Extincting Culture!!!

2010-10-23T12:49:00.000-07:00

When I Listen To Amitabh Bachhan & Sachin Tendulkar Thanking God & father after touching every Milestone, it gives me sense of dejavu. In present jet paced world we have forgotten the importance of keeping in touch with our root bearer. How often do we spend Precious Holidays with our ageing parents or bring them a gift worth appreciation. How often we remember those lines "yaad Atein Hai Log Chale Jaane ke Baad" may be only when our loved ones have departed or may Be when our own offspring would teach us a Lesson or two.I still rue those words my Mom often quote from Baghban Movie " A Parent can Bring up their Sons Easily But when it comes to their sons who are generally more capable than their counterparts,they Falter. Is It hoarding money or making your mark has so much overwhelmed us that we don't have much time to look at another human beings. Or The Machines have finally replaced all those animate things that sometime in the past were integral part of our lives. Well Definitely technology had given us enough tools get in touch with our loved ones for a moment or two & then get over it.The More we advance in Life & westernize ourselves the greater we leave our true roots. I Guess at least people 100 years before had some definite humane advantage over now.

The Tigers!!!!

2010-03-28T12:13:00.000-07:00

With the advent of New Information era we modernized ourselves in Seconds, Villages Turning into towns & Towns into Cosmopolitan City. Steadily but in jet speed we are building concrete jungles around ourselves. we still have kings & queens but in media & politics. Tigers we preserve & Cherish are the ones like Sachin, Shahrukh & Salmans or Rahuls. But its so strange that Rahul Gandhi could not take a quick stroll around sunderban delta to promote Extinct Tigers. Thats Helplessness of Media Savvy Population who
can spend sms time with Indian Idols & Dance India Dance but could not take a stance for expiring Tigers . As we celebrate Earth Day, forgetting the very moment the importance of extincting Forests & Animals & using it as pop culture syndrome. As Indians are adapt to corruption & growing population so are we inching towards seeing tigers only as a symbol of national animal one day . . .

Dil to Baccha Hai!!(Heart Is & Will Be A Child For Ever)

2010-01-09T13:59:00.000-08:00

The Song By Master Craftsmen GulZar ( Epitome of Indian Cinema) Strikes at basic essentiality of Human Essence & Existence...Do our Heart ever grows old, Does it has rights to love for ever or it should be subjected to ageing & worn out as our body does...Its War between Mind & Soul...One which gets demented & the other Grows beautiful every passing day .Its Conflict of opposites that surfaces everynow and then which is nothing but absolute truth. The parameters & Boundaries that our mind & Society limits has a far reaching consequences on Human Mind.In the Similar vein a female which Clears her menopause does not ever clears her sensuality & Love for another soul .But Still One has to go through Reality which trounces fiction .But every now and then their arises a revolt by the human faculty of Heart which is born for love and nothing else .The Rest of superficiality dies off with time.....If ever the Mind allows the Heart to Overtake itself , we could be and would be far more happy in Life than what we are!!!!!

HighWay of Information !!!

2010-01-03T08:04:00.000-08:00

You absolutely get Lost in this High Way ...Our Minds which appreciates ideas & innovation is today overburdened by ideas flowing to us through different medias & challenging our mere existence...We are overwhelming ourselves in a single room with enormous possibilities flowing in front of us through internet & cable media which is in its entirety robbing our essence of peace & harmony in some senses. So there must be some full stop or guiding force to allow only relevant media to surface across mind .but then there is danger of leaving behind of opportunities if we don't follow this information traveling greater than speed of light. although internet has empowered all & sundry & made an innovative mind working form back offices or garage to become CEOs but one has to tap only essentials & weed out the garbage in the process otherwise we are in danger of destroying our own valuable time in the process...

Life is Football Game !!!

