Do we know Honesty pays this way too !!!!

Govind Rao Khairnar / GR Khairnar or The Demolition Man. I am sure many of us still remember this name. This person has a tag with him and that is called Honesty. I have learned that one who is honest and loyal to his work will always do the job he is in for.When you perform your duty without fear and with dedication, people remember you, no matter how much time have elapsed.

One more name comes in my mind T N Seshan, Chief Election Officer, he was also loyal to his job and tried to make the process as transparent as he could. Today whatever ease is the there in the process for the voters is mainly because of him.

However one thing is to be noticed that; as far I remember; neither of both have either served their full tenure OR was given free hands to discharge their duties.May be because their bosses were afraid to do so; as these men would have come in public eye for best performers; and their complete planning for exploiting the nations would have been scrapped.

I never understand the system where

1. Officials want to discharge their duties but are not allowed to; and
2. Officials not at all interested in doing their jobs.

Why is happening and what are the intentions of rule-makers; is not at all clear. Now-a-days rule-makers breaks the rule proudly.



Yeshwant Sonawane (Additional District Collector) Killed by members of the oil mafia, which was a Rs 10,000cr kerosene black market. 11 held and main accused still in hospital in Sonawane Murder Case  and 80K Maharashtra gazetted officers is on strike today on Jan 27, 2011 for killing Yeshwant Sonawane in oil mafia (Kerosene black market). This is a high profile case and we can feel the heat. However the point to be noticed is "Are the criminals now not afraid of justice and / or Law and order ?". We all know justice will be done and at the max life imprisonment would be rewarded to one or two of them and rest will be for few years. The question is "will it be sufficient ? Will it bring back the faith, people have lost, in Law & Order ? Would the punishment sent a stringent message to all those involved in black marketing to step out of the business or face the rain ?"

May I request to the bosses, who runs the country, to feel ashamed on themselves and try to provide a better environment, in all aspect, for everyone that includes their families too. As what they are now, not necessarily their family member will also have same power tomorrow ....

How soon justice can be done as "Justice delayed is Justice Denied".

Afraid of being Creative !!!!!

Creativity is within us. Some of us knows this and acknowledge it in their daily life and some does not even know that what they possess is a gem. Some of us are aware of that things can be done differently but are afraid to follow their own mind. Creativity more about the quality of the time you have and being receptive to yourself. Though this does take some time.

What I suspect there are some real barriers which prohibit the person to use it. and I put them as below :

1. Lack of time. This is not as major as you may think. Linking thoughts and ideas only takes seconds. It can happen anytime, anywhere. Provided you are in the right state and pay attention to your own experience.


2. Fear of being judged. Creativity results in unusual ideas and perhaps even being different in some way. They can be thought of as strange, odd or challenging. Fear of being considered weird, stupid or just different often kills creativity.

3. Lack of self-esteem. When you do something creative, you go beyond the bounds of what has been safe and familiar in the past, to yourself and maybe even others. When you are not sure about yourself, being different in any way can feel risky or make you feel vulnerable. The danger is that you give up your new insight to just blend in. Smash out of those shackles!

4. Fear of failure. This inhibits us. If you are making a new connection in your brain there can be no inherent "right" or "wrong" about it. Failure can only have two meanings really; firstly, that it didn't work in the way you wanted it to. Secondly, Someone else did not like it. But so what??!!

Accept that Creativity is not reserved for genius only. You do not need specialist expertise to be creative. The fruits of your creativity may manifest in many, many differing ways.

If at any time you doubt your ability to be creative, remind yourself that several times every night you create an entirely new dream, which you script, act in and watch, which involves all your senses and has effects that can last long after they are over. This creation is so very effortless most people don't even recognise it as such.

How to be more creative.

1. Find the right frame of mind. Discover properly what it is that triggers and maintains you being creative. What's your best time of day ? Your best environment? Do you need to be alone or with others or alone in the midst of others?  Do you need sounds or silence or background sounds? Build a profile of your creativity state, then make time and space for it on a regular basis instead of waiting for some divine intervention and for it to just happen on its own. Explore what states you associate with being creative.

