Thank you Graham Bell

It has been more than 10 days since I had a chat with my people at home and my friends. I was really missing them especially my dear ones. My little nephew, my folks, my doo and all. While I was in the midst of work, a black coloured box ringing to the tune of, “The taste that gets you starting now, the taste that gets you going now”. (For people who are not aware, this is the Nescafe Advertisement tune). That is the ring tone for my favourite ones. I couldn’t believe myself that this little black box called the Telephone could get me back to where I was. I was in ultimate bliss. I picked up and that cute one comforted me the most, the way he vibrates the beautiful music from the other end and makes it pass through the ears so gently like that soft breeze is but a lovely feeling. He just takes you through happiness, sadness, guilt, pleasure, joy, sorrow and ‘et.al. As he takes us through the variety of emotions, he gives us the delight and harmony, experiencing ecstasy taking us to heaven. He does provide us the entertainment when needed and also the pleasure of making people the near and dear ones really near to you. However far you may be, he can help you get nearer to the person. As we feel and touch those nice keys and strike through those buttons, it’s a sensation and felling that just can’t be explained. As he facilitates us to hear that voice from the other side we do sometimes ignore what the telephone can do for us. Inviting people and make people anxious is his job. He is but an addiction and just can’t stop from laying the hands on him. And most of the times he is naughty too that he invites the wrong people and makes them pick up too. So sad sometimes. ( As this amazing lively creature, small and big, cute and nice, red and white, soft and loud gives us life; do we treat him the way he has to be? Brutal to him, banging him down, twisting and turning, dropping him many a times and let him down, pulling and pushing, throwing and catching. Does he cry? He does with small hissings and murmur. And we beat him up more again. Don’t take care when he says please take care of me and when he cries. When he is supposed to live longer, we treat him so badly and give him a scare and as he continues to cry, he is dumped into the ditch. Sad he feels and gets old and rotten and feels so famished, ignored and never bringing him back to life. And one fine day, as we realize that we feel Oh! My god, how I wish I had him to make my life even brighter and fresher. It is but too late All I have to say is “Thanks Graham Bell. I will take care of your little child.”

The train journey

Last couple of weeks I have been having quite some fun on Saturdays especially since I take the train journey. I love train journeys. As the siren horns, the train starts of gently and wades through the rail tracks. Moving smoothly, the train passes through those nice green luscious fields and the rocky mountains, sure of knowing where it is heading. Whenever I am on a train journey, I am reminded of the rhyme, “Piggy on the railway picking up stones..” If you haven’t heard of this before ask the cute little ones you know and they’ll tell you. What really fascinates me is the fact that the train precisely knows where it is heading. Many a times the track divulges into 2 different tracks and always has the choice to take any. But knowing its destination it chooses the right path and reaches the target bang. Be it on time or not it still reaches. Does the train really have a smooth journey, not really. I remember 2 weeks back as I was traveling from Bangalore to Chennai, the train was diverted because of a breach in one of the track lines. The train did not give up and changed its route and ensured that it reached the destination., making a few hundreds happy, relieved and satisfied. Isn’t this a metaphor for life as well?? As we travel through in life isn’t it a must that we have a target for ourselves. A GOAL that will decide the route and the path we must take. Unless and until we know this, there is a possibility that we can take any train and not head anywhere and as we reach there realize that that’s not what we wanted and come back the journey. Wasting time and energy!. As we go through like the train is there a guarantee that we’ll have a smooth journey?. I bet that we will have hiccups that will stop us from traveling. But its about changing our ways to reach the target. Its about changing our STRATEGY and still ensuring that we reach our goals. Traveling life is fun, and on the way we might find certain places where there would be more than 1 path. We need to make the decision, the CHOICE, as to which path do I take. That would decide our destiny. And we make the choice and we have all the necessary resources to DESIGN our DESTINY. Know where you want to go and take your ACTION towards SUCCESS. Live with Passion