2010-01-01T15:37:00.000-08:00

The winner exist with the Loser; both are spectrum of same phenomenon.As the king lives with the servant so is the kind exist with the ruthless. All are and has to be part of a being in order to create a balance; the perfect harmony starts from balance of opposites. In a Football match there is forward players & then there is defenders. to win the match every player has to perform at its best...If only forward plays then defenders lose the rhythm and vice versa. Similarly in life we have to play on all sides , one time as defender while other as forward , and the importance to appreciate the existent of both devour us from being entrapped in any one of them .So that we can move ahead with singularity .Those who do not understand the dynamics keep on either fighting or defending without ever wining or loosing and enjoying any of them.Play your match ,win or lose ,imbibe & celebrate ...That is the meaning & that is the purpose ..

No Resistence!!!

2009-12-27T03:11:00.000-08:00

When I Resist the moments that are meant to just be and try to impose our self obsessed impositions that are not me and in the way end up losing which is never becoming us.
Their is freedom in letting go!!! Peace in the flow !!! their is nothing to be achieved as everything is already achieved .We have just to imbibe the explicitly of the moments
without actually judging them. As Tao says the mere sending of us is a purpose in itself , we are to just align ourselves with least effort to that source and the rest is achieved in eternity . When We go placid & defenseless in the vastness of moments our true potentiality is revealed to us without much struggle. Most of our energy is wasted in combating & defensing ourselves & mind thinks that its doing a good job by showing you actual picture what it does not takes into account is the hidden dimensions & dynamism of a circumstance. it repels anything boring or ego defeating because thats how we are trained since our childhood ...To defend our personality in school, among peers, among siblings ,among families then when we grow up we are a bunch of defenders battling so many battles t one point not realizing that its draining our vital energy in the process.So We need to do lot of unlearning & self cleansing before we can really launch our brand in the world.Most of us read lot of books & imbibe ideas without ever acting on them & even if we act on few ,because of our previous karmic falsies it always drags us back from where we started. So letting go & allowing the Source to take its course may be one of the most radical change we can bring this year.And why not if till now nothing big is happening because of our own effort then lets try the other way by allowing nature to act through us, just trusting that if it can take care & bring us here from nothing with absolute perfectness then it can also drive us ahead with great vitality & rejuvenation. Just Once in a while keep aside ego from your actions & go with the flow!!

Whacky smile!!!

2009-12-16T08:12:00.000-08:00

I was weary eyed looking for a smile to come in my life, kept waiting for 10000 miles.
Since I was 15 years till now 55 my eyes felt like Rocky Mountain waiting for my beloved pie, she will arrive one day ,though she came innumerable times,my weary eyes kept on waiting for a thirsty smile.When I was In school I had crush on several Rosy cool, silently I waited for them to smile, they gave a grin so wild but never bothered to gave me a smile.I went into College with ever beaming wacky eyes hoping for another smile.
Several sombre Monroe lend their hands for a friend never willing to share their heart for that haunted eternal smile. I then married someone Hoping to find that smile, I found a trustful wife, beautiful mother with a tinge of amazing laughs but still kept on waiting for that rare divine heart warming smile. Again I met someone on the street who looked like the one meant for me ,hungry with thirsty soul gave my heart for that everlasting smile. The Smile didn't last long my quench getting ever strong I left two sacred wives just for the sake of that whacky smile .Now I am caught with cancer rusting my body with pain ,lying on bed alone with no one to take me home ever wondering why I left two beautiful soul just to end deserted for one whacky smile. . . . .

Dealing with Self-banishing - How to live with Surrender

2009-12-11T09:29:00.000-08:00

Take notice when self-criticism appears.
A certain thing acts as a trigger before you reproach yourself. You have cultivated a pattern where you subconsciously react to a situation. Becoming aware of your thoughts and feelings is the beginning of correcting your habit. Pause for a moment and listen to your internal critics. What are you saying to yourself?
Repeat to yourself; to err is human & forgive & forget

Boldly question yourself.
Is your mind chattering some old recordings of whatever bygones? Whose voice is it? Is it yours, your parents or someone who used to condemn you? Ask your inner self what it is trying to achieve? Have a conversation with yourself and boldly keep questioning each remarks and judgments.

Use different words to describe your experiences.
Words or the language you use can make or break you. When you disapprove yourself, you use words. The words affect your emotions and body sensations and then affect your state of mind.

