The Old Fight

2008-10-12T13:57:00.005+05:30

Now days I am doing a lot of self-talk i.e. talking to me. When I talk to myself either loudly or in the inner thoughts, most of the time I have been accepting that my outside can never be perfect. Too often we are hard on ourselves because we are trying to live up to some idea of "perfection" we have about ourselves. Often we are trying to live up to a standard that society projects on us, or to a standard that we’ve put on ourselves because we feel we have a deficiency in some area.

Learning how to manage a job and a family when there doesn't seem to be time for both is a constant struggle with in these you have to find time for your hobbies. But the question is all the same Can a healthy balance can be achieved with the proper effort? I hope you must have said this to yourself many times "I’m going to get organized this time and stick to it". Staying organized is like trying to keep weight off; we do it for a while and then fall back into old habits. Most of us have learned many organization techniques over the years: get a day planner, make to-do lists, develop an organizing system so we can find and store things easily, touch paper only one time. However, we end up still getting slacken down, and the planners and the to-do lists fall by the wayside. We end up right where we were before, maybe a little improved but still struggling with overload, over commitment, and overly tired. Because the gateway we are left with is of the four Ds [Do, Delegate, Delay or Dump].

I have personally identified following points to make my inside perfect:

Identify people who steal your time (online/offline); don’t succumb to their schedules or tactics.
Control interruptions: the more you allow them, the more they will happen.
Limit the amount of stress you are exposed to by getting proactive.
Maintain some physical activity and keep on changing your environment.

Happy Navratras

2008-10-05T06:00:00.007+05:30

Today there is a lot of mess in my room as it is getting white washed but due to my earlier commitments with myself. I am some how managing to write down the BYBS. Despite of the routine cleanings the whole house is being white washed or thoroughly cleaned once in a year in the festive season of Navratras.

This festival of Navratras has great importance here in India. Usually it falls from 30 September to 08 October in a year. The festival of Navratri (nav stands for nine and ratr means nights) lasts for 9 days with three days each devoted to worship of Goddess Durga (the Goddess of Valor which is taken as a symbol of end of evil), Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth and Saraswati (Minerva), the Goddess of Knowledge. During the nine days of, feasting and fasting take precedence over all normal daily activities amongst the Hindus. Evenings give rise to the religious dances in order to worship Goddess Durga.The 7th - 8th days belong to Saraswati Maa who is worshipped to acquire the spiritual knowledge. This in turn will bless us with wisdom . But on the 8th day of this colourful festival, yagna (holy fire) is performed. On the last day, the festival of Navratri culminates in Mahanavami. On this day Kanya Puja (Nine young girls representing the nine forms of Goddess Durga are worshiped.) is performed. The following image is of the card we received from the ancient heritage temple of Simla Kali Bari. Happy Navratras.

Life after Death

2008-10-02T22:33:00.005+05:30

There is no reason for a sound faith to be irrational. A useful faith should not be blind, but should be well aware of its grounds. A sound faith should be able to use scientific investigation to strengthen itself. If, due to an inevitable destiny of soul, an Omnipotent Being will save us no matter what we do, we will not regret having spent a bit of time preparing unnecessarily to save ourselves. But if there is no such Being, or if there are divine Beings more powerful than us who can help us if we are prepared to accept their help, then we will deeply regret for a very long time our failure to prepare ourselves.It should be open enough to the spirit not to lock itself up in the letter. A nourishing, useful, healthful faith should be no obstacle to developing a science of death. In developing such a science, it is necessary for the investigator to consider all previous attempts to do so, especially those traditions with a long development and a copious literature. Of all these, the science of death preserved in the Indo-Tibetan tradition is perhaps the most copious of all.

Given the boundless interconnectedness of living forms, beginning-less and end-less, and spread throughout an infinity of space, the materialist picture of evolution as natural selection operating purposelessly, yet efficiently developing life forms through random mutation from a definite beginning point within a finite theater of planetary environment, needs some revision. First of all, postulated definite beginnings and finite settings are always suspected. The materialist account describes reasonably the material, causal development process, but why should not mind as well as body develop and mutate?

The Buddhist view of all this, the psychobiological evolutionary account known as the "Theory of karma," is very like the Darwinian idea of evolution. The karma theory describes a great chain being, postulating a relationship between all observed species of beings and a pattern of development of one life form into another humans have been monkeys in the past, and all animals have been single celled animals. The difference in the karma theory is that individuals mutate through different life forms from life to life. A subtle, mental level of life carries patterns developed in one life into the succeeding ones.

Species develop and mutate in relation to their environments, and individuals also develop and mutate from species to species. This karmic evolution can be random, and beings can evolve into lower forms as well as higher ones. Once beings become conscious of the process, however, they can purposely effect their evolution through choices of actions and thoughts. Although their are undeniable differences, the karma theory gives an evolutionary explanation of how beings are the way they are. So we can comfortably translate Karma throughout as "Evolutionary Action".

Karma means action that causes development and change and so is close to what we mean by evolution. There is no need to retain to retain the Indian word karma. Some translators do so because of the factor of mystification; they feel that nothing in the target language can reproduce the unique meaning of the original term. Some westerns who delve into Eastern thought also keep the term because they are thinking of karma mystically, as a kind of fate. But in Buddhist science, it has nothing to do with fate-it is an impersonal, natural process of cause and effect. Our karma at a given moment of life or death or the between is the overall pattern of causal impulses resulting from former actions connected with our life continuum.

These form a complex that impresses its effects on our bodies action and thoughts. In turn our ongoing actions of body. Speech and mind form new causal impulses, which determine the nature and quality of our lives in the future. This complex can be called our evolutionary momentum. There is an old Tibetan saying Don’t wonder about your former lives; just look carefully at your present body. Don't wonder about your future lives; just look at your mind at present!" This expresses the sense that our present body has evolved from a long evolution driven by former actions and our future embodiments will be shaped by how we think and what we decide to do in our present actions.

The time of the between, the transition from a death to a new rebirth, is the best time to attempt consciously to effect the causal process of evolution for the better. Our evolutionary momentum is temporarily fluid during the between, so we can gain or loose a lot of possibilities during its crisis.

Are you living your Present?

2008-09-16T05:49:00.008+05:30

Do you live in your present time? There's nothing better than being able to live in the moment. But how many of us actually live in present? That is, being totally present in this moment, without letting memories of the past hold us back. I would imagine very few of us. Certainly, I don't.

Take ten minutes out today. And consider that maybe what you're doing... maybe the patterns you're holding in your mind... are simply just memories. And maybe you can change your habits, your addictions, your patterns. Simply by deciding to, it’s an interesting thought.

They said time is a great teacher, but remember: It kills all of its learners. And it's a terrible beautician too. So, don't let time get you.

Try living in Present time i.e. today and just see how you feel.

Richest Man

2008-09-15T04:59:00.001+05:30

That man is richest whose pleasures are cheapest. O God please do not give so much of wealth so that I become arrogant and proudy. It is bitter but a fact that, "No one can earn a million dollars honestly.” Give me resources and wisdom so that I can do all the good I can.

I love the whole world

2008-07-31T22:00:00.002+05:30

The Word is just Awesome!

Treat Yourself

2008-07-29T21:48:00.000+05:30

Is the world weighing heavy on your shoulders? Are you tired and finding that everything requires just too much effort? If so, it's time to take a break and lighten up. Take a day off and relax. Reflect on why you're feeling so weighed down. Have you taken on too many commitments? Are you not asking for the help or support that you need? Are you involved in exhausting disputes or relationships? Do the root cause analysis and take action to change the situation. It is possible that your chosen path isn't right for you at this moment or that you need to take a different path or course of action. Have fun! Do something that you really love doing just for relaxation and a change of scene. You'll find that taking a break will help you lighten up so that you feel rejuvenated. And if you really feel down, laugh! Roll about laughing. Feel the positive energy of laughter. "What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul?" It doesn't matter if you feel that you have nothing to laugh about. Start laughing and wake up that tired spirit that has been squashed for so long because of the perceived pressures of the world. Laugh and the entire world lighten up! Remember, life is not going to stop just because you're taking a well-earned break.

