Do I seem like a 'PAWN'?


What do you infer from the figure which in the left side? Everyone see it as a pawn which is the least powerful piece in chess. But, do you know the speciality of the pawn? If it moves forward and reaches the other side i.e., 8th rank, it turns into a powerful piece. The most powerful piece is Queen. This tiny pawn conceals its intentions. It portraits itself as the least powerful piece in the initial stages of the game. But its real intention is to become a powerful piece. It shows its real image when no one expects.


"CONCEAL YOUR INTENTIONS"


The above dynamic phrase is one of my favourite phrases. Actually, I took it from the book named "48 laws of power". It is a wonderful book but a bit philosophical. "Conceal your intentions" is one of the 48 laws of power.

This phrase doesn't seem to be an interesting one but a very powerful weapon. Everyone who is so much passionate about their life, career or destiny should own it. Potentially, this creates a virtual barrier around us so that it portraits us an 'UNPREDICTABLE" animal. If anything in the universe is predictable, there is no interest in it. There is a complete absence of curiosity. No more heat, blood pumping, eye brow rising or visibility of hard veins in our body.

My belief regarding this phrase is whether we want to do something good or bad, don't reveal our intentions to anyone. Not all the times but in few crucial occasions, it creates chaos. We can't do what we intent to do. Sometimes, it may leads to criticisms. We people hate critics. These intelligent people (critics) lower our self-esteem and move us to the tail of the queue.

Take an example of a boy. If his girlfriend is so predictable, he will lose his interest on her. Vice versa is also true. If a boy is so predictable, his girlfriend will lose her interest on him. This is not only applicable to a boy and a girl. It is applicable to a manager and a subordinate, a coach and a player etc..,

I'm not saying here that every time we should conceal our intentions. Sometimes in order to nurture our relationship, we have to reveal our intentions. Otherwise, it will create a gap in the relationships. Some of the intentions should be like the treasure which is deep under the ocean not like the garbage floating above the water. People search for that treasure. It creates curiosity among them. They will come for us. 

If we are like the garbage floating in the ocean, it makes the insane people to form a belief or conclusion about us. We have to portrait ourselves us like a puzzle which is unsolvable and make others to burn their heads to solve. Even though we are the garbage, we should be the garbage which is inside the treasure. This makes hard for people to create some conclusions about us so quickly.

Our intention should be a problem not to be the answer for the problems. If we reveal our intention, it makes the game easy for others. We are here to make our others life tuff, aren't we?

Intention is like a rain drop inside the oyster shell. It should be kept safely inside the oyster shell until it turns to a pearl
If we are mad and greedy, we won't get the precious pearl. You people know what do we get?


Note: The concept 'Conceal your intentions' is taken from '48 laws of power' by 'Robert Greene'

To Stay Animated - "Stamina Matters"





Everyone watched the match played by Swiss Tennis Maestro 'Roger' and Indian cricket wall 'Dravid'. Apart from their sensible playing, the important thing which I'm curious or interested about is their "STAMINA". Both of them are really cool. Even after playing for a long time their make-up will not change. There is no new moon when they are in ground. You will always see a full moon.

Take Roger, his energy level while entering the court will be same as that of the energy level while coming out of the court i.e., when the match gets over, he doesn't seem like exhausted. His play doesn't seem like a sinusoidal wave. There are no ups and downs. Always it seems like a direct current graph (straight line-constant). Tennis is the battle of endurance. In a grand slam, a player has to play minimum 3 sets and maximum 5 sets. A player should not go to an excitation state when he wins a set and should not bury himself when he loses a set. He has to be consistent in his attitude, energy level and focus. If there is any fall or rise in any one of these three, he will be under the control of the opponent.

One of my professors gave us the difference between 'a sprint' and 'a marathon'. In a sprint, the person who finishes the race first is the winner but in case of marathon the persons who finish the race are winners. Similarly, our life is not a sprint with only one winner. It's a god damn marathon. We have to sustain the race for prolonged duration until we reach our destiny.

