Prejudice

"Prejudice is opinion without judgment. "

Tuesday, December 1, 2009

Depends on us

"How we see things outside us, depends on how things are inside us;
Rs. 100/- looks so big when we go to temple and so small when we go to multiplex"
"ನಾವು ಹೊರಗಿನ ಪ್ರಪಂಚ ನೋಡುವುದು, ನಮ್ಮ ಒಳ ಮನಸಿನ ಮೇಲೆ ಆದರಿತವಾಗಿದೆ,
ದೇವಸ್ತಾನ ಗೆ ಹೋದಾಗ Rs.100/- ಬಹಳ ದೊಡ್ಡದಾಗಿ ಕಾಣಿಸುತದೆ,
ಅದೇ Rs.100/- Multiplex ಗೆ ಹೋದಾಗ ಬಹಳ ಸಣ್ಣದಾಗಿ ಕಾಣಿಸುತದೆ."

Are you Guilty!?

Are you guilty!?

One MONK was caught of plucking and eating mangoes from tree and taken Him to court for hearing.

Judge asked the MONK, “Did you pluck and ate the mangoes from the tree?”

MONK said, “Yes”

Judge: Why?

MONK: I was hungry.

Judge: “Did you know that this tree does not belongs to you and owner of this tree had complained on you of trespassing and plucking and eating the mangoes from the tree.”

MONK: “Oh is it ! ”

Judge: Are you guilty of your act?

MONK: "No".

Judge: But, You agreed that you pluck and ate the mangoes from tree!

MONK: Yes

Judge: Then how come you say you are not guilty?

MONK to Judge: "GOD had made this world, nature and whole this Universe, HE is real owner and also this tree belongs to HIM and HE had kept inside the mango a delicious taste so that everyone can enjoy HIS creation and I was Hungry so I plucked the mango from tree and ate it."

Judge kept silent for a while and said: Oh! You are accepting that you ate mango and saying you are not guilty!

MONK asked the Judge: “Are you guilty of being Judge and giving decision”?

Judge with agony and confused face asked the MONK, “No, Why you are asking this question?”

MONK to Judge: “According to my knowledge and belief only GOD has the power to take decision and judge, everyone knows it and even you knows it, in spite of this you are taking HIS position and judging people and giving decision on the facts and evidence available to you in the court, if no facts and evidence available even guilty will be released with full respect and if someone who is really innocent fails to prove his innocence he will be sentenced to punishment. What an irony!? WHEN YOU ARE NOT GUILTY OF SUCH A BIG ACT HOW COME I AM? WHICH IS NOT AT ALL A CRIME.

Judge and all people there were stunned with no answer!
Well, there are so many things in life which does not have a proper answer, better to keep quite and leave it to GOD, according to Judge it is a mistake from MONK side where as from MONK side the scenery is totally different.
In our life we also do so many mistakes and take it to granted, but we always point out at others mistakes and try to make them realize that they had done mistake; if some one judges or gives advice or suggestion to us we ask, "Who are you to do so"; we think we can judge the people around us and think that we are perfect where as fact is that we are still imperfect and immature thats why we are still living this Human life full of misery, and we go aganist "Law of Nature or GOD" and only our Ego reflects in day to days activities; does any one had done "SELF INTROSPECTION" - are we guilty!?

