Facts + Assumption = Conclusion.
Facts are already present in this world. We can’t question them and we just have to accept them. To reach the conclusion, the only variable parameter in above equation is Assumption.
This equation is also applicable in our day to day life. You can see that we are living with lots of assumption. Actually speaking we can’t live without assumptions. Of course, out of which some are really true and lead to the right conclusion. On the other side, the ones which are not true might lead you in deep valley sometime.
But the important point which I would like to point out is the assumption should be your own. You shouldn’t flow with other’s assumption. While flowing with your own assumptions,my opinion is you will learn a lot…!!!!

Enemy’s enemy is our friend …!!!
Is that really true…?
We heard this dialogue many times in our everyday conversation, also sometime in the movie, drama and all.
In general, we take time to build a trust on someone or relationship with someone. But when the situation arises as the above dialogue describe, somehow we will start feeling trust when we meet enemy’s enemy. We never scrutinize them as we usually did while making trust on others. We feel some kind of attachment and without reluctant we start sharing many things. We somehow feel that someone is there in our legion to support us in a war against our enemy.
We always look for the shelter and support when we are in deep trouble but it’s not true that every shelter is genuine and trustworthy.
It’s not always true that “Enemy’s Enemy is our friend…!”

RoadSide Ring walah....
Few days back, on the Footpath, I encountered one Ringwala on my way towards office, who was selling fortune rings, He was claiming that all his rings can change fortune and help in increasing your wealth.
Actually speaking, I don't believe in all those things but with curiosity, I went there and started hearing his conversation very carefully. Whoever interested has to give their name and birthday, on that basis he was calculating something and selecting one ring from the box. Very interesting...!! That fortune ring cost you Rs 50. I thought very pittance amount to change your fortune… If it’s really true.
Sudden question clicked in my mind and without hesitation I asked Ringwala. “Bhaiya, using this if you can change anyone's future or fortune, why can’t you use one for your own self...” That guy understood my point but he didn't want to argue because he was worried that he might loose his rest of the customers. Even I was also getting late so left the conversation in-between and start walking on my way towards office.
Just giving a thought to this whole incident, you can see that Ringwala is also trying to change his fortune by selling fortune rings to those who do not believe that "change of fortune is in our own hand, not in some ring". Ringwala also knows very well that ring can’t change your fortune and that’s why he is not wearing but just selling them.

sharing the thoughts....
Always in discussion with your friends or in office culture, there are chances that views and opinion will clash. As per my view this should happen because you come to know many more ways how others are looking at that thing.
At times people get so rigid on a particular point because of their ego or sometime due to their self esteem, so that others will come to know what you want to listen as colleague or boss or a friend. As soon as the other person come to know about it, he will only tell you only those things what you want to listen. When this happens, you are become vulnerable. The actuality lost in that case and you end up sometime in a big mess. Becoming so rigid on some points may clear to others that this is the only way other person want everything, so handle him in that direction.
Might be while climbing up the management ladder, you might have to be the person who always tell their own boss that what they want to listen. But while internal ethics come, you realize that you did something very wrong for your own selfishness. On the other side, you end up in a situation that your boss will show a red-eye while you oppose their opinion and show them the actual genuine way. In these circumstances, you might have to look at the situation and hit the ball such that there you will not get caught at the boundary.
This is not true when you are in friend circle. Ensure that you will have a friend who will not give you a biased view. This should be the discriminating factor between the actual real friend and just visitors in your own life.

