Aye Chand ...

A beautiful song from the movie "Tera Jadoo Chal Gaya". Sung by Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik.

Aye chaand teri
Aye chaand teri chandni ki kasam
Mere paas bhi ek chaand hai
Tujhme to phir bhi daag hai -2
Mera chaand to bedaag hai
Teri dooriyon ki kasam,
mera chaand mere paas hai
Aye chaand teri
Aye chaand teri chandni ki kasam

Kiranon se bhari subaha ho,
taaro se bhari shaam - 2
Maujo mein tera chehraa,
phoolon mein tera naam - 2
Mere mehboob sanam, tu mera ehsaas hai
Aye chaand teri chandni ki kasam

--FEMALE--
Aa ha aa ha....mm hmmm...
Tareef karo na itni tum,
saansen hai ruki jaati - 2
Aati hai sharam si mujhko,
aankhen hai jhuki jaati - 2
Meri dhadkanon mein sanam,
har ghadhi teri pyaas hai

--MALE--
Aye chaand teri
Aye chaand teri chandni ki kasam
Mere paas bhi ek chaand hai
Tujhme to phir bhi daag hai - 2
Mera chaand to bedaag hai
Teri dooriyon ki kasam,
mera chaand mere paas hai
Aye...ohhh...ohh...

YOU or ME?

The law of attraction says, “Like attracts like”. That means, if you are thinking something good, universe will force good things come to you and if you are thinking of bad, you will manifest the same.

When this is told openly, lot of questions come around “self”. It is ME that thinks some good for me and then if somebody else thinks just the opposite, which one the universe is going to support for. Conflicts come around any common goal or common thing. You want some thing to be in one way whereas your friend or relative wants the same in another way. Conflict and more of conflict. YOU or ME; YOURS or MINE is the always conflicting part that all of us face in day to day life.

“Ask, believe and receive” is the principle. Well said, but then who gets that if two people asks and believes too!?

The truth is that the entire reality is your creation. You think something to happen in someway and the universe supports you there. If you think of conflict, yes, you will get more of conflict, as the universe thinks you are longing for the conflict; somewhere in your consciousness you have registered yourself for the conflict and according to the law of attraction, you will get more of conflict.

So feel good about your creation, feel grateful for the world… Create the reality that you really want by thinking that, by making decisions and holding intentions. Think what you desire, not what you don’t want to have or don’t want to get. Focus on what you want, rather what others may want or things that you don’t want.

Everything is manifestation of your consciousness. You see others as you want them to be, not as they really are. You see yourself as you want yourself to be. So change your mindset, change your thinking. Think “good” and get “good”. Let the “Law of attraction” play for US, not only for YOU or only for ME.

Zero Percentile

"Zero Percentile: Missed IIT, Kissed Russia" is one more novel by Indian author "Neeraj Chhibba" that I completed last weekend.

A book to read through if you are interested to know about Russia. The author has beautifully brought the internals of USSR. It is not like other good books that keep you captivated until you finish the last page of that... It is a good story, but not a good storytelling...

Zero Percentile is a heady cocktail of the fascinating adventures of Pankaj, a less favoured son of destiny across two completely different countries, India and Russia.

As a brilliant young boy Pankaj never imagines that he will ever be swamped with problems. Life with his friends Motu and Priya is fun. Always destined to go to IIT, a cruel accident makes him end up in a place he had never heard of before, Volgograd – a Russian ‘City of Heroes’, so-called for its role in the Second World War for stopping Hitler’s assault on Russia.

At hostel, in Volgograd, life is entirely different. There, not brain but brawn rules, which makes him land in jail after being induced into a gruesome brawl over food, with other very powerful and aggressive hostellers. Desperate for a win, he masterminds a coup, but makes the Dean his enemy instead who becomes hell-bent on destroying him. The journey never eases for him after that. Under extreme peer pressure he tries hard to lose his virginity and then cope with the agony of his best friend Nitin getting infected with HIV.

After his father’s death, he struggles to sustain himself in a highly expensive, newly capitalist Russia. His seniors, who he always looks upto as Gods unexpectedly turn into his enemy and conspire to ruin him with the help of the local mafia. He takes the gauntlet of fighting all these adversities and emerges victorious ultimately only to succumb to love.

Am I writing a book?

Well, “Am I writing a book”, rather, “Am I really going to write a book” is a question to myself. For the readers, assume that this post is telling, “I am going to write a book!”… And to my friends, when I threw this idea, comments flew from different directions with different thoughts and here they go:

Aditya:

Yeh sab chakkar mein mat raho… (Don’t be in this fantasy…). Yeh pyar, mohabbat mein mat pado, jaldi se ek ladki dekho and shaadi karlo (Don’t be in this love, find a girl soon and get married!)

