The Mark of Jagan-Nath , Puri

As I walked towards the so Famous temple, I found myself staring in awe at the throngs of people, mostly older, following blindly the Pundas ( Pundits/ self procliamed..messengers of the almighty).
As I was being pushed in the queue to enter the temple, I noticed

"ONLY HINDUS ALLOWED"
I kept looking at that for quite some time!

The next 45 odd minutes passed pretty quickly, while I was absorbing the magnanimity of the temple.
Ancient Rock
Carved
with sculptures of sexually explicit positions
and
Gods
Goddesses
The pantheon of Hindu Gods
The blind ritualistic behaviour of people
Offerings of Ghee and stuff to purify the sins
It went on..

I moved out.. took a local bus to rush to Bhuvaneshwar / airport to cath my 2 'oclock flite!
Surrounding by Oridya speaking local population, I was quite n amazement of being part of a country which is so so very diverse, not only in the surrounding but also in Language and cultures, and i am so lucky to be able to experiance so much in so less times.

Throughout the flight, my mind was so so stuck of how can I as an indivisual bring about a sea change in a country of such mammoth diversification.

How, By 2020, 80% of Us Indians will be just youth..between 18-35yrs of age.
How can I help move the Nation of such Diversification.

I got my ideas.
I am still carying them
I am confiedent of doing something for MY Country
I am so proud to be an Indian!!

Yes I am , We will ! AND WE CAN!!
the Dragons will be just watching!!

( after so many different posts which came and went away , I am writing a little about change) Do you know how much we change everyday!! And how much we potentially can.. Just a few fates Our body PHYSICALLY changes completely within a span of 10 days.( how, You may Ask?) The Atoms quantitative each and every cell of our body ranging from our blood cells, skin cells..Even our Bones CHANGE completely in a month. Which means , not only do they die and regeneraqte in their respective cycles, the material quantitative them is exchanged / changed with the outside world. ( Can you absorb the above line, its pretty awe striking) WHO are you?.. You have completely changed in a span of a month time.. ( Your hand.. Wash part of something/ someone else last onto) My belief about The Flux of our thoughts has been published here and here ! ( Though this may have come in another entry, but related) a SINGLE though in our mind.. POTENTAILLY ( and does so physically everyday) Creates a chemical.. phy

Its your decisions and not your conditions that chnage your destiny The secret of success is using PAIN and PLEASURE instead of pain and pleasure using you! If you do that you are in control , otherwise life is!! NOTHING IN LIFE HAS ANY MEANING EXCEPT THAT MEANIING YOU GIVE IT Things do not change, we change Its not actual pain that drives us but our fear that something will lead to pain Its not pleasure that dirves us, but our belief-our sense of certainity that somehow taking a certain action will ITS NOT THE EVENTS OF OUR LIFES THAT SHAPE US , BUT OUR BELIEFS AS TO WHAT THOSE EVENTS MEAN! BELIEFS ARE POWER TO CREATE AND POWER TO DESTROY! WE ARE WHAT WE ARE BECAUSE WE FIRST IMAGINED IT Achieveing our goals will never make us happy in the long run; It s who we become as we overcome the obstacles necessary to achieve your goals, that can give us the deepest and most long lasting sense of fulfillment! A TRUE DECISION IS THE ONE YOU CAN ACT UPON, AND ACT UPON NOW!! Knowing what to do

This Day Then

Nervously along with my cousin sister, brother and along with some unknown people we were at this balcony looking across the Powai Lake. And this effervescent girl is also noticed around. Bright , bespectacled, with a pony-tail bobbing and wearing a bright kurta and jeans/capris. Before anyone could talk, The Teacher ushered us into what was a makeshift classroom. It was the house of one of uncles. The hall which had the balcony had durries spread across its length, with the Glass Dining table pushed in the the corner, the chairs laid around the walls. We were on the third day of the five day Art of Living program being organised at the house of one of the volunteers. All through the brief exercises of Yoga and discussions, apart from exchanging smirks with my cousins, I could not help notice the presence of the girl. At the end of the class, there was brief community snack/ dinner organised. It was late evening by the end of the class and amazing wind was ruffling in the balcony. I s
