Lessons From 3 Idiots

One of Our Professor at SSIMS sent these lessons to us. I found these lessons pretty useful in life.

Never try to be successful, pursue excellence 

1. Success is the by product & the result.
2. Excellence always creates Success & it is a process of continual improvement.
3. Never run after success.
4. Let it happen automatically in Life 

Freedom to life is beautiful

1. Don't die before the actual death.
2. Live every moment to the fullest as if today is the last day.
3. Life is gifted to human kind to live.
4. Live and live happily towards happiness.

Passion leads to Success

1. When your hobby becomes your profession , the passion becomes your profession.
2. You will be able to lead up to excellence in life.
3. Satisfaction, Joy, Pleasure & love will be the outcome of the passion.

Learning is very simple- Never Stop

1. Be humble.
2. Teachers do fail, Learners never fail.
3. Learning is never complicate or difficult.
4. Learning is always possible whatever rule you apply. 

Pressure at head

1. Current education system is developing pressure on students head
2. University intelligence is useful & making some impact in the life , but it cannot be at the cost of life.

Life is management of emotions & not optimization of intelligence

1. Memory and regular study have definite value and it always helps you in leading a life.
2. You are able to survive even if you can make some mark in the path of the life.
3. With artificial intelligence, you can survive & win but you cannot prove yourself genius.
4. Therefore, in this process genius dies in you

Necessity is mother of invention

1. Necessity creates pressure and forces you to invent something or to make it happen or to use your potentiality.
2. Aamir Khan in this film, 3 idiots, is able to prove in the film by using vacuum pump at the last moment.

Simplicity in life

1. Life is need base never want base. Desires have no ends.
2. Simplicity is way of life and Indian culture highly stresses on simple living and high thinking, and this is the way of life: ‘Legs down to earth and eyes looking beyond the sky’
   

Industrial Leadership

1. Dean of the institute in 3 idiots is showing very typical leadership. He has his own principles, values and ideology, and he leads the whole institute accordingly.
2. This is an example of current institutional leadership. In the present scenario, most of the institutes are fixed in a block or Squarish thinking.

Love is time and space free

1. Trust your partner
2. Love is not time bound and space bound.
3. It is very well demonstrated in this movie same love was demonstrated by Krishna and Meera.
4. Love is border free, time free, unconditional and space free.

Importance of words in communication

1. If communication dies, everything dies.
2. Each word has impact and value in communication.
3. One word if used wrongly or emphasized wrongly or paused at a wrong place in communication what effect it creates and how is it affected is demonstrated very well in this movie.

Mediocrity is penalized

1. Middle class family or average talent or average institute is going to suffer and has to pay maximum price in the life if they do not upgrade their living standards.
2. To be born poor or as an average person is not a crime but to die as an average person with middle class talent is miserable and if you are unable to optimize your potentiality and die with unused potentiality then that is your shameful truth.
3. One should not die as a mediocre. He/she has to bring out genius inside him/her and has to use his/her potentiality to the optimum level
   
   
   

Something From Bawa

Q: What is the Sacrifice, Do you think sacrificing your choices, happiness for your parents is Right??? Is it right for me to give up on my happiness for their happiness???

Answer : NO. I think its very wrong, because you know you will do that and then you will blame them rest of your life. So please don't do that...Its better you have ALL OUT FIGHT with your parents, or you sit with them and convince them about your point of view. There is always scope for compromise, most parents will be very happy when the child is happy so it is just that your definition of happiness is different than their definition of happiness if you can get those both to coincide all your problems will get solved.

But it in certain cases of course you need to put your foot down and say "Hello Its my life and I want to live it like this and you better deal with it."; you may need to do that and please do that...

Like we say never confuse love and respect for your parents with obedience with your parents, you can completely disobey them and yet totally love and respect them that's fine. Haan and don't take it to the wrong extreme

Randomness

This article is inspired by one of the guest lectures in my college.
This just an attempt to put whatever I learn...

"Randomness is a Natural Rule"

If we toss a coin 20 times then there have to be 3/4 Heads or tails one after another i.e. HHH or TTTT or TTT or HHHH... it was of course hard to believe; but when I tossed coin 20 times there was one trail of 4 tails. Then I did it again and again and I found its true. I can't get all heads or all tails or rather alternate head and tail combination or two head then two tails kind of combination.