Learn to use different words to describe your emotions and experiences. When you make a mistake, stop saying that you are stupid or useless. Instead say something that doesn't define you as incompetent.

Isn't it better if you say, "Okay, here a little boo boo. I'll do better the next time." It will help you change your state, laugh at yourself and lightens things up. When you are in a better mood, you can think well and find solutions.

Accept that there's no failure, just feedback.
When something goes wrong or if you have made a mistake, accept that as a feedback. It's just not the right strategy. Try another.

Refuse to give yourself a bad time.
Life and people are sometimes unfair. Look and find the positive instead of looking at what's wrong with you. What can you learn from the experience? It is no point giving yourself a hard time and feeling bad.

Instead of Subject Referral/object referral simply Observe.Watch the Punisher,witness
Just step aside from the chatter as its not you/but your old mental map which will take time & fall on its own if you do not feed it with your emotions. Become a monk while you do this. Remind yourself of surrender/raise both your arms in act to show it. it will vanish to leave you fresh.

Success is never final, failure is never fatal!!!

2009-12-11T08:34:00.000-08:00

Whan John Wooden gave these quotes he meant the underlying principles followed by millions of successful fellow beings on the planet.A setback in one area /subject/profession / affair never means end of the world.Most so called Failure people convict /confound/restrict/limit/electrocuting/shutting down/hiding themselves into darkness because of one or few minor or major failures in life. This basic principle of not giving much voice to failure tone in a journey,allowing oneself to learn & move on is profoundly developed in so called successful people in life.They might have failed thousands times more than average person does but they quickly turn their focus & determination in something they are good & efficient at rather than trying to mount repeated attacks with the same elements & faculties they had always put to use in the First place.Millions of e.g from Edison(failed in his class) Dhiru Bhai Ambani( banished by his father for not following his goals) , Bill gates( college drop out;failure in one angle) Abraham Lincoln( greatest failure in History before becoming president)to anybody you name it.They all used their potential despite repeated failures in one field & they were always soft on themselves without exiling or banishing themselves into darkness.The Sooner you can let go your past failure of any kind, forgiving yourselves completely in the process, the faster you will reach towards a bigger & brighter opportunity waiting for you in the line.Unless you keep your eyes off the setbacks,you cannot look for opportunities coming your way every moment.Failing on one side means the other side needs to be shined, or other angle needs to be sighted rather than brooding over the same event all over your life.
Thats why following principle of surrender you easily get detached/never attached to the end result( any how its going to drown itself with time) at the same time believing and enjoying your karma(work) gives you profound satisfaction & delight.
At the end its never confrontation between you and the society but you and your god/soul that matters most. . .

MIND GAMES!!! IT BOILS DOWN TO HOW YOU USE & CON/FUSE IT!!!

2009-12-10T12:36:00.000-08:00

If you can convince your mind of any undertaking that it is worth its effort & you direct it with absolute clarity along with intermittent success to prove that you are going on the right track ,then Mind does exactly whats it is asked for and you are on the path to unimaginable achievement. But the question is how to bring your mind to that point of Applied Faith.This has been of much debate since ancient times.The word Passion which is fore bearer of Happiness & peace has its origin deep inside the mental faculty.
No one knows from where it emanates but if I say it can be generated by constant exposure to certain things that you believe in & convince that it will work & produce maximum benefit of your time,the mind will certainly take the bait & mix it with passion & purpose to give you optimum results.So whatever happens in your environment since you attain intelligence works physiologically by balancing mechanism in your mind as the whole body has the ability to balance it according to its use.Every information filtering thus adds at subconscious & instinctive level to evolve into a map that is your boundary in which you work your whole life.The territory of this map is what you perceive & percept to act in future.This Map is your DNA towards achieving everything in life and you have the ability to expand & contract this map according to your exposure & faith in tackling it.What strikes the Deepest Chord of your brain & soul,generates maximum Power...Know your Deeper Elements & thus strike it often to slip into Infinite Intelligence. . .

Licking your wound is Loosing, F*** off past & Living Present is whats sets your winning tone.

