A simple thank at an unexpected hour.

The night was spent in the train compartment. The major enjoyment in the train was to take the food which is paddled inside the compartment. My last journey from Koraput to BBSR in the same train  was painful because nothing was available on board to take during the journey. But this time the situations had improved and few peddlers were selling their products to the physically less but psychologically more hungry travellers. In the morning of 26th I woke up when the train had already passed Berhampur station. At khorda road the compartment got packed with the daily passengers and the passengers with reservations had to shrink to make room  for the daily passengers. I was on my seat and a lady of age around 21 stood by my side. I didn't offered her to sit by my side for a few minutes then I felt the general courtesy in my mind and indicated her to sit by my side with a gentle wave of hand.It is true that such courtesy  is common,on the part of male passengers and in the same frequency it is equally common on the part of the modern girls to walk away without telling even a courteous thank to the passenger with the reservation .

When the destination came and I was about to leave the compartment I heard a beautiful voice coming from my back and thanking me in the sweetest manner for my recently shown courtesy. I was amazed and out of curosity asked my fellow traveller " Are you a student ?". She replied very politely, " No sir, I am a service holder in the Reliance company." I wished her all success in her service carrier while getting down  and at the same time I told myself, " Ma'am, it is because of girls like you only that the RELIANCE on women is still existing although very feebly.

Sleep time.

Generally the long day winds up at the sleep time. The loss and gain of the day is calculated. Some lessons are learnt and some milestones in life are crossed. Today in a half sleepy state I feel like . . . .

Deep relations need more care.

Many a time we fail to fathom the depth of intimate relations. We never understand their true value unless they are broken or lost. Most of the time we take such relations for granted and surpass the delicacy of the relation. And such neglect develops ego problems which may later turn into violent consequences if not checked at the right time. Every sweet and long relationship has deep roots so they must be cared delicately.

Hope

Man lives by hope. Hope is the best antidote to the ill effects of frustrations and failures. A generous person with his hopeful words and consolations can really relieve a heart from desperation. Hope rejuvenates sagging human efforts and infuses new strength. So in the darkest hours also it is wise to hope for a glorious new morning. If your hope is fulfilled then it is a victory and even if it is not fulfilled you are no loser. However, it is really a sin to give someone a false hope without any grain of sincerity. Giving hopes to others is a good quality but becoming committed to fulfill them in due time is a divine virtue. Hope can work miracles. In a micro level it may enriche a single individual but in the macro level it can start a revolution. Let us hope for a world of peace and harmony and put efforts unitedly for its realization and start to feel the all-absorbing and all-changing effects of a powerful collective hope.

Let all Blessings Descend Upon You.

After the engagement of my sister on 23rd May, when my would be brother in law and my sister bowed down to seek my blessings, I felt the most powerful & the strongest feelings of blessings spontaneously filling my heart and overpowering me. I blessed them with all my heart and at the same time earnestly prayed the Almighty for their well-being in the forthcoming phase of life.

The moment was divine and the fine feelings of that moment have no material equivalent nor any exchangeable value.Those feelings were exclusively  of the mind and that of the spirit. And on that very occasion I realized why our culture advocates for every   marriage to take place with the wholehearted consents of the elders.It is because a marriage which takes place with the happy consent and blessings of the elders pulls spiritual energy like a strong magnet from the environment and the people around them.
