Sach- Such A Great Feeling


Via- http://www.mynewnormals.com/truth-hurts/
What is truth? Is it just being right or just an antonym of lie? The answer to this question is easy. Truth is the act of doing right that works for the betterment of an individual or society. However, it is often seen that people lose their stand on being truthful. There are many conditions in which a person feels lying is the last option. Soon that habit of lying grows. There can be two reasons why a person lies. Firstly because he don’t see any harm in lying and just because he has got away when he lied in the past and secondly is the unawareness of the relief that a person feels after telling the truth.

The first reason depends on the situation while the second reason depends on an individual’s character. If a person is lying then his character should be such that he should feel guilt and shame for his act. The moment a person decides to live without guilt that is when he would tread on the path of truth.

There was one incident, which happened with me a few months back. My girl friend told me to stop being in touch with my ex. I understood her situation and agreed to the point. Few weeks passed and I bumped into my ex at local mall. We shared few pleasantries and headed our ways.

I thought of hiding that meeting from my girl friend. I knew the reaction could worsen our relationship and could possibly break it (based on the experience). I loved her and did not want to hurt her. That day we had dinner together. The night was going smoothly, I looked into her eyes, and that innocence drove me to the guilt lane. That guilt of hiding something from her poked me inside. I dropped her at her place and drove back to my place. That night I pondered over the thought of our relationship. Should I lie to make this relationship work? Moreover, if is it so, then are we really in a good relationship?

I called my girlfriend and asked if she could meet me. She was a little hesitant and worried but gave in to my request. I picked her up and we drove to a nearby place. She looked at me and asked what happened. I narrated the whole scenario to her. She listened carefully and then spoke in her serious tone “It’s ok. You did for us.” She made me understand that whatever I did was not intentional and if I had not spoken to my ex, she would felt guilty. That is when I realized our relationship has matured. Now she is not my girlfriend, now she is my fiancĂ©e.

This incident made me realize how beautiful is that feeling of telling the truth and letting off that burden. Truth never breaks, it only makes and if something gets broken because of truth then it was never meant to be.

Speak truth because the more you practice it the more it would honor you.

Happy Kids = Memorable Vacations

Vacations and trips are some of the most memorable times of an individual’s life. These travel experiences make an individual’s life complete. The fun just doubles when we have kids sharing those vacation moments with us.

Via- http://mumfection.com/planning-a-family-vacation-on-a-tight-budget/
When kids become part of a trip, they bring their energy to it. Their amusement and reactions to the new and unknown traditions and customs of that foreign land are priceless and the fun that they have is something that starts to reflect in every member.

When I was a kid, we used to go on trips with our uncles and cousins and the “bachha party” used to have a ball throughout the trip. The reminiscence of those trips is not just cherished by us but also by our parents. They recall the shear enthusiasm and confidence that we showed while indulging those goofy traits.

I recall one incident when we went for a trip to Leh and Ladakh. We were having cricket bats and ball with us. When we reached there we were all were too exhausted to even go out for the morning sightseeing but the kids were determined to practice their cover drive on such heights. We finally gave up to their will but told them that they can play and we will not be part of the sport, to which they happily agreed. We were sitting on the rocks watching them play and that is when few kids dressed in the attire of bodh bhikshu also gathered and watched them play. My cousin’s son went up to them offered them to play as well. They were a little hesitant at first but agreed to our kids’ idea. The sight of those bodh kids playing cricket with our kids was something that still fills up my heart with some warm emotions and brings smile to my face. What we captured with our eyes that moment has stayed with us as sweet memory, which could have only been possible because of our kids.

Many incidents like this had given us memories that we even cherish today. The first and foremost step to such a perfect vacation is a good plan. Whenever we plan a vacation, we take special care that our kids have great time. The first and foremost thing that we do is book a good hotel or resort. Once you have a good place to stay and throw your luggage in, it is half the job done. Picking up the right sightseeing spots that would interest the kids and even the adults is my second priority because on vacation everyone needs to have fun. Once I cover these two things then I just sit, relax and enjoy my vacation with my family and make awesome memories that I cherish long after the trips.

Facing The Fear

Fear is a four letter word that can make a hell let of a difference in someone’s life. When it escalates and its magnitude increases, it turns into phobia. With a good numbers in population accepting that they have fear of something, we also have good percentage of individuals who live in denial of fearing anything. Now again not fearing anything does not mean taking foolish decisions. To overcome your fear you first have to accept it and try to face it.
Some people have stage fear but that does not mean they should go to stage unprepared to face the fear. To face fear you have to be prepared for it. If you have stage fear, then first prepare yourself and then make appearance on stage. It might not turn out to be a best experience but it will give you confidence to face your fear in future.

