HELP - a powerful word.

This single word gained my attention at many occasions.
Help means voluntarily lending our hand to a person in need, without showing any sort of difference in our eyes.

Mother Teresa: God doesn't look at how much we do, but with how much love we do it.

We confine ourselves with a small circle of family and friends in rendering our help. Well what about others?
A parent finds out the needs of their children n their beloved parents and tries to satisfy them. If most of us just concentrate on this circle alone, then what about the other people.
I used to blame the nature for its merciless act of destroying the mankind through flood, earthquakes, tsunami,…but when giving a deep thought towards it I get to see it through 2 perspective as.,

Is it our mother nation’s anger shown on us seeing all the heartless activities going on all over?
Or
Is she trying out to bring the attitude to care and help others, whom we don’t know?

We all would remember the day when the whole world was shook by the Gujarat’s earthquake. How many thousands lost their lives, relation, loved ones, hope, and home? Many kind hearted people helped them by giving cash, clothes and food. Relief funds were collected from all over the world. Is it that we need to give up our hand only at situations like this? There are people still struggling for a day’s meal. We still don’t stop our square meal or luxurious life even after hearing this. I am not saying to stop our square meal but be aware that there are people who have not tasted it yet and think about what can be done to them.
How many of us are aware of the number of orphanages that are available in Chennai alone and the numbers of people whose lives are still a question mark. What fault alone they have made to struggle so badly. What good deed alone we have made to enjoy life with the maximum possible comforts.
One question all should ask themselves is that, “Are we really behaving like humans”.
I would define a human as one who is capable to think, help, take care, love and merciful. All are humans by birth but the deeds of us also have to count as a human.

Mother Teresa: There is hunger for ordinary bread, and there is hunger for love, for kindness, for thoughtfulness, and this is the great poverty that makes people suffer so much.
Leo Buscaglia: Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Are all our parents (since I am not earning my own bread now I am mentioning about them here) helping continuously the people in need through money, food or clothes…must be once in a year some (not all) would visit the orphanages and help to their level or at times of natural calamity they would have contributed. It is so because some feel that it’s difficult to run the family itself and wherein to help others, some would have not yet thought about this aspect, some would not have the heart itself to give.

The attitude to help people should be grown right from the childhood. The child should learn how difficult it is to get food and should get to know about how many other people who are suffering for this. This awareness should be spooned with the food. And this would certainly make the child to have the heart to help when attained a position to earn his/her own bread.

BOTTOM LINE:

Let’s not wait for the nature to direct us to help. Lets do it till our life time.

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe: Let everyone sweep in front of his own door and the whole world will be clean.

Albert Schweitzer: In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit

Woman’s holdup!!!

What’s the reason that sets back women mostly? Is it the expression of grief (weeping)?
What so ever negative happens on this earth to a women they bring it out in the form of tears…
Will tears solve the entire problem?
Are not men facing any problem?
Or do they don’t have hearts and hence they don’t feel about it?
Is crying the only way to bring out our expression, the inner feelings masked deep inside the heart and mind?
Are tears a tool to get what we want?

Certainly NOT!!! Tears never solve our problem…
Women are by nature more sensitive than men. They lower their self value by using tears as their weapon. This weapon tends to wipe out them. There is always a battle between the mind and the heart.

The difference between mind and heart is like the surface and the bottom. It is the surface of the heart which is mind, and it is the depth of the mind which is heart. The mind expresses the faculty of thinking, the heart of feeling. [Hazrat Inayat Khan]

The surface of the heart (mind) is known by imagination and thought. Most women take the issues to their heart which lies beneath the mind. The emotions run as currents through the lake of the heart. Those currents stir the depth of the lake and produce ripples on the surface of the lake, the mind. The mind's images are determined by, the heart, but the mind shows only the surface of what is happening in the depth.

When the depression is brought out through tears it results in only weakening the person and reducing the value for which they are feeling. As days pass by the issue that made them shed tear is no longer remembered. To defeat the depression we should never bring it out through tears, rather should hold it deep inside the heart and explode at the right moment.

Sharing My Success cum bitter to Juniors...

Yesterday I had an opportunity to meet my juniors and tell them my experience in campus recruitments, a new procedure started by our department in the motto to benefit our juniors. I am now a final semester student placed in INAUTIX.
I first told them my academic profile.
There were three instances that I highlighted to my juniors.
1. In my second semester I had just passed in a subject, but since I expected more I applied for re-evaluation which brought me 19 more marks.(something that needs attention)
2. Then, in my third semester I got less than the pass boundary and again applied for the same re-evaluation. The result is a pass status
3. Then again in my fifth semester a subject went off. No change after the usual re-evaluation. I had to write the paper again in the next semester.
Leaving out the third blunder and let me consider it as my mistake itself.
How can the first two blunders take place? What will be the answer from the concerned person? How many more students would have got affected by such blunders?
It leaves only depression and a feeling of loneliness'.

The question that was pondering in mind was…
How people can be too careless?
Is this carelessness only here? (No!!! its spread all over… let me talk about it later)
Who only will create awareness?
Still watch all d blunders?
What only is the solution for it?

Many questions like this don’t have answer. What that we can do is just be patient and go along the wind.


BOTTOM LINE:

Falling down is not a crime, not a shame
Getting up with all d guts to face back is what that matters.

Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Do not be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Do not run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been, but also where you are going.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
