Living near Mother and in your Motherland are the best places to live in this world

Living near Mother and in your Motherland are the best places to live in this world

Bangalore is judged to be the best city to live in India: Mercer Survey Report and a Fact,

However, my real opinion is:
Living near Mother and in your Motherland are the best places to live in this world.


It's more than 100% true. It is our experience.

May be Nagpur is not in the picture but it is the 2nd best city to live in India. Then may be you rank any big or small city as the best.
However, it is certain that only New York in USA and only Mumbai in India are not the only cities which are the best in the world.
In fact, I go beyond that UK is not London, Japan is not Tokyo, France is not Paris or Milan, Spain is not Barcelona or Madrid, Mexico is not Mexico City, Philippines is not Qualalumpur, Jakarta is not Indonesia, Beijing or Hongkong is not China, etc. as shown in any movie or in any story. Why this jingoism, anything happen in those country should happen only in these cities? Does not other cities, villages, towns exits in this world? It does.
In fact, there could be many who would say, "My village, my town, my city is the best in the world. In fact the place where my parents stay are the best in the world. "
Shree Ramchandra (Lord Ram) said it more than one million years ago that still holds true, '""Janani Janma Bhumischa Swargadapi Gari Asi""' means, Living near Mother and in your Motherland are the best places to live in this world.

No problem go through this rediff article which tells the truth about India cities:
http://specials.rediff.com/money/2009/apr/28sld1-bangalore-best-indian-city-to-live-in.htm

It does not mean, I am against people going to places, but always people from big cities try to dominate the world, is what we have seen, hence this frank opinion instead of debate and quarrel on this issue.

Ashish, the world moves on, whether I am here or not

"Ashish, the world moves on, whether I am here or not."

"Work is important or Authority and Money are important?" This question was obvious for few students who saw lay-off, saw rat race and saw mal-practises right from the first time in their work life.
If work is given more important then Managers will get the work done without thinking about authority and other aspects.

If people give importance to position and authority like a King of the country then many times result depends on the decision that king takes. It depends on the character and passion of the king as well.

If money is given more importance then at every move of the work money will have its say.

Thus, a combination of many good things can fetch better result than just one of above things.
In fact it is a vast subject.

It has been observed that making Prime-Minster, King, President, GM, CEO as Working Positions than something like glam-sham authority then, it can bring more results. E.g. in USA whether it is Democratic or Republican President, the development work doesn't stop. Where as in many other countries it is not the case.

Once I had a brief talk with one MONK. He was holding the chair of Librarian. Once he came late on purpose when I went to borrow book. His assistance did the job. When he came, he looked at me and said, "Ashish, the world moves on, whether I am here or not." Then I realised that, yes, if that is the funda then everyone will remember death as the ultimate happening in life and will contribute more and better way.

When, this story was told, everyone got the message and decided that they will contribute more and leave a legacy when they leave this abode.

I don't know the result of smart working, but I know the result of hard work

I don't know the result of smart working, but I know the result of hard work: (Poem):

One student came to me, asked, "Sir, I believe in smart work than hard work."
He was telling me about smart work and its advantages.
How he bunked the classes, still he got 6/10 marks and all that.
Then he told me, how he cheated Professors, and used symbol to copy in the exam room.
Then he told me how he doesn't study from books but studies by short-cuts and from short-notes,
Then he told me how, to cheat the system of examinations and enjoy the life.
The he told me how smartly he worked in the previous organisation before joining MBA.

I kept my mouth shut, and listened to him carefully, and laughed and enjoyed the way talked.
He said, he wanted me to listen to him, as he works smartly and get the faster results.

Then slowly, I said, " I have a doubt, if you allow me to interrupt."
He said, "Yes go ahead, now I am smart teacher and you are student,"
I said, "Is that so? Boy, I have experience of your age, still you say so?"
He claimed yes, he is fater than me and will achive more than me and others Professors.

Then, I said, "Boy, now what you do and how you do, we know, and next time you do cheating and all those smart things, I'll expell from this institute."

Then he said, "Then what is the fun in being friendly with students?"

I said, "There is demarkation line between Teachers and Students, you have crossed that limit.
Because of you my teachers are facing troubles in their job and life"

He said, "How?"

I said, "Once you copied few sentences from front bench student, that was marked red in the paper,

Once, you made fingure marks and that was noticed by the external examiner, but he left that issue as you didn't do it when he entered the calss.

Because of this my teacher, faced, thrashing from seniors, this part you don't know boy.

