How Thoughts make Your Life?

H ave you ever thought how your thoughts make your life?  You are what you think about yourself.  You become the same what you think.  We have so many thoughts in our daily life.  If we try to count our thoughts in a day, we will be astonished that thoughts are countless and most of them are meaningless, not useful for life. How do our thoughts evolve?  Thoughts are not created themselves.  Thoughts evolve from the mind, the input we give to our mind decide our thoughts.  Inputs are what you see, hear, read, and write.  If you can control or decide on what your inputs should be then you can have the control over your thoughts.  Suppose your inputs are about happiness, believe me you will become happy.  Have you noticed whenever you see a comedy movie, you laugh and it remains for some time until you change your input. If you want to change your thoughts or how you want the thoughts to be always input the same.  If someone wants to be peaceful, read lot about meditation,

First Gear

O ur plan to buy a bike for me ended up at the Bajaj Show Room situated just a few kilometers away from our house.  We were shown two types of bikes, one is 100 cc and other is 125 cc for our budget.  After several confusion and discussion we zeroed in the 100 cc bike, which finally fit our pocket.  We paid advance for the bike to be delivered in two days.  I was expecting the day eagerly. Image Credit: whoever the owner We received a call from the showroom that our bike was ready for delivery.  We were asked to bring the balance amount particularly.  That day I took leave from office.  At the show room, after paying the balance amount, there were some documents work done.  After about half an hour we were shown the Bajaj Discover 100 cc bike colored in light green with gold, a brand new two wheeler was ready to ride.  Oh! the there was a problem, I didn't know driving.  How could I take my bike home?  I never learned driving before and even after college, I hired (

Abraham Lincoln

When he was so young, he had more interest to read books but since his father couldn’t afford things because of his low income Abraham was unable to buy books.  So he walks distances to borrow books from those living in urban areas. One day he’d borrowed a book about the biography of George Washington.  He was so interested in the book that stimulated him to read the book fully at one go.  But since the lamp ran out of oil, the light was dimming and he couldn’t complete reading the book.  So, he kept the book on the roof of the home and went to sleep. Next day, he found his book was so wet because of the rain last night.  He informed this to the owner of the book.  The owner got angry and wanted him to pay for the book else to work in his farm for three days for the compensation.  Lincoln couldn’t pay for it so he worked in his farm.  After working three days, the book was entitled to him, Lincoln cried after he owned the book.  This is one of the incidents that made him to b

George Bernard Shaw

One day George Bernard Shaw was caught in the heavy rain.  He hurried to the nearby building and knocked the door.  But the person, who was inside the building refused to open the door. “I’m Bernard Shaw! Open the door”, said Shaw. That person burst into laugh and said, “Here in, there are 20 people were saying that they were Bernard Shaw, you’re the 21 st ; go inside” and he opened the door. Only after entering the building, Shaw realized that it was a Mental Hospital.  

2034!

We all know that the Jupiter is the biggest planet in the Sun family.  Scientists say that once in 83 years, it comes near to the Earth.  Before that, it was said to have come close to the Earth in 1954.  It was about 59 million kilometers distance from the Earth at that time.  It is believed that it will come again near to the Earth in 2034!  Are you ready?

Charlie Chaplin - English comedian and film maker (1889-1977)

In  London , in the middle of poverty, everyone was suffering from the disease of hungriness. Henna, the mother of Charlie Chaplin got a chance to sing in a bar after trying too hard, many times in many bars. She was young, good looking and a very good singer before when Charlie Chaplin was born. But poverty had sucked her youth and left her so weak. That day, she with her son, Charlie, went to the bar to sing. After getting on the stage, she was unable to sing well. Her voice was stumbled. She burst in to tears. The bar was crowded at that time. And everyone shouted against her to go out. The bar manager scolded her when she got down the stage. To everyone’s surprise, the six years old boy, Charlie suddenly got on the stage. No one knew what he thought. Everyone in the bar was staring at him and thinking what he was going to do. Charlie started singing the song, his mother taught him and he danced by waving his legs and hands. The surprised crowd was enlightened and the bar was f

Who are You?

H ave you ever thought who you are?  You hardly had time for that.  You have time for all those things which are mostly related to others.  You always believe what others say about you, what others call you.  When you are born they named you and you believed that the name is you.  Whenever someone called your name, you turned back if they call you.  After school and college you became a gradute.  Now, you have got more things to add your name, your degree. You got married and had children.  You brought them, helped them to be educated .  You accumulated wealth and finally you die.  Now they found who you are, they call you, the body.  Yes, you are the body.  You’re piece of the earth.  You are the different form the earth.  You are not born with this body.  You have just accumulated it.  You are what you eat. Now, you come to know that you’re not what they call you, what you eat, your body, then who you are?  Are you your mind?  You have been in belief of what others always s

The Interview

It is the time in between the dark and light.  The clock starts alarming exactly at 5.00 am.  Amir puts his hand on the clock to stop its alarm, his hands along with clock is vibrating.  Without any second thought he wakes up in a hurry just to avoid the sleeping mood unless he will fell asleep again as he does every day.  He opens the doors of window outside.  The street lights are still blinking, the sun rays are yet to come, few dogs are sleeping on the road platform, and he can hear the sounds of cuckoos.  Without passing any more time, he is to get ready for the day soon. Dressed up in the black pant and blue shirt Amir finishes the breakfast as fast as the time is running out for the interview.  This is the first interview call he receives after many months.  He has to get this job desperately as no more money left in his pocket.  He has to pay off the rent and other expenses as he stays alone in the city and it is becoming costlier day by day. It is the busy bus stop,

Man Race

It has been just a year went, everybody I see asks me this question "Does your child started speaking?" I wonder why people are in a hurry.  When I just completed my graduation, they asked me when I was going to get a job.  When I got a job, they asked me when I was going to get married.  When I finally got married, they asked me when I was going to have a baby.  They will never stop asking questions.  Are they really interested in your life?  Do they check your progress to compare with them.  Are they want us to run with others.  They mean it as settlement in life.  What after settlement? When I was studying school, I was always told to get higher ranks than our neighbors' children.  Getting a job that pays higher than your friends' or neighbors' is in the agenda.  Starting from building a house to settling our children is the way we have to live the life.     When you go off the way all the people are moving, they started to see you as a Monk.  When yo