2009-12-09T00:15:00.001-08:00

A whole lot of web sites & business runs around telling people to turn their thinking to turn their Life. Stick to positive thoughts no matter how & you will be taken over board to next life. But all these positive culture merely Lifts 1 or 2 person rest remains where they are & keep on buying these positive pop corn till they are dead or themselves convert into one of positive psychology Gurus. What people fails to realize is that every one is different with unique set of personalities and hence they need individual set of approach. some people no matter what keeps their one leg in their past ditches while try to move ahead on another leg. They don't understand that until they let go off their past mistakes & memories it will keep them bumping into same pit hole where they lived. The elevation should always be gradual rather than sudden.
All the concepts in their mind has to be rewritten & refreshed & allow patience & perseverance to work through trouble hours in ascending the ladder of hope for future.
The transformation is always slow & most of the fellows drop before they see the results or change their course before manifesting. However the truth is, we have some excellent gifts while also inherit few deficiencies.Lets us work with surrender realizing our gifts without doubt in them as in the end we all want to die peacefully.Amen

There is a Looser & a Winner lying within you!!! everymoment!!! How you Choose is upto you!!!

2009-12-07T15:52:00.000-08:00

Yes Thats true!!! We have both these personalities looking eye to eye into each other;
every moment!!!! So who gets the pie is determination of choice!!! But does every time you fail, you can afford to ignore ocean of negativity coming your way & looks the improbable winner point of view!!! Its really difficult but not impossible..we have several gifts humanity has given us that we can channel through our mind & allow only possible given gifts to manifest with optimum potentiality.

The Surrender way is One of them where an Observer is appointed to Look at your situation be it success/failure with ease & equality never getting drifted into any of them,never trying to grasp either of them ,Letting it go as it will always Go, and moving into next moment with absolute Freedom expecting another Gift (of failure or success) coming your way .This is the Only way counted by great epic like Gita & great mens like Buddha. Todays people like Jim MacLaren & Emmanuel Yeboah & innumerable others in history of our time had shown unimaginable courage & potential at the face of adversity to emerge as great survivors of their time...

EMOTIONAL ENTANGLEMENT!!!

2009-12-03T14:04:00.000-08:00

When In Every day life we indulge in thoughts from our past about how some thing went wrong in our relationships, stepping into it then swirling deep into oblivion defending & fighting our actions & reactions all in Imagination!!! How many times you have found yourself juggling with these emotional Nightmares....Thinking that its our state of mind we have no control & thus generating feelings & vibrations out of sync with what we are there by falling in vicious cycle of misery & helplessness. Creating Conditional Happiness by asking if that person may have acted in certain way that might have pleased my ego thus never ending scarcity of lasting relationship.All this sub-consciously rob us of our ability to make a defining equation with people around us.
everyday we undergo 64000 thoughts and out of these 95 percent are previous days thoughts. Again 80% of these thoughts are i.e 45000 are negative origin ...Imagine we can involve ourselves into fruitful relationships simply by not judging people of their negative habits, taking as it is because we do not know 100% that they are true & Energizing Good thoughts about them when ever thought encounters them...Imagine In more than 60 years of our lives How Many good relationship do we carry with ourselves . We can always improve on them by genuinely getting interested in people coming in our daily lives...Starting from today....Now....

TIME MACHINE!!!

2009-12-01T23:29:00.000-08:00

Most people in todays eras are Multi tasking. In what??? Career, Home,friends,philanthropy, ??? No...They think their Movement As Multi-tasking & Skip Friends, Family Meetings,Festivals,Exercise Saying They Are Saving Time...As World is moving too fast...But Are We Really Saving time...Spending time in your nuclear family & career; is saving time.Skipping talks with neighbor is Saving time.Not Able to enjoy minimum basic things as your breakfast,Lunch ,fun talk with your Life Partner is saving time...All postponing At the End of the career... Sad to say but this Multi-tasking is taking the sheen out of our life. . Not Able TO Reflect On our Lives Is That What We call saving time.. The More Sophisticated we become The Less time we will have for ourselves,for natural things & more we will get away with Realities...And who are having this time starvation.Not upper class & lower class;They have lot of time enjoying what they do,Its Only the Whole Bunch of middle class that has No Time..
WOW MYSTICAL TIME WE CAN NEVER CATCH HOLD OF YOU....