Small victories in our journey are like the energy drink which will be given in between the race. We have to decide how much we are going to taste the drink. If we drink above the limit, it becomes a burden. Sometimes, it makes us walk. It extends the race duration. Spoils our consistency. Here comes the endurance. Unless and until we motivate ourselves, it's really hard to reach our destiny. Stamina really matters to maintain a constant motion.

Since life is a marathon no need to consider or care about the stupid souls who are competing with us. My opinion is to track their performance while you are crossing them or will be crossed by them. Everyone is a winner boss. If the guy who is competing with you buys a Lamborghini Reventon at the age of 35 then you may buy that car at 38 or 39.

I have seen people who had the sinusoidal attitude while running in a marathon. Why do I want to point out someone else? Take me. I had sinusoidal attitude. When someone overtook me, all the energy in my whole body gets consolidated in my legs and I started running fast. I felt good when I was overtaking someone. But, what's the use? After a certain period of time, I felt beat. Then, everything ended in disaster.

Same thing is applicable in our life also. Like all Tom, Dick and Harry say "Have a vision in your life".

Some may argue that why can't we finish the race with high speed without getting exhausted. It's possible, only if you are naturally gifted or have inherent talent.

"Saint Valentine's Day"-- 'WONDERFUL' or 'PITIFUL'


Today is gonna be a fantastic day for the couples. In my 23 years of journey in this lunatic earth, this is the first time I'm thinking about '14th February'. The reason is simple. I'm blogging something regarding Valentine’s Day. 

All telephone lines are busy and I can't even send a damn message to anyone. These love birds are torturing me. Aiyoooooooo!!!!!!!!! Hahaha. This is obvious. This may be a horrible torture for some people who are alone. 'Alone' means not always alone. They will also walk by holding the hands of someone someday. But, this is not a horrible torture for the love birds. Every second delay in reaching his/her loved one's is a pleasure with a wondrous pain. They need this wondrous pain.  These 86400 seconds are like travelling in the roads of heaven for those love birds. They don't want to lose those precious seconds. 

Giving gifts and receiving gifts create some nice feelings. But, the best part is, walking with our loved one's by holding his/her warm hands in a place where no one is there, except the cold gentle breeze. Awesome!!!! this will create some unnamed sensations in the core of our heart. No one can buy it. These are "PRICELESS SENSATIONS". 

The special thing in 'TRUE' love is, for a boy his lover will be the most beautiful girl in the world and for a girl her lover will be the only hero in the world. I don't know why? But, it is true. 

This is the day in which the existing love between the people rejuvenates and also fresh love starts budding between people. This is also the day in which most of the broken hearts get affixed. You people know the reason.

The above events are WONDERFUL events. They are like water flowing in rivers. They are seamless and create pleasant sound. The events that I'm going to talk in the later part are like the waves in the sea. These events are 'PITIFUL' events which are noisy, restless and create numbness.

I don't want to talk about those events today........It is not right to talk about those events on this auspicious day, isn't it?

I respect 'TRUE' Love and 'TRUE' Lovers. 
My opinion is, "Believe in one, love one and live for one"

Shadows that follow you even in dark



Ahhhhhhh....Gotcha!! Last week, one of my friends asked me, Mama, What is FRIENDSHIP? How to identify good friends? As usual and the only thing I know, I smiled at him and said "Boss, don't know". After that, we went for dinner.


When I thought of blogging and searching for a topic, I saw a facebook post. The post was about friendship. It said that there were different kinds of friends such as real friends, facebook friends, time pass friends and etc...I don't remember now. Now, I'm thinking answers for the question "What is friendship?"

Have you noticed your shadow? If not, notice it today. The size of the shadow changes every time and this is mainly because of environmental situations. Due to intensity of light or climate changes and sometimes it disappears due to barriers or darkness. But everything is ILLUSION. The same thing applies to friendship. Sometimes friends are with you and most of the times, they ain't. The intensity of friendship is a fluctuating one. Sometimes it touches the sky and sometimes beneath the mantle. It's also an ILLUSION. Weird? Confusing? But it's true.

