An Immune India

Among all the selfless desires cherished by human race, there are very few which have remained constant since eternity and one of those is the desire to have healthier offspring in terms of body as well as mind. Every generation wishes well for the next generation and wants them to be healthy, wealthy, safe and happy.

As much as we want to leave a better planet for our children, the reality is that the planet and the environment is increasingly becoming more and more hostile because of the lifestyle we, as human beings, have espoused. The impact of mining, power generation, transportation, air conditioners and so many other industries is catastrophic on environment and resulting in more and more contaminants and imbalances in the nature. But then, this lifestyle cannot be overturned suddenly so that leaves us with the only option of preparing and building ourselves and our kids strong against such threats.

There is another aspect of immunity which we must think about for our kids. The immunity of body against the viruses and bacteria is important but equally important is to immune them against the base thoughts which are corrupting the minds of tiny ones. The lack of respect for women and elders, the power of money, the arrogance, violence and so many other such wrong notions are attacking the fledgling minds of our youngsters and so it becomes our responsibility to protect our children from that as well.

Thankfully immunizing the body is easy because nature itself provides the solution in form of herbs and plants. The rishis of old times have found the right herbs for us and we have preserved this knowledge in the form of Ayurveda. Chyawanprash is one such Ayurvedic mixture of herbs which is extremely effective in strengthening the immune system and fighting all sorts of bacteria, viruses and infections. It acts in a pre-emptive manner against illnesses rather than trying to curb illness after it has occurred like the medicines work.

It was recently in news that a research has found that the allopathic medicines are becoming less effective against the more powerful drug-resistant bacteria and viruses spawning in the environment. That makes a product like Dabur Chyawanprash even more relevant and important and should be consumed regularly. It is an outstanding brew of all the natural herbs and has got no side-effects, tastes good and so could be easily incorporated in anyone’s even our kids’ daily diet.

Sadly there is no straightforward one teaspoon Chyawanprash twice a day like remedy for menaces attacking young minds and we have to lead by example here to let our kids inculcate the right values and way of living. We need heroes today more than ever, we need more heroes like Sachin Tendulkar, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Narayanmurthy who have worked extremely hard, got tremendous success but never let that success or power go off their head. They are still humble, polite and good to others. Sachin’s respect for his parents, family, friends and fans was so evident and heart-touching in his retirement speech. We need to act in a same manner and give our kids the right ideas that is work hard and no matter what, respect and love everyone.

I feel the concept of Immune India could only be a reality when both these goals are achieved that is providing our kids the right things to eat as well as setting for them the right examples to follow. We need to nourish the body as well as mind of our children. Let us start doing it right from our home and society and make efforts towards realizing this dream of Immune India for our lovely generations to come.

Wish you all a very Happy New Year!!

It's time to exchange Christmas and new year wishes with love and cheerful joy but most importantly it's time to sit back and retrospect everything attached with you and this soon gonna be yesteryear, remember all the deeds, misdeeds and experiences, make suitable lessons out of everything and keep those in the most secret but active vault as that will definitely make the coming year better of passing one. Cherish it and let the past go and allow the fading moonlight to sublimate every dust particle on your mind or body and get ready to welcome a beautiful dawn with new vigor and confidence. Have a resolution that you'll never flinch in accepting anything better or abandoning anything worse.

Going little off the topic, I wish to mention about the discussion i had with my close friend over "the extent to which fate, karma and extras hold the grip upon anything or everything happening in life". Here extras are just the blessings of elders or wellwishers, in a way it's the transfer of fruits to your account though reaped through their karma and fate. Before you oppugn the presence of any of those three, try to answer few questions in mind.

Is there any way to ponder over others' sorrows in the most ecstatic moments or feel light while facing never-ending visitations only by catching someone's eye glowing with joy or to abate the trials and tribulations anyone has to confront or to siphon the fortune of good times to tough periods or to change the course of fate with sheer grit and perseverance or to herald the occurence of an event with infallible certainty. To my cognition, the answer is negative for everything asked above as it's difficult to feel or change only at will due to extreme but impalpable randomness scattered all around with every little footstep having so many dependencies.

