foundation- Dhyana Linga

I came to know about this place through a friend in Orkut who had uploaded the photographs of her visit. I searched for about a month to find the location. This being in Coimbatore i never thought that i'll be able to visit this place. When finally destiny had brought me to coimbatore. It took me 3 months to plan a visit. When i finally did it was worth the wait. This is such a wonderful place. The dilemma of Idol worship and spiritual path is clearly united here.

Reloaded

Spirituality need not wait...

I think its just a simple thing (May be an Attitude) which can go hand in hand with you daily normal life....

There is no point in being tooo competitive about life...

At some point of life there should be a stop to looking around for better work place... need to accept the reality and adjust to life.. so i am gonna do that... may be the perfect work place is just a myth. The happiness at workplace comes from how you are ready to accept the reality...

So just take it as it is and move on.... !!!

PROBLEMS

If everything is perfect then we dont need people to work in any organization.. just machines and operators will do. We are there coz problems are there. Problems are what is keeping our job alive. But if you dont't solve enough of them it will choke your job to death. So kill as many as you can and make sure "what you have killed will never come back to life". Face the new ones with all the vigour and might. Kill them too, but be grateful to them coz they are the reason why you exist.

Too dreamy is it ??? Thats ok.. we still can sort this out... i have just started walking in this road.

Spirituality Can Wait...

I was in an eternal dilemma for quiet some time now... i was noticing some changes in me... the intrusion of feelings like fear into the system and it has infiltrated to such an extent that i was feeling like an eighty year old. I noticed my reluctance to drive over a 60kmps mark and my concerns over the onset of rain before or during a trip... what happened to me.. even if its getting older or getting mature .. why the hell am i being numb and letting it happen.... this change may bring peace but is not bringing any happiness more over its making me feel lonely... 

Spirituality can wait... lemme resist this change and fight for happiness... 

The Extraordinary

I have seen different people in my career at UAE, i have been dealing with workers as an intermediary between them and the management. Take their problems to management and implement management decision.. yes it was a tedious job...

1. Shajahan : He was working in my dept as a worker. I was stunt at the way he speaks English, very fluent. I got interested in this person. I spoke to him and i came to know that he worked in an embassy before coming to UAE for job. The work he was doing was really stressful and tiring but he was always enthusisastic. He had the drive to move forward. He finally landed up with an additional responsibility of teaching other workers English language, a non profit making effort by that noble young man. Truly inspirational.

2. Mohan : He was a grinder (Worker) he had interest in computers, drawings etc. He bough a computer , installed autocad and started learning on his own he requested his supervisor to get training in technical stuff but his request was turned down. He persisted attended trainings during his vacation and came back with certificates. Tried to work his way up again.. again his request was turned down by supervisor.... He took a drastic step made drawings on his own and met the CEO . He was permitted to do training in QC dep as unpaid apprentice for 2 months. He struggled his way up and finally landed up in R&D dept as methods engineer.

Soooo many people with the will and drive to excel and successful in doing it.. this world is large enough for those who want it so...

Devilish Red

Red....i used to love you...
Red you used to smoothen my eyes
You used to bring me hope
You brought joy....

Red i am afraid...
Afraid of you...
I see you as blood..
Blood from my bleeding soul...

Devil Dance

She is beautiful
Her eyes full of love
Her words had magic
Thatv took me for a ride

She showed me dreams
She gave me hopes
She showed me new meanings
To my life i used to hate

She blindfolded me in love
I drowned in her love
She kissed me
She hugged me

Now when i wake up from the dream
Breaking her spells
I see the devil in her
Laughing at me...

She killed my soul
She oozed my love
She is happy
When she saw me dying

I cried for my life
She acted deaf
I ran for my life
She pulled me back

Now she is dancing
Dancing on my grave
Its her wedding dance
Right above my grave

My soul weeps
Weeps in hurt
Weeps in insult
Laughing at me....

Platonic Love

Platonic love in its modern popular sense is an affectionate relationship into which the sexual element does not enter, especially in cases where one might easily assume otherwise. A simple example of platonic relationships is a deep, non-sexual friendship between two heterosexual people of the opposite sexes
At the same time, this interpretation is a misunderstanding of the nature of the Platonic ideal of love, which from its origin was that of a chaste but passionate love, based not on uninterest but virtuous restraint of sexual desire. In its original Platonic form, this love was meant to bring the lovers closer to wisdom and the Platonic Form of Beauty. It is described in depth in Plato's Phaedrus and Symposium. In the Phaedrus, it is said to be a form of divine madness that is a gift from the gods, and that its proper expression is rewarded by the gods in the afterlife; in the Symposium, the method by which love takes one to the form of beauty and wisdom is detailed.

Boredom- Clinical

Boredom is an unpleasant state of mind in which one interprets one's environment as dull, tedious, and lacking stimuli. There is an inherent hopelessness in boredom; people will expend considerable effort to prevent or remedy it, yet in many circumstances it is accepted as an inevitable suffering to be endured. A common way to escape boredom is through creative thoughts or daydreaming.

Time often seems to move more slowly to someone who experiences boredom; this results from the way in which the human mind measures the passage of time, combined with the infrequency of events perceived as notable.

A typical teenager's complaint is that there is 'nothing to do'; this statement can have a number of economic and social causes. Younger teens cannot drive, but in many communities are unable to get anywhere without a car possibly due to lack of public transportation. It may also mean that their desired sources of entertainment are too expensive. It could also be a symptom of learned helplessness, possibly related to boredom experienced at school.

