Last two years were spent in my motherland with my loved ones in the mix of warm and cold weathers of plains and Dhauladhar mountains...<br /><br />Coming back to this year, warm weather is no where in sight but the warmth of the loved ones is very much there with a special someone who is much much closer than the others.... So it all started with the desire to be with that special someone ....<br /><br />Weather was checked and a road trip to Indiana was set ... It all went fine with little hiccups while going .. though the real adventure turned out to be on my trip back to stl. <br /><br />It was my first time driving in snow, i had heard people talk about driving in snow, breaking, accelerating skidding and all that comes along with it...<br /><br />A drive from west Lafayette to Saint Louis, which takes about five hours take into account the time difference of one hour and the one where i would drive at the speed of 70 on average turned out to be little different in snow. My GPS went out of satellite coverage, car started skidding the speed reduced to 40-45-50... Hands were shaking.. the car chevy aveo was being drifted by winds as much as it possibly could and i saw few cars and small trailors which were upside down... freaked me out more ...at such a time, i felt amma was with me calming me down and letting me focus on driving ...or may be actually taking over the driving..<br /><br />At such a time, the only thing i could focus on was amma and her bhajans on one CD, which might have played atleast 10 times today was my only source of strength and my only prayer at that moment was to reach home safely...<br /><br />Once that stretch of bad weather was passed, i was all fine... back on the speed of 70 driving on 70W.. so slowly n steadily with amma's grace i made it and here i am sharing this experience with all of you out there..<br /><br />Today's incidence reminds me yet again that we are nothing but the puppets at the hand of god and we don't know whats enstored for us at the very next moment and we still hold grudges, hatred and other negative things while we should be surrendering at the feet of almighty and develop love for all...<br /><br />Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu ...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3937435047477730776-1618218606339722077?l=hereitstarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/oqqcBz5e37Alh_47ApsX5qThJxk/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/oqqcBz5e37Alh_47ApsX5qThJxk/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/oqqcBz5e37Alh_47ApsX5qThJxk/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/oqqcBz5e37Alh_47ApsX5qThJxk/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HereItStarts/~4/ioFYSqRga1g" height="1" width="1"/>wandering soulnoreply@blogger.com0http://hereitstarts.blogspot.com/2009/12/my-first-long-drive-in-snow.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937435047477730776.post-65024151346260325582009-12-20T12:04:00.003-06:002009-12-20T12:11:47.355-06:002009-12-20T12:11:47.355-06:0019th Dec'09 attended the fall graduation...<br /><br />One of my very good friend graduated, i was there for her... though i also witnessed the graduation of many other people whom i don't know at all .. some of them i have seen in my classes, been their TA , some with whom i have exchanged smiles or a hi in school ..<br /><br />Though one man who caught my attention and i would say everyone's attention was a 86 year old Master's in History.

At that time this prof of mine thought of rewarding him with some money or do something for him and the man replied. No thanks may be you can remember this help some one else who might need it.<br /><br />Since then this Prof always remember this man and helps people whenever he can ...<br /><br /> Here is the article by Jyoti Desai<br /><br /><table class="cnt" style="margin-top: 3px; margin-right: 0px; width: 8px; height: 1px; text-align: left; margin-left: 0px;"><tbody><tr><td id="bellyad" style="padding-left: 3px;"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: justify;">On the verge of crying, I could barely express my gratitude. Saying a simple ‘thank you’ did not seem adequate for the effort taken by a friendin trying to get me a job in a vulnerable phase in my life. And so, thereafter, I must have tried to express my thanks many times over till she simply smiled and said: “It is your time to take.”<br /><br /> Taken aback by the reply I perhaps further complimented her on her goodness, not understanding the full import of the words ‘your time to take’. Life got busy and we lost touch. But somewhere inside me the words ‘a time to take’ sat patiently waiting their turn to play a part in my life. The going was good. I was now in a position to help others. My natural response to all the words of gratitude that were showered on me remained, ‘it is all right, it is just your time to take’. <br /><br /> There is a time to take and there is a time to give. Golden words often quoted, and yet we only want to give, we would rather not take. The puzzled looks I have received when I have gently said ‘it is a time to take’ set me thinking. What is so loaded in the words ‘a time to take’? <br /><br /> Perhaps it is to do with our upbringing. Instilled in us is this value about not taking – it is a favour, about managing alone even in the most difficult of times without seeking support. And yet, taking is one of the most natural acts carried out by each of us since the time we are conceived. <br /><br /> We take life’s sustenance from our mothers, we take love from our siblings, we take knowledge from our teachers, we take companionship from our friends, we take affection from our pets, we take food from the earth, we take warmth from the sun and that is an endless list. And yet we feel no obligation to all these givers, because we are conditioned to view them as normal life situations. <br /><br /> Our minds are full of suspicion, and more so when we are at the receiving end. The mind works at a furious pace on the implications of taking. One of the fears is of having to return the favour immediately or at some point of time in the future, and the guilt of ingratitude if we are not able to do so. But does it always have to work in that manner? Perplexing, as it may seem, there is a far more complicated system at play which is difficult to decode. Seers therefore stress on abiding by the fundamental principle of giving with humility and taking with gratitude – a simple way to resolving confusing moments in this endless cycle of take and give. <br /><br /> Every one of us, in our lifetime, experiences moments when we give on impulse. We are stirred to give to causes, beggars, friends, strangers. Do these people give us something in return? Do we expect them to? No, but in doing so we experience a strange calm. And when we as takers are full of sadness and shame, are we forgetting to recognise the moment of calm being experienced by the giver? <br /><br /> In this endless game of take and give we should just play along, taking and giving as life asks us to, enjoying the gifts we take and give, without grudging our ‘misfortune’ for being takers, not feeling lesser for having taken or superior for having given. <br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3937435047477730776-1961301039135101131?l=hereitstarts.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/YqzjxXLC-vtzCQvbMGynAhTiU3o/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/YqzjxXLC-vtzCQvbMGynAhTiU3o/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/YqzjxXLC-vtzCQvbMGynAhTiU3o/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/YqzjxXLC-vtzCQvbMGynAhTiU3o/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/HereItStarts/~4/E0PhoXcY9-8" height="1" width="1"/>wandering soulnoreply@blogger.com1http://hereitstarts.blogspot.com/2009/10/give-with-humility-and-take-with.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937435047477730776.post-15068687831472753322009-10-27T18:01:00.001-05:002009-10-27T18:01:42.642-05:002009-10-27T18:01:42.642-05:00<span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"> We may do a hundred things right, but for one wrong act people disown us.