The analogy I came up with to get my thinking across was like that every event is a kind of race where fate is nothing but a headstart presented to us according to our previous births' unrealized acts and remember this headstart can be negative as well. Now to accomplish or to win the race, we need to do karma which is running as fast as possible and touching the finishline. In a race there can be multiple external factors like wind speed, pebbles buttressing or countermining our dream run. These factors are extras and a part of fate which we carry all through the way. I believe there is no one who gets the chance to start from finishline which means even the luckiest person on earth has to open his eyes to see the beauty around. In a similar fashion, there is no one who is forced to stand so behind that he cant cover the negative headstart through his efforts. Have faith always in yourself as you are the master of your destiny and the writing of fate is never made with indelible ink. We are not inanimate objects or machines or mindless souls who are always directed by some external push, we are someone well equipped to endure these pushes and define our path and that control is nothing but our mind.

Words and thoughts are powerful, so better mean it whenever you speak, write or feel them. A beautiful thought can change your day or even your life so better arrange your thoughts and words carefully. In the end, here is my coiffured wish for all of you on this joyous occasion -

May God bestows upon you a new passion to stretch your limits a step further to recognize and achieve the cause you are here for.

Happy Diwali!!

Ushering the righteous path with hues of sapience to a perturbed soul is what Diwali brings forth even to most wayward mind. Try showing your lantern to get others' way out of murk and in turn feel an obscure but strong force guiding you upright and believe me it's a beacon illuminating brightly in ur deep inner recesses assimilating oil only from such heart-led deeds.

Needless to say, this blog entry is just to mark my resurgence and not a part of story series. I have no idea what kept me away for so long but experiences, I had of late, were conspicuously different though very enriching. Emotions n experiences are
like herbs n spices and life is much more fun when it regales a gamut of spices to our gustatory sensations n wat we need to learn only is to distinuish n relish them all. Ahhhh I feel great now, it's gud to try, it's better to get apprised of striking realities and it's best to defend when u find ur feet tottering on lower grounds.

Though I never liked philosophy or anything which sounds even remotely like preaching but perhaps I am undergoing a transition as I wish to write on something absolutely abstract :P.

Are u aware of the difference between 'childlike' and 'childish'? Why I am asking that is because even though the demarcation is not so subtle still I readily cross it. Both words relate one's activities to a child but while 'childlike' has an endearing flair(A PRIYANSHU :D) clasped affectionately n anybody loves to witness the carrying out of such an action or to touch this flower irrespective of the performer being a child or not, on the other hand 'childish' is something encircled boldly with strings of pique n annoyance and anyone but a child itself is never expected to weave such cords. The innocence ingrained all over a child's face or in his actions is more than enough to bring smile on dead cheeks and so his faults are venial but an adult, exhibiting some childlike beauties, needs to ascertain the boundary clearly and to keep safe distance from the forbidden zone of this 'childish' cage. I often take unsolicited entry to this proscribed den and inadvertently end up hurting others or myself.

Well I say sorry to all those who got disturbed, vexed or felt uneasy due to my follies and I promise not to recapitulate it in future as that's the only way to get my apology accepted in my eyes.

Coming back in jolly flavor, i'll let u know what i am dying to mention which is how much i enjoyed this diwali and thanks to all my friends who made me feel so. Something u have been waiting eagerly for long time holds enough vim and vigour to hurtle u off from any grave situation into merry-go-rounds and i felt the same. It was really gud to be with old school friends, roaming streets n places of our beloved city, drifting along the flow, having endless talks n trying to know each other better. All those moments gave me paramount pleasure and is tantamount to good school days when I loved everything n cared for nothing.

One more thing, a clamorous cry I hear in Anusha's mind so lets start giving a direction to her tale as she has passed so much time in hibernation that she is imploring for death but a champion can come out of any labyrinth and so will she.

I made a wish for my dear friend on this auspicious diwali and let me supplicate it for u all.
May this diwali illuminates ur heart n opens the vaults of glow n glee for u and confers upon u the wisdom to find apposite path to meet ur goal.

Shubh Deepawali!!

Chapter One - A shocking failure

Night beckoned and the desire to protest crumbled to pieces as her feet began to collapse under the enormous strain she had been enduring for hours.

