Karmic Bliss

Abeer Aulakh — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 09:04:33 +0000

What is karma? Some people define it as an unseen force that governs our life and the endless chain of events that follow, others say that all events that occur in life are a result of our deeds that we have to pay for everything we do. There are others who don’t believe in its existence. Whatever we may say but karma is something that has a constant presence in our lives. A person who believes in karma thinks that this cosmic phenomenon has control of our lives whereas a non-believer thinks that we are our own masters. We live in a world that runs by logic and science. If something has not been proved then it is dismissed. Despite the fact that we live in a world of science we still need something to comfort us so we tell ourselves that whatever we are doing in life isn’t for nothing. Maybe that’s why we need some belief in our lives, to give it a direction. So that we know we are not alone but part of a bigger plan and that we just have to realize our calling.

Sometimes it seems that karma or life isn’t fair to us. It is times like these that we need to believe, believe in ourselves and that we are not alone. All of us need something to believe in because it is the faith that keeps us going in life. It is belief of the human spirit that makes us built a happy and fulfilling life. It is hard to prove karma, but it isn’t hard to feel it. Maybe things happen because we deserve it. All the good or bad things in our lives could be just what we deserve. But is karma or life fair to us? Do we always get what we deserve in life, maybe not. So what do we do? All we can do is do good in life and who knows we might just get what we’ve always wanted. So don’t diss karma whatever may our belief be about it.

Sweating and starving aren’t the only ways to lose pounds. Your clothes can also do the job, atleast visually. This is what counts. Here are some of the “weightloss” tips:

· Get a Good Fit XXL tops and loose pants only make you appear bigger!

· Choose Soft Flowing Fabrics like crape, chiffon and satin, which cling to the body and give a slimmer look.

· Wide necklines like sweetheart or boat shapes flatter even fleshy throats.

· Boot cut Trousers actually balance out large hips; alternately do go in for a long slim skirt.

· If you’re built like beanpole opt for organzas, tissue silk or raw silk. You can hide a scrawny throat under turtlenecks or divert attention with a halter neck that bares the shoulders.

· Vibrant colours, Scarves and delicate Jewellery hides features that you don’t want to accentuate. This is a fashion dictum, whether you are 20, 40 or 60.

· Get rid of readymade Petticoats that go under a sari. For a more graceful drape get them specially stitched to your size, with slits down the sides to allow for free leg movement.

· Experiment with the Pleating to get unusual effects and make an individual style statement. Avoid falls on heavily-embroidered saris; they kill the look.

A proud saying by an Indian

Shraman Gupta — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 19:04:51 +0000

When we greet one another,
we fold our hands in Namaste…

because we believe…

that God resides in the heart
of every human being.

We come from a nation where we allow
a lady of Catholic origin…

to step aside for a Sikh
to be sworn in as Prime Minister…

to a Muslim President to govern
a nation of over 80 percent Hindus.

It may also interest you
to know that…

many of the origins to your words
come from Sanskrit.

For example,
maatr becomes mother…

bhratr becomes brother,
giamiti becomes geometry

trikonniti becomes trigonometry.

We have 5600 newspapers…

magazines in over twenty-one
different languages…

with a combined readership
of over 120 million.

We have reached the moon and back,
but yet…

you people still feel that we’ve only
reached as far as the Indian rope trick

We are the third largest pool in the word
of doctors, engineers
and scientists.

Maybe your grandfather
didn’t tell you that…

we have the third largest army
in the world.

And even then, I fold my hands
in humility before you…

because we don’t believe we are
above or beneath any individual.

And…

Namaste.

What life is all about?

Hemant Kapur — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 15:43:43 +0000

It is said that GOD gives us a life and only ‘HE’ has the right to take it away. Some believe GOD exists and some not. This question of whether GOD exists or not is unanswerable. Those who believe in GOD, offer prayers and visits temples, gurudwaras, masjids n churches. Life is short, dream, pain and meaningful. Life is short as men is immortal; dream as men thinks of his future; pain as men has infinite and unsatisfied needs; meaningful if men sets goals and achieves them with his hard work and dedication.

In everyone’s life, the most positive power that exists in world is ‘LOVE’. Every species on the earth are thirsty of love. “Let’s take a nice example of young people and theirs parents’ and grandparents’ generation. Today, young people suffer much more than their parents’ and grandparents’ generation because at back then people understood what really was important in life and they had something to suffer and die for’. Today young people don’t even know what they are living for, let alone what to die for.”

LIFE IS ALL ABOUT 2 THINGS:-

1.learning
2.choices

1. LEARNING:

Through it, we develop a reverence for all life. Then we are able to overcome anger, fear, greed, ego, domination, exploitation, and above all, wars.

2. CHOICES:

Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations.

CONLUDINGLY, one should live a LIFE in the best possible way as to enjoy it to the fullest. “SUCCESS AND FAILURE ARE A PART OF LIFE”. A VERY BEAUTIFUL SAYING BY HOMER, CENTURY: -
Insignificant mortals, who are as leaves are, and now flourish and grow warm with life, and feed on what the ground gives, but then again fade away and are dead.

Silence has a SOUND

Varun Gandhi — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 06:26:47 +0000

Cellphone, Iphone,Ipods, and any gadget you name its everywhere. today all the human beings have disappeared in the world of technology and connectivity on every front, we cant imagine our life’s without technology and connectivity. BUT! what about the discovery of your own? The moments of silence you used to spend with yourself.

Today people are hooked onto cellphones and then they actually sharing what they have done, or what has happened but there are very few who will say that Ohh!man Why cant we do this”.

Whatever pleasure or benefit people are deriving from all this seems to be a compulsion and its too weird to understand this. One common thing that we all are doing is not thinking freely and letting our mind and heart what they actually wander.

Some might say “i don’t wish to walk down the street with a cellphone or an ipod, idle time should be used to think things out”. Our mind is all neurotic which has to do something or the other every moment and if we are not doing anything we call it “WASTING TIME“.

Move On! Doing something!, and What it is ?not the point. Our speech, activity and reactions show the inner story of our thoughts.

Our Mind it itself an ACTIVITY! and if you want PEACE you need to drop your activity!
