How To Turn Good Mornings In To Gold Mornings

Source

Gold morning is not really a morning that only the princes and kings enjoy in a bathroom made of gold with tooth brush made out of gold too. It is a thought, a thought about having a priced morning. A morning that is precious and noble like the noble metal gold.

For me gold morning is a morning where I would wake up and feel happy, clean and active. Gold morning is that mornings where when I wake up don’t worry about going out of work to work. Not just doing my same routine work without interest but having enthusiasm to indulge into the task assigned to me. It is about accepting life and letting you flow with the powers of universe.

A gold morning is one when I would wake up brush my teeth with amazing Colgate 360 charcoal gold toothbrush and with Colgate toothpaste. It is great to brush my teeth, tongue, cheek and gums with the brush and getting refreshed with the experience. After brushing my teeth it is about cleaning my mouth with the Colgate plax mouthwash and welcome #Colgate360GoldMornings.

After brushing my teeth toothbrush and the mouthwash it is time for a walk in the park right in front of my house and listening to the music of nature. It is something that soothes you. The air is clean and the wind is gentle. Listening to the sound of world as it wakes up. Seeing those birds get out of their homes and sing for the praise of the sun. A Walk with bare feet on the grass that is still wet from the dew of the last night. Feel lighter and pure as I look at the sky that is changing color from red to blue. It is about recognizing the beauty of nature and appreciating it.

After that spa like experience for my mouth it is time to hit the gym. Nothing is better than working out in the morning with full energy and feeling that energy running down your body throughout the day. Running down the treadmill and lifting those weights and sweating out all the laziness from within.

After working out at the gym it is about heading towards kitchen to prepare my breakfast. Cut onions and tomatoes for the omelet and toasting the bread. Once done with that, it is time for my glass of milk with a spoon with powdered chocolate.

Sitting on table and digging into the breakfast that I prepared and enjoying the perfect taste of everything exactly the way I like it.  It is a perfect gold morning for me that would elate my soul. 

Ratan Tata- Impactful Person

Source

Ratan Tata is a person who is respected not just in India but abroad. He makes our nation proud. He is one of those individuals who have done not just one but many great things in his life. Under his leadership Tata group has reached new heights.

One thing that makes so great is the humility. He is just so simple and does what he feels right about. There is one step that he took for the individuals of the country which I really appreciate. That step is launching a car that would create a new all together. That car is Tata Nano.

The idea was to make the travel of the individuals in the country safer. There are number of accidents that happen on two wheelers when there are two pillions behind the rider. It becomes really unsafe when a couple is riding through the busy streets with a few year old babies. They keep the life of the entire family at stake.

The idea came to Ratan Tata for making an affordable car for the common man of India. They wanted to keep the price of the car as close to that of bike so that individuals can enjoy their safe drive with entire family. Such a thought behind the creation of the world’s cheapest car and then making it into a reality is really something that needs to be applauded.

The idea of make an impact lives of many and offering something to society for their good is what makes this group and this man a truly great individual. When I hear the word Ratan Tata I can imagine a person with great integrity and vision. You admire him and respect him for what he is.

What makes him one of most respected individuals of the country is the way he goes about his business. His honesty and commitment for the society, for the country is just great. He is not only a good human being but a great businessman too. He identifies the opportunity and makes decisions which are profitable for him and for the society. His vision and intention to innovate makes his character. He is role model for many and various business houses follow his business ethics.

What make him such an impactful person are the attitude and the intent with which he carries his business forward. He was able to create impact on life of many individuals because he believed in what he did and had a plan to execute it. He had the resources and he used those resources to realize the dream he had. It was his vision and with that vision he created impact on the society.

If you know of any individual whom you find impactful then you can mention his story in the comment section below.

Navigate Through Impactful Hobbies For Peppy Fantastico Muiscal Life

Source

Hobbies are those things that make you feel alive and kick the stress out of your life. When we work on the something we love without any thought of reward that is when we give it a touch of our being to it. Some people like reading while some like to write, for some staying outdoors is fun while for some indoor is more awesome.

