What makes you tick


Is it a dollop of ice cream or ripe sweet mangoes ? Or is it slices of bread laden with butter, cheese, jam or marmalade ? Is it cherries, grapes or strawberries ? Does the mention of all these do something to your taste buds ?
Can it be too a game of chess or word zap ? Or just relaxing lazily on a hammock ? Have you ever given this matter some thought ?
Perhaps it interests you to read a cozy book or even write down anything coming to your mind ? Or to go for a walk or jog.
It could well be listening to some favorite music or even cooking of gardening ? Do some colors make you feel good like blue or even red ? Green is a color which is pleasing to all as it gives the feeling of coolness to the eyes.
It also can be watching a good movie on TV or even your phone. In any case it is important to be sure about what can make you feel good - something that ticks you 
It will help to make your life lively and happening. There are so many things in this world. This life is a grand conglomeration of mind blowing number of bits.
One can go out and shop or go for a picnic. One can go for boating, fishing or even a trek. There are myriad possibilities. Just keep and open mind and do not let the mind be frozen on something particular.
One can even spend time meditating or praying. This will also bring calmness to the mind and make one stronger to face the occasional throes of life. It will also help to overcome and allay the natural fears of the mind.
In whatever one does the level of enthusiasm plays a great role. At the same time initiative and motivation are also two important factors.
Life should not feel like a burden - it should be source of immense pleasure. Ask yourself often how much you like life. If by chance the answer is that you are tired of life - it is time to react proactively and even seek help as far as possible.
To build enthusiasm one should have a set routine for the day and sleep well too. For good initiative and motivation one should develop a long list of healthy interests.
Avoid too much fixation on a particular interest unless it is a healthy passion. Channelization of the mind is of utmost importance to avoid any kind of frustration. Try to have 4-5 interests and hobbies that turn you on in parallel.
Playing indoor and outdoor games is a good way to release the inherent tensions of the mind and body. There are so many games available like Billiards, Snooker, Pool, Table tennis, Badminton etc.
To occupy the mind well there are crosswords and many other word games like scrabble...Life is like an ocean of every kind of things. If one path is blocked do not despair as there are hundred more to be explored.

Keep smiling - Nobody is ugly

  It is about a poor stupid kid who went astray in his thinking when he was just 7-8 years old. Once he was examining himself in the mirror & what he found he did not like. He took another faltering step destined to give him shocks of his life much later in life. He decided to pick up a hand mirror & examined his profile too. His dread turned into a conviction especially when he saw how his lips puckered when he smiled or laughed. He saw it as his duty to present the best of aesthetics to the world. This lead him to take a ghastly decision not ever more to smile and laugh openly and heartily. From 1983-90/1, it was all - career, family especially, going great guns for him in the context of health, wealth, wisdom. He had a cute son too. He was lucky and able in every way. Later after having borne the aftermath of the childhood horror around the age of 30 when everything got shattered because of being hit by terrible depression in Paris, though by this time he had been able t...

Resolving not to look back

According to the Gita it seems there is a spiritual sky or world apart from our material world, not visible readily to our imperfect senses. It seems that the material world is only a quarter of the spiritual world. The other interesting point to be noted is that - as the material world is full of miseries linked to birth, death, ageing, injury and disease, the spiritual world is completely rid of these. The bodily conception of life is based on the fact that life is there while the body is living but the soul which is an integral part of life is eternal and never dies like the body. To attain the spiritual sky or the lord, referred to as Krishna in the Gita the living entity must serve the super soul as an eternal servitor. In fact that is the Sanatana Dharma which is not a religion actually but the most natural occupation of the living entity. Serving the lord in every way while remembering him brings satisfaction and happiness to the spirit soul just like it does to each organ of th...

Wanderer

She was a puny bit of the whole conglomeration. Though so tiny she could move. She was moving at breakneck speed with so many others like her and they all seemed like long lost sisters. When she became conscious of herself she was swimming away to glory to she did not know where. She had vague memories of being part of a bigger whole where she was going round in endless circles with many others like her. But those memories had faded away fast when she found herself a microscopic part of this exodus. They all did not know where they started and where was the end of this mass migration. In her awareness there was little bit of purpose to all this. As if all their tiny efforts added up to great constructive actions of a big body. But apart from this vague idea she had no inkling about this body of which they all were just parts. There were other ideas floating around that they were all relays of forces which made movements of parts or organs in the body possible. And that there were many ...
