Ego

Body – Mind – Soul or being.

ATTITUDE AND EGO

Body bears pain

Mind suffers owing to thought of pain borne by body

Soul is beyond body

Mind speaks, hears, loves, hates, argues, plans, reacts, makes strategies, suffers. 

Ego resides in mind.

Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional 

says: 

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar – the founder of Art of Living.

He further says: 

Guilt does not allow a person to live happily.

Attitude, listening and observing are the part of soul 

i.e. being.

Pure thinking for the welfare of living things 

and creating an environment in which the planet earth

may survive for the coming generations is part of Being.

Learning

Learning is a life long process. Even the last day of life a person learns what happens when a person goes from this world.

A course in Entrepreneurship or any field of learning, I mean education, teaches techniques which help in times of need. 

In MBA minimum 30 and maximum 45 or more subjects are taught. Does this mean that all the subjects are used by the students in life or career? The learning of these subjects enable the student to be aware about the  environment and be fit to carry on his job. 

Tools and techniques have helped humanity to grow. Earlier humans had tools made of wood and stone, then iron and then silicon etc. etc. 

A computer is a tool and internet is technique with which the user can have interface with the entire world. This write up has reached you through internet. I wanted to learn Photoshop, Corel Draw and Adobe page Maker at this age of 55. I was feeling shy to go to the school or college and learn these. But I opened Google and searched for tutorials. Free tutorials and videos on You Tube were watched. Now I am able to work with Photoshop, Corel Draw and Adobe Page Maker. In a year's time, I shall become an expert and better than many who have got formal education about these software in schools or colleges. Techniques learnt. 

Techniques enable a person to achieve what he conceives and believes. Milkha Singh- the flying Sikh from India won the gold medal in Commonwealth Games 400 mtr race by employing the technique told and taught by his mentor.

His mentor observed that the rival in the race of 400 mtrs. employs a particular technique. His rival was winning the gold medals in the earlier Commonwealth Games. The mentor told: Look Milkha Singh your rival - the present Gold Medalist -runs first 300 mts. very slow and in the last 100 mtrs. he picks up the speed and leaves all the participants behind.

In this Commonwealth Games you will employ different technique. You will run fast in the first 300 mitrs and fast too in the last 100 mtrs race. Milkha Singh practiced with this technique in min and  employed the technique in Common Wealth 400 mtr. race and won the Gold Medal. Gold Medal was given by honourable Queen while the Indian flag was flying and national anthem was being played. Milkha Singh won 77 times out of 88 events which itself is a record.

This is the wonder of techniques. A course equips a person with techniques. Bigger the arsenal  better the combat.

TIPS TO TRAVEL SAFE IN TRAIN

TIPS TO TRAVEL SAFE IN TRAIN

1. Be self-reliant. Don’t ask any co-passenger for any help until emergency arises. For example carry water bottle full of water for use.
2. Lock your luggage while traveling.
3. Wear simple clothes as others judge from your looks.
4. Eat nothing from the people around. Many times the eatables are laced with intoxicants and passengers are looted.
5. Before stepping in the reserved class, have a look on the passengers’ list pasted outside the compartment and find who are your neighbors while traveling. Even jot down their names and seat numbers and sms them to the person to be contacted in emergency.
6. Set  1 number of the mobile on emergency mode. If emergency, press 1
7. Inform your journey details to the person to be contacted in emergency before the journey e.g. ticket number, seat number, train name, time, coach and class traveled, estimated time of the train to reach at the arrival station.
8. For females:

8.1.Have a round of the coach you are traveling in and see how many females are traveling with you. If will build your confidence and panic will fly away.

            8.2 Carry black pepper spray for your protection and use in emergency.

            8.3 Be physically fit and use non-verbal communication for strangers.

8.4 Excessive talking and laughing with strangers means compromise with safety

      and security.

8.5  Do not talk loudly on mobile phone and do not talk for long with nears or dears.

8.6  If your receive a call, do not attend. On the other hand ring back to the caller and say you are traveling and will talk when you reach at the destination.

8.7  Disclosure of your arrival station compromises your safety and security. Avoid disclosing the same. Better send sms of your movements to your dear ones e.g. name of the station reached.

8.8 Instead of giving information about your movements loudly on phone, send sms to your dears and nears for regularly informing them about your arrival on various stations.

Keeping the current scenario in mind, with the rising crime rate in the country against senior citizens and women, self-defense pepper spray, available in handy size, fits easily into one’s purse, pocket or bag and is effortless to use.

