Apani Favourite

Relationships are beautiful part of human life. They provide comfort, sense of belongingness, affection ,confidence and the most important 'love'.

I am not talking about just interpersonal relationships. I am also talking about intrapersonal relationship, yes the one with the self. If you are happy being with the self, you need nothing more.

When you start getting all those things from yourself only which generally we receive from others, you become emotionally independent.

I have seen some people who have good intrapersonal relationships and also have seen some who have both , good intra as well as good interpersonal relationships. People who have good connection with the self, are more confident,self driven, emotionally and cognitively independent, transparent and honest still modest, humble... They carry some charm with them. People get easily influenced by such people.

What can we do to be more in connection with the self? Spend time with the self, be self confident, be firm, appreciate good things about you, take charge of your life, believe that you are the best friend of yours, don't blame the self without need, take a walk alone, sing , dance, read and write. Just love your company. Once you start developing healthy relationship with yourself you will see that your relationships with others also have started developing. And after some days you will also say like Geet from Jab we met,"Main apani favourite hoon."

Yeh dil bole,"no extra!"

I have seen one advertisement where a water tap is fixed in village and it gets opened one morning. That's a dessert area where one man was walking and he sees water flowing on the white marbles of isolated bathroom. He comes and quenches his thirst. Another woman see him drinking water and she also comes to drink water. And like this entire village arrives there, quenches its thirst, fills the vessels and still the water is not stopping. And then voice over comes conveying a message that - the entire village quenches its thirst in the same amount of water used by urban person to take a bath... And it was one more 'aha' moment for me. I had read in one philosophical book, we should never overdo. I have heard my parents and grandparents saying that we should never overdo. Now what do I mean by 'overdoing'? In the above mentioned example, it's clear what is 'overdoing'. Consuming more than what is required is overdoing. Demanding more than what you actua...

Purpose...

Sometimes people wonder, what is the purpose of their life, why have they come on this earth, what their life is made for... I won't be surprised at all, if you say that you are also one of them. No worries. This question walks through everyone's mind at least once in their life. Some people happen to ask this question early in their life, some ask later in their life. It doesn't make any difference until and unless you get the correct, to be precise, the satisfactory answer.  You have whole right to be confused for some time or even longer time. But you have no right to be there forever. Remember, the purpose of your life and your chosen career may not go hand in hand, seemingly. But believe me, everything is connected at the end. Currently in your life (education, career, personal or social relationships etc.), perhaps you are  doing something by looking at which others might be feeling - what is s/he doing? But trust me, if you are clear with your goal, if you are capa...

"India is my country"

"India is my country. All Indians are my brothers and sisters " Remember we saying this everyday in our schooldays? Of course you remember. People belonging to various religions, castes, sub casts, socioeconomic strata live in India. Consequently our languages are also different. It's a country where all live with love and peace though sometimes we experience conflict resulting from this diversity. My nationalism says that we should respect every religion, every caste in India. Not only I but I think most of us, we believe in this. But do we all follow this? Recently I came across one person who was requested to greet by saying 'Namaste' or 'Namaskar' while taking one video for some official work. But he was not ready to say 'Namste' or 'Namaskar'. While being asked about this, he said "Sir didn't you look at the 'Religion' in my form? But the same person was ready to say 'Hello'. I found it strange. He was ready...