I appreciate my Boss who in fact is a very short tempered guy always tackles his fury with the pearls of laughter. Always laugh when you can. It’s cheap medicine. One of the most common traditions is that we need a reason to laugh and not only a reason but a good enough reason so that when other people ask us, What are you laughing about? they will laugh about it too and for that purpose funny pictures play a vital role not to make a word and the whole reason is already answered back.Laughter is fun but it also has been found by many physicians and therapists to be a powerful healing force. In fact, many therapists use laughter to help people share and work through painful experiences such as terminal illnesses and many more. Laughter is a best solution of fear, anger and boredom. It is a cleansing of the soul. Emotions have great impact on our human body because when we have emotions, our body changes throwing our body in balance and preparing us for remaining happy and healthy.

According to a quote from Norman Cousins "Laughter is internal jogging but at the same time remember If you cannot laugh at yourself, don't laugh at others
Give it a try and Lighten Up!

Do not regret

2008-06-23T17:24:00.006+05:30

Do you get filled with regrets frequently? I certainly do! In this post I'd like to speak out something that mostly we will do not consider.

Just for the moment, can you try giving yourself praise and thanks for regretting up so well? So, congratulate yourself on doing it so well. It really is quite the accomplishment to do it to the extent you do. Now, why not try congratulating yourself on being as flawed as you are? We have all got issues that we let hold us back. So, just for the moment, give yourself praise for being as wonderfully flawed as you are. You hate all of those flaws, right? Well, just give yourself praise and approval for holding onto that feeling of hatred and resistance for so long.

According to Katherine Mansfield, “Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only for wallowing in.”

You've been doing wonderfully so far in your life. Don’t have fear for the future, and do not weep not for the past. Only a really strong person would hold on to a strong feeling like that for so long! And now, just for the moment, could you give yourself some approval for just being as perfect and as flawed as you are? May be just because it's a very smart thing to do.

Take this exercise seriously. Most people have never taken the time out to honestly give themselves approval for being both the perfect and flawed being they are. By praising your negative emotions, rather than attempting to suppress them - we feel so much better, and become more in harmony with the beautiful duality that life provides. Enjoy your day - and give yourself approval even if you don't! Our defects are just all right!

“I have no regrets in my life. I think that everything happens to you for a reason. The hard times that you go through build character, making you a much stronger person.” --Anonymous

In fact regrets provides us launch pads for new opportunities. After all, you're incredibly good at... Right? Of course you are!

Innovation

2008-06-18T06:54:00.002+05:30

People play a role in the culture of society. Organizations need to consider the type of employees that can most effectively drive innovation. From a diverse range of research in psychology to management it has been found that a core of reasonably stable personality traits characterizes creative individuals.

Despite the interest in the field of innovation, much of the research evidence concerning management practices about innovation culture and creative climate remains unsystematic and subjective. Highly innovative ones behave as focused ones where as less innovative ones behave as traditional bureaucrats.

A select of few such points are shown in the block diagram.

What do you want to be?

2008-06-15T17:03:00.007+05:30

To face an adversity by seeking the opportunity within it is a real great talent and blessing. Here I go with a wonderful quote from Socrates

"The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear."

Nice thought.
How many of us really try to appear a particular way?
How often do I try to appear all self-developed, and smart, and spiritual?
And how often is it all just a bit false?
Please again, read the quote: "The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear."
Just throw this set of questions on you:

1. What do you want to be?
2. What you really are?
3. And why don't you try to really be it?
4. How you wish others to be?

The real self of ours is neither what we think nor what people tell us to do but surely in a random fashion what we are known for.

Happy BYBS!

Gratitude in Attitude

2008-06-10T22:49:00.007+05:30

According to a Research it has been suggested that Attitude of Gratitude may be beneficial to subjective emotional well-being.Maintain a ‘Gratitude Listing’.

Everyday write one thing in your life that you are grateful for. Try to introduce at least one new thing to be thankful for everyday.

Very soon you will start appreciating all that you ‘have’, and stop thinking about all that you ‘don’t have as yet’. The best part is that by being grateful for what you already have, you will start attracting all that you ‘want to have’. Yes, that is the magic and Power of Gratitude. Why don’t you invite this magic into your own lives with the beautiful lines of this wonderful poem?

Thank you God for world so sweet,

Thank you God for the food we eat,

Thank you God for the birds that sing,

Thank you God for everything...

Introducing Me to Myself

2008-05-26T08:12:00.007+05:30

Our lives are nothing but a complex phenomenon which is absolutely jam-packed with limitations. Every single day, our thoughts limit how we move forward in the world. We don't apply for that job, because we think we're not good enough. We continue that addiction, because we don't think we're strong enough to break it off. We keep doing the "same old, same old" because that's just you.

I'd like to tackle the underlying root behind all limiting thoughts. Behind all of the suffering and the stories we tell ourselves, is the idea that... There is such a thing as "Me." Let's think about it for a moment. Look at yourself right now. Is there really a "me" in this current moment? You might think that you're the body. Or a spirit inside that body. Perhaps your belief is that you're part of a big mass of consciousness. Whatever you think, that's all right. But also consider that it may also be just another limiting belief. And just for now, witness what is happening. If you really look hard enough, without going into memory for a moment!, you'll realize that all that is with you right now is a phenomenon of awareness.

You're seeing, hearing & experiencing. But in this particular moment, You're not limited. You're not addicted. When we stop identify with the "Me" that we're all so desperately attached to, we lose the self and suddenly all of the things we think define us drop away. All that we are is what is here in this present moment.

Think about it. There isn't a "me" to have an addiction or sadness. And that also means there isn't even a "me" to have happiness, too! It also means there isn't a "me" to have any of the long-standing problems and issues you believe you have. They're just limiting thoughts. In the awareness that you are, without going into memory, those issues don't exist.

In other words if you really drop the limitations and notice what is really here, you'll discover. All there is is the inherent freedom that you already are. Every single thought is a limitation. Let go of the limitation and discover the freedom you can only ever be. My limit is Sky!

Happy BYBS and a Wonderful week ahead.

Wrestling with Pig

2008-05-04T11:36:00.003+05:30

Lots of heartache can be prevented by being a little careful while routine discussion with your fellow mates. You never know when your discussion may turn into arguments. The best way to win an argument is to avoid it. An argument is one thing you will never win. If you win an argument but lose a customer, friend, job, marriage. What kind of victory is it which leaves you pretty empty?

Here you win to lose. Arguments result from inflated ego. Arguing is like fighting a losing battle. Even if one wins, the cost may be more than the victory is worth. These emotional battles leave a residual ill will even if you win.

In an argument, both people are trying to have the last word. Argument is nothing more than a battle of egos and results in a yelling contest. A bigger fool than me one who knows it all is the one who argues with him!

Discussion entails not only saying the right thing at the right time but also leaving unsaid what need not be said. Children should be taught the art of speaking up but not talking back. As adults we should learn the art of disagreeing without being disagreeable. The way a person handles an argument reflects their upbringing.

I learned a long time ago never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty and besides, the pig likes it. - Cyrus Ching

Happy BYBS

Low Esteem

2008-05-02T05:58:00.008+05:30

This incident took place about eleven years ago in my life and I remember it so often in order to understand the psyche of my fellow mate, 'Subbu'. I try to go into his shoes to think how I would have tackled my low esteem. Now I decided to blog it.

I and Subbu were sharing a good relation. I never realised when his small deeds started irritating me and I started avoiding. Our frequency of meeting fell down from six to two meets in a weeks time. I tried to entertain his each and every call but I was unable to realise when did I hurted him for which he developed lot of hate for me. May be his expectatrions were too high from me.

This happened when after a lot of avoidance one day my heart slightly melts when Subbu asked me to accompany for a lunch along with his girlfriend. Though in the days when we enjoyed good relationship with each other he use to discuss a lot about his GF “Shelly”. For this strange offer of unexpected lunch I hesitantly agreed to grace with my presence, this adventure. I was slightly curious for the meet them and on my way to them was thinking to share my jokes on their funny early clashes.

