Journey

On an another cloudy evening!,
Good evening friends
The travel from one place to another is quite refreshing. Especially on a working day, travelling on leave, it is a big feeling of relief
That too by train is quite a different atmosphere.
We pretend to be decent, clever & beautiful when we are at a new place and with unknown persons. We try our best to attract ourselves with our mannerisms.
(Friends! don't take it serious. just take that 'we' as 'me' alone)
I remember the smile of a baby, who traveled with me for two stations and his/her bye with a smile, the fight with a passenger of open ticket holder for seat, passenger-friendly TTR (Oh! when I search for the abbreviation, I found my mistake) it's TTE and not TTR (Travelling Ticket Examiner), who talked and verified the tickets of the passengers in a friendly manner, the long, unavoidable, painful, sitting travel, change of co-travelers irregularly, the different modulation of a single language within the 400 Kms (Tirupur to Chennai), the different languages in single compartment and the full rush in the Central even on a working day, a sudden change in temperature-heat when entering/reaching Chennai area.

Of all the above, a new word "Idhuvum Kadanthu Pogum" -"This too will pass"

The IPL T20 match in Chepauk Stadium between Kings XI and Chennai Super Kings on a hot day. The business around the match from entry to exit. The money in advertisement, management, security and organizing the match is quite big and no one will lose anything in this business.

With the profit from a match, each and every single member involved in business in relating to the match could spend a month even without any other income or work.

A cup of water (150 to 200ml) costs Rs.10/-, A cup of 7up-Lemon flavor costs Rs.25/-, three Vadais with Chutney costs Rs.50/-.

An hotel in Central Railway station is charging Rs.120/- for a limited South Indian Special meals (Up to me, the excess price is only the special thing in the dish)

Last but not least!
When you plan to travel, be prepared for the unexpected as we do not know everything or we could not read and learn everything. The moment, you are living is real and a good teacher. Better, stick to the basics of our homely liveliness than to get disappointment in the name of curiosity.

If we control our tongue and stomach to the standard daily diet, your purse may be saved-Brain Says
If we close our eyes (not seeing those new things), no chance of opportunity for disappointment-Wisdom Says
Then why should we go, How could we enjoy them without facing- Heart Says

What is the difference between Brain, Wisdom, Heart?- Conscience Says

See you friends
If you have any comments; spend 1 or 2 minutes to register
If you don't have; try to read it for the second time and then travel
If you have 50/50 oscillation, post your travel experience and tips
regards

My diary 27th April

A very good evening friends!
I have got something surprising from my heart diary for today
First, Latest surprise!?!
News: Sachin Tendulkar nominated by the President of India as Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament
The news itself is unbelievable and still doubting to rely on it. If anybody will confirm it, "Yes he is MP now!". I feel happy for him now.
Tweeting comments, conversations going on and blog posts by popular sports ' websites are really embarrassing.
Second,
Who will win today in the match between Delhi and Mumbai?
Next
Have to prepare, to go to Chennai for seeing IPL match between Chennai and Punjab.
And then
Purchased some shorts and pants for my lovely kids. 
....
Find difficult to manage time between work and cricket
.....
Laziness is increasing like a mountain
......
Looking forward to the knock out match on Sunday
.......
Dreaming to see the kids receiving their clothes.

What to do on that day?

How to be on that month?

Where should be on that year?

How are you now?

How did you come here?

I think ,I pretend to become a farmer.
I have not yet started to learn the basic.
At least what is Agriculture? [if I am really interested in Agriculture]
I determine this day, this moment (7.30am), to learn a single new thing about Agriculture. The way of Agriculture, the duration, the maintenance and improvement.


