Here, conditioned thinking is referred to as a process of our mind that has been practiced repeatedly to think in a certain way.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 25.7px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s2"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: large;">For a specific period and reason , my cooking skills had to remained underdeveloped particularly in “the traditional” food numbers. Though I could cook normal food nicely. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>I learned a lot from my mother-in-law and commenced enjoying an unexplored area of cooking. She was one of the best chefs to learn from.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 25.7px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s2"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: large;">As time went by, <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>now I can cook whatever I think of; <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>any continental or traditional cuisine ( good or not good but I do not restrict myself to cook it). </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 25.7px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="s2"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: large;">But yes, there was a time when by getting repeatedly not-so-good comments on some of my cooked foods, and, also not being satisfied with myself; gradually, I started conditioning my mind that I just can not cook good food. Then, I even restricted myself voluntarily on cooking those food items. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisHtv4OkJOri7vpjLIHJgjduEN7nNYotcH5ECjeoqYCz-r2CZGJQXDKRNk9pUD8pnHvLjRi1mr8bzvRTUZ4rgrz6h__x9eBkfHtOTVj96ORWq1HJlZbWpjrrdlQwE7ZOCK8VNXSQ7pZt4/s1280/IMG-20210515-WA0002.jpg"><img alt="The motivated mind" border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="720" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisHtv4OkJOri7vpjLIHJgjduEN7nNYotcH5ECjeoqYCz-r2CZGJQXDKRNk9pUD8pnHvLjRi1mr8bzvRTUZ4rgrz6h__x9eBkfHtOTVj96ORWq1HJlZbWpjrrdlQwE7ZOCK8VNXSQ7pZt4/w225-h400/IMG-20210515-WA0002.jpg" title="Inspirative silence" width="225" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: large;">It was a conscious hypnotic state for me to think of not being a good cook. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 25.7px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s2"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: large;">Fortunately, soon I realized that when I have cooked with the free mind ( being unconscious with my so-called belief that I can not cook well) I did wonder....and made many flavorful snacks and meals.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 25.7px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s2"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: large;">Witnessing my vibrant cooking skills after then; I can say that my unconscious “motivated mind” helped me not only to emerge out of the hypnotic trance of my own pseudo belief but also discovered new skills in me. Now I always cook food with a free mind which is not restricted to any prejudices...and I am enthusiastically satisfied with it.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 25.7px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="s2"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 25.7px; text-size-adjust: auto;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizNFnhmAfyiHDN5V3FkOrDc9RYnCoOBvolvwbOFhDqN2UZxc9PTHT8weHgHGlrXRYT1oyE8tFQkPextqMPJ0FDhdC6HkMJElbVE8aB6HXuVj4nanjJRSiNZ8odE_Z7G5KClD5VkW08HVc/s1280/IMG-20210515-WA0003.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="720" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizNFnhmAfyiHDN5V3FkOrDc9RYnCoOBvolvwbOFhDqN2UZxc9PTHT8weHgHGlrXRYT1oyE8tFQkPextqMPJ0FDhdC6HkMJElbVE8aB6HXuVj4nanjJRSiNZ8odE_Z7G5KClD5VkW08HVc/w360-h640/IMG-20210515-WA0003.jpg" width="360" /></span><span><a name='more'></a></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: large;">Another instance to share is about my workout routines. At starting doing dumbells and push-ups were that not easy for me. Nevertheless, <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>in this case; as I already unleashed my mind from being conditioned; I can do and not gave up.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 25.7px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s2"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: large;">It proves we can tap the infinite potential that is even now waiting for us inside our unconscious minds, to be explored.</span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 25.7px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s2"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: large;">The lesson to be drawn from this is that there are dimensions of the mind that operate beyond our ordinary conscious, rational thought patterns. They work in some way by which we can extricate ourselves from our daily style of thinking. Therefore, we need to open and motivate our minds to receive what is beyond this three-dimensional world. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 25.7px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s2"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: large;">“Seekers find that they can break the fetters that bind the mind” </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 25.7px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="s2"></span><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-size: large;">My idea of having a motivated mind comes from being always positive at our thoughts ( and of course not at covid, report) ”.

