Truth

I was reading an article about "Positive Points" which ignited my thoughts on this.

Truth - Its very powerful. We always say one need to be Truthful in his say, in his writing or in his actions. In India we always site Mahatma Gandhi as an example to explain Truth. We also talk about Sita when we say how "Truthful" she was to Lord Rama. We also talk about "(H)Arichandra(n) while we talk about truth. But the two examples I am giving here doesn't involve any of these big names but it gives you a very powerful message about Truth.

First One. (Article By Mr. Niranjan in Kumudam on Positive Point)

In this article , he talks about a father & son going to an exhibition where the tickets were sold on two categories . For adults it is Rs.10/- and for the Kids (below 6years) is Rs.8/- . His son was eight years old but he doesn't look like an eight year old, where as he looks like a five year old. The father buys two adults ticket and the person at the counter is surprised that why he is taking tickets for two adults and ask the person to take one adult and one kid ticket. The father says he is 8 years. The person at the counter says, no issue as he doesn't look like that and you are not going to be in trouble because of this.

But the father replies as saying " I don't want my son to feel that just for the sake of two rupees , I am telling a lie and it will set a bad precedence for him when he grow" . It stops here.
I feel , the concerned father would not have been able to get what ever things his son would have want, but definetely he has laid a strong foundation for his son's future "

What a powerful message this article has carried. We the parents as a Role Model to our kids , we should first try to be truthful to ourselves and we should impart the same at the grass root level , i.e. right from the time when our kids start understanding what we say , what they see or what they read.

Second One. ( This is from the Interaction I had with my friend Mr. Kuppusamy, Inspector of Police ) I was requesting my freind to share some of the unforgettable incidents in his career and he stated this.

There was a murder that took place and a hearing was going on in the court in connection with that. The adults who has seen the murder were not willing to tell the truth due to obvious reasons and the police force was finding it tough to prove the case. There came the angel of "Truth". A kid aged about 6 years who has witnessed the horror voluntarily came forward to the police station and asked the concerend officials in the station , that you have invited only my father to the court as a witness where as I was also a witness to the horror and why you have not invited me? This question has put the constable in a fix in that station and he has checked up with my friend how to proceed on this. My friend has told his colleague to take the kid to the court. When all the witnesses has failed to tell convincingly about the incident, this kid was asked to tell the court as witness.

The Judge , by knowing the age of the kid wanted to understand from the kid , whether he is sound enough to make a statement in a court.

The Honourable Judge has asked the kid , " What do you mean as Truth and What do you mean as Lie?"

The kid has spontaneously replied "Sir, Whatever we see through our naked eye is true and what ever we couldn't see with our naked eye is lie"

The Honourable Judge was quite impressed with the statement and took him as a witness and the case was proved against the accused and they were awarded 14 years of imprisonment.

What a powerful statement the kid has made.? Imagine the kid is from a village and doesn't have proper education. So who has thought the kid the Truth? Infact no one. It is in built in him. "Truth is inbuilt in every Kids". But we the elders start polluting them and inject virus in their nest. So, if, we the elders show more seriousness and responsibility while handling our kids , we can make a brighter and truthful society.

I love Dr. Abdul Kalam and I follow his advise and I dream for this to happen.

Thoughts

" Every Night gives you a hope of Brighter Tomorrow. Every Morning gives you a chance to realise and achieve your hope of previous night"

" Morning - Its Pleasent

Day - Full of Challenges

Evening - Keeps your Thought Process up & running

Night - Full of Dreams"

"Every night is a rehersal of our end. When you get up in the morning remember this and make sure that you have a good day, meaningful day and a satisfying day."

Human body is a Mystery and Miracle. When you sleep in the night you don't know whats happening around you. Your database is put to rest completely. The night is beautiful for every human being, because it doesn't have jealous in him, it doesn't have hatred in him,it doesn't have vengence in him. But when the morning comes our data base gets corrupted by a sudden virus attack and we all react very differently.

Let me compare a human mind to that of a PC. For me both are same. What ever data you input into a PC it comes as an output. It gives you advantage to review , analyze and reconcile your data. Similarly what ever data you input in your mind it comes to you as an output. Again there is a chance for you here to review , analyze and reconcile your data. But the key difference is, PC will give you only the data you have stored , but the mind can give you a different data , if you are influenced by external sources . Both the data can get corrupted by an virus attack and there is a possibility of data getting crashed . So it is necessary that you do the virus check every day to have your data intact and keep the virus away.

Your everyday input data should be of good & positive thoughts , so that whenever you retreive your data it gives you only positive & good thoughts as your output data.

Reception Dinners

Over the last couple of months , I attended some wedding receptions and I had some good(?!) experience .

In one of the Reception which I went , I had to stand in queue for 40 mts to reach the couple to wish them with our gifts and after that we headed towards the dinning hall and by seeing the crowd there we thought it will take another 40 mts to get a seat and we decided to move. We took our dinner at a nearby Restaurant and my driver was amused by our behaviour. (He would have thought what a people we are??!!! Having Second Dinner after a reception retreat!!!) But what I couldn't digest was , people were literally standing behind the person who is eating to ensure that their seat is booked or assured and making the person who is eating to an embarasing position and he or she is really made to go on a fast track mode.

In another Reception , they locked the dinning hall once it was full & those who are waiting for the next batch was asked to stand outside and once the gate was open it was like getting a Cinema ticket.

People are inviting every one but they don't plan whether they will be able to handle such huge gathering at a given marriage hall.

Let's think something innovative to avoid the following:

1. Embarasement to the guest
2. Wastage of Time
3. Wastage of Food

Suggestions:

1. Issue Food Coupons (Sodexho or Accord) and which can be effectively used
2. Issue Gift Vouchers
3. Tie up with some good restuarants in the city and give them vouchers which can be used at the hotels say within one month from the date of the occassion.

Think about this . Looking forward to your comments.
