Maamu ! Shaktimaan mil gaya!!

ts the title song of "Shaktimaan". Try to ponder upon the thought behind this song. You will realize the beauty.

Yeh aatam shakti hai,

dunia badal sakti hai,

sholon ko dhal sakti hai,

Hota hai jab aadmi ko apna gyan,

kehlaya woh,

Shaktimaan ..

Shaktimaan ...Shaktimaaaaaaaaan ..Shaktimaan !!

Being a big fan of my superhero 'shaktimaan', I use to dream if I could also get the capability of just swirling around and reaching whereever I wish to.

But now I realize that each one of us has the capability of becoming Shaktimaan. Only thing we need to get is 'aatam shakti'. The word 'aatam shakti' is the actually hidden potential inside all of us. Once you awaken your hidden potential, then no one can stop you from doing anything, sky will only be the limt for you and beauty is that sky has no limit. 

So finally I realized that Shaktimaan is the person:

" Who can do anything of his wish, Who beleives in god, Who beleives in his capabilities, Who help those in need of him, Who loves everyone and is concerned about the mankind".

That hidden potential is already there in everyone, But the moment you realize it, You will see a real shaktimaan inside you, the shaktimaan who had the potential and energy to fulfil all the dreams and wishes of your own self. Ans still some extra energy left over which can be used for the well being of rest of mankind.

Lets all pray to that almighty to wake up our 'shaktimaan'.

Loneliness ! Noooooooo.. Not for me !!

"Loneliness is the poverty of self; solitude is the richness of self"

Feeling lonely is very common to all of us. There are times when we feel extremely alone and restless and yearn for our dear ones to come around. We try to get them to our rescue but it doesn't work, then finally we feel helpless and depressed being lonely. These moments make you remember those people who enrich your life with their presence. So these moments have got their own significance in your life. But when all your efforts fail to get someone and when you realize that you are restless and depressed, then you need to take appropriate steps to get rid of this state of mind.
Firstly remember that it is not possible to have your loved ones with you all the time. And secondly that you have to live each and every moment of your life to the fullest and in the state of happiness. No matter how worst happens in life, still:

• Happiness is important.
• Happiness is desirable.
  
• Happiness is possible.
  

Now that you are not able to get someone's company to get rid of loneliness, then why not get and enjoy the company of your ownself.

We can consider the loneliness as the state when we are totally free to do anything that we wish to do and that too without any interruption by anyone and moreover without any opinion from anyone. And if we just try to recall that there are so many things that we generally want to do but keep postponing because of not being alone. So we can convert these moments of loneliness while getting engaged in those activities which fulfill our long pending wishes .

And you will realize that doing this, you can convert the so called miserable moments of loneliness into the memorable moments of joy and happiness.

I have listed down few of the activities that we all can do in loneliness. However you can also suggest some creative way of time pass.

1. Reading this blog is ofcourse the best time pass for you.
2. Call and have a talk with your mom, dad, brother, sister, cousins. Try not to call up your girlfriend/boyfriend because generally thats the origin for your loneliness.
3. Shuffle through phone book and call up some of your very old friend and have a chat.
4. Listening to your favorite music.
5. Singing. Just sing whatever are your favorite tracks are.
   
6. Dance practice.
   
7. Poetry, painting, sketching etc...
8. Watch your favorite channel on TV.
9. gtalk or yahoo messenger. Chat with old school/college friends.
10. Orkut, Facebook and other social networking.
11. Go out for a walk in the colony or market. ... etc. ... etc.

So I hope by now you know what you have to say if next time you come across loneliness:-

"Loneliness ! Noooooooo.. Not for me !!

Happiness @Rs 10

I learnt another wonderful tactics of being happy. Just wanted to share it with you. It costs only Rs 10 per day.

"Your happiness is directly proportional to the number of people whom you can make happy". If you make five people happy, then your own happiness will be the total sum of happiness of all five.

That afternoon of Good Friday, I went to my friend's place to help him in shifting to new house. It must be around 2 PM then. I was standing near the parking place. Suddenly a rickshaw wala came nearby, pulling a bulky aunty and her healthy son. I could see his face and feel how difficult it had been for him pulling these two together and that too in such scorching heat at daytime in delhi summers.
Reaching the destination, he was waiting for his reward money for the effort that he has put up in pulling them. The lady opened up her purse and gave him Rs 20/-. He pleaded that " mem sahib, it is 15Rs per person pulling from that place. So no less that 30 will go".
In reply to this, The lady Said, " Oye ! 20 is fine. Take it or you will not get even this much. Got down and started walking with prestige as if she had won the World Cup of bargaining".
He must be thinking, " Why do these rich pleople always remain so poor".

As I could not hold myself so I called him up " Bhaiya Ji, Idhar aayenge zara". I gave him Rs 10 from my purse. And asked him that " Now that you have got your Rs 30. Hope you are happy. He was surprised at this very act. He was wondering why I am bothered for his happiness.
I was smiling from inside that he dont know but I was rather bothered about my own happiness than his. Thats why I did that. How could I feel happy till someone else is feeling sad in front of me. And if I am then I don't consider myself a human.

And I came back home happily n more happily with the satisfaction of 'Performing today's good deed". It just costed me Rs 10, And in return I got a satisfaction, a happiness, and something priceless- A blessing.

At that moment I decided to do something like this every day, Finally it would cost me Rs 300/Month ( Just 0.6% of my monthly salary). In return will bring me so many priceless things.

"Not a bad deal at all man. Go for it", I said to myself.

I think such an act requires one to feel the abundance of resources(money in this case) which one got because of God's grace.
That landlady must be having crores of rupees in her account but still could not feel the abundance. She still could cheat someone merely for ten rupees. She never realize that this Rs 10 won't make much difference to her Crores. But counts a lot for someone whose family's that day meal could be affected because of this Rs 10.
I wonder why do people accumulate so much wealth if they don't want to feel how much they have. They keep on accumulating and accumulating and finally leave this world empty handed without even realizing and enjoying the abundance of it.

Thats why I always beg from my God that if you give me so much of resources, then also give me the courage to feel the abundance of those.
I must tell you that one only need a breath and food to keep alive, rest all should be considered as abundance and should be reason for your 'Happiness