It temporarily  immobilizes the attacker, inflaming the eyes, nose, throat and lungs, causing temporary blindness, severe burning sensation on skin, swelling of breathing tube tissues and systematically cuts off all except breathing. So, the victim can escape.

BETTER SAFE THAN TO BE SORRY.

     NOTE: This is in addition to what you already know.

  

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT

POLICE NEED TO WORK HARDER

WHERE our daughters, sisters and wives are vulnerable to ghastly crimes, the whole talk of women empowerment is a sham.

 As long as conviction rate remains low, rapes will keep happening.

The police force from top to bottom, needs to be upright, honest and energetic. The grit, determination, perseverance, innovation and stamina of the investigating agencies are abysmally low and smack of apathy and neglect in investigation and registration of rape cases.

                                                                                                                                          

Deterrent laws and better quality of investigation and protection are required to take or other criminal cases to their logical end in courts.

Judges have legal compulsions, they cannot go by emotions and sentiments but by evidence and facts presented by Prosecution Department. The Criminal Law Amendment Bill dealing with sexual offences should be made deterrent by incorporating exemplary punishment to the rapists.

A VISIT TO BHARUCH (GUJARAT)

I was invited by Dr. Bhagubhai Prajapati, B.Sc., B.Ed, M.Ed., Ph.D principal Narayan Vidalaya, Bharuch (Gujrat- India) for inspiring, counseling and motivating 1600 students of the school.

It was less and invitation from the school and more my intention to get my parents traveled one of the best cities of Gujarat.

My parents – mother and father – aged 75 and 79 respectively accompanied me. We stayed at Dr. Bhagubhai’s residence and enjoyed his hospitality. His daughter and wife really worked hard to keep everything tidy for us.

Dr. Bhagubhai is recipient of International Gold Star Award (Bangkok-Thailand) and Global Educationist Award (Tashkent- Russia)

From 12^th December, 2012 to 18^th December, 2012 half of the time I encouraged, inspired, counseled and  motivated the students from class 6 to class 12^th. The students are very brilliant and have clear vision what they have to do in their lives. Kids loved shaking hand with me. They touched my feet and I blessed them with grand success and happiness.

I was surprised when I asked one student: What is your career plan, great daughter? She answered: I wish to be happy. I had never thought to hear this. Generally students wanted to be doctor, engineer, army man/woman, teacher etc. But this student had a novel career plan – to be happy in life.

This answer from a small kid forced my mind to think : Am I happy? What should I do to be happy? This unique answer has triggered many more thoughts in the mind.

In our daily routine, after inspiring, counselling and motivation contacts with the students at the school,  we enjoyed visiting:

1. Kabir Badh where we enjoyed bathing in Narmada river.
2. A temple built as replica of 5000 years old Sri Yantra on the side of Narmada and participated in the evening prayer for the world peace. Aarti and jyoti really rejuvenated us all. 
3. Very first day, we went to attend the evening prayer at Akshardham Temple at Bharuch. The architecture of the temple is worth appreciating and emulation for other temples.
4. We – me, my parents, Dr, Bhagubhai and Mrs of Dr, Bagubhai enjoyed hot and cold water bath at Lusiana. It was energizing bath which immediately activated all of us. After the bath we felt quite relaxed and felt light.
5. Chowkidhani at Surat is a unique concept translated to highlight the Rajasthani culture in Gujarat. Dinner served by smiling young men was delicious. We got ourselves photographed from a professional photographer wearing Rajasthani turban. A new experience indeed!
6. At Vadodra, we saw the zoo and museum and enjoyed dinner with dosa.
7. On the sea shore at Dahej, the industrial complex being developed by Gujrat Government is very vast and excellent. Wide roads, big industries, railing for lifting material from sea shore shipped by ships gave a panoramic view. We visited a ship-building factory. Huge ships under construction on one side and vast water bed on the other side gave a  view that pleased the watcher’s mind.
8. Flowers, crops in vast fields in Dahej and alongside the road really added to our pleasure.
9. On 19^th December, 2012, my parents accompanied me to the school at 7 am and attended the prayer. They were the guests for that day prayer. Speeches were made in Gujrati languages in their appreciation, regular school prayer was made, songs were sung to welcome them and shawls were given as token to respect and love to all three of us. My parents were very happy and proud to receive these bouquets and presents from the senior teachers of the schools.
10. Photos and videos were made and recorded DVDs were given to us. My parents say: This 19^th December, 2012 is most memorable day of their lives. Before this , they were never hononoured like this.
11. Enjoyed tasty food at the home of Mr. V.N.Dharia and Mrs. Dharia. Mr. Dharia is a former principal who worked as an excellent principal for over 35 years and is a director of a school now. He and hise wife both are very good humans. Every time I visit Bharuch, we are invited for dinner which is enjoyed to the fullest of our taste buds.
12. I am feeling an inner peace which I had never experienced in life. My gods i.e. my parents are happy and this occasion has given them lease of about 10-20 years of life. Now they will be appreciating and talking with others of this occasion with great enthusiasm. Memories of the occasion will be a driving force to them. After all I am in the world due to my parents. When I was a new-born child, they gave me milk, food and paid for my education.  I just wished that they be happy. Now they are.