Hobbies do not only work as stress buster but it can also help you do some networking. It helps you create connections with individuals without any monetary interest. When you meet individuals who like the same thing you love to do it elates you. There are many great stories about love and friendship that started with such common interest called hobbies.

When you are indulging in what you love you become yourself and you should become that more often than not. I have seen individuals who just work day after day without paying attention to them and end up getting frustrated from their job. As they say “all work no play makes Jack a dull boy” becomes a reality of your life.

If you don’t want to be that dull boy and be happy, peppy and enthusiastic then indulge in the activity you love to do. It can be anything from dancing, sketching, writing to even chit chatting with your friends or going out for a walk with your four legged friend.

My hobby is playing guitar and I love it. I love it because the power it gives me to communicate my thoughts to other without words. Music gives me that inner peace because when I strike a chord or when I play a tune I feel more alive and energetic. I don’t just feel as if exist but I feel as if I am alive. When I sit and jam with my friends, we don’t need words to communicate our thought to each other because for that we have our instruments.

Hobbies are fantastic; if you have travel as your hobby then you can easily understand what a fantastico experience is that. Exploring new places and being you without caring much about surroundings. Not paying attention to what people will think, to be away from all those judging eyes.

There are also individuals who make their hobbies as their career but it not always easy to do that. To make a successful career out of your hobby, you got to plan your actions well. You got to navigate through the odds and take the decisions that are beneficial for you and help you grow.

Whenever you feel bored and frustrated just think about the stuff you love to and make you happy. If you are not good at it then learn it and do it. It is bound to make you feel great and give a whole new dimension to your life.

Impact Of Love

Source

I was waiting at the bus stop for the bus to arrive. It was raining and I was getting late. I gazed at my watch and then at the road. There were many individuals like me at the stop who were waiting desperately for the bus to arrive. Finally the bus arrived and people pushed each other to get into the bus that was always already almost full. In the hustle someone’s hand made my specs fly without wings. I got out of the way of the crowd and searched for my specs but was not able to find. Then suddenly I heard someone call me from behind. It was the sweetest excuse me that I ever heard in my life.

I looked back and there she was. An angel partially drenched in rain with wet hair sticking to the cheek. She handed the specs to me, which cracked a little. She said she would pay for it. I asked why you would pay for it. She said it was she who made my specs fly. I said its okay but she insisted. I said okay.

Then again there we were standing at the stop and waiting for the next bus to arrive. We started talking to each other and exchanged few general questions. She looked so innocent and cute in the yellow Salwar Suit she was wearing. Then the bus arrived, we boarded the bus and reached our offices.

We almost met daily at the step and soon became good friends. We exchanged phone numbers and it became a routine for us to talk on phone and whatsapp. We would wait for each other at the bus stop and go to office in the same bus.

I was smitten. I loved talking to her and then came 14^th not of February but of September. I said what I felt for her and she blushed and replied that she felt the same way. I was ecstatic. We spent our nights talking to each other.

I loved every moment of beautiful relationship. Sometimes I wonder what life would have been if that day it wouldn’t have rained, if there wouldn’t have been so much rush, if she wouldn’t have banged my specs off my face, if she would have been a little late. There are so many ifs but what happened has stayed me forever and I will cherish it for life.

I never believed much in destiny but when I look back at the incident, I feel that it surely exists. It is been five years and next month is our first marriage anniversary. How that impact on my specs made me fall in love. Surely sometimes an impact is enough to strike that tune of love in your life.

This is how an impact introduced me to love of my life.

A Great Impact

Source

In our life we hear stories about individuals who impact lives of many. They are the game changers. They are those individuals who change the course of history and make a drastic change in lives of many individuals. What drives those impactful individuals from within? Is there a secret recipe that makes those individuals impactful?

Before answering the above question I would want to you to ask yourself have you done something that has impacted someone’s life. We all indulge in some activity or other in life that impacts life of a person or few. What those impactful individuals do is amplify that effort to make a change in the lives of many. They make an effort and don’t stop when they fail to create any kind of impact.

If those individuals would have quit their crusade for what they felt right about, would they have achieved and have made that change, made that impact on lives of others. They believed in what they did and never backed out and bothered about what people felt about their choice and actions.

