It’s better to be born rich than talented.

I would prefer to be talented,for possessing a talent is more satisfying, honourable and lasting. A talent is something very tangible,for it is inherent in the person.

One is recognized and appreciated for it throughput the life. A talent could be any specialized skill in sports, music, painting or any field of human endeavor. On the other hand riches tend to corrupt a person leading to vices.

Unlike riches,talent is more sublime. It cannot be inherited or acquired by fair means. It has to be nurtured with sincerity, dedication and rigorous discipline, so that it blossoms and spread it’s aroma in the society. Talent is inborn no amount of wealth can help in acquiring a talent, for it is inspiring and God gifted.

Undoubtedly it is better to be born talented than rich but just in words. Indeed wealth and riches brings with it worries which makes one age faster, while competence which comes with talent makes one live longer.

Pen pals

Have you ever thought of sharing your opinions and views to an unknown person. In this present world sharing any information with an unknown person is nothing less than inviting a trouble, but there was a time when people used to share their opinions, emotions or feelings to an unknown person. This was accomplished by writing letters. One used to write letters to those whose name, gender , age, caste etc were not known. The only thing they knew was address. This was the most exciting thing youths of those days used to do. By this they also made friends of their own choice. The friends made are called Pen friends or pen pals.

This practice started from the early 70s and prevailed as a trend for almost 2 decades. Those days there used to be a column in the newspaper, which had the addresses of those people who were interested in having a pen pal. From late 80s people started having pen friends from foreign countries too. Many people were really interested in reading different views and opinions so they had many pen friends. This practice also helped in gaining the knowledge of things happening in other places. Just imagine how different it is to know people like that, you know make friends with people you don’t know and it is your choice to carry it on or to end it.

In late 90s computers were made accessible and Electronic mail came in and started spreading its magic throughout the world. The ritual of handwritten letters were vanishing. Then mobiles made communication more efficient because of which writing letters to even the loved ones were stopped completely.

Pen pal are the purest form of friendship, why not start the trend once again. Lets once again start writing letters to our relatives and friends who are far. You know writing letters is something so personnel, one invests time in it thinks a hundred times what to write and how to write. After scrambling tons of thoughts and papers (does not mean you waste paper, please do not waste paper) the last draft is ready , the anxiety of posting it and then waiting for the reply is another feeling. In this world where everything is fake let us make friendships real. When you friend receives the letter, they would feel you in the letter. When the read it in their mind it would be as if your voice is reading it, which would definitely give a feeling though for just sometime that you are around them narrating your story.

Really how did this wonderful tradition come to an end!!

let us not end it, let us find new friends once again, make Pen friends and lets keep up the friendship for life. Lets share each others happiness and sorrows so that we don’t feel alone and always be feel happy of having a friend somewhere who is always there to listen to our thoughts , opinions and problems and to show that we care about them. May be by doing this we can make a much happier world to live in.

Indian Air Force has joined locust control operations in Rajasthan. An IAF’s Mi-17 helicopter sprayed pesticides over large swathes of desert land in Jodhpur district yesterday, the first such instance in the history of the air force.  

A private helicopter, hired by the Agriculture Ministry, had started locust control operations on Saturday carrying out its first sortie in the desert areas of Banda in Jaisalmer.

Centre has stepped up efforts and is using the latest technology and equipment like drones and Bell helicopters to control the menace.

India is facing the worst-ever locust attacks in three decades. Swarms of the marauding pests have been witnessed in various districts of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana.

The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) has said that India should remain on “high ” during the next four weeks. It said, locust swarms that have traveled as far as Nepal are expected to return to Rajasthan and join other swarms coming from Pakistan and Iran for the breeding season this month.

Self Confidence:- A must to have trait


If you want a definition of Self Confidence from Webster’s Dictionary or other primary sources – Google it… your question will be answered…

In my not so humble opinion, those definitions will be precise, accurate, and likely are far more measurable than any answer I will come up with.

Nevertheless, here are my thoughts regarding Self-Confidence…

A few thoughts on what is NOT Self Confidence…

It is being cocky, and rude…

It is not being obliviously obnoxious towards others in your life, taking advantage of and/or walking over anyone and everyone that is in your path.

