A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.

Sunday, 2 March 2014

A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes. Do you feel there are days where everything is happening nice and perfect while there are some days when everything just went wrong? Problem is not with the days; problem is with our thinking process. Positive thinking will result in viewing everything positive towards us. Our reaction, our body language, our words are most of the time depends upon what are we thinking during that period of time. People who are depressed in life usually think in a negative way most of time. Look for your thoughts day and night and stop it immediately when it is inclined towards something negative. Change it towards more positive thoughts. Think on a subject by using the words with the positive meaning. Turn the negative statements into the positive ones. Let us view some of the example mention below

“Alas, I have just Rs. 1000. I am not rich and don’t have the job as well. How I am going to survive?”
This statement concentrates on how poor the person is which makes him upset and he wastes his energy on thinking how will he survive with such a small amount of money with him.
Or put the same statement as
Wow, I have Rs. 1000. I can survive for few days and in these days I should work hard to search the suitable job for myself.
By this statement he will devote his energy on the searching the job.


“I feel cheated, angry and disappointed because of this situation.” Instead use the statement like “I am determined to do better next time to avoid such a situation. “


Think explicitly and genuinely about the happenings around you in the affirmative way. If there are cases negative around you think clear cut on how these needs to be changed instead of worrying about the situation and become weaker and weaker. Be confident and self assured about yourself. Whatever the situation remember positive thinking will attract good things while negative will only attract you towards bad and will make situation more worst.


“I can’t get through this project” Instead say “I need help for this project.”


I am not saying that we do not have negatives in ourselves. I am saying identify them and try to overcome the same by thinking more positively. It is very important to think the truth which will help us to improve ourselves in the walk of life. For example if you wish to lose the extra kilos, instead of thinking that “I am fat and I will never be able to wear my favorite outfit again” think like “I need to wear this outfit on the New Year Party and I will lose these extra kilos to look more beautiful.”Latter statement will ensure you put your foot forward to exercise and it has also given the deadline to reduce the extra kilos by the eve of New Year.
Whatever you believe you will become one day no matter what. Money is fetched by employee of the company who works faithfully as well as by the employee who stole the money from the company. Both do get money. However one way is right and other is wrong. Therefore it is very important to think positively as well as correctly. Keep repeating the same to yourselves till the time you have achieved the success. It is up to each one of us to choose which path we want to see ourselves. A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

Sunday, 9 February 2014

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. - Mahatma Gandhi. Inspired by the above quote, I have written a small poem. Check it out and share your thoughts on the same via comments.

The weak can never forgive,
Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
Don't keep the selfish motive,
Don’t you do certain things that are wrong?

Thinking on the other’s mistake will just clutter your mind,
Forgiveness is surely the relieving sign.
Sing the song and be one of its kinds,
Everything would be than just as fine.

Breaking the relation can never be the solution
Take yourself away from all the pollution
Gather the strength to forgive the mistake
Talk openly and avoid being fake.

Let your words flow like a beautiful lake.
Without thinking much on what would be other’s take
Clear all the misunderstanding for once and for all
Closing the matter and forgiving would be the smart call

You must be the change that you wish to see in the world.

Quote by Mahatma Gandhi -"You must be the change that you wish to see in the world."

Inspired from the above quote, I wrote below lines. Check it out and let me know how you like it via comments.

Be the change that you wish to see in the world.
Let all the ideas of change gets assembled
One by one take from easy to difficult
Then start from yourself and be principled

Forget about others first you get yourself handled
Focus only on the change and let all the rest get disabled
See clearly the change that earlier was blurred

Only on the change let you be focused
Let the idea open like a beautiful lotus
Leave behind everything that is bogus

Concentrate on the change word by word
The change should only be referred
And then let the idea gets transferred

Slowly you would hear the singing of the bird
One by one others would come and gets curled
Not to mention that you would now be heard

Be the change that you wish to see in the world.

Facts of Mahatma Gandhi

Wednesday, 21 August 2013

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, who helped in achieving Independence for India, is well known for his principles and philosophy of non-voilence and truth. He was the inspiration for not only for the fellow mans but even today, many people follow his lessons. There are lot of facts that are widely published and we often read about him every now and then. However there are some interesting facts about him that are rarely published. Here in this post I am consolidating his facts that I have came across so far. Hope you will enjoy reading.

Gandhiji was engaged when he was of seven years, to Kasturba Makanji. They tie the knot in 1882 at the age of 14.

