Remarkable speech delivered by famous author Chetan Bhagat at Symbiosis

Dont just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful.

Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order.

There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup.

There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions.

"Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first.

Same is with life where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die.

One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here.

We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up?

It's ok, bunk a few classes, scoring low in couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, fall in love, little fights with your spouse. We are people, not programmed devices..... ...." :)

"Don't be serious, be sincere."!!

Key to happiness....

These days I have started getting more interest in this technique 'Pranic Healing'.  Thanks to my friend Vinky, who introduced this to me.

What is Pranic Healing?

Pranic healing is a revolutionary and comprehensive system of natural healing techniques that utilizes `prana` to treat various illnesses. `Prana` is a Sanskrit word literally meaning `life-force`, the invisible bio-energy or vital energy that keeps the body alive and maintains a state of good health. As an art and science, pranic healing was widely practiced in ancient civilizations in China, Egypt and India. 

What I like the most is that the way it helps people to remove hurt feelings from their heart.  By doing that one can stay more positive I feel.  I wish I get into this system and learn more about it.  Something I found interesting from some webpage, I am sharing with you...

Proper Human Relationships

Cruelty to fellow beings and to animals is one of the major causes of severe painful ailments. If one repeatedly causes pain to others, then one will also harvest intense pain in the form of severe ailment. If one repeatedly deprives others of physical sustenance (income, money or food), then one will also be deprived of physical sustenance. This may manifest as severe lung ailments wherein one keeps gasping for life (sustenance). The affected body will gradually wilt. This will also have adverse financial effects.

Even prophets are not exempted from the law of karma. Negative karma can be neutralized by learning the lesson that has to be learned, using the law of forgiveness and the law of mercy. Avoid cruelty and show kindness to others; this is a major key to good health, to happiness, and to avoiding severe painful ailments. 

Wish you all a very happy New Year 2010