The day is ending with lot of questions unanswered.
Still I am carrying it on.
Thank you for spending time in the recap of my heart diary

Time

Let us pause this topic in this blog with this post, since it turned in similar line to my another blog - Lean,Learn,Lead
The change in the reality would happen when it is a regular, common one for all. To make it clear, Now a days we are adjusting ourselves the in-discipline as common and passing away in our way. This was not like that initially when it was started new.
One more example, I remember the rush to pay bill in Telephone exchanges and the staffs of telephone exchange behaved like the bosses of the public before 10 to 12 years. When BPL Cellular Service was introduced, the popularity of BSNL was slightly reduced. In percentage, it may be around 10%. It was because the BPL too behaved like a royal and concentrated in the higher end public. It was Reliance, which single handedly wiped all of them away with the quote "Mobile for each and every Indian".
Now, there is no rush or queue in telephone exchanges either to pay bill or to purchase connection. 
The change in technology and the minds of businessmen in that field earned respect while the older suffered due to its lack of courtesy.

I trust in myself and the co-passengers of life none other than you, that we could change our mindset and try our best to implement the good things taught to us in our school days. We should be the best role models for our children and in turn they would also do it for the welfare of their kids.

May be our generation got settled or not entitled to do anything on behalf. Our children-the future administrators of this nation, the future citizens, civilians, civil servants, workers, farmers, doctors, engineers, IASs, IPSs would be the honest persons in the world.

Let us hope that the change would come in TIME

Updates

Updates to: Discipline
Yesterday, I went to RTO office and after wishing him, I asked the officer, "For what purpose you asked money-Rs.100!" He was looking shocked and managed himself and answered half heartily "It's like service charge" and continued to ask me "How much You gave me? and take it!". But I refused to take it back from him and said "No sir!, I just want/wish to know the purpose of your demand! and Keep it with you!". And I came out of the office even when he called me back to take money. I just do not want him to escape or relax from his sin/crime by giving back my money to me. But I am feeling somewhat better than 2,3 days before.

Change

Yes it is possible.
But need a generation or two.
What is the need of change here?
Is it corruption demolishing the country from making developments in planning, execution and achievement?
then it should start from us. 
Yes, we are the first corrupter.
How?... Let us see it later!
We are studying about the honesty, principles, truth and other good habits in book. Can you remember how much was in the reality?
We are being taught good things by the culprits.
Forgive me! I do not mean the teachers in person (I respect them); but the society, the environment, the set up of management.
In this case, we, the once students, have not tend to eradicate the differences. And still we are talking about truth and corruption.
Our children have not been given opportunity to flourish genuine would also tend to do the same like us.

Then the whole process would continue in circle.

I hope we don't need the explanation for my sentence, now- We are the first corrupter.

Let us start thinking to implement the good things taught to us. To bring them in practice, so that the coming generation would love us and realize us to be their innovative ancestors.!!!

After all if we can't do it for the goodness of our children now, who will do it for them?

Time...?
What is time!
How did you bind by it?

stay tuned for more updates and clarifications

I AM A BIKER

Really!
I am a biker! I am the safest biker of my own. I do not have any role model for it.

My first, own, two wheeler is HERO HONDA CD-DAWN. I bought it with the finance from HDFC BANK LTD. But now,today I am the proud owner of the vehicle.

I love the vehicle at the most for its credit by brand, passion and above all ,the mileage. It gives me the maximum possible mileage of around 65km in the City and up to 80 Km in the long drive.

The fond of driving my vehicle saw me crossed 8000 Kms in a short span of 6 months. The vehicle never dropped me in my travel at any time, even now. I followed the notifications given by the manufacturer and authorised service points.

I maintained the vehicle up to the standards of the manufacturer. In turn It never bite me with the charges.

Hero Honda became close to me, my family, as we love our vehicle that much. It is now hurting the split of tie up between Hero and Honda, as if happened in our life.

A father is the first living role model to his son and as my father was not interested in Two wheeler, I missed the role model and learnt driving of my own. I heard of my friends' race riding, wheeling their vehicles. I have nothing to comment about it as there is no information about that from the vehicle dealers.

I had an incident- thrown from the bike (Yamaha RX 135) once. The vehicle was my ex-boss's vehicle. When I drove and spoke in mobile (Hands free), I lost the balance and concentration in a steeply rising curve (A curvy raised road with deep cavum in its two sides through out) and the vehicle got down from the road to sand alongside and suddenly I put both the brakes (i do not remember whether simultaneously or any one first) the bike turned 180degrees while thrown and laid down and as so me too.

