STORY OF A DESPERATE BLOGGER

I don't know if everyone whosoever blogs feels the same way as I do but I certainly have developed this unique desperation syndrome, which gives me attacks to write millions of thoughts floating into my mind. The syndrome is so dangerous that sometimes I have so many thoughts, so many ideas and so many different things floating through my mind at once that I finally end up spending large amount of time without moving out of my desk. Strangely, blogging is cutting my appetite and ending my basic need of living like water. The desperation of blogging has gone to that extent that I don't feel sleepy until I write something on my blog. That is not all, whenever I m reading something my thought process enters into the calculative mode with different thoughts evolving in support or against of whatever I m reading. On a positive note, I have become a intense thinker.

Curiosity of checking wheather a visitor on my blog has expressed something has touched a new level that whenever I open my lappy, the first thing I do is to open my blog to check for the new comments. The feeling of seeing a new comment has almost become equivalent to the feeling I used to have on seeing my good grades in the final report card. The joy to discuss and share what the readers have commented on my blog is priceless. My Blog is giving me such a wonderful experience that I tend to miss my blog if I m travelling and not accessing the internet.

Beyond, all the numerous things those I have mentioned above there is a very special thing that has happened to me called "Blogger Buddies". Still Guessing?? Well its you, all of you who have come to my blog and read various things with so much interest, and haven't shied away from expressing what their heart felt. Its a special bond, I have shared with all of you through your comments, arguments, appreciations and criticisms. With few that bond has even more strengthened as we have become friends via social networking sites and emails.

On a personal note, for me the whole experience with all the people whom I have come in contact through my blog has been so much scintillating!! I have met people from different geographies, different cultures and it's been so nice to hear their different and unique views that I feel like being a part of a global family where I have relatives from different countries. I really want to thank all of you for sharing this relationship with me through your readership and comments, and hope we only grow in numbers from here. Though, the desperation of writing is only going to increase with my addiction of expressing my feelings into words but still I enjoy it the most, after all there is so much to share:).

HOPE- A POSITIVE BELIEF

Whenever we do anything,
Whenever we take any decision,
Whenever we try anything new,
We just have one thing with us-'Hope'

We faith in someone,
We believe in something,
We get strength in doing something,
All are paved into us with one thing-'Hope'

Success looks easy to achieve,
Problems look easy to solve,
Money looks easy to earn,
Life looks simple to live,
'Hope' is what makes us do all.

I wondered, Would there be anything without it?
Would there be any positive thoughts without it?
Would there be any patience without it?
Would there be any motivation without it?
Would there be anyone ever, who might ever overcome failure without it?
I m certain, it would not be possible without the 'HOPE'

HOPE is a special word,
Its only essence is positivity.
No one ever hopes for the bad.
HOPE is a feeling,
We feel it to fulfill what we want.
HOPE is a Positive Belief.
So, lets Hope for the best together!!

THANK GOD WE HAVE NEW YEARS

Every year there is a buzz,
There is a lot of happiness,
There is a joy as we approach the Christmas.
Christmas marks the presence of winter,
The festive season, the lights all around,
The gifts and the arrival of the next brand New Year!!

Yes, the New Year is coming.
The New Year comes with a fresh breadth,
The fresh cool breadth of winter!!
Every one has new plans,
Every one wants to end old problems,
And everyone wants to change for the best.

The resolutions are made,
The goals are set,
And the career paths are decided.
Such is the charisma of New Year,
Suddenly we all have a vision for ourselves.

The New Year has become a symbol of new life.
For few who are doing well in life, its about doing better
And for others who are not, its about making it better.
The New Year is like an opportunity to forget the past failures,
And work for the success in the future.

Isn't it amazing that every 366th day
We get a chance to re-evaluate ourselves,
We get a chance to lease a new life,
And we get a change to better the future.
Wow, it’s wonderful!!

Thank God, we have New Years,
A chance, an excuse or a new life,
Whatever it is,
But it’s no less than a blessing.
A blessing in disguise!!