events that emerge one after another. Some of these events which occur like
clockwork already possess a claim for their inevitable affairs; particularly
birth, death, and our survival in it.</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">These events take place in every individual's life
irrespective of his gender, age, financial or social status, and also whether
he is good or evil in other’s wisdom. Though each of us knows that these
events must take place at their destined time, there are certain elements of
‘uncertainty’ around them, and this are what make life more interesting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">There are several occasions in life when things seem to be really gloomy and no way out or no ray of light to be seen but
eventually, these situations pass as there is no assurance that things have to
be as they are. Thus, uncertainty sometimes also builds hope to live and is the
reason for us to smile. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Certainty is fine, but if it displaces this
uncertainty in our life affairs, it will make life kinda boring as
there will be no domain for speculation and nothing to anticipate in that
case. What about the fun and excitement quotient for watching, or playing
a game in which you already came to know who the winner is going to be? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">This elucidates, it is the uncertainty around the
aftermath of the game that compels us to watch it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Therefore, pondering upon what life is all about, I
speculate that it is not a steady voyage, but is filled with lots and lots of
twists and turns arising mainly from these uncertainties. And in between
these uncertainties, life’s voyage is navigated by our frequently shifting set
of priorities, interests, wishes, and influence driven thoughts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Considering myself, I have noticed that pursuing one
interest has caused another to dwindle such as when my occupation of teaching
becomes the main area of focus, my family and social life subsides. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">In this way, I discovered that ship of life needs a
constant balancing act to propel through the anticipated voyage. Of course,
there are a few who seemingly do it all and do it well, too. Nevertheless,
they appear to be balancing it all by sacrificing at least a minute bit of
either their career or family life or interests.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">‘This is an art and artist needs to be
applauded.’ <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Now, here I perplex on some thoughts, <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">‘Is there any way to do this without any compromise? ;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">‘Can anyone really balance this perfectly, or is this
just an illusion?’ ;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">‘However, if a compromise is obliged for a balanced
life, then doesn't the whole scenario change? ’ ;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">‘If this is so, then a balanced life seems to be an
illusion without compromising? Or do people who seem to have things in balance
without compromise, perceive life differently? ’<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">It's not that all is smooth and steady in people’s
career and family life, who balancing their life’s scenario; but perhaps it
might be the way they look at things. Their idea of accepting things as they
are and non-attachment to these things by letting them the way they are, that
makes them so successful!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">'Their perception of their life's' condition is the
key to their balanced life.’<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Earlier, I would be surprised to see some people
simply float through life And would have found it hard to accept their attitude
of gratitude even in adverse situations. Then, as time passed, I realized
they were the ones who had figured out the exact meaning of life! So I
gradually embarked on imitating them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Truly, it was and is a real challenge- like balancing
a small log piece in the fast-moving shaky currents of a river! And it has to
be done without a facet of blame! And what I conclude is.......</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Life gives us many second chances to do things up to
our utmost satisfaction level and balancing act never ends.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">It's a tricky match between our will power and our
uncertain fate where winner and loser are never known. So, enjoy this game of
life without taking either of the sides and be determined to pursue it despite
setbacks. </span></div>

<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: medium;">It was Sunday morning, I with my two daughters was offering the worship together. The younger one was in a hurry so as soon as we completed our prayers, she asked me for ’Prasad: a food offering made to God’, and went outside to play. However, I did not have any complaint about it as already she had the patience to do prayers with all her attention. </span></div>
<div class="p2" style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.8px;">

<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: medium;">However, I was astounded over my elder daughter who was still there with no sign of rush; she seemed to be thinking about something. Holding a white petalled flower in her hand palm, she looked at me, and asked ”Do our prayers reach God? ” I was not surprised as it was the same question that I had in my mind when I was of her age. I kept one of my hand on her shoulder and replied, “ Before answering this particular question, I want you to understand the purpose of prayer. I looked at the flower in her hand and continued, ”When a flower blossoms, it spreads its fragrance but the main purpose of the flower is to bloom; not to ensure that the fragrance spread everywhere. Thus ’our prayers are merely a means to reach to God!’. They are not at all like demands so that we have an eagerness to find out whether the demands would be fulfilled or not. </span></div>

<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17.41pt;"><br /></span>
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17.41pt;">The little girl smiled; reflecting her gratification. She offered the flower to the idol of Lord Krishna and went to join her sister.</span></span></div>
<div class="p2" style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.8px;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: 17.41pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: medium;">Though I have already answered the question ’Do our prayers reach God?’, my mind, as usual, started pondering in an emerging world of ’interconnected questions’. However, heartful thinking never fails to answer.</span></div>
<div class="p2" style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.8px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: medium;">Why did this question arise? If a prayer is called to be a prayer, it is enough. But the real question is, do our prayers come from the heart? If they do, then it is certainly enough. If a prayer weighed down with demands is not a prayer at all. The sanctity of the prayer lies in desirelessness. </span></div>
<div class="p2" style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.8px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: medium;">What is prayer? Reading or verbalising some words cannot be called prayer. No matter how many times we repeat the words if our heart is not moved, it is not true prayer. Only the strong emotions of affection emerging from our heart can transform us, not those borrowed words.</span></div>
<div class="p2" style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.8px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: medium;">Prayer does not mean memorising certain words and repeating them. To say something that has been memorised is like replaying a tape. Whatever is borrowed, memorised or prep in advance is not a prayer. That which is ours, spontaneous and not rehearsed, is a prayer. The more prepared you are, the more superficial you and your prayer will be.</span></div>
<div class="p2" style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.8px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: medium;">Prayers, seem to have disappeared from this world because they are taught, instead of being kindled. And since such prayer is not kindled from within, life remains empty. Therefore the very act of teaching makes it worthless.</span></div>
<div class="p2" style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.8px;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".sfuitext";"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: medium;">It is the same as with respect and affection. You can't be taught both of them. These are spontaneous things. If you, 'study' how to respect and affectionate, they become artificial. This kind of respect, this kind of affection is not real. All you need is the opportunity to manifest it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".sfuitext";">For instance, if someone wants to sleep, what he do?

