Dear Blog,
Its been a while since I last wrote to you. I sure missed writing. When I started thinking about writing I really couldn't think of what I would write about or where do i start...
In the last few months I have been blessed with the opportunity to travel and travel to all parts of India. Everytime I have been to Mumbai I have always ached to meet friends but just could not. Feel bad to have lost a few friends in life. Then there are some friends who are always there for you unconditional support. Diwali is just a few days from today, I want to wish those lost friends and everyone a very happy diwali. Wish that we can connect again someday. Wish you and your family are happy and successful at everything that you do.

Our lifes are so tough and twisted that we often forget how and where we store our energies and use it for the right purpose. In science they say energy is neither created nor destroyed it transforms from one form to the other. The Earth at its core is a molten mass of gases and hot lava which when finds its exit to the surface in its raw form creates a path of destruction (Volcano) the same core is a source of this unending energy when mixed with water gushes out in the form of steam providing for energy that can be used to power our homes, industry everything we need. Our heart and thoughts are the same in its raw, uneducated, undisciplined form and can think of using everything it possible can to destruct ourselves or those whose life we touch (terrorist, robbers, rapist, murders, cheats, etc) and when channeled in the right direction, educated and disciplined allows us to create new things, ways in which we create an enable ourselves for better living. At the core we all are the same all that changes are the situations, the conditions and challenges we face (ironically though we feel our problem is unique most of the problems in the world are common and so are the solutions to it). We would so easily blame everything around us for our volcanoes to burst but forget the other possibility. A possibility that allows inner peace and isolation from the disturbance around and to channel it for constructive work. We are often pressured at work and get irritated at some failures or dissatisfaction so much so that we are ready to throw away years of hard work and dedication or quit for want of something that is not going to be any different than it is here and now. The larger question is how can we channel this energy in to something meaningful and spare ourselves from the anxiety, depression, anger, etc.
I have believed that the answer is within and choice is ours. There are somethings in life that we cant change like the sun rise or sun set we have to learn to live with it. I am not suggesting one bit to give up and do nothing but learn to adept rather than react. The challenge most of the time is we react instead if we stopped for a moment and put things in perspective helping both ourselves and the person we work with. This will not only help the other person realize the cost of his behavior but also give us the results that would be far more satisfying and lasting. This path though longer and tougher because we inherently are built to defend ourselves need far more practice and belief. We are a source of undying power for ourselves and for those whose life we touch.
Happy Diwali!!
