Success depends on many factors. One factor that is superbly important, yet, below the radar of glamour is ‘having an abundance mentality’.

When I read this story, I was completely moved. I realized, all some people need is a friend. I am reminded of Dada Vaswani’s verse…

A morning with Anshu Gupta of Goonj

29 Views

Anshu was a journalist. He was always searching for stories. One story changed his life. He met Habib, a rickshawala, on whose hand rickshaw, these words were written, “Laawarish lash Uthanewala”. (This rickshaw is used to lift unclaimed dead bodies.)

Dearest Darling Friends, It is easier to beat a child than to raise them. It is easier to do emotional blackmail than to lift through leadership It is easier to steal than to earn it. It is easier to blame than to solve. It is easier to be distracted than to focus. It is easier to gossip than to keep secrets. It is easier to give up on commitments than to stand by them. It is easier to horde than to share. It is easier to bask in glory than to share the spotlight. It is easier to be egoistic than to be in gratitude. It is easier to be hurt than it is to forgive. It is easier to watch than to take an initiative. It is easier to be busy than to be productive. It is easier to be a part of the mob than to stand out. It is easier to find faults than to find greatness. It is easier to walk a path than to make a path. It is easier to repeat than to improve. Do you like the easier path or the other path? What does it tell you about you? With love, prayers and exceptional wishes, naren Imagine, when we wake up, we are given only what we had thanked for. www.lifeschool.co.in

Was it worth it

“Sometimes in life, is the need to win is so great, that we forget what we ARE losing? When do we realize it was NOT WORTH IT AT ALL?”

Dearest Darling Friend, Chances are you haven’t heard of Nicolo Paganini. He was a well-known and gifted nineteenth-century violinist. He was also well known as a great showman with a quick sense of humor. He would make the audience laugh and loved to regale them with his antics. There are many memorable stories about his wit and crafty tongue. However, there is one incident from his life that made him have more admirers than any other incident. It happened during a concert in Italy. He was performing before a packed house. His technique was incredible. His tone was fantastic; his audience clearly and dearly loved him. Towards the end of his concert, Paganini was astounding his audience with an unbelievable composition when suddenly one string on his violin snapped and hung limply from his instrument. A few in the front rows gasped. Paganini frowned for a micro second, shook his head, and continued to play, improvising beautifully. To everyone’s horror, immediately afterward, a second string broke. This time, Paganini did not even take a micro-second. He continued to play as if nothing had happened. Shortly thereafter, the third string too broke. Oh my god! The audience clearly was devastated by what was happening. But, Paganini was unmoved. When the third string broke, he kind of ‘smiled’. It was as if, he was talking to the creator and saying, “Aha! You are testing me. Go ahead. I am going to hang on. I won’t give up” Paganini stood there with three strings dangling from his Stradivarius. But instead of leaving the stage, Paganini stood his ground and calmly completed the difficult number on the one remaining string. He got a standing ovation. Many in the audience had tears in their eyes. Some said that evening changed their life. A few expressed, they were praying the fourth one should NOT break! Can you imagine the evening? Can you imagine and feel the goose bumps? Can you imagine the electricity in the air? Can you imagine the mental state of Paganini? Can you imagine what that evening would have done to him? Can you imagine yourself in the place of Paganini? What would you have done? Having read about this incident from his life, what would you do in life, in future when you face something disastrous? If I have to face something similar, I pray, I display the same strength and serenity Paganini displayed. I pray the same for you too. With love, prayers and exceptional wishes, naren Imagine, when we wake up, we are given only what we had thanked for. www.lifeschool.co.in

Dearest Darling Friends, Errors are mistakes we make. They are poor decisions that we would change if given a second chance. For example, let’s say, I drink and…

I Love ‘Fill in the Blanks’.

756 Views

The other day I was flipping through the books of my younger daughter Mahek (Class 9th) and I saw ‘Fill in the Blanks’. My eyes lighted up. My mind immediately traveled to my school days and I recalled how much I enjoyed doing ‘fill in the blanks’. I could almost feel the excitement and the adrenaline as real as it was 30 years ago.