<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: medium;">It is the same with prayer. Just detach yourself from the noise outside. Sit by yourself for some time, forget the world and connect with your inner self. Dig deep within initially, you may encounter just pebbles, stones, but if you keep digging deeper within yourself, a fountain of bliss will spring forth. Wait for it patiently.</span></div>
<div class="p2" style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.8px;">

<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: medium;">True prayer begins as a request to change oneself and culminates in a tranquil silent and thoughtless state of mind. On the other side, any request for changing circumstances cannot be called a prayer. That would be sheer begging.</span></div>
<div class="p2" style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.8px;">

<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: medium;">For centuries, begging has been practised in the name of prayer; that is why such prayer does not blossom in the heart to give joy.</span></div>
<div class="p2" style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.8px;">

<div class="p1" style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: medium;">Prayer is a serene state of mind, and not mere chanting of a mantra for the fulfilment of a desire. Some pray in the belief that if you ask with faith, you will receive it. They believe that begging is praying. But the enlightened beings say that if we entertain desire such as, ‘ I hope I get this, I hope I don't get that’, then it is not prayer. The moment desires are appended to prayer, the wings of worship are clipped.</span></div>
<div class="p2" style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20.8px;">

<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".sfuitext"; font-size: medium;">Everyone’s prayer is different, but the inner state from where prayers emerge is the same. Prayer is an inner expression of joy and a contented state of being.</span></div>

During last few decades, I have noticed that, diseases related to stress and life style have increased tremendously. Occasionally I have also experienced the same but analysing the 'Mind-health synchronization': I am overpowering them.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZbKONOfruN0xKUALDXcKfNFRNmZWx3s3BgLWts3hON6kdg7JmU_r-uGOsmPwFF2TT1YCrPQjWf14o3M_a0fv7qSxcDcTSyZUnugrSM08umHv4RAMWhTxsYCIVLVviV249aFu6V3cv5po/s1600/20180713_185435.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Mind and health synchronization " border="0" data-original-height="696" data-original-width="1288" height="215" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZbKONOfruN0xKUALDXcKfNFRNmZWx3s3BgLWts3hON6kdg7JmU_r-uGOsmPwFF2TT1YCrPQjWf14o3M_a0fv7qSxcDcTSyZUnugrSM08umHv4RAMWhTxsYCIVLVviV249aFu6V3cv5po/s400/20180713_185435.jpg" title="Mind and health synchronization " width="400" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Actually, stress related d<span style="font-family: sans-serif;">iseases first originate in one's mind then affect physically. </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">It's our belief system, attitudes, habits or situations that lands us in mental instability results in poor mental health.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;">Some of the major warning signals of poor mental health are:</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: sans-serif;">
- Continuously unhappy<br />
- Always worrying<br />
- Mood swings<br />
- Depression<br />
- Disability to be with people<br />
- Often get upset- if routine is disturb</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;">And can cause multiple aches like regular insomnia: a sleep disorder, lethargy: a fatigue syndrome, </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">or obesity, where no many times physical cause is detected.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: sans-serif;">
All of these have direct impact on mental, social, and physical health, due to which a series of hormonal changes occur. Many endocrine glands in the body get disturbed includes thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, ovaries, testis, pancreas, pituitary and hypothalamus. It also found that stress also affects autonomous nervous system disturbing bodily functions like digestion and respiration, deteriorating our health.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: sans-serif;">
Need to control over this, we have to check out for our cortisol levels. Cortisol is a ‘stress hormone’ that our bodies release in response to anxiety in mind; over prolonged periods, higher cortisol levels have been linked to a wide range of health derangements like heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, a lowered immune response, arthritis and various other diseases including depression. Apparently our mind can make one sick or speed the healing process by stress management: poor or good, correspondingly.</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: sans-serif;">
It's important to note that "mind" is not synonymous with brain which we often think to be same. Instead, the mind consists of mental states such as thoughts, emotions, beliefs, attitudes, and images. The brain is the hardware kind that allows us to experience these mental states. Each mental state has a physiology associated with it—a positive or negative effect felt in the physical body. For example, the mental state of anxiety causes you to produce stress hormones. Our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and attitudes can positively or negatively affect our health and body.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: sans-serif;">
Now we understand 'mind' plays a vital role in promoting or deteriorating one's health.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;">On the other hand, what we do with our physical body: what we eat; quality and quantity, how much we exercise, even our posture can impact our mental state positively or negatively. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;">Thus Mind and health synchronization is very much important to work on as both have an interrelationship between them. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;">If we can strengthen this connection positively and understand it, we can conquer stress and related diseases. This can be</span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;"> achieved by empowering inner self by meditation and yoga like therapies as well as by p</span>aying attention to the inner world of thoughts, feelings, attitudes, visions to connect with the outer material world in better way and importantly, it will build up a good health and mind sync.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: sans-serif;">All of us can lead to a successful happy and healthy life by having a positive mind outlook that not only can improve quality of life but also give our health a boost and this is what 'mind and health synchronization'. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br>
</span><br>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Nowadays, What's app is successfully crawling the message of 'plastic ban' over an environmental awareness and I am sensibly happy for it because I have already implemented it, a year back. Though I am trying hard enough, it's really difficult to get out of this 'plastic world' completely. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Plastics are synthetic polymers of organic origin and have enormous 'easy to use' properties like light weight, water proof , transparent as well as available with all colour shades, non-corrosive, easy to mold in various shapes and sizes, resistance to shock, low electrical and thermal conductivity, good durability, low cost, easy to manufacture and many more. Thus how we are addicted to the convenience of plastics and made them part of our everyday life: at home, work places, automobiles, construction areas, medical fields and other sectors.<span style="font-family: sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Eventually our convinient plastics are presenting many problems. As plastics are made from petroleum, a crude oil product by heating and catalysing the monomers like ethylene and propylene into polymers like polyethylene and polypropylene; which are not found in nature and thus there are no organisms capable of decomposing or degrading it over thousands of years, letting them polluting the environment at staggering rate. Beside this, plastics are flammable and can not be safely burnt releasing toxic chemicals in to environment which can be responsible for health hazards like cancer, birth defects, impaired immunity and many other ailments. Plastics are killing animals and birds as they eat plastics products by mistake<span style="color: #333333;">.</span>Plastics are also when seeps into water bodies like river and oceans, they adversely affect aquatic life as well litter up our beautiful shorelines.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Coming to the solutions, landfill sites provided a good option where all the waste is gets desposed off and mostly of it is plastics. We produce millions of plastics every year and more than half of it goes to landfills as waste from all over the world, thinking as o<span style="font-family: sans-serif;">ur planet is large one but it is not that large as we think it is. We are sharing it with billions of people, altogether contribute to plastic waste at an alarming rate and we</span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;"> can not escape from the consequences of throwing away that much of plastics which take hundreds of years to break down. Obiviously, it </span><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">would end in making our planet as 'plastic planet'.</span></span></div>
<div align="left">
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
</div>
<div align="left">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So what are other options ?</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For the sake of a good environmental profile, we also have 3Rs :- Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, well known waste management programmes.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Reduce is about cutting down the amount of waste that we are making. Example: Use washable dishes instead of paper plates and cups.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: rgb(51 , 51 , 51); font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Reuse means opting out different ways to use waste and avoid throwing it all put. Example: plastic cup and containers can be reused to store things or can become a part of art and craft projects.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Recycle is a method of using the trash for remaking new products from it and using them again. Example: Having work places with recycling partner to collect and Recycle plastic products and we just need to encourage them.<span style="background-color: white; color: rgb(51 , 51 , 51);"> </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: rgb(51 , 51 , 51); font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As we produce hundred millions tons of plastic every year, most of which can not be recycled or need effective recycling unit so it's obvious that we need to use less plastic, move towards sustainable products and services and come up with technology that recycles plastic more efficiently. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Being more specific about plastics awareness, I like to turn your heads towards 'single use plastics' for now.</span></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Single-use plastics, also known as disposable plastics, are intended to be used only once before they are thrown away or recycled. These includes plastic bags, disposable cutlery, bottles, straws, containers, coffee stirrers, soft drink and water bottles and most food packaging. Single-use plastic is everywhere. In a matter of mere decades, it has seeped into every corner of our lives.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
</div>
<div align="left">
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We think it’s normal to use a single-use plastic water bottles, take-away coffee cup, fruits, vegetables or other food products wrapped in disposable plastic packaging, and most popular 'a plastic bag' – but now we need to say big ' No' to them.</span></div>
</div>
<div align="left">
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
</div>
<div align="left">
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You know, Fossil fuels (petroleum products) take millions of years to form, then they are mined and manufactured into single-use plastic items, and transported to us, simply to be used for a couple of minutes before being discarded into environment for nothing to do over next thousands of years.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div>
</div>
<div align="left">
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So here is point, protest the single use plastics to protect our environment for the future as we all have 'the power of revolution' and better knowledge of our actions, and their consequences.</span></div>