Finally the day came, the lunch was ventured at a expensive posh restaurant of the town, I was totally free that day and when I reached there I found him waiting me near the restaurant entrance in that wintry afternoon. He greeted me with warm gesture. I asked him surprisingly, “Where is Shelly!' She'll be joining us soon, he welcomed me by holding my arm with a drag.

We moved to the upper story of the restaurant and gossiped a little with the sips of lukewarm water. After ten minutes or so when I find that Shelly didn't joined us I put forward my concern and said, "May be she is stuck with some problem" My slight intent was or may be we can order some light starters. Before I could utter any thing suddenly Subbu roused from his place and begged my pardon to go to the wash room. I smilingly nodded and was busy peeping on to my next table a beautiful foreigner couple.

Up to next ten minutes I didn't realised of anything, after some time when the waiter approached me after once making him stay back for the reason I was waiting for my guests (hosts). I got up from my table and moved towards the wash room. After a thorough check up when I made sure that he is not there, I tried convincing myself as if he had just gone to check the status of Shelly out and he might be feeling awkward in front of me. Thinking all this I walked back to my table but then suspiciously I went t the entrance and checked outside. After two to four minutes I was able to make it out that he has left me all alone.

After this incident we never tried to see each other. Though I was not able to conclude anything concrete out of it. Only I can say, may be i hurted him somewhere due to my some superiority complexes, he did this to let me down in his own way. For me it was his best shot to save his Downfallen Poor Esteem.

Is life beautiful?

2008-04-28T06:55:00.003+05:30

Life is not at all beautiful, rather it is ruthless. But the point is we have to make it beautiful. Health, happiness, and success depend upon the fighting spirit of each person. The big thing is not what happened to us in life-but what we do about what happens to us.

Life is not just party and pleasure; it is also pain and despair. Unthinkable things happen. Sometime, everything turns upside down. Bad things happen to all of us, and some things are beyond control, such a physical disability and birth defects. We cannot choose our parents or the circumstances of our birth.

If the ball bounced the wrong way for you, I'm sorry. But what do you do from that point on - cry or take the ball and run. That is a choice you have to make.

There are many of boats sailing all different directions in a lake. Even though the wind is blowing in one direction, the sailboats are going in different directions.

Why?

It depends on the way the sail is set, and that is determined by the sailor. The same is true of our lives. We can't choose the direction off wind, but we can choose how we set our sail.

So lets make this life beautiful. Happy BYBS.

Signed up for PPP

2008-04-12T04:02:00.001+05:30

I never realized when I started loving writing and I felt happier when I came to know that I can even earn from my hobby of writing. I can honestly say that I've earned a good amount from such programs. It is true that people who are into the jobs close to their hobbies are lucky because earning money and loving what you do is cool enjoyable combination to reach out your success.

In this process I encountered payperpost. It is a facility in which it cuts out the middle man and bridges me as a Blogger to the Advertiser. PPP has become a promising source of income for bloggers, offering multiple opportunities and different blogger levels so that every type of Blog owner can get paid to blog . There are about 100,000 bloggers associated with PPP.

The best part of PPP is that they offer bloggers a greater percentage of the advertising dollars fully based on what the advertisers paid. PPP also have program which gives bloggers the opportunity to place a banner on their site that that says, "Hire Me!" This is a promising opportunity because even other bloggers like me can click on this link and pay me to write an advertising post and vice versa. I'm quite excited to see what comes about next from PPP.

Positive Possibilities

2008-04-09T22:38:00.002+05:30

In a particular case the bankruptcy was such a horrible experience for one individual that he decided to help others who were going through it. Today he is a counselor to those who have to declare bankruptcy.

Every problem contains secret ingredients of some creative potential either for you or someone else. One man's problem is another man's opportunity.

There are two sides to every coin. What may be a problem to someone can be a profitable business for others. For instance according to a study, rats and mice are plagues to the human world. However, the presence of rats, and mice in America alone results in tens of millions of dollars in the economy. Rats and mice are responsible for thousands of jobs! Factories make mousetraps. Families are supported from the income of exterminators of such pests. Similarly, every human problem holds possibilities for someone willing to look for them.

Consequently, hospitals exist because people are sick. Lawyers are in business because people violate laws in a moment of weakness or Ignorance. Every thing exists for the purpose. And every problem holds positive possibilities.

Earning Credits

2008-04-02T11:53:00.003+05:30

Have you ever thought of not taking the credit for your outstanding works at your workplace. I personally feel that it is very very difficult to skip the credit, rather most of us believe in snatching the credits for even what we have not done.

God can do tremendous things through the person who doesn’t care who gets the credit. I read in a book about a man who was president and chairman of the board of a company. The company was very successful in the early stages of the space program. The president was told by an interviewer, “Excuse me for saying this, but I’ve never heard of your name or your company. He replied, “Maybe not. We didn’t get the credit, but we got the contract.” Don’t worry about getting the credit. If you do, you’ll become ego-involved in the decision-making moments of life. Decisions must never be based on ego needs. They must be based on human needs and market pressures that transcend your own desires. Decide today: Would you rather satisfy your ego-or enjoy the fruit of success?

The wonderful lesson from the event is that never reject a possibility because you won’t get the credit!

Mental Whispers

2008-03-16T13:03:00.003+05:30

One of the greatest help in your development can be the habit of mental whispering to yourself. Mental whispers develop dynamic power to reshape matter into what you want. You do not realize how great the power of the mind is. Until you fulfill your strong desires, your mind will not rest; it ceaselessly works toward fulfilling those desires. When you want to have something special, or to buy a dress, dish or a car you have admired, is it not true that no matter what else you may be doing your mind is continually thinking how you can get those things?

All the salient accomplishments of my life have been achieved through that power of mind in tune with the will of the Supreme Being. When your mind and will are in sync to the Divine Will of universe you do not have to move a finger in order to create changes on earth. The divine law will work for you. When that divine dynamo is on, whatever I am wishing has to come to pass. Things that the mortal mind could not even hope to expect were however done in front of us.

What is your perception?

2008-03-13T10:01:00.000+05:30

Life seems such a tangible reality, and yet it is elusive. Today you are & tomorrow you are not. I remind myself of this every day. One by one we slip away. Others will come and we shall go. Every minute is precious. But the body is only a garment. How many times you have changed your clothing in this life, yet because of this you would not say that you have changed. Similarly, when you give up this bodily dress at death you do not change. You are just the same, an immortal soul, a child of God.

Reincarnation means merely a change of mortal dress. But your real self will never change. You must concentrate on your real self, not on the body, which is nothing but a garment.

I sometimes think that sense perceptions are the worst enemies of man, because they make us believe we are something we are not. We did an experiment in our schools. It was regarding sensation of hot and cold. The sensation of cold makes us think we are cold, and the sensation of heat makes us think we are hot. If we would but deny these sensations in our minds we would feel neither cold nor heat. The coldness and hotness is always relative. It applies to everything of the universe. What is your understanding of perception?

A Dishonest Claim

2008-03-12T13:44:00.000+05:30

The great man doesn't think them to be great. Those who say they are great are not. And those who are great are too busy being great to think about their greatness. It is disgusting to observe some one claiming that he is very honest and good. If you are really so you actually do not need to require beating the bushes. Besides, no matter how wonderful you think you are, as soon as you proclaim it, every one wants to prove you otherwise. The point is: be sincere. Live, it in your life. Never try to deceive others.

A fake rose can never be a real rose. And a real rose will shed its fragrance no matter how much it is crushed. So never try pretending to be what you are not. If you egotistically display yourself before others, the world will eventually cast you aside. And don't try in any way to deceive someone, for in the false notion that you can fool anyone you only deceive yourself. He is just behind your thoughts. If you are not sincere with Him, How can you be with anyone else?