Rain in Delhi & NCR

When rains in Delhi and NCR, life becomes hectic, messy, road will get blocked by water and heavy traffic jams.
Almost quarter to half of the body of your two wheeler and four wheeler will get drowned in water.
From Wednesday, 09th September 2009 evening raining started till mid day of 11th September 2009, some times heavy rain and sometimes little rain.
You can see above the three [3] photos of Gurgaon bus stand full of water, old Gurgaon was filled by water everywhere; not only Gurgaon this was the condition of whole Delhi and NCR. My colleagues who comes from different parts of Delhi and NCR had similar experience of traffic jams, messy with water, painful and hectic travel.
All normal activities got disturbed and got freeze, so many could not able to reach office and returned back to Home.
Local transport is very worst in Gurgaon, there is no proper "City Bus Service", more number of Cycle Rikshaw, Auto Rikshaw, Mini Buses and Private buses are there and competition among themselves to gain their customer / travellers.
Due to heavy rain it is very difficulty for two wheeler to ride in midst of road full of water, messy and traffic jams.
One does not know whether manhole is opened as it is full of water, my two wheeler got switch off as water went inside plug and I was pushing it, next to me two persons sitting in bike went fast in that road full of water and their front wheel got inside the manhole and I was far to them and pushing my two wheeler manually, thank GOD ! people nearby there helped them to get out of it. I decided to push my vehicle manually in that road full of water till the roads are visible to eyes.
If one decides not to travel by his private vehicle due to rain and traffic jam and decides to reach office by local transporter then he had to take cycle rikshaw from home to bus / private vehicle stand - catch bus or auto rikshaw and reach linking destination and change another auto rikshaw to his office. An half an hour ride in your two wheeler will become almost two [2] hours of hectic / painful / messy journey.
I had a very hectic / painful / messy experience to reach office and back home by private transport, really I got exhausted and felt fatigue.
Oh ! again I felt "ಉರು ಉರು ಸುತ್ತ ಮೇಲೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಉರು ನಮಗೆ ಮೇಲು".

Some interesting facts

If there is a road to HEAVEN, it is through HELL.

If every SAINT has a PAST and every SINNER has a FUTURE.

Then, it is true that every person has a PAST and has a FUTURE too.

One should never worry about the past happenings, because they have a future too unrevealed.

Never worry about your past, neither think about your future, just be in the present and live your life to full.

Take experience from past, work hard n smartly in present and plan for future.

Past is an experience and future is a goal where as present is LIVE to achieve the future goal with experience of past.

If you lose the present then you will never get it back.

Time never waits for anyone, it keeps on moving.

One of the greatest illusions of life is that; we always believe that there is more time in tomorrow than today.

One can be happy in present not in past memories neither in future plan, only one thing is true that is, in present you are breathing and living and it is the right time to be happy,enjoy and work to achieve your goal and live your life.

My experience in Delhi and NCR

My experience in DELHI and NCR.
People from south part of India see the long distance north part of India as a "HILL" which is very round ["ದೂರದ ಬೆಟ್ಟ ನುಣ್ಣಗೆ"] and reaches only to find lots of stones, weeds and uncertainty in their way.
Summer:-
Here weather, climate and environment is very extreme.
In summer day temperature will be between 45 degree to 50 degree where as night temperature will be between 34 degree to 38 degree.
You can see the Sun shining in the early morning 5 am to 7:45 pm.
Walls, chairs, all furniture and all equipments will be very hot, if you open the tap water coming from water tank will be very hot as coming from geyser.
If you are riding your two wheeler in traffic, traffic jam and hottest climate with lots of sweating and you will be wet with perspiration and if you are traveling in local transport then guess !!! it will be a hell.
You have to take bath when you reach home from office in the evening and you had to take bath before sleeping to avoid wet with perspiration.
You feel like drinking lots of cold water, cool drinks etc., but never feel hungry to eat, just like to drink and drink.
Winter:-
Winter here will be very coldest reaches between 1 degree to 6 degree in the night where as day temperature will be around 12 degree , but you can enjoy a lot by wearing lots of cloths from tip to bottom, you feel like you are in refrigerator and you can eat lots of chatpatta items, you can enjoy eating.
Day time will be very less as by between 5:30 pm to 6:00 pm it starts getting dark.
If you are riding two wheeler or driving your four wheeler early morning or late in the evening visibility will be very less, one has to be very cautious.
If you open tap water will be coming as you are taking from refrigerator.
Taking bath in the morning and getting ready by wearing lots of cloths from tip to bottom and reaching office will be an adventure.
Rainy Season:
There is no particular rainy season here like our south part of India, but when rains whole roads will be like river, traffic jam, lots of messy etc., very ridiculous.
Hidden cost:-
In Delhi and NCR lots of hidden cost is there:
Inverter is necessary as power cut is very more.
Air conditioner or Dessert water cooler is necessary in summer.
Heater is necessary in Winter.
For summer you need summer cloths.
For winter you need winter cloths.
Refrigerator is very essential.
Cost of living is very high.
In summer all fruits and vegetables price reaches top.
What ever you get extra payment by coming to North part of India will goes in those extra expenses and when ever you visit your home town once in a year in south part of India your savings will goes in traveling, shopping and other expenses and leaving you in Zero savings.
More over you are far from your parents, relatives and friends; leaving you in emotional stress also, here you get all stress like mental, emotional and economic stress, keeps you worrying how you got trapped in this place.
Other extremes: -
Traffic jam = If traffic jam happens you will be held for minimum 20 minutes and a maximum of 2 hours.
Riding and Driving sense = very horrible and nuisance.
Behavior of people = Depends on their mood, hot climate, traffic jam etc., = unpredictable and very rude.
One thing I realized after coming to Delhi and NCR is that our Karnataka and especially my home town Mysore is a "HEAVEN" our Karnataka people are so soft and humble.
You can be more happy by what you are getting in your native place rather getting more payment and spending same for hidden cost and coming to Zero savings.
"ಉರು ಉರು ಸುತ್ತ ಮೇಲೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಉರು ನಮಗೆ ಮೇಲು".
I hope this is enough to describe my experience in Delhi and NCR, right now I am in Gurgaon, Haryana State, earlier to this I was in Ghaziabad, UttarPradesh State and before it I was in New Delhi.
I am not telling I am having only extreme experiences, but as a whole and as a summary only these will come to mind.