There are many such incidences we saved people like you who think they are smarter, but you don't know. "

The boy was simply shocked, he never knew, he is been watched by all seniors.

Then, I said, "Better you concentrate on studies now and try to work hard in your next job, then see the results."

The boy was flattened. He accepted his mistakes and then finally, I said,
"I don't know the result of smart working, but I know the result of hard work."

Why Indian Rural Population always glitter?

Why Indian Rural Population always glitter?
http://business.rediff.com/report/2009/apr/17/perfin-rural-india-glitter-in-times-of-gloom.htm

True, no-one can ignore common man living in huts or in villages, in this communication, commutation, careful world, especially in India. Having solid social fabric of consumption culture since ages. It glitters there as people have the glittering motives unlike urban. If these people get something they capitalise it fully, where as for urban population what ever they get it becomes obsolete within no time.
No problem India lives in village, will live in village and there lies the real people who live near to earth, water, sky, fresh air and live glittering life.

Great, India is great.

The Enlightened Spark never dies

The Enlightened Spark never dies

What ever may happen
The Enlightened Spark never dies in him
Lots of failures, lots of downfall, but
The Enlightened Spark never dies
Lots of arguments, lots of opposition
The Enlightening Spark never dies in him
He enlightens young, old, middle aged minds, as
The Enlightening Spark never dies in him
That is the kind of person I met
That is the kind of person we need, all the times on this earth

Remember the Efforts put (Poem)

Remember the Efforts put (Poem)

When I see the healthy child,
I remember the efforts put by its mother.
When I see the Jungle, and Himalayas,
I remember the efforts put by the God.
When I see the giant organisations,
I remember the efforts put by all the stake holders.
When I see a beautiful house,
I remember the efforts put by the owner.
When I see the giant nations,
I remember the efforts put by all the citizens.
When I see the ocean,
I remember the efforts put by all the water sources.
When I see the clouds,
I remember the efforts put by Sun to evaporate water.
When I see the successful candidates
I remember the efforts put by them.
When I see the Universe around,
I remember the efforts put by every entity.
It's true that this universe was built after solid efforts of every entity,
Hence, before taking any action please remember instead of destruction
try to leave legacy behind.

Congratulations to YouTube for launching YouTube-EDUCATION

Congratulations to YouTube for launching YouTube-EDUCATION
http://www.youtube.com/edu

It seems, like Wikipedia, this will also be hit.

My family and friends have only one and unanimous opinion Knowledge should be available free of cost and everyone in this world must be educated, cultured, civilised at its maximum extent so that this world becomes real heaven to live with.
Education can bring happiness, positivity,prosperity, health, contributions in life/ lives and even lead to self actualisation first, then self-realisation and finally self-enlightenment.
Hope this contribution goes in that direction.

Is it possible to be totally self-reliant in this world?

Is it possible to be totally self-reliant in this world?

Though I was the biggest contributor, the most productive in my organisation for which I even got awarded, still due to overseas losses in my organisations, I have suffered 4 lay-offs in my life. Hence, especially on economic and financial front, this question becomes relevant. There could be at least million such cases around the world.

That is why this possible discussion/ suggestion/ question/ problem solver.

In fact, Mahatma Gandhi suggested self-reliant individuals, villages, nations, and the whole world. However, in this Privatisation, Globalisation, Liberalisation era where world seems to be so unified and interdependent that whether Gandhi's dream will come true or not is a big question now.

Also, if we know this is possible then why are we wasting our resources by not doing so?

Physically some day some time every human requires help, that's for sure but when such situations occur the think-tanks around the world start discussion from Zero.

If you have suggestions, welcome, put here or on any website around the world, contribution is more important than who does it or where he does it.

It is achievements than competition that encourages creative and innovative people

It is achievements than competition that encourages creative and innovative people



"Yes. Yes. Yes. I did it", were remarks of my mother when she wove a whole woolen sweater in one day.



"I did it," my uncle said, when he got rid of weeds from his farm in one day.



"Yes, I touched it and played with it," were remarks of mine and my mother when we took a leopard baby in our hands.



"Yes, dolphin kissed me", I said when it kissed me when I was young. Some one said, "It's by fluke". So I went to dolphin, called the trainer and requested him to kiss my small chicks thrice. Dolphin did it and my sister took a photograph. Then I said, "Oye, in such small issues don't challenge me, ha, ha, ha".



