Critically Thinking About CONSENT

Yaminee is a soft-spoken well to do girl. She is too kind to condemn anybody, or to say no to any request. Her husband is a Senior Software Developer. Recently, her husband developed a mild conflict with her. What caused the problem? On a week end without telling about it to her, her husband booked two tickets for watching a night show movie of a popular Hero. Actually, that day from the morning, she was not feeling well and wanted to take rest for sometime. But, because she never used to say no to anybody, she went with half heart to the AC theater. She felt horrible of her situation.  Meanwhile, her husband had further ordered a Vegetable Biriyani which she did not like to have that time. Sober Yaminee avoided eating the food. Her husband got confused on seeing it. He asked why she avoided the food, she answered nothing. As she was keeping on silence, irritated husband erupted in anger.

We might have come across similar situations in our everyday lives, when one of our personal relatives such as life partner, parents, siblings, friends assume our permanent agreement in all they do. But opinions differ always. Avoidable conflicts arise due to one's assumption that one's close relations would say yes always in everything. If the other person don't agree and say no, we take it personally as rejection of ourselves. For the fear of hurting the loved ones, many say yes without the actual agreement with the idea. That gives room for resentment, unhappiness and conflict.

We should be open to accept one's disagreement. We should ask one's consent before taking confidence of the action itself. If someone directly says no to our idea, we should not take it as a personal rejection.

All social endeavors require the prior consent of the individuals involved. If we are open to accept people's consent, we can avoid lot of misunderstandings and needless conflicts. For that, we all should agree with saying YES for what one feels YES and say NO for what one feels NO. Such open mind relationship would be pleasant for all. We wish that all of us be happy and make happy all.

Critically Thinking About Fairness and Darkness of Skin Complexion

We all are averages - IN HAPPINESS. 


 In human experience, we all only average out each other. None is significantly high or less. We ALL CAN LIVE HAPPILY. We do live happily. But a needless issue of no value making people to feel bad about their own selves should be thought about critically.  What is that? That is the skin color complex.

False And Obsolete

People hardly believed Copernicus, when his book( De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres)) claimed that not the Earth but Sun is the center of the Universe in which the Earth revolves around the Sun. Because people visibly believed till that age that The Earth is the center of the Universe and the celestial spheres revolve around the Earth. For a fifteenth century European, it was a contradictory idea falsifying their existing beliefs about the reality. However, people understood that their belief was wrong and consequently in present age nobody would believe that the Earth is the center of the Universe. Earth center idea was false.

In the modern age, very few people buy a typewriter machine. Typewriters were very popular before the spread of computers in various organizations. But in the present age, type writers have become obsolete.

Most Indians are running a false and obsolete idea of skin color. Darkness is less attractive. And Attraction is very important social value. For instance, see number of  commercials which promise to change skin color within four weeks. Why someone should think to change his own skin color in the first place?

False Idea

 People with fair skin complexion were considered to have higher social status in India because of the indifferent practice of a false idea - sathur varnasramam(Bhramin, Ksathriya, Vaysya, and Sutra). Social classes were petrified  according to individual's  birth and business.  But the attachment of fair skin color with richness, higher education, higher sexual pleasure was an historical making of the modern times. When the British ruled and actively exploited India, the most affected were not the Rajas, Jamindars, Priests, but the ordinary people of India. Over 80 percent of the population before independence lived in abject poverty to the extent - an idly or a dosai was an annual festival meal for most of our fore fathers.

Rajas, Jamindars, Bhramins Lives Excluded from Poverty during Foreign Rule


The then rulers who subscribed themselves to the hegemony of British Raj, lived luxurious lives. Similarly, the all soft influential Priest community all over India were almost protected from poverty because of their exclusive rights on Education and all other soft skills originating from literacy.  These two social groups of India never undergone a serious problem of poverty in any generation. For instance, these communities had a cordial marriage relationships with the foreign rulers such as the Mughals.

Exclusive English Education

 During the British rule in India, the ruling and priest communities convinced the British government for exclusive education system which excluded poor people of India. Unfortunately, the British rulers accepted this ploy for some generations. This is how even under the foreign rule, Ruling and Priest communities gained a forward advantage - The Firsts to get educated formally and employed in various Government  organizations. This forward advantage helped them to gain mostly all socially influential positions and properties.