ಉತ್ತರ ಭಾರತದ ಜನತೆಗೆ ದಕ್ಷಿಣ ಭಾರತದ ಭಾಷೆ ಬಗೆ ತಿಳಿಯದು

ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ದಿನದ ಹಿಂದೆ ನನ್ನ ಉತ್ತರ ಭಾರತದ ಗೆಳಯ ಒಂದು ತಮಿಳ್ ಹಾಡಿನ ಅರ್ಥ ಕೇಳಿದ,
ಅವನು ಅದನ್ನು "Youtube" ನಲ್ಲಿ ಕೇಳಿದನಂತೆ
ನಾನು ಹೇಳಿದೆ ಇದರ ಅರ್ಥ ನನಗೆ ತಿಳಿಯದು, ಇದು ತಮಿಳ್ ಹಾಡು ಎಂದು
ಅವನು ಆಶ್ಚರ್ಯ ದಿಂದ ನಿಮ್ಮ ಬಾಷೆಯ ಹಾಡಿನ ಅರ್ಥ ಗೊತಿಲ್ಲವೇ ಎಂದು ಕೇಳಿದ?
ಉತ್ತರ ಭಾರತದ ಜನತೆಗೆ ದಕ್ಷಿಣ ಭಾರತದ ಭಾಷೆ ಬಗೆ ತಿಳಿಯದು
ಕನ್ನಡ, ತಮಿಳ್, ಮಲಯಾಳಂ ಮತ್ತು ತೆಲಗು ಎಲ್ಲ ಒಂದೇ ಆವರಿಗೆ!!!

Free the heart

Condition the body,
Discipline the mind,
Sharpen the intellect,
Humble the ego,
and
Free the heart.
Good day to you.

Positive thinking poem

"Little birds fly in the sky,
You look up and they shit in your eye,
You do not get angry and you do not cry,
You only thank GOD that cows do not fly."

"Necessity is the mother of all inventions"

"NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF ALL
INVENTIONS".
When necessity comes then only we realize our strength and weakness, and we invent it.
When responsibility / duty / work had been given or dumped on your shoulder; that time one has two options; Take it or run from it.
One will run may be for two reasons; had other option or really does not fit for it.
One will take it may be for two reason, had no other options or really want to face the challenge.
One, who takes it for having no other options, will run when they get other options.
One, who takes it as a challenge, will definitely become a leader and can face life in any situations.
So, never run away from your responsibilities / duties / work.
Do it to your best and do not worry about your result, as your work / act will get the result itself.
This is what LORD SHRI KRISHNA says, “Do the work and leave the result to GOD".
"Jai Guru Dev" - "Jai Shri Krishna" – “Jai Mata Di”
