The Right Association.



           Praying the almighty has always been one thing that I find solace with and lighting incense is habit that I have cultivated since I was a kid.

            It so happened yesterday that I was holding the incense in my hand and was lost in a deep thought, the incense was almost 2 inch away from diya and never really touched the lit up diya. But drafting back into sense I noticed that there was this incense almost in verge of being lit up and it did within next two second.

I was curious and repeated the same thing today making sure I did not touch the incense to the diya, but within a few seconds it got lit up!

It was kind of eureka moment to me. That very well explained this “We ought to be around the right people with right thoughts!”

           It felt like “People” are the fire in the diya, the positive vibes of people are the real warmth that we need, which will elevate our life to a considerable extend if we are around them.

Like the same way the fire in diya which helped the incense light itself up and let it serve its purpose.

But what happens if the people are naysayers? Or the negative ones?

                 That would also be like fire, but not the one that would help us to light up our life, but the fire that would burn us down, which would make us to just fade away without even realizing what was our purpose!

To be lit up with the fire and serve the purpose? Or to just burn down without knowing why?

Or being the fire to someone and help them light their life?

I guess the choice is ours to make.

Wishing Happiness!



               Amidst the Chaos of the books all around me, I long for the time when I get to hit the gym and sweat out. On a lighter note, I am one of the skinniest person I know who needs to seriously put on some weight.

              Emergence of summer is kind of messy everywhere, and like most part of our country, water is the obvious scarce resource and the same is situation in Bangalore too.

         It’s commonly seen around that construction labourer and other daily wagers take out water from normal home pipe for their use.


As I was walking downstairs from my home off to gym, I had noticed a man humming while he was collecting water in his plastic pot. I had parked my Activa beside the tap and as always it was dusty so I had to take out the cleaning cloth and wipe the seats.



             Seeing me in shorts and oversized tee shirts, he just stared at me and started saying “You know what? Things that are needed for all to excel in this world is strength and at the age as yours you need to be strong, wise and happy and he wished me the that i become strong, wise and happy.

            I was pretty amused by the comment and said him that I really thank him for his wishes.

 It really made me happy!

“Anna, what do we lose in wishing people happiness, Everyone should be happy in their life” was what he said as he took his plastic pot and left.
