This book makes me go crazy....I love every aspect of it..most importantly, the fact that it tries to make: Your life is what you want it to be ...It is totally Your creation....Your baby!
I love the confidence and trust it builds ...and the perspective that it sets!
Initially, belief was kind of an issue...but when i look back..I realise....that my life actually has been...what i really and desperately wanted....some things that i kept on repeating to myself..actually happened to me.....in a very simple, unassuming manner...
Time....it took its own time..however..at the end of day..i got what i wanted...Imagine the power that we have....this book just set things into perspective...
Now i realised.. the age old " Think Positive" maxim makes a hell lot of sense...you think positive..you get positive....you can' be thinking negative and receiving positive...that's against the basic law of attraction of this universe!
Well.. this is what i have decided..i am gonna consciously try this out with something very strongly on my mind these days..and will share the results as well..soon!
Till then..take control...dream Big to achieve big..that's THE secret for you all!!

excerpt from OSHO!
If you can love, meditation will be very easy. The world will be more
religious if love is accepted, helped along, and love becomes a
natural milieu around you. Then meditation will be very easy because
you will know a taste through love of what it means to be dissolved,
even if only for a single moment. Then you can dare to be dissolved
for longer moments.
And if you can love, you will not be afraid of death. Lovers are
never afraid of death. And if a person is afraid of death, you can be
certain that he has not loved and he has not been loved. The fear of
love shows that the life has been without love. Lovers are ready to
die very easily. They can die for each other. They do not care much
about so-called life because they have known a higher quality of life;
they have known a higher life. They do not care about this life very
much.
But look at persons who have never loved. They will always be afraid
of death. Look at misers: they will always be afraid of death. And
misers are those persons who have not loved anyone because if you can
love a person you will never love money. Money is a substitute. When
you cannot love an individual, when you cannot love a live person, you
love dead money.
Misers, those who go on clinging to their possessions, are not even
acquainted with what love is. Their whole love has gone to dead money.
And why has it gone? There are deeper connections. A person who is too
much attached to money will be afraid of death. Really, a person who
is afraid of death will love money too much because money seems to be
a protection against death. If you have money you feel protected. If
you do not have any money you feel unprotected. Death can occur and
you cannot do anything. With money you feel that you can do something.
Money will be helpful.
A person who loves will not love money because a person who loves
will not be afraid of death. And if a person is not afraid of death,
there cannot be any clinging, attachment, mad obsession with money. It
is impossible. If you can love, then you will accept death very
easily. It will be a deep relaxation, a long sleep, a beautiful
dissolution into the existence. And if you can be receptive to death,
then meditation can be as easy as anything. The problem arises because
love is not there. When death has become a fear, then meditation will
be difficult because it is both love plus death. It is death as far as
your ego is concerned; it is love as far as the divine existence is
concerned.
I define meditation in a mathematical formula: meditation is equal to
love plus death – love to the existence, to the total, and death to
the ego. They are both two aspects of the same coin because you can
love the total only if you are ready to lose the individual. If you
are ready to die, only then can you be reborn as the existence, as the
Brahman.
Jesus says, ”Only if you lose can you survive. And those who try to
survive will be lost.” It is hard because you have not loved; it is
hard because you have not lived. It is not hard by itself. Meditation
by itself is very easy – a spontaneous phenomenon. If a human being
evolves naturally, falls into love, knows what love is, knows what
type of death and what type of life love is, comes out of it, knows
the taste of moving into and being in death, then he will love death
– not as being against life. Death changes the quality then. Then it
becomes the last point in life, the highest peak, the climax of life.
Then meditation is very easy.
Those of you who are ready to lose can understand it; it is very
easy. Those of you who are not ready to lose cannot understand it.

Beautiful Smiles!
Sometimes, when i look at these children at almost every red light in Delhi, the only thought that hits me is ...why them...why are they supposed to run like that in the hot and cruel summers of Delhi and the bone chilling winters...Why hasn't life been a li'l more kind to them..?
I get no answers...however, i do get abundant advise..on how should never give away money to them.."it is a racket, they take drugs..." and what not...My only belief while giving away these alms/food/water is when i am hungry, i enter a Ms Donalds or a Haldirams and easily spend more than 150-200 at a single time...so Would giving away rs 10 be too much???
Yes, i agree! that there would be children who would use this for all sorts of shit..however can that statement alone feed thousands of children standing out there in the heat?? May be not..may be there is a child who would value your 5 rupee/Food/water more than anything..may be he is hungry!
For all of those who do not believe in giving away alms..try a better option..next time whenever you have food in a restaurant, do not waste the food, get it packed and give away to somebody on the street!Next time whenever you eat an icecream and you see a child eyeing you..do not ignore him..let him have an Ice cream too...and next time when you some girl trying to sell you flowers at a red light, take it...it wouldn't do you much harm..but it might just make her and your wife/girlfriend/friends happy!
So here's to a beautiful tomorrow.for these children!

weird!
I am suddenly upto trying something on my own...i feel very weird..coz this was not something that ever featured on my radar! i was never to be an entrepreneur....never thought it was in my blood...i was always a job seeker..one who was happy with a good income coming home everyday...
I don't know what has changed? Why this sudden overwhelming feeling of being on my own..although this is still at the ideation stage..but the very fact that m thinking on these lines...is kinda weird..or may be different!
I could never be an entrepreneur coz generally people who start up on their own have a passion for a particular thing and they just go for it..but i have been different, not because i don't have passion for a particular thing but because i love too many things..i have passion for many things, causes and what not..that ways..it is pretty difficult to narrow down on any one "passion"..;)))
phew!!! but here I am..with these thoughts which are obviously more than random!!
Surely life is unpredictable...no point..in being possessive about it!!

Prof Mirchandani!
Hmm...
The day for me started with a news..Didn't like the sudden surge of SMs on FB..am suddenly upset to know about Prof.
So what have i do with Prof Mirchandani apart from the fact that he was a marketing prof at my college?why do i suddenly feel this urge to write...to share my thoughts?
Well, i don't know him much as a professor who taught a topic, but i do happen to have been taught by him,not a subect or a topic, but a very basic lesson of life...to live life the fullest and to ensure that you let people be!
So, once while randomly sharing a conversation with him on the essence of love marriages,he happened to tell me...that he got his daughter married to a muslim.( that, ironically becomes such a taboo for so many ppl in our country)..because that's what she wanted to do!adding to it, he said something that i would never forget.."What kind of a father have I been, if i have not been able to teach my daughter how to take the decision of who should she be marrying for herself?"........
Very simple..but how thought provoking! I hadn't heard something like that ever..i hadn't ever seen any parent trying to put across the fact that his child's life is his own and not the parent's! I hadn't seen this kind of trust that he had in his upbringing in anyone else........
What did i learn that day???
I learnt, to be myself forever, to let everyone else be themselves....to ensure that you take responsibility for your decisions in life and try not taking decisions for others....i learnt ..that life is worth living and is very simple...there's nothing complicated about it...it all depends on the way you take it......
and above all...i happened to realise that being unconventional takes a lot of courage...it has its own upsides and downsides....u gotta know the consequences of the same ....and most of times..it would turn out to be the most satisfying decision you ever took for yourself....!!
Whenever,these thoughts of trying something different surface in me...i know...prof Mirchandani might have a role to play.....miss you sir!!
The Prof might have gone, but his spirit lives on...through many of us...who believed in him!