Obsolete Idea Now


Fairness - as a sign of Higher Education, Nurturing Happy Family, Physical Fitness, and Higher Sexual pleasure had evolved during British Rule period. But in the present, all these assumptions have become obsolete. One's skin color will not reveal one's education level anymore. One's skin color will not reveal one's economic status any more. And the skin color in no way related to the amount of sexual pleasure. We all average out in our lives. We all can live fairly an average happy life although we cannot live an equally happy life.

Nothing Wrong in Living For Self-Interest, If that would not affect the other fellow men


We do not have any resentment of the selfishness of our revered priests and rulers. Since, all people live for their own interests. But we stand for TRUTH, KINDNESS and want all to live HAPPILY. Visible failure of our Priests and Former Rulers in conceiving a happy life for us - ordinary people- should not become a resentment point for any of us. WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR OWN LIVES.

CALL FOR LIVING HAPPILY


You are regarded highly irrespective of your skin color, economical status, because you and I are brothers and sisters literally. Only LOVE accepts all. Only LOVE makes people HAPPY. I would like to call upon you to live a happy life and make happy all.

Critically Thinking About Social Cleanliness in India

Shame Shame!!!

 From November, 15, 2015, 1.2 billion Indians would be paying 0.5 percent Swachh Bharat Cess on all services now liable to service tax. For instance, each time you make a mobile prepaid recharge, you would be paying the National Government 0.5 percent tax. For what? For keeping the public places clean.

The only government in the world which levies taxes for dedicated purpose of keeping clean public places is our National Government. This is literally, a shame for the Indian society. Why?
Cleanliness is the visible sign of successful living. For evidence, visit the parts of Indian metros where highly successful people live and visit the parts where less fortunate people live - slums.  Failing to keep clean the streets, bus stops, railway stations, and such public places is the manifestation of lack of success in social life.

What are litter?

 Useless waste that has no more value such as a plastic cover of a Lays packet, Brittania Tiger Biscuits packet, old travel tickets, Wrappers of tablets, old broken water cans, printed papers such as mobile  prepaid vouchers are LITTER. People usually throw them on open places.

One throw = two times work


A piece of garbage thrown outside on open space, would make the garbage collector work twice the amount of work needed to clean the public places. If we strictly follow the habit of using the dustbin for eliminating garbage, our public places would remain clean.

Spitting & Urinating


Spitting on public places is a sign of foolishness. Only fools would manifest their ignorance so openly than a person who has an habit of spitting in public places. We all know, spitting makes the place unclean and unclean places become unusable to others. If don't care for others who will care for us?

Urinating on the side walls of compounds is another unclean habit. The lack of enough easy access RESTROOMS cause this problem.

Only Successful people can keep their environment CLEAN


All people who are clean are the only successful people.  Keeping clean your mind, body and the outer environment requires life time commitment from an individual. It requires willingness to work hard. So, if someone is clean, it tells that he is successful personally and socially. Commitment to cleanliness is commitment to life long personal success.

India is not rich country yet


Our nation remains poor for more than 3000 years. From generation to generation the poverty of the people is increasing and spreading. None of the leaders so far were able to eradicate poverty in India. None of them would ever be able to eradicate poverty. Because eradicating poverty is like ANT work. It requires the active participation of all individuals. Ensuring the success of all people is the most apt way to make India clean. I would urge you to resolve to help people succeed in personal life through active MENTORING. Be happy and make all happy!!!

Critically Thinking About Life Events And The Age Old Idea of FATE

What will happen in my life?

Ask this question to an expecting mother, "What baby you will get?".
Ask this question to an MBBS aspirant, "Will you definitely get a seat?".
Ask this question to a Fresher, "Will you get placed in that MNC?".
Ask this question to a sales man, "Will you meet the target today?".
Ask this question to a politician, "Will you win the coming election?".
Ask this question to a Fisher, "Will you get a bounty catch this time?".
Ask this question to an Actor, "Will this movie go well?".

A certain answer - "yes, I will _______" - none can give, because life events are uncertain. No man ever remains fully confident about his life. But, we all have certain dreams. To get one boy baby and next one girl baby. To get an MMBS seat and serve the nation. To get placed in an highly paying MNC. To sell all that we have. In general, a certain life to live happily. For generations, the dream for certain life never comes true.  Probably, it wont come true in any generation to come. By nature life is uncertain.