Anil:

“Abbey pehle to kitab ka naam sochle… Waise tu kya likhega? Sab sach likhna hai, agar tum tumhare baare mein likh rahe ho!” (First think of the name of the book. By the way, what are you going to write there? Write all truth if you are going to write about yourself!)

Deepa:

I know you can do it. I want to see your name as author of some book. And please do not write your nickname as the author name, I won’t be able to guess whether that is you… Well, what are you going to write the book about?

"Love, Friendship and Leadership" I said.

“Leadership?, Interesting.. I know you can do it, but your book will not be as famous as Chetan Bhagat’s as you are not romantic and I think, you cannot write lots of romantic suttfs…" She said

And to that I agreed sarcastically…

Deepika:

Good yaar (Friend), I know tum likh sakte ho, itna accha jo blogging kar lete ho… (You can write it, as you do good blogging)… One thing, once you are through, show me that first, I want to read that first… To that, I said, may be you can be the first editor to that book...

Latha:

Which language will that book be in?

“English, obviously…” “What, are you thinking I am going to write in Tamil?”

“No no”, we have been just talking about Tamil language and you suddenly told that you are going to write a book… (Well, she was unaware that I always run two threads when I talk. And in this case, the threads were running in two different languages, Tamil and English!)

Yes, the language is English and madam, I am just thinking of this… And you need to wait for 1 year to see if this is true…

Prasad:

No comments. (I think he could not digest what I have been telling to him). May be he was thinking, Chinu and book, usko apne office ke kaam se furusat milta hai, jo who kuch karega…(Does he get time from his official work that he will do something else?...)

Surya:

Very good … I think same thinking process was going through his mind as Prasad’s when he said so…

I too had a love story…

“I too had a love story... A heartbreaking true love tale” is a fiction by yet another young Indian author, Ravinder Singh… I finished the book in just 1 day…

Simple, honest and touching story it is… The reality he has pen down in this book is really touching…

The very first line of this book starts as:

Not everyone in this world has the fate to cherish the fullest form of love. Some are born, just to experience the abbreviation of it.

I am sure, at the end of the book (Rather, at each stage of reading the book), you will feel the same, clearly putting yourself in one of these buckets (One having fate to experience the fullest form and the other having fate just to experience the abbreviation)

Types of Intelligences...

  1. Literary – Literary intelligence is about the capability to read and write as much as imagination. In a world in which we have to network and collaborate with dispersed teams, some in faraway lands and time zones, the capacity to build leadership proximity is determined by how well you express yourself through language. Developing excellent language skills is then extremely important.
  2. Musical – Music is about harmony. Studies indicate that children who play an instrument learn to ‘listen’ much better – they grow up to be empathetic professionals. Not everyone though is endowed with the intelligence to write lyrics, compose, perform or play an instrument, but the capacity to build appreciation can be cultivated by anyone, and it has several benefits beyond just entertainment.
  3. Kinesthetic – Great sportspersons have what is called kinesthetic intelligence. In certain kind of sports, you do not have time to think. Such people have intelligence in their muscles, learning ability in their hands and legs. They are able to take critical decisions involving the body and the mind on-the-fly where each move is a new move, and sometimes life depends on it.
  4. Interpersonal – There are many people who are better able to converse, have the ability to make friends quickly, read other people’s emotions, and solve problems collaboratively. These people have a higher degree of interpersonal intelligence. They build more empathy and can work better as part of a group. This is hugely important for people who want to lead.
  5. Intra-personal – Some people are more self-aware than others. Those who are self-aware have a realistic understanding of who they are, what their true needs are, they are emotionally stable and can deal with the ups and downs in life and work far better. These people have a higher degree of Intra-personal intelligence. This is extremely important in professionals whose decisions impact a large number of people.
  6. Spatial – Spatial intelligence gives us navigational capacity. In the days of yore, among seafarers, some were specially chosen for their navigational skills. On an overcast night, they could steer a ship and instinctively know true north. In today’s world, in a profession like selling, you realize that some salespeople can map and chart a client organization much better than others. Some people can land in an alien town and map it so well that they become demonstrably more productive than others. These are spatially more intelligent people.
  7. Naturalistic – Alluding to our hunting and farming days, every tribe had someone who was better at recognizing animal calls, knew one animal from another by looking at hoof or pug marks. That individual was very important for the safety of the hunters and success of the mission. When farming dominated human activity, this person was the one who knew one herb from another, could tell you which wild mushroom to eat and which one would kill you. He was the one gifted with naturalistic intelligence. As we all become more environmentally aware and sensitive to the planet, naturalistic intelligence, that is, the ability to relate to the nature world, will be much more in demand across professions.
  8. Spiritual or Existential – We are all hardwired to appreciate the presence of a higher power. Some people can connect more easily with the spiritual world and as a result they can better deflect anxiety, can better deal with loss, and can better balance decisions with yardsticks of morality and self-governance. Such professionals, who know and can do the right thing, will increasingly become relevant in the world of business …

