Doctor and salesman

It was a routine checkup call for the couple. They found a chair at opposite ends with an LCD that was wall mounted on wall. They were glued to the people in the songs doing all sort of suggestive steps with beautiful scenary in the backdrop. I always wished to remove the enactors and only woonder at the natural beauty behind. 
The place had more people with ties and huge leather bag full of assortments, I did not know what. He guessed they would be salesman. They kept pouring in and once in a while one of them will peep inside the half ajar doors of doctor who were supposedly treating the patients. There are more tests than treatments these days. Maybe these sales guys have something to do with that. 
A senior guy of them came around and was cheering them up and suddenly get into face of one of them "Did you check him? , Did you check that doctor?". I did not hear words but they were loud in gesture. 
The doctor was in OT and one of her assistant was asking all sorts of questions and the couple was tired of waiting first for the assistant and then for the doctor. The guy tried to make faces and make her laugh but she was more eager to hear her name called by attendent and almost jumped out of her seat a few times. 
How is your experience in privately owned hospitals in India these days?

Success is exchange of energy

The definition of success is very elusive. It means different things in different phases of life to different people. When I was in school and college it was to pass somehow. When I was in 12th it was to get into engineering somehow. When I was in job it was to make more money anyhow. When you were in marriage it was to demand happiness and feel proud in pronouncing to yourself that every act of a frustrating job was for the sake of family and their well being. I was focusing on doing. I was focusing on achievement. So whenever I reflected back in life I always felt less. I could have been an IITian, I could not crack CAT. I could not join an organization during their early stock offer days. I could not go to US and earn in dollars. I simply missed doing too many things.  Now I feel lack of achievement. Now I feel lack of doing. Did I miss out on something while I was undergoing all this doing? Why was I nervous all this while? Why did one achievement led to other? Why...

तुम दीन नहीं हो - live ashtavakra commentary by Sri Sri Ravishankar ji

तुम वही हो. तुम सूर्य कि किरण नहीं, तुम उस किरण का विस्तार हो. तुम सूर्य हो.  जिस प्रकार सूर्ये अपनी किरणों को हर खिड़की के माध्यम से हर घर मैं भेजता है, उसी प्रकार परमात्मा अपनी पूर्णता को छोटी छोटी आत्मायों मैं भेजता है.  यह बात दूसरी है कि जब आत्मा अपने पुर मैं वास करने लगती है, अपने शरीर रुपी घर मैं रहने  लगती है तो भूल जाती है कि वह सिमित नहीं है, उसका विस्तार ही परमात्मा है.  लेकिन घर मैं घुसने के बाद आप कांच के टुकड़े मैं सूर्य का प्रतिबिम्ब देखते हो ओर अपने आप को सिर्फ एक किरण मात्र समझने लगते हो. जरा बाहर झाँक कर भी देखो, सूर्य का अनुभव तो करो. तुम्हारे आस पास भी वही सूर्य का अंश है. तुम्हारे पड़ोस मैं भी वही सूर्य कि किरण है, तुम्हारे गाँव मैं जो रिश्तेदार हैं वहां भी वही सूर्ये है. सूर्य कोई भेद भाव नहीं करता. तुम क्यूं ऊँच- नींच मैं पड़े हो.  तुम्हारे दुःख का कारण  क्या है. तुम गुरु से तो मिले हो. तुमने गुरु को साक्षात् किया है. लेकिन तुम संपूर्णतः यह निश्चय नहीं कर पाए हो कि येही सत्य है. पूरे भरोसे कि कमी होने से ही दुःख होता है....

second day at school

The stomach did pain again and bu now she had learnt the art of unbuckling the belt. Fortunately the pain came up just as her father was opening the door. The mother came rushing and wanted to help but the strict father wanted her child to master the art of releasing the belt and walk the distance towards potty on her own. The child did not disappoint and fulfilled the fathers desire in aplomb. to school. They went to the car together. Poor father carrying the bag full of books and the daughter carrying the empty bag as they were hopeful that something would come back in it from school. As they were moving out of their apartment complex the father eyes turned to the side and saw a lady with more than usual broad smile. He wanted to be the good man and stopped the car. He was sliding down the side window and almost opened his mouth then he heard " Are you going to school? ". " Ofcourse, I was with my daughter in the back seat. Where else could I be heading? " The fat...
