Moving around freely may not be actual Freedom . For me being free from the mind means I am FREE. Whatever situations may come if I am peaceful and calm, that is Freedom in the true sense. Freedom is a very relative term, for some just going around without being answerable to any one is Freedom.
When we are free from our thoughts that is what gives inner peace. Liberation is more powerful than freedom. It helps us experience life as it is happening, right now.
The place we live in sometimes does not have community gatherings due to the nature and surroundings. But I still try to help the people whenever I come to know about it. It may be in kind or money form. One thing I have realized is that today listening to someone is the biggest contribution. Never know it may save a life.
My contribution towards any relationship is the availability of my time and presence.
Nobody in this world is forever busy. People who say that either have inflated egos or you are not on their important list. But then the same people want you to respond immediately in their hour of need.
It is has been long long time since I went camping.
But todays prompt brought back all those beautiful moments back. Once we had stayed in a place called Bhadarwah in J&K state, India for a month. Our club organised 5 days trekking for school children from Jammu. And this place was the base camp.
Surrounded by mountains and lush green meadows, it was one of the best places I had the fortune to enjoy
What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why?
Every place has it’s goods and bads. Experiences are meant to be lived and then move on. I would say I would love to be in every and any place which has my kind of weather.
Every creation is unique on the planet. And we as humans are unique because of our intellect. Then as a person everyone is unique because of our physical appearances and our behavior patterns. Being Multidimensional and evolving with changing time are few of aspects which makes people unique.
As I started my career with IT it has not changed anything as such. Since then I have varied experiences in other field. It has enhanced my work, with faster communication and wider reach. I can say that it has not affected me adversely.
Balance has to be there to take advantage of the Tech. in the todays world.
I had an experience today which I would like to share here. The way we communicate has slowly and steadly changed, atleast in last decade. It is more on messaging apps and mails then on personal level. Earlier we could judge by the tone of the person on the othet side of phone, how the things are or what type of person we are dealing with. But with the messaging become the standard norm, it may be difficult now. Especially when you are going to connect with a person first time
Today I realized that slowly our mind may have adopted to this shift. I got a WhatsApp message from someone a couple of days back wanting to talk. I agreed. Today again got message. While reading it , I got an impression of being ordered. It was more of what was missing rather than what was there. I decided not to go further. Then someone else messaged from the same place wanting the same info. I fixed up the time for the meeting, despite thinking of saying no earlier.
What changed my mind ? The formation of the message. One was bland and the othet was warm and respectful. Without our knowledge, our thought process changed how we decide things.
Moral of the story : Be mindful while communicating through messaging, especially for the first time. Remember “First impression is the last impression ” Most of the time.