BE CAPABLE OF DOING THINGS AND THE SUCCESS WILL FOLLOW

Just a few days ago, I saw a wonderful Bollywood movie called "3-Idiots". I must say- well made movies always convey a useful message to the mankind and "3-Idiots" was certainly one of them. The movie had lots of interesting things in it, which if noticed can make a lot of difference to the one's life.

Among all the very special things in the movie, there was one message, which I thought had a lot of impact on me. The message was- "We Should Make Ourselves To Be Capable Of Doing Things And The Success Will Follow". I think this is one of the most amazing things if followed.

How many times in Life we have come across this question that- "M I Capable of Doing This Thing?". The question can actually be answered by no one but self. Probably the most important thing to answer that question is to understand that- "Do We Really Want To Do That Thing? Well, the thing I m talking about could be anything like a job or like a study program or may be some hobby etc. but the core to all this is- "Do We Really Wanna Do it?". If we know that we really want to do it then here you are all set to do things in the best possible way but if we aren't sure and we still start doing it because my family is forcing me or my friends are doing it then probably we have just started to live life on others terms i.e. exactly where the downfall has begun.

The point is one can only become capable of doing a thing in the best possible way when one really wants to do it. There is no denying to the fact that if one is fully capable of doing a thing in the best possible way then Success will follow. So, to be Successful in life its really important to be capable of doing your thing in the best possible way and to do the thing in the best possible way its important to understand what we really want to do in life, what really interests us and what we want to be in life by doing any specific things.

On a philosophical note, I would want to conclude here by saying that- We Human-Beings are probably the biggest mystery to ourselves, we raise questions and problems for ourselves, and the truth is only we can answer and solve them i.e. why we are so unique species, a complete unique creation of God.

GOLD WILL NEVER LOSE ITS LUSTER IN INDIA

In 1991, when the government of India shipped around 70 tonnes of Gold to UK under the deal with International Monetary Fund (IMF) for clearing the balance of payment, it was probably considered one of the biggest disgraces of the Gold loving nation but the Indian government has confidently brought back the forgotten pride in style by buying nearly 200 tonnes of Gold from IMF. Certainly, it came as a surprise to the whole country as nobody predicted a move such as this from the government in the present scenario but the government’s surprise move has moved India into the league of top 10 Gold holding nations at 10th spot, moving up from its previous position of 14th.

Historically, Indian Kings and Rulers had treasures, which mainly consisted of the Gold Bullions and Gold Coins but later all the Gold was looted by the foreign powers who ruled on India. Nevertheless, no love was lost for the shining looking metal and Gold never lost its sheen among the people of India. If the statistics from the experts are to be believed India is a Gold crazy nation and if the unofficial figures are to be trusted there is about 60000 tonnes of Gold in the country. Gold is considered to be the favorite gift on various festivals celebrated in the country and thanks to the huge number of festivals celebrated in India because of its multi-cultural and diverse facets. The figures also show that the sale of Gold Coins has always maximum at the time of Diwali Festival as the Hindus will pray the Goddess Laxmi embedded on the coin. One other interesting fact shows that more bullions of the precious metal are sold on the festival of Dhanteras, just before the Diwali festival.

Not only the festivals but also the Gold ornaments being put on by the Indian couples at the time of marriage has always kept the demand of Gold high in the country. Gold has been always considered as a major component in the “dowry”, Oooops….I said the wrong term as it’s called as “the Gifts” since the time dowry has become illegal in India. The Gold prices have almost tripled in last 10-12 years, which have certainly made it clear that Gold prices are here to rise and more people are now seeing the precious metal as a source of investment. Many banks have started attracting the investors with various plans of buying Gold bullion as investment but still the Indian market consists of almost 50% of non-certified Gold. There is still a lack of awareness among the consumer about the original quality of Gold and people have not yet zeroed down there confidence on any particular retailer. Nevertheless, the enthusiasm of Gold buyers is unbeatable in India and it doesn’t stop them from buying Gold bullion in bulk. Certainly, one thing is for sure that the Gold will never lose its luster in India.