If life is uncertain, what shall we do about it? Shall we denounce family life like spiritual gurus or shall we live a wayward life like impulsive people - enjoy every moment, don't care for anything?  We all should critically think about our purpose of life. We all should pursue higher goals through higher means. But we all should understand that we are living an uncertain life.

Fate decides ultimate destiny?

If life is uncertain, who or what determines my life events - we all have this ever persistent doubt in our minds. And probably we may all have different different answers to that question. Some people believe that all that happens in their lives is a conscious decision of their own. Some people do accept whatever they encounter in life. Some people believe in FATE.

Fate believers believe that whatever happens in their life all were fixed already, because of which they take Horoscopes first and consult with a consultant when it comes to arrange marriage for their siblings. If someone young dies of fatal disease such as cancer, they invoke FATE as the reason. Many fate believers believe that getting a good job or not getting - is also according to FATE. For abrupt and fatal accidents also they invoke FATE as the reason. They believe that being born in a certain caste group is also FATE. What sibling and how many sibling they have or they will have - for all they ascribe to FATE as the controlling and commanding reason.

What do you think? Do you agree with the idea of FATE? Do you think all life events are already fixed? If we apply our mind to understand the meaning of human life in totality,  we could understand the truth about our life events. We have to think critically.

How life events occur?

At any amount of will power, you cannot stop the body from aging.
At any amount of desire, you cannot eat more than what your stomach can give in.
At any amount of will power, you cannot change the rising direction of the Sun.
At any amount of desire, you cannot eat for another person's stomach.
At any amount of will power, you cannot rise a dead man alive.
At any amount of desire, you cannot avoid death.
On observing these things, we should obviously agree that there is something called FATE which sets the limit for human endeavor. But FATE is not the reason for all.

At any moment of time, you can change the idea of how you should live -
what to eat, what to wear,
whom with to relate, what to buy,
when to consume, where to live,
how long to work, what to study,
how much to give to others, etc,.

These are actions at will. All willful actions can be changed at any moment of time. That is the choice we have by nature. But, we cannot escape from the consequences of our action. That is FATE.

Emotion and the universal law of Attraction

Emotion is essentially energy. We feel hard when harboring sorrowful thoughts, jealous,  anger, fear. But in happiness, we feel light and relaxed. Meaning each emotion has a weight and energy.

Like attracts Likes

And it is universally true with regard to feelings and thoughts that when in happiness we tend to recall the past happy events and when in sorrow, we tend to recall the past sorrowful events. Recall a sad moment on which you were singing sad movie songs sympathizing your life situation.  What we can infer from this tendency is our emotions attract similar emotions.

Thoughts become Action

As per our mental nature, we are forced to give in to our thoughts. On the conception of an idea, our mind is forced to execute it. For evidence, you want a good job and you know that you can get the desired job by only studying more. You resolve yourself to study more until you get the desired job. Hence, we can understand what thought goes in our mind, and what ideas we agree with and accept, we naturally tend to do it. Thought precedes action.

Life Events

Life events are bound within FATE but unbound by WILL. Connect with your true SELF. Love ever all. Try to  do what is good for all and to your self. Good thoughts will follow you wherever you go like your shadow. With good thoughts dawns the space for good actions. With good actions follow wonderful life experiences. Always give this world the best. Always be happy and make all people happy by your words and deeds.

Critically Thinking About Honesty In Social Life

It happens every day , we tend to exclude ourselves from responsibility

News hour debates criticize notorious politicians like anything live. We tend to drive moral satisfaction on the nagging questions asked by the news anchors. As Indians, we literally criticize politicians, bureaucrats, spiritual gurus, sports persons etc,. for their dishonesty in social life. But, do we only judge others and leave our own selves from any scrutiny?

Few dishonest things we, as common people, commit in our everyday lives


I come across several friends who watch pirated versions of movies, who do not show any sign of remorse for what they are doing.  Is it not dishonesty to not pay for the product we consume? Then isn't it the property of the film producer who spends millions to produce the film. As individuals, we are happy to watch pirated versions of movies.

Is it not morally wrong to watch pornographic videos, since it demeans the people who are playing the roles? After all, they are people like us who have life and sense. How many of us did not watch such videos, is it anyway honesty?

