VARSON BAAD
VARSON BAAD
Yaado ka ik jhonka aaya hum say milne Varson baad
Pehle itna roye nahi thay jitna roay varson baad
Lamha lamha ghar ujra hai, mushkil say ehsaas hua
Patthar aaye varson pehle, sheeshe toote varson baad
Aaj hamari khaak pe duniya rone dhone baithi hai
Phool hue hain jaanay kaise itne saste varson baad
Bhool bhi jaao kisne tora kaise tora kyun tora
Dhoond rahe ho kya galiyon me dil ke tukre varson baad
Dastak ki ummeed lagaaye kab tak yaaro jeete hum
Kal ka wada karne waale milne aaye varson baad

benefits of positive thinking
benefits of positive thinking
Most of us have probably heard that positive thinking brings forth many advantages. I always try to start the day with a positive attitude. I have noticed that this positive attitude can really help people to cope up with whatever they do for the day. It helps people to solve the problem more easily and be calm even under bad situation.
Before, I used to worry most especially when there were difficult task to be accomplished and usually I ended up being stressed and full of anxiety. This worrying a lot before only brought more stress and problems. Under these stressful conditions, it seemed like the problems never went away.
At one point of time, I used to be a negative thinker and had been for some time. I always expected the worse and usually that is what I got. After reading many books I have changed my outlook, it seems that everything is running more smoothly now. I noticed that after I have started thinking positively my days are a whole lot better. It seems like I accomplish a lot more when I am in a positive mood. I seem to be more energetic, able to accomplish more and be able to handle whatever life throws at me with minimum stress and tension.
For the most part I have had a good life and have had no real reason to complain about what God gave me. But like most humans I always seem to want more, to do more, and to be more than what I am now. I guess it is human nature to always want more. As they say there is always this concept of wanting more has always existed and will always continue to do so. It gives us the inner drive to accomplish more.
Nowadays, I have become a firm believer in positive thinking even when things go really wrong in my life or something serious in my life that could wind up with negative results. Yet I still try to maintain a positive frame of mind that things will eventually work out in my way. This positive thinking really helps me to face my day with the right attitude and a better perspective. If everything seems dark, gray, full of negative energy and gloomy, you won't be able to notice the bountiful beauty, positive energy, etc. If you have set yourself to be sad and full of worries then this attitude will drag you down and you will not be able to give optimal performance.
Positive attitude will help a person overcome many hurdles in life. Positive thinking gives hope for a better future and better health. If you are still in the grips of negativity, then it’s time you loosened its grip by changing your attitude. Grab a few self help books and hang around people whom you consider as positive people. This will defiantly change your whole outlook in life and you will accomplish much more.

