Lessons from Nature

This picture-perfect scenery valley must be located amidst the Himalayan range. The smooth flowing river streaming between a pack of mountains and green land on the other side dispels a positive feeling that the duration of living beings which is measured in 'years' will also pass by just like the river. But we must strive to benefit others in society. Just the way the river quenches the thirst of a thirsty person, we must also share our best practices, experiences, resources with the needy. The green grass growing on the riverside dedicates its life to the cattle who graze the fresh, dew dropped grass for the nutrition of their body and the milk extracted by the generous cows.

The beautiful strong trees standing tall, heaven anigh renounce their life by shedding the fruits for the mankind, various species of birds who not only fill their bellies but also their young and loved ones. The humans must also adapt a lesson from trees, whatever success, height one may have reached, one must not neglect the left out classes of people to help them improve their living standards.

The spotted full moon which is partially covered with thick clouds about to burst themselves and emanate the required rain is discharging from the soothing temperature on the earth. Although, the moon receives its energy from the dazzling sun which is always blazing with hot waves, transforms this heat into soothing rays. Such quality a man must cultivate from the moon. Even after receiving harsh gestures from life/destiny/peers, one must always transform the reaction in a calm and composed manner. This will not only build toleration levels in a human being but also maintain a healthy environment.

The strong mountains laid by nature in the scenic view also convey a strong message to society. One must be as strong as a boulder-like mountain to sustain the situations thrown by life at various stages just the way, mountains sustain scorching heat during summer, battles incessant rains during monsoon, and spine chilling cold during winter. Similarly, a man must develop strength, self-confidence not only to handle the situation but also to overcome it.

A long cherished Dream

Graduation Day is the day that I had dreamt about. I personally never thought I would ever graduate, but here I am. Every single one of us worked so hard to get here. I never thought I would be up here on this day, but dreams do come true. As nervous as I was standing behind the podium, I was also joyful and proud to share my experience with you all. About five years ago in a boutique, I happened to meet my school teacher who is now currently the Principal of Sindhi High School, Hebbal branch – Mrs. Maitreyi Satyadev Ma’am. As we reminisced our good old days, she motivated and encouraged me to take up a graduate program in a field of my choice. I was relatively settled in my career then, with a permanent job in the World's Best Bank’ and 'Best Place to Work' - HSBC with a handsome package. However, as days passed by, my teacher’s meeting that day had given me a lot of food for thought; that meeting was lingering me by giving me sleepless nights about whether I want to ...

A lake connected with a narrow stream

Do you see a narrow stream or a huge lake ahead of you? Sure enough both. Didn't you? This image clearly picturizes both the aspects of life. Its pretty common for a person to go through narrow streams in life where one may not find much space to lounge around happily. The reasons might vary from individual to individual and from one situation to another circumstance. One may face a relationship breakdown and another might be facing financial crisis whereas the third may be facing a shattered career. But this certainly doesn't mean that one should give up one's life mid-way suffocating their breath through various means. One must try to accommodate themselves to the situation or circumstance and try squeezing through this passage. However, there would certainly be a positive reflection (the way reflection is falling on the lake) on our life awaiting for us with open arms. With a little push from our end, a gentle pull by our well wishers with a little amou...

Is Atmanirbhar really possible?

One of the many lessons what the Sanatana Dharma educates us is to remain ‘ Swabalambi ’ – self-sufficient and being ‘Atmanirbhar’ – self-dependent. Today when our nation is battling to recover our economy through various ways as a lockdown was imposed due to the incursion of COVID – 19, it is time we rotate our wallet’s flow towards the local vendors, manufacturers, artisans, handloom weavers and many more domestic traders. We as citizens of this nation can revive the economy in very simple ways. Buy Swadesi Products from indigenous dealers: We have fed the foreign companies enough for them to feed their next few generations without struggling much. But are our domestic firms strong enough to sustain this kind of economic slowdown? Owing to the lockdown and invasion of foreign retailers, many businesses have wound up their business and are looking for alternatives. Being a socially responsible citizen, it is our duty to help, motivate and encourage local businesses and help them...
