Season of love and sharing ….

 One of old post from wordpress ... Dec 2017....

********************************************

With Diwali gone by and Christmas coming soon, this is the season of Love and Sharing πŸ™‚

Recently, I was witness to the spirit of giving in action. It so happened, I was returning from my hometown to my workplace in a train. There was this young boy(maybe aged 15-17 yrs) who was seated in my opposite seat(lets call him X). I didn’t observe the boy much till the time, the train reached (maybe) Tumkur station. Here one boy(lets call him Y) and his father got into the train and they sat next to this boy. The two boys were having some usual conversation for sometime. At one point the boy Y, asked boy X what was pinned to his bag?  There was a smiley sticker pinned to boy X’s bag. Boy X said its a smiley and he had many of them and after giving some of them one was left with him πŸ™‚ . At this point boy Y, asked if he can get that smiley? Boy X, immediately took the smiley from his bag and gave it to Y and told its for you, you can keep it with you.  Boy Y felt happy at this and thanked X. After this the boy X left, as his destination came.

I felt happy at this display of spirit of sharing in action. In this materialistic world, I was amazed how this boy X, gave what he had, to another person without much thought. We should be proud of such people, who share what they have without much thought. In today’s world, we have seen many billionaires donating their wealth for social causes genuinely and some people doing for sake of tax breaks, publicity etc too. But, whatever maybe the case the spirit of sharing should be encouraged in today’s world, where there is huge gap between the have’s and have not’s. Only then can we see the world becoming a better place to live in πŸ™‚  May god bless all such souls.

Season’s Greetings and Happy New Year πŸ™‚

Give Your Best, Leave the Rest...

The other day, I stumbled upon an Instagram reel that transported me back to the late 90s. It was a clip from 'Movers and Shakers', the late-night talk show hosted by Shekhar Suman that aired on Sony TV between 1997 and 2001. For those who remember, it was one of those shows that carried both wit and warmth, a cultural marker of its time.   This particular reel featured actor Ashutosh Rana, narrating his early struggles in the world of cinema. He recalled a piece of advice someone had given him:   " Ek cheez dhyaan rakhna. Kaam… kaam hota hai. Kaam chota, bada nahin hota. Aur avasar hamesha chote hote hai. Aur parinaam uske vilakshan hote hai. Vilakshan parinaam ke liye, tum bade avasar ki talaash mat karna. Ishwar ka sanket chota hee hota hai, kyuki wo bahut bada hai ."  Translated, it means: “Keep one thing in mind. Work is work. No job is small or big. Opportunities are always small, but their results are extraordinary. For extraordinary results, don’t go sea...

The Equalizer Called Time...

In the 2025 TV series 'Paradise' (Season 2, Episode 3), there’s a conversation between Dr. Louge and Samantha Redmond aka. Sinatra, the tech billionaire, about the imminent apocalypse on earth, that feels less like fiction and more like prophecy. Sinatra, insists that she can shield her family from the apocalypse: “ I have the motive and the resources to do whatever it takes. ”   Dr. Louge listens, almost amused. He replies: “ Billionaires are amazing. You think your money gives you superpowers. You don’t like traffic, you buy a helicopter. You don’t like strangers, you buy an island. There’s only one thing that can fix this. And it’s the one thing even you can’t buy. ” Sinatra asks, “ And what’s that? ”   Dr. Louge replies, “ Time .”   Time,  the simplest word, the hardest truth. Because isn’t that the paradox of our age? We live in a world where money bends reality—shrinks distances, builds fortresses, buys convenience. Yet, when it comes to the most...

What we see is, what we think we see...

   In the Season 2,Episode 1 of the TV series, 'The Brokenwood Mysteries'(2014), Detective Inspector Mike Shepard (the main character) asks Jared Morehu (Shepherd's Māori neighbour) , " I mean to ask, what does Quantum Physics have to do with gardening? ".  Jared: " Well everything.... Quantum Physics is the theory that logically leads to the conclusion that everything is inter-related and that, what we see with our eyes is only a shallow outer form of a much deeper reality ".  Mike: " What we see is ...".  Jared: " What we see is, what we think we see. But, what's really there is most likely something, we haven't even seen yet " That line made me think deeper, not because it’s about quantum physics, but because it’s about us and how shaky our view of reality, really is. It reminds us that perception is not truth; it’s a lens, a filter, a story we tell ourselves about the world. We move through days convinced we know what’s h...
