Should we get weird about getting older....



This blog is not for those who keeps an extraordinary aversion to ageing. Respect ageing.... Respect aged people.


Age is just a concept that humans created. That's why some are old at 20's & some are young even at 90's. We have never seen old age in Mother Teresa... what we have seen is only peace and wisdom. We have never seen old age in Capt. Harland Sanders... but always we have seen passion with a positive attitude (Remember, Capt. Sanders started KFC when he was 62)

The right attitude should be to see " old age is always twenty years older than I am ". Remember, a man growing old becomes a child again... People who are older, behaves as same as children. They pay less attention to what others say. They just watch what they do. You are turning out to be a good observer & a better listener, the 2 good qualities most of us miss when we were young.  The behavioral study proves that life is all about knowing, suspecting & believing. It's the young which knows everything, it's the middle age which suspects everything & it's the old, which knows & believes everything while keeping no room for suspicion. What a wonderful time to have !!!!



Still some worry about getting old. Some are unable to face this reality in life. They visualize old age as a period of dotage. Some are worried about loosing their looks & curves. A study in US shows that there are 41% of women over the age 65 are using clinics. Are they trying to get rid of this ageing. Please understand age is not a disease to be cured or eradicated. What we can do is " practice to grow old gracefully"

How can we do this?
  • First & foremost is to accept the fact that growing old is mandatory. You don't have any control on this. But remember growing up is optional.. where you have full control. 
  • Wisely use your maturity & experience gained over the years, to overcome the dotage
  • Never think about fear and regrets. You are so seasoned & you know both as stupids.
  • Understand growing old is a privilege denied to many. Rejoice it
  • Remember, positive attitude can overcome anything. People with positive attitude continue to stay healthier & longer. 

Grow up ..... stay YOUNG....

9 Minutes for Better LIFE

No one is given a bad LIFE or good LIFE. Everyone is given a life. It’s up to us to make it good or bad. Here are 9 tips which will make your LIFE BETTER Be yourself:  Be yourself…everyone else is taken. There was a show in New York & the objective is to imitate & act like Charlie Chaplin. Even the great Chaplin participated. There were 400 participants dressed up like Chaplin. To his shock & horror, he came 7 th position. He writes in one of his book “we live in a world where showmen succeed & real men failed”. For a moment, I was confused whether I was the real Charlie Chaplin or the 6 ones before me. Though they could match my style, look & moves, none of them could match my mind & attitude. I still love to loose on such occasions where I know I am the real champion. Now I understood that more than my style & moves, my mind & attitude gives me the real identity. Quoting Steve Jobs; this life is short, so don’t waste it living someone’s life.

The deliverance of the "MIND"

Hi friends…  We all know that the Body, Mind, Emotions & Energy are the four wheels which drives our LIFE. Today I am talking about mind...how good, bad, ugly & powerful it is. There is nothing like good mind or bad mind… There are only established minds & un-established minds.  What is an established mind: Let’s try a simple experiment. Close your eyes & do not think of a monkey for the next 10 seconds. Give it a try. Can you do it… your mind is full of monkey’s. Means your mind is not doing what you want it to do. This not your problem alone, the whole world is suffering due to this. If you have an established mind, the mind will take instructions from you & in turn it also organises  the other 3 dimensions of your system, the body, emotions & energies. In other words, in established minds, the actions are based on conscious state of activity. That’s why in yoga, the established mind is referred as Kalpavriksha , which is a wish fulfilling tree….mean

Not everyone smiles at you is your FRIEND !!!

“Pretending to be loyal” is an art, which few people around us have mastered over the years.  Such person never criticizes you ... but always motivates you to open up.  They know how to grab information’s from you. By showing too much of concerns, they make you feel comfortable & won’t leave till you indiscreet something, which actually should have been remained private or confidential. Those who are highly susceptible in both actions & emotions normally fall preys to such people. In return, they often provide you with ideas which are either bizarre or just pie in the sky. They stab you from your back & innocently ask why you are bleeding. These people won’t get satisfied until they sabotage someone else’s happiness. They won’t sleep until they wreck someone’s dreams.   Whom you trust and tell your problems to? OR whom you confide to? Might look less intricate but for proper understanding & analyzing, it certainly requires an intellect which is a level up. N