Far from being a minor annoyance, boredom can have major negative impacts on people. Perhaps more importantly, boredom is often a symptom of deeper problems, such as depression, ineffective teaching, or ineffective management in a workplace

The Most Outspoken Enlightened Man of the centuary

Constrained Optimisation

Every individual prefers to live a happy and peaceful life. We expect our days to be bright ! Does this happen often ? Any way for me i do not think so. Human beings can never maximise happiness, human life is completely constrained. Man is born in chains and will die in chains ! The process of human life is just a change in chains, addition or deletion of the same.
Any activity a person intending to do will go through a lot of screening process within his mind and the predominent factor affecting the above is the openion of others ! So how much weightage is given for these ? Like wise millions of constraints

Is Love a constraint ???? Just this quiestion would have attracted lot of frowns i am aware of that. But i feel this way.Love is a constraint....and it continues to be one throughout his life. This chain is so strong that its number increases with age of the individual. This is the same constraint which prevents or inhibits the thoughts of a person's pursuit for eternal freedome. So isn't love a constraint ??

Love comes as Parents, Sibblings, Girl/Boy friends, Wife/Husband, Children, Grandchildren...

when is man free ?? when does he do things of his own wish ?? Being the most evolved species is he ever free to do things he wish ? Is maximisation of happiness possible ? No its optimisation , Constrained Optimisation

Chains

MAN Born in chains

Will Live in Chains

Will Die in chains

Heights of Customer Service

For the first time in my life i visited a treassuary yesterday and i saw the heights of customer service. If the full form of PSC is Public Service Commission and if thats how ppl get into this office the name should be changed to Public Screwing Commission coz.

The systems there are obsolete. The Cash reciept was on one corner and then from there the challan was taken to other corner of the office which took 5 min for the peon to carry. I was instructed to wait for the callan counter foil to come. I waited for 53 mins and after utter frustration i approached the peon and he said the challan has not reached this section. I informed him tat the person who was standing behind me in the queue left 45 mins back. He went and checked again ( Another 10 mis) he came back and replied the challan was not there. Then i went back to the cash counter and he checked the floor "my challan for 75,000 Rs was lying on the floor" the peon was happy to see that it was not his mistake and he gave me the counter foil after 5 mins.

World Class service at your FOOT STEPS !!!!!

India SHINE !!! and this kerala is again set for an ellection !!!!

The Health Concern

Casabianca

The boy stood on the burning deck
Whence all but he had fled;
The flame that lit the battle's wreck
Shone round him o'er the dead.

Yet beautiful and bright he stood,
As born to rule the storm;
A creature of heroic blood,
A proud, though child-like form.

The flames rolled on–he would not go
Without his Father's word;
That father, faint in death below,
His voice no longer heard.

He called aloud–'say, Father, say
If yet my task is done?
'He knew not that the chieftain lay
Unconscious of his son.

'Speak, father!' once again he cried,
'If I may yet be gone!
'And but the booming shots replied,
And fast the flames rolled on.

Upon his brow he felt their breath,
And in his waving hair,
And looked from that lone post of death
In still yet brave despair.

And shouted but once more aloud,
'My father! must I stay?
'While o'er him fast, through sail and shroud,
The wreathing fires made way.

They wrapt the ship in splendour wild,
They caught the flag on high,
And streamed above the gallant child,
Like banners in the sky.

There came a burst of thunder sound–
The boy–oh! where was he?
Ask of the winds that far around
With fragments strewed the sea!–

With mast, and helm, and pennon fair,
That well had borne their part–
But the noblest thing which perished there
Was that young faithful heart.

Felicia Hemans (1793 - 1835)

My sweet water....

Water so pure...
Her giggles..the songs of nature...
Water so cold..
Water my soul...

There came the giant
The devil.. the cola
He married her...
He kept her in chains

He killed her parents
He locked her beloveds
Devil he is
He married my water

Devil he is
He raped her
He exploited her
She ...poor ...exhausted

Devil he is
He is selling her
He made her a prostitiute
He is selling her to her beloveds
And making them take her...

Rise and revolt
Before he kills her
Before he moves from here
In search of his next prey

Coke..the masters of business

When the students in USA revolt against the brutal acts of coke in India and Columbia ...the students of a management institute in Kerala which is just 3 hrs away from plachimada and whose student comunity has a majority of people from the district of palaghat ...is selling COCA COLA inside the campus

This is a location where students of the neighbouring college , as a protest against coke have imposed a ban on selling coke outside the campus . So what message does this convey " U wana live , u wana get a good job sell ur mom to the MD or ur wife to the MD and PLEASE him " is this a kinda life worth living.....

Its hard time we think before the devil engulfs the Homo sapiens with thnking capacity ...to death...

Petrol Pump Strike

Today The comparitively peaceful city of Calicut witnessed an brutal assault and murded out of revenge of a petrol pump employee

But what i want to point out is not that issue which will for sure will come in the news papers . Being vaccation me and my friend set out in my bike for a trip and i happened to go to a petrol pump to fill the relatively empty tank and i was startled by the reply of petrol pump strike as had already coverd half way and i was expecting an empty takn any moment . byt considering the emosions of the workers i decided to take a risk rather than beging ,but the fear of walking in the hot sun really made me ask the lady in the pump for atlest a half litre . But a NO really made me understand their UNITY .

The best part of the story is that when i was about to leave i saw the same lady giving petrol to not one but TWO auto rickshaws which tempted me to ask once more for petrol and even this time reply was same so i walked in their office and a much more insulting NO was the answer form the Lady sitting there

What i couldn't understand was the policy of treating customers in two different was and troubling customers who has nothing to do with the strike

This nation need to change.....

The Drizzle...

Its raining...
Its time for a change..
A journey to the unknown...
Known is Beautiful...So Let Unknown be the Most Beautiful....
There is fragrance of a red rose...All over again...
The Scent reminds the whisper , the giggles...
The Thorns...
The Hopes...The greenery...
Love is in the air...
Like a Rose bud...
Awaiting its turn..