OBAMANIA !!!

2009-11-28T13:13:00.000-08:00

The Message of Change!!! The Connection itself exudes So much Energy & Enthusiasm & Hope;the Aura Surrounding Him has been much Bolder & Stronger than any fear/depression generated by Osama,Al Qaeda,Recession prevailing in recent times.The Confidence & Charisma of His Personality goes beyond any caste, color, creed, borders or quantity. Any present age guru would envy the tranquility surrounding him. In The 21st century No one has been able to create so much hope as President Obama did. Not only as an American but as an Inhabitant of the planet every person can relate to him with sense of pride.Yes We Can can be termed as the phrase of the decade if not century.After the depression & hopelessness some what left by Bush Administration not only in US but throughout the world demanded a charismatic leadership to whittle away the agony and suffering belying Americans for past decade. So Much So that Noble committee could not prevent itself from showing the vast change it has promised to bring around the world and awarded him Peace Prize.If every country,every state & town can generate so much confidence in their people then the day is not far that we can eradicate all kinds of poverty from the planet.People now Hope that their New Age Moses would bring peace to the waring world, food to the hungry Mind & soul, Jobs to unemployed and Greenery to threatening Global warming. Hope that Individual Obama can bring Home Peace & Harmony to Billions & not just remain a message of Hope/mirror& smoke/handouts & Spokes fading into peripheries. The solution today lies in every human to become like the messenger himself & begin as an individual to contribute every bit of what we can to give hope to our future generation in waiting. . .

Connect or Disconnect...Which path you will choose !!!

2009-11-28T09:09:00.000-08:00

When ever my somebody wants to connect to someone else somebody; its always confronted by questions like who you are, what do you do; whats your background; what have you achieved & accomplished so far & what do you plan in future; and based on this questionnaires then my ever interpreting computing mind would analyze data and post it into some conditioned perspective before accepting or rejecting that person as friend or perceived foe/competitor. Thus I am always subjected to this tuning in process throughout my life & thus end in making just few handful of friends/intimate relationship in our whole lifetime,not surprising before we die we think I could have done better on that. But is it thats individual fault or a default of whole system/universe.Is it that there may be something more explanation to it than our limited intelligence can perceive. As we Humans are made Social Animals because of our ability to experience these so called five senses, but Is it that beyond our selfish motive & survival of the fittest strategies what exist is known & experienced by only handful of enlightened Human Beings.We talk of Going into Mars,building super computers & simplifying lives in every quarters but fail to make any progress in most beautiful gifts we behold in ourselves.
So has this so called social networking sites helped anything in shortening this gap or it simply is a way to avoid confrontation face to face with fellow beings.Is it that the more we progress and develop in sophisticated business the less we are connecting to our deeper essence......Think...Understand.....Act or Welcome to the world of Robotics and Machines far away from Humanity . . .

The Sensitivity & Sensibility

2009-11-24T09:59:00.000-08:00

The Sensitivity of a human being has been a quest in itself.How much a person ought to be sensitive to lead a functional successful life;Is that a person's sensitivity determine how much he is gonna be useful to the society at large;it also determines other aspects of our human personality as how much a person would be compassionate towards fellow being, Say when you see someone in pain as a beggar or some friends of yours suffered big loss in business or life & our reaction to it,our mode& tone of response to this daily occurring in our Lives. Aren't we conditioned not to react since the time of birth or the why's into reaction if other's had been insensitive to mine;Then how in our world people like Buddha or Mother Teresa is created from time to time who are ultimate shapers of our present thriving world.The Debates into for & against would again delve into deeper recess, but the society would always bank on these mongers who goes beyond self to create an ever beautiful world.Even if this % remains as small as 1-2 they would keep supporting & sensitizing as far as Mankind can live & let live the Mother Earth . . . .

