Part of a Cleanliness Drive

I have been a part of a NGO named as Youth For Parivarthan!! Recently we had a Cleanliness Drive organised in Bangalore on Occasion of Gandhi Jayanthi. Our honorable PM launched Swach Bharath Campaign too on the same day. We were there by 8.30 in the morning. The walls and the surrounding area was very dirty. We cleaned the ugly footpath of the waste. We removed all those posters put up on the wall and then painted the wall red in colour with some flower stencils. I must say it looks quite good from the state it was in before. The feeling you get from doing such work is something i cannot express. It's fun too. I must say i met some new and nice people too. Overall just a perfect start to an awesome day. Just to mention This NGO has been doing works such as this since a few months. This was the 7th Drive we took out. So just a small request to all, Please stop littering. Most of all Stop being a SPIT-personality!! 

This has to be EPIC!!

A Month back i was travelling with my friend in BMTC [ Local Transit of Bangalore]. My friend bought a ticket and i had a pass. Everything was normal till then. My friend handed over rupees 20 for the ticket. The price of the ticket was 17 or 18 ( oops... i don't remember). Generally the conductors if they do not have the change , they write the amount on the back of the ticket and pay back later but this time it was EPIC. This conductor had some toffees in his pocket. He gave my friend 2 toffees in return. Yep the value of the toffees was equal to exact change value the conductor had to give. I was surprised and just exchanged a smile with the conductor. Till That day i had seen people giving a toffee instead of 1 rupee as change but that was in some small stalls. That day was the first time i ever saw a bus conductor do it. Now i get it why people say that it's time that the Indian government Declares Eclairs as the new one rupee!! 

"3 Magical Words"

You may be thinking what are these 3 magical words right??

Let me make it clear to you, it's not 'I love you'. 

It's 'Please' , 'Sorry' and 'Thank You'.

These words are truly magical. A humble sorry can stop fights and disputes and grudges. A Thank you is a sign of gratitude. Just imagine the smile on the person's face whom you thank. He/She will be ready to help you out again because of this attitude. 

Please can be the best word to request someone for their time or help in a task. It automatically melts the other person's heart to help the needy. 

People who constantly use this magic words have a happy life without conflicts,tensions, enemity etc. But people who use it rarely tend to have rough relationships. They cannot mingle easily. It's not easy even to adjust to a situation. 

A Please is very pleasing to the ear and people will recognise that you need help.

A Sorry is an act of true repentance and people will forgive you for your mistakes.

A Thank you is the best sign of gratitude and people will be ready to help you again.

Thus Be a Magician daily and use this magic words!! Sure will change the way people treat you!!

Change!!

Hello Guys!!

Today i would like to tell about Change. On taking my personal experience Change is very very hard. It takes us out of our comfort zone, drags us to our limits and finally unleashes our potential but hey we never see so far. We just resist change as it manipulates us into something else..... Something else which is better but we tend to ignore it. People say that "CHANGE is the only Thing CONSTANT in this world". It's time we change. It's time we patiently change from bad to good, from rude to pleasant , from sad to happy , from lazy to Active , from tears to happiness , from doing tomorrow to doing today ,from enemy to friend, and thus undergo a transformation from Normal to EXTRAORDINARY!! 

There is a technique i've heard of - Do the thing continuously and consistently for 21 days in a stretch and then that Change will become a habit for you!! It's possible if you wanna le it happen!!

Smile

People tell me that i smile often and it's good right? I wondered if it was anything special?? But then when i gave a close look to this aspect , Yes it's a great deal. I see many people always frustrated and in tension and well if you come in front of them on their bad day they remove all that frustration on you . Isn't it a sad life without a smile? I live to smile and to make others smile. Why are people so stressed ?? I've heard few lines go around like 'This man's forgotten to smile' or 'How long it's been since you smiled?' etc. I understand we live a life where we have problems but hey just think we have our friends and family too, yep there is always a point to cheer up in life!! Start Smiling if you've stopped and continue the good work of spreading it. Give yourself a pat if you made someone smile today.

Michami Dukkadam

I am a Jain. We had this 8 day holy festival called Paryushan. These 8 days we repent for all our bad deeds and karma. On the last day known as samvatsari day we seek forgiveness from all. It's our humble way of asking forgiveness (michami dukkadam) to all the beings on earth. We may have intentionally or igorantly hurt any soul thus for that mistake of ours we plead guilty and seek for forgiveness. This is a very good act which i like cause all our egos get diminished and we seek forgiveness from our hearts!!

Michami Dukkadam to all.

 You will never become inferior in asking for forgiveness!! :D

Lessons For Life!!

This i've done it many times and trust me you feel very good after doing this.
I've been travelling in public transport since my 7th. There are always these senior 

old people who too opt this transport. You must really give credit to them,

Though all Odds are against them they take that tiring jurney with some of them 

carrying luggages too. Once i just got up from my seat and offered it to one 

of them. They were so happy you could just see it on their face. They give you blessings

too. What more do we need? That smile on their face tells it all.
And next time you hop into the bus and they're there they always offer to

carry your baggage while they are sitting. Small deeds Do a lot of stuff.

Work for that small smiles.
Be a reason today for someone to smile. The happiness you get by this deed

cannot be found in anything else.... just true bliss!!