We all agree that consuming alcohol is bad for one's own self and his family. But why do most people consume in large scale? Is it morally acceptable to let the person live by his impulses?

If we ourselves cant remain honest in our private lives, how can the politicians, bureaucrats, and others who share the same social background can conduct themselves honestly?

What is honesty?

It is time for revisiting the meaning of social honesty and self honesty. Identify who is responsible for maintaining honesty. Who can remain honest. And on what social conditions, honest living becomes conducive.


Social-Honesty
A wife trusts her husband that he will not develop romantic relationships outside the marriage. As long as, the husband keeps his wife's faith he remains honest to his wife.
A disciple trusts his spiritual guru that he would keep the secrets and offer a spiritual solution. As long as, the guru keeps his disciple's faith he remains honest to his disciple.
A consumer expects the seller to sell only good quality product worth of his hard earned money. As long as, the seller provides only quality products he remains honest to his customers. Hence, we can define honesty in social relations, as the will to maintain the faith of people who trust. 

Self-Honesty
We all aspire to achieve something great in our lives. When we choose what goal to pursue in life, if we admit what is not our core strength as a weakness, we are self-honest. Self-honesty is being connected with the real self.

Loss of credibility is Loss of prosperity


People who loose their social credibility are in the path of gradual decline. See the state of several spiritual gurus who have lost their credibility, they lost their glory and nobody ever regained again the same.

Are you responsible for maintaining honesty?

A society is a collective construction. We all should take our individual responsibility to maintain the welfare of what we are a part and what we have helped creating. If individuals become dishonest, division and departure of relations follow. So, we all are responsible for maintaining the social honesty.

If I will get help, I will also definitely help others

 If people are ensured that they can accomplish their dreams with the support of others by honest means, why they would resort themselves to a self-destructive dishonesty? We as individuals should have faith in ourselves as well as others. We as individuals should generously support other person's good intentions. Simply speaking, take care of others success, you will also be taken care.

Mercy is the source of honesty

Materialistic thinking is merciless. It derives us to compete among ourselves instead of cooperating. It breeds jealous rather than love.  But all honest people are merciful people who can sympathize with other person's pain as their own. Honest people are the most satisfied and most happy and most respected people. We are living in a competitive materialistic world. To expect honesty is to denounce our greed for pleasure. Be honest. Be happy. And make all happy!!!!

Become a Critical Thinker, Become a Powerful Person

First of all, I would like to clarify that critical thinking is not about finding something wrong in other person's reasoning but it is about paying careful attention to evidences and arrive at right conclusions in everything.

For example, many people consider vegetarian food to be more sacred or sanctimonious than non-vegetarian food. Why do people think so? Some vegetarians say, because, non-vegetarian food involves killing animals and eating their flesh, it is merciless. But for vegetarian foods, people do not kill animals. Therefore, it's good. What sanctimonious vegetarians miss to understand is vegetarian foods also come from living things only. For instance, to eat rice or wheat, literally thousands of thousands of plants are being killed. Therefore, vegetarianism is also merciless in that sense. If killing is what making non-vegetarian food non-sacred, than equally vegetarian food is also non-sacred. Therefore, the truth is, there is no merciful consumption of food.

Critical thinkers tend to be open to accept what is truth. If they find any confirming evidence for claiming something to be true or false, they accept it openly. And essentially critical thinkers think from concrete evidences. They do not claim much on things they don't know. They say yes for yes and no for no, they avoid faking.

Being a critical thinker is a lifetime commitment. Since human life is multi-dimensional and dynamic, a critical thinker has to think from all dimensions of life to become truly a critical thinker. Therefore, becoming a critical thinker is a life long developmental process not an attainment over night.

Many people believe that knowledge is power. True, because without knowledge we will not be able to accomplish anything which gives us higher meaning. Now, if we ask what is knowledge, we would finally arrive at a conclusion that knowledge is knowing the facts - or in other words, knowing the truth. If knowing the fact is power, then thinking from what is true is the way to achieve that power. Therefore, critical thinking is powerful thinking.

A well thought out design can make a device or tool more useful and easy to use, such as an Apple iPhone. I openly invite you to buy the well thought out thoughts and ideas which will cherish and nourish your life. I invite you all to make a strong, no, strongest resolve to think critically about everything of life. And I would like to continue to bring those things which we have to think critically hereafter everyday.

