Auspiciousness (swasti) be unto all; peace (shanti) be unto all;
fullness (poornam) be unto all; prosperity (mangalam) be unto all.

The late Adrian Rogers said, “you cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had once failed an entire class.

That class had insisted that Obama’s socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama’s plan”.

THIS MORNING I overslept. I spent the weekend teaching a workshop on the East Coast and then caught a flight home that landed at midnight. By the time I collected my luggage, got to my car and drove home it was 2 a.m. I didn’t mind. I still felt exhilarated from the workshop and the happy, joyful response, which emanated from the people who attended. Their love carried me home on such a vibrational high I didn’t feel tired at all. That is until the alarm clock went off at 7 a.m.

Let us declare that the state of war does exist & shall exist so long as the Indian toiling masses & the natural resources are being exploited by a handful of parasites. They may be purely British capatilists or mixed British and Indian or even purely Indian."

OPPORTUNITY: All of us tend to be waiting for the right moment. The time when God will give us a chance to do something. Sankalp has given me the thing which people spend their lives searching uselessly. May be I am not someone big. I may be the flimsiest mole on the planet . The worst of His creation. But what I still have is an opportunity to do something really big: TO SAVE A HUMAN LIFE. How many people will want to do this but wont have the resources to do anything like this ever in their life. My life has a meaning and I am Proud to say this.

Jahan Daal Daal Par…………………..
Sone Ki Chidiya Karati Hai Basera………….
Woh Bharat Desh Hai Mera…………….

It was a one of the best patriotic song of Hindi Film Music. Rafi Saheb in his golden voice wonderfully describes the unique and prosperous natural, cultural, social characteristics of our country in the song from Kedar Kapoor’s SIKANDAR-E-AZAM (1965), composed by Hansraj Bhel in the great lyrics of Qamar Jalalabadi and the song was picturised on Prem Nath and Prem Chopra.

Interesting question. Some say God is formless , some say that Good looks like us. There are some who say that everyone is God and everyone has goodness within. There is a concept of atman(similar to concept of soul) which is formless, which is all perfect, which cannot be destroyed, killed etc.

He who send me here knows what he wants me to do
I may be here to do more or I could be no more
I am a figment of imagination of those in need of blood
I am a support to my parents my sibling and my love

Born winners need to embrace the pain
Winners are they who don't die in vain
Hold your nerves and keep up the pace
Life is a box of chocolate - you never know what you get :)

I am writing the blog after a long time. A lot had happened from last time I wrote one and this one. Life is not a same, as it is never. Lot of thing changed. Some towards betterment and some still on a way of improvement. What made me to write this blog is learning in this time. This blog is one of my lesson which i had always knew but never understood.

And then she said .. "Did you not blog about this?"

Umm.. And so this is here. Last Monday, the morning after the Independence day, I was woken up with a phone call. It told me something that reminded me of 5 years younger me on the roads picking up the Tiranga's that could be seen through the mist that engulfs the mountains in the rainy seasons :)

There are times in life (like the time I have right now), when it gets difficult to see what lies ahead. I really don't know where I am heading. Things are so messed up, so confusing. This is not the first time I am going through this phase. It comes! Sometimes. Specially when the pressure to get things done immediately is not high!

Every day as I scan through the news sites I get to read more and more about H1N1. And every time this happens I get more and more frustrated with the way things are portrayed in the media. Since June this year we at Sankalp are having a horrible time. This is because of the unprecedented rise in the number of people suffering from dengue. Out of the few hundred requests for blood we have seen in last few weeks, we have come across 4 people who failed to get sufficient blood on time. All four of them were suffering from dengue!