A LETTER TO EVRY INDIAN
A LETTER TO EVRY INDIAN
Why is the media here so negative?
Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our achievements?
We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why?
We are the first in milk production.
We are number one in Remote sensing satellites..
We are the second largest producer of wheat.
We are the second largest producer of rice.
Look at Dr. Sudarshan; he has transferred the tribal village into a self-sustaining, self-driving unit. There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters.. I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspaper. It was the day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert into an orchid and a granary. It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory details of killings, bombardments, deaths, were inside in the newspaper, buried among other news.
APJ Abdul Kalam at Speech1In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime.. Why are we so NEGATIVE? Another question: Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? We want foreign T.Vs, we want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology.
Why this obsession with everything imported. Do we not realize that self-respect comes with self-reliance? I was in Hyderabad giving this lecture, when a 14 year old girl asked me for my autograph. I asked her what her goal in life is. She replied: I want to live in a developed India. For her, you and I will have to build this developed India. You must proclaim. India is not an under-developed nation; it is a highly developed nation.
Do you have 10 minutes? Allow me to come back with a vengeance.
Got 10 minutes for your country? If yes, then read; otherwise, choice is yours.
YOU say that our government is inefficient.
YOU say that our laws are too old.
YOU say that the municipality does not pick up the garbage.
YOU say that the phones don't work, the railways are a joke. The airline is the worst in the world, mails never reach their destination.
YOU say that our country has been fed to the dogs and is the absolute pits.
YOU say, say and say. What do YOU do about it?
Take a person on his way to Singapore. Give him a name - 'YOURS'. Give him a face - 'YOURS'. YOU walk out of the airport and you are at your International best. In Singapore you don't throw cigarette butts on the roads or eat in the stores. YOU are as proud of their Underground links as they are. You pay $5 (approx. Rs. 60) to drive through Orchard Road (equivalent of Mahim Causeway or Pedder Road) between 5 PM and 8 PM. YOU come back to the parking lot to punch your parking ticket if you have over stayed in a restaurant or a shopping mall irrespective of your status identity… In Singapore you don't say anything, DO YOU? YOU wouldn't dare to eat in public during Ramadan, in Dubai . YOU would not dare to go out without your head covered in Jeddah.
YOU would not dare to buy an employee of the telephone exchange in London at 10 pounds (Rs.650) a month to, 'see to it that my STD and ISD calls are billed to someone else. YOU would not dare to speed beyond 55 mph (88 km/h) in Washington and then tell the traffic cop, 'Jaanta hai main kaun hoon (Do you know who I am. I am so and so's son. Take your two bucks and get lost.' YOU wouldn't chuck an empty coconut shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and New Zealand.
Why don't YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo? Why don't YOU use examination jockeys or buy fake certificates in Boston??? We are still talking of the same YOU. YOU who can respect and conform to a foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own. You who will throw papers and cigarettes on the road the moment you touch Indian ground. If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien country, why cannot you be the same here in India?
APJ Abdul Kalam at Speech2Once in an interview, the famous Ex-municipal commissioner of Bombay, Mr.Tinaikar, had a point to make. 'Rich people's dogs are walked on the streets to leave their affluent droppings all over the place,' he said. 'And then the same people turn around to criticize and blame the authorities for inefficiency and dirty pavements. What do they expect the officers to do? Go down with a broom every time their dog feels the pressure in his bowels?
In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. Same in Japan.
Will the Indian citizen do that here?' He's right. We go to the polls to choose a government and after that forfeit all responsibility.
We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to do everything for us whilst our contribution is totally negative. We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop to pick a up a stray piece of paper and throw it in the bin. We expect the railways to provide clean bathrooms but we are not going to learn the proper use of bathrooms.
We want Indian Airlines and Air India to provide the best of food and toiletries but we are not going to stop pilfering at the least opportunity..
This applies even to the staff who is known not to pass on the service to the public.
APJ Abdul Kalam Wings of fireWhen it comes to burning social issues like those related to women, dowry, girl child! and others, we make loud drawing room protestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse? 'It's the whole system which has to change, how will it matter if I alone forego my sons' rights to a dowry.' So who's going to change the system?
What does a system consist of? Very conveniently for us it consists of our neighbors, other households, other cities, other communities and the government. But definitely not me and YOU. When it comes to us actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families into a safe cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr.Clean to come along & work miracles for us with a majestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away.
Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their glory and praise their system. When New York becomes insecure we run to England . When England experiences unemployment, we take the next flight out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued and brought home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse and rape the country. Nobody thinks of feeding the system. Our conscience is mortgaged to money.
Dear Indians, The article is highly thought inductive, calls for a great deal of introspection and pricks one's conscience too…. I am echoing J. F. Kennedy's words to his fellow Americans to relate to Indians…..
'ASK WHAT WE CAN DO FOR INDIA AND DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE TO MAKE INDIA WHAT AMERICA AND OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES ARE TODAY'
Lets do what India needs from us.
a speach by -APJ Abdul Kalam [ex president of India]
Thank you,

INTROSPECTION
It's I N T R O S P E C T I O N....... just spend 30 seconds who are important for you .
Don’t bother getting a pen and paper…. Just read….if you can’t answer them, just keep going.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss India Contest.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel Prize.
5. Name the last five Filmfare award winners for Best Actor and Actress.

The point is, none of us remembers the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They’re the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten and certificates are buried with their owners.
Now here’s another quiz. See how you do on this one:
1. Name three teachers who aided your journey though school..
2. Name three friends who helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worth while.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
Easier?
The Lesson: The people who make a different in your life aren’t the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They’re the ones who care. Hence, start care to your people care for you & love you ,colleague,kids-kith--kin
