Once upon a time....

There are many incidents which happen in our life. Ones which educate us, the others which defoliate us. We seldom get time to rejuvenate and refresh. Understand what is going on and why is it so. Being a part of the so called metropolis contentment and “creative thinking ‘is becoming passive. We have more counselors and tutors than the problems themselves. Young India has more cases of depression than expression. Growth seems to be an illusion and your human mind the fodder to grudge.

Our lives seem to lived in constant fear and mistrust…agony and disbelief…insecurity and hopelessness…cacophony and disdain. We all at a certain point seem to budge and give in to our personal worries. Resent for having lead our lives as mediocre. My vision of what you can do to change your life for the better could possibly turn a new leaf in your chapter for existence. Drawing inspiration from role models and achievers in varied fields of expertise I have tried to add my wisdom to it.

Inspire to perspire. The genius which is within you is waiting to be unleashed. Connect to yourself at silent moments of the day thinking positively. Meditation and power words help. The journey to the world outside starts from yourself. It is worthy to take risks and learn from your follies than rest on past laurels. Know what you are good at and hone it well. What makes you exist and is there any worthy act that you have done each day would work wonders. Happiness comes form within because you relish each moment of your life. Moments of ecstasy soothe the gadget seekers.

While we have statistics to prove work trends we are loosing in the race to monitor our behavior. Human behaviour is becoming increasingly complex as the PC behaviour becomes easy for us to crack!! E mails keep us connected where as we ourselves feel disconnected from within. Good thoughts reap good attitude. Big dreams and fancies become achievable. Good attitude has the power to influence and change the world for the better. If that doesn’t happen. You be the change.

Regret and repent tarnishes all the good efforts that you could probably ever make. Live your life in such a way that when you are no more your virtues live a legacy unto themselves. Each moment in your life is special. Live it as if there were no tomorrow. Planning for the days ahead is great but do not miss out on the present. Like great thinkers and leaders of the world died repenting that they could do more with their life…..a realization which came too late…..hope the same doesn’t happen to you.

Rejuvenation is as important as reincarnation. Charge up your cells by unwinding…maybe sports, movie, reading. Take your charge breaks. Yoga experts vouch by this ancient method of reinvention. Try and wake up early. Join the sunrise gang. Greeting the bed late at night after watching graphic art is not suggested. Old habits die hard…I say they never die!!! If you want to quit a habit for good do it now. This is not a fancy thought; it makes sense because if some horrific incident makes you leave you are no better.

We are prone to mass hysteria and crass logic. We see things as we are than what they are. Follow the crowd no matter what and live in our oblivious world of mayhem has been dominating our lives of late. There are others for whom we seem to live our lives and satiate our selves with false notions. Do what you think sounds good and seems good within the boundaries of your creative freedom. Don’t let your creative urge die a nascent death. Opportunity to many comes once. Failure starts seeming natural then.



As our lives progress from sunrise years to twilight years we should be able to hear our calling....from within. A state and environment that you crave to live in and feel happy form within. Once that comes success will ensue….as a result of what has happened in the past. You will stop chasing numbers and objects and start reaching out to a much bigger thought that will escalate you to ecstatic heights of glory.

And when you look around you might find a sea of humans waiting to crack your code to a great life….and alas a lot of them could be trying it with gadgets…missing the human element in front of them.

Once upon a time….would sound like a fairy tale

Blog reply on Big B's blog

A trainer by profession at India's fastest growing BPO Info vision at gurgaon,I am also a columnist for the Metro Now a daily tabloid of the Times Of India group and Hindustan Times.

A creative person by nature from childhood I have grown up on the values of your screen persona Vijay and adored you as God.

Your dignified presence and silence and the way you have brought up your kids have left an indelible mark on my prospective thoughts. I cannot claim to be the torch bearer of Big B's greatest fan on the planet but certainly can vouch for the enticing position of the most intense.

Having closely followed all your movies and drwan inspiration from them I feel proud to idolise a human like you for the following reasons:

1. Your ubringing speaks of itself
2. The values that you have nurtured over the years are reflected in your family tree
3. The dedication and sincerity with which you work at this segment of your life are noteworthy and worth emulating
4. Your humility stahds second to none.
5. The versatality and quantum of work that you have been a part of Indian cinema has made our country proud at all quarters.
6. Your attitude of respect towards the younger generation.
7. The fact that you fought against all odds in life : a struggling start, no god father, ridicule by AIR for your voice , a non glamouised education, an ailing mother and father , ABCL and its demons to haunt you , polotical imbroglio are a few among a list of others that are equally invincible.
8. Your confidence in what you do has overshadowed all stars throughout the planet and made you an institution among millions the world over.
9. Your thought for a noble cause wherever possible is praiseworthy

Last but not the least your bilief in the Almighty and your family are a class apart.

Generations of would be and would be nots would ridicule you. The media might sometimes open up your pandor'as box for glorification. A certain section of th Film industry might have developed bad taste towards yourself for vested interests and so on and so forth.

For every human on the planet who is bent on maligning you I say there are a hundred others wishing good luck to you and your family and praying for your well being throughout.

It isnt that ( as you mentioned a couple of days back in an editorial article in TOI ) we waste time idolising stars. What should be understood is if real icons like you can prove in a lifetime that one can think beyond the ordinary in all spheres of alife and rise above the dictum" think big,dream big" to " think big,act bigger" we should be grateful that a noble soul called Amitabh Bachachan has walked upon this planet and motivated our lives for the better.

I am enclosing an article of mine for you reading if you find time of course....

Will continue to blog and comment positively. God bless you and your family.

It would be an honour for me if you could visit my blog and leave a comment on my articles through which I am trying to bring a positive change in society.

Your blessings and comments would be highly valued.
