प्रकृति तो हमेशा ही, मेरी सुंदर माँ जैसी है.

गुलाबी सुबह से माथा चूम कर, हँसते हुए उठाती है,
गर्म दोपहर मे ऊर्जा भर के, दिन खुशहाल बनाती है,
रात की चादर में सितारे जड़ कर, मीठी नींद सुलाती है,

प्रकृति तो हमेशा ही, मेरी सुंदर माँ जैसी है.

हरे पेड़ों से साँसे देकर, जीवन हमको देती है,
मीठा नीर बहा नदियों मे, हरदम हमें पालती है,
खिला के खूबसूरत फूलों को, जीवन मे रंग भरती है.
प्रकृति तो हमेशा ही, मेरी सुंदर माँ जैसी है.

Gulabi subah se matha choom kar, Hasate hue Uthati hai

Garam dopahar me Oorja bhar ke ,  Din khushhaal banati hai

Raat ki chaadar me sitare jad kar, meethi neend sulati hai

Prakruti to hamesha hi  , meri sundar maa jaisee hai.

Hare pedo se saanse dekar, jeevan humko deti hai

Meetha neer baha nadiyon me,  hurdam hame Palati hai

Khila ke khoobsoort phoolon ko , jeevan me rang bharati hai

Prakruti to hamesha hi , meri sundar maa jaisee hai

6 years back, I was being interviewed for my new job. I already cleared HR round and 2 rounds of Technical discussions. And it was next level of discussion. The interviewer asked me to tell my 5 strength. I replied with my 5 qualities, which I thought as my strength and one of them was Honesty. The next question was to tell about 5 weaknesses. Truly speaking, I was not prepared for this question . I took some time and replied back with my weaknesses. One of them was Honesty.

Yeah.. Same thing can be our strength and weakness as well. When we know our strengths, we use our strengths and very much depends on them. It is not necessary that we can use our strengths at every places. And some places, some qualities plays negative role and then it becomes our weakness..

I always felt that honesty is my strength. And like other followers of honesty , I think that I can achieve anything with it. But life is not so simple. We are surrounded by people, who do not understand meaning of honesty and want to achieve their goal by any means. When we start sharing our honesty with them, they take advantage of it and push us back. Even when we are close to achieve something with our honesty, they will take over from wrong side and snatch what we deserve to have.

Many places, I found honesty is appearing as my weakness. No one appreciate honesty , but try to penalize small mistakes which I accepted due to my honesty. People , those who are not very honest, hide their bigger crimes . And people happily accept them as nice people and sometimes getting rewarded.

For the same reason I say … Honesty is best policy, only if you have courage to compromise.

We all need to consider, when some strength becomes a weakness, then we must try to reduced our dependency and create some other strength.

At this point, I’m confused. Is honesty really a value for me ? or it will end me as a Looser

My hometown Indore is famous for Namkeen. We get very good quality and tempting taste Namkeen in Indore. All my friends and colleagues knows about it. Every time when I visit Indore, I get some Namkeen for my friends. I was working in Germany and was coming to Indore for a short vacation. One of my friend asked me to bring a pack of special namkeen for him. Without fail I bought a packet for him and he was very happy having it. Then he asked me how much he should pay for the packet .. I got it for him as friend so I didn’t want to take the money. But he was continuously insisting to take money and asked him to pay Rs 51080. He got shocked, but he knew that I’m joking. I immediately gave him calculation , Rs 80 for Namkeen and Rs 51000 for flight expenses to Indore. Then he said, he asked for the Namkeen only, why he should pay for flight . And my logic was that I didn’t bought that packet for selling .., if I have to sell then I should include all the expenses to get the packet till there. In the end , my friend smiled and happily accepted the packet for free J.

Looking from his perspective, he was trying to pay for the packet which he was receiving. But actually, he was forgetting that there are some efforts and emotions associated to get the packet .

This happens very often with us . We try to evaluate gift by its price and we forget the associated emotions and efforts required to get the gift . For me actual value of gift lies in the emotions and efforts and which are priceless.

Today, I received an awesome and Priceless gift from one of my Friend…. Two pebbles.  What made pebbles priceless .. the emotions attached to it.  The pebble came from holy land of Mansarover, my dream place to visit once in life time.  I asked her to bring these stones when she visited there last month. She had BP problem and she was having very hard time to survive there. She  had to cut short her tour , suffering from breathing problems. Despite of all these odd situations, she remembered my request and got those pebbles for me. I’m really so happy, not able to find any word to thank her for this priceless gift. I am planning to frame these pebbles in glass case and keep with me for rest of life as one of my BEST gift I ever had.

Gifts are pack of emotions, and should be return in same way only. Price of emotions can be paid by emotions only. No other currency can buy it . We should not try to pay money in return of gifts.

If we really want to return , then we should also give some gift in return.

Value of gift cannot be compared with its price, but can only be compared with the emotions involved.

Think of a celebrity, who is your best desire. You want to go for a dinner with him/her and it just remains a dream for you. And on just a normal day, you are driving alone and see the celebrity asking lift on the road … and you find the person sitting next to you.

Now what, are you felling happy about it … or you feel Sad because your dream has much more things than this .

We always dream very high, whether it is Dreams of deep sleep or Dreams created with Open eyes. When dreams created with open eyes, we create picking up all beautiful pieces , so whatever we get to realize out of this, should make us feel happy.

I also have several dreams and desires. Being practical and Understanding ground realities, I also know that living all our dreams is not possible. Some of things are in my control and some things are not. So I should enjoy each and every piece of my dream which comes my way.

Trust between two people is very important for any relationship. In professional relations, organization or group name helps to build the trust. But when comes to personal relations, it is solely depends on Individuals. I was trying to earn trust from a person , but I am failed miserably with every effort I tried. I have been getting the message , that trust is not a matter. But from my experience I know, when trust is there, relationship doesn’t need any other food to grow. And when trust is not there , we find other excuses to avoid relationship.

I felt very happy today, when person didn’t hesitate to take my help. It was a little piece of trust in me, but at least some trust is there. It might be a small thing for the person, but gave me immense happiness.

I’m not eyeing for all my dreams to fulfil, but happy with small pieces getting realized. So these small happiness is equivalent to treasure for me.

I don’t mind if someone call it madness , at least I’m happier than being sad for not getting bigger dreams fulfil.

We must enjoy every small piece of happiness, even if we have bigger dreams in eyes.

This is all good for receiving…. We must not forget other side of it .. Giving.

When it comes for sharing happiness, we mostly think that whatever makes me happy, only those things can make the person happier … And the fact is , it is not true most of the times.  Everyone thinks in different ways, and enjoys differently.

I purchase many toys for my daughter. Some are expensive, some are collectibles, some for good learning and some for fun. When we think from our perspective, we always thinks that expensive/big toys will give more happiness to kids.  But Sometimes she enjoy playing with balloon, which I can buy for very less price.  Every day when I reach home, she is asking, what you got for me today , and a hug makes her very happy . I don’t need to spend any money or energy to give her this happiness.

In My building, watchman is staying with his son. Every day when I take out my car, Watchman’s son open the gate for me. Neither it is not part of his duty, nor I’m paying anything extra to him. I just give him a thanking smile .. and I can see shine of happiness on his face.

We just need to understand, what things can make others happier. And  we can find lots of such things available with us, which we can share without any extra efforts. And for sure, we will also get lot of happiness in return.

Off course, we can’t make everyone happy . But at least, we can do it for those who make us feel great or happy.
