Trading Life

 Alan De Botton, contemporary philosopher from UK, mentions that each of us have some innate "liking" and which Martin Seligman (Father of Positive Psychology) calls as "Signature Strength". Both these thinkers encourage people to dial-in hobbies everyday and feel bliss.

In fact, it is our sincere belief that if each of us spend just 10 minutes everyday in thought/feeling/action around our hobbies/signature strengths, in about a couple of months...a super transformation happens in our personality and would help us to make this country into a Super Power.

"Hobby leads Super Mental Conditioning leads Super Decisions+Super Stress Management leads Super Outcomes leads India Super Power 2020"

Here is a short poem that happened to me last evening {in Hindi first and then English description}:


Din ke dar par, Raat ke dahleej par,
Kuch Saaman dhoond rahein hain,
Thaila maila huye jaa rahaa,
Dukaan badal rahein hain.

On the doors of the day and the threshold of the night, we constantly seek some goods, Bags just gathering dirt, we busy chasing-changing shops.

Jo Paaye uski sudh chup hai,
Jo nahin, uski budh haavi,
Thaila Maila huey jaa rahaa,
Kinaarey se hardam door Naavi.

That we have...doesn't know us, That we don't...is our obsess, Bags just gathering dirt, Shores ever eluding the Sailor.

Is khel ka naam hod hai,
Iski Tuk abhi kisi ne naa jaani,
Thaila Maila huey jaa rahaa,
kya pehchaane khud ko, jab tab ho hairaani.
this game is called "keep-up", logic of which is unknown, Bags just gathering dirt, No way to know self... always in wonder & wander

Yeh Thaila ek din roothega,
Uss din yeh tootega, mitti ho jayega,
Ab kya maila hoga thaila,
Saara Baazaar hi Uutth Jaayega.

This Bag will turn face one day, it will break down ... dissolve in dust, What ways will Bag now get dirty, this trade will vanish forever.
Ek raasta hai, Gar Raahi aise baney,
Akele chod, Sabhi humraahi banein,
Ab Kya Maila Hoga Thaila,
Bikri ki fikri na hogi, Jab fitrat apni muskaan banein.
One way though...if we become, Make alone lonely and "us together" be journey, what ways will bag now get dirty, trade is not on mind and smile comes natural.

Shabd jod-tod hoshiyaari kar... khoon naa jalaayein naa bahaayein,
Iskey kosh aur koshish se hardam Eid, Holi, Diwali ho,
Ab kya maila hoga thaila,
Jung par jab jung lagein aur Aman ka paimaana ho.

word shed their sWord...wound no mind no body, its treasure and act rings festive, what ways will bag now get dirty, with warheads rusting...peace abodes abundance.

Encounter: Jingle-raaj and Jungle-raaj.

Encounter: Jingle-raaj and Jungle-raaj.  Summary: There is the Black Lives Matter Movement sparked by murder. There is close-home Gangster-Encounter. And in some sense, all of us are involved in daily murders or encounters. At individual level. At inter-personal level. At inter-group level. And that is getting played out in heinous ways sometimes and we feel shocked. Thats because of our own blindspots and our own treadmills. Time for Justice 2.0  Discretion and Weaponization  aren't strange bed-fellows. Some theorists in evolution, civilization, governance, organization structure and development and more would argue its need in society. And they would cite the inextricable need for going beyond process (the very "bureaucracy" that renders many a project ineffective or stalls innovation or "whatever it takes" scenarios). However, what one can surely argue is "is there an adaptive form of discretion and maladaptive forms of discretion?". How can one di...

The William Forrester & Jamal Wallace in You

Image
A genius kid from low rung meets a prize winning recluse and both transform each other. Sixteen year old Jamal Wallace (Rob Brown) gets an opportunity in a prestigious private school. School's hope pinned high on his basketball ability and not so much in anything else, Jamal accidentally encounters William Forrester (Sean Connery).  Forrester's tragedies in life rips him away from his success (Pulitzer Prize).In course of tutelage to deserving Jamal, Forrester gradually and accidentally kindles his own life. Jamal's talent (for writing) shines and how !!! "Awareness" is the proverbial Jamal here in each of us. It is at the low rung of our priorities and importance. We believe that everything else that awareness is able to do for us, our thinking-feeling-saying-doing, is more worthy of cultivation.  Epiphanies and deep longings and timeless wisdom are the proverbial Forresters in us. Once or few times, having had the grand success of tasting dee...

you are being drafted into a war. you don't even know it .even leaders don't ....

Image
Time and again, us humans have been at war. We certainly do not go to war because one or both or multiple sides feels over-arching abundance.  We go to war because of reasons deeply rooted in lack or scarcity or the anticipation of it . These "lack" or "scarcity" are deeply entrenched in individuals and or groups. This write-up sets out to answer the following questions: How was one drafted into wars in the past? What is the war now? How are you Asymptomatic Carriers of Warlords, thus drafted in the war  already? How can you fight it better or cut-down your participation? And these can enable you into "situational leadership" position if you chose to.  https://www.wearethemighty.com/articles/vietnam-draft-dodger   How was one drafted into wars in the past? What is drafting? When a community and or its organizing body or institution went for a war, there was either what is called voluntary participation for fight...
