Life's interesting thoughts!

We are surrounded by people, feelings, emotions, confusions etc. It makes me think are we right? Are our thinking right!. This made me scribble my feelings in an electronic format :-) I just decided to pen down the things that are seemingly under my control to correct and become a good person to myself.

Life teaches wonderful lessons every day every hour. Some of us attempt to learn the lesson in a right way, some of us listen and ignore, some of us pay attention not to listen so on and so forth.
I have learnt some insights from past experiences and is making every attempt to correct myself in the process. To begin with, How many of us agree that we have attitude problem? Am sure 95% people say Nay to this question. While we take this hypothetical percentage to a reality, we can also stand justified in saying that 95% have attitude as a problem in them.

Let me just say this with few examples: (Correct me if am wrong). An attempt to search a honest answer
1. Many of us have commuted in auto. Do we thank him when we get down from the auto? - Am sure we say No to this. Because we feel there is no necessity. But just imagine, a simple thanks is for he making us reach our destination safely.
2. We go to a retail mall. Since most of the retail malls have self service, we just see things and we pick n buy. Occasionally we ask the representatives. If we see an item that has fallen down ( may be we could have put it down or any other customer might have put down), do we take an initiative to keep it in its place even if we see it has fallen down? We just ignore as we have a tendency that the Representatives are paid for picking things fallen down.
3. We go with our friends for a walk or for shopping and see our friend / someone slipping down. What is our instant reaction? Surprise, Shock / Smile? If you say surprise, why do you get surprised? You should just offer a helping hand. If you say smile, why do you smile Just for a second, put yourself in that person's position. One can understand the feeling.
4. How many times would we have shown a grim face at a person not dressed properly? Our instant reaction is Yak! Is it under our control? Perhaps situation could have made that person.
5. How many times do we appreciate / accept one's achievements wholeheartedly? We always try to blemish their presentation / work.
Adding to it, we seldom see people giving due credit to the person who has done it..
Am sure most of us try to be exceptionally good on the aforesaid instances. But we should always take it as a practice and strive to find the real "you". Am not sounding to be spiritual or so. I am just trying to try and change myself, my attitudes, thoughts so that it leads me as a positive person in life.So thought to share with all.

Proud Achievers!

"The greatest things are accomplished by individual people, not by committees or companies."

Today was one of a great day for many of my classmates. A warm Sunday, 3 days before the End semester examinations, etc to call this day. Today was a special day - A day when India scores 349/5, a day when Zaheer Khan creates a record, Gambhir hits a ton, etc.. For my college, it was a convocation day, another formal event happening. Some of my class mates got their Bachelor's degree in their respective disciplines. Adding a star to this day was achievements from 2 of my class mates. - Shamala and Bhavani.

Talents wherever it is however it is should be mentioned with true appreciation from the heart...

This class has tremendous amount of innate potential girls. Over the recent days, many of the kids(! I guess I can call them now) obtained their bachelor's degree coming out exceedingly well.

SHAMALA - She is a silent awesome girl in the class. And extremely gifted with intelligence, potential and good amount of analytical thinking + academic brilliance. This got exposed in the form of she securing 2nd rank in her degree. What a great achievement!.. Shamala made all of us proud today. I am very proud and happy for you Shamala...Kudos SHAMALA!. More to go!

I wouldn't stand right if I don't mention this girl in the blog today. She was the Star of today's function. True Talents is respected, appreciated, and applauded. BHAVANI (very brilliant) got a Gold medal for being the class 1st (I remember this distinctly in the midst of few awards she got today). AMAZING. In addition to this, she was asked to release their annual book that contains the graduates who passed out this year. Very happy. CONGRATULATIONS BHAVANI!, more to go!

Both the girls made the entire class proud and am sure the near and dears of both the girls would have stood dumbstruck on the awards they have got... Watch out for this space as some more girls who deserve to be mentioned and made me proud of my association with them. To what I know, 2 more girls are in the mention list... As I said, the two girls who stood University Fifth are getting their accolades today and tomorrow. Shubha Mangala and Sindhuja - truly they rocked. I have mentioned about them already. They just proved that they are very studious and miles to go girls!... Triple S have once again proved... KUDOS!.

My blessings for them to get more!

Googling

When I was searching for an information on the net, sorry googling on the net...I came across an information which I thought of sharing..

We all know Google is a Search Engine company.. Interestingly Google began life in January 1996, not as an internet search engine and online advertising corporation as it was destined to become, but as the thesis project of Larry Page, later joined in his endeavors by Sergey Brin, both PhD students at Stanford University, California.

The name 'Google' itself was derived from a misspelling of 'googol' (ten raised to the power of a hundred) but the original name for the search engine was BackRub', paying homage to the theory of the importance of back linking, or citation, which was the cornerstone of the project.

The verb 'Google,' was added to the Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary in 2006 and Google has become integrated into society as a noun in its own right. The practice of searching for information on the web has come to be referred to simply as 'Googling', a tribute to the success and effectiveness of the project's aims.

Interesting isn't it!

Pick in the Rain - Another Story

I may sound crazy if I keep posting stories and stories. However, this little story really made me think and have been making honest efforts to help people close to me or people whom I care for. (If not the entire society, a part) and definitely not for the 3rd lesson but for happiness. I liked this.. Guess you also would like.

One night, at 11:30 PM, an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rain storm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her - generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxi cab. She seemed to be in a big hurry! She wrote down his address, thanked him and drove away.

Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached. It read: "Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes but my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away. God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others."

Lessons:

• Offer help to anyone who needs it

• Thank others for helping you.

• If you help someone. Someone will help you

What an amazing truth!