"One of my friend used to sit for meditation for 3 hours, once someone said, can you recite the .... part of vedanta for 3 hours besides meditation. I was there, my friend and me look at each other, and we said, "Let's do it". We did it and felt the ultimate joy in our life. Then same person challenged us can you read Bible in 3 hours, we did it. Then he challenged can you read Kuran in 12 hours, we did it. Then he challenges us about Geeta, we did it. Then challenged us about Adigranth, Gurugranthsaheeb, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Theravada Buddhism, Zen Education, ...we did it. Thus, in fact in those Summer holidays we got accustomed with almost all the major faiths at present existing in this world. More than challenge it was joy ride for us. Then he challenged us to find similarities between all. We made it in tabular format. The findings were like this, 95% all the religions say similar things. 4% dogmas are different for objective is same hence 95+4=99% similarity and 1% difference due to physical differences. Finally we reduced those 1% to 0.1%. We realised that God is one and faiths are also one, and procedures are similar. Our life changed, hope it is for good for all.



Once, DNA news paper sub-editor send me email and gave lot of questions on time management, I answered it, suddenly she called me at 11:00 and said we want to make it applicable to B'School students. I finished the writing at 1:00 am. Felt creative joy. Next day I had to go to Kolkata for official purpose, my Aeroplane was at 3:00 am. I went. Slept on when we reached Kolkata. When my colleague and DNA sub-editor called me about publication of interview, more than me my boss was happy. I could know it next day in details when I saw it on the WWW. Creative joy was immense.



One of my neighbor had hobby of searching age old tunnels, monuments, scripts, etc. Once he went to Jungle near Nagpur, at remote place he found few statues carved out of stone. He predicted few more such things there. Called the ASI and they found it. My neighbour was overjoyed for his findings. Again creative joy. Many times he goes for search and returns back only after 3 to 4 months. Family has no objections. His next generation also goes with him but not more than 15 days, being children less than 15 years. Thus, creativity is getting genetically linked to next generation.



Once my friends and myself were challenged to perform a drama on stage. We did it. The joy was so high that my few friends started dreaming big. I was never interested in Glam-Sham that's different story. But creative joy was at its superiority.



In early childhood, once we were playing hide and seek, suddenly I looked at my sister's frock. It was quite big, but, my friends like the idea of wearing it. I did it and rest is history, as no one could recognise me there after. I wore dhoti, pajama, half-pant and what not, I was never caught in such dresses. Creative joy.



Once, I was typing the Post-Doctorate thesis, and making analysis of findings from over 2200 organisations around the world. I told my mother, it is 10:00 pm, I have had my dinner. It was Tuesday night. However, please wake me up tomorrow in the morning as I have meeting on Wednesday, with my PhD Guide and I have to prepare.

Somehow, mother saw the light in the room and thought I am wake up so she didn't disturbed me. She went for work, and routine went ahead. After completing that analysis and writing the whole chapter, I felt the joy of creation and creativity. It was 13:00 pm. I thought I am late hence, I went to meet Professor. He asked me, "Where were you yesterday we had meeting yesterday, not today." I thought he is joking. Then, I realised the whole matter, told him the real story. Finally we came to the conclusion that for almost 40 hours I was doing analysis and typing. No one knew it till I told them. A creative joy is immeasurable when you realise it, feel it and spread it.



Once my colleague and me were thought to be competitors. I said, we'll never be. He said how? We decided to write on same topic. He went east I went west while witting the topic, then he went south I went north. Our analyses were different, writing style was different, experiences were different, taste was different and people who published had two distinct criteria of publication as well. Now, tell me where is competition? He agreed. We felt the creative joy.



Once my colleagues made an idea, why not we send Ashish with these nuts? He meant students, to rappelling? Idea had risk factor and no one was ready to take that risk. 122 students. I did, but before start, I said, "Do what ever except risking life. Everyone will be responsible for their own lives and Team Leaders of 10 students each, will be responsible for their teams well being. Within 5 minutes it was decided. I was out of students domain, so that they could enjoy independently and fully. After coming back I had no story to tell, however, I forwarded my students who had many stories to tell. Creativity was transferred to students, and, I felt joy about next generation has shown creativity. I felt tonnes of joy in creativity of students, who enjoyed ethically and with mixed bag of students having different backgrounds and tastes. Great experience. I gave full freedom to them and gave them limitations they can do. They did it within that frame work. Rest is history.



Once my father was to write, direct and act in Drama, he did it. I saw joy immense joy on his face. He performed so well that when the drama was played before the physically challenged people they cried with joy of creativity, compassion, ...it was out of world experience altogether.



