“You prayed so much,
Yet did not act in deeds;
It bloomed only in imagination,
And the fruit you gained was poor.”
“You spoke so much in prayer,But did not act in deeds.It blossomed only in imagination,And the fruit you gained was poor.”
The lines reflect a philosophical idea: prayer or intention without action leads only to empty imagination, not meaningful results. It’s a reminder that devotion must be matched with effort.
Precis in English- Those who have the most simple faith & only devotion, they
have no danger, they will pass one day..They are like tortoise which
finished before the hare. Those becomes arrogant of their knowledge,
falls asleep and looses out like the hare. - 38, Bhabavani , (July 27,
1914)
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”
Against all odds, We gather our lost forgotten strength, which in old days was as powerful as could be. All equal zeal and motivated at heart but with time and due to fate might lost that touch, but the willingness at heart will keep them motivated and move on defeat the odds and not surrender.
On this Gandhi Jayanti, we contemplate that even after so many years of our Nation's Freedom, we never raise ourselves above our vices. We pray we more coming time we change for goodness.

"Laws of pets in India, Rights of Pet owners, Rights and misconception of
Society welfare, tenants etc."
Although a lot under-rated, it is very imperative that we
know the pet laws in India (in my country). We are ruled by impulse buying
practice here in India ammong major portion of the population.
And to bring home a living pet-friend without knowing basics
or ins &out of the Pet laws or Pet world will not be wise. In age of
cyber-knowledge, we cannot ignore or deny the information available at hand. The
following site (https://www.lawnn.com/laws-for-pets-in-india/)
has good information on pet laws, tenancy regulations regarding pets etc.
Don't do drugs.
They mess up your brain chemistry, changing your reward-motivation balance, making it difficult to work hard.
They are addictive.
They can kill you.
They are illegal.
The answer to life's problems can't be in a chemical.
Drugs are not cool. Stay away from them.

Note 2; Sept 2020
India was under Lock-down owing to COVID19 Pandemic since 21 March 2020. This was partially lifted during September 2020 and life began to return to normal.
Already I was practically jobless since December 2019 and the COVID19 was another nail in the coffin. So to maintain the sanctity of the mind and the soul I kept a routine. It was a Ideal good boy routine. Here it is for records.
06 00 Hrs ~ 06 15 Hrs Gym
06 15 Hrs ~ 06 30 Hrs Wake up & cooking
06 30 Hrs ~ 06 45 Hrs Tea/ Drinks
06 45 Hrs ~ 07 30 Hrs Bath & Rituals
07 30 Hrs ~ 08 00 Hrs Early Lunch (Ya u read it correct in lieu of breakfast) + News + watch shows
09 00 Hrs ~ 15 00 Hrs Engaged with Work or Reading or any Hobby
15 00 Hrs ~ 15 30 Hrs Snacks, fruits, Hi tea.
16 00 Hrs ~ 19 00 Hrs Work/ Napping in between / Reading or watching Youtube
19 00 Hrs ~ 21 00 Hrs Cooking & Supper
22 00 Hrs ~ 00 00 Hrs Music, self realization, Sleep
00 00 Hrs ~ 06 30 Hrs Sleep
But hardly I followed it everyday. While it was tough to follow a routine for a person like me; that I said because I loved change and variety all through my life and career.
A mouse can teach us many things. One of them how important is preserving. I gave a treat to my mouse while it was lying casually on the top of the cage. It had whatever it could, then to safely keep the remainder, it climbed down almost 1.5 feet down the base of the cage and believe me it is really hard and tough climbing down for a 2 year old mouse. My mouse happily climbed down, went to the precious corner of the cage. Precious because to my mouse, that corner held all that he wanted to keep of the other days if in case, someday I do not wake up. After keeping the chunk of the treat safely, he looked back and then walked up to the water bowl, drank some, dipped his hind legs (sort of hands for human) as if washing them. Then steadily he went back, climbed up to the tip of the cage, and while he lay down, gave back a long cute, loving look as if expressing his gratitude towards me.
I am happy the poor fella need not hunt for food and that my partner knows. May be that is why the look is for.

If you want to be a clear thinker, you cannot pay attention to politics. It will destroy your ability to think.
Rats aren't nocturnal they are crepuscular. That is, they are most active during the dusky/twilight hours of morning and evening, and they sleep off and on during the day and the night.
Rats will sleep when there is nothing to stimulate them and awaken when there's something to do.
With everyone of us concern to boost immunity and fight COVID19, one household remedy that's making around the web even internationally is Turmeric Milk (also known as Golden Milk, an elixir of life) or Turmeric Tea.
Turmeric contains Curcumin as major composition.And it has major health benefits.
For the records and for our generations and everyone, few summarized here in.
Well every good thing has vice as well, what may be good for one person may not be the same for another. In case after having turmeric milk if feeling uncomfortable it may be due to Milk or the Turmeric... it may not be comfortable biologically to some, then better to discontinue in such cases.
And remember good quality turmeric leaves bad stain. Yellow Yellow :)
Here's mine.

Food for thought to ourselves on eve on 74th India's Independence Day; Jai Hind; Jai Axom.
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high Where knowledge is free Where the world has not been broken up into fragments By narrow domestic walls Where words come out from the depth of truth Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit Where the mind is led forward by thee Into ever-widening thought and action Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake

There cannot be a better way to start the week. It's full of gratitude. Watching it made my day.
I want my gen and our next and and gens to come if the video is available in youtube by then.
Perhaps some Governments and Nations should take a cue out and payback to our nature with gratitude :)
My Opinion based on below video. Throughout July'20-August20 many Indian regions are protesting the new Educattion policy revamped after almost 30+ years. But everything comes at a price, sometime owing to Social and Motherland.
Very interesting perspective mentioned in above video and lots of valid points. He is 100% correct also.
But then there many cons why Hindi cannot be the One and only language that the new education system is pushing!
India is a sub continent unlike most nations on the list provided in the video except few like the major one being USA.
Similar to USA, we have diverse population with so many mother tongue; can education system accept and accommodate all? Seems it is just not feasible but as well impractical!
Hindi cannot be considered common language in India under any circumstances, it can be very well used for official communications in place of English but basic education in Hindi is strictly as much detrimental as much is English to non Hindi speakers. (Incomplete thought though)

My Ans- Rice, Dal, Roti, Potato & Milk and medicines ... I guess I am lucky! Many in our country have died for want of Food and it is recurring every year, year on year, wage laborers dying, farmer committing suicide, family committing suicide for not able to carry on the economic burden etc. Yet our politicians and administrators cannot figure out solutions & that is because there is no 24x7 media coverage with tracker with daily fatality tracker running on their screen!.

There is numerous ways in which Bhagawad Gita can be decoded.
Every time we read, we find something new, something cryptic hidden meaning within. There are so many ways a verse of Bhagawad Gita can be explained that it is almost debatable if one chooses to do so.
