The Unsung Heroes

In this auspicious week of anniversary of Indian Indepdence, I pay my tributes to the unsung heros of India who demonstrated unmatched committment towards their duty.

I was touched when I read a short story in the English book of my daughter; THE INDIAN HEROES (26/11) written by Anonymous.     



1. The care takers of the burial ground in Mumbai; refused to take the dead bodies of the terrorists of 26/11

2. Vishnu Dattaram Zende; the railway announcer at CST who kept on announcing and alerting people about the terror attack in the midst of the crisis there.


3. Karambir Singh Kang (Manager Hotel Taj); who lost his wife and daughter in the treadgy while helping and saving guests in Hotel Taj.

4. Mohammad Taufeeq aka Chotu chailwala; who helped to transport the victims to hospitals and helped saved many lives.

5. Sandra Samuel; saved the life of two year old child Moshe Holtzberg during Nirman point attack. The child lost the parents in that terrorist attack.

6. Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan (NSG Commando); laid down his life while fighting the terrorists and saving the life of his fellow soilders.

7. Hemant Karkare, Ashok Kamte, Vijay Salaskar; lost their lives while chasing terrorists near Cama Hospital.

Salute to these selfless souls...

Jaihind!

Baby Steps...

How often do we notice the way we treat ourselves in every moment? Do we need to revisit our relationship with ourselves? These   thoughts   were revealed to me in     “self healing” session.                 Few weeks back, I was healing my most knotty issue which is related to my career.   My friends know about the step I took few years back regarding my career and surprised everyone. The good part was, my entire family did not question for a single time on my next move as if everybody was so confident about my thoughts and skills. Three years have passed and I am heading on the path I chose with full determination though the road is rough and tough. As a human, I am also having emotions which often pull me down. I feel sometimes that I am blocked . Even though I am having skills but, not applying it in optimum way or, let’s say the minimum required quantum of work is missing. This self analysis burdens me with a heavy weight of guilt on my heart and numbs me. I

Misconceptions in Astrology: MANGLIK DOSHA

As an astro counsellor, generally I hear some quotes from the people about certain yogas (planetary combinations) and planets, which are percieved to be dangerous and, even life threatening. Examples: Manglik dos h a (a combination formed by the placement of Mars [Mangal] in the natal chart). It is believed that, it can create havoc in the married life of a person. Shani (Saturn) is refered as a dangerous planet by the common people and even most of the astrologers. Shani's mahadasa, Shani 's sade-saati, Shani Dhayiya etc are the terms which rob the night's sleep of a person once told about them. Rahu-Ketu are the planets which also fall in the same catagory of creating terror in the mind of a common man. Birth in Moola nakshtra is another hyped yoga about it's inauspiciousness. This list is long. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this article, I am

You forget yourself

Have we ever thought that, our own success can teach us principles of being successful? Read this article... SUCCESS is a buzz word in today's fast track world. We are running since morning till night in search of success. Lot of pages have been written on this most important ingredient of our self esteem. Lot many philosophies and ideologies revolve round this but, the truth is, success is having different definitions for all of us in different situations of our life. I read a book recently where the writer pointed out the important point; We succeed in every moment . Even rising live in the morning and getting to bed again after facing the entire day is the success. So, success is not having a fixed definition. It varies. In childhood, getting that win in street game was the success and, scoring first division in class tenth got to another level of success. Getting a good job, married to a loving partner, starting a family and...th
