A miracle in name of Chinnamma

WeddingImage via Wikipedia
She is 34. She looks like 54. You cannot get thinner than her. She is bare bones. She is household help. We mostly call her "काम वाली बाई "or "अम्मा " or "Aunty".
She works in an apartment complex and lives nearby in a small house. She has raised two kids and helped them with education. Now they are young adults on verge of employment.
She does work in three houses. She takes care of one of the house for the whole day. She has been doing it for the last three-four years.
She has work ethics, is honest, does not demand a pay hike nor better working condition. She does not complaint about excess workload. She does her work, efficiently and regularly, everyday of her life. She simple takes what is given. She does not expect more, nor in words nor through indirect actions.
She will come to your house at 8, 10, 12 and 18:00 to check if you are there in case you go out anywhere during the day.
She is a true believer and has complete faith in God. A complete कर्मयोगिन. Her only sentence in adversity and when cornered is "He is seeing everything. He will take care of everything."
She had to leave her house in the village somewhere in chittoor, Andhra Pradesh. Her husband brought another lady twenty years after her marriage and two kids. He and her in-laws harrassed her for twenty years of her youth. She was twelve when she got married.
She studied till PUC which is 10+2 when she was with her parents. Her childhood was in a farmers family. They  had many acres of land. Her father gave 20 hectares of land and hundreds of grams of gold as dowry in her marriage.
She came to Bangalore straight out of her village for the first time with her kids. She has created a living through her honesty and perseverance. She has the will to live and strength to survive. She has honored the life bestowed onto her with a stable and steadfast value system.
She does not need a corporate training on soft skills nor she needs a plaque put across her desktop proclaiming the value system of her organization. Reminded through several emails from top-middle-lower management about the organizations ideal.
She is a living legend and she works in your household.

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...

Shivani, Brahmakumaries and Aastha channel

She comes twice on TV from 7:10 PM to 7:40 PM and 10:30 to 11:00 PM on Aastha channel. The spiritual channel story in India is on same lines as that of Aaj Tak , which was run by local ads before the big boys put ads on them. Today Shivani, a Brahmakumari mentioned that 99% of the cause of anger and frustration is elsewhere, it is not in the spur of the moment, when you hurt somebody or get hurt by somebody. Instead of reacting instantaneously , or pestering the reaction in the mind post the incident till eternity , can you wonder "Why is that soul so angry, what is bothering her? I am sure there is something more than what she has told me now?". The chain of thoughts that emerge lead you to compassion, releases love vibrations into the air. Love has a very subtle medium to reach out. You cannot yell and throw around love and claim that you are helping somebody by your love. You have to surrender to love and let love take over. You cannot correct the world. You can onl...

fix for tweetmeme button on blogger

This was the second time when I was pained to locate a proper place to place the tweetmeme buton in blogger. The tutorial has suggested keeping it between b:loop values = 'data:posts' var = 'post'> and ‘b:loop’. Also there are two such places where you can place the code. If you place in lower one then it will appear only if ads appear in your blog. The above has not worked for me and I am not sure about you, do you Meme?. I searched for a place near the spans at end of post and put it above the below line " <p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> And it seems to work. You can meme below and retweet and check for yourself. Have you been struggling with button placement in blogger?
