Independence & Individualism

Independence and Individualism are always in a pair. If you are seeking Individualism then you need a true independence. So that you can come out as Individual rather being an instance of already existing living objects. On the other side, true independence can achieved by being an Individual. Achieving independence is difficult because we all are inter-dependent on each other some or the other way. However, being in inter-dependence state, you can still achieve Individualism and those who can reach that level are actually a true Individual.

Independence for most of us is to have freedom to make our own choices. True Independence includes a "freedom of not to choose" as well. Many times it happens that we don’t have choice of not to choose and we are going with tide. And we still feel that we are independent and made our own choice.

Worry..!!!

"As soon as we get something bigger to worry, then only we leave the existing one..."

Change is inevitable..!!

Someone has truly said,

God grant me

the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;

courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know the difference....

Random thoughts....

My observation says

"Running will help to enhance our patience level"

Today, my friend got stitches ….!!

Today is very dark day for me, because one of my close friends got a big injury. The cut is very big, so the stitches must require. He is crying and shouting because of the pain due to stitches.

/// Flash back ////

Few years back, I met this friend first time in some store. Very interactive and talkative. I was very happy to meet a friend like him. He is very caring, always be in lighter mood to give a feeling of comfort. In almost all outdoor activities he was with me. He was with me on trekking adventure, camping and jungle adventure and saved me from many obstacles. He helped me to keep the grip while walking on smooth surface and wouldn’t allow me to fall down in any of the trekking. However, I was always missing him in formal occasions because he doesn’t like such occasion. Also, I haven’t forced him to join such kind of occasion.

Few days back we both have registered for the Mumbai marathon and he promised me that we will definitely complete the marathon. But everything is not in our hand. During the last week’s trekking, he got a big injury and I have brought him here for the stitches. He is a wonderful friend and I am offering a prayer to GOD about his better health and quick relief. Who wants to loose such a friend…!!!

///come back ///

Today, my mate is sitting in the laps and shouting due to pain. Now, He is no more in a condition to either walk or run, though after lots of attempt he was saved by cobbler.

While returning home, I am extremely upset about my sport shoe’s health and his life.

Talagad and Ghosalgad Trekking

Talagad and Ghosalgad (the twin forts), we covered in single day. Talagad fort is situated on the bank of the Malati creek (a small stream, often a shallow or intermittent tributary to a river connected to the sea), Ghosalgad is situated between the Sawle Creek and Revdanad creek. The main reason of building these forts are to keep vigil on the invaders, who can get in, through western coastline. In Ghosalgad the point where they keep a watch on this creek is called "Canon Point". We saw an old canon at this point. Also, there is one "Chor darwaja" from where they can get out of the fort when they lost the battle for the fort.

These forts were strategically and amazingly build. It is interesting to know about their existence and story behind it.

Let's respect and preserve our national heritage and glory...!!!

I have captured some photos during this trekking.

You can see the creek in this photograph.

wishful words !!!...when turned into reality...

In my previous post here, I have talked about the unintentional curse. Similarly, we also give wishful words during our conversation. Ofcourse, it is happy moment for us that our wishes are helpful to others to fulfill their dreams. We always try to do that. But little surprising on the other side that our wishful words converted into reality.

A small scenario of my wishful words for others. me and my friend colleague were having conversation about his life’s crucial thing (here some crucial things means which can not possible with efforts, hard work. They need lots blessing and wishes). He is very negative, pessimistic and having uninterested kind of attitude. During the conversation, I have rested him with lots of argument and just give a few words about a must possibility of that thing. When his life changing wish came true just few days back, he was very happy and was telling that your words converted in reality.

On the other side I was wondering about that my words were converted into reality. Being in this science world, we definitely think that it was a co-incidence. But slightly spark will surely happen in back of your mind that might be some person’s wishful words can convert our wish into reality. No wonder that we must be looking for such kind of person and their wishful words.

A humorous part about this incident is that when I told to my friend that my words are not converting my wish into reality. He suggested I should try against mirror and give some wishful words about myself… Not a bad idea !!!.......he he he :) :)