Those individuals had dedication for their thoughts. They worked hard, day and night and tried when they couldn’t see any outcome. This is what makes them different from others. They lead they don’t quit and always stay motivated. They don’t indulge in the act for fame or to become great but they do it because they feel right about it.

If Gandhi Ji wouldn’t have faith in his thought about non violence and would he himself been doubtful about it then would he have been able to make others believe and create such an impact on others.

The problem with many of us is that we don’t begin in first place. Many of us are too lazy to take that first step. We always end up blaming life and situations but those are the excuses that we give to ourselves. If we would really want to do something for the society or for ourselves then no if no but would be more powerful than your will to do something for yourself or for the masses.

If you have a dream then you got to preserve it, you got to nurture it, you got to make effort to bring it into the real world. No dream becomes reality without doing anything. It becomes reality when you start to make an effort to realize it. Those impactful individuals make that constant effort. They fight the odds. They preserve their dream. They look out for ways to make their dream a breathing reality. Their determination, their will, their never say die attitude makes them the impactful lads.

If you got a dream or if you want to have great impact then start and don’t stop till you reach your goal.

Music Show- My Take

Source

There is a trend in Indian television and that trend is something that I only appreciate at a certain level. That trend is of reality shows. It is okay as long as it does not employ shameless selling of emotions for TRP. There are certain reality television shows that do employ human emotions for TRP but those shows are also scripted, so it does not bother me much. But the problem comes when such TV shows use the great art of music and sell that art for TRP.

If the shows are judged upon singing and the knowledge of music of an individual then it is perfectly fine but what happens is the contestant are selected more often on how much TRP creating content they can generate.

How many times have you seen individuals of age 35 or 40 singing in reality shows as a contestant? I guess the answer be never or may be once or twice. What does that refer to? Does that mean that if you are not young enough or old then you are not good fit for the music industry or they have generalized that individuals who does not belong to the category of twenties are not good singers or don’t have sense of music.

These are some of those things that bother me when it comes to singing reality shows. How come you always have a sob story, a proactive guy, a possible couple in the contest? The crowd that comes to watch these shows is paid and sometimes the individuals who just go to watch the shooting are treated as paid crowds and asked to follow orders.

One more flaw that I feel in these contests is the voting. If you think people can judge music and singing and all the technicalities of music better than the individuals who are masters of that field then it is utterly flawed technique to pick a winner. There are many runner-ups from various seasons who have made a big name in the industry just by their talent.

I cannot deny the fact that such reality shows haven’t given anything to the industry but these shows are becoming concentrated on the TRP and make it a seem more like a drama rather than the reality show. The stories being weaved to get more viewers and to make it seem more like a drama is something that irritates me.

I am not an expert to comment on the shows but as a viewer, as a common man I find these things irritating. We need more reality in reality shows rather than scripts. More pool of talent and people from different age groups to make these shows seem credible.

I hope in the coming years we can see some really credible reality shows for the music.

Peppy Awesome Sisters

Source

All those individuals who have sister can understand and relate to this post very well. Sister is one who understands you and fight with you over pity issues. She is the first friend of opposite gender that you make. Sisters are fun to be with and are totally different creatures all together. They will always pull your leg but would stand by you no matter what the situation is.

They are peppy and full of energy. When they are home they make the whole house come alive just by their sheer energy. They are often referred as the light of house, which is true. When they are there the house shimmers with beauty of their vibrant light and when they are not there it seems more like a structure erected from concrete.

When I was a kid we used to fight a lot and many a times slippers could be found flying in the room during those fights. I miss those fights and those meaningless laughs that we used to have when we were kids.

I remember an incident when I was in class 12^th, we were having dinner and I don’t know what in the world we were thinking but we looked at each other and got out of chairs and did some crazy dance steps and then settled at our seats and continued our dinner. There are countless such memories that I have with my sister.

Sisters are full of life and become identity of your house. They are awesome and coolness personified. When you would be small they would carry you in their arms and would care for you. When you are elder they will irritate the hell out of you. They are so adorable and lovely.

