I Blog When I Blog :)

A small Zen story:
A king went to a Master, and asked: ‘Master how can I become enlightened? Tell me about all the practices you do. What did you do to become enlightened? Please teach me’.
The Master says: ‘Oh! I eat when I eat; I sleep when I sleep. That is all I do’.
The king could not understand.
The Master explained: ‘When I eat I only eat, I do not do anything else when I sleep I only sleep I do not do anything else’.

I read this story some 15 days before , thought of blogging that time only. But thought that I will try myself first and write about it. I put a remainder in my mobile like "I EAT WHEN I EAT , I SLEEP WHEN I SLEEP" !!!. Every day i was remanding about this 6 to 7 times :). When ever I seen this remainder I use to start work one thing at one time and concentrating. Concentrating on one thing at time and giving 100% of my effort on that is really its working great and i am enjoying task also. I am able enjoying the every moment of that work. I was distracting with so many things , but my mobile use to keep me reminding about this "simple thing".

Multitasking , parallel work, this are all good for machines not for human beings. We should involve ourself in the act, which we are doing. This will set your inner soul in motion. It is not the only the work ,even any act you do, just concentrate on that and do. Simple act like brushing your teeth in morning :) . Involve totally yourself while talking with some one, it will make your relationship with that person strong.

Really its a simple method for great success in our life. Just "Do One Thing At One time".

Thats why I Blog When I Blog :)

Don't fall in love , Raise in love !!

Why always people say that "Fallen in love" why not we "raise in Love". There is always good or bad about any thing. But it is the way how U look at thing. We can rise in love by learning and keeping in mind below things ..

Expectations

Most of the time Love hurts because we expect Love or something in return for loving someone , don't do that. There is great happiness in giving love.Love is not business to get something return.
Keep in mind that not every body will love in the same way you love them , they may have the different way of expressing that . No need to express your love always to u loved once.

Best one For Love

Another reason why people get hurt is that , they think that person whom they love is best in the word and they can't get one more person like this again. They feel that its greatest disaster in there life if they loose them. Don't worry there are lot people whom U can give love.
Feel great that U had fallen sorry rise up in love :) and had great experience which lot of people doesn't had. It sweet and pain feeling :)

Learning from Love

Learn from your loved once. I learned lot for thing from my love and also changed or improved lot as person. U know one thing when U are in love U listening to your heart completely nothing else. This make U realize what is the power if U keep your heart in some thing or some one..
Feel proud that U are the person had feeling of love and also got love from some one. Always rise from love.

Keep moving in life... Don't keep waiting for some one , don't know what all you miss while you are waiting for someone !!!

Happy loving :)

I Love U Raghu :)

There is one good quote about the self love its like this " Love yourself, for if you don't, how can you expect anybody else to love you?”.
Think for a moment , how many times in a day you thinks about your self , about your emotions , about your body ? or how frequently you think about yourself ?
Do U loving yourself ?.

What is self love ?

Accepting yourself as it is. Thinking that " We are the powerful beings capable of creating joy and success or pain and suffering in our lives". And self love is not the selfishness. Self love will lead to the positive think and makes great human being.
People who doesn't love them self will always cry for others to love , and also thinks that nobody is there to love them. Usually they feel alone.

Some advantages of the self love are

We can be ourself, no need to impress any one.
And U can love and take care of U any time and any where. No expectations from any body .. This is the major advantage, since lot time we will get hurt due to which our expectation are not met by some one :(
As the time passes it will build as self confidence and self respect will be build.

Remember we are going to spend most of the time with ourself not with some one. Thats why spend time for your self , all the great battles in life has to faced by yourself alone.
Spend some time daily thinking about how to improve urself , how to love urself , how take care your self , And what makes happy very much..

Below are some of the good quotes on the self-love importance

Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it.
You must love yourself before you love another. By accepting yourself and fully being what you are, your simple presence can make others happy.
To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance.

And finally I LOVE RAGHU :) :) :) ...

I LOVE U :( ... I HATE U :) ...

LOVE and HATE are two faces of same coin.

Its always pain to say I love U :( to some one. The moment U say some one " I LOVE U ". They start questioning Why , From When , Why me ;) What did U like in me !!.
And if U really love some one , U will not have answer for those questions.
That's why people afraid to utter those 3 words , because we need to answer those questions.
I just thought why we afraid to say I LOVE U . The moment U fallen in love , u start thinking about the loved once. This point where pain starts, first time U stop thinking about your self.
And also its destroys your ego ,so that's why it pains lots. And because the transformation is going to be from the self towards a state of no-self, agony is very deep.
This are emotional part the LOVE game. Now come to practicality of why afraid of saying I LOVE U :)

First reason may be U will get the slap !!! How funny if say I LOVE U , U will get slap. There is also fear of rejection.
Second reason is LOVE is the most redefined and polluted word. People always say whom we have to love , we created boundary our self to Love like caste , age, rich-poor lot more.
So we have to love those whom society accepts. This makes people afraid to say I LOVE U . Should think 100 times before breaking the rules. Should have guts to face the society and also failure if happens.
And last reason which i know the fear of the unknown, the insecurity of the unknown, the unpredictability of the unknown, makes one very much frightened. We start whether loved one will adjust with me , or will they too love me . Like all questions will come.


