Travel travel and just travel

I might not have travelled much in my life but I know what it feels like. When I go to my native place, I found myself lost in many small small things.

Flowing river catches my attention. It shows me how to flow. Not matter what comes in the way. That transparent, pure water teaches me how to find a way even when there are some black, hard stones and rocks. It says - 'Will will find a way'. Such a beautiful and insightful lesson it teaches to us!

Those beautiful ,green trees teach me how to reach high but still staying grounded. Trees don't forget their roots even when they grow tall. They themselves stand in intense sunlight but offer cool shadow to the travellers. Aren't these trees telling us something? Of course they are. We should hear and listen to them.

Those big, greeny mountains and hills... Are they whispering something? certainly. They inspire us to reach high, to reach the sky and still remaining stable, unshakable. They are big and strong and appear rocky from long distance but they have greenery on them. This denotes that in spite of being strong and rocky they have the capacity to create something new. They possess the power of creation.

What an amazing nature!
Every natural element is telling you something. We should know how to hear and listen it.

During the travel you not only encounter these natural elements but you also come across various types of people. These people belong to different gender, religion, cast, socioeconomic status, educational and cultural background. They add on your experience. They definitely give you something. Talk to them, you will learn. Observe them, you will learn. They will enrich you. They will give you different perspective, different angles to look upon the things. Filter the things and take positive.

Travel travel and just travel.

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...