Many a time we understand their value in our life when they leave. Those are the times when we realize what they were and why your house is not same as it was. You understand why your house feels so empty and why there exists a void that you cannot fill.

Sisters are crazy and peppy and no matter what they do they do it with so much enthusiasm and energy that you are bound to join them. She would be by your side and would understand you and your problems. Whenever you see her you feel joyous. You just simply cannot get angry at her for the stupid and idiotic things that she does. Even if you get angry you cannot stay mad at her for long.

Even after marriage when she would come home and you would feel the same energy and the whole house gleaming with her light. She is the powerhouse of happiness and sometimes you cannot just help and be mesmerized by her. Sisters are one crazy peppy being whom we love from the core.

Dear sister thank you for all the awesome times and the beautiful memories, you are truly a rock star for me.

A Fantastico Trip

Source

It was august and my friends and I were standing at a tea stall discussing about general topics and having fun altogether that is when we decided to go for a trip. We were hunting for a place where we can have fun and relax at the same time. We wanted to get away from the city life. We all wanted to go to a place where we can enjoy and also spend some time with ourselves in the silence.

The place was fixed; we planned to go to few beaches of Konkan. Four of my friends and I set out for the trip the following weekend to the beaches. Mayank, Niket, Aditya, Abhishek and I booked a car and began our trip.

We left Pune at 6:30 in the morning and drove our way from village to village with the aid of google maps. We also took couple of wrong turns but veered back ourselves on the right track. We reached Tamhini Ghat and it was really beautiful. Clouds were running parallel to the road and the whole ghat was green. There were also various falls that were visible on hills because of the recent rains.

We stopped at couple of locations to enjoy the scenic and fantastic beauty of the lush green ghat. We drove through the ghat and had snacks at a small shop in a small village. We again drove for few hours and finally reached our first beach.

It was serene and the place was also not very crowded. It was a treat to watch. We rushed to the beach and took a dip in the sea and spent the entire day having fun on the beach then came the night and it was all calm. We could feel the cool delightful breeze blowing across our face. It felt like mother’s hand caressing your hair and you start to feel relaxed. All of us took time for ourselves and spent some time strolling on the beach feeling the touch of waves on feet that were coming harmonically to the beach.

Lights of boats in the vast sea seemed so small yet so determined. We didn’t even come to know when hours passed and how we lost ourselves in the sea just by standing on the shore. I remember every bit of that fantastic trip clearly.

After the stroll all five of us set for dinner and the food was just impeccable and the company of good friends and old stories makes everything taste better. After dinner we walked on the beach and discussed life, future and made plans.

Without doubt I can say that it was a fantastico experience. The memories of the trip are etched in my mind as if it happened yesterday. It was really an awesome trip and I am glad that we planned it without any second thought.

Musical Life

Source

Have you ever wondered what our life would become without music? How mediocre and boring it would become? It would become nothing but a dish that has no taste. Our life is a song and music gives it rhythm. Music had deep impact on various culture and life of individuals.

If you are feeling sad and tired and listen to some soulful music playing in background then it is bound to make you feel lighter and better. We start to feel the music and that is the time it starts to work as a therapy for us.  

For me music is a very important aspect of life. It helps me think straight and come out with better conscience about myself and life. It unlocks the areas of my mind and helps me think about the life in a straight way. It gives me an insight of who I am. With music I can realize and accept the life with a better understanding. It helps me in bouncing back to life after a setback.

Music is the soul of the song called life. Without music life would become so quiet and so monotonous. It would be like just living life and not enjoying it. Like how life has various emotions in the same way music also has a lot of emotions.

Music gives you power to be yourself, to express, to connect without words. Music is has language of its own and you cannot ignore this language. To understand this language all you need is heart.

When I ask individuals what kind of music they like they reply it depends on their mood. The reason for why it depends on their mood is simple, which is that, when they listen to the music they can relate to it. When I get agitated and angry I just to blast my ears with the heavy metal and when I want to enjoy solitude I just let some soulful instrumental melody play in background.

For me the choice of music also depends on the hour of the day. If it is early morning then I would avoid hard and heavy music instead I would prefer some delightful tunes while when its late night I would love to listen to some soothe and instrumental music with which I can immerse myself in the thoughts of mine.