It was a painful one on that day and even now, I remember, the school boy (7th Standard) who sat on behind me, holding my bag, also been thrown. When I stood I was searching for him, feared to be under the bike. But I was feeling happy even in the pain when the boy called me "Anna (Brother), I am here". He was standing after that Steep Cavum. Then I laughed in relax, when he said I was saved by your bag as he was rolled along with the bag in ground.

That was my last instant I was riding with speaking in mobile.

As I am riding on my bike to home, grounds and places where I want to,

I am a biker.

I am determined to follow certain things while riding in bike
  • to wear helmet while driving it
  • to follow the traffic rules and signals
  • not to talk in mobile while driving
  • to keep the speed limit constant to the green area pointed in the speedometer
  • to start early to reach soon (instead of riding fast)
  • to use rear view mirrors to view rear running vehicles (not our own face)
As I am following the above strictly, I am a genuine biker of my own.

Discipline

IT VARIES WITH PERSONS, SITUATIONS & PLACES
IN SIMPLE, ANYTHING THAT DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE OTHERS, ANYTHING THAT DOES NOT HARM THE OTHERS CAN BE DEFINED AS DISCIPLINE.
SOME ILLUSTRATIONS MAY BRING CLARITY TO IT
YOU ARE INTERESTED IN VISITING TEMPLES, CHURCHES, MOSQUES. THAT'S YOUR PRIVACY. YOU SHOULD NOT FORCE ANYONE EITHER TO VISIT IN ALTERNATE OR NOT TO GO THERE. IN ROAD, SAY FOR EXAMPLE YOU ARE IN A HURRY TO MOVE. BUT SHOULD FOLLOW THE RULES; RESPECT THE FELLOW RIDERS. YOU CANNOT/SHOULD NOT HIT THEM AND GO.
DISCIPLINE LIES IN EVERYTHING;EVERY SINGLE ACTION,THINKING. IT'S OUR DUTY TO KEEP AND FOLLOW.

WHO CAN TALK ABOUT IT?
...THE DISCIPLINE!
A PERSON WHO IS PERFECT CAN TALK ABOUT IT.
THEN..I EVEN COULD NOT TALK ABOUT IT!

YESTERDAY TOO....?
I HAD DONE AN UNDISCIPLINED THING..!
IN RTO OFFICE, TIRUPUR NORTH, TAMIL NADU
FEES FOR RC HP CANCELLATION IS 100+25 ST. BUT THEY ASKED FOR ME TO ENCLOSE A COVER (BLANK) WITH AD, STAMPED FOR RS.25 ALONG WITH THE DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED FOR CANCELLATION OF HP (SUBMITTED ON 17.04.2012). I THINK THAT THEY SHOULD SENT THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS BY REGD. POST WITH AD WITH THE FEES ALREADY RECD.(RS.125). IN PRACTICE, THEY ARE ADVISING TO COME AFTER TWO DAYS IN DIRECT TO COLLECT. YESTERDAY AFTER NOON, I HAD RECEIVED THE RC -HP CANCELLED AFTER GIVING RS.100 (RTO, NORTH, SECTION A3) AS xxxxx (IS IT BRIBE OR ALMS OR THEFT)
TOTAL BRIBE FOR THE STAFFS MAY BE THE REGD. FEES (25) + EMPTY COVER-STAMPED FOR RS.25 (COVER IS READILY AVAILABLE IN THE RTO CAMPUS ITSELF IN A XEROX SHOP FOR RS.35) AND MONEY FROM THE PERSONS IN DIRECT. TOTAL-155 AGAINST GOVT. FEES OF RS.125.
AS A CITIZEN OF INDIA, I SHOULD HAVE ASKED WHY THIS MONEY FOR? AND  STAMPED COVER WITH A/D?. EVEN A THIEF HAS HIS OWN CONSOLATION LIKE THIS.. FEARED THAT I WOULD BE DELAYED TO FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES IN PURPOSE, THE WORK COULD NOT BE FINISHED IN A STRETCH.
BUT IT IS NOT THE RIGHT FACT. I REALIZE TODAY AND SHOULD ASK HIM AT LEAST ONCE FOR WHAT PURPOSE YOU HAVE ASKED THE MONEY?. IT WOULD MAKE HIM THINK BEFORE ASKING THE OTHER. IT IS NOT SURE THAT HE WOULD STOP ASKING. MY PURPOSE TO POST HERE IS THE REQUEST FOR ALL YOU, MY DEAR FRIENDS, AT THIS STAGE OF CORRUPTION AND BRIBERY IN THE COUNTRY, GIVE WHEN THEY ASK TO! BUT AT LEAST ASK ONCE WHY?. IF ,ONLY ONE PERSON, ASKS HE COULD TAKE REVENGE ON HIM. BUT IF EVERY ONE ASKS HE WOULD BE COMPELLED EITHER TO ANSWER OR TO STOP