Looking for a chance

2008-03-12T10:12:00.010+05:30

Friendly Cooperation

2008-03-09T04:57:00.005+05:30

All of us require friendly cooperation but the question arises are we ready to deliver the same. Most of the times, the wrong we do to others and what we suffer are weighed differently. It is difficult to achieve success without the friendly cooperation of others.

Some people think themselves to be on weaker side if they would give much room to others. A pleasing personality is flexible and adaptable while maintaining composure. Flexibility does not mean flimsy or helpless behavior. It means assessing and responding appropriately and in a timely manner to a given situation. Flexibility does not stretch to principles and values.

People who are true friends in the real sense help one another, but these are not favours. They are acts incidental to friendship and never the purpose of it. As I stated in my previous post if ever helping each other become the purpose of friendship. Purpose goes, friendship also goes.

Relationships don't just happen, they take time to build. They are built on kindness, understanding and self-sacrifice, not on jealousy, selfishness, puffed up egos and rude behavior.Relationships should never be taken for granted. Once relationships are established, they need to be nurtured constantly. Nobody is perfect. Expecting perfection is setting you up for disappointment. Remember one of the most significant elements of friendly cooperation is showing and invoking your Empathy.

Friendship of convenience

2008-03-07T05:31:00.002+05:30

People make friends for different motives, some seek friends for pleasure. You are a friend so long as the relationship is entertaining and fun. Pleasure goes friendship goes.It is where people make friends to gain something and are not lasting. There are different kinds.

To socialize, I have my neighbor so it is convenient! We laugh together, share together. In case of emergency he is next door. It is convenient to be together. Proximity goes, friendship goes.

How can I use him? He is well connected, financially well, off, resourceful, he is a doctor, lawyer. Build and maintain the relationship, some day he could be useful. Usefulness goes, friendship goes.

There is a saying "my enemy's enemy is my friend." Common enemy goes, friendship also goes.

True Friendship cannot survive without the element of mutual respect.

Just check out how you and your friends are related to each other.

Easy to miss

2008-03-04T05:58:00.000+05:30

In our life some time we blame an entity, environment or some other parameter for our failure. We are not just arms, legs and ears, a heart and a brain but a complete human being. The whole person performs everything. We take work problems to family and family problems to work? Our stress level goes up and our productivity goes down.. Similarly, work problems also have an impact not only on our family but on every aspect of our life. Just give atry to comprehend in totality. Our personal, profesional and social problems impact each other.

It seems that this all is easy to see. But remember what is easy to see is also easy to miss.

2008-03-02T05:12:00.001+05:30

There are times when we see people around us randomly getting benefits in spite of all their malicious deeds and a feeling starts sprouting from with in that all the good things we have done is just futile.

Todays BYBS is, "Let no man be sorry he has done good, because others have done evil!"

If a man has acted right, he has done well, though alone; if wrong, the sanction of all mankind will never justify him in history.

Do you love Gossiping?

2008-03-01T04:36:00.004+05:30

If you really love gossiping this can be a alarming post for you. Someone said it well: "Small people talk about other people, mediocre people talk about things, and great people talk about ideas."

A gossip is listened in haste and shared at leisure. A gossip never minds his own business because he has neither a mind nor a business. A gossip is more concerned about what one overhears than what it hears. Gossip is the art of saying nothing in a way that leaves nothing unsaid.

Always remember, people who gossip with you will also gossip about you in your absence. Gossiping and lying are closely related. Gossip can lead to slander and defamation of character. People who listen to gossip are as guilty as those who do the gossiping. Gossip has no respect for justice. It breaks hearts and makes the innocent cry, it ruins lives and careers, and it is cunning and malicious.

Next time time while gossiping you must check that whether you are saying positive things about others or negative? And do you enjoy and encourage others to spread rumors? Does your conversation begin with, “It should be between us and don't tell anyone?" Gossips have seldom to do with truth. The worst part about this habit is that you do not realize when it becomes your necessity and even you indulge in spreading rumors.

Review on Pro360.com

2008-02-29T17:00:00.005+05:30

At times in our life we have to take calculated risks. Those risks if calculated correctly can give us a sense of fulfillment. In our lives we can’t be so thorough and organized such that we start comprehending every aspect and take decisions accordingly. If we contemplate with this view point we’ll conclude that life is a big Gamble.

Anyhow today I’ll be reviewing an online casino reviews website called Pro360.com.

Technology is ever increasing in the online world and online businesses are springing up in every minute to get on to the information super highway. We already have online auctions which have played a major role in efficiency for everyday consumers to get bargain based products from all areas of the world, but now we are faced with a new dilemma,

The World Wide Web is really getting Wild Wild Web. It is not easy for an individual to find out really trust worthy gambling websites. Searching suitable and dependable website for online casino can be a big fight and very time consuming effort. Can you imagine, there are more than 3000 casino sites in result pages when searching for but out of them only few are legal? It's just like pointing a star in the sky. The pro360.com is bearing a badge of best US approved sites along with many categories to surf.

I'm not sure that online gambling would be a healthy business that benefits us. The big question is, whether the positives of online gambling greater than the negatives? I trust it is really a matter of ones choice. Excess of every thing is bad and so does apply to gambling or playing absolutely safe. If some one is dreaming of casino on full time scale than I feel sorry for him but if one is not reliant on it and rather take it as a recreational tool. I think he can really enjoy it.

In search of a recipe

2008-02-25T22:09:00.004+05:30

Do you like over cooked or under baked cookies. Off course not! As a matter of fact every one is cooking up to his best of knowledge, experience and availability of time.

A random thought, “Success is just like baking cookies.” If you have not got the right recipe, it won’t work. The ingredients must be of the finest quality and in the appropriate proportion.

Once you have the correct recipe, with practice and learning from the occasional mishaps, it becomes easier. The second most significant point is when you have the recipe whether or not you use it is a matter of your choice.

Do you have the right recipe? If yes, are you willing to use it…

Living with a purpose

2008-02-24T12:25:00.016+05:30

We are part of some big picture and all of us are put in this planet for a purpose. But a very few people discover their purpose in life. We can't afford to sit back and watch things happen. We need to find a purpose in order to make our life meaningful and then strive to achieve that purpose. Every day we need to ask ourselves, “Am I getting closer to my purpose?”

Living should be for some purpose and so do your blog. From long back on every Sunday, Neo has started another kind of purpose known as Blog Your Blessings BYBS-Sunday. This Sunday I am glad to include BYBS to my blog. This is a positive revolution which one can easily do in the capacity of a Blogger.

How can you make her special?

2008-02-14T11:33:00.002+05:30

Most of the males who are married think Valentines Day as an act for college days. Rather I feel it is an opportunity to express of what you truly want to say to the woman you adore. All of us are busy and no one has time to go out of the way but this life gives us an immense happiness which other wise seems a dream. We have to realize this Day as an chance of opening for even better relationship. Remember there are only few opportunities lying with you to celebrate this day.

And those who think that they really care for this opportunity should not stop by the card store or flower shop on the way home from work this year to pick up the same old, tired and too often used method this year. This is the time to plan something special and meaningful for her this Valentine's Day". It doesn't mean at all you have to go for some expensive stuff. You have to just contemplate what would make Valentine's Day special to her! And how many Valentine chances you have?

Are you special?

2008-02-12T15:11:00.003+05:30

Do you think that you aren’t special enough? Do you have a life that revolves around seeking everyone's approval? Do you often feel hurt by others or do you habitually start comparing yourself to others. Do you always try to ‘please’ your fellow beings? If your answer is "Yes" then this post is for you.

If you are obsessed with what others think about you and feel low if someone disapproves you? If you keep concentrating about what others think of you and you run here & there then sooner or later, you will be running faster than you can, working harder than you can until you get exhausted. Soon, you will feel you can’t live up to everyone’s expectations. And then you will feel helpless.

More often than not we do things to please others, as we feel it’s natural to meet others expectations and it’s inhuman to betray them. We please one person. Another one comes; we do something different to please him. The cycle goes on and on and on. And sooner it runs out of our scope. And even if we are able to please most of the people by the end we are not happy with ourselves. So stop and retrospect yourself and try to value your happiness.