Hey parents, living in every corner of the mother earth; this is my thankful note to all of you, saluting to your selfless parenthood and I really value it from the bottom of my heart as I am also rooting for the same.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
A parent; mother or father is someone who willingly, always there to support and care her or his child with utmost unconditional love, patience and sensibilities. They come together as parents to upbring their kids from a completely innocent infant to a socially responsible person by providing them emotional, social, psychological, educational and financial support with ultra protection. They simply live to love their kids and thus are always above everything as their love is so unconditional that no one could replace it ever.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The journey of parenthood is not simple at all. Only you, parents; know how do you all managing it selflessly with your own unique style. That's why I found it worthy to dedicate this simplest and not enough 'Thankful Note' to all of you. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Though, parents never need any kind of appreciation from anyone, it might motivate many like me or who sometimes face routine troubles to deal with kids.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Parents, you go through various kinds of resposibities while raising your kids with plenty of to-do and not-to-do lists at different stages of life.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
When kid is to be born, mother to be take care of herself, like never before and never after also, while father to be speeds up in gathering all strenghts, necessary to secure his kid's future. On arrival of baby, both of you, just dedicate yourselves pampering your young one as parents to be best.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Sleepless night, half-eaten food plate, edging social life, ignored health care, anxiety about future, side lined career specially in mother cases..and many more issues just get vanish within a second, on 'one' smile of your kids...... How wonderfully this parenthood heals it's many worries with mere happiness of kids.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Many times, being parents; you have to go through roller coaster ride of appreciation and critism regarding your parenting. Free advices and tips will never end, few being actually needed. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Keeping moral values in head and monitoring your role play character in kids upbringing matters a lot. It's not difficult but not simple too because kids have their own way towards approaching every other situations and you are always there to guide, to appreciate and sometimes you even get angry with them to alert or seek good out of it; hoping kids will understand the case. And when kids grows up, you all need to be considerably flexible with kids in giving advice or making decisions. Your parenthood rewards to be proud that time when your kid respect your journey as a person and understand you as a parent with their affection and not just with their academical or social achievements.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Me as daughter do admire my parents 'parenthood' but being parent of daughters I just salute their parenting as well as of all parents. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>