2. Cultivate dreaming. Pay attention to your experience of life and attention to your existing creativity rather than dismissing day-dreams and dreams. Don't allow yourself to waste what you may already be discovering by ignoring it.

3. Ask yourself "What if?" and "What else?" and "How else?" Always go beyond what you fist thought, find more and more different ideas.

4. When and/or if you hit a problem, pretend your usual solution is not available. This can work in many different ways. If your PC crashes today, how else might you do your work? If you usually argue face to face, what would happen if you wrote your feelings down instead? Some solutions may be no better than the ones you're used to: others may offer you brilliant new opportunities.

5. If you enjoy cooking ; see how many new tastes you can create with the help of same ingredients. You will be amazed to see that with basis ingredients only you can prepare different taste and various recipe. That all within you -- the creativity.

Some recipes use the same ingredients but different processes or quantities come up with different results.

6. Look out for the difference that makes the difference. When you encounter something that strikes you as different, ask yourself what it is about it that is so different or new or unusual. Where does the key difference actually lie?

Let me know your views on this and help me in making it more understanding and useful.

Visualise your Goal

A Little more persistence
a little more effort;
then what seem failure
may turn into a Glory !!!

The Catalina Island is twenty-one miles away from the coast of California, and many people have taken the challenge to swim across it.

On July 4th 1952, Florence Chadwick stepped into the water off Catalina Island to swim across to the California coast. She started well and on course, but later fatigue set in, and the weather became cold.

She persisted, but fifteen hours later, numb and cold, she asked to be taken out of the water.

After she recovered, she was told that she had been pulled out only half a mile away from the coast. She commented that she could have made it, if the fog had not affected her vision and she would have just seen the land.

She promised that this would be the only time that she would ever quit.

She went back to her rigorous training. And two months later she swam that same channel. The same thing happened. The fatigue set in, and the fog obscured her view, but this time she swam with faith and vision of the land in her mind. She knew that somewhere behind the fog was land.

She succeeded and became the first woman to swim the Catalina Channel. She even broke the men's record by two hours.

SUCCESS PRINCIPLES

When you set your goal, keep pressing on even when you are tired, physically and mentally, and even though there are many challenges ahead.

Integrity + "Giving Back."

Amadeo Peter Giannini (better known as A.P.); I am not sure if many of us know this gentleman. This is how the story goes :

When Amadeo Peter Giannini (better known as A.P.) was only 7, his father died in a fight over one dollar. Times got real hard. Eventually A.P.'s mother married a man in the produce business. At age 14 A.P. quit school to work with his stepfather. By 19 he was a partner in their thriving enterprise. It was here that A.P. built his reputation for integrity and honesty. At 31 years of age he had all the money he needed or wanted, and announced his retirement.

At 32, A.P's real career started when he was asked to join the board of the Columbus Savings & Loan society. It wasn't long before A.P found himself at odds with the other directors. He wanted the bank to loan money to hard-working immigrants, but at that time banks catered only to business men and the wealthy. His ideas of loaning money to the working class were scoffed at.

But A.P. was determined to make a difference for immigrants too - he had the vision, the perseverance and determination. He raised $150,000, and bought a converted saloon across the street from the Columbus S&L. A. P. kept the bartender on as an assistant teller, and opened the Bank of Italy. It was here he began to make a difference - to devise his real success formula.

It was considered improper and uncouth, but A.P. began ringing doorbells and talking to everyone he could about his bank. He advertised. He kept the bank open longer hours and on weekends to fit into working people's schedules. Business boomed. He knew he was beginning to make a difference.

But making money wasn't A.P.'s sole measurement of success. He believed he could make a difference by making other people's dreams come true, too. He helped the California Wine Industry get started. He bankrolled Hollywood when they were trying to make movies popular. When Walt Disney ran $2 million dollars over budget on Snow White, he stepped in with a loan.

A.P.'s story exemplifies the secret to success -- a strong vision, the perseverance and determination to overcome obstacles thrown your way and the courage to make a difference, even in the face of opposition.
What began in 1904 as the Bank of Italy is now the Bank of America -- the world's largest bank.

