sunset view today

Saw sunset today like many other days - it was absolutely beautiful - sun's rays streamed and painted a myriad of colours and hues -and the few dark and white clouds enhanced the beauty of sunset against the backdrop of blue sky with the half moon smiling as if at the painting. The white clouds looked ethreal with the sun rays behind them; the red sun that was sinking into the horizon was even more splendid if that was possible
this scene set me thinking .. was this created "by" someone or are these are just events that are done and there is no doer as some great masters have said? And doesn't it apply to all of us i.e. it seems that we do deeds when actually deeds get done through us just like electricity is expressed as light or fan or refrigerator !

These scenes of natural beauty actually give birth to a lot of inspired display of talents- poems are written, songs are composed,paintings are drawn,great Romances come into being - In short masterpieces are created. Imagine how great and talented the Real Creator is who painted the sunset on the sky's canvas. He must be so sensitive and perceptive and must be having a very keen eye for beauty and taste to create a masterpiece of this magnitude. It is really a humbling thought

Actually your description of the sunset set my imagination racing. The sun may have a resembled a radiant bride whose face is partially covered by a veil (the clouds) . No wonder the ethereal look.

  Musings on having good life Life covers all aspects of our being and each part mentioned below would have impact and be impacted by other aspects of life. So it would be fitting that we look at all these components in an integrated fashion. Also no doubt some aspects are more important which doesn't meant that others can be given lesser importance. At any point of time if we feel too lazy to do something, just go back to its objective which will give motivation. Life’s Goal: Regularly note down and review life’s goal. Such goal may change over period of time. Breakup life’s goal into short term/medium term and long term goals. Constantly monitor desired goals vs activities that one is involved. Gap in such goals lead to unhappy life Physical Health: Regular exercise is key to being healthy. Even few minutes every day is much better than exercising once in a while. Physical exercise could cover aerobics, yoga including Pranayama and weight bearing exerci

on Corruption

what is corruption? it is after all a method of getting ahead i.e ahead of others by paying for it - the problem is we define corruption too narrowly and in money specific terms - now let me give examples of action that we do not consider corruption and then may be we could realise that we can take it as natural and go on from there and not get stuck to the concept of corruption Are all these corruption? 1. we jump queues regularly be it at shopping mall, offices, railway station - 2. we (across the world) regularly pay tips to waiters and support staff - 3.  we jump traffic by creating a third or fourth lane and getting in front of other vehicles -specially happens in counties with huge population that drive on road 4. we (across the world) create laws that favour us and stop/delay other countries or organisation from generating profits or getting in? by this act, the "in" countries/organisations continue to get money while the others are effectively

I was  recently watching a movie viz Bahubali and there were couple of incidents which would help in exploring values. First one involved a situation where one of the leaders had to choose between wining and saving some one's life. Winning meant being selected as Yuvraj, the next heir apparent to a large kingdom (among the largest in the country). While saving some people's life (In today's context taking care of one's team )was the duty of any King, so was wining a fight against the kingdom's enemies key as otherwise there would no kingdom to rule. Second incident involved an equally difficult situation. One of the leader (A) and who was selected as Yuvraj had given commitment to his lover (D) that he would take care of her under any circumstance.  With this commitment, A took "D" to his kingdom. A's aunt who happened to be Rajmata till the children came of age had given commitment to her son (B) that "D" will be married to B as she was u