A very simple observations I did about the events happening in life and realized something, if we think that the Particular thing should work in particular way only, then there are going to be variations... We might start with something in mind and end up with something which we never thought of.

If things work in the way we thought of then there is something to think about either something is very nice or something is going wrong somewhere.
"Nothing can go straight there has to be fluctuations, if not then there is something to look for."

I feel Randomness is what applicable for life too, if I look back whatever I have gone through was all random... Rule applicable to everywhere.

Actually not getting more words to explain in details so not typing anything more...

Water flooded in my House....

Today was an Amazing day.... I realized that when I "accept problem as it is"; acting on it become more easier and rational actions can be taken.

After lunch, I get call from one of my room mate, asking me to come home as soon as possible... Voice was surprised? There was question mark ? and Confusion in his voice... Like something wrong or unknown is there.... Then I insisted him to tell, he said there is water all over the house, Washing machine's water outlet was kept outside only (While coming to college we normally put our washing machine on so when we come back we can have washed clothes).

But scene was different today, there was water all over our house, so I and krishna finally went home with total acceptance of situation... As soon as we reached we started acting on the problem, it was more like action oriented than "arguing on why this happened and how some one can be so careless in small small things and stuff" never wanted to disturbed my peace of mind so we took rational actions to find the solution than cribbing on problem .... Actually I remembered one Guru Story "Once Guruji was suppose to stay in one room and one of his devotee or someone suppose to look after room. When Guruji actually came there was water in his room, people around thought he will get angry now, but he acted fast and started throwing water out of the room, with full innocence and smile on face."

I liked today's experience... It was good learning "Accepting problem and acting on it is more easy than sitting and cribbing on it..." Cribbing is waste of time... that is what I realized today.

Back to School Days

This Saturday was a day of adventure, with my School friends... Our most awaited visit to ShinhGadh (Shivaji's Fort near by Poona, will discuss about it briefly in later part of this post).

Rainy day, three bikes and five old friends, biking till we reach top of the mountain. During rains this fort is under clouds; nature is at its absolute lovable mood. I am always in love with such places. On the way there is Khadakwasla Dam (Whole Poona city drink water because of this Dam)... We specially go to sinhgadh to just chill out and have typical village food on top of the fort.

Its is really wonderful to have school friends and being able to freak out with them... Each one of us have some or other nick name (given by someone in school in some and the otherway.) .
Nikhil named nikhlya, nikhya, taklya.
Uday named udya
Rupesh named rupya, rupdya..
Ashish named ashya,ash,ashu,ashi, kashi, boo, lambu,tangya, tangs... ohhh my god so many names these people gave me during my school days...

Sinhgadh is one of THE spots for us... Whenever rain starts first thing come in our mind is just to visit sinhgadh. This place has its own beauty which I just can't explain...

Yes... this time also I was doing crazy thing there, I went up on top of some hill on the range of high mountain, to take snap of one flower... :).... Only thing is; the WIND was in its full speed and felt a big time push to valley, I was about a one-and-half foot away from valley and somehow managed to hold some small stone... Flash of time... and ... I was smiling with a wonderful WOW experience, uday with his stupid and helpless face looking at me...


Ofcourse we visit Wind Point (This point has historical back ground too...) to experience treamandous wind force and clouds moving directly on face from damn green valley... Wind point is too good place...



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brief history of SinhGadh


Tanaji Malusare (Maratha worrior) is responsible for the capture of fort named KONDHANA from Mughals, this fort is strategically placed in the center of a string of forts of Rajgad, Purandar, and Torna. The capture of Kondana was necessary if Shivaji Maharaj was to re-establish de facto control over the Pune region.

Recognizing the strategic importance of Kondana, the Mughals had maintained a battalion of 5000 troops led by Udai Bhan, a relative of Mirza Raja Jai Singh. The fort was built in such a way that all its approaches were covered by cannon-fire. Only on turret was not well defended as it was at the top of a vertical overhanging cliff.

