Power to look at alternatives

When something is not in place when you want to do something, you should look for alternatives rather than procrastinating it.

I remember reading in a book that something exist in universe as they are. They just cann't change for your convinence. you should change yourself to exist with the things as they are or try to find alternatives. There are somethings that you can really change and make it adjustable to your nature.

Everyone needs to develop power to live with those cannot be changed, or try to look for alternatives. You need power to make your mind to look for alternatives when someting is not working for you.

A trip to HariHareswar and Dive Akar

Everyone was told to be there at office at 6 AM, but all were late except me and tour organisers. Finally, after loading necessary stuff and people, around 7.30 Am the bus was started for the destination. On the way, we picked up others from differnt places of pune.

While we were heading for our tour destination, we played some games like Antyakshari, House. It was so fun to observe the competition and teasing. Now and then we had glimpses of beautiful nature in valleys peering through bus windows. I took some snaps of those bueatiful locations. We stopped at Mahabhaleswar for breakfast around 11.00 AM. We had some special dishes of Mahabhaleswar. We went to a shop to see what is being sold there. We saw Strawberry related Jam, crush and so on. I took Strawberry jam and some chacoletes. Later, we got into bus and were riding towards Hari Hareswar. Mahabhaleswar was really a bueaty of nature. I amused the valley and slowly my senses moved into the deep meditation of sleep.
I got up from my deep thoughts of meditation as I felt muggy and sweaty. I presumed we reached the Arabian coast as it was such a humid. I asked one of us how far we were from the destination. I got the response saying another 2 hours of journey. Then I was trying to get back to sleep, but I couldn't succeed.


Finally, we reached our destination Hari Hareswar around 4 PM. We were given different rooms to stay and put our luggage in respective rooms. I was eagarly looking to take a tea and refresh. I enquried others and a few of us went to cafeteria. There was not tea. But canteen guys told us they prepared the lunch and said if it was not taken, it would be wasted. Then we all decided to refresh and came back to have lunch as much as possible. I washed my face and combed my hair. I got ready and waiting for other roommates to ready. All were ready and we went canteen to have lunch. We took some light food. Some of our guys went into sea and others were watching from shore. I was the one among group watching from shore.
Many were asked me to dive into sea, but I said I would go on next day morning. We spent some time there and moved back to take bath and later to have dinner. All were came to dinner place and we played a game of muscial chair. After this game, we all finished our dinner around 11 PM. Meanwhile, resort guys prepared the bonfire. We all reached the bonfire and circled to play the game of musical ball/disk. On the other side I was getting sleep. I was forcibly focusing on the game. Around 12 PM we stopped the game and celebrated the birthday of Sameer's wife. Later, we all dispersed to sleep.
The next day morning around 6 AM I and few of others went into sea and enjoyed the water waves massage. We spent almost an hour in the sea and came back to room. I took bath and got ready by holding camera to take some snaps. Other room-mates were still getting ready. I told them I would be at canteen for breakfast after taking snaps. I went outside with camera and met other guys we were already capturing stills. I joined them and took some snaps here and there. We returned to canteen to have breakfast. We finished breakfast. We thought to dump our baggage in bus and go to Hari Hareswara temple. Many of our guys moved ahead, but I was stuck as I didn't have my room key with me. I was waiting for others to come. It became late. It was about 11.30 AM when we departed from room. We reached the bus and observed all other guys who went earlier were not there. I pushed my luggage into bus and told rest of the guys I was going to call others. Along with me, I took another 2 guys. We went to see temple in the first place. We met the other guys in the temple. I asked them weather they had already visted the sea shore. They said they hadn't. I asked them to wait, so we would join them. We went for Darsan. By the time we came out from Darsan those were not there. After that, we took a path on the hill to sea the sea shore. It was awesome. It was a good picturesque. We saw others there. We took some snaps and I asked them to move as it was getting late. But one of our guys said there was another view point which was really good. I reiteratd that we were getting late to reach next destination. They insisted on going and finally I said okay. We went there and saw the view. It was really a bueatiful scenary.



Har Hareswar was a small village spotted with small hills and Hari Hereswara temple. The temple was very old. They laid out two paths to a hill adjescent the temple. One path lead to give a good sight seeing of sand sea shore. Other path lead to awefull view of rock sea shore.

Mantra

Today, I read an article in newspaper. It is talking about something Mantra.I guess you also feel some familiarity with this word. We generally use this word when we do Puja or meditation. Now, this word become business jargaon with the same meaning, but with different context. Mantra means repetion of some words in normal context. In business jargon, it is using the same principle or secret repeatedly to achieve great things.

Organizing Self

I wonder what is the meaning of organizing self. I heard and read many times. Does it mean organizing ourselves as a plan or activity? I could sesne that way. I , also, guess it should be something about planning all our activities in a proficient manner, similar to the way we plan any external activity or event.

We generally mess up our daily activities with a lot many things to do. This is becuase we don't have clear plan for our activities to be finished. We either plan or think about different activities at the same time and end up with uncertianity and no output. Sometimes, we think to see all activites being finished in no time, but nothing happens and we end up with piled up activites for next day.

I had read a story in one of the news letter about a person who did nothing by the end of the day when he thinks to do whatever come to his way.

He wanted to clean the car so he got pipe and he was searching keys and found paper on the table and he started reading news paper. He felt of having tea while reading the newspaper. He move towards the kitchen and saw some thing which outside of fridge. He took it and try to keep in fridge and saw a cool drink. He thought to drink and cool drink and took out and saw some dirt on the flower vase on the table. He kept the bottle aside and tried cleaning. While tyring to clean, he got a call. While talking on phone, he got remebered to call his girl friend. Like this the day was finished. Ultimately he did nothing. The time passed and the day was over. Becuase he was not organized himself what to do when, he got into such situation of wanting to do whatever comes into his way.

This is just becuase we don't have a plan or thought how to finish each activity in an organized way. When you handle activites criss-cross way, we will not be able to finish any of them. We need to have clear mind on what activity we should take up first and next. This is what I suppose organizing self. We do things or activites in an organized way. No confusion, no criss-cross. No wastage of time. Complete productivity.