By the Sea Shore

The Tsunami might have swept through thousands of lives and lakhs of homes and millions of hearts but the sea never is quiet and never likes to be calm and rest. A place of fun, happiness, joy and peace turned to be a violent terror. But as I was in the sea shore I saw the energy and enthusiasm of many. Memories are short lived. But I like the way people reframe it. Wow it all lost forgotten. I love the people. Its always amazing to sit through the beach and enjoy the breeze and the cool wind bustling. As I see the young little ones flying their kites and playing with their balloons and the older ones (by age) resting and having a nice smiling talk, give more energy and nice calmness in the mind. The sand adds beauty to the shore wet and dry, making nice sand dunes and the kids building their small hills making the rat holes and shaking their hands. That’s cute right we were also doing that as kids. The real old smart grandpas and grandmas having a stroll giving them more strength. Isn’t this happiness, joy and fun just a state of mind. I always used to wonder do I need to go to the beach and have fun and have some peace and calmness. I still go there for the same. But I did manage to remember that it is just a STATE of MIND. Like Dr. Richard Bandler (Founder of NLP, my Guru) always says “You don’t need to a reason to be Happy”, we truly don’t need to be there at the Beach to remember and tell ourselves to be happy, calm and peaceful. STATE of MIND!! How important is it to control the same. Each time I go to the beach I do remember one of the most startling and shocking things that happened on Dec 26th 2004, when I lost my cousin. But I don’t make that affect me anymore. I do feel for her for a minute. Its about “What and How we FOCUS on Things” Changing the Internal Representation really makes the impact on me and I do it everyday. Now do I need a reason to be happy or motivated. People ask me how do I get on stage and just be in the state of fun, totally motivated and confident. Don’t I have any challenges ?? (I don’t see them as a P-R-O-B-L-E-M-S). I just decide to focus on what I want and just go by it. Amazing ain’t. Who was with me at the BEACH? Now that’s being naughty… Read more and see more of this blog. I might probably share that as well!!

Sunday morning - The Light Blue Sky

After a long time I managed to set my eyes on the beautiful light blue sky. And I got up in the morning with a surprise. The surprise was not that I got up in the morning; it is just that I saw that silhouette of the beautiful green coconut tree by my window swaying to the nice cool breeze and I pushed the curtain out the breeze just swept through. The previous night as I was catching a glimpse of the highlights of the 6-1 series win of India, I saw a scroll that said, “Heavy rain expected for the next 36 Hrs”. I was like “Oh! No not again”. Last week lots of training programs were cancelled which really got me bored. “I choose to get bored” but I did an E+R=O and then managed to read through all the pending books.

Many a people were complaining about the rain. And amidst all this the commotion and the confusion that the government had to undergo was so much, that really made life a little frustrating for many. Newspapers, TV channels and the print media exposing different things, in the process going against many. I was really wondering was it really so bad? Are there people who really enjoy. Not to mention the ones who really enjoy are the kids. They really wait and they get up early in the morning only on those days when it is raining just to find out that it’s raining and the school is closed. Can’t really explain the joy and the happiness. What a sight to see.

I am sure that this rate of rains lashing through was definitely helpful for our public works department considering the fact that they don’t have to really scout around for water to store and not to forget the farmers. They really would happy with all their wells full and brimming with water.

This is what I call as FRAME of REFERENCE. The same experience perceived in 2 different ways by 2 different set of people. Now who has the choice? Don’t we? I am sure we do and this is what, will ensure that we don’t live life like a sheep but like an eagle swooping away success and glory.

Choose the BEST for yourself. Never Comprise and Live like a Champion for one single reason that we are Born to WIN

How I wish I had the Magic Lamp!!

What a lucky guy Aladdin must have been having a Magic lamp and getting whatever he wanted. Can you just imagine? Awesome right. He calls the Genie and says Jeem Boom Bah and yo he gets a palace, food and money and all that.

I overheard a few kids near my house and was listening what they were talking. I am quite keen on hearing kids talk especially since I love understanding behavioral patterns of kids. They were so intense in their conversation saying I’ll ask for a house by the sea shore and then ask for the Ferrari and so on. How true that sometime we also think in same lines that we would also want to have the magic lamp.

I was really wondering as fables are written there must be some moral and some meaning to it and that’s the reason that children can learn and that it can’t go without the powerful message.

Many a people tend to forget the fact that we all have the magic lamp. We forget the fact that we need to rub and push the lamp to get the genie and get the best. Do we have the resources yes definitely yes and what’s the way I find the magic to take it out. As we realize that we are Born to WIN and that we all have a purpose and reason out here in this world we really go out to achieve what we want. We live our dreams and the dreams come to reality.

Its about breaking the chains of the cave, the chains of human life, limiting beliefs that will bring out the genie in us and this genie (the hero of Aladdin and the Magic Lamp) has the potential, capability, endurance, voice, vigour and the energy to live life like a champion. As always, we are Born to WIN.

And imagine using NLP you say “Close your eyes” and yo !! you get what you want. Want to learn more of it… keep checking out here. For my next blog on applications of NLP…Want more learn more and live with Passion