And what about A.P.? Did he die a billionaire?

When he passed away at age 79, A.P.'s estate was worth less than $500,000. This was purely by choice. A.P. looked down on great wealth. He believed it would make him lose touch with the people he wanted to serve. He worked without pay for years. One year he was given a surprise $1.5 million bonus and promptly gave it to the University of California.
The secret to success is having a strong vision and the perseverance and determination to overcome whatever obstacles get in your way, along with the courage to make a difference. 

It's a winning success formula -- integrity plus "giving back."

No Shame .. No Regret .. No Apologies

Son kills father to gain divine power. Father kills son on extra-marital affair. Brother kills his sister on main road, people were just acting as mute spectators. First became friend and then killed him. 


Today people are being killed for nothing.  I have not seen any newspaper without any killing news; not even a single day. Someday a person is killed for 2 rupees, then another day one is murdered for a drink and so on ... Now a days even inside families also people are not safe. Father kills son, brother kills sister, son kills mother / father and so ... and still 

I am sure you are bored of these news as now a days it appears daily in your local and national news. Why this all happening ? What is the motive behind all these ..?



No Shame .. No Regret .. No Apologies ..


What life we are planning to give to our kids and how we could see our forefathers. We proudly announce that we have made arrangements for our kids and they need not worry. However are we really very sure that they are going to enjoy ?  

The place has become so dangerous that we can't even carry a mobile or money freely and by the time our kid's time arrives - only GOD knows what would be the situation.


No one is bothered about their duties but yes they are ready to raise the finger on others .. 


If every political parties main agenda is to develop the nation and provide best facilities to their citizen-- why there are multiple parties at all in first place ?

No One Killed Jessica

I have learnt a lot in my life with experiences. Although I can not guarantee that what I have achieved and learnt will have same meaning and values for others as it varies person to person.

However I strongly feels that if one starts learning only through experiences and not with the guidance of others, the life is too short to accomplish this.

While reading newspaper two or three days back I was shocked to read the statement by Shyam Munshi; I hope you all still remember the person; I will not watch No One Killed Jessica". I wondered what could be reason for not watching him the movie which is based on a real life incident and can be easily co-related with what is happening around us.

I was in process of recalling the complete incident and things were clear now .. I will not go in much details as it will fill many number if pages. However in concise :


Jessica Lal -- an aspiring model, whose career was finished before it could take shape
 
During the early hours of April 30, 1999, a thirty-four year old model named Jessica Lal1 was shot and killed at a private party in a South Delhi restaurant, allegedly for refusing to serve liquor to a guest after the bar had closed. The man in question was identified by three eye witnesses as Manu Sharma, the son of a senior Congress Party politician and former Union minister. In an interview with police that was subsequently broadcast on national television, Sharma confessed to the murder. 

This confession was later retracted, and a plea of non-guilty entered at trial. During the trial the three critical eye witnesses recanted earlier statements made to the police, and twenty-nine witnesses of lesser importance did the same. One of the eye witnesses, Shyam Munshi, changed his testimony so completely that his revised statement was used as exculpatory evidence by the defence.

Sharma and eight other codefendants were acquitted of all charges in February 2006, resulting in a public outcry against what was perceived to be a gross miscarriage of justice. During the weeks that followed the verdict, petitions were circulated, protest marches organized, and candlelight vigils held. Later on President and PM intervention the case was appealed to the Delhi High Court by the prosecution in March, and in December the lower court ruling was reversed with respect to three of the defendants. Manu Sharma was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison, and two other defendants were convicted for conspiracy and destruction of evidence. (The verdict has been appealed to the Supreme Court, but Sharma remains in prison.) Shyam Munshi and other prosecution witnesses who turned hostile during the trial currently face possible charges of perjury.

Now coming back to life -- I thought why one would make such a loose statement ? People learn from mistakes but Mr. Munshi is not bothered. Why is not trying to seek forgiveness for his wrong deeds ?

Does it mean along-with time we are leaving behind the feel of humanity. The more we are developing ourselves, less we are concerned about surroundings. We have lost the scent of human touch and living an isolated life.