Tanaji decided that this was the only way, he could enter the fort. He dressed himself as a Gondhali (devotee of the Goddess Bhavani of Tuljapur) and roamed the surrounding villages. He won the trust of one Mahadev Koli who was in the service of Udai Bhan. Koli presented the disguished Tanaji to Udai Bhan, who was suitably impressed by this "devotee" and allowed him free access to the fort.

Tanaji carried out a careful surveillance of the fort and at that very night when he was told that at the overhanging cliff Udai Bhan and all his senior commanders would be celebrating a usual party with an alcohol and dance orgy; Tanaji decided that he should seize this opportunity.
With almost all his troops, Udai Bhan had a roaring party on top of the overhanging cliff. Unknown to them after midnight, Tanaji and his brave followers who numbered 300 scaled the cliff using ropes tied to a reptile called Ghorpad. The Ghorpad can stick fast to any surface and a number of adults can use this force to scale a vertical cliff with the help of a rope, one end of which is tied to the Ghorpad. Silently Tanaji and his comrades slunk up to the top of the cliff.
On the other side his uncle Shelar Mama and his brother Suryaji had moved close to the other gates of the forts with another 300 Mavalas (Maratha Soldiers). On a signal from Tanaji, all his comrades who has taken up strategic position all round the celebrating Mughal army, broke into the party and mercilessly fell upon their enemies. They started slaughtering the surprised and ill-prepared and drunken Muslim soldiers.
When Udai Bhan saw that Tanaji - the leader of this invading band of Marathas was no other than the devotee whom he had given permission to visit the fort, he flew into a mad rage. On seeing Tanaji, Udai Bhan rushed at him and we are told that for a few fatal seconds, Tanaji started dancing in the same fashion as he had done as a Gondhali (devotee) when he had met Udai Bhan earlier in the day. The enraged Udai Bhan lunged at dancing Tanaji and cut off the arm with which Tanaji was holding his shield. But undaunted Tanaji used his turban to ward off further thrusts from the blade of Udai Bhan's sword and continued fighting him for 2 hours in this state with his wristless left arm bleeding profusely. It is for this feat of Tanaji, that he is called Narvir - Brave amongst Men.At the end of this ordeal, the exhausted Tanaji fell to a fatal swish of Udai Bhan's sword. But Udai Bhan too was throttled by Shelar Mama and thus lost his life.
When Tanaji was in midst the festivities of his son's wedding and he was summoned to fight and recapture the fort of Kondana. All the guests persuaded him not to leave until the wedding of his son was over, but he was determined to fight back and he said the following words in Marathi," Aadhi lagin Kondanyache, mag lagin Raibache", (Marathi: आधी लगीन कोंढाण्याचे, मग लगीन रायबाचे) which means"First the marriage of Kondana(Fort) and then the marriage of Raiba(his son). By the statement, what he meant to say was that first priority was to recapture the Kondana Fort and then attend the wedding of his son Raiba. Due to his bravery and courage and his selfless devotion towards Swarajya and Shivaji, was he able to leave his son's marriage and die a martyr's life for the Maratha kingdom. So deeply moved was Shivaji by his devotion, that Shivaji himself quoted, "Gadh aala pan sinh gela", (Marathi: गड आला पण सिंह गेला) which means,"The fort is ours but we lost a lion". and this was the time when Fort Kondhana became SinhGadh, in the honor of great Tanaji Malusare. He was the Lion (सिंह) and Gadh (गड) means fort.

WIND POINT is the exact place from where Tanaji and his soldires came to Sinhgadh, top of the cliff... (How they would have manged to climb in Midnight.?????)...

I feel really proud to know so many things about the Great Marath Shivaji Maharaj and his loyal army, who were always ready to build Swarajya for Shivaji. Somewhere in the English literature I have read that, if shivaji would have lived for more 5-8 years, british people whould not even looked at India to cpture it... They were so much scared of Shivaji so Mughals too...

Affection that matters not perfection.

After being in banglore for such a long time, some of the really wonderful things and learning experiences happened... Some of the learning (sweet and bitter but pointing straight to the situation) are here...

Never being dependent on anyone though there is a direct confirmation from the other person or a friend; they may not be ready to go out of the track for even few moments.

