A few moments being disconnected from the World

In the morning from my father's in law home I set out with my brother in law to the nearby internet cafe with a view to updating my blog. Leaving me at the cafe my brother in law went away ridding his bike to attend his appointments. As he had left his mobile at home,he carried my mobile with him. Simply giving an assurance that I will be picked from the cafe after one hour. But........At the net cafe
the electricity failed just when I switched on the computer. I wanted to contact my brother in law from the P.C.O but I had no coins. My wallet contained only a Thousand Rupee Note.And It was quite unbecoming to ask for change in the morning hours of the day. I waited and waited having nothing to do except emptily looking at the strangers, vehicles,and the passerby on the road.

Those minutes greatly annoyed me but I had to bear the pangs of a disconnected life.

At last I threw my self respect to the nearby pool and shamelessly asked a gentle man for his mobile to make a call to my brother in law so that he can pick me up. And the disconnection was turned to reconnection by the unreserved help of a man who I didn't know.

The interesting part of the experience comes when I dithered about to ask for the mobile from a stranger and at last hiding my shame with a sycophantic smile made the request for help although that place abounded with a dozen of P.C.Os.

Channelizing The Creative Force for a Better Life.

All motivations are temporary in nature. They last and remain active for a while and then fade away. Therefore, a constantly conscious motivation for a meaningul life is a sine qua non for a better living. A friend's smile, a delicate rose, a beautiful quote, someone's kindness or simply the inner fire of one's essential nobility can broaden the perspective of life on a divine scale. Never miss the simple and the marvelous joy of being simply simple with the simple things of life. Appreciate it that you have the heaven in and around you.........

Teasing of a Dear Friend

Sometimes the monotony of life breaks in a superb manner by the teasing of your bosom friends.Today  during the hours of a busy typing of the question Papers of my college, where I teach, my attention was called by the beeps of my mobile. When reluctantly I opened the inbox of the electronic gadget, I discovered the teasing message of my dear colleague B.Sairam Patra which equated me to a Snake or at the best to ants. The message ran like this: "WHEN A SNAKE IS ALIVE. IT EATS ANTS.WHEN DEAD,ANTS EAT SNAKE. TIME MATTERS........TIME ALWAYS GIVES A CHANCE TO EVERYONE." JUST WAIT FOR YOUR TURN......, I went through the lines and was forced to conclude myself with a smile that in the monotonous hectic schedules of life I have forgotten to ring him up for the last 3 days. Let this love always break the hard covers of utilitarianism to walk on the earth with human sense and sensibilities.

A harmonious alliance for life's motivation.

Many people do not get the opportunity to express their creativity constructively. As a result they remain deprived of the joys in engaging a life of creativity. There is neither productivity nor appreciation in such a static life.. . . . . .BUT the cold and dead ice of inertia melts when there is fellowship of human beings to appreciate and inspire each other to achieve the noblest and highest ideals of life. Life necessitates to be lived in positively appreciating even the tiniest things or the trivialest incidents so that one of the prime motives of human beings to get appreciated can be best exploited to bringing fullness to life and existence.

Rolling on a Rickshaw

In the 11pm of night Out of compassion towards the rickshaw puller I with my wife opted to go in a rickshaw instead of going in an auto from the station. It started to rain in the mid way and we got sprinkling of water which the auto would have deprived of us. Rickshaw was more romantic as it lengthened the journey and the romance as well.
