A One and Half Hour journey in our office bus in the morning gives us unexpected (and many times uninvited) opportunities to express our thoughts and views to our colleagues. The other day one of my colleagues was talking about his friend who works in Canada, earns a fat pay cheque and so has lot of luxuries in his life. Then our discussion shifted to “ our expectations for tomorrow “ . Our conversation led me to write this bit on the futility of our worry for the future.
Usually, we forget to live today by thinking about tomorrow . When worrying about our life tomorrow, we do not spend much for the comforts that we desire today.
We have a 14 “ TV today , but when we think about buying a bigger one, our mind is stuck on the fears for tomorrow . Though we were able to purchase a 21 “ TV few years back but the same fears about tomorrow stopped us from doing so and we still have the 14 “ TV with us , perhaps for the next 10 years too . ( TV is just an example ….)
Five years back, we used to worry, scheme and plan for our life five years later i.e., Today. When finally Today has arrived, we still continue to worry and bother about tomorrow.
We know how to live a better life with all luxuries and in many ways have the means to do so but our tendency to think about tomorrow’s life stops us from doing the same. When tomorrow arrives , we’ll still be unable to bring a change in our life and make it better.
We forget to live today just because of the fear of tomorrow.
A 50 year old relative of mine said to me once, “ Do not spend too much money , there is no need to eat out , do not go for movies when you can watch one at home , don’t waste your money on sightseeing when you go to a new place…. instead save each and every penny for Tomorrow , for your family , for your children for your future. ” My relative had done the same thing with his life , But when I evaluate his living, I feel that he forgot to live his past thinking about the future and now when the future is in front of him, he is still the same .We need to think if the logic of saving for “ TOMORROW ” by spoiling today’s life is acceptable or not….. If doing so is right, when will we realize our existence in this world?
Is it possible for us to live with out the fear and feelings of tomorrow ? Perhaps the answer is “ NO “ because we tend to live with great expectations of tomorrow ,
but when tomorrow arrives, we again begin think about the next day.
I heard someone say on TV recently, that we can’t see around the next corner—we can see upto the next corner, but not around ..
The Bible Says
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. (Matthew 6:34)

TV Journalists
I have read from Respected Mr Rakesh Jhunjhunwala blog site ( http://www.rakeshjhunjhunwala.in/) about the controversy between NDTV journalist Barkha Dutt and one blogger Mr Chyetanya Kunte . Free to opinion is the basic right of an Indian citizen not only a Indian citizen it is the basic right of a human being . How one NDTV Journalist can pressure on Kunte to withdraw his post . If She don't like criticism then it is better to sit at home . What all these journalists do ??? They are blindly criticizing our Political , Religion leaders and our bureaucrats .
It is known to every body that the NSG commandos took more time to end the Mumbai attacks only because of the Terrorists also watched all the movements of our NSG commandos through the live telecasts of the operation , While watching and seeing the positions and style of the TV journalists in the entire episode some time I feel that these TV Chanel rep's including NDTV journalist Barkha Dutt are fighting against the terrorists .
They were happy that they got One month news to keep the viewers in front of TV.
The images and live telecasts of the entire operation were continuesly showing in TV channels for a month . They are not worried about the people mindset who watch this images
This is only one example , we daily watch the foolishness of some of the TV journalists in channels . They are hungry only for the news not for any creative news or some thing that can help Indians day to day life style .
It is absolutely right that "" when Barkha writes something anti-government and uses words like ‘liberal’ and ‘self regulation’ she gets a Padmashri but when Kunte writes something similar he gets threatened by NDTV’s lawyers ""
She should not think that she is above all the criticism , If she dedicated her life for the poeples then she must have an open mind to accept and evaluate all criticism made by her viewers or by any human being in this world .
It is time now to stop this type of journalism , We Indians are so educated and have good good sense to evaluate what is going on in and around us , let no body try to control our fundamental rights . Let it be what ever we are ....
Dear Barkha Dutt please keeps shouting “Freedom Of Speech And Expression” and “The Government and a News Channel Does Not Have The Right To Censor People”.
Thankssssssss.......

Focus on solutions & not on problems
In Japan , biggest cosmetics companies received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soapbox that was empty. Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly! Line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soapbox went through the assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soapboxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent a whoopee amount to do so.
But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem, he did not get into complications of X-rays, etc., but instead came out with another solution.
He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line.
He switched the fan on, and as each soapbox passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line.
Always look for simple solutions. Devise the simplest possible solution that solves the problems. Focus on solutions & not on problems
