World

Your hunger should be motivation for your success;

Your desire should be fodder for your growth;

Your impulse should be incentive for your aim;

Your persuation should be your provocation;

Your reason should be your push for work;

Your urge for knowledge should be your stiumulous.

These are the words which give comfort in unruly areas. There is nothing like putting one’s emotions in words. Enjoy how words rushing through your pen to help you out from this present state of turmoil that has been afflicting the society.

Still, you should work for the country with a nationalistic feeling and thinking at the same time for universal brotherhood.

Don’t afraid of people who don’t know their existence, but only know how to look for food----which even a bug, bird and beast do.

People take false pride in singing paeans of Lal, Bal, Pal and Gandhiji. In reality, they are cashing in on the images of these great patriots.

One can't but feel ashamed, pity and angry at those who don’t know how to lead the people...as this his world is not for sensible people, who, anyway, have taken a back seat, leaving people like .... ..... ........ , who have left things in a mess.

A place where respect and affection are equated with a strainer, you can’t expect much. Hooray !

Lawless

Staying in a lawless state is equivalent to stay in a state of mourning eternally. This reminds us to the famous quote ----

"If indeed you must be candid, be candid beautifully; otherwise keep silent, for there is a man in our neighbourhood who is dying."

Hair cut

Employer: Shyam, why did you get your hair cut during office hours?

Shyam: It grew during office hours sir.

Employer: You mean to say all that hair ?

Shyam: I didn't cut all of it sir.

Police

"The police should not depend on media to get their intelligence inputs. Instead the police should inform the media about happenings in their command area.

Inspirational Guru

A person told me that one of his detractors had been trying to dislodge him from his chair to occupy it with unethical means.

I suggested him to read a book written by an inspirational guru.

Following are some exerpts from that book;

"Change Fear into Excitement

Worry into Wonder

Expectation into Anticipation

Resistance into Acceptance

Disappointment into Detachment

Enrangement into Engagement,

Addiction into Preference

Requirement into Contentment

Judgment into Observation

Sadness into Happiness

Thought into Presence

Reaction into Response

and

Time of Turmoil into a Time of Peace' ---Hooray !

Employees

Stop breaking heads teaching pig-headed employees. They can't learn even if your head cracks. Take consolation from the following line and stay cool.

"Pity that the stags cannot teach swiftness to the turtles."

Conscience

"It is easier to cope with a bad conscience than with a bad reputation."

Gandhiji

We are operating in a dog-eat-dog world which Gandhiji never approved.

Naxalism

A senior IAS officer of Jharkhand recently told the Kolkata press that naxalism in Jharkhand had been exaggerated, hurting tourism in the state. A couple of months later, Union Home Minister declares Jharkhand along with Chhatisgarh as the 'epicentre' of naxalism.

Boredom

Backbiting is the outcome of some persons' fear and jealousy. The following lines from a famous author can erase the two dreaded senses from their mind.

"What he had once hoped for the Flock, he now gained for himself alone; he learned to fly, and was not sorry for the price that he had paid. Jonathan Seagull discovered that boredom and fear and anger are the reasons that a gull's life is so short, and with these gone from his thought, he lived a long fine life indeed."

Ravan1

A man and his son had come to a fair where hundreds of people were celebrating the burning of Ravan's effigy.

Here is a brief dialogue between the son and his father over the effigy burning.

Son - Papa, why Ravan's effigy is being burnt.
Father - Because Ravan was an evil and pigheaded character who stole Ram's wife Sita.

Son - But the person who lighted the effigy himself is facing charges of bigamy and swindling of government funds.

The man hussed up his son and headed home without waiting the effigy to reduce to ashes.

Boss

"Where boss is subordinate to peons that organisation will not grow."

Shashi Tharoor

".....To my fellow-citizens-of-the-future, Independence Day merely meant early mornings in starched uniforms on parade grounds, relieved only by the comforting thought of no more classes....

"India's challenge is not to perfect it, but simply to make it better than it now is....

"Economic change must reach the ordinary Indian; it must, as it has done in Malaysia and Indonesia, resulting a visible improvement in the standard of living of the overwhelming majority of the people, including the poorest of the poor. This means that liberalization must produce not only shinier foreign cars for the affluent but jobs for the unemployed food for the hungry, and sending money in the hands of the needy."

These lines were found in Shashi Tharoor's India --- FROM MIDNIGHT TO THE MILLENNIUM.

Fables

"When you want to say something, say it frankly instead of taking the route of fables."


"I find it deplorable people asking about region, religion and linguistic identities during introductions."

Journalist

'How to survive in a corrupt system with the powers-that-be constantly armtwisting journos for writing materials that do not suit them and sidelining such scribes who ask unfriendly, but genuine questions ?'

The answer to this can be found in this famous quote ---"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."

Good

"My goodness has become a disadvantage in my profession."

Govt

"...In a democracy people are allowed to use their reason...When you don't like a government, you can turn the rascals out without overthrowing the system...."

Thought of the day

"When in doubt, tell the truth."
