Drops of water make an ocean

Every object on this earth is built by the connection of a number of tiny entities called atoms. Each year is formed by the combination of 365.25 days while each day is made up of 24 hours consisting of 60 minutes each. Sachin Tendulkar's hundred hundreds were formed by the collection of 10,000 one-runs. Reliance industries became a huge empire of business like that of TATAs by the combination of individual businesses. Likewise every work of ours requires tiny inputs to result in a huge output.

Many of us may or may not have big dreams and big goals in life. This doesnt matter at all because everyone of us have to be ready to earn the basic necessities of life. In this process we definitely come across many things which need to be done in order to accomplish the purpose. Some of them might be small while some of them might be huge but we need to remember that it doesnt matter whether the activity is small or big, only the completion matters the most. Even if one activity is neglected or ignored the process remains incomplete. The first message I would like to convey here is 'see no task as big or small, JUST complete it' because that is what completes the process.

Amidst many tasks at hand sometimes there are chances that we might be afraid or we might be too lazy to execute some of the tasks. At such instances the simplest way of pushing ourselves to perform the tasks is to set a time limit for the completion of the task. Once this time is set, we have no other go. We are forced by our subconscious to start and finish off the tasks one after the other. If the completion of one task is delayed it will affect the completion of the subsequent task. So the second message is 'set time frame for every task'.

After all we are humans. 'To err is human' is an age old saying. The human memory might fall short of remembering all tasks or even the report of tasks done. This may either lead to forgetting of the tasks or repeating of the tasks already done. Tasks undone dont complete the process and tasks redone waste the extra time and efforts which could have been used for another task. The best way to avoid both of these is by using a 'To-DO List'. Write down all those tasks which you need to complete in a list. Keep ticking off the tasks which are completed. This would be the best report card for yourself. This will keep track of the day you would have lived. The third message is 'Prepare a 'To-Do List' everyday for the next day'.

If you can get the above three messages completely inculcated in your daily life routine I am sure you would be much ahead in your life than what you would have been without using them.

Rules in Life aren't Laws of Life

Every now and then in our day to day activities we see rules before proceeding. We follow certain rules and we break some. Knowingly or unknowingly some rules are designed to cause more trouble than to provide any good. Some of us formulate our entire life around these rules but get entagled in the spider web whereas some break the rules, go beyond them and either get penalised or successful. Its quite a contradiction that sometimes you win only by breaking the rules.

Having a one-way is the rule of traffic, but when an ambulance is having a patient this rule can be broken because the Law of life is to live, not to die because of the rule. While signing a contract a person can dedicate his time and efforts for the work as mentioned in the rules of the agreement but he need not dedicate his life for money as it is against the Law of life itself. Life is much bigger than money. Strictest of the rules are broken during the 2 most important phases of life as engraved in the writing "Everything is fair in LOVE and WAR"  because rules were meant to be broken infront of the Laws of life.

There is a big challenge to the framers and followers of rules because rules have their own dimensions to operate within. Once the boundaries of caste, religion, state and colour are crossed even the most followed rules become completely invalid when they are found to intimidate the Laws of life which are happiness, love and satisfaction. I would definitely recommend you to follow the rules but be cautious of not ignoring the laws of humanity in the process. Depending on the situation, certain rules can be ammended in order to safeguard the laws of mankind.

Whatz your Glamour Quotient?

Like IQ and EQ, in the present day world the new quotient that everyone is hunting for and is rated for is the GQ that is the "Glamour Quotient". I am completely unaware if there is any test to find out one's GQ but am sure of one thing that everyone of us is scanned by the GQ scanner in others' eyes every moment of our lives. Right from the time you wake up in the morning till the time you go to bed someone or the other is watching how handsome or how beautiful you look, might not be consciously but subconsciously for sure.

I am not talking about the cinematic way of glamour which has gone a lot of levels below the respectable standards. The Glamour Quotient that I am referring is how well and how attractive can you present yourself in front of the crowd that you not only earn their respect but also send some current through the strings of their guitar in their hearts. This would be the best blend of the highest glamour quotient that you can achieve for yourself. The reason I am stressing on this topic today is because 'People see you first and then listen to you'. Out of the 5 sense organs we have, eye is the most important one which catches every action first before any other. As the saying goes 'First impression is the best impression', I feel the first impression is always casted by you by your looks. Dont undermine your looks my dear friend.

Even I have heard to lot of those advices when advisors advise you to be very simple when it comes to dressing up yourself. Examples of Mahatma Gandhiji and Narayan Murthy are the most prominent in these advices. Do you know the about the dressing style of Mahatma Gandhiji when he was a lawyer before entering freedom fight? He used to dress up in the best of the English, parsis dresses for different occasions. NarayanMurthy sir never attended any conference meetings of Infosys in plain pant and shirt. He used to be always in the best of the formal suits. Be simple at your attitude and look fabulous by your style. This is what makes the perfect blend of GQ. Only when the magnet attracts, the iron filings stick to it. Only when you have the capacity to attract people, can you pass your ideas to them.

