Story behind Glory

The loftier the building, the deeper must the foundation be laid.
- Thomas Kempis

(Hawa Mahal @ Jaipur)

This beautiful architecture was a confinement for ladies to prevent them from being seen by men while witnessing the proceedings outside. Such was the restriction they endured despite being royal personality. This proves once again that behind every glory, there always exists a poignant journey.

Look from different Perspective

If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person's point of view and see things from his angle as well as your own.

They say, it’s all about Perspective. Joy or lacklustre is not with the subject but it lies in the way we see it. Trouble or opportunity is not decided by the volume of the issue but in the angle of our view. Instead of changing our outlook, if we try to change the way we look, we can benefit a lot.

Which is a Noble Profession?

Remember that you are needed. There is at least one important work to be done that will not be done unless you do it.

It’s not that only farmers or doctors or Society helpers are lending a hand in serving the country. Every job has its own challenges and social responsibilities with a varied degree. If only we start viewing our own profession as a mode of serving our country, we can definitely do wonderful deeds with the present occupation itself.

The First Teacher

A teacher's purpose is not to create students in his own image, but to develop students who can create their own image.

For every Child, Mother is always the First Teacher. She is the teacher of compassion, love and fearlessness to the Child. She is the window through which the Child sees and learns the World. It doesn’t matter whether she is a University top ranker or a daily wager, but for every Child, Mother’s heart is the first classroom.

Enjoy first, Review next

Slow down and enjoy life. It is not only the scenery you miss by going fast but you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.

When we see an illustration, very often our tendency is to start analysing it immediately instead of observing and relishing it first. Do not worry about whether or not the sun will rise. Be prepared to enjoy it. We should try to change our eyes to start liking the World around us as it is to begin with, before trying to find out reasons for that.

Encourage the Younger generation

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says ... “I'll try again tomorrow”.

Children don’t have fear, hence they don’t hesitate trying new things however challenging they are. If only we don’t restrict them now and curb their instincts, we can develop a great next generation fearless to be innovative and ability to reach new destinations.

Times stops when we're with Friends

Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.

Friendship is a marvellous relationship. Any time spent with Friends is happy times. Right from very early age, we needed friends. Lucky if you get a Friend who happens to be thinking in your frequency. Any place is affable and glorious whew we’re with those kinds of friends.

Art for Healthy Start

In a competition it is not about who is faster or who is stronger it is about who can get up when they others can't.

Many of the practices set by our ancestors are mostly aimed at healthy living styles. Laying Rangoli (kolam) is an art to start the day Healthy but it is slowly losing its sheen these days. During my childhood days I remember seeing Ladies putting up many huge Rangoli arts in front of every house at very early morning hours. I hardly see any such activities now. May be our inquisitiveness have shifted to somewhere else!!

FLY above the rest

Excellence has always been achieved by those who dared to believe that something inside them is superior than the circumstances around them.

Not everyone gets opportunity in life to rise above the level they belong. And most importantly not all who gets that opportunity has that fortitude to take it. All that the rest can do is envy those who dare and flies above the rest.