Why we do so?

The obvious answer to this is fear. We fear of being rejected. We fear of being discarded. We fear of being disapproved. We fear of others' cold responses to us if we fail to please them. We need to let go this fear. We need to free our mind from this botheration.

There is a saying, “Please everyone, and you will please none”. And it’s more than true. We can’t please everyone around. You need to live life for yourself. Value what pleases you. Yes you have to keep others with you but that doesn’t mean that everyone around you have to be happy with you. Please few. Upset few also. There has to be a balance. And if you can’t make that balance between your people, you will have to compensate it with yourself. All will be happy, except you.

If you lose people because you couldn’t please them, don't be sad, they were never worth keeping. So, if you are affected with this complex, get yourself cured now. There is no medicine. All you need is to live for yourself and try to be yourself.

How big is the universe?

2008-02-07T04:41:00.000+05:30

Most of the times we are stuck in our own life problems. Whenever I encounter some problem I try to think something big on the scale of universe and cosmos. Try to think on this scale is not less then a revolution for me.

Have you ever thought exactly how big is the UNIVERSE? As we all know the universe is constantly expanding in all directions, therefore its size cannot be stated. Scientists think it contains approximately 100 billion galaxies with each galaxy containing between 100 and 200 billion star systems. Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is average when compared with other galaxies. It is a disk-shaped spiral galaxy of about 100,000 light-years in diameter.

If the age of universe is only 13.7 billion years, how can we see objects that are 30 billion light-years away?

This question is essentially answered by Special Relativity. When talking about the distance of a moving object, we mean the spatial separation now, with the positions of us and the object specified at the current time. In an expanding universe, this distance is now larger than the speed of light times the light travel time due to the increase of separations between objects, as the universe expands. It does not mean that any object in the universe travels faster than light.

I hope with this post you also might be getting some feel like me by forgetting your life affairs.

The prerequisites of life

2008-02-01T04:08:00.000+05:30

Have you ever thought how do you initiate your acts? First you imagine and contemplate them amazingly then you follow your thoughts.

Thoughts lead to acts.
Acts lead to habits.
Habits lead to character.
Character determines our eternal destiny.

Other way round our thoughts determine our reality and hence Thoughts Determine Destiny.

Right now, what are you thinking about?

Could you help it making more positive?

Change in Life

2008-01-28T16:07:00.000+05:30

Internet has changed our way of life. Internet is the revolution in Information Technology. Thanks to this technology which gives me opportunity to express globally whatever I think. Every thing has got its pros and cons so do internet. The internet has given us comfortable opportunity to be in the sedentary mode which leads to an adverse effect to our health.

To access any information which required some leg work has now condensed to few mouse clicks. This latest trend has to be adopted with essential changes in our routine. Some science fiction has portrayed the structure of evolved man as an ugly fat big headed person with long fingers of hands having less muscular arms and legs.

Now this is up to us,

What kind of change in our life we do?

A Loss Business

2008-01-26T15:48:00.000+05:30

Choosing cigarette smoke is taking up to commit gradual suicide at the cost of momentary joy. It is really distressing watching people choosing this path. In today’s scenario the air that we breathe today is filled with ozone, nitrogen oxides and fuel emissions which causes of cough.

The first line of defence against these pro-oxidants is called epithelial lining fluids. From your nose to the tip of your lungs the cells are covered with thick mucous linings. The epithelial cells also have cilia, which form a very fine brush. The brush border sweeps back outside the inhaled foreign particles which may include bacteria and viruses. The mucous, cilia and underlying epithelia form first line of defence and is extraordinary effective in preventing infections. The natural protection of lungs is so effective that most of the time these pollutants do not come in contact with the epithelial line. All these work together to neutralize all the pollutants we inhale and thus protect underlying lung tissue. Vitamin C is the most prominent anti oxidant in this protective fluid lining. It is not only an important antioxidant in this fluid but also has the ability to regenerate the other essential components (Vitamin E and Glucothione).

Exposure to airborne pollutants can overwhelm the antioxidant system found in this protective lining. When this happens an inflammatory immune response occours. The fluids in the lining of the lungs become very thick as the immune response attracts in many white cells that attack the invading pollutants. Initially invaders are quickly cleared out but later on an inability to to terminate or control the inflammatory response can cause marked damage to the lung tissue and impair function. The chronic inflammation is the lung causes significant fatigue and a depleted immune system. Researchs conducted over the past decade has since deduced that the underlying cause of aasthma and many chronic lung disease is the result of oxidative stress.

Happiness - A Perception

2008-01-24T17:28:00.000+05:30

Life is the most precious thing in the world. I am not putting forward a new thought, every one already knows it. Life is a journey and all of us are bound to move ahead in some way. We can never stop the time machine, even if we try doing so. Life is also about perceptions, and in many ways life itself is a perception.

How about keeping an eye on your thoughts and perceptions?

There are many ways in which we can live our life, but each one of us does it in only one way. Perception is a base of how we perceive things; we behave accordingly and the integration of our day to day behaviour becomes our life. All of us are trying to lead our lives in the best possible way. But that is not enough. Along with that, we should also have check on our perceptions by practice of conscious effort. We should give respect to other's point of view. How we live our life is, in the ultimate analysis, the effect of the way we perceive the things.

I never thought of this concept until one of my friends discussed it with me. I found it to be quite significant, as one's world is linked with his or her perceptions, and these , in turn, are directly linked with observing capacity of ones mind. How we conceive anything is a subject for study in itself, and an interesting one at that.

It is said in some Buddhist teachings that at any particular moment our mind has the probability of acting in 3600 different ways but the manifestation is in only one way. Our selection of one action out of the 3600 different choices available to us is what represents us.

The significance of this concept lies in the fact that we can, in some ways, keep a check on our manifested choice. The conflict in the ideas of different people is a result of their different manifested choices. Most people are always satisfied with their choice or conviction. And once the choice is made, it is really hard for us to accept the choices made by others. Being confident and happy with our decisions is a good thing, but what should be kept in mind is that their might be some other ways by which we are happier, and we even make others happy.

Unknowingly, or deliberately, our main purpose is to be happy and stay that way for our entire lives.

Happy Go Lucky

2008-01-12T18:16:00.000+05:30

This is in continuation to the previous post and is to promote thoughts of Professor Richard Wiseman, University of Hertfordshire

He gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, and asked them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside. He had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper saying: "Tell the experimenter you have seen this and win £250."

This message took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches high. He was staring everyone straight in the face, but the unlucky people tended to miss it and the lucky people tended to spot it. Unlucky people are generally tenser than lucky people, and this anxiety disrupts their ability to notice the unexpected.

As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else. They go to parties intent on finding their perfect partner and so miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through newspapers determined to find certain types of job advertisements and miss other types of jobs.

Lucky people are more relaxed and open , and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for. My research eventually revealed that lucky people generate good fortune via four principles. They are skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition, create self-fulfilling prophesies via positive expectations, and adopt a resilient attitude that transforms bad luck into good.

He asked a group of volunteers to spend a month carrying out exercises designed to help them think and behave like a lucky person. Dramatic results these exercises helped them spot chance opportunities, listen to their intuition, expect to be lucky, and be more resilient to bad luck. One month later, the volunteers returned and described what had happened. The results were dramatic: 80% of people were now happier, more satisfied with their lives and, perhaps most important of all, luckier.

Getting Luckier

2008-01-07T18:53:00.000+05:30

Why do some people get all the luck while some don't get the breaks they deserve?

A psychologist says he has discovered the answer:

This post is to promote thoughts of Professor Richard Wiseman, University of Hertfordshire

Ten years ago, He set out to examine luck. He wanted to know why some people are always in the right place at the right time, while others consistently experience ill fortune. He placed advertisements in national newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky to contact me.

Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for his research work and over the years, He interviewed them, monitored their lives and had them take part in experiments.

