Visions !!!!!

            People spare a huge amount of in buying cameras, camcorders, SLRs etc. Why do we do so? Is it to capture the  moments we are spending, to reminisce them. Perhaps it may be so. But which one would you support: visions or SLRs.

            Visions are the scenes that virtually play in front of your closed eyes. Just close your eyes, imagine yourself  in a field, full of greenery around. A range of mountains in front of you, though far away. Above these mountains you can see the transparent clouds kissing the peaks of the mountains, passing by with its snail's pace. A cool breeze around you, softly touching your arms, your body, blowing your hair. The leaves and the branches of the trees around you, dancing with the wind as if she's dancing with the love of her life on the romantic sound( the hustle of the wind). You open your footwear, feel the soft grass below your feet, which is still wet because of the early morning dew. You raise hands horizontally, feel the breeze fragrance, go a few steps forward, start humming a soft romantic song... How would you feel? You actually feel elated.  

              There lies the difference between your camcorders and the visions. You prefer watching your past videos and snaps in a 52 " T.V set, but will you be having the same feeling as the vision I stated above? Not at all. When you see these scenes in those gadgets, you simply watch it, but when you are actually visualize it, you start feeling the situation, enjoying it, reminiscing it. 

                Even if you are thinking about future, you see snaps of some tourist places, you wish to go there. But what if you start imagining the places. For example, you think of Bora Bora. You must have heard many things about the place. The lagoons, the long stretched ocean, the romantic suites located just above the water body, cliff on one side etc. You start imagining yourself landing on the Tahiti Islands, a view from the 30000 feet height. You start feeling the clouds below you slowly disappearing, and the faint borders of the Pacific being gradually visible, from faint to deep, with the bluish green color of the vast ocean getting prominent. You start feeling excited. Slowly the wheels of your flight touch the runway and you start departing the airport, eagerly waiting to get a view of the coastline, which you have been imagining so far. Slowly you progress towards the coastline. You can now see the silent water body, feel the fragrance of it.You are taken to the reception of the resort, hosts over there take you to the cottage. You hold the hands of your partner, feel every steps of your walk over the wooden bridge, the light blue water below you above the silky white sand. You enter the cottage, located over the water body, with an exquisite decoration. The balcony outside your cottage has a pair of chair with a tea table, and most importantly a flight of stairs down to the water. You stand in the balcony with the water beneath you, a clear sky above you and a cliff in front of you, holding your partner's hands. WOW!!! An awestruck feeling!!! I have never been to Bora Bora, but this vision of mine not only wishes but urges me to give a visit to the place.

                  Thus whichever recordings you see of a place, or a situation, or a occasion, you can enjoy it to the fullest only when you have the "VISION"....

Red & Green !!!!!

Red and green: What comes to your mind in the first place on hearing this? Is it the color red and green, or is the color of traffic signals, or is it the two adverse i.e blood & greenery? It may actually be any of them.

When you set your mind free from all constraints , all boundaries, all restrictions of life, mentally, your mind becomes a free bird to imagine all sorts of possibilities. Probably today you can give a try to this relaxation. Lets start with the interpretations that can be made from RED & GREEN.....

1) The members of the family of spectrum VIBGYOR....

RED: Red is any of a number of similar colors evoked by light consisting predominantly of the longest wavelengths discernible by the human eye, in the wavelength range of roughly 630–740 nm. A main theory for why primates developed sensitivity to red is that it allowed ripe fruit to be distinguished from unripe fruit and inedible vegetation.

GREEN: Green is a color, the perception of which is evoked by light having a spectrum dominated by energy with a wavelength of roughly 520–570nanometers. In the subtractive color system, it is not a primary color, but is created out of a mixture of yellow and blue, or yellow and cyan; it is considered one of the additive primary colors.

2) The materialistic form of color:

RED: The color of blood. The Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which is a pigment that contains iron and helps transport oxygen and gives blood its red color. Blood gives life to everyone. None of the human beings would have survived in this world if blood circulation would have been non existent. Red also denotes the color of Love & heart.

GREEN: The color of plants, greenery all around.The green color in plants come from chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is used to capture light energy from the sun, and that energy is used to power the process of photosynthesis.  Plants give out oxygen, which is in turn used by humans to breathe. 

3) The color of traffic light:

RED: The red color of traffic light indicates STOP. 

GREEN: The green color of traffic light gives a green signal to the pedestrians or vehicles to go ahead.            