</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Fascinating over an idea of storytelling, I have weaved one.......<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<h2>
<i><b> 'Diary pages and two men'</b></i></h2>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Once upon a time, there was a man; living away from his family to earn livelihood. He was working hard enough to be rich soon. The only problem was: his phobia for 'loneliness' and even regular visits to family; living in neighbouring town didn't worked.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
On 'a good advice' of a friend, the man started socializing with neighbourhoods but being introvert; failed miserably.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Then, he began to spend more time at office and less at home to avoid boredom of been 'lone', till one late evening..........</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
On the way; back to home, the man mistakenly took different route and while, wandering across a small lane, he found many scattered pages, nearby a locked house. He felt something extraordinary about them; might be their supreme quality or 'decorated' corner sides. The man instantly crushed over them to pilled up and brought home.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
That 'very' night while moving fingers gently over the pages, he received a kind warmness and decided to adhere them into 'a diary' with a name, 'Dear Diary pages'.<br />

<div dir="ltr">
Day by day, the man started filling up the diary pages with his sweet and sour moments and felt lucky to have desirable companion who successfully faded out his loneliness.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Getting, a very warm and affectionate treatment, unknowingly the dairy came to consciousness and began to wait for his admirer to write over her, every single thought of him.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The man, now; increasingly became so fond of the dairy and started carry her almost everywhere....at work and also during his family visits.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
On, one of such visit, his family wished to accompany him soon. He accepted willingly.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
After a few days, his family arrived and the man seemed to be more happier. Though, he had managed the time between work and family, it became difficult for him to spend much time with the dairy that he use to spend earlier. The dairy kept waiting for her master, every day with same admiration but left ignored at the end.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
There after, 'the dairy pages' left cornered; heartbroken and alone, thus became unconscious over time. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Few months later, the man's wife sold out the 'torn' diary with old newspapers without concern of the man. While going through rocky small lane in a small cart, some of the 'uninked' dairy pages got fall nearby the same house, from where the man picked up them.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Next morning, another man located and gathered the dairy pages and welcomed to 'home'.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Again, the dairy pages waked up to bit consciousness with the very 'familiar' touch of second man. She saw herself again as a dairy and a series of letters were inked over her.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Dairy, regaining full memory; remembered actually she was belonged to the second man only. As this man use to spend much time with dairy pages, actually decorating them to write letters to his wife for an occasion of their marriage anniversary. But, being unaware; his wife threw the pages from window with the envy when the man was on tour and she left to visit her relatives.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Returning from tour, the man became sad as he didn't find his pages but got busy in life with 'the hope'.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Now, he miraculously found 'his pages' back. He summoned them to 'a lively diary'......full of praise and loyalty....to gift his wife who was coming to home after a vacation.<br />

Nature's beauty, often greet us, in it's own way. It rekindles our thoughts, to visualise and to enjoy every small cheer along with bigger celebrations; equally. Fortunately I have been just coincided with the same.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
'Other' dawn awakened me with its 'chirping alarms' and I got on my toes to be fit.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Running eastward, I was mesmorised to witness an eternal 'sunshined' dawn that kept me approaching towards it. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Parallel to roadside; plenty of nature's oxygen generators were planted. They pumped up surrounding breezes too fresh to breathe and thus, made me to run for an extra meter. Soon afterwards, I opted to walk lazily and got accompanied by my best friends......'wandering thoughts'.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Visualing scenic beauty; breathing oxygen-rich air; burning 'unhealthy' fats and being in best friend's company that all continued to enhance my positive perception towards life.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Going back to home; I was glorified to sight at 'the universal symbol of affection' : the beautiful red rose. I stopped in admiration.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Rose; being so attractive was a worth of watch. It had vibrant red colour, half opened petals; jewelled with shiny dew drops and sharing its space half opened bud. As it was emerged from prominent arm of potted mother plant, glittering with plenty of sunshine. And with fresh gesture; it seemed to greet me, "a very Good morning".</div>

Fascinated over 'magnificent rose beauty', I just glanced it's ground and background with much ignorance. Suddenly, I received another morning greetings with low utter. Though, I was not pleased, surprisingly looked at ground. I couldn't find any of delegates there and again turned my eyeballs for a glimpse of 'more emphasised rose'.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Again I noticed another salutation, I gazed at ground near potted rose plant, this time; more carefully and thus, recognised one who was actually greeting me ......</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Close to the ground, on a short slender stem branch, that 'tiny' flower with colour of happiness; yellow, smiling towards me with much more please to get noticed. I lowered my posture for closer look of it.</div>
<div dir="ltr">

After a minute observations, I was delighted to see 'an unexpected beauty of that tiny flower'. Its petals were reflecting golden shimmer ...full of dazzling elegance.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
It left me with quite, satisfactory amusement. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />

<div dir="ltr">
Indeed, this made my vision more cordial to coordinate nature's 'tiny flowers' greetings with life's small joy moments as both can appeal us with momentary yet delightful happiness that might make great difference in our approach towards life but we ignore them over bigger fascinated one.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Life, regularly uploads the happiness along with odds. We keep focusing on the bigger 'cheer hours', neglect many of 'happy minutes' which can be equally valuable to manage life's 'ups and downs' more smoothly.</div>