The results reveal that although these people have almost no insight into the causes of their luck, their thoughts and behavior are responsible for much of their good and bad fortune. Take the case of seemingly chance opportunities. Lucky people consistently encounter such opportunities, whereas unlucky people do not.

He carried out a simple experiment to discover whether this was due to differences in their ability to spot such opportunities.

Towards the end of the work, He wondered whether these principles could be used to create good luck. He asked a group of volunteers to spend a month carrying out exercises designed to help them think and behave like a lucky person.

An Endeavor for Psychosomatics

2008-01-07T17:01:00.000+05:30

Along with evolution blogging I will be sharing some of intersting case studies from my dairy. I and my some of my known ones have practically encountered these incidents during the journey of life. Most of these cases are regarding the Complex Human Behaviors & I tried a little to comprehend it by applying Psychosomatic Engineering at our level best...

I have'nt got any formal education in the subject of Psychology but I was laways keen on observing it in my sorroundings.

This is the begin of Year 2008. This is my space to express. I am glad to write here... I have got many plans to create this kind of journal, lets see together what is hidden there in the stomach of future. As of now my plan for this journal is to post a case study on every weekend from my surroundings along with the problem definition and how it would had gone under ideal cirumstances.

Resolution

2008-01-01T17:33:00.000+05:30

This is the perfect time of the year for resolutions, so here we are with some tips which will help you to stick to your resolutions.

1. Don’t skip resolution as you think you won’t be able to stick to them. Remember every one is struggling to Change for Good. You are equally eligible to resolve and your little endeavor can make a significant change in shaping your life.

2. Don’t be blurred about your resolutions; clearly define and jot them down in your personal diary. (In case you don’t have a personal diary, go and get a good one for yourself.)

3. Remind yourself of your resolutions constantly, and plan how you are going to implement them.

4. Identify your habits that may be barriers to the new resolutions.

5. Have a plan to overcome these barriers - renegotiation with yourself may be needed.

6. Analyze yourself critically almost everyday on how you are faring with respect to the New Year resolution. Do not forget to take corrective measures immediately.

7. Do not be a perfectionist -few slip ups are OK. Don't give up because of the slip ups. Expect resistance and disinterest in you initially. It is normal to have resistance.

8. Allow a months time for the new habit to set in.

9. Don’t keep yourself aloof, take the support of your close ones to help you to build this new habit.

10. Allow time before the fun begins. Enjoy the fun and the feel good when it occurs. Nurture the fun and talk about it to others.

Hope these steps will help you. Wishing all of you a very Happy New Year, 2008!

An old man lived alone in a village. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:

Dear Son,

I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden, because your mother always loved planting time. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren't in prison.

Love,

Dad

Shortly, the old man received this telegram: "For Heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up the garden!! That's where I buried the GUNS!!" At 4 a.m.

The next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns.

Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened, and asked him what to do next.

His son's reply was: "Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad.. It's the best I could do for you from here."

Moral:

No matter where you are in the world, if you have decided to do something deep from your heart you can do it. it is the thought that matters. not where you are or where the person is.

How to Survive Cardiac Arrest

2007-12-02T14:46:00.000+05:30

Have you ever experienced severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. Even if you are at five minutes drive from the nearest hospital you can't afford to reach there. You don't know to what and how to perform on yourself for immediate rescue.

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.

Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital. Tell as many other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!! A cardiologist says if everyone who reads this article out of 10 people; we'll save at least one life.

Need of this blog

2007-11-01T15:42:00.000+05:30

I believe the need of this blog was the restrictions I was having on my wordpress blog http://humanrevolution.in. A blogger blog offers you many services free of cost which you can enjoy as good as professionals blogger. Secondly I was confined to a subject. Revolution Hour has been given birth to expand my world and to get slightly proffesional.

I seem to be fascinate by the Revolution word. This is my conviction that I was a revolutionizer in my previous life.

Hope to write something constructive.
Thanks for all your support and encouragement.

Heaven on earth

2007-10-28T18:42:00.000+05:30

Modern life of cities & towns filled with most of the material enjoyment is lacking the spiritual delight and in this fast scenario we are swayed away by it, without getting any time to contemplate much.

The heavenly hush of this beautiful evening with the vast blue sky on which some little clouds at the horizon, countless smiling stars in the background, at the horizon ice tops of Majestic Himalayas (Chud Chandani) makes my place a divine paradise.
Looking at this treasure of wealthy environment it seems that the artist has poured all its pleasures into the canvas. Every bit of Mother Nature fills my heart with divine romance.

This pious feel in this cosmos makes our struggling life quite undemanding. This time of my life is in fact very joyful and to a certain extent I have put an endeavor to feel so by analysing my joy with some acts which I wish to share with you in my weblog. This joy can’t be measured with words but simply can be experienced by fixing some small acts to be performed during the cycle of the day.

In the fourth decade of my life I have experienced this joy by carrying out some experiments through way of life. I will be enlisting most of them, by doing so I shall be making my entire pledges firm and you’ll be getting a glass to have glance into it.
This all inspires me to write. This era in Time Machine mesmerises and gives me this wonderful opportunity to share the same with you…
Love you all there…

Hi, I welcome you warmly to the revolution Hour. This is the most difficult page for me to write. In this era of time machine I am mesmerized to post all this stuff to an unknown reader. I come from the hills of North India. Blogging has become my passion. I believe myself to be fortunate that by profession I am into Information Technology. One of my fantasies is to attain a Doctorate and publish my own books. The only introduction to me is that I am an IT professional and still kid at heart.

This is a platform where I have the vanity to share my own perspective which revolutionizes me and to believe that strangers will definitely want to read me I hope that you enjoyed staying on my posts. Thanks for making an effort to reach me out here.

Cheers

Why Blog

2007-09-02T16:43:00.000+05:30

Writing is creative, let me first of all share that I am not a writer instead a mediocre reader. Now why should I tell anyone to handle any problem or issue in some particular fashion?

My Blog is my take on the respective issues. This is just like compiling Mind Food. I wish at least to give an attempt to handle issues this ways. The complied practices are my endeavour to attain perfection. Altogether somewhere if this practice can assist anyone I do not have any problem. One of my fantasies is to create a complete volume of self help techniques for myself.

Thanks to the era in which I am writing all this stuff Online. Blogging has given me a wonderful experience to find out a different dimension with in me and I am grateful for it.

While I am never sure of who reads and why. I believe that my writing is successful because it gives people the opportunity to read and I can refer to all my posts whenever I have time, some times I really wonder the power of archiving they make every post so easy to access.

I like blogging because there is lot of freedom of expression and reach. Furthermore you do not have to sell your ideas to anyone. I write because I firmly believe or want to believe in it. Though, I believe that I can write on a variety of subjects. I have crystal clear objective. I want to make a difference in people’s lives and I feel that blogging could help me there. I know it seems too huge ambition but quantity is not everything. Even if an article of mine helps one individual in a small way I feel happy.

If you find any content of the Blog distasteful, it’s solely a problem of dimension may be any one or both of us are not aware of the realistic angle. But of course we can be benefited out of it by appending it into the remarks section. I feel delighted from reading a comment. Even if it is just one comment, it adds an opinion to my article, makes me see things from a different point of view. It helps me grow as a person. This is something I never got while doing any thing else.

Cheers!

revolution Hour

2007-09-02T14:14:00.000+05:30

In our lives we land at a point where each one of us does feel taking some kind revolution in his or her life to make the difference, but the question here is how long one can stay in that state of revolution? That phase for sure is ephemeral. Most of the time it lasts so quickly that by the time we retrospect our revolution it gets diluted to be executed or initiated. It has got the reason, we have been victimized (rather paralyzed) by the comforts provided by modern age.