          I have commented in one of the discussions of Harvard Business Review: This tour to Bharuch is memorable because my parents accompanied me. It was historic and most happiest moment of life when on 19th December, 2012, my parents and me were sitting on the stage along with principal and one senior teacher. About 1600 students of the school were sitting in front of us in colorful uniforms- little, small and , young. My parents were honored with shawls and flowers. My mother is illiterate and father just matriculate. Both were feeling on the top of the world at that time. I touched their feet in front of those 1600 students and later on many teachers in their speeches appreciate my this gesture and expressed that they were happy as I had brought my parents along with me. 

          Suzani - a type of quilt- which is a souvenir from Bharuch was presented to my parents. 

This comment in Harvard Business Review  is being appreciated by the people all over world. I am receiving private and public accolades.   For all this:

I am thankful to  :

• The Management of Narayan Vidayalaya, Bharuch and its chairman Mr. Hemant Bhai, intelligent visionary who is a benevolent person and loves humans and his kind family, son, daughter and wife that supports him in his good deeds.
• Dr. Bhagubhai Prajapati, the live-wire and dynamic principal, wife and his brilliant daughter who is studying for .MBA (Fashion Designing)
• Mr. V.N.Dharia and Mrs. Dharia.
• The brilliant and cooperative staff – teaching and non-teaching- of the school.
• Above all, the disciplined, intelligent and students with all round personality of the school.

News Detail

77 years old appears in IGNOU entrance exam

28 October, 2012

Openness and flexibility have always been a prominent feature of any ODL system, but success of this learners friendly system also depends upon learners attitude towards it. Especially in the case of elderly people between the age group of 60 years and above. But, when a person is determined to achieve something, age does not matter. It turned into reality when a 77 years old candidate appeared in M.Phil/ Ph.D. entrance examination at Indira Gandhi National Open University headquarters.

The candidate Mr. Binay Kumar (Mobile No.09430225564) who come far from Patna to take the test has already completed successfully the Post Graduate in Distance Education (PGDDE) and Master of Arts in Distance Education (MADE) from Staff Training and Research Institute of Distance Education (STRIDE), IGNOU.

Surprisingly, septuagenarian Mr. Kumar was not alone at the examination centre, there were about 10 more aspirants in 55-65 age group who turned up to take the entrance examination this year. But Mr. Kumar was the eldest among all of them and as serious as his younger competitors.

1936 born, Mr. Binay Kumar, spent more than 30 years of his life in government job and retired from the service in 1994. He worked as a research officer (Statistics) in Department of Animal Husbandry, Government of Bihar.

When he was asked, what were the motivating factors which forced him to take test for the admission in Ph.D. in Distance Education, Kumar replied, “I had attended 13th conference of Asian Association of Open Universities (AAOU) held in Delhi in 1994 as a common participant. The theme of the conference was ‘Structure and Management of Open Learning System’. After attending the deliberations during the various technical sessions I realized that the theme of the conference was similar to my spiritual organization which focuses on better life and education for all. At the same conference I decided to pursue higher education which is a best mode to provide education to all sections of the society at affordable cost.”

I want to study further because, “It helps you in maintain regularity and discipline in your daily life; apart from this I believe in life-long learning process,” adds Mr. Kumar.

This ambitious person lives in Shri Krishna Nagar locality in Patna, and has four well settled sons and two daughters. One of the sons is doctor, another lawyer, third one is working with the Punjab National Bank while the fifth one is settled in Canada. Both the daughters are post graduate, teaching in government high schools.