If you have read any of my prior answers, I am REALLY big on the 3 Step Process of 1. Forgiveness of others and self; 2. Attitude of Gratitude; and 3. Hope, Dreams, Vision for the future. If these ideas are NEW to you, find an earlier answer for more information…

Self Confidence is the result of an awareness of…

1)WHO you are

2)What you value

Your Major Definite Purpose – what ignites a white-hot desire in your heart? See “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill for more information

Your dreams, vision and hope for the future.

With some idea of these notions, one can set out in the general direction of their dreams and be confident that they are living a sincere, authentic life. Remain focused on the living in the present, and enjoying the journey moment by moment.

To be backed it up, I would like to mention what one of my super close friend “Rashi Sharma”said to me , who literally help me growing as a person, and I am blessed to have her as my closest friend and take this opportunity to thank her for the motivation and support she provides. She said “You got to have your own stand & influence other through that in order to improve self confidence. And that hit me up, and the same advice I want to give my readers out here.

Not fixating on the “cursed hows” (see Mike Dooley), or allowing yourself to be “should” upon by others… but living your life…

Self confidence is a humble sense of being true to oneself, asking 2 questions when faced with any decision…

Is this moving me toward or away from my Major Definite Purpose?

If I had no fear, what would I do? (Too many dreams are dead on arrival due to fear and anxiety blocking us from taking ANY action towards making them come true. Life is risky… there are no guarantees… but overcoming our doubts and fears will move us significantly closer to our dreams than wallowing in fear, doubt and anxiety.

The District Collectors have been instructed to ensure due compliance of the regulations.

Meanwhile, the week-long stringent lockdown in Thiruvananthapuram came into force this morning.

And the Lock-III will be enforced in the houses of primary and secondary contacts of covid-19 patients to be in compulsory room-quarantine.

COVID recovery rate improves to 60.77 pct in country

Government yesterday said that due to collective and focused efforts for containment and management of COVID-19 by the Centre along with the States and Union Territories, the number of recovered cases rose to over four lakh nine thousand.

During the last 24 hours, a total of 14 thousand 856 COVID-19 patients have been cured. Union Health Ministry said, there are over one lakh 64 thousand more recovered patients than COVID-19 active cases.

This takes the national recovery rate amongst COVID-19 to 60.77 per cent. The Ministry said, there are over two lakh 44 thousand active cases and all are under active medical supervision.

The testing lab network in the country continues to expand. As of now, a total one thousand one hundred laboratories across India have been given approval to conduct Covid-19 tests including 786 government laboratories and 314 private laboratory chains. During the last 24 hours around two lakh 49 thousand samples have been tested. The cumulative number of samples tested, so far is more than 97 lakh 89 thousand.

Electronic mail

We use electronic mails in our everyday lives, it has become a mode of an etiquette way of conveying messages if formality is required. Nevertheless we can use electronic mails to send our friends a message, it also serves the purpose for an informal yet important messages to be delivered. It is seen most of the people use it to transfer files from mobile to computer though there are other ways like Google drive and bluetooth but E-mail is a more convenient and efficient way to do this. It is said that over 3.9 million people all over the world use e-mail every day. Even after so many years of its Invention this method of exchanging messages is still prevalent.

Ray Tomlinson was the person who  invented it in 1971, he was an American computer programmer . He implemented the email such that it could be sent from one user to many different users in ARPANET. ARPANET was the basis of internet which was developed by the U.S advanced research process agency (ARPA). Its initial purpose was to serve as a medium to share and exchange messages but it required that users could only send to the receiver when he or she is online like the instant messaging. The first e mail was sent in 1973 which was very similar to that of the basic email sent today. What is obvious is many things are upgraded and yes there are many search engines being developed like Yahoo, google, hotmail to facilitate ourselves.

What is SMPT?

As you know that whenever we are using computer which understands binary language and internet which is a very complex thing, there are some specific rules to use them because these electronic items do not understand our language so we have to actually follow some rules so as to make our work done. So there are some set of protocols to be followed which are called the SMPT which is simple mail transfer protocol. SMPT sets up rule for the servers, it moves and forwards your mails to the servers. It can also send networks outside the internet. When we write our email with “@ ” symbol we are actually creating a definite address what is more interesting is that if you write a receivers address with the same symbol, it automatically connects you to the address if it exists, if it does not exist then is may not send your email at all.  SMPT takes care of all the process from sending the composed mail to the receiver and to the right address.