Perfect Plan

2009-11-21T12:28:00.000-08:00

When you plan,the Emotions attached to it almost kills it. The Perfect Plans requires Military Attack & Approach; That Is
1> Order can not be changed once formatted;perfect discipline
2> there should be a degree of ruthlessness,urgency to execute the plan;come what may
3> some flexibility & adaptations are always welcome on ground reality basis
but the basics should remain the same.
4> A proper map should be kept for referral under all circumstances...
5> there should be tunnel view towards the target all the time. Visualization
6> Accurate timing is a must;no compromise with deadlines until dead
7> review & inbuilt monitoring system should be in place
8> A proper team should always be consulted time to time with one Leader
9> rate limiting step should always be kept in mind & tackled appropriately
10> affirmation card to view your plan & Build faith until achieved twice a day

For A Change !!!

2009-10-27T05:14:00.006-07:00

What if I live this Day as totally unpredicted.Hugging sum starnger,sayin Hi to a friend not done in years,changing route to our work,smiling at everyone we see, loving the person who hurt or hate or simply say not living the parameters defined by normal predictions but choosing a diffrent way every moment we are aware of it.Doesn't it will change every moment the possibility that exist with us. Isn' it we are Locked in our own Predifined Map instead of Living & enjoying the uncertainty coming our way.if you think that it sounds logical then why not even for a single day live life in undefined way & see how it cahnges the outcome,reality & destiny instead of writhing/drifting away your whole life Like >95% People Live their Life.why not we start by working ourselves to Help some stranger out of our profession,out of our Goals & see what it brings ;for a change. Just for sometime Give a damn to what they will think or say if i cat like this,or what will happen & live the uncertainty.We Should Love our family ,career society but who has restricted us to live something different for sometime....
May be it will change our whole outlook.....

Unconditional Love !!!! how Difficult It Is!!!!

2009-10-22T17:09:00.000-07:00

The Sense & sensibility.... All senses juggling between each other for recognition who gets pissed off....Mind...Who tries always to satisfy itself & put above others..Ego...How difficult it is to get out of it...Next to impossible..Who wins in all this juggernaut..Ego thinks he does all the way but ultimately it realizes or Never realize that its all Mind-Ego game...Then why Its SO Difficult to get out of it..Its How We are trained since birth..So we react on time to time basis...Most of the human being run race for something outside himself.When the most beautiful things Love,Kindness,affection,compassion,joy reside inside us.then why our referral center is outward directed. The great saints have all said since thousand of years the same simple things but why it has been most difficult to understand & we always whirl in loop of enviousness,hatred,greed,anger,comparisons,cynicism.And we think we are on way towards Happiness....When Will we understand that Happiness is as simple to achieve as sadness.when we will stop this vicious cycle & fall In Unconditional Love towards all.When will we understand "the only way to Happiness is Love" The Kingdom of Love is all within us,all around us.

The Miracle Mile!!!

2009-10-03T01:41:00.000-07:00

Roger Bannister was born in Harrow, Middlesex, England. He began school in a suburb of London, where he early showed a talent for running. University education had been beyond the reach of Bannnister's working class parents, and he resolved at a young age to win a place in one of England's elite universities and study medicine. At the outbreak of World War II, the family moved to historic Bath, England, where Roger Bannister had daily opportunities to practice his running on the way to and from school. At first, his studiousness made him unpopular with his less motivated classmates, but his exceptional speed on the running track soon won him the acceptance he sought, and his scholastic efforts paid off with a scholarship to Oxford University.
At Oxford, Bannister's speed in the mile and 1500 meter events drew the attention of the British sports press. To the consternation of many British track enthusiasts, the young miler declined to compete in the 1948 Olympics in London, preferring to concentrate on his training and his medical studies.
By 1951 Bannister had captured the British title in the mile and felt ready for Olympic competition. Unfortunately, last minute change in the schedule of the events at the 1952 games in Helsinki forced Bannister to compete without resting between events as he was accustomed to. He finished fourth in the 1500 meter run and endured the scorn of the British sports media, who blamed Bannister's rejection of conventional coaching and training methods.