<div dir="ltr">
<i>'Tara', </i>Hindu name; means a twinkling star,</div>
<div dir="ltr">
belongs to my maternal grandmother.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
A week ago, my sister suddenly called up for video chat and told someone wants to see me. She handed phone to....</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
An oval wheatish face appeared <span style="font-family: sans-serif;">on my phone screen; </span>with wrinkled skin; <span style="font-family: sans-serif;">sparse eyebrows; pointed </span>nose; lips seems to shrunk like faded rose petals; grey hairs covered with part of unpinned, printed saree she wore .... 'My Granny'.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
A 78 years old deepened eyes twinkling with wisdom of experience seems to be confused where to look either in the front camera of phone or display screen. Obviously she chose later one, as she saw my smile on it and eagerly gave back 'most adorable smile' with a very familiar complaint that I don't call her on regular basis.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
She continued her talk; asking whereabouts of my daughters and life abroad. After answering all of her questions, finally I got a chance to ask about her health to which she replied with sigh "I have been weakened now days".... and sudden her facial expression murged to be pale. She ordered me "keep calling" and gave back phone to my sister.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Me and my sister wrapped up our talk soon as sister found me not so attentive that very moment and she was right....</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
My thoughful eyes were still glued to sudden disapperant granny's wrinkled face and each single line of wringle has story of her graceful ageing summoned to my memories as a deep affectionated tale......</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Granny got married at the age of mid thirteen to grandpa who had very impactful persona. Though, she use to look comparatively ordinary; her abilities of firm decision and caring approach made her 'a lady' behind all the success achieved by Grandpa. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
During childhood, I use to visit 'Granny's town', twice a year for vacations when she use to wore a well pinned up, ironed saree and looked very pretty. I do remember, many incident of that time. One of them; actually bumped me to know her name...... A prime time 'Drama serial' that my granny use to watch without missing a single episode led me in surprise when I found her with very much concern towards the main character....who was sharing her name with granny.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Many things I wonder about her; includes her mathematical skills even she hardly completed her primary schooling; correct interpretations about people; and energetic stamina of her slender body but after grandpa; it all fastened to be aged and weakened too......</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
I realised the value of having such 'wonderful grandmother' when <span style="font-family: sans-serif;">my parents sent me to granny's place for higher studies and it was her encourement and support, helped me to </span>became 'university topper' in my post graduation. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I shared a very warm bond with her by that time. I do remember, she use to wait for me; to return from college peeping through window as like a mother of small kid, she made delicious food for me specially buttery chapaties, she guided and guarded me very well when needed. I also looked after her, by taking her on regular doctor visit, bringing her favourite milkshakes and juices, making calls for her and specially listening to her complaints genuinely.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
She not only built up an inner strong soul of mine but also became a lightening path for me in many difficulties. Thus how I admire my granny, 'Tara' like a twinkling star who is brightened with affectionated light of wisdom.....<br />
<br />
I am happy and excited to share these memories with my kids about their 'great' great grandmother.<br />

Picturesque landscape : with craggy 'rolling hills',sun-drenching 'fertile' valley along with gem-blue stream of soulful 'Rhein river' that all furnish to an attractive paradise to 'Ingelheim am Rhein', a town situated in Mainz-Bingen district of Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Now, it has been a month, I with my two daughters landed here, accompanied my husband, working for a well established pharmaceutical that gifted an industrial prestige to this 'Red Wine' town which altogether known for its world famous 'International Tage' : artistic exhibition orientated cultural festival that been regularly hosted by company since 1959. For the year of 2018, it will be held in month of August to October....to attend it; I and my husband super excited !!!!!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
After being witness of town verdant, I discovered a wonderful photographer in myself; who is not restricted to only those 'selfies' and captured perfect frames around the town with any angle, though 'the truth' revealed soon that it's not my extraordinary photographic effects but 'simply beautiful' Ingelheim itself.....<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
A month old residency to 'Ingelheim' led me know about several other aspects of town.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
The historical files are inked with name of Ingelheim; by later half era of 8th century, when the Emperor Charles, had an imperial palace erected on hill, high above the Rhein river which was one of the magnificent palace of that time and soon became a venue for imperial diets, lodging and conferences. Nowdays town has a Museum dedicated to the Imperial Palace, showcased small archaeological finds like famous gold coin 'solidus'; objects from architectural sculpture and a demonstrative model of the once imposing building, provide comprehensive information about the history of the area to the visitors of 'Majestic town' lngelheim.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Town also has a range of other historical buildings worth seeing: <i>Burgkirche</i>; Ober-Ingelheim Old Town Hall; Bismarck Tower and many others including parks and manuments.'Ingelheim Red Wine Festival' on the Burgkirche Fairgrounds, is held each year from the last weekend in September, is one of the popular and like many visitors I also don't want to miss it for sure.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Ingelheim's fertile valley just not only famous with Vineyards for red wine but also widely known for high yield of asparagus fields with cherries and plums making this beautiful piece of Deutschland 'an economically impressive town'.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
High quality of living summoned to 'summer wine festival parade and winter Christmas tale' this scenic 'Ingelheim' equally parallelized by easy transport system of bus; railways with near by cities like Mainz, Wiesbaden, Bingen and Frankfurt Airport: the gateway to the world. Ingelheim also have fascinating super markets and shops, making living here; super cool. Thus how 'Ingelheim am Rhein' is continue to be attractive destination for visitors.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Well....along with all these quantitative information, warm greetings of known locals and those perfectly framed pictures of Ingelheim to be remain always with my memories.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
For few last days as 'Ingelheim resident' I have planned something mesmorising to explore : a travel through ship across the 'dreamy' Rhein river; along the town stretches, showing my kids fluttering swans, hiking excursion paths and scenic beauty of 'picture perfect Ingelheim'. <br />