Most of the times when I witness someone just passing its time, a thought permeates and I use to assume that if some day we were put into jail then after attaining a stage of boredom and frustration we would definitely like to pray or beg to get rid of there and wish to do lot many things. As a matter of fact we are not different to that jailed person; we have put ourselves into the big jails of our mind and have tied ourselves with so many shackles of thoughts to confine our capabilities. All of us are wearing the earth suits bestowed to us by Mother Nature. All of us are sailing across this life presuming that we are not going to last forever. All the compiled nonsense we take as commonsense

Just think as if you are at the climax moments of your life and are looking for just single opportunity again. How piteous! Let’s break our barricades right here and do all we can, for good with wisdom. Always remember the concision of life, the certainty of death, and the span of eternity. We are not going to live forever in these ‘Earth Suits’. They will wear out, and then one day we will liberate. The idea of revolution hour is with intent, “May we all live completely until we die”.

The important thing is not where you were or where you are but where you want to get. Our idea is to establish revolution Hour as a place where whenever you feel revolutionized you can check and find out the corresponding article to relate your situation to. Most of the ideas are related to life some of these have been taken from some books whose references are added. No spiritual and religious issues are discussed here; any materialistic idea or practice which can bring a revolution in the life of individual for good irrespective of its magnitude is eligible to be published.

There are many individuals who have come together directly or indirectly to make this Blog a reality and whom we greatly appreciate. I express my deepest thanks to one and all. I request you to help us forwarding this revolution and become part of revolution Hour by sending your ideas, experiences or articles on revolution hour on email ID: editor.revolution@gmail.com

Forgiving of other's Mistakes

2007-09-01T15:26:00.000+05:30

Everyone was a network newbie once. And not everyone has had the benefit of reading this book. So when someone makes a mistake -- whether it's a spelling error or a spelling flame, a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer -- be kind about it. If it's a minor error, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before reacting. Having good manners yourself doesn't give you license to correct everyone else.

If you do decide to inform someone of a mistake, point it out politely, and preferably by private email rather than in public. Give people the benefit of the doubt; assume they just don't know any better. And never be arrogant or self-righteous about it. Just as it's a law of nature that spelling flames always contain spelling errors, notes pointing out Netiquette violations are often examples of poor Netiquette.

Don't abuse your power

2007-09-01T15:25:00.000+05:30

Some people in cyberspace have more power than others. There are wizards in MUDs (multi-user dungeons), experts in every office, and system administrators in every system.

Knowing more than others, or having more power than they do, does not give you the right to take advantage of them. For example, System Administrators should never read private email.

Respect other people's privacy

2007-09-01T15:23:00.000+05:30

Of course, you'd never dream of going through your colleagues' desk drawers. So naturally you wouldn't read their email either.

Unfortunately, a lot of people would. This topic actually rates a separate section. For now, here's a cautionary tale. I call it

The case of the snoopy foreign correspondent

In 1993, a highly regarded foreign correspondent in the Moscow bureau of the Los Angeles Times was caught reading his coworkers' email. His colleagues became suspicious when system records showed that someone had logged in to check their email at times when they knew they hadn't been near the computer. So they set up a sting operation. They planted false information in messages from another one of the paper's foreign bureaus. The reporter read the notes and later asked colleagues about the false information. Bingo! As a disciplinary measure, he was immediately reassigned to another position at the paper's Los Angeles bureau.

The moral:

Failing to respect other people's privacy is not just bad Netiquette. It could also cost you your job.

Keep flame wars under control

2007-09-01T15:22:00.000+05:30

"Flaming" is what people do when they express a strongly held opinion without holding back any emotion. It's the kind of message that makes people respond, "Oh come on, tell us how you really feel." Tact is not its objective.

Does Netiquette forbid flaming? Not at all. Flaming is a long-standing network tradition (and Netiquette never messes with tradition). Flames can be lots of fun, both to write and to read. And the recipients of flames sometimes deserve the heat.

But Netiquette does forbid the perpetuation of flame wars -- series of angry letters, most of them from two or three people directed toward each other, that can dominate the tone and destroy the camaraderie of a discussion group. It's unfair to the other members of the group. And while flame wars can initially be amusing, they get boring very quickly to people who aren't involved in them. They're an unfair monopolization of bandwidth.

Share expert knowledge

2007-09-01T15:21:00.000+05:30

Finally, after all that negativity, some positive advice.

The strength of cyberspace is in its numbers. The reason asking questions online works is that a lot of knowledgeable people are reading the questions. And if even a few of them offer intelligent answers, the sum total of world knowledge increases. The Internet itself was founded and grew because scientists wanted to share information. Gradually, the rest of us got in on the act.

So do your part. Despite the long lists of no-no's in this book, you do have something to offer. Don't be afraid to share what you know.

It's especially polite to share the results of your questions with others. When you anticipate that you'll get a lot of answers to a question, or when you post a question to a discussion group that you don't visit often, it's customary to request replies by email instead of to the group. When you get all those responses, write up a summary and post it to the discussion group. That way, everyone benefits from the experts who took the time to write to you.

If you're an expert yourself, there's even more you can do. Many people freely post all kinds of resource lists and bibliographies, from lists of online legal resources to lists of popular UNIX books. If you're a leading participant in a discussion group that lacks a FAQ, consider writing one. If you've researched a topic that you think would be of interest to others, write it up and post it. See "Copyright in Cyberspace" on page 133 for a few words on the copyright implications of posting research.

Sharing your knowledge is fun. It's a long-time net tradition. And it makes the world a better place.

Make yourself look good Online

2007-09-01T15:18:00.000+05:30

Take advantage of your anonymity

I don't want to give the impression that the net is a cold, cruel place full of people who just can't wait to insult each other. As in the world at large, most people who communicate online just want to be liked. Networks -- particularly discussion groups -- let you reach out to people you'd otherwise never meet. And none of them can see you. You won't be judged by the color of your skin, eyes, or hair, your weight, your age, or your clothing.

You will, however, be judged by the quality of your writing. For most people who choose to communicate online, this is an advantage; if they didn't enjoy using the written word, they wouldn't be there. So spelling and grammar do count.

If you're spending a lot of time on the net and you're shaky in these areas, it's worth brushing up on them. There are plenty of books available, but you'll learn more -- and possibly have more fun -- if you take a course. If you're an older adult , you don't have to take a "bonehead grammar" course with a bunch of bored teenagers. Instead, look for courses on proofreading and copyediting; they usually cover the basic rules of grammar pretty thoroughly, and they'll be filled with motivated students who are there because they want to be. Check your local community college and university extension catalogs -- you'll be amazed at what they offer. A side benefit is that taking courses involves meeting people you can actually see.

Know what you're talking about and make sense

Pay attention to the content of your writing. Be sure you know what you're talking about -- when you see yourself writing "it's my understanding that" or "I believe it's the case," ask yourself whether you really want to post this note before checking your facts. Bad information propagates like wildfire on the net. And once it's been through two or three iterations, you get the same distortion effect as in the party game "Operator": Whatever you originally said may be unrecognizable. (Of course, you could take this as a reason not to worry about the accuracy of your postings. But you're only responsible for what you post yourself, not for what anyone else does with it.)

In addition, make sure your notes are clear and logical. It's perfectly possible to write a paragraph that contains no errors in grammar or spelling, but still makes no sense whatsoever. This is most likely to happen when you're trying to impress someone by using a lot of long words that you don't really understand yourself. Trust me -- no one worth impressing will be impressed. It's better to keep it simple.

Don't post flame-bait

Finally, be pleasant and polite. Don't use offensive language, and don't be confrontational for the sake of confrontation.

Q. Is swearing acceptable on the net?

Only in those areas where sewage is considered an art form, e.g., the USENET newsgroup alt.tasteless. Usually, if you feel that cursing in some form is required, it's preferable to use amusing euphemisms like "effing" and "sugar." You may also use the classic asterisk filler -- for example, s***. The archness is somehow appropriate to the net, and you avoid offending anyone needlessly. And everyone will know exactly what you mean.

Respect other's Time & Bandwidth

2007-09-01T15:17:00.000+05:30

It's a cliché that people today seem to have less time than ever before, even though (or perhaps because) we sleep less and have more labor-saving devices than our grandparents did. When you send email or post to a discussion group, you're taking up other people's time (or hoping to). It's your responsibility to ensure that the time they spend reading your posting isn't wasted.