Understand the Psychology of Success

The definition of success differs from person to person, but what remains in common among successful people is the way of thinking and the way of doing things. Abdu Kalam, Sachin Tendulkar, Sha Rukh Khan are few of the super achievers of our own time to mention.

Success means a lifetime fulfillment that comes from creating a sense of meaning in your personal life and work. And achieving material fortune alone is not considered as success. What differs from successful persons and mediocre persons is not the mental capacity but the way of thinking and doing things. Success in anything requires the following ingredients.

The Ingredients of Success :


  1. Self - awareness
  2. Self - direction
  3. Self - esteem
  4. Positive thinking and Optimism
  5. Self - motivation
  6. Self - discipline
  7. Positive relationships

Brief explanation of the success  ingredients : 


1. Self-awareness is paying attention to one's own thoughts, feelings, emotions, beliefs, attitudes, motivation, actions. It comes from constant self-observation. It helps to set achievable goals for an individual.

2. Self-direction is knowing what to do in life. All successful people have clear goals. At the instance of obstacles successful people do not retire from pursuing their goals.

3. Self-esteem is the confidence one has in one's own self. All successful people tend to have high self-esteem. High self-esteem persons are assertive, they are confident about their goals, ideas and freely express their feelings to others.

4. Positive thinking is a tendency to see the plus points of one's self and others. Successful people do not retire on occurrence of a set back. They focus on their strengths and pursue their goals.
Optimism is expecting good results from all. Successful people are positive thinkers and optimists.

5. Self-discipline is teaching the self to not follow the impulses but to pursue the goals. No people who have no discipline have never succeeded.

6. Self-motivation is determination to achieve the goal. All successful people are self-motivated people. They do not look at others to tell something to do.

7. Positive relationship is having positive people. No great achievement in the history human kind came from single hand. All successful people have positive people in life.

You can interpret your state of being and other people from the context of psychology of success. It will help you to understand your self and your life's direction. It will help you to understand how you are doing your work. It will help you to understand the importance of people in life and would help you to identify the way for maintaining your relationships. And it will also help you to realize the apt way of handling your children If you have any.

Mindset - Realize the way you and all others think

Mindset means way of thinking about yourself, your work, others, ideas, etc., For example, if someone wants to be thorough and perfect in whatever work he/she does - he/she is a perfectionist thinker.  If someone is averse to details and only listens to the bottom line of the story of something - he/she is a big picture thinker.

Mindset determines one's way of doing things. All people, according to their natural temperament, pick up certain kinds of mindset from the very beginning of life - childhood. But mindset grows with one's life experiences, it can also change over the course of the time.

Mindset can generally be classified into two types - fixed mindset and growth mindset. If someone thinks that the way something should be done is none other than the one they think to be right or validated by some authority. For example, an orthodox person thinks that marriage is prefixed by God and one should not marry outside his/her religion because difference of opinion can cause problems in the relationship - such a thinking is fixed mind thinking. If someone recognizes that there are multiple easy ways to earn money and live happily not necessarily the full time work schedules. Such a open acceptance of the truths, possibilities, facts is growth mind thinking.

Mindset consists of your beliefs, attitudes, values, opinions gained from your own experiences and opinionated from others. Fixed mindset is limited way of thinking, often works well with rigid environments only. But Growth mindset is conducive in any kind of environment and creates room for creativity.

Some Fixed Mind Thinking Examples in our daily life:
1. In many colleges and deemed universities in Tamilnadu, conversations between girls and boys is banned inside the campus. Reason is so obvious to mention.
2. In India, many people reject marriage proposals because of mismatch in Horoscope credentials. 
3. Many people avoid doing own business irrespective of the exploitative work environment, they are willing to work for others.
4 . Many parents do not  accept inter-caste love marriages because of prejudices.

Identify on your own all other fixed mind thinking in yourself and others. Progressively, to realize and eliminate fixed thinking would lead our lives in constructive path. I invite you to live a constructive and happy life.

How To Defuse The Communal Forces? Part - II

Among the computing devices man has ever invented, the Computer is the most powerful and useful. But, people who can understand it well, can also write programs to corrupt the system. They are called crackers. They write virus programs and malwares. Those computers are ever vulnerable of attacks. But fortunately, computer designers also developed counter technologies to nullify the viruses and malwares. These protective software is called Antivirus.