People say, "give more and expect less", I feel you only give don't expect anything thats the best sutra.

When you have nature of giving,caring and sharing, never think that things wont go wrong,right intentions may lead to wrong result... At times its a happy realization "Ohh!!! I Never thought of it???"...

I wonder about this city, people who are not supposed to be stressed out, are under stress, then what will be the state of the mind of other normal people... It's a big city, but everyone here is alone... How can people live here without being affectionate with each other...???

Some evening one may have a really big fight with very close friend, but can both of them are affectionate enough to just drop whatever is happened; that matters...? Just like fight between two small kids... They fight and next moment they are together...

Nobody is perfect (I never understood, what is exact meaning of PERFECTION...???)... Mistakes, miss-understanding, miss-communication and miss-behaviour are part of any relation. It should be like that only right?

Never take anyone for granted, you never know, what the individual must be going through, be bit sensitive and non judgmental... Just let go.

Some days are just better and some are not so good... So what???... Just be calm...
-------------------------------------------------------------
There was one day in banglore when I was sitting on a foothpath(on a stool); when I went to stich my formal shoes(Formal sucks), that cobler was so calm and happy in his work, he was giving 100% and i was just observing his work.(After a very long time I was sitting under a huge,green tree.) Sitting there and obersving people like me was again a fun part.
On the same day evening I was in a big 5-star or 7-star hotel with my friend for dinner, waiters there were also very happy and giving there 100% in work. we both were also giving our 100% while talking, shraing and listening... I felt, whether I am on footpath or in a big palace, nothing is going to change inside. The person inside remains same...
-------------------------------------------------------------
Some days back I got a SMS on one of the perfect moment saying, "If you trust some one trust till the end; whatever the result may be, in the end either you will have very good friend or a very good lesson..." And this was THE moment when such kind of thought was required. It was the perfect timing for this sms...

Come what may what finally matters is the affection and not the perfection, no one is perfect...

When Time Stood Still...!!!...

When time stood still….
There were some blissful moments when time stood still for me… This is just an effort to recollect all those moments.

• Sitting on the edge of a fort and watching never ending valley… Everything remains the same except me… time just stop making its presence, no one is around only I and the valley- full of silence. Wind is the only one who was touching my existence…
• Getting very tired, doing tough hard physical work… Coming back to home and taking cold water bath. The very 1st drop on the body and that ahhhh!!!! Feeling….. That very moment, for a fraction of second time stood still.
• Sitting on the top of hill and looking at setting sun… dance of colors in the sky…
• Mid night, no moon, sitting on a beach, listing the silence between two waves and watching the sky- full of stars … Time stood still big time…
• Playing a piece of music and all notes touches at exact point … music just flows with in… Time stood still…
• Closed eyes, body is still, sitting for meditation… time stood still…
• Going close to nature, looking at a big waterfall, only I and that waterfall… Sound of falling water and movement of white color… Time stood still…
• Early morning, open eyes, lovely sea in front of me …. Time stood still…
• Rainy season, going for a long ride on bike, getting wet and looking at beauty of three parallel rainbows… Time stood still…
• Floating in sea water, looking at sky and relaxing the body on moving waves… listing to sound of breath… Time stood still….
• This one is Scary… Going in a Jungle with full of enthusiasm, going in and in; and at one moment I realized “I have lost the track, don’t know how to go out, no one is around, all directions look exactly same, mobile but no range battery was about to die, look up and look down, listening to the sound of wind, leaves of trees, some voices and sounds…. Body feels cold and breath becomes hot…” TIME STOOD STILL… This was a big time stillness I have ever experienced…
• This one is more Scary… During trekking there was one cliff almost vertical with very less ups and downs to hold while climbing and I had no equipments to climb, Somehow I managed to climb half and there was nothing to hold on, neither I could climb up nor could go down, nice cool wind was moving in the deep valley… I was in between couldn’t even float in air… I looked down green jungle and nothing was moving everything stood still….. !!!...

For me time always stood still whenever I came across something which is very vast either inside or outside, may it be a silence, music, water, personal experience or a Big Scary Jungle…. Time stood still is a very beautiful phenomenon I always loved to experience…