My dearest little <u>S</u>is, </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Belated happy birthday!!!!!!!!!<br />
You might be surprised, getting birthday wish few days after your birthday.....from none other than your own elder sister. This has a purpose.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Family, relatives, friends and colleagues might have called up or messaged or even caught you right there to shower blessings on that auspicious day. Many of them might have brought gifts and sent cakes to express their affection towards you. Unlikely I am penning down ' an open letter ' to you. Because after this 'one day of every year' you might wait for next one to be felt special and to keep that essence of being special around you I would like wish you belated happy birthday repeatedly.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Now, your gym trainned fit mind would ask why open letter......</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
This is not just a blog or letter but my blessings for your successfully happy life. I do believe that when we write something from heart to whom we love unconditionally, our blessings get locked inside composed words and whenever someone including you read it ; these blessings get unwrapped and work miraculously again and again. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I know you also have same admirations and I absolutely love it when you express the same by sharing something of you to me. Though your remark about our age gap come in between. For me, having age gap; really don't matter because you could learn from my past mistakes to make better future choices and have someone to ask experimental things to proporous your life. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
Anyway difference in thinking drawn by 'age gap' couldn't put strong bond of sisterhood on threshold. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
You have witnessed, every endeavor and hardship I’ve faced and supported me; sometimes guided too. You are the 'one' to whom I can always confide in and trust. I will be always thankful. I also want to apologise for that time when I was not there to listen your side or hold your hand. <br />

Dear sister, we just don't share 'divine parents' and 'sensible brother' but a bond beyond quotes. Remember people are born with their kind problems. Owing to many of cowards who blame destiny and people around for all ungratefullness; few being focused keep going to achieve ultimate goal ; so understand the process as you are likely to be one of 'few' and have very keen inner strength. You have charismatic persona that you built up yourself ; positivity and gratitude will make it long lasting.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
One last advice: Many times when things are not in our hand 'Win-win situation' could be a help.</div>
<div dir="ltr">

Always with you to remind " you are too special". Blessed to love you sister.<br />

Inspirative silencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18412827831085444274noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610591995326982199.post-52189224857426317492018-05-15T06:06:00.004-07:002018-07-05T12:32:44.267-07:00Its a 'Sand play' time.<div dir="ltr">
<u>C</u>ontradictory to our sophisticated behaviour of holding things for long, by any means ; these 'sand granules' make us happy while releasing them through hands, willingly.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
An ideal way of 'Sand play' do not exist. Though, the basic ways that come naturally to almost everyone involves touching the soft sand granules by palm span, feeling its texture, drawing lines over it with fingers and toes, piling up it's layers, scooping to build castles, picking up to handful and watching it falling down.......<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
My scenario of 'Sand play' got more expanded due to my kids. Both 7 years and 3 years olds love to play outdoors and me also wants the same as it's more worth than just watching T.V. and you tube videos for hours. So these kids are always ready with their gardening kind toy tools and me offcoarse, for play outings. Nearby garden serve them exactly :a good playground field with sliders, swings, rope climbing and one more 'fascinating play' : sand, making it not restricted to beach only.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Absence of a shock absorbent surface in playground increases the risk of injury in a fall for kids. Accordingly, playgrounds are surfaced with a variety of good absorbing materials like sand as better protective layer as well as play zone. Safe sand with appropriate moisture content, surfaced up to few inches from playground so kids could enjoy their activities harmlessly.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Making sand castles and miniatures buildings is the most popular among all age groups. Even my little one built up sand castle in few minutes and enjoy it like building ' a historical manuments'. Elder one also but now she is able to handle its destruction too. She loves to make sand houses and connecting their ways. Back time I have asked her what that means she smiled and told me she do built up her friends sandhouses along joined routes means they would be remain connected always : heart touching one. It was one of an impactful experience that how sand play helps kids creative, sporty and expressive along with social interaction.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Now being indoor through "sandbox" ; sand play not only develops well eye - hand co-ordination of our kiddies but also improves their concentration skills. Sand play also has therapeutic significant as activities like scooping up wet sand, feeling it in our palms, writing or making patterns in the sand pit can work wonderfully for kids physical and mental health.Now days colourful sand designs and dramatically illuminated sand play shows</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
are also quite famous. <br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr">
Thus 'the journey tale' of a sand from being the part of mountainous solid rock to the ' play toy' is amazing to tell to kids but for now I want my little one to learn to wait for her turn and share her stuffs with others and 'sand play' is the help.<br />