SINCE TODAY IS SATURDAY, I WOULD ASK HIM ON MONDAY.

BACK TO THE MAIN COLUMN
IT IS NOT A RULE OR LAW THAT A CULPRIT OR THE PELLUCID TO REMAIN ALWAYS SO. I MAY BE A PELLUCID PERSON. BUT WISH TO CHANGE FOR THE GOODNESS OF MYSELF

CHANGE..!
IS IT POSSIBLE
HOW?
WHEN?

stay tuned for updates!

Woke up from deep sleep

It was quite stunning for a while in the morning!
woke up from bed.


Oh God!
I have missed everything which I dreamy about! Reality stunned me hard!


I am a lower middle class family man. The family being the only successful world to me, made all other failures as illusion.

Oh God!
Thankful to you always!, since you gave me opportunity to realize where you are, how you are and now

I want to do it in reply to this world created by you
The best possible try, as of now!


I am stunned by the current crisis in front of me.
  • 10 hours of Power cut every day (The timing of Power cuts are amazing and the TNEB (Tamilnadu Electricity Board) staffs' are so sincere and perfect in such a way that you could know the exact time when power is off. The power off period in our area is Morning 9am to 12pm; 3pm to 6pm; 8pm to 9pm; 11pm to 12am; 2am to 3am & 5am to 6am)
  • Political games between the parties, between the governments (The Central government, in latest, agreed to supply 100MW in the day time from National Grid inspite of several requests from the State government; but in the contrast; Central government is proposing to supply power to PAKISTAN and BANGLADESH around 1000MW at an higher price. I'm unable to understand whether higher profit is important or the poor citizens of India)
  • Political spits between the parties of mis-governance (Lack of Plans / Projects before approving Foreign projects in to the State and left people in darkness)
  • Memory of people (Oh god! this is the main part behind this scenario of Darkness. We don't /never forget to collect freebies (a mere dole of corruption) but don't /never remember how they come and as what; by what!)
  • Who will win today? this movie or that?; he or who?; this team or that? this party or that? (There is any one or two or all of them would be there every day to entertain you)
  • Rate of gold; rise in petrol price; extended delay in supply of gas cylinder
  • Murder in some area; theft in some cities; accident in some states; natural calamities in some region (Oh god! our knowledge is so higher than never before)
  • Award to this person for Achievement, service, help to the suffered, army incursions, piece measures, race issues, corrupting officials, temples and Pujas. There is no way of escape for anybody by any mean. (Additionally I have to blog for thrice..!?)
If we list the problems / face aheads' of day to day life, a single blog would not be enough. This is tooooooooooooooooo much for such a small guy like me to lead life. There are lots of positives and negatives in the issues. I use this opportunity to treat the wounds-the negative side.


It is an art to turn your grievances in to a success but not others'..!


My dream is simple to say; love to live; should work hard for a long period (may need two generations) to bring alive!!!
An self disciplined honest, innocent human being (common for all the genders) would form an honest and innocent family. When every one is so disciplined, honest, innocent, all the families in the Universe would be so and the Universe would term to be a heaven.


Discipline: What does it mean?
                How does it differ?


Let us take a break for now!!!
Stay tuned for the updates
If you have ideas and comments don't hesitate to post
All for the surgical/logical/practical clearance of the topic are welcomed
