Mother: Bolo Ta Ra Ra

when I was in 8th std, Daler Mehndi's Bolo Ta Ra Ra released.
Very soon, it became a big hit.
I didnt have the cassette and I wanted to get it from my neighborhood friend.  He had bought that cassette soon after its release.
I thought to raid his house to get the cassette..
When I was about to go out, my Mom appeared on the center stage.
She asked me if I could go and get the cassette.
She wanted to listen to it badly..

So I said:
"If you want to listen to it, then go n get it. I dont want to hear those punjabi songs. So am not going."
I was very lazy and still I am.

So she went to my friend's house.
The new character in this story is a dog.
My friend had a dog and it was very aggressive.

Mom got the cassette and when she was about to return, that dog did bite her.. That dog did its job, before the owners could do anything.
'Had I visited my friend's house, instead of my mom... '
Oh, my god, I could not even think about that..

Final scene:
When she reached home with the cassette, I could not stop my laughter..
She played the cassette and I began to sing 'Bolo Bow Bow Bow Bow'.
Note: She was afraid of Rabies and avoided using lemon pickle for a few months..

Action and Reaction

To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction..
Do you think am going to copy Sir Isaac Newton? No..
wait n see...
do we Act or ReAct?
Action comes out of awareness.
and You React when you are emotionally challenged.

You Act when you are Aware.
You React when you are unAware.

Gyan and Karma

Gyan and Karma (Knowledge and Action)
I have heard:
Gyan without Karma and Karma without Gyan.. both are meaningless..
If you have the knowledge and you do not do any action based on it.. its worthless..
If you do not know, but acts without any knowledge.. that too is meaningless..
sometimes you may succeed.. but in future or somebody faces the same issue, you may not be able to solve the same since you do not have the knowledge..

Pressure vs Tension

It seems that both Pressure and Tension are the same.. Infact they are opposite.. Pressure come from outside.. but Tension is mainly internal to u..

Example:
Take out one string of a Guitar or any string available.
Fix its one end and the pull it towards you.
The tension in the string is opposite to the direction of the force applied.
The direction of force(Pull) is towards you. But the tension in the string is away from you..

For example in real time, lets take sachin tendulkar..
every time he comes out to bat, he is under tremendous pressure.. expectations of crores of people.. they expect him hitting centuries.. breaking/setting records.. but he is not tensed and performs.. playing and living in the present moment. the rest is history..

External world can put you under pressure. But it can not make you tensed.. You can feel the pressure and can apply its heat to yourself. This makes you tensed.. Your body reacts.. it exerts some hormones.. Your status is then changed from 'under pressure' to 'tensed'.. Nobody can be blamed for this.. only you are responsible..