Generation after generation the dressing style is changing. Make sure that you are not carried away by the lower standards of wearing torn clothes. Look out for dresses that suit your body structure the best. Choose specific colours which can match with your complexion. Learn to wear a dress which suits for the occasion and the kind of people you will be with. If you are not aware of these things find a person who has caught your eyes with his/her looks. Take the help of him/her to help you out in shopping. Models, people in the entertainment field are the best choice for company. Come out of the shell and stand infront of the mirror to check out in which dress you look the best. Spend sometime trying out different clothes, observing well-dressed people and statues in the shops where different dresses are showcased. Also go for some really cool shoes or sandals which match with the kind of dress you intend to wear. Goggles which really match well with your face complexion and shape will definitely increase your Glamour quotient. Last but not the least make sure you have a proper haircut if you are a guy or neatly combed hairstyle if you are a girl. Also with regular exercises and good workouts you can have the best figure to fit into the trendiest of the clothes. I would strongly recomment that a body in good shape can enhance even the beauty and glamour of the dress you wear.

Final suggestion would be - FEEL LIKE A SUPERSTAR in whatever you wear. This feeling itself adds on tonnes to your Glamour Quotient.

I have tried my best to present to you all the lessons that I have learnt in the past few years about enhancing the glamour quotient alongwith the logical reasons to do the same considering all limitations. Find yourself the most gorgeous, the most glamourous, the most attractive, the most handsome in front of the mirror because you deserve to be one.

Only one line people should be singing after seeing you which should be
"Dekha tho thuje yaar Dil mein baji guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Self-Cheat > Else-Cheat

Probably everyone one of us in this world is a cheater. At one point or the other in our life we have cheated. Please dont get me wrong. I am not blaming anyone here. Its the basic instinct of any living being on this earth to take the easier path. Seldom do we select the longer and harder path for any of our tasks. I am not against taking easier paths. Any sane mind would always choose the simpler and easier way of doing something than the harder one. But one thing we need to be cautious is that we are not breaking any rules of the game while going for the easier shortcut. Would we take the same shortcut if the monitor of the task is right in front of us? If the answer is YES, cheers! carry on but if the answer is NO, then you have started cheating.

In life we would have witnessed innumerable people who cheat others for different kinds of reasons. They always feel that they were just intelligent enough to fool the other person but they are absolutely wrong. They have forgotten that in the process of cheating someone else they had cheated their own conscience. Lets bring down the level of cheating now. Forget cheating others there are numerous instances when we cheat ourselves. If we can win over this self-cheater we can win over the evil devil of cheating others.

We would have decided that we will be on a diet for next one month but the sight of junk food makes us cheat ourselves to eat it. We would have decided to study for 4 continuous hours but the news of sports update cheats us into watching the game for one hour. We would have committed to work extra in office but the peopleless environment pushes us out of the seat to cheat our own commitment. You would have promised your mom to complete the housework but the thought of your friends partying makes you forget the promise. All the above instances may seem so natural and too silly to be discussed. If so, its how silly you take your own word. If you can cheat yourself, you can cheat anybody in this world.

The choice of cheating the self and taking the alternative path may bring momentary pleasure but never contentment. Try to challenge this inner cheating sense for once. There will be dilemma and negotiation in the mind between you and yourself for sometime but once this confusion subsides you will be able to see the clear path of fulfilling the commitment and the eternal happiness of having self-control rejuvinated. Instance by instance when you grow stronger through this experience of cheating-self versus yourself fight, you will achieve the highest level of self-control. From then on you will never have to yield to the excusitis syndrome and will be able to fulfill every commitment that you make to yourself or others.

After all , life is all about commiting to your dreams and fulfilling them which never gives an option to cheat yourself.

Man-made are not GOD-made

Man has grown to unimaginable extents imagined by few chosen ones on this earth. He has gone on to create spaceships where life can exist being completely in no contact with the earth. Man has developed jets that can travel faster than sound. Man has divided the earth into continents and countries where one man needs another man's permission to go from one country to the other. Was the earth created by man or God? Was the iron used to build the spaceships and jets put in the earth thousands of years ago by man or God?

Vehicles built by man serve him only upto few tens of years but the legs given by God serve him for lifetime. The computer built by man needs upgradation every couple of years but the brain given by God never ever requires upgradation. All materialistic pleasures built by man give only outside pleasure to man but the emotions and relationships gifted by God give eternal happiness to him. Cinemas created by man entertain as long as he is awake but the dreams generated by God entertain him even in sleep. Man could only build gardens but God built forests to protect the earth.

No matter how high man rises in his intellect and intelligence he can never surpass the supreme conscious being. Till today there has been no product built by man which is 100% defect-free whereas God-created ones are always 100% pure. Let's raise our conscious to get connected with that of HIS. Lets shed off the ego of mankind that has been depleting the earth of it purity day by day and surrender to the supernatural power. Only then there is a life of purity and bliss.