Bannister resolved to redeem himself by breaking the world's record for the mile, the seemingly insurmountable four-minute barrier. By this time he was undertaking full-time medical studies at St. Mary's Hospital Medical School, and setting aside only 45 minutes a day for training. But he had seen his time in the mile improve year after year, and was convinced that slow and steady training would enable him to break the record.
Bannister's opportunity came on May 6, 1954, in a meet at Oxford, with Bannister competing for the British Amateur Athletic Association. He had arranged for his friends Chris Chataway and Chris Brasher to set the pace for the first laps so he completed the first three quarter-mile laps in under three minutes. Finishing the last lap in less than a minute, Bannister broke the tape and collapsed as the announcer delivered his time to the cheering crowd: 3:59.4. The unbreakable record had been broken. At age 25, Roger Bannister had made history.

Within a month, the Australian runner John Landy had broken Bannister's record, but Bannister had the satisfaction of besting Landy at that summer's British Empire Games in Vancouver. In a race billed as "The Mile of the Century," both runners beat the four minute time, but Bannister came in first at 3:58.8 to landy's 3:59.6. Later that year, Roger Bannister was awarded the Silver Pears Trophy, bestowed annually for the outstanding British achievement in any field. He also secured the European title in the 1500 meter before retiring from competition. His autobiography, First Four Minutes, was published in 1955. It has since been reprinted as Four Minute Mile.
He completed his medical studies and for the next two decades combined a career in research with clinical practice as a neurologist. After recovering from a serious car accident he withdrew from private practice to devote himself to research. He maintained an interest in athletics, serving as Chairman of the Sports Council of Great Britain from 1971 to 1974, and as President of the International Council for Sport and Physical Recreation from 1976 to 1983. Dr. Bannister was knighted in 1975
Today, Sir Roger Bannister is Director of the National Hospital for Nervous Diseases in London and a trustee-delegate of St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in Paddington. Since 1990 he has also been Chairman of the Editorial Board of the journal Clinical Autonomic Research and is the editor of Autonomic Failure, a textbook on clinical disorders of the autonomic nervous system.

Golf & game of Life!!!!

2009-10-03T01:26:00.000-07:00

1. Humility and Respect

Golf requires that you show courtesy to others and that you communicate with respect. In the Junior Golf tournaments across the country, it is well stated that good sportsmanship must be exhibited at all times and that all play is ended with an exchange of a hand shake.

2. Punctuality

When the tournament schedule states "Tee time is at 9:00," this means that you are to be on the tee box at 8:55. If you are late to the tee box, you are automatically disqualified, no questions asked. While this can be a tough lesson to learn, it is one that works brilliantly and has instilled in my son the importance of being on time for not only every tournament but every event in life.

3. Confession

Golf is a game of honor, and recognizing that a transgression has occurred and taking responsibility for the transgression is a part of the game. This one act instills integrity and fairness to all concerned.

4. Safety

Golf balls and clubs are very hard and dangerous instruments, and one of the first and foremost rules of golf is safety. These rules of safety have filtered into other aspects of his life, including biking, swimming, and safety in the home.

5. Quiet

Golf requires an amazing amount of concentration, and quiet is required at all times on the golf course. While this takes practice for young kids, it is a life skill that teaches constraint and respect for others.

6. Visioning

The night before and the morning of a tournament, Player sits quietly and mentally and visually plays the course. This skill is teaching him how to "see the end in mind," which is key to goal achievement.

7. Problem Solving

Rain, wind, trees, multiple sand traps, and deep rough can make for a challenging day of tournament play. These are a normal part of golf and can be an amazing opportunity for clever problem solving and personal growth.

8. Focus

Golf is a tough sport. It requires that you not only know the physics of hitting the ball (and what club to use when) but requires intense mental and emotional concentration. Silencing the inner critic after a "bad shot" is crucial to regaining clear focus, which is an advanced skill to learn but one that can take you very far in life.

9. Practice, Persistence, and Listening

In golf, instant success is very rare. The Player has become a great golfer through daily practice, persistence, and through being open to listening to his mentors. In life, it is important to know that we rarely reach our goal in one "stroke." By practicing, making corrections along the way, being open to coaching, and being persistent, we can tackle most of life's tough challenges.

