LESSONS FROM A NEWBORN

VJ's avatarOne Woman's Quest

Rest. Nap as often as you need;
life can be exhausting – store up.

Cry. Let your feelings be known –
your voice is your saving grace.

Joy is a whole body experience;
immerse yourself in total delight.

Hold on to those who love you;
your survival depends on them.

See the world through new ideas;
you never know what thrills await.

Listen intently when others speak;
they will be your captive audience.

Imitate other. Practice until you
have found your own expression.

(Image mine)

Trust the process, living fully
in each moment. Be present.

Honour the miracle of existence;
embrace the blessing that is you!

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THERE IS NO LEADER IN A COMPANY

Kally's avatarMiddleMe

In a work week, it is not always guaranteed that you will find your boss or team leader at work. They may be busy attending meetings or events or doing their tasks overseas or at

home.

When this happens, what should you do? Do you use the time to take a break? Should you continue with your projects even if they are not around?

Studies have shown that teams will need a leader to stay productive and orderly because when they are not around, here are the things that happen:

– Disorganised Team

One of the most notable things when your team leader isn’t around is the team’s disorganisation. Team members are uninterested in speaking to one another, and it is harder for tasks to be done. With leaders present, they ensure that everyone is on hand with their tasks and be the middleman to speak to each member if…

SAY NO TO TOBACCO

Sand art by Sudarsan Pattnaik

The theme this year for World No Tobacco Day is “Grow food, not tobacco”.

Debasis Nayak's avatarB +Ve!!

On world no tobacco day let’s take a pledge : “we will not use any tobacco product ourselves and will generate awareness among others in our community”

It’s quite a sensitive issue when children are exposed to such products in their school days. They follow elders and we can’t blame if we a find a teenager smoking. I have seen small to big signboards and banners at many places with a clear message in block letters. But who cares these ‘no smoking’ warnings. One such board is there in my compound I stay currently. Our colony has several families with school going children. It’s quite harsh to see elders not caring much for the need of others. I don’t know if they don’t understand the need or do not want to understand.

Few public places are no different including our railway compartments. I am sorry to reveal this truth but…

प्यास / THIRST

KK's avatarKaushal Kishore

कहीं भी और कभी भी
गिरने लगते हैं,
आँखों से आँसू ,
इस तथ्य की परवाह किए बिना
कि मेरी प्यास बढ़ जाती है
उनके इस कृत्य से…

👀👀👀

Tears start falling
from the eyes anywhere
and at any time,
regardless of the fact
that this act of theirs
makes me thirsty…

EXPERIENTIAL/SOCIAL LEARNING – I

It is usually conceived experiential learning as something we learn from our own experience by doing. I feel we can correlate our experiences with others and have relatable learning from experience of others as well. Here’s an example.

आज मैंने एक विज्ञापन देखा सच में दिल को छू गया उसमें एक नवविवाहित जोड़ा तैयारी कर रहा होता है अपने घर में एक नए सदस्य के आने की ।उसे लेकर वह लोग बहुत उत्साहित और कुछ चिंतित भी होते हैं कि क्या वह अपनी जिम्मेदारियां अच्छी तरह से निभा पाएंगे वह दोनों एक दूसरे को इस बात के लिए प्रोत्साहित वह आशान्वित करते हैं कि वे बहुत नेक कार्य करने जा रहे हैं जो ना केवल समाज के लिए बल्कि उनके परिवार के लिए भी बहुत अच्छा होगा इसके बाद वह नवविवाहित जोड़ा एक वृद्ध आश्रम में जाता है और वहां से एक वृद्ध महिला को अपनी मां बनाकर घर लेकर आता है |

यह दृश्य अति हृदय स्पर्शी लगता है आज जहां पर भारतीय परिवार का स्वरूप बदल रहा है संयुक्त परिवार की परंपरा विस्मृत होती जा रही है और भारतीय परिवार छोटे और एकल परिवार का मानक बनता जा रहा है वही इस तरह के उदाहरण हम सभी के लिए एक दिशा सूचक प्रेरणा का कार्य कर रहे हैं ।विडंबना की बात तो यह है कि यह भारतीय संस्कृति जो” सेवा परमो धर्म “को उद्धृत करती है तथा बहुत सारे आदर सूचक संस्कारों व कर्तव्यों के लिए जानी जाती है जहां सदैव ही घर के बुजुर्गों को बहुत सम्मान दिया जाता है उनकी आज्ञा का पालन किया जाता है ,और उनके अनुभवों से नई पीढ़ी का पोषण किया जाता है , वहीं आज भारत में अधिक संख्या में वृद्ध आश्रम बन रहे हैं और सबसे ज्यादा शर्मनाक बात यह है कि इस तरह के कृत्य अधिकतर तथाकथित मध्यम वर्ग और उच्च वर्ग के परिवारों से हो रहे हैं |

वास्तव में हमारी वर्तमान पीढ़ी किसी छद्म आजादी की चाह में इतनी भ्रमित हो चुकी है कि सहनशीलता ,सहृदयता ,सेवा और प्रेम जैसे मूल्यों का परित्याग करने के लिए आतुर है आधुनिकता प्रतिस्पर्धा और तरक्की की होड़ में वह इतनी अंधी हो चुकी है कि जीवन चक्र के इस क्रम का निरंतर अनादर करती जा रही है ।अज्ञात भविष्य की कल्पना में वर्तमान को अंधकारमय बना दिया गया है मोह व स्वार्थ के वशीभूत होकर वह आज जो अपने बच्चों को दे रहे हैं वह कल उन्हीं के लिए बहुत घातक सिद्ध होगा। बेहतर होगा कि हम समय रहते संभल जाए अन्यथा जो आज उनका है वही हमारा कल होगा जो प्रेम और विश्वास हम अपनी संतान को दे रहे हैं और अपेक्षा कर रहे हैं कि हमें भी मिले तो उसकी शुरुआत बस यही से करनी होगी। अपने बुजुर्गों का सम्मान करें, सेवा सुश्रुषा करें कर्मों से शुद्ध रहे बाकी तो सब अज्ञात है, मात्र अनअस्तित्व में अस्तित्व की तलाश है।

तुलसीदास जी ने कहा है

कोऊकर तर्क बढ़ावहीं शाखा होनी वही जो राम रचि राखा।।

THE HEART OF A GARDENER

Val T Boyko's avatarFind Your Middle Ground

The heart of a gardener
opens to the call of the earth.
Every Spring and through
the cycles of time
the call is there to plant,
sow, water and create
an expanse of color,
texture, light and shadow.

The heart of a gardener
is a creator and artist,
displaying and weaving
patterns, while tending with
the love of Mother Nature.

The heart of a gardener is Love.

REFLECTION

AB's avatarPerspectives on Life, the Universe and Everything

memories longing forgiveness

when nothing could be done

to undo, relive past

why time and tide

ebbs, flows fast

leaving no moment

to reflect, adjust, adapt

errors of judgement,

random acts of subterfuge,

insensitive words deluge,

destroy what is near, dear

to the heart and soul

nothing remains untouched, whole

only too much time to reflect

your loneliness

INTERNATIONAL TEA DAY

It is an annual observance day declared by the united nations. International Tea Day is observed annually on May 21 to recognise the long history and cultural and economic significance of tea around the world, as well as the significant role it plays in rural development, poverty reduction and food security in developing countries.

The story of tea begins in China. According to legend, in 2737 BC, the Chinese emperor Shen Nung was sitting beneath a tree while his servant boiled drinking water, when some leaves from the tree blew into the water. Shen Nung, a renowned herbalist, decided to try the infusion that his servant had accidentally created.
