Uday Learns to Write

I started hating the word ‘study’ ever since I had graduated and another word ‘exams’ which was the main cause for the hate.  I like the words ‘learn’ and ‘experience’ and even ‘read’ instead.  I feel these words mean more than just the words I hate.  Though I was an above average student throughout my school and college days, I found the books which contain the subjects were just the piece of papers put together and bound.   The last time I went to school was when I had to cast my vote in the Election 2014.   Otherwise I had no intention of going to school again.   Contrary to my hate, I liked the school days more than my college days.   I had just few friends in school days and lesser in college days.     I played lot when I was in school and had fun in the class rooms. I had to go to school again a few days before to admit my son in a pre-school nearby home.  Nowadays the purpose of sending our children to schools is not just for studies but for schools to instruct us

Today, it is a gift to those who spends their lifetime just by cooking in the kitchen. Yes!  It is Microwave Oven, a kitchen appliance, founded by Percy Spencer. Percy Spencer, once again, like any other inventor, was born in America in the year 1894.  It is obvious that great achievers are from the bottom of life.  Yes, Percy was born in a poor family.  He lost his father in his young age.  To take of his family, he was forced to work.  He joined as an electrician in a paper company when he was just twelve. In 1912, the year when the great ship ‘Titanic’ submerged, the message was conveyed through wireless telegram.  When heard about the usage of wireless telegram, Percy was interested to learn the technology. Later, during the First World War, Percy Spencer was entrusted to look after the production of the machines for sending messages wirelessly.  In the year 1920, he joined another company, producing Radars.    In 1941, he was entrusted to look afte

One day Winston Churchill went into a very bad hotel in the city.  He saw his school mate working there.  After enquiring about his wellness, Winston asked his friend ridiculously, ‘Is this where you’re working?’ His friend strongly replied, ‘Yes, but I won’t eat here’.

Apart from writing, Tolstoy got involved into many other things.  He did small works and also worked in the field etc.  One day Tolstoy was standing in a railway station.  He looked like a coolie.  A woman in the train called him and told, ‘Sir, my husband has gone to hotel to buy foods and he hasn’t come yet, the train is about to leave.  Please let him come here soon. I’ll pay for that’.  She told him about her husband’s appearance. Tolstoy went and brought her husband.  The lady gave him a penny for his work.  After some time the lady realized that he was the famous author Tolstoy.  She got down the train and went to him. ‘Sir, sorry I’ve mistaken you. I wasn’t aware that you’re the author Tolstoy.  Please forgive me’ ‘Madam, I won’t feel inferior because you’d mistaken me as a coolie.  But please don’t ask the money you gave me as it is my salary for my work’, Tolstoy told.

From the childhood, we have been told not to lie.  Our ancestors have told so.  The same ancestors have also told us to lie when it is necessary and when it doesn’t affect others.  We have somewhat followed those advices. It is ok if we don’t lie at all.  However, what if we have to tell lies in critical situations that if not told would give tremendous results.  So, as per the advice of our ancestors we can tell lies as long as it has no impact in others’ life. Some people have this habit of not telling the truth.  Whatever they tell, are just lies.  They just exaggerate the real situations into imaginary ones.  The other people, who are found rarely, tell only the truth.  They are hardly among us. Sometimes lies are exciting, when told and irritating, when heard.  We never like lies when heard.  We are the first to tell them when we need to escape situations.  We would get slaps in our childhood from our parents when we told lies.  Later we grew and became paren

It is quite a long time since I’ve penned my thoughts.  Yes, I’m married and more than that I’ve become a father of a two years old child that left me a little space and time.  I need to give him the possible best of the world.   So, I’ve got to work a little more to get that extra money to save.  I’ve got to squeeze my mind to the possible extent to pop out the ideas to earn money in many ways.  Whenever money pours into my pocket, it finds its own loop holes to get out of it.  Eventually those little efforts go in vain.  In every new attempt, some may be a different one, I find a failure.  Those times, I remember Mr. Thomas Alva Edison, who failed 1000 times to invent the light bulb. There are times when I'm being cornered and I find 'A Turning Point at Every Corner'.  I've become more matured.  I'm used to the failures and disappointments now.  I've started looking at the light penetrating the holes in the dark room.  Walking towards that light

Everybody wants to win but no one knows what does the word 'WIN' mean.  So it means some or the other thing to each and every one.  For me, winning is just living the life as you want.   All of us set goals to achieve and consider achieving the same is what we call 'WINNING'.  I think the ultimate goal for all of us is just to be happy, right? One cannot win unless he or she knows what he or she wants.  So being aware of who you are and what you want is the first step towards 'WINNING'.   Once you come to know what you want, you will win.   I'm sharing an interesting psychology of winning here.  Let me know are you there?

I've come across a survey about Happiness.  I just want to share with you.  According to the survey, a part called 'Hippocampus' in our brain is responsible for our happiness and memories.  They have found eating Turkey helps to improve your brain as it contains 'Serotonin' a neurotransmitter which helps to regulate learning, sleep, etc. Just spending 20 minutes outside in a good weather helps your positive thinking.  And remember married people are 10% happier than those unmarried people.  Surprised?