How does an Antivirus work?

Since viruses are well written computer programs and are written in thousands every day by thousands of crackers, a permanent one time solution cannot be developed out rightly. So, the Antivirus programmers employ constant vigilant mechanism to identify the harmful intrusive programs. They identify and create a database of virus definitions so that they can prevent the computer from future attacks.

Since communal forces would exist as long as societies exist and they would try dividing people as long as vulnerable social conditions prevail, one time permanent solution cannot be devised for defusing the communal forces. Instead, secular forces of the society should agree upon a vigilant and public reporting mechanism to identify and name the communal forces and to unravel the intention of the strategies employed by them.

For example, if a church is attacked by persons next time, which can be attributed to fringe elements, you should not take it as an attack of the majority on the minority. You should not become revengeful of the culprits personally. Instead, you should take it as an attack of someone who intends to attain power through wrongful means.

I would rather propose to create an Anti Communal Organization(ACO) akin to Anti Virus. The main function of the ACO should be to identify the communal forces, interpret the hidden meaning and intention of their activities, and to name them and to inform the society in regular basis.By neglecting the attempts of the communal forces altogether we could prevent ourselves from violence and loss of freedom. We all should live happily!!!

How To Defuse The Communal Forces? - Part I



Mohammad Aklaq a 50 year old Muslim resident of Dadri of Uttarpradesh had been lynched ruthlessly by a violent mob based on a rumor that he had consumed beef. The nation shocked on hearing the news. Astounding questions ponders relentlessly in people’s mind such as - What a man was murdered just for eating something? Where is this country going on?

Religious Minorities of India such as Muslims and Christians look in despair, they are frightened and had become pessimistic about their happy future and they desperately look for a way to stop these mobs who take the convenient cover of majority religion.

It is out rightly possible to defuse these communal forces with constant vigilance by an acceptable neutral body. A system cannot be overcome unless we understand the true nature of it. In the case of these destructive communal forces also, we need some basic understanding of the way they organize themselves.

Communal violence is prevalent in many countries. For instance, take our neighboring countries – Srilanka. The majority Sihnala politicians resorted to majoritarian politics decades ago affecting rights of the minority Tamils severely to the point that they were forced to take up arms to fight their own Government. Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal all have witnessed communal violence in the past and witnessing in the present also.

All these communal forces use identifiable strategies for mobilizing people in their side.

Vulnerable Social Conditions on which communal forces could thrive :

Let me identify some of the social conditions which these communal forces could exploit; so that you can interpret the actions of these communal forces next time on your own.
    1. Visible Economic Imbalance between the Majority Natives and the Minority. 
    2. Prohibitions against the majority by the minority in everyday customs such as having food, working, etc
    3. Broken personal relationships between inter-religious couples.
    4. Competition between businesses of people who belong to different groups.

      Strategies of the communal Forces to Divide People.

        1. Murdering innocents for not complying with the norms they have devised – for example, murder of Aklaq for not complying with the beef ban.
        2. Rape like cruelty against innocent minority women to provoke and divide the minority against the majority. 
        3. Destroying the commercial places of the minorities to weaken them economically.
        4. Relentless Ideological and false propaganda against the targeted groups.
        5.  Murdering dissenting people.

          Aim of Communal Forces

          The ultimate aim of Communal Forces is gaining ACCESS TO POWER/AUTHORITY through wrongful means.

          Why do you feel sometimes happy and sometimes dry and empty?

          We all have a natural tendency to expect to remain happy always. But very few of us experience life as a spontaneous happy field. Many of us do not understand why we are happy sometimes and why we feel dry and empty most of the times. Even though, we live with it and by it, we gain little understanding about the nature of our mind because of its dynamic nature. The mind we had in our childhood is not the same as the mind we have at the present moment. It grows everyday. Meaning, it changes everyday and we should not think the old understanding about our mind will suffice today. We have to pursue continued understanding of the nature of our own selves.

          However, some basic truths or laws governing the mind remain universally true for all times.  One such fact or a law can explain why you feel the way you feel all the times.

          "You feel what you believe and do."

          What you believe to be true about yourself and other people and what you do for that and them sets the plot for an emotional play inside your mind.