The word "bandwidth" is sometimes used synonymously with time, but it's really a different thing. Bandwidth is the information-carrying capacity of the wires and channels that connect everyone in cyberspace. There's a limit to the amount of data that any piece of wiring can carry at any given moment -- even a state-of-the-art fiber-optic cable. The word "bandwidth" is also sometimes used to refer to the storage capacity of a host system. When you accidentally post the same note to the same newsgroup five times, you are wasting both time (of the people who check all five copies of the posting) and bandwidth (by sending repetitive information over the wires and requiring it to be stored somewhere).

You are not the center of cyberspace

Presumably, this reminder will be superfluous to most readers. But I include it anyway, because when you're working hard on a project and deeply involved in it, it's easy to forget that other people have concerns other than yours. So don't expect instant responses to all your questions, and don't assume that all readers will agree with -- or care about -- your passionate arguments.

Rules for discussion groups

Rule 4 has a number of implications for discussion group users. Most discussion group readers are already spending too much time sitting at the computer; their significant others, families, and roommates are drumming their fingers, wondering when to serve dinner, while those network maniacs are catching up on the latest way to housebreak a puppy or cook zucchini.

And many news-reading programs are slow, so just opening a posted note or article can take a while. Then the reader has to wade through all the header information to get to the meat of the message. No one is pleased when it turns out not to be worth the trouble. See "Netiquette for Discussion Groups" on page 65 for detailed rules.

To whom should messages be directed? (Or why "mailing list" could become a dirty word)

In the old days, people made copies with carbon paper. You could only make about five legible copies. So you thought good and hard about who you wanted to send those five copies to.

Today, it's as easy to copy practically anyone on your mail as it is not to. And we sometimes find ourselves copying people almost out of habit. In general, this is rude. People have less time than ever today, precisely because they have so much information to absorb. Before you copy people on your messages, ask yourself whether they really need to know. If the answer is no, don't waste their time. If the answer is maybe, think twice before you hit the send key.

Know - Where you are?

2007-09-01T15:16:00.000+05:30

Netiquette varies from domain to domain

What's perfectly acceptable in one area may be dreadfully rude in another. For example, in most TV discussion groups, passing on idle gossip is perfectly permissible. But throwing around unsubstantiated rumors in a journalists' mailing list will make you very unpopular there.

And because Netiquette is different in different places, it's important to know where you are. Thus the next corollary:

Lurk before you leap

When you enter a domain of cyberspace that's new to you, take a look around. Spend a while listening to the chat or reading the archives. Get a sense of how the people who are already there act. Then go ahead and participate.

Standards of Behaviour

2007-09-01T15:15:00.000+05:30

In real life, most people are fairly law-abiding, either by disposition or because we're afraid of getting caught. In cyberspace, the chances of getting caught sometimes seem slim. And, perhaps because people sometimes forget that there's a human being on the other side of the computer, some people think that a lower standard of ethics or personal behavior is acceptable in cyberspace.

The confusion may be understandable, but these people are mistaken. Standards of behavior may be different in some areas of cyberspace, but they are not lower than in real life.

Be ethical

Don't believe anyone who says, "The only ethics out there are what you can get away with." This is a book about manners, not about ethics. But if you encounter an ethical dilemma in cyberspace, consult the code you follow in real life. Chances are good you'll find the answer.

One more point on Netiquette ethics: If you use shareware, pay for it. Paying for shareware encourages more people to write shareware. The few dollars probably won't mean much to you, and they benefit all of cyberspace in the long run.

Breaking the law is bad Netiquette

If you're tempted to do something that's illegal in cyberspace, chances are it's also bad Netiquette.

Some laws are obscure or complicated enough that it's hard to know how to follow them. And in some cases, we're still establishing how the law applies to cyberspace. Two examples are the laws on privacy (see Rule 8 and "Email Privacy -- a Grand Illusion" on page 125) and copyright (see "Copyright in Cyberspace" on page 133).

Again, this is a book on manners, not a legal manual. But Netiquette mandates that you do your best to act within the laws of society and cyberspace.

Remember the Human

2007-09-01T15:13:00.000+05:30

The golden rule your parents and your kindergarten teacher taught you was pretty simple: Do unto others as you'd have others do unto you. Imagine how you'd feel if you were in the other person's shoes. Stand up for yourself, but try not to hurt people's feelings.

In cyberspace, we state this in an even more basic manner: Remember the human.

When you communicate electronically, all you see is a computer screen. You don't have the opportunity to use facial expressions, gestures, and tone of voice to communicate your meaning; words -- lonely written words -- are all you've got. And that goes for your correspondent as well.

When you're holding a conversation online -- whether it's an email exchange or a response to a discussion group posting -- it's easy to misinterpret your correspondent's meaning. And it's frighteningly easy to forget that your correspondent is a person with feelings more or less like your own.

It's ironic, really. Computer networks bring people together who'd otherwise never meet. But the impersonality of the medium changes that meeting to something less -- well, less personal. Humans exchanging email often behave the way some people behind the wheel of a car do: They curse at other drivers, make obscene gestures, and generally behave like savages. Most of them would never act that way at work or at home. But the interposition of the machine seems to make it acceptable.

The message of Netiquette is that it's not acceptable. Yes, use your network connections to express yourself freely, explore strange new worlds, and boldly go where you've never gone before. But remember the Prime Directive of Netiquette: Those are real people out there.

Would you say it to the person's face?

Writer and Macintosh evangelist Guy Kawasaki tells a story about getting email from some fellow he's never met. Online, this fellow tells Guy that he's a bad writer with nothing interesting to say.

Unbelievably rude? Yes, but unfortunately, it happens all the time in cyberspace.

Maybe it's the awesome power of being able to send mail directly to a well-known writer like Guy. Maybe it's the fact that you can't see his face crumple in misery as he reads your cruel words. Whatever the reason, it's incredibly common.

Guy proposes a useful test for anything you're about to post or mail: Ask yourself, "Would I say this to the person's face?" If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you'd feel as comfortable saying these words to the live person as you do sending them through cyberspace.

Of course, it's possible that you'd feel great about saying something extremely rude to the person's face. In that case, Netiquette can't help you. Go get a copy of Miss Manners' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior.

Another reason not to be offensive online

When you communicate through cyberspace -- via email or on discussion groups -- your words are written. And chances are they're stored somewhere where you have no control over them. In other words, there's a good chance they can come back to haunt you.

Never forget the story of famous email user Oliver North. Ollie, you'll remember, was a great devotee of the White House email system, PROFS. He diligently deleted all incriminating notes he sent or received. What he didn't realize was that, somewhere else in the White House, computer room staff were equally diligently backing up the mainframe where his messages were stored. When he went on trial, all those handy backup tapes were readily available as evidence against him.

Introduction - Netiquette

2007-09-01T15:11:00.000+05:30

What is Netiquette? Simply stated, it's network etiquette -- that is, the etiquette of cyberspace. And "etiquette" means "the forms required by good breeding or prescribed by authority to be required in social or official life." In other words, Netiquette is a set of rules for behaving properly online.

When you enter any new culture -- and cyberspace has its own culture -- you're liable to commit a few social blunders. You might offend people without meaning to. Or you might misunderstand what others say and take offense when it's not intended. To make matters worse, something about cyberspace makes it easy to forget that you're interacting with other real people -- not just ASCII characters on a screen, but live human characters.

So, partly as a result of forgetting that people online are still real, and partly because they don't know the conventions, well-meaning cybernauts, especially new ones, make all kinds of mistakes.

The book Netiquette has a dual purpose: to help net newbies minimize their mistakes, and to help experienced cyberspace travelers help the newbies. The premise of the book is that most people would rather make friends than enemies, and that if you follow a few basic rules, you're less likely to make the kind of mistakes that will prevent you from making friends.

The list of core rules below, and the explanations that follow, are excerpted from the book. They are offered here as a set of general guidelines for cyberspace behavior. They won't answer all your Netiquette questions. But they should give you some basic principles to use in solving your own Netiquette dilemmas.