Once competitors played a spoil sport for my sister, who happens to be Medical practitioner. She started realising here other domain expertise. She was creative and successful that her competitors were no where seen. In fact we were brought up by our parents in such a fashion that super competition and super intelligent people cannot destroy us as we always find a way out. We are tough since childhood that as many people as many multiple ways are possible to think and do a job and creativity is unending. In fact once I had shown my students how I can write one sentence with same meaning in 70 different ways. Grammar people accepted 35 ways and other 35 were hard to conceive them, as it was never tried. Creativity is unlimited and unending. Just you have to give a thought, or intuitive thought that's all.



Once in a childhood I said, "Air can be seen with naked eyes". Right in front of some 10 friends. They kept mum, but later they laughed and started teasing me. I said, let us go I'll show you a place where it visible. We took out our bicycle and so next day we went to that dream place where air could be seen, felt, enjoyed". It was secret mission for our household people. I took them to that place and they saw it. Everyone agreed something is visible. In fact that was Mirage. Any how, I felt immense joy after proving my point. However, next day, the news reached to whole city, and I was called next to Einstein. Anyhow we still laugh at that incidence. All my friends were creative and are well placed in creative fields.



I have seen creative people in every corner of this world and beyond. They don't have restricted places. They are in villages, urban, semi-urban, jungles, every where. The world is moving well as they are there. Most of the creative people like me try to stay away from public eye, ears, and glam-sham as we don't like that. In fact many of my best friends are Saints and seers and they also like to live in oblivion. They are actually Sadhus, Saints, Sanyasis, Fakirs, even there Rich friends but trying to live out of domains and quarters of people. It keeps their creativity intact. Few people objected do you mean the fashion designers who live in glam-sham are not creative? I said, "They are but they will face more restrictions to their creativity if they are famous and rich." Any how, it is up to individual what to do and what not to. It is left to them and it is not part of my life and this discussion. No interference in the lives of individual is and should be our motto.



Once I saw one farmer doing creative farming, no one knows him. Apart from sowing fields and getting rich harvest he is also planting beautiful flowery plants at his house. He has one rose plant having at least 20 coloured flowers. He used grafting, budding techniques in such a fashion that the Agriculture Scientists were amazed to see the practical that they taught till that date. The farmer is not rich and don't expect to be rich, he likes the way he is and his family is happy in creative joy. His next generation has learnt more techniques and are now adding creativity in to their Father's field, of course an expanded one by now.



I have seen creativity in Yoga, creativity in Medical field, Innovations in Teaching field, Creativity in almost every life's most important domains that have direct impact on millions. However, the biggest contributors will always remain unknown to the world, that's for sure, as they do it for self-realisation or for self-actualisation and that is unseen by the world, and they are not interest to show it to the world.


Any how, It is achievements than competition that encourages creative and innovative people.

What can happen in Global Unitized Village? See the possibilities

What can happen in Global Unitized Village? See the possibilities

1. There was question put for Remittance on the world bank discussion. Which could be answered by few experts. However, these are the possibilities of future:
The Quesiton was like this:
Quesiton:
First, it is good that Remittance has become source of many families and countries. How about loyalty and integrity?Second, are Resilient people responsible for confusion in the World Economy? Third, I am not against going for greener-pascher, however, if majority leave for a happening place then it could create a talent gap at one place in this global village, and can also creating intelligence-surplus at other place. Similarly, it could hamper both the countries in some special cases by this in some typical cases.Fourth, the resilience you are talking, also shows that people have started believing in boundaries-less world and hence they may demand Global-Citizenship and will demand remittance-less transaction. I mean, transferring money from any place to any place in any country and may demand less restriction on visas. Hence, the 180 days stay in USA for Green-Card holders will no more exists in such situation. It seems now that the world is moving towards total integration, and the that is how this Remittance problem is moving.
+++++++See the possibilities++++++++++++
2. There will be people having passport as a Global Citizen.
3. There will be possibility that people staying in the Space Station for whole life.
4. There will be a possiblity that a person may go for the Space Voyage for whole of his rest of this life.
5. Some may ask for Universal cash card.
6. Some may demand to be like Bond 007.
7. some may demand Multiterrain vehicle be used on Roads, water, space, air, and other places.
8.
................
time is less to evlove ideas and get into happening. Human beings are very slowly progressing, that is the reason of all the drawbacks. If progress is faster there will more jobs, more stability, more educted people, more places human can go/ explore, ....