Even when I look back I recollect that I was too afraid of failures because I could not accept them. It hindered me from not only taking big decisions but also the calculated risks. I had that desire of starting my own company but convinced myself for the company job. The main reason for it was the risk involved and not getting approval of the mass. I always thought of indulging in tried and tested ways. I did not like venturing into the unknown field because of surprise element or shock element as I interpreted.
I got job in an MNC but the joining date never arrived because the company said we cannot accommodate more employees because of the recession. I was again unemployed and now the situation became dire because hiring was on halt in most of the companies. I searched for job for few months before landing in a small local startup. It helped me understand various intricacies of the business and how to run a company. The more knowledge I got the clearer the thought of starting my own company became.
After a couple of years I left that job and started working on freelancing basis. My decision was not approved by my family, friends and relatives. Freelancing was not easy at the beginning but that is when the stuff I learned in the company helped me. I implemented all the knowledge that I had gained while working for my previous company. After half a year my efforts were started paying. I was getting regular work from the same clients and even from the new clients.
This was the time when the desire to start my company was at its peak but the fear of failing stopped me. But the desire made me gain more knowledge about starting a company. The knowledge gave me confidence and helped me in overcoming my fear and I finally took the initiative and hired two individuals and rented an office. Initial months were unproductive and I had to pay them from my pocket. The decision was turning out to be disaster and the fear of failing was again breathing down my neck but it was time to rise above fear. I worked hard and talked to the employees and contemplated my approach all over and the result finally paid off. The wheels of the company were finally churning and within a year the company of 3 grew to 20. Profit rose exponentially and the company which started as small IT dream is ready to flap it wings and make its flight count.
If there is something that I learned from it was overcoming fear is the first step to goal.

Yes Or No To Premarital Sex Is Choosing Your Happiness

Premarital Sex is your choice
Via- http://junebugweddings.com/
Many individuals are in relationship and scratch their head on the question that whether they should indulge in any kind of fornication related activity with their partners. The answer is very uncomfortable for the Indian society. Sex is something that is been considered taboo and indecent. If you are in a relationship and have pretty much same thought about sex then it is better you take your time and indulge in it when you are comfortable with the thought of doing it.

Premarital sex is as natural as post marriage sex. When two individuals are in a relationship and feel the urge to express his or her emotions through touch then it is perfectly normal. Premarital sex is unnatural if your partner is not ready or you are not ready.
One of the most common thought that rise in minds of individuals who are in relationship is “what will happen if after doing it they break up?” The answer to this question is simple and tricky at the same time.
Firstly, if your relationship hit rocks and both of you do not find happiness with each other than breaking up is a good option and not letting the sex affect your decision. Living a miserable life just because you lost your virginity to someone, with whom you were in love at that time, is not at all an intelligent decision. Having sex does not make you bad in anyways. You have to understand the fact that if you are going to spend your life with someone then what should matter to you and your partner is you share a strong bond of love and happiness.
Now coming to a different aspect is the trust. It is a cornerstone of a relationship. If you love your partner and know that relationship is not because of sex but because of love then you can easily make a clear decision of doing it. If you have any doubt about indulging in such kind of act then it is better you wait. Just do not let sex affect you in any adverse way because, if you are not ready for it then you would blame yourself and make your life worse for yourself.
At the end, what matters most is your happiness. Saying yes or no to premarital sex is your personal choice. As far as I am concerned, I do not find anything wrong in premarital sex and I am ready for it.

Road Safety- Think And Dirve

Road Safety
Img- http://myownroadsafety.blogspot.in/2011/07/quotations-for-road-safety.html
Road safety is one of those topics about which a lot is being said and little is done. People blame government for the accidents and road mishaps, but they have to understand that it is people like them who drive and walk on the road.

Riding without helmet, driving without fastening seat belts are some of the most common traffic rule violations. When those individuals are fined for their ignorance they argue with the statements like “You didn’t catch that guy, see he is also not following the rules”. Such a behavior to point finger at others can never be helpful in improving the traffic. It is us who has to take the initiate to bring the change.
By following simple and easy traffic rules you can save your and someone else’s life too. There are numerous cases of drunk driving in which the sober victim has to pay the ultimate price. Useless honking while signal is red is not going to help in anyways in turning the red signal to green.
Many a times people say that they follow rules but it is others who don’t let them follow rules. It is one of the most untrue and vague statements. If someone is honking at you just because you stopped at red light does not mean you have to jump the red light, if someone is not using horn before overtaking then you don’t have to do the same and same is for all other situations.
Few days back I had an encounter while I was riding to the local market place. A guy from behind kept honking, not to mention with his extra loud pressure horns. I gave him side to overtake, which he did. He drove in a fancy manner through the relatively small streets. The street connected to the main road and as I reached that intersection I saw the guy standing with a police officer. Even I was stopped by the police but they left me after checking my papers but because he was not wearing helmet and had a fancy number plate which led him to a heavy fine. This time the violator just paid the price with the fine but same will not be case for many. For some fine would be their lives and is worst when such violators take someone else’s life.
With the big brands coming to raise awareness among people for the cause, the condition seems to be improving and there is a hope for a better traffic. Nissan Safety Driving Forum (NSFD) is one such attempt to raise awareness among individuals for safe driving in India. It has already reached 2 lakh individuals and growing strongly. The NSFD has covered various cities Mumbai, New Delhi, Chennai are few of them. We should also come out and make contributions to this event and make Indian roads a lot safer and driving on Indian roads safer.
