The journey called life

Image
We are perfect in the moment, but yet there is a lot of perfection yet to be achieved. If I am good today I shall aspire for being excellent tomorrow. If I don’t know I am good today, I shall aspire for just improving, and at the same time if I think I am excellent today, I know I don’t have much more to do further. Both the states are harmful for growth. I know I have grown from even yesterday and I would be much better than my current self tomorrow. I make my decisions each day and grow from them, the decisions are from my instincts which guide me, what my mind comprehends for me and I honor my combined decisions. They are the signs to ao ahead and make each days mystery unravel. When innocence and intellegence go together they achieve a beautiful person in manifestation, which each one of us should aspire to be.

Ghazini - movie review

Image
After such a long time a movie made me write something about it on my blog. Its such a capturing and compelling performance from Aamir, that it left me awestruck. I personally think he has a caliber which brings him to the classiest of the performances in the industry today. His presence in the frames makes one not to wink and to top it all he is looking good. The age which was visible on him in some of his past performances is fading away..maybe it’s a reflection of the work he has done on his body - it takes a lot of pain to achieve that and for all the hard work there he deserves a huge applaud. The theme of the movie is too violent to my taste, yet I would recommend it to watch for a perfectionist's perfect performance. One of the song "Kaise mujhe tum mil gaye" stays with one even after the movie gets over, its nicely sung, composed and picturized.

An ode to the teachers

Image
“He who considers too much will perform little” “Success is not final. Failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts” - Winston Churchill Its so important to have teachers in life, not only during school but for life. Teachers are the ones who keep refining a person to his/her potential, which a person himself/herself may not know. And for that we need to keep the activities in us alive. I feel blessed to be associated with teachers even today, who are refining me in todays time, and they are there to bring the best in me. I feel blessed to be knowing them for all my teachers are wonderful human beings.. spirited, inspiring and full of learnability and full of encouragement. Its difficult being a teacher and even more difficult being an inspiring teacher as the pupil always look for grey areas, where they can find the teacher faltering, so the teacher also needs to reinvent himself/herself in joy, energy, spirits and knowledge. It’s the energy from the teachers which ...

Dancing the way to bliss

I was reading this book as my bed-time read and this happened to be something which caught my attention and had me alert back again to read more on it. I thought of putting this at my blog to keep it like a reminance of the narrate. The book is a story of a girl and this particular chapter talks about how her employer who had offered her a dull and mundane job only to discourage her only to indirectly persuade her to quit on her own, yet she revives not only her own interests but all the collegues of the place of work and astonishingly the whole place becomes a charged place full of synergy from all. Dance to the point of exhaustion, as if you were a mountaineer climbing a hill, a sacred mountain. Dance until you are so out of breath that your organism is forced to obtain oxygen some other way, and it is that, in the end, which will cause you to lose your identity and your relationship with space and time. Dance only to the sound of percussion; repeat the process every day; know that, ...
