IPL ... ROYAL CHALLENGERS V/S KOLKATTA KNIGHT RIDERS

The match between Royal Challengers and The Knight Riders was in full swing. My son Nikhil, all of 19 years, a great Sharukh and Ganguly fan was cheering lustily for Colcutta team, being reprimanded by my husband Prakash who thought it unpatriotic that his son should be opposing the HOME team. My kid daughter Rashmi, who has just entered her teens was torn between the two “warring” teams, not really knowing whom should she support, was looking hopefully at me for some lead. Me??? Though my heart is with Bangalore, I have never been a fan of Mr.Dravid , always hating his aloof stance on the field, his uninspiring leadership and his somehow disinterested body language as a captain, felt greatly disappointed with the formation of Bangalore Team especially with the captaincy.

So whom do I support? My son cajoles me that I should always support a Good Team which of course means Sharukh’s and my husband like any loyal Bangalorean, bats for Royal Challengers.

So after a lot of deliberations, I have a taken a decision that I am neither for nor against any team. It is not as if my adreline pumps when Ganguly hits a six or I am greately affected when Dravid gets out, though I felt sorry for millions of Bangaloreans who must have been disheartened with the meek submission of their home team. Atleast a fight and a loss would have been a lot more solacing than this dismal performance.

So what lesson has this taught me?
It is indirectly a GUIDE IN ART OF LIVING for me….. AS LORD KRISHNA PUTS IT, “ WHATEVER HAS HAPPENED HAS HAPPENED FOR GOOD…. WHATEVER HAPPENING IS HAPPENING FOR GOOD……AND WHATEVER IS GOING TO HAPPEN TOO IS GOING TO BE GOOD……YESTERDAY BELONGED TO SOMEBODY….TODAY IS YOURS…….TOMORROW IS GOING TO BELONG TO SOMEBODY………..CHANGE IS PERMANENT……..” . So I will take it as it comes.

IF ONLY I COULD ADOPT THIS STANCE TO EVERYTHING ELSE IN LIFE !!!!!

who is the boss ???

A crow was sitting on a tree doing nothing. A rabbit thought to do the same and sat on the ground. A wolf came and ate it up ! Moral : To sit and do nothing, you need to be at the top !!!

Time..............

Have time? Read on.
Don't have time ? You must read this..
When God has given same 24 hours a day for each one of us, how can a person claim that he doesn't have time? You just observe.

The person who is successful and busy always finds time to do more things in a better way.It is the lazy bones who claim the lack of time!
So it is not the question of not having the time. Its only about having the right attitude..And knowing the art of time management...



IPL

IPL matches are going to start from 16th April. A great way of spending holidays cheering your team.....Your team??? Which team is yours??? When Dhoni,Sachin,Sourav ... all your favourites are split and yuvi is playing against bhajji .... I don't know whom I will be cheering... May be THE BEST TEAM or better THE BEST PLAYER........



JEEVAN IS A SAGAR

life is a sagar.an ocean..
it has pearls in its depth as well as sharks what one encounters may be his or her fate.
but when encountered with shark,one has to fight or evade it and when one gets a pearl, accept it gracefully and move on .
Ultimately everybody must learn to live in this sagar and make most of it...

ART OF LIVING

HOW TO SOLVE PROBLEMS?
A PROBLEM ALWAYS LOOKS BIGGER IN THE DARK.ITS BECAUSE OF OUR THOUGHTS AND INTERPRETATIONS.IN FACT WE ARE VICTIMS OF OUR LOGIC. WE WHIP OURSELVES WITH OUR POINT OF VIEW.
START LOOKING AT DIFFERENCES AS POINTS OF VIEW.HAVE FUN WITH DIFFERENCES. REPRESENT YOUR PERCEPTION OF DIFFERENCES MORE WISELY.CREATE SPACE WITHIN YOU FOR DIFFERENCES.DON'T LIMIT YOURSELF WITH YOUR POINT OF VIEW.EVEN IF SOMEONE HURTS YOU, GIVE IT ITS RIGHT PLACE.
THE QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE IS THE QUALITY OF YOU COMMUNICATION WITH YOURSELF.