10. Graciousness

One of the most important life lessons a player learns from golf is to be gracious and respectful to adults. At the end of each tournament, he and his competitors thank and shake the hands of the tournament chairmen and follow this up with a handwritten note of thanks
This is true for almost every sport...Wait for my nxt corollary with cricket

Sometimes it's just getting up early enough,In the morning whispers
to watch the first shades of Shining satrangi(seven colors) brush across the sky.
Something deeply stirring about that,Silently Crawling in deeper spaces of our heart

Sometimes it's unexpected gestures of affection that were not sought...
or given so instinctually that you were not aware of them.
Without meditating upon,without capturing in boundaries of Faith
Sometimes by just allowing yourself not to be addicted to the result of your action
Without daily struggle against own exaggarated sense of self

Sometimes, it's writing a poem ~
only if the words are coming from somewhere else...
As if something is flowing through you,without your permission
a river of emotions
you can physically feel
that flows through your being.

But it is always so unexpected.
So much that I am constantly aware now.
My senses hightened.
Waiting for that unexpected moment without letting go

When something deeper will reach out and engulf me and give my life, and all my actions, however small, a deeper and all encompassing context
...on a daily basis.

So say a prayer for me. And for yourself.

The Angry Young Man!!! Do You Have It In You!!!

Yuvraj Singh;The Maverick Desi Who hooked by Stuart Broad disgusting gesture lift His Fawara (Bat) to send all 6 balls to Nuts and the Rest is History,Fired Indians To Lift first T-20 world cup.How can we forget the Mumbaikars fished the streets with jai Ho Song & chak de india,rare sight where whole india comes up front for a common emotions and at the same time fueled Lalit Modi's Rowdy thoughts to create IPL-T-20 matches. All such prizes for One Angry young man or at least the one who distributed self-belief in 11 Chokras who had hardly learned to wear kaccha(undies) in international cricket. . .
And this angry man is still rocking thanks to his undying spirit!!!!
If people generate such subtle anger in their complacent Daily Lives and convert them to a cause then we Indians would never get 26/11 like attacks again in future.Otherwise It will recur like variable monsoon nicely termed in sarcastic tone by a fellow Indian:
The heroes and martyrs will be consigned to memories.
The cricketers and film stars
Will be reinstated as the eternal Icons.
The netas will crawl out of the woodwork
And resume feeding on
'We the People'.
India will be ready
For yet another round of castration.
And 26/11 will end up becoming
Just another date With terror.

So Let that yuvraj singh fading in us that we love so much act for a cause!!!
Or Pataintly wait for another X/11 to unfold!!!

Sometimes I Wonder !!

To Grow Out Of My Skin and fly like a bird,swim like a fish,roar like a tiger
give selflessly like trees,grow like benjamin button
To Go back to stone Age and ride Mercedes or In Mid Of 15th century battle with water cannons or laughing gas
Go On A Stroll to Moon!!!!Or Pluto Or To that alien world never seen or imagined
Have Dinner With Keira Knightly and the afterworks
Become Magician with All Powers And Give all slum dwellers(DOG) parents to care,
Blind eyes to see deaf and dumb ears to hear
Enter Into The Skin Of Sachin Tendulkar,Brack Obama,
Aamir Khan,Warren Buffet and experience What They Feel...
To call my Parents on stage while receiving Nobel Prize for Peace
But Above All Sometimes I want to be me who can correct all those past mistakes
,if not then acquire the courage to see eye to eye with them and ask for forgiveness,
To Be able to forgive and forget all misgivings I received and would in future,
To be able to Hug poor and downtrodden when least expected,to be able to appreciate my immediate surroundings and rejoice in every moment realizing that it will never come again....
Give all Happiness Possible to My Parents and beloved ones..
To Be more bold towards Girls I Adore and propose all of them without fear of being rejected...To Shower All my Love to everyone I meet...without prejudice and greed.
To be able Accept All my Imperfections with Gratitude and acquire peace of mind which is direct result of satisfaction in knowing that I performed to the best of my ability which I was cabale of!!!
To Be able to accompalish all my dreams and Live My real Purpose on the planet...
Amen!!! Inshallah!!!