          Let me explain you with some life examples.

          Believing something to be true about yourself influences your mind.

          Routines are boring. One of my Software Developer friends, starts from home to work as early as 7am by train and returns home as late as 10:30pm by train.  Having a punishing work schedule everyday, my friend used to be quiet and dull in the evenings as well as in the mornings. One evening he looked very bright and enthusiastic unusually. I told him that he was looking enthusiastic, and asked why. He said, "Today is my wedding anniversary!". I then realized the reason for his enthusiasm. The thing is after that day, he has turned to be normal - quiet and dull as usual. What made him happy was that the belief that - "wedding anniversary is something special and for that we can be happy".

          Doing something- Action- good or bad influences your mind.

          One of my students got placed in a Software Development  Multi National Company after remaining jobless for more than 2 years. He was a laborious youth working very hard to settle down in life. But for the lack of something unidentified, he was unable to get a job. As I started to train him in advanced software development technologies, I found him to be a quick learner and fluent in English. But the thing is, because of the initial eliminations from interviews in the past, he apparently lacked confidence in himself of being recruited. One day, I assigned a difficult to do- development task and asked him to complete it by the same day. Astonishingly, he had completed the task with ease even before the timing at what I expected him to complete.  On that instance, I told him, "G...r...eat!!! You are definitely going to get placed very soon." He became very happy and because of that task completion and my feedback, he started to believe himself strongly.  He got placed in a big MNC company very soon after that. The point here is, I feel always happy about him and whenever he calls me and talks, I feel excited. Reason for my excitement - I have done a good job and he believes me to be great.

          Doing Nothing - Inaction - Influences your mind


          I should also tell you that not doing something good or bad influences your mind as much as doing something. I experienced the effect of inaction in my young age itself.
          Wanting to work but remaining Jobless for a period of time would be depressing, many of us would have undergone such an episode for quite sometime. I too believed that to get a job I should talk in English fluently, but at that time I could hardly open my mouth in front of people - I was shy to speak in public in English. So long a time, I remained jobless and faced the miserable social effects being jobless. The reason why I suffered is the belief that I have no enough skill and remained in a demotivated state of mind and consequent inaction caused me enormous untold emotional suffering then. I did nothing about getting a job - I suffered.

          Physical influence on Mind

          Finally, let me tell you one more point about your feelings. Your body influences your feelings as much as your mind. Particularly, not having enough sleep and nutritious food can influence your feelings. If you are not sleeping enough, all your mental functions - such as paying attention, information processing, decision making - would go down in quality. You would tend to feel impulsive. The will power would go down. And importantly, you might feel irresistible urge for sexual consumption ever more.  And also, not having enough food can suppress your emotions.

          Call For Living Happily

          Understand that being happy is an attitude and not natural state of mind.  Positive evaluation of self causes happiness. The natural state of mind is PEACEFULNESS. The stronger the resolve to remain happy and to eliminate the cause of worry, the happier you would be ever. BE HAPPY AND MAKE HAPPY!!!

          India 2015 - A Land Of Persistent Poverty Of Happiness


          This is an account of critical evaluation of the state of affairs in our mother land. Yes, there is persistent poverty of happiness all across the country. How do I say that, listen to the recent events turning up in our own days and you will understand.

          Let me list out the evidences of my claim one by one.

          Gujarat is the most well governed state which is most viable for doing profitable big businesses - this is what most Indians believed and the super human leader Narendra Modi has turned dry desserts into prosperous fertile lands - this what we were made to believe. But on seeing the support extended by Patels for the Hardik Patel's agitation for demanding reservation for Patel students and job seekers, we are perplexed that who is telling lie either Narendra Modi or Hardik Patel . Over half a million have showed up demanding reservation by demanding to degrade themselves from an upper caste list to lower caste list. If Gujarat is the most developed state, why one of it's most developed communities demand for reservation?

          Uttarpradesh is the largest state in population in the country even after bifurcation into two states. Recently, I have read a surprising news that for the post of around 300 peons which only requires school level education, the recruitment board had received some 2.2 million applications in which more than 50 applications were from Doctorates who completed PhD, and several thousands from engineering graduates. Why would most educated people confine themselves to under employ themselves?