Her defence was conceived inexpugnable among the fraternity named Silent Sodality by it's father founder, venerable among people of all ages, with a solemn pledge to purge vitiated minds across the world. He was the man of words preternaturally skilled in wielding weapons along a mental force reckoned coercive by all. His motives were clear and just and he tied everyone becoming a part of this family with a set of rules, ambits and secrets using a oath which devours your strength in case of any breach of code and conduct. The vow was never broken and the world flourished with the bravery and wits of those noble souls giving every bit for the cause but never before it was subjected to such a strenuous test in the history.

"You know you can't do it, why don't you give in? You are only lingering the inevitable." a grave voice boomed with authority but clearly sounding vexed. "Don't feel so confident," she barely emanated these words before letting herself drown in dreamworld. "I want every relevant chip of information out of her head." the crooked figure walked out dispelling aura of fiery red blaze.

Anusha's tenacity and proclivity to seclude her thoughts from her shadow even had created many problems in past but it also allowed her to transcend the ranks in her profession and she never considered impediments on the way more than petty stones thrown at rigid walls but today inspite of all efforts, the failure looked imminent nonetheless she was intended to loiter the capitulation as far as possible. The dormancy could not fade out the determination apparent on her juvenile face. She was lying on the floor with fists clenched and contorted nerves visible all over the face as if ready to knock off anyone making a faintest attempt to encroach her bulwarks. While the filthiest but cunning brains were running paces to break in, the persistent inactivity of the victim was making assault a little risky. A concorded force of nine elites of Unholy Radicals was more than sufficient to bring down any fortification but a blatant attack could prove fatal to target and they had strict orders against any such mishap. The process has to be carried out with discretion and finesse and they were all aware of it. It's like opening the proper entrance to the castle, demolition of one wrong pole may churn out havoc and an unforgivable blunder having potential enough to botch up all of their's destiny.

The plan had been chalked out keeping every minute detail in consideration and was about to be enacted. A single light knock to be pinged at every joint of exposed layer of architecture and if a vibration of inner mind comes in the reply, a link has to be made by hurtling the trojan through a infinitesimal crack opened up in the juncture via focussed lashing of mental beams against it. Now the party in there shall serve as a channel to execute subsequent attacks on newly divulged screen. The time this process may take depends wholly upon the number of layers and weaklings left while constructing the rampart itself. As the assaulters get ready to set on the mission brushing aside all the apprehensions, anusha mustered all her nerves and formed one final inscrutable armor around the information cells forcing herself in deepest slumber. This was her last hope to save the secrets though there was no coming back from the abyss she just dived in if the prior boundaries were transgressed and the enemies are faced with this last but indecipherable clue.

The discreet and powerful minds were marching incessantly to victory as none of the layer could offer stiff resistance though the time it consumed was little disheartening but then there was no other option and the rewards were too good to drop the effort. The rejoicing moment looked near and a wave of temporal relief swept above all heads. The sought after chamber was in vicinity and they were about to have unauthorised access to it when one of them shouted "We should have a knock in anticipation of some invisible fence." and everybody backed him up with hushing approval. So the procedure was repeated and they felt a sensation of assuagement when the knock replied from all around the target cells. So the info cells looked approachable but when an attempt to draw the information out was made it proved futile. To an utter despair, few more otiose tries were performed. The problem was plain that there is some guarding diaphanous fence reflecting knocks from everywhere. The gravity of situation can be conceived easily as nobody knows where to shoot yet they need to decide fast as the outer links are fallible with time. After an exasperated but quick discussion, the conclusion came out to make a feeble attack over the random targets and find the crack in this final armor. With sceptic minds they proceeded to take the last hurdle down, hit places in expectation of foible in the razor edge blade but one mishandled focus of mental beams enervated the very root of neuronal structure and it started caving in and in turn her nervous system and the quintessential secrets stored within. The decisive blow was made.

Stray Thoughts..

It's good to see govt. and ISPs uplifting the ban over blogs and to get the most candid rails back on track. I have no wish to criticize this rash step of those loons as media is already flooded with contemptuous rage over it and also I reserve this page for the sole purpose to illuminate the flame within, to say my experiences, to speak truths or to tell fables.

Writing fiction, conjuring situations no one has any idea about is not so difficult but to raise dead pieces to life taking reader aback with sheer excitement is an art only geniuses do justice with. When it comes to concealing the most overt things, the gem stands out and Rowling does exactly that, I loved the way she played with the character of "Snape" throughout the series - never letting his loyalty apparent to user, fickling with the staunchest mind and keeping the obscurity around this steadfast, potent fiber till the very end so vividly is incredible by all means. Though the fact is when you like something, u can praise even a wee bit about it and when you start loving it, it's extolment sprawling all over.