Music has so much to offer you. It is a universe where the only language is music itself. It has so many dimensions, emotions, expressions that you sometime you lose yourself in the mesmerizing beauty of the art. It is a way of life. Music controls my emotions and in the same way it also helps me letting out my emotions. The beauty of it is lies in the depth of the tune and the intent of the artist.

I would love to hear your view about music and if possibly few of your favorite music pieces.

Navigate To Set Your Path Straight

Source

Many a time we feel so tired and so bored from life that we get stalled at one place and life starts to become meaningless. The reason for that is simple, which is that you have stopped navigating. Life has so much to offer to you but when you settle for something that is the time when you start to feel stuck. Navigating in life is does not mean that you should go and climb mount Everest or leave your job and learn something new just for the sake of trying something new. It is more or less related to the intent. When you intend to become something you are not, you start to perish. That is the time you start to feel bored and stuck.

Give your life a meaning. Indulge in small but creative work. Keep moving because as they say “Rolling stone never catches moss”. To be moving in life is something that would help you grow and recognize yourself and your life better.

Navigate out of the ocean of mediocrity and embrace the sunshine of creativity. Be creative in your work. It is not always picking an art and learning it. If you are picking an art form just for the sake of learning it or just to be labeled creative then you are still stuck on the same path. Try to read something new, try to spend time with yourself and learn more about you. Observe your surroundings. Help a person or an animal that is in need. If you are free and don’t know what to do then there are various DIY (Do it yourself) projects. You can indulge in so many things.

It is not that you should not earn during those time, you can earn that time also. If you are in IT industry like me and love too code then there are various website that organize coding contests, where you can participate and earn. In the same way if you think you can sketch well and your job is also related to sketching then there are various websites from where you can pick a work of your choice and do it.

What it takes is the intent to navigate, the intent to navigate to the path of growth, so you can become better than you were before. Recognizing the need to be in motion and working on it is what is defined as navigation. Sailors don’t navigate in the seas without intent. They have intent to reach land, they have that intent to sail across the horizon and reach their destination.

You are the rower of your boat, so pick up those oars and navigate through the various rapids and storms because at the end it will not matter how beautiful your boat is but where your boat has sailed.

Anurabh's Impactful Life

Source

Have you ever met an individual who have had a great impact on your life? I had one such friend who had really great impact on my life. His name is Anurabh. He was my classmate in engineering. He was jovial kind of person and always ready to help anyone. He was full of energy and with him you also start to feel positive and energetic.

We became friends in 3^rd semester of engineering. We would go to new places and explore the city together.  Soon we became very good friends and that is when one day he shared his life story with me. Anurabh’s dad expired when he was in 7^th standard. Everyone from his paternal side blamed his father’s death on Anurabh’s mother. It was until his 12^th standard when he along with his elder sister and mom was asked to leave the house. They pleaded but their uncles did not listen even once to them. They were not even given share of their wealth.

They came to my city and started living with his mom’s brother. His mom started teaching in a local school, while his sister completed her graduation from the state university. He took gap of one year before joining college because he did not want to burden his family with the fees of his sister and his college education. He took tuitions and whatever he earned he gave it to his mom. He would take coaching batches for eight hours a day.

When he joined college, he would come to college and finish all the assignments and work on time then catch bus to his place and again would teach students for 3 hours straight after that and have dinner. After that he used to study for engineering and in the morning he would wake up early and exercise.

When he was in 2^nd year of engineering he used to take tuitions of those engineering students who were in first year. He continued this routine till 7^th semester and that is when the life turned uglier for him. His mom died of cancer during the beginning of the semester. He was devastated but salute to the guy. He not only picked himself up but continued to be same jovial and energetic Anurabh that we knew before.

He taught me one thing that life will give you thousand reasons to cry but to smile even one reason is enough. Whenever I face any issue in my life, I just try to be like Anurabh. He was really one from whom I want to learn a lot. He had such a great impact on my life and I wish someday I would also become something that I start to impact life and give it a new meaning, the way Anurabh did.