According to me, a friend is one, who accepts you whatever or whoever you are. He/she doesn't care about your background and habit whether you drink or smoke or any other bad habits (important: There are no bad habits). He may or may not tease you. He may or may not ask you how are you? Have you had your food? Have you studied or not? The only thing he needs is 'THE TRUST'.

When I was young, Mr. X said, "AAA is your friend. Why can't you give some advice to him/her?" HELLO!!! How can I give advice to him/her? The reason for not giving advice is I don't want to lose his/her friendship. I know to whom I have to give advice. If I start giving advice to all my friends, I'll end up with 3 or 4 friends. Again Mr. X asked me, "Don't you care about your friends?" Then I said, sir this doesn't mean that I don't care about my friends. I know about him/her very well. His/her attitude, belief, like and dislike. That's the main reason I'm not giving advice. This means, I won't say anything to him/her directly. But, somewhat indirectly.

It's not true that best friends always have to eat, roam, play and study together. Hello, give me a break boss. It's beyond that. Good friends are who can understand other's silence. They don't want to break the harmony. They know when to break silence. They know when to be together. Even though they are far away, there is always a synchronous communication between them. Now comes the main part. There is no ego or arrogance prevailing between the friends. If anyone of the above exists, sorry it's better for them to walk in different direction.

There is a wonderful habit among boys (sorry girls, I don't know about you people). If there is any fight between any two close friends, it will be solved within a day. Want to know how? The other friends along with the two fighting bulls go to the place where you can rejuvenate yourself. When some drops of intoxicant go inside, everything will be alright. It's like an open loop circuit becomes a closed loop circuit. Electrons started flowing. This may seems to be funny. It's happening in most of the places. But it’s very effective.

A good friend is a guy/girl who won't speak something by keeping something in his/her heart. He won't care about what you are? Who you are? Who are all your friends? The only thing he/she cares about is "The Trust".

A friend is one who understands your silence. He/she knows what kind of music has to be played in order to break your silence and  when to play.

Do Not Want To Look Behind The WOLVES Which Are Chasing Me





When someone shouts at us or shouts at someone who is in front of us, 'YOU ARE A COWARD. GO AND DIG YOURSELF'. What do we think? How do we react? Some people try to defend themselves by saying, 'I am not a coward'. Some try to prove themselves as brave by doing something. Some people feel ashamed. Some people as usual have a smile on their faces and move away.

I don't think all people are brave and also all are not coward. Both braveness and cowardliness exist in all the souls roaming below the stratosphere. A person is brave when he/she is surrounded by his/her 'strengths' and coward when he/she is surrounded by his/her 'weaknesses'. Ooops! I deviated a little bit. 

I want to write about the people who smile when others say that they are cowards. Those people are not afraid of fighting. They don't want to fight. Because it's not afraid of being get hurt. It's being afraid of the people around them who might get hurt.


Since they are not turning back and chasing the wolves which are chasing them, they are labelled as cowards. In the fast moving earth which is tilted of about 23.5 degree, no one wants to waste their time, energy and go backward to beat those filthy wolves. They know how to avoid those wolves and run in their highway. Unfortunately sometimes, they get hurt by those wolves.

A few brave people in certain areas argue,"Why don't we stop and chase those wolves?". My opinion is "Yes, you can". But, the thing is, people have lots of work, no one has time to chase those wolves and even, they don't have time to reach their destiny. There is one thing which can be done and that is, "Change the destiny. Yes, chasing the wolves".

Even though the opponent is playing in a rude way, the other team player is playing without getting angry and not indulging him in any fight. Does that mean, he is coward or afraid of fighting? Absolutely not.The reason behind this is the trust had by the remaining 10 players and whole country. A student who does not fight, though his classmates are rude with him, is because his whole family is dependent on him.


People are bounded by many reasons to move away from problems. This is reality. What you say??????????


Suddenly I remember a quote said by the man who formulated E=mc^2 "A clever person solves the problem. A wise person avoids the problem". What you want to be??????????????