Now a days it is even simpler to send mails to different domains, you may ask what are domains? domains are used to identify one or more IP address that is internet protocol address. Not clear yet, in simpler terms @ gmail.com, @ yahoo.com and many more. they are used to identify different web pages or we call it search engines.

So E- mails have a long history which should be admired, it has made our lives so easier and simpler . So the next time you use the electronic mail , it should come to your mind that what minds were behind the invention of this great thing and we should be grateful for it

 

PATIENCE!

Hello everyone so today we are going to talk about Patience. Patience is something that is in everybody but some utilizes it some not. We can say that patience is nothing but the ability for being bearable such as in pain, or waiting in any type of circumstances. This is the most important thing in our life which brings later on big chances in our life.

One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life”. This is very most important Chinese proverb about patience.

We all are involved in different relationship, but sometimes in relationship we get frustrated,irritate,defensive because we lose patience. It’s very common things happens in everybody relationship but we must have patience to overcome from this type of situation.Most of the time we don’t realize that patience plays an important role of key in our life, but if we keep going losing patience it will mostly harm our life and also who are attached to us.

Patience helps you to have a positive attitude in every type of situation also it make us empathetic. It helps us to grow healthier in our life and also when different situation comes and challenge us the patience helps us to overcome every type of challenging situation.

History Blast from the Past : ISRO’s 20 Satellites in One Go through PSLV C34 Achievement >>>>>>>>>>>

SALUTE TO ISRO AND OUR GREAT SCIENTISTS

Sometimes rewind the moments related to country pride has quite satisfactory. In the post, I am recalling the ISRO’s historical moment of 2016 … 20 satellites in one go.

Isro scripted history on Wednesday by launching 20 satellites, including those from the US, Germany, Canada and Indonesia, from its Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Pradesh’s Sriharikota in one go.

The Indian Space Research Organisation used its flagship rocket Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) C34 — standing 44.4 metre tall and weighing 320 tonne — for the lift-off that was lauded by Prime Minister Narendra Modiji.

Credit : Third Party Reference

“Our space programme has time and again shown the transformative potential of science & technology in people’s lives,” he posted after the rocket tore into the morning skies at 9.26 am with a growl breaking free of the earth’s gravitational pull.

“Over the years we developed expertise & capability to help other nations in their space initiatives. This is the skill of our scientists.”

The 20 satellites weighed 1,288kg. The rocket’s main cargo is India’s 725.5kg Cartosat-2 series satellite for earth observation. This satellite is similar to the earlier Cartosat-2, 2A and 2B.

The other 19 satellites weighing around 560 kg are from the US, Canada, Germany and Indonesia as well as one satellite each from Chennai’s Sathyabama University and College of Engineering, Pune. The whole launch mission was over in around 26 minutes.

Isro chairperson AS Kiran Kumar congratulated his team on the successful launch ‘in record time’ and said “PSLV C-34 has done its job”.

“We have the current generation of earth observation satellite of Cartosat 2 series,” ISRO said, and added the space agency had done a “wonderful job”.

The images sent by Cartosat satellite will be useful for cartographic, urban, rural, coastal land use, water distribution and other applications.

The 110kg SkySat Gen2-1 belonging to Terra Bella, a Google company, is a small earth-imaging satellite capable of capturing sub-metre resolution imagery and high definition video, Isro said.

The Planet Labs Dove Satellites are also earth-imaging satellites. A total of 12 Dove satellites each weighing 4.7kg are carried in this mission inside three QuadPack dispensers, the space agency said.

The PSLV rocket also carriedf 85kg M3MSat from Canada. The technology-demonstration mission was jointly funded and managed by Defence Research and Development Canada and the Canadian Space Agency.

The other foreign satellites on board were: 120 kg LAPSN-A3 of Indonesia, the 130 kg BIROS, from German Aerospace Centre, and the 25.5 kg GHGSat-D, Canada.