2009 Vs. 2010

Again a year is gone and I am all ready with my enthusiasm and energy to grasp a new year 2010. As in last year, I have something new to achieve in this year too, both personally and professionally... To remind me for the years to come, let me point the things that I wanted to do in 2009 and how it really went...
  1. I wanted to read lots of Technical books, but I ended up reading lots of Novels... Well, the word was "reading" and I think, I did it...
  2. My mother wanted me to buy a house for us, but landed up buying some land... Hopefully, some day it will shape into my dream house... So, in a sense, it will come true some day and I think, I stepped the first step towards that...
  3. Wanted to watch all hindi movies being released this year, but missed lot of them managing to squeeze only some of them into my busy schedule...
  4. Had lots of load at office, which forced me to drag myself away from my friends, that later became one of my achievements to some extent (Though lot of friends kept on complaining me asking the very reason of the detachment, and for them, I always had a lame answer "I was very busy with official work")
  5. Somewhere down the line, I did realize that I should do some exercise daily, and hence started "Morning Walk" as first step towards that... Though it started late in this year, I am thinking to carry forward this in the new year 2010.
  6. Made holy trips to Haridwar, Rishikesh, Shiridi and places like Delhi, Pune, Nasik, Bangalore this year with my mother... For the first time, my mother flew from Chennai to Delhi and from Pune to Bangalore... This was a happy achievment for me... Hope to do some more holy place visits in year 2010...

Happy New Year 2010

Here are My Wishes for You...

Hours of happy times with friends and family
Abundant time for relaxation
Prosperity
Plenty of love when you need it the most
Youthful excitement at lifes simple pleasures

Nights of restful slumber (you know - dont' worry be happy)
Everything you need
Wishing you love and light

Years and years of good health
Enjoyment and mirth
Angels to watch over you
Rembrances of a happy years!

The Secret

The Secret Revealed
1. The Great Secret of Life is the law of attraction.
2. The law of attraction says “like attracts like”, so when you think a thought, you are also attracting like thoughts to you
3. Thoughts are magnetic, and thoughts have a frequency. As you think thoughts, they are sent out into the Universe, and they magnetically attract all like things that are on the same frequency. Everything sent out returns to the source – you.
4. You are like a human transmission tower, transmitting a frequency with your thoughts. If you want to change anything in your life, change the frequency by changing your thoughts.
5. Your current thoughts are creating your future life. What you can think about the most or focus on the most will appear as your life.
6. Your thoughts become things.

Secret Made Simple
1. The law of attraction is a law of nature. It is as impartial as the law of gravity.
2. Nothing can come into your experience unless you summon it through persistent thoughts.
3. To know what you’re thinking, ask yourself how you are feeling. Emotions are valuable tools that instantly tell us what we are thinking.
4. It is impossible to feel bad and at the same time have good thoughts.
5. Your thoughts determine your frequency, and your feelings tell you immediately what frequency you are on. When you feel bad, you are on the frequency of drawing more bad things. When you feel good, you are powerfully attracting more good things to you.
6. Secret Shifters, such as pleasant memories, nature, or your favourite music, can change your feelings and shift your frequency in an instant.
7. The feeling of love is the highest frequency you can emit. The greater the love you feel and emit, the greater the power you are harnessing.

How to use the Secret
1. Like Aladdin’s Genie, the law of attraction grants our every command.
2. The Creative Process helps you create what you want in three simple steps: ask, believe, and receive.
3. Asking the Universe for what you want is your opportunity to get clear about what you want. As you get clear in your mind, you have asked.
4. Believing involves acting, speaking, and thinking as though you have already received what you’ve asked for. When you emit the frequency of having received it, the law of attraction moves people, events, and circumstances for you to receive.
5. Receiving involves feeling the way you will feel once your desire has manifested. Feeling good now puts you on the frequency of what you want.
6. Starting with something small, like a cup of coffee or parking spaces, is an easy way to experience the law of attraction in action. Powerfully intend to attract something small. As you experience the power you have to attract, you will move on to creating much bigger things.
7. Create your day in advance by thinking the way you want it to go, and you will create your life intentionally.