Apart from this fictitious flight to imaginary world, few important events are happening in real life as well. One is the grand return of SuperMan, don't try to comprehend or relate coming few lines as none but one is able to. Well this alien is not accomodated with supranormal abilities but certainly exhibits some outstanding flairs with biking, sketching, music and elegance. I had a fortunate chance to learn this bird in my school days and I missed it with huge margin but God bestowed me an opportunity once again and this time I would make the most of it and will hopefully end up flying high right through those befuddled clouds flowing over the mountain-summits.

The sudden but joyous event is the visit of some of my golden friends at my place recently, first I got to spend some quality time with my school friends(Satya n Bhartendu) and then the arrival of my two sweetest friends(Shri n Shashi) hurled me off at cloud nine. It's so delighting, so refreshing, so pleasant and so gratifying that they came all the way to meet me, thanks buddies, u guys are gems :).

There are few more peculiar events lined up which i wish to zoom in at my next blog and one resolution pertaining my blogs is i'm soon gonna start a short story series traversing across multiple blogs. Lets hope we all gonna enjoy it and yes one more thing plz drop a comment after reading for sure as that serves a huge motivation to come here again.

Love life, it's beautiful :)

A Special Turn..

This joyous moment comes every year but not always you turn 21, not always you get wished by so many people, not always you think so hard to make things better on a new course and so the turn i've just made is especial in many more senses than mentioned above.

This 21 mark gives you all the authority to do watever possible in a legal fashion but that's of meager significance as there were never any reins to put hold on me. What makes it substantial is that it's time the feeling of seriousness, sincerity and responsibility towards life and it's every moment should start sneaking in my corpuscles. I pondered a lot over it the other day and confirmed that it's not a momentary transformation but it's something which will take form with time. But the point is when you contemplate deep on a subject, you are entitled to soak up a part of it and this feeling to take things responsibly is sorely missing in my beautiful mind :D and i crave to attach it fast with this soul.

For a change let me tell you about how the day passed. I was catching a nap at 12 midnight, 25th june when my cellphone rang and it was a delight as my mom n dad wished me for first time in the very first hour of this long day then my sis then friends and then a tight matchup between argentina n mexico then long sleep, woke up in the morning by 11 somehow :D, had the orders ready to visit the temple, followed it religiously and had the best meeting of recent times with almighty. I tried to hv a slight brush with net, orkut, mails. Then with friends, I just kept roaming here n there to get a flat for a friend in the most enjoyable weather of this season, ended up at atta market then pizza hut at nite n then bak to home to view my underpinned team's encounter at world cup. Then loads of mulling over God n my life and an ideal finish to an important day.

The way your life shapes up is very much decided by you, you do good n u get good in turn always, you work hard n u recieve rewards in turn always, you do for urself and ur life will get better, u do for others and ur life will serve it's purpose and this very name will get etched in all minds forever. I am gonna start working on this inscribe and though it's grueling but I will complete this impression one day.

My New Workplace

My stars must have been glowing bright when i decided to make a job shift and landed up here at Outworx in Noida. I think like tht now but u know feelings/views of mine possess an uncanny propensity to change very frequently :P.
It's a small company, with around 100 employees, having 10-12 projects. I am loving this place, colleagues and above all my project which is related to Internet Securities kinda thing, what i was always fond of. We all r writing blogs daily, using messenger, mails, important transfers through this virtual wire and i am enchanted with the idea to secure this transmission and in turn to break this transfer.
This place, Noida, makes me feel at home which is one more prime reason behind my soft, sweet feelings to this workplace. People here r really gud n helping and I've got some new, interesting friends. My project manager is a gem of a person, one cant stop laughing in his company, he is confident, knowledgeable and the best thing is he makes me work when required and he lets me do anything - play, chat, mail if there is no work :D. Cool team members, sensible n logical people, a lovely HR team and few young buds as trainees - wat more one can ask for :D.
The downside i can think of is like things here are less organized but that is a boon for wanderers like me. So in short i m enjoying my stay here and i'll try hard to make this stay long, productive and profitable to both - me n my company.

Regards,
Priyanshu