4) The color of personalities:

RED:  The following are the characteristics of people with red personality type:

                             Speech patterns- Fast & Loud.

                             Attitude- Aggressive & Direct

                             Appearance- Formal, classy & Flashy

                             Priorities- Winning

                             Weakness- Very self centered & egotistical

                              Strengths- Fearless, goal oriented & natural born leaders.

 GREEN: The following are the characteristics of people with red personality type:

                             Speech patterns- Slow & soft.

                             Attitude- Formal , questioning

                             Appearance- Very average, nothing too bright or expensive

                             Priorities- Facts & organization

                             Weakness- Very suspicious & most pessimistic

                              Strengths- Accurate, dependable, efficient & prompt.

So the above mentioned were the interpretations I could make, now its your turn to pour down your interpretations. So set the bird in your mind free and proceed further.............

Where and how do you find happiness???

Life is never a bed of roses. One faces all sorts of ups and downs in life. How does it change the course of life? In fact does it change the course of life? Yes, it does change you, your activities, your emotions and your life as a whole. 

From the very childhood most of us have been pampered immensely by our parents. They try their level best give us all kinds of happiness which we want and deserve. As we keep growing we slowly have the realization of how can we keep ourselves happy. Let it be by buying a gel pen instead of a ball pen also. We keep searching ways of how can we be happy and keep all our surroundings happy at the same time. Then comes a stage when we start finding our happiness in our parents happiness, making them happy who have been a very important part of our life. But is that all we want? Where do we get the ultimate happiness? Is it only by helping our near & dear ones, or is by keeping them happy, or is it by fulfilling our own needs, or is it by doing charity? All ends up in a cluster of unanswered questions. 

Yet, the answer to all these question lies inside you. To define happiness in this manner we may say that happiness is that feeling when you look yourself in the mirror, give a smile and see whether you are having any wrinkles of tension on your face, whether there are any problems to be sorted out. In short, whether you are smiling from your heart or is it just a fake smile to suppress your feeling? If you see yourself in the mirror, smiling from your heart, even with all sorts of problems persisting in your life, that's where the happiness of your life lies. 

Life is never perfect. You can try hard to make perfections in your life and make it trouble free, but can never achieve that. But the real happiness lies when you find something best even from the worst incident in your life. Keep smiling at all phases of life. There is no other go except accepting life with grace. The methods of keeping oneself happy may vary from person to person, but it all depends upon themselves to keep them happy. There's a quote:

 "Smile a while & while you smile, others will smile & soon there will be miles & miles of smile because life is worth only when you smile". 

If you are happy, you'll make others happy. Everything you do, will give you positive reciprocation. The problems of life will give you something very positive out of it. You will start feeling blessed with the life that God gifted you. That's where the ultimate satisfaction lies.

Life as we make it !!!!

Life- how would you define it?? I would define life as a way of finding yourself amidst the world's race. Life is about how you frame it, the way you decorate it. Its all about taking the correct decisions in the right time, and not repenting on what has happened in past or the failures which you have once faced because of your once taken wrong decisions. So Life is actually how we make it.
                     In today's world the meaning of 'life' has actually changed. From happiness it has turned towards aristrocracy. In our elder generations we had seen them earing just to fulfill their basic demands and spending more time with their family, trying to find more happiness in the crew of their loved ones. But now people do earn for fulfilling their basic amenities, but on the other hand they slowly move on towards finding and affording luxuries of all kind. Some people find their happiness in earning Rs 1,00,000 a month and working day and night in for that without spending ample time with their family. Some are happy to earn Rs 50000 a month and spend a considerable time with their family. Whereas some are there who would like to earn only an amount of Rs 25000 and spend ample time with their family and also fulfill their basic demands. So which one would one go for is their choice. It how we perceive life and make it.
                     Now the students who are working upon their career to make it the best. Its the way they look at life, whether they want to be technicians or managers or accountants or doctors.....the list is endless. It completely depends on them how they would make themselves HAPPY and SATISFIED at the end of the day.
                      But is does this logic hold true at all times? Then why do we have fate, destiny etc such parameters in our life? Does life really become the way we really want it to? Or is it a mix of  our decisions based on our fate? So if at the end of the day we got to take our sole decisions based on our fate, then what's the point in thinking of decorating life as we want it?
                      Thus I feel life is all about a mix of our destiny and the decisions we take based upon that further waiting for the results of my decisions. No one is perfect to make all correct decisions in his/her life. So life becomes a mix of all at last...