Powerful Processes
1. Expectation is a powerful attractive force. Expect the things you want, and don’t expect the things you don’t want.
2. Gratitude is a powerful process for shifting your energy and bringing of what you want into your life. Be grateful for what you already have, and you will attract more good things.
3. Giving thanks for what you want in advance turbo-changes your desires and sends a more powerful signal out into the Universe.
4. Visualization is the process of creating pictures in your mind of yourself enjoying what you want. When you visualize, you generate powerful thoughts and feelings of having it now. The law of attraction then returns that reality to you, just as you saw it in your mind.
5. To use the law of attraction to your advantage, make it a habitual way of being, not just a one-time event.
6. At the end of every day, before you go to sleep, go back through the events of the day. Any events or moments that were not what you wanted, replay them in your mind the way you wanted them to go.

The Secret to Money
1. To attract money, focus on wealth. It is impossible to bring more money into your life when you focus on the lack of it.
2. It is helpful to use your imagination and make-believe you already have the money you want. Play games of having wealth and you will feel better about money; as you feel better about it, more will flow into your life.
3. Feeling happy mow is the fastest way to bring money into your life.
4. Make it your intention to look at everything you like and say to yourself, “I can afford that. I can buy that.” You will shift your thinking and begin to feel better about money.
5. Give money in order to bring more of it into your life. When you are generous with money and feel good about sharing it, you are saying, “I have plenty.”
6. Visualize checks in the mail.
7. Tip the balance of your thoughts to wealth. Think wealth.

The Secret to Relationships
1. When you want to attract a relationship, make sure your thoughts, words, actions, and surroundings don’t contradict your desires.
2. Your job is you. Unless you fill yourself, you have nothing to give anybody.
3. Treat yourself with love and respect, and you will attract people who show you love and respect.
4. When you feel bad about yourself, you block the love and instead you attract more people and situations that will continue to make you feel bad about you.
5. Focus on the qualities you love about yourself and the law of attraction will show you more great things about you.
6. To make a relationship work, focus on what you appreciate about the other person, and not your complaints. When you focus on the strengths, you will get more of them.

The Secret to Health
1. The placebo effect is an example of the law of attraction in action. When a patient truly believes the tablet is a cure, he receives what he believes and is cured.
2. “Focusing on perfect health” is something we can all do within ourselves, despite what may be happening on the outside.
3. Laughter attracts joy, releases negativity, and leads to miraculous cures.
4. Disease is held in the body by thought, by observation of the illness, and by the attention given to the illness. If you are feeling a little unwell, don’t talk about it – unless you want more of it. If you listen to people talk about their illness, you add energy to their illness. Instead, change the conversation to good things, and give powerful thoughts to seeing those people in health.
5. Beliefs about aging are all in our minds, so release those thoughts from your consciousness. Focus on health and eternal youth.
6. Do not listen to society’s message about diseases and aging. Negative messages do not serve you.

The Secret to the World
1. What you resist, you attract, because you are powerfully focused on it with emotion. To change anything, go within and emit a new signal with your thoughts and feelings.
2. You cannot help the world by focusing on the negative things. As you focus on the world’s negative events, you not only add to them, but you also bring more negative things into your own life.
3. Instead of focusing on the world’s problems, give your attention and energy to trust, love, abundance, education and peace.
4. We will never run out of good things because there’s more than enough to go around for everyone. Life is meant to be abundant.
5. You have the ability to tap into the unlimited supply through your thoughts and feelings and bring it into your experience.
6. Praise and bless everything in the world, and you will dissolve negativity and discord and align yourself with the highest frequency – love.

The Secret to You
1. Everything is energy. You are an energy magnet, so you electrically energize everything to you and electrically energize yourself to everything you want.
2. You are a spiritual being. You are energy, and energy cannot be created or destroyed – it just changes form. Therefore, the pure essence of you has always been and always will be.
3. The Universe emerges from thought. We are the creators not only of our own destiny but also of the Universe.
4. An unlimited supply of ideas is available to you. All knowledge, discoveries, and inventions are in the Universal Mind as possibilities, waiting for the human mind to draw them forth. You hold everything in your consciousness.
5. We are all connected, and we are all One.
6. Let go of difficulties from your past, cultural codes, and social beliefs. You are the only one who can create the life you deserve.
7. A shortcut to manifesting your desires is to see what you want as absolute fact.
8. Your power is in your thoughts, so stay aware. In other words, “Remember to remember.”

The Secret to Life
1. You get to fill the blackboard of your life with whatever you want.
2. The only thing you need to do is feel good now.
3. The more you use the power within you, the more power you will draw through you.
4. The time to embrace your magnificence is now.
5. We are in the midst of a glorious era. As we let go of limiting thoughts, we will experience humanity’s true magnificence, in every area of creation.
6. Do what you love. If you don’t know what brings you joy, ask, “What is my joy?” As you commit to your joy, you will attract an avalanche of joyful things because you are radiating joy.
7. Now that you have learned he knowledge of The Secret, what you do with it is up to you. Whatever you choose is right. The power is all yours.
