The Nirvana Juncture

This was a forward which i received, but i just like it for the simplicity with which it was told.About our desires and attachment in life. There was a rich King who had 4 wives.He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to the finest of delicacies. He gave her nothing but the best. He also loved the 3rd wife very much and was always showing her off to neighboring kingdoms. However, he feared that one day she would leave him for another. He also loved his 2nd wife. She was his confidante and was always kind, considerate and patient with him. Whenever the King faced a problem, he could confide in her to help him get through the difficult times. The King's 1st wife was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and kingdom. However, he did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her. One day, the King fell ill and he knew his time was short.He thought of his luxurio...

What scares you most in life? We’re not alone. Many people have a fear of something. People are scared of different things, some scared of certain creatures, ghost, darkness while some are afraid of heights, water. Then there are others who are scared of letting themselves down, some are scared of dying and many scared when they come across certain superstitions beliefs, many afraid to undertake long journeys coz they are afraid to travel by plane or train. Many of us here might have overcome our fears too, coz if we back down from our fears, they just cling on to us more. So people, what scares you most and if you overcame the fear, how did you manage that. Back-stabbing by people we really trusted,that's what scares me most in my life. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Franklin D. Roosevelt .

There's a saying which goes something like this: Bread cast on the waters comes back to you. The good deed you do today may benefit you or someone you love at the least expected time. If you never see the deed again at least you will have made the world a better place - And, after all, isn't that what life is all about? One day,a poor boy named Howard Kelly,who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, How much do I owe you?". You don't owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness." He said..... "Then I thank you from my heart." As Howard Kelly left t...

How many times in our lives,have we absolutely known that something was a certain way, only to be wrong? A woman was waiting at an airport one night,With several long hours before her flight.She hunted for a book in the airport shops,Bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop.She was engrossed in her book but happened to see,That the man sitting beside her, as bold as could be,Grabbed a cookie or two from the bag in between, Which she tried to ignore to avoid a scene. So she munched the cookies and watched the clock,As the gutsy cookie thief diminished her stock.She was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by,Thinking, "If I wasn't so nice, I would blacken his eye." With each cookie she took, he took one too,When only one was left, she wondered what he would do.With a smile on his face, and a nervous laugh, He took the last cookie and broke it in half. He offered her half, as he ate the other,She snatched it from him and thought... oooh, brother.This guy ha...

This is one of the most inspirational story i've come across, cause something bad happens we blame god for it, why god, why me. This simple story changed my perspective towards life. Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983. From world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed: "Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"? To this Arthur Ashe replied: The world over -- 50,000,000 children start playing tennis, 5,000,000 learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals, When I was holding a cup I never asked GOD "Why me?". And today in pain I should not be asking GOD " Why me? " .

You may have heard a version of this used as a spiritual illustration, but this may just possibly be closer to reality... A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, rocks about 2" in diameter. He then asked the students if the jar was full? They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He then asked once more if the jar was full. This time the students were sure and they responded with a unanimous "YES!" The professor then produced two cans of beer fro...

I know, everyone here loves to dream.Well i'm talking about dreams we see when asleep,not day dreaming.Have you ever seen any dream so beautiful,scary or memorable that you would like to share.Like there are certain dreams which we see repeatedly...or some we get a deja vu feeling.c'mon lets share our dreams. A dream you have at night will never be seen absurd to you while it’s happening. You live your dreams as if they represent the most realistic & logical situation in the world. Once of the weirdest dream i ever had was that i saw my left arm was amputed and i woke up from my dream and i lifted my one arm with the help of other arm and it fell senseless on the bed, i started crying at nite...after a few minutes blood stared rushing back in my sensless arm & i could feel it as a part of my body. Actually i kept my arm in a same position for a long time blocking the blood flow and it got numb. I can never forget that dream, it was so real and quite scary to me. ...

What was the best day of your life? A day which one can never forget, for it happens to be 'the best day of my life'.Many such dayz may come in futher, but until now this happens to be the best one.So ,What was the best day of your life? I can't say its the best day of my life,but ya,most memorable one. It happened sometime back,when i was returning from kerala to delhi,it was the first time i was travelling alone by flight and the flight was a direct one.As we reached GOA,the weather b'came bad, and the plane was always in some air-pit all the time, well as passengers we were worried and the pilot kept announcing,not to worry (that made us more tensed),heavy lighting outside! ...and we couldn't land in goa,due to terribly bad weather,and the flight was directed to Bombay.At bombay it was almost some 10hrs wait for us to catch a connecting flight,but there i got some friends and we roamed around the airport ...and finally...in a guest room of the airport we met ...

Amazon.com Logo You might think the arrow does nothing here. But it says that amazon.com has everything from a to z and it also represents the smile brought to the customer's face. Wow, that is quite deep. FedEx Express Logo Not sure how many of you have noticed a hidden symbol in the Federal Express logo.The 'arrow' that you can see between the E and the x in this logo. The arrow was introduced to underscore speed and precision, which are part of the positioning of the company. SUN Microsystems logo The SUN Microsystems logo is a wonderful example of symmetry and order. It was a brilliant observation that the letters u and n while arranged adjacent to each other look a lot like the letter S in a perpendicular direction. Spectacular. Reader's Digest Stable Magazine The above are two magazines from the Readers Digest stable. Again, the attempt to communicate what it is about quite figuratively through the logo catches my attention. IBM Logo This was a logo designed in-ho...

Does change means we're always begining in someway? Does change help us grow as a human being? Are we ready to welcome change in our relaxed life? Change, its scary. Its hard. Its needed. Sometimes it feels good; other times it feels bad.But one thing is for sure. It keeps on happening just when our life seems settled. The world changes, life moves on. There are always new things to do and learn.I believe variety is the spice of your life and there should be constant change in life, be it good or bad,i'm ready to risk it & i'am quite curious by nature :-) .

There are lots of movies, which had touched your heart feelings, and simply made you cry or made you laugh out of control or simply make you think. Superb...that's all I can say for 'The Shawshank Redemption'.Hope that lits the path of freedom. The Count of Monte Cristo, it isn't just revenge, but it's "justice".Watching that guy be betrayed like that & go through hell & then seeing him rise and making them pay makes you feel great.Also Forrest Gump, Braveheart,One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest too,Gangs of New York. Spirit- Stallion of the Cimarron, Hercules and Finding Nemo for the concept of the "Indomitable Spirit" A Walk in the Clouds,Sweet November,When Harry met Sally, How to Make an American Quilt for human relationships. i like Rang de basanti among the recent movies, for i believe justice delayed is justice denied. Also Swades, Lakshya, Dil Chata Hai, Mitr for ceratin reasons i liked. Jaane bhi do yaaron, Chasme Ba...

Have you ever thought what is the purpose of your life? what is the meaning of life? what is life all about? I saw this question in a magazine, still a good one coz everyone has a different perspective of life. Life is a masterpiece you create,you can make it better or you can make it worse but Who wants to make it worse. I do believe that Believe in yourself,Follow your heart & Live your dreams.Don't let negative attitude effect you, be optimistic and if you believe in miracles, it do happens. We live the life of a goldfish,swimming in the same orbit every day...inspire your life,motivate it.Change is a vital part of life. Life is too precious to waste it, coz we live only once.So enjoy every moment of your life. At times life is totally unpredictable. "The winds of grace are allways blowing, but you have to raise your sail." Sri Ramaskrishna .