Miserable night before the Holi day
I think its too late to say happy Holi but still "Happy Holi" to everyone
Because of some mythology about Holika and Bhkat Prahalad, Holika Pujan has been followed by the people. Holika Pujan takes place on a day before the Holi festival. People light bonfire to celebrate the victory of "good" over "bad". Another purpose is to burn all your impurities from your body and make yourself pure to live healthy and wonderful life ahead.
The actual motive behind writing this blog is little different. Let’s see the actual reality on that night before the Holi festival.
When I was walking towards home after my office hours, I saw in each and every building premises, people were lighting woods. I saw that this bonfire will stay long as they had made thick layer using lots of woods. People were really happy by doing all this worships and Pujas around this bonfire.
By seeing all this, in a little frustrating mood I have reached home. After sometime when I was planning to go to bed, I had opened my window. Just shocked..!!! So much smoke was in the air on both the side of my flat. This smoke was because of (Holika) bonfire on both side of my building. All smoke was coming into my room and spreading all over as fan was running. Immediately, I closed the window. Because of this smoke, it was really difficult for me to sleep and get the proper oxygen. It was really a miserable night a dramatic sleep in this smoky environment.
I was just thinking that why people become so blind to follow the rituals. In madness of following these simple rituals, they cut many trees and used tons of woods in bonfire. Why can't they gathered at one place and do whatever Puja and worship, if they can't live without it. They are just not seeing the future in the madness of following this kind of rituals. I really have a doubt that GOD has ordered them to follow all these rituals.

The Camp @ Mahuli…..contd...
Little afraid thinking that what I will do there as I am not knowing anyone. As we gathered at the station, I got the idea that nobody knew each-other. I think co-ordinators had planned in such a manner that no group will be there. So everyone get a chance to know each other and make new friends. Thanks a lot to them.
Let me describe the activity in day by day…
First day: After getting down at Assagaon station, they have arranged the open Auto rickshaw to take us to the base village Mahuli, almost 15 km away from the station. A wonderful ride, I can say on the odd-even road giving you a massage on your butts. J After reaching there, I saw all around, there are a temple and a small house. I thought how do we manage here? We put our luggage in the temple than there was icebreaking round - very boring actually speaking. I thought why I am here..? How will I spend my three day here..? Almost everyone has a same thought; I came to know when we were talking to each other.
But from the next hour the adventure began. We all have been divided into the teams (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Fox) and I am a Bravo. Then there is a treasure hunt game. We have to solve clues and that clue’s answer with the co-ordinator and they are out in the jungle. You have to find them and get the correct answer so you will get another clue. A wonderful game, scorch all our energy while running in the heat. After that, a brief lecture-baji on the nature, moutaining and how to manage safety and security of your own self – of course it’s boring but very informative. In the evening, we built our tents as we have to stay in tents. First time I came to know how to build a tent.
On that day, we went into the jungle to collect Lakdis (not ladkis) and then we made Birbal’s khichadi (as we don’t have anything to cover our pan) J . Excellent but fearful jungle ride at midnight after eating self made khichadi.
Day was good but very hectic and tiresome.
Second Day: we woke up around 4:30 in the morning, that really gave me a feeling that I was somewhere in Military camp. We have to fetch the water out from the well and complete your day to day activity. J. Totally new experience.
Then actual adventure begins by travelling almost few km in jungle – Rappelling and Rock climbing. Of course initially there was a fear but after I was in everything was really adventurous. I really enjoyed it.
At the end of the day, they arranged a documentary movie – which is quite boring and I was in half sleeping mode.
Third Day: 26th January- Republican day. In the morning, at breakfast, everybody greeted each other HAPPY REPUBLICAN DAY. Again the adventure began at around 6 in the morning. There is first photo in the last blog which was our destination and we were planning to reach there by 9. Of course it’s a tough ride by passing through all the rocks and climbing up without any support. A wonderful nature walk.
After reaching there, we did national flag ceremony with our national anthem. Different experience altogether, when you were doing all these in the jungle, away from the city life. Then we did conservation activity like - Fort conservation, Graffiti cleaning, Making a path to give direction towards Fort. Also did some environmental activity like Garbage collection, tree plantation – awesome experience - where IT professional having a habit to work in plush offices now they all are working with villagers in the burning heat.
Many more things you can learn from the Nature and this way camping out in Jungle. Participation in this kind of activity sometime gives you an immense satisfaction.
Might be we are not doing many things but a little foot-step of everyone towards this kind of conservation activity may end up creating a drastic positive change in the environment.