Now fun part is saying I HATE U :) . I can go to any person and say I HATE U :) . They may say they too hate us ;) .
No one will teach us whom we should hate . Even society also not defined to whom to hate. We are free hate any one !!!
We can hate any one for any silly reasons. HATE is purest word, which not polluted by any definition. So it is easy to say I HATE U :)


So think about , which one U want to say now !!

Today Is Last Day :)

Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.

I thought about writing this post , after i seen the video of dying professor Randy Pausch who gave the lecture on "How to Live Your Childhood Dreams"
( http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5700431505846055184 ) .

I don't have any personal experience about death :) , even not encounter also. I am not writing any philosophical thing on death here. If U are interested in philosophy read Kathopanishad which is an ancient Indian scripture that addresses the reality of death and the dimensions beyond death. I am writing just positive sides of Death !!

We talk about lot about live but not about die !! . Even we forgotten that some day we are going to die. No one wants to die, even if they wants to go heaven !! .

"DEATH" is ultimate truth on this earth, the destination which we all share. "DEATH" is highest level of metrics to show how much like some thing. "I DIE FOR U" is more stronger than "I LOVE U" ;) We die everyday for money,work,prestige,religion,caste,language and this list grows. Due to this we are not thinking about our real death !!

Below are summary of some articles which talks about "Death in inspiring way".


Death and life are two polarities of the same energy, of the same phenomenon. Death is not the end of life; in fact, it is a completion of one life, the crescendo of one life, the climax, the finale. And once you know your life and its process, then you understand what death is. -- OSHO

The below is part of Steve Jobs (CEO ,Apple Computers) , talk given to students on their graduation day.

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.


Good inspiration to all of us :) As i told in the beginning of post "live as if you'll die today" . Then U can know worth of the LIFE .Die each day so the U will Live up ever day.


And finally , some time back i got one SMS from friend which was like this " What U will do if it is the last day of me" !! And needed to reply this msg . Whats ur answer to this SMS ? .

Kannada,Kannadiga and Karnataka

It is some what continuation of my previous post.

One should respect his motherland, his culture and his mother tongue because they are givers of happiness -- Rig Veda

Those who never respect there mother land , mother tongue will not be respected by others also. This may be the main reason why we always neglected , disrespect by other people. I don't want to write same thing blaming our self , which all we doing from past " Naavirode Hinge" .

I want to write some steps which I am fallowing, which made me proud and gave respect . This posting may not change everything , but hoping it will make at lest some little difference .

1) We should have respect on our place and language, then automatically we will be respected.

2) We will get respect when we know our self better, learn about our land , language . Read books , know more about our place ,language. Knowledge is power.

3) Another thing we lack information about our self , which is making us feel inferior .

4) Speak Kannada with Kannada people. It will bring us closer. And also it will make some identity and unity.

5) Speak Kannada with business representatives,in shopping mall, in banks . Don't be shy they need business not we . Which indirectly makes them to recruit the Kannada knowing people.

Identify yourself proudly ... I may get first comment on this post saying why U written this post in English then :) .
Please recognize spirit behind this post !!

And also add if you have any steps which make us all feel proud...

Who Am I ?

This is my first post on my new blog :) .
No particular reason for starting this blog.

Just wanted to write some thing on "Any Thing" and also to share my experience (26 years of exp !! ) and lessons lernt from life !!
And name of the blog is Kannada ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kannada_language ) version of "yours lovingly" :)

Who am I ?

Is this sounds like philosophical question !! . Which is Similar to "who are U ?" "Why are U on this earth ? " :) :)

There is one good quote "I am afraid to show you who I really am, because if I show you who I really am, you might not like it " .

Just think for while, asking your self above questions ? What U will say when people asks who are U ? Do U give always same answer ??
Most of the time Ur answer will be your name .Tell me if have any funny answer you gave .

Your answer varies depening on the -- Who asked ? Where asked ? When asked ? Some time why asked also !!
We don't have single identity to say who we are ( identity management is next hot technology in IT which has > $12 Billion global market ) . That is the worth of who r you ;)

OK OK ... Coming to real world I am Raghu from Tumakooru ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumkur_District ) . Working in Bangalore as Software Engineer.
