A small event from my life


It was on a Friday around 10 pm , my husband and myself were returning home after a very tiring day….
We stopped at a small store to buy our stuff. There was a pregnant dog lying in front of the shop.. Along with my stuffs I thought of buying a few biscuits for the dog.
Myself:  Anna, please give me rava and biscuit packet.
Customer 1: (came after me, asked for 3 items) he was given what he required.
(I was waiting)
Again
Myself: Anna, please give me rava and biscuit packet.
The Store guy went inside.
Store guy: what you want ?
Myself: Bro, please give me rava and biscuit packet.
Store guy : take rava and what is the other product.
Myself: a biscuit packet.
The Store guy went inside
Store guy:  what is the other product ?
Myself: (smiled) A biscuit packet.
Myself: are you feeling okay ,Anna??
Store guy: having severe headache.
Myself: why can’t you take a small break and have some tea ?
Store guy: it’s a family issue, tea cannot help me … (he said in a sad voice)
Myself : Bro, problems are not permanent in life things will change. Don’t put so much pressure on your body. Once you lose your health it might take a very long time to recover, sometimes it may not… especially if you get migraines .
(A young college girl was listening to our conversation)
College girl: are you a doctor akka ?
Myself : (smiled) was a patient !! And remember, the patient is better at explaining the disease than the doctor. Why such a question ?
College girl: I have severe migraine, especially when I spend time on screen it becomes worst ?
Myself: avoid pain killers as much as possible ?
College girl:  I never take pain killers , I patiently bear the pain.
Myself : That’s a great job, by the way, what are you doing ?
College girl: Engg. Final year.
Myself: placed ?
College girl: yes
Myself: where ?
College girl: TCS
Myself : you must be spending more time on the screen after joining the job !!! so do meditation, keep yourself calm, nothing has more value than your health. Wear polarized glasses so that it reduces the effect of screen. You will be having lots of time after finishing the college and before joining the work so try goggling VIPASSANA meditation it might help you as it helped me.
College girl: Thanks akka !!
She gave a beautiful smile and looked brighter than the moon in the sky.
Gave the biscuits to the pregnant dog, the dog was wagging its tail and looked at me…was able to see the happy soul in its eyes.
Just thought, how every life is battling its own difficulties and being kind fills my heart with happiness.

Why money is everything in apparent reality and nothing in ultimate reality ?

Before getting in to our topic lets define apparent and ultimate reality Apparent reality is ordinary conventional truth and ultimate reality abstract truth. Eg. The smooth surface of the table we set is the apparent reality and in other sense the apparent surface consists of forces and vibrations that cause friction. That is the ultimate truth. So let’s see, how this concept is related with our life? Let’s understand this concept with an eg. We simply define success in the following terms, è      Wealth è      Fame è      Looks Right ?(money can buy all the above) Millions of people follow an actor, a sports player, a musician etc.. Of course we are greatly influenced by the media. And feel completely normal for exhibiting these characteristics. And few of us put in a lot of efforts to have style like them, buy the products recommended by these people, and follow them crazily which makes these celebr...

How to swim through the ocean of “DIFFICULT TIMES”?

Image
Any life is incomplete without ups and downs. Our life flows through time, i.e. from birth till death. We feel good times flies fast and bad time moves very slow, sometimes we feel we are stuck in the time. Only during our failures, we apply the break and observe our condition. Sometimes we eagerly wait for the bad time to end. The more desperate we are, the time moves further slow, creating more pain physically and mentally. So, How to handle bad times without creating any bad scar in our life? We tend to make more mistakes and harm our self when we are mentally low. Step 1 : Accept that you are in pain/ trouble / failure , one can never solve a problem without accepting its existence. Step 2: If possible, find the cause for your situation.   Step 3: Write down the ways you can solve it. (When you write down your problem and its solutions, you will understand that the problem is limited and smaller because when we mentally see the problems we feel its huge and m...

PROCRASTINATION IS A DEVIL :(

Image
For time being let’s forget the things we procrastinate, that we don’t like. Let’s concentrate on stuffs we procrastinate, that we like. We postpone so many things in spite having liking towards them. Let me explain with few eg. When you feel like eating something which you like … your mind voice (what if I gain some weight? What if, this food doesn't go well with my health? ) When you feel like wearing a different dress…. Your mind voice (what if I look odd? should I reduce some more weight ? should I wait for some special occasion ? ) When you feel like posting something directly from your heart .... (what will others think about me? Is my grammar right?   Do people support me ? will I attract unnecessary arguments ?   ) When you wanted to follow your passion .. your mind   voice ( what if I run out of money ?? or face losses ? if I’m not successful ? will my performance in current job reduce ? ) When you want to express your weakness and pain...
