change

change involves two aspects , one is that of giving up and other is that of taking up. so if some one spends his   idle time smoking, he needs to give up smoking and also what he will now do in the time that got freed up. interestingly, everything changes eventually , its only whether you be a participant in the change or you are simply an observer or you are opposing the change.

bringing about a change in the way we think, we act is a big ability especially when you are trying to influence others' thoughts and actions

so quiet

its so quiet all around, there is only the hum of the airconditioner, seems like time is at a standstill. it is a great feeling to be able to STOP , we all need this from time to time. stop running, stop to smell the air, look at nature , admire this CREATION. you will not pass this way again, live it to the fullest

two sides of a coin, three sides of a triangle, and so on

Look at any decision you need to take - heads or tail when tossing a coin, right or left when reaching a crossroads, Mary or Mira when choosing your life partner, engineering or medical for a career, the choices explode in life and you need to decide every day. how do you decide - is it an objective decision or a subjective one, is it the head or the heart, is it based on following others or leading the way, and so on. in fact, the choices are not only limited to this or that, more often than not , it is like choosing from many many choices , all of whom come with their pluses and minuses. also, these pluses and minuses are not universal, what is plus for you may be minus for another person and vice versa. isn't life interesting and God the perfect magician !!