Bapu never left the road of honesty irrespective of any situation. During some school test, his teacher asked him to copy the word from the co student book. His teacher asked him to copy in order to receive the appreciation from the inspector for teaching so well that every student know the answer. But Gandhi was ready to take the punishment for not knowing the word rather than copying it. Though his teacher was angry on him, he did not left the road of honesty.

As a child he was a shy person. He used to run home from school because he could not bear to talk to fellow students.

He used to wear a silk hat and spats during his stay in London. While he was in Africa he used full clothing. However during the freedom struggle in India he wore traditional dhoti and shawl. In his Tamil Nadu tour in Madurai, he saw many people wearing single length dhoti as their full dress. After seeing the poor plight of Indians, he avoided rich or European dresses and used to wear single length dhoti. His simple attire and hand charka were treated as his identities.

He loved walking. Not even the single day went by without the walk. He said, "Walking is justly called the price of exercise". He used to walk 8 to 10 miles a day during his stay in London for studying Law. He said, "It was primarily those long walks that kept me practically free from illness throughout my stay in England and fave me a fairly strong body". He walked for 241 miles at the age of 60 for the movement. More Mahatma Gandhi Quotes

For our independence Gandhiji, was kept in jail for 6 years and 5 months. NethajiSubash Chandra bose used to call Gandhiji as "Desapitha" (Father of our nation).

First statement on the first radio broadcast for the US was "Do I have to speak into this thing?"

In 1931, Gandhi traveled to London for the Second Round Table Conference to discuss India’s future. He brought very little luggage, but he did pack a copy of Henry David Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience.

Gandhi was extremely punctual. One of his very few possessions was a dollar watch. Just before he was assassinated, on January 30, 1948, Gandhi was upset because he was ten minutes late getting to a regular prayer meeting.

The great Scientist Albert Einstein once said about Gandhi : "Generations to come will scarcely believe that such a one as this (Gandhi) walked the earth in flesh and blood." He also once said, " I believe that Gandhi’s views were the most enlightened of all the political men in our time. We should strive to do things in his spirit: not to use violence in fighting for our cause, but by non-participation in anything you believe is evil." More Albert Einstein Quotes

He never visited US though he had many American fans and followers. He had an Irish accent. Gandhi started his activist movement when he was in South Africa.

Bapu took the vow of celibacy in 1906 for purification and enlightenment reasons. Irrespective of his decision, his wife remained with him till her death.

He was a great writer. He wrote for decades for newspapers nad magazines like Harijan, Indian Opinion, Young India, Navjivan etc. He also wrote books including his autobiography, "An Authobiography or My Experiments with Truth"

Though he was nominated 5 times, Gandhiji has never won the Nobel Prize, though he had been an inspiration for many Noble Prize Winners like Martin Luther Kin, Dalai Lama, etc.

He used his false teeth only during the time of eating. After eating he used to remove his false teeth, clean it and keep it in the loin cloth.



Mahatma Gandhi and Indira Gandhi weren't related to each other.

The same caisson, or gun carriage, that bore Gandhi’s body during his funeral in 1948 was used in 1997 for Mother Teresa’s funeral.

Do share via comments any more facts you know about great leader Gandhiji.

After reading the above quote of Mahatma Gandhi, the first thing came in my mind was the issues faced by women are growing day after day. Freedom is just not for only man. It is currectly expressed by Mahatma Gandhi that real freedom and independence India will achieve when our women can walk freely irrespective of any time of day or night. Below are the few lines which I dedicate to all the women.

The day when there is no discrimination
Everyone condemns the harassment on the women
Each family feels proud of their new born girl child
Man understand the importance of the women in their lives
That day we can say India has achieved independence

The day when the justice is delivered
Without any economic social or political intervention
When the culprit are made accountable
Without any delay the victim gets the justice
That day we can say India has achieved independence

When the women in the society feels safer
Be at home or outside somewhere
No matter if she is with someone or alone
When we don’t need words to understand her silence
That day we can say India has achieved independence

The day when there is equality everywhere
Basic necessities are provided even to the poor
There is education available for one and all
The country is free from the thinking of backward process
That day we can say India has achieved independence

The day when there is no fear among the people
When the common man is also given the dignity he deserve
The country is free from fraud and corruption
Everywhere there is unity, harmony and peace
That day we can say India has achieved independence

When each one of us does duty with integrity
Contributing our bit to make the better society
Problems like terrorism and global warming are tackled
When we understand natural resources importance
That day we can say India has achieved independence