The 1.5 kg Sathyabamasat from Sathyabama University will collect data on green house gases while the 1kg Swayam satellite from College of Engineering, Pune will provide point-to-point messaging services to the HAM radio community.

In 2008, the Isro had launched 10 satellites with the PSLV rocket. Till date India has launched 57 foreign satellites successfully.

Who is Shiva: Man, Myth or Divine?

Shiva refers to both “that which is not,” and Adiyogi because in many ways they are synonymous. Explore the stories and legends that surround this most prominent figure of Indian spiritual traditions.

Meaning of Shiva

When we say “Shiva,” there are two fundamental aspects that we are referring to. The word “Shiva” means literally, “that which is not.”

Shiva is Nothingness

Today, modern science is proving to us that everything comes from nothing and goes back to nothing. The basis of existence and the fundamental quality of the cosmos is vast nothingness. The galaxies are just a small happening – a sprinkling. The rest is all vast empty space, which is referred to as Shiva. That is the womb from which everything is born, and that is the oblivion into which everything is sucked back. Everything comes from Shiva and goes back to Shiva.

Shiva is Darkness

So Shiva is described as a non-being, not as a being. Shiva is not described as light, but as darkness. Humanity has gone about eulogizing light only because of the nature of the visual apparatus that they carry. Otherwise, the only thing that is always, is darkness. Light is a limited happening in the sense that any source of light – whether a light bulb or the sun – will eventually lose its ability to give out light. Light is not eternal. It is always a limited possibility because it happens and it ends. Darkness is a much bigger possibility than light. Nothing needs to burn, it is always – it is eternal. Darkness is everywhere. It is the only thing that is all pervading.

But if I say “divine darkness,” people think I am a devil worshiper or something. In fact, in some places in the West it is being propagated that Shiva is a demon! But if you look at it as a concept, there isn’t a more intelligent concept on the planet about the whole process of creation and how it has happened. I have been talking about this in scientific terms without using the word “Shiva” to scientists around the world, and they are amazed, “Is this so? This was known? When?” We have known this for thousands of years. Almost every peasant in India knows about it unconsciously. He talks about it without even knowing the science behind it.

Meaning of Adiyogi – The First Yogi

On another level, when we say “Shiva,” we are referring to a certain yogi, the Adiyogi or the first yogi, and also the Adi Guru, the first Guru, who is the basis of what we know as the yogic science today. Yoga does not mean standing on your head or holding your breath. Yoga is the science and technology to know the essential nature of how this life is created and how it can be taken to its ultimate possibility.

One and the Same

So “Shiva” refers to both “that which is not,” and Adiyogi, because in many ways, they are synonymous. This being, who is a yogi, and that non-being, which is the basis of the existence, are the same, because to call someone a yogi means he has experienced the existence as himself. If you have to contain the existence within you even for a moment as an experience, you have to be that nothingness. Only nothingness can hold everything. Something can never hold everything. A vessel cannot hold an ocean. This planet can hold an ocean, but it cannot hold the solar system. The solar system can hold these few planets and the sun, but it cannot hold the rest of the galaxy. If you go progressively like this, ultimately you will see it is only nothingness that can hold everything. The word “yoga” means “union.” A yogi is one who has experienced the union. That means, at least for one moment, he has been absolute nothingness.

When we talk about Shiva as “that which is not,” and Shiva as a yogi, in a way they are synonymous, yet they are two different aspects. Because India is a dialectical culture, we shift from this to that and that to this effortlessly. One moment we talk about Shiva as the ultimate, the next moment we talk about Shiva as the man who gave us this whole process of yoga.

Money!!!!!

Money is the cause of most of the problems that plague modern society. It has an intoxicating effect that goes into the head of it’s beholder. It makes them arrogant and selfish.

Money is not the end of all and be all of our existence. There is no denying the fact that money brings with it prosperity,which has a psychological and social dimension.

Undoubtedly money is essential to life. However it’s endless pursuit, does more harm than good. This is because happiness that comes from the love ones are more lasting and essential and they cannot be purchased.

Money is essential to live. ‘Money can’t buy happiness,but neither can poverty.’
