Lessons learned !!!

I did a mistake and the very next moment I understood that I have done a mistake. But more than that I know I have to take risk and if I do that probably I would face failure.
But I have learned a lesson. So does it mean I am maturing. “May Be Not “
The momentum with which we learn from our mistakes is far slower than the momentum with which the environment around us is changing. So may be the time I learned about “Hardworking “, it was already gone and “Smart working “ came into picture. So even though I learned, I was slower than the environment.
Now the question is how to keep pace with the factor, which is neither in our control nor predictable.
The only way is to become more adaptable and flexible to see through the future.

Best Example of PPP

Its almost 1 year of Satyam catastrophe , and I am very happy the way the company has restated it self in the industry with the help of Tech Mahindra .

But the over all credit goes to the 4 govt appointed members who did a fantastic job , and since Satyam holds a special place in my heart , I would like to thank them from within my heart . I always wanted Satyam to come back to normal and that’s the way it is today.

This is also a fantastic example of Public Private Partnership and can’t be seen any where in the world. Its only because the Govt took a rapid decision ,Satyam is saved today . People like Deepak parikh, Achutan , Kiran Karnik are legends in there areas and the way they brought Satyam back, we know why they are so special.

All I am today is because of Satyam, and so I just hope Satyam is back among TOP 3 in the industry .

New Year 2010 !!

Is it just a change of date??
Is the repeat ion of the same thing again??
May be not....
For me New is a set of new dates for self progress , ultimately effecting the whole lot of people connected with me .I have never being so excited about the new year celebrations or 31st or 1st dates, but yes...when it comes to commitment , new challenges , new dreams ...the new year motivates me to achieve them all.
At the same time , new year reminds me of my past mistakes and the things I have lost in the year passing by . Since my emotions are attached to my past, the passing year makes me sad more than the excitement of the new year.
But I know that the only thing constant in this universe is " CHANGE" , so no point going against the law.
So be ready for the change as it will happen whether we accept it willingly or unwillingly.
Happy New Year 2010 !!

Detachment ????

I really doubt the intention of divine in the formation of this universe.
Just a day before , one of our close family friend lost there son in-law in a road accident . I am not worried about the one who has gone, but those who are left behind for a miserable life for the rest of there life.
What exactly is divines plan . When ever I ask my father, the answer is progress of soul and the Karma which decides what we receive.
If the ultimate thing was progress of soul which again would be decided upon our act, why he made such a relation based on attachment. Its very hard to think that all has to leave this body one day, its just that someone leave early , some latter. But why this ????? Why a beloved next moment can disappear any moment. The end line is that there is nothing in our control. We are helpless and are in the state as decided by the divine. The very next moment is uncertain and unpredictable. The only way to decrease the lose is detachment . This is not a suggestion , whether you like or not , this has to be accepted since there is nothing in our control.

Relationship

I am finding it difficult to handle relationship . Things are changing so fast, the moment you have changed yourself to cope with one change, the next is ready in the queue.

Also expectations are now more from all the sides .

You concentrate on the relationship which matters more to you and concentrate on that. But people who mean all to you , may again have some special person who may mean special to them as well. So ultimately its not only maintaining relationship with the few special , but to those as well who are special to those few.

This chain is becoming longer and longer and I really don’t understand where its going to end.

May be I have to open my arms more .....again a new change for me ...but there is limit to all ....I really don’t have any idea when this would end..

May be never !!!!!

GOD Finding me !!

Sounds absurd , but I believe in this "God finding me"
There is a famous nazm of Nida Fasli and it goes like :

"Sab ki saki pe nazar ho , ye zaruri hai magar //

Sab pe saki ki nazar ho, ye zaruri to nahi "

It means : It may be that all eyes are on god, but what matters is on whom god's eye is .
Lets try to be so devoted and surrender our self , that the divine has a urge for us.

Every time I and my father discuss , he narrates this story of Sriaurobindo . Once a blind guy came to visit Sriaurobindo on a durshan day . when his turn came, one of the sadhak came to Sriaurobindo and said that a blind man wants to have durshan of yours.
Sriaurobindo gave a pause and then said since he has no eyes how can he have darshan.
The same was communicated to the blind guy and the reply was heart touching . The blind man said , I don’t want to see sriaurobindo , I just want that he seems me once.

The message is clear, the surrender should be to the limit that even the divine feels the necessity to be with me.

True lasting love : is it devotion ?

IMP : This post is from Shekher Kapoor's blog , but I really admired it and thought to post on my site as well.

==================================

This came in from Cinda and I found it very beautiful :
It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80s arrived to have his stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00. I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would be able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On examining it I saw it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors and got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.
While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while as she suffers with Alzheimer's disease.
As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now. I was surprised and asked him, "And do you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?"
He smiled as he patted my hand and said, "She doesn't know me anymore but I still know who she is." I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm and thought,
"That is the kind of love I want in my life. True love is neither physical nor romantic."
True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be......