          Unemployment, economic hardships are not confined to the states of Gujarat and Uttarpradesh, it is prevalent in all over India.  See, the most recently created state in India is Telengana. People immolated themselves for bifurcating Andrapradesh and creating Telengana, reason they advocated for dividing the state is regional backwardness of Telangana inside the united Andra. Why would people kill themselves for dividing a state in which they are not going to live?

          I hope you agree with my point. And finally, I want to tell you the reasons for our suffering and the way we experience our everyday life.

          The one most debilitating factor which affects our everyday life is the tendency to seek a sophisticated life. What are you shocked of my reasoning. Wait wait wait. What makes us to seek a government job  irrespective of our higher qualification? Government Jobs do not demand the employee to produce profits. Whatever the financial situation of the Public Sector Organization-even loss making organizations- pay without fail. But the situation in the private sector is not that much romantic. We all compete for the same slice of the bread because we don't know anything more delicious. So we are suffering.

          The private sector organizations in India are terribly exploitative such that even Computer Programmers work for extended hours for more than 10 hours everyday against their own will. The organizational structure demands an employee to lease out himself so that he may not have time to care his elderly parents or growing young children. No where in the world you can see such employees who knew that they are being exploited but accept everything meekly and suffer for the sake of their family's survival.

          What is the benefit?

          We live a most dissatisfied life on earth because of our own idea of life. Most Indians are diabetic - over 350 million people - most are anemic, under nourished, are some of the benefits of our idea of life.

          What is the solution?
          Stop competing for the same piece of bread. Become creative. Do business. For a creative business man, problems faced by the people offers business opportunity. How, as a business man if you understand the problems or shortcomings or needs of others and find a means to solve the problem - you are almost done with a new business opportunity. From that perspective, our nation is full of opportunities and offers you every chance to offer solutions. I call upon the young minds of our great country to give up seeking government jobs and take up the immense opportunities that are offering themselves.

          Let me list out a few problems - no - opportunities for instance.

          1. Solve the Language Problem -  People of India speak different regional languages but the Global environment demands them to speak English, but very few can fluently speak English in Rural India, anybody who visits a second state in India would understand the difficulty in communicating with everyday people. Devise an effective way so that the common language of India - English - can be trained easily.

          2. Solve the Transport Problem -  Very few trains run on time in India. Reason the railway is running the oldest technology in the Railway Transport Industry. For year after year they announce developments but there is no real achievement. Similarly, the other public transport means -buses are also in poor situation.

          3. Solve the Broker problem - Farmers produce but only the Brokers benefit. Farmers don't have a storage mechanism or direct contact with the consumers to sell directly. because of which farmers hardly benefit anything out of their hard work. Develop an effective mechanism to store and market agricultural products.

          4. Solve the Waste Management Problem - A nation of over one billion people produce millions of tons of solid waste every year. And there no technology yet for safely disposing the waste. Most rivers remain most polluted in our country. Devise an effective system to handle wastes.

          Observe and identify the issues and problems of our country on your own and try to solve them in an effective way - you are almost done in becoming rich. There is no happiness in poverty of thought. That's why we remain so dissatisfied for more than 3000 years in our mother land. It's a new era - yes era of critical thinking and creativity. Create Happiness. Live Happy!!!!

          Call Them Not Dalits Anymore, Hereafter - Call Them The REDEEMED


          Even millionaires who belong to the Schedule Castes of India, are identified as Dalits - meaning poor. Yes, the word Dalit means Poor Person . How on earth would a Multi - millionaire can be called as a Dalit? so ridiculus, isn't it?

          Caste oppression is a curse on the fellow men. It was agreed by our fore fathers unanimously to end such social ills and created an equal society by adopting a constitution. And in the present generation, people well behave with each other irrespective of the caste background. In fact, many have become relatives by marriage to formerly oppressed people.

          Meaning, caste oppression is not the guiding social behavior of modern Indians. Then I wonder for what good reason, we still identify the formerly oppressed people still Dalits/HariJan/SC? No, it's not acceptable. It makes the bearer of the community to put his heads down. Meaning reduced self-esteem. So, how can we call them hereafter, I got one better way - hereafter call them THE REDEEMED - the redeemed from the curse of caste oppression. 
          We no more ill-treat people by behavior or by words. We seek a happy and harmonious life.
          Be Happy and make all happy!!!
