Melancholy for Break---/----Up Relationship

Do you think that only human beings or more precisely living beings are suffering from a break up relationship? Well it’s not true. The emotional sorrow after separation from someone you are close with, is for nature too. Have you noticed the bad weather and rain in most of the part of the world in the past few days?
Everyone on this earth is elated with happiness with the news of coming back of Sunita Williams to earth. All are celebrating and praying in their own way for safe return of the Indian origin flight engineer in NASA. The brave woman has made her record by staying 195 days in space—a remarkable achievement. It’s not only the matter of staying but it’s a matter of contributing socially and technically to the world. It’s really a pride for the human being, which always struggled for its existence through an only precious resource called brain.
But it is only the space, which is not happy of new kind of in space break- up relationship. How can one come up from such a gloomy situation when its 195 days old? The eye-wetting is obvious as we see generally in the break-ups. In few past days, the sky was bursting with rain full night showing its sentiments of separation. Not only it is sobbing with rain but also keeping itself in the dark during daytime exactly similar to the human tendency of setting him/herself alone in the darkness with melancholy thoughts and eyes filled with tears. In these situations the main problem is everyone will come to you for showing sympathy and giving suggestions but no one will wipe out your tears. Some of them always wait for these occasions and act as butter in the fire!!!
Practically if we see our past, there is always some kind of separation in our lives for satisfying our everyday growing needs and comfort. Whether it’s a separation from family or from organization or break-up with friends, there is always gloom and despondency in the life for some period of time depending on the extent of emotional sentiments attached to the relationship. After that period of time everything comes back to the normal accepting this separation as a rule of nature.

Sh..ri..nk..ing... English


One day morning I got a message on my cell, it writes: "Thnx 4 ur hlp". Well it's sure that you can't find the word of the written sentence in any of the lexicon, but if u ask anyone they will not only tell you the meaning, but it may be possible that they will reply also in the same manner with few more shocking shrinking words.

I am very much in support for the use of these words afterall the main purpose of any sentence is to commnicate the meaning. As long as the other end person understands, its ok.

Then I started thinking that from where this culture has started. Actually the culture of shrinking the english was also there in the past. You can see it in the form of abbreviations everywhere. But now a days for the past two years it has picked up it's pace like anything. People now a days uses alphanumeric words to communicate in short. Just think about the creativity of people who initiated such things.
Take the first sentence again but this time formal " thanks for your help". Total words=17, where as with the shrinking words the same purpose is achieved by 10 words. That is saving of 7 words.
We can simply write "gr8" for "great", saving two words.

Now think how can you shrink " your question is wrong". I will write it as "ur ? is X".

One reason could be the growing telecom industry where people have so much of interest in messaging within restricted number of words.

If this culture will be adopted formally everywhere then I think it can save lots of time and money also by utilising less number of pages, inks etc. Just imagine the documentation work in India and then think of the saving...

But this shrinking should not be so fast or too much that in future we should be left with only blank papers....!!!

100 % Confidence


Sometimes I am surprised by the people saying " I am 100% confident". I think confidence is a trait which comes to a person based on his experience & knowledge. If I am correct there is no one in this world having 100% knowledge. There are so many detail things for even a small topic that is difficult for a person in one lifetime to grasp. As our knowledge level increases, progressively confidence increases like 50% to 60% to 80% to 90% to 99% and so on...

It should not be 100% otherwise there will not be any scope to increase our knowledge.. and most important thing if it will be 100% then next natural thing will be an infinitesimal increment to it, which we call as over-confidence. Over-confidence as we know is not a good quality of a person. So better to be less than 100% confidant.

Denying help: Is it a natural tendency

I was quite confused about this topic. I will tell you an incident in a train journey last month. I was coming back from one of my official mission. There was a well educated girl travelling by same train in fact in the same compartment after finishing her MBBS. She was going to her hometown. In the morning at around 10 Hrs, I planned to charge my cell. There was only one charging point at the gate. The girl was already there to charge her cell. After 5 minutes she came back and started reading some medical book. Her cell was still charging there. I also started listening music. Then after some time the attendant came from other side and told something to her and she went with him to the gate. When she came back I asked her how long will she charge coz my cell getting discharged. Then she told it is no longer there, it's lost! I just asked how then she smiled & said that "there is no problem, I am loosing my cell every four months and that was with me for around 5 months".
During our talk I came to know that she is one of my school friend's batchmate. Then I told her if she wanted my cell to call her family... but again she smiled and said " no thanks, my father would have known by this time that I have lost my cell". She talked to me nicely whole journey but not taken any help.
Earlier I was thinking that people doesn't take help from strangers. But it was really of different kind. May be it's the showy nature of a girl or self esteem of her which had prevented her from taking help or may be enough careless or may be she is rich enough to forget that event avoiding any action or complaint.
If it was the last case then I would suggest she should donate her cell once in a 4 month to poor people so that she will get some blessings in return!!

Life: Good & bad experiences

Life is just a sweet mixture of good and bad experiences. We all know that there are various stages of life of all the creatures present in this universe. Each stages of life has it's own level of experiences depending on the person's predilection. The level or quality of experience increases as the maturity increases. A person's achievement in his life is always means a lot to him which can't be compared to anything else. To some extent a person's achievement depends on how much he has learnt from all his good and bad experiences.



Well, good experiences can be anything for which you feel happy, it may be the thoughts through meeting interesting people which you feel to have a positive impact in your life, it may be your result in the examination through which you expect better learning, it may be a decision which increases your confidence level, it may be your own thinking and actions that can have social & economic values and so on. Just think a few minutes about your past and try to memorize all the good experiences you have came across since your existence to this world, yes your existence...not by birth but by thoughts. Try it, you will definitely enjoy! if not you will at least able to describe yourself in a better way. Isn't it?




It's obvious that you can't get always good experiences in life. The bad experiences also plays very important role in our life. It will give some important lessons which will help in takinng decisions in future. Now a days the decision making is very important trait for a person's growth in any field, whether it's business, sports, research etc.. and even in our personal matters. To take such decisions valid grounds are requied. These grounds may be the factual data which people get from their own good or bad experiences. Based on this we can take favourable or unfavourable decisions.
The problem comes when people don't know whether it's a good experience or bad experience.
A simple way to identify it would be finding the details about that experrience. A good experience may come by self work or from observing the other's good experience. The same will apply to bad experience also. In that way we can judge our life as good and bad experiences.
I will conclude by writing that life always have some good and bad experiences. It depends on how a person takes it to make his decisions.