Inspirative silencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18412827831085444274noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6610591995326982199.post-57894381690769213762018-05-11T13:30:00.001-07:002018-07-05T12:33:54.018-07:00Pursue 'a hobby' to be an artist <div dir="ltr">
Whenever my eyesight catches glimpse of still, silent, an enormous sky covered with light blue coloured bedsheet that have moving feathery white cushions of clouds; my wandering thoughts just get lie down on it and cuddle with those 'cushions' to mold and carve them into different shapes through my imagination : I just can't resist this funplay as a hobby.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Soon with open eyes that still resting on skybed I found myself into a half sleep dream that makes me fly high in the air with my thoughts.This place of high defined relief of being in self company takes me to another world where I do feel my internal existence through my thoughts. <br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
At this self-reliable state, these thoughts help me to find answers for those questions that might have been left unanswered in my brainy bag filled with daily deeds. <br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
One such question and with its founded answer was:<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
"What should one do to feel own internal existence ?" <br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Considering external appearance 'mirror image' will get thumbs up but for internal existence to be felt one need to find other ways to get connect with himself except if he desire to.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Just desiring can't be enough one must search the way accordingly ,with his own internal 'interest' which might led him to know the specific things about self while accepting limitations. Certainly there are many ways to get connect with ourselves : reading interesting books , writing articles and poems , travelling natural scenic places or historical sites , garderning wonder land and many other strange one, that all quite seems to be like our 'hobbies'. <br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Yes, hobbies with which we can get along with ourselves and really can look through 'the mirror' that enable us to feel our existence for ourselves. Hobbies let us do something we love—something we don't have to do for any other or any other reason except that make us able to feel a rush of excitement and joy for own existence. <br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Hobbies are often something for which we think to have tons of free time even with bussy schedule.Having hobbies are worth because of the many emotional, mental, pschological and physical benefits like stress management in today's bussy bee life and leading our mind to new ways of seeing the world. Hobbies are also our internal mirror replicas as by knowing them one can have introduction with himself as well as could bond with others too, so preserve and serve hobbies to have joy ride with your own artistic persona.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
What are my hobbies? One of them is quite strange and I have already shared it in very first para of this article. It helped me to get connect with my own thoughts to build up self aura and I need to be thankful about.<br />
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Hmmm...In between this internal conversation, again I started my funplay hobby. This time I was shaping one of the cloud to look like my little 'Angel's face'. After a while I called her, "Come here. Look ...." But I lowered my voice soon as that sculpture of cloud resembled to her could only get recognised by an artist who carved it. Thanks to my 'hobby.<br />

<div dir="ltr">
<b> </b><br />
Isn't it true ....that 'Nature's beauty' do hold silence. Silence that can inspire our thought process.<br />
Being in Nature's arm for a while even I do forget all my worries. That moment I can hear the silence which my mind sense deeply and my heart tries to hold a breath as to keep that feeling long lasting in my thoughts. Like blood corpuscles flows in veins to reach body parts and oxygenate cells to energise them to do desired work in same manner these inspired thoughts make their way in to my brain enable it to view fresh ideas through that silence of nature . How wonderfully Nature's silence inspire us to be creative with views ; to be fresh with memories ; to be innovative with ideas ; to be happy by forgetting our day today worries and lots more accordingly one's approach.</div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<div dir="ltr">
Somewhere as getting along with this Nature's silence train , my hearing sense organ made me to hear other sounds too; chirping of birds, rustling of leaves , shopping sound of breeze and low whispering voices of nearby passing people . These various sounds actually join me on my thoughtful journey and make it more ideally pleasant.</div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<div dir="ltr">
This silently heard Nature's voice reminds me some of my very own memories with it just like mom use to tell her kids stories of their childhood who they forgot in between. One of mesmerising incident with Nature I do get remember very well is of couple of week ago.</div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<div dir="ltr">
I with my family of two daughters and their father were to explore Frankfurt (Main) Hauptbahnhof and after taking fantastic express tour by bus ; we decided to take some amount of rest at Metzerpark. This park was so beautiful with people enjoying spring's sunny day. My kids just got engaged in catch play with pigeons in the park. My husband was there with kids to look after them as not getting them too close to river side. I was sitting on grass and as usual took Nature's silence train. Just I was travelling through it suddenly kind of small brown coloured 'helicopter ' landed on my knee side. I picked up it and observe carefully. Being a Botany student I got to know it was a fruit of Maple tree. There were hundreds of Maple fruits already have spreaded on grass little bit away from its huge parent trees. Maple tree fruits have seeds enclosed in it with a flattened wing of fibrous , paper tissue structure to have seed dispersion by means of wind. So these are shaped to spin in air to carry contained seeds to a considerable distance on the wind for further germination and propagation. Having such distinctive structure these fruits are known by many names like helicopters, whirlybirds.</div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<div dir="ltr">
I was started collecting some of Maple fruits from nearby grass playing with them by throwing in air and it's amazing as they spin and land on ground not that far away. Suddenly I thought might these maple fruits helped our mankind by their structure to invent something to fly so they are called as'helicopters' : the way that they spin as they fall. I was just picked up my phone googled to Wikipedia to look about maple fruit and as I was sure these maple seeds gave idea to develop a special air drop which was used during world war II. That time it also added up to my knowledge through silence of Nature I have pursued mean while.</div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="color: #222222;">" Hey , Mom " ,my younger daughter said," I also want to play with it , what it is?" She took one of fruit wing from me started throwing them and clapping in between ; might be she was observing me from last some minutes and got attracted towards these 'whirlybirds' like me.</span></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div align="left">
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="color: #222222;">I look out around and stare at the fly of' ' Maple seed'</span><span style="color: #222222;"> that my daughter just have thrown .....really Nature's silence is so contented for those who knows how to get inspire from it.</span><br />
