changes...

New changes in the blog are evident...
It's a nice past-time...
Please do visit the links mentioned especially -Livestrong, ONE campaign, Climate Crisis etc...
Your support is gravely required and will be appreciated.
I finally finished the book that I had been reading since last few weeks.."Every Second Counts" by Lance Armstrong. His first book "It's not about the bike" blew my mind out completely and the second one has transformed me into a totally different person...
my exams are coming up soon...I can't wait for them to start and finish...
A month from now I'll be sitting in London and probably enjoying the life out of me!
Search for as much information about London and Brighton is still on..and believe me I have found quite a lot...!
Did you know that in Trafalgar Square, London, there is a very famous monument known as Nelson's Column. Nelson's column is guarded by 4 huge bronze lions. These lions have been made out of metal from guns that had been taken from old battleships! And only these guns were used -nothing else!
I can't wait to go there....can't wait to eat the food there..meet the people there...Can't wait to go to HARRODS!!!!
Ok ok am getting carried away...but I can't help it!!! haha...
Well so here is the main thing for today...there is a friend of mine who is suffering from an internal mental pain of some kind...she is not ill and she she does not have a disease..it's just that she is going through a tough phase right now...having spoken to her about it many times from a distance of 1500 + kms...I would again like to say this to her...There are parts unknown with regard to human performance, and those are the parts when it's just about pain and forfeit. How do you make yourself do it? You remind yourself that you are fulfilling your obligation to get the best from yourself, and that all achievement is born out of sacrifice.
The experience of suffering is like the experience of exploring, of finding something unexpected and revelatory. When you find the outermost thresholds of pain, or fear, or uncertainty, what you experience afterward is an expansive feeling, a widening of your capabilities.
PAIN IS GOOD because it teaches your body and your soul to improve. It's as though your unconscious says, "I'm going to remember this, remember how it hurt, and I'll increase my capacities so that the next time, it doesn't hurt as much". The body literally builds on your experiences, and a physique and temperament that have gone through a situation one time will be better the next time, because it has the memory to build upon. If you lead a largely unexamined life, you will eventually hit a wall. Some barriers can be invisible until you smack into them. The key then, is to investigate the wall inside yourself, so you can go beyond it. The only way to do that is to ask yourself painful questions-just as you try to stretch yourself physically.
Later in life you will not see this phase as a bad memory ..but rather a good one...a strong one because it ill remind you of the time you GOT BACK UP AND MOVED ON.
Anything you need, I will always be there for you.
Why don't people understand this...THERE ARE BIGGER PROBLEMS ON THIS PLANET!!!!
There is somebody who at this very second is battling through Cancer...who knows it could be a 5 year old girl or boy...Somebody at this very second has been told that s/he has AIDS...you could say "what can I do in that ..that's his/her life and this is mine...." That's where you are missing out on the message....That's exactly where! The message being sent out or given out is that you can seperate the good problems and the bad problems more over you can differentiate between the urgent problems and unnecessary problems in your life...breaking up with a boyfriend or girlfriend is a temporary problem and is not supposed to be a life-threatening or life-giving issue..whereas global warming is an issue which I think needs more concern!!!
That's all for today...
ciao! and keepwell...

  3. Hi Shagun! :)

    This 'post'... is just """ AWESOME"""" hahahaha... (That's what you guys say, right!!)

    Good to know that you'd be going to London/ Brighton for your Summer hols! I have a 'confession' to make... :)

    I've been to U.K. - Not 'specifically' to London but just - in general! And, it's been a 'great' experience... in terms of getting to know what the 'British'.. (- keeping in mind their rule over half the world - almost!!... in the last century!) are all about!

    It takes 'time' - as with any 'new' place, race, culture, historical connections etc. to REALLY get underneath the 'layers'to 'know' the 'reality' of a 'country' or its 'people'....

    The 'English'... are considered to be very 'reserved' kinds - and they are!! - Which, haha, doesn't make matters easy .. that is, to make one of them to 'talk' about their 'land' or 'culture' - UNLESS.. you get hold of an 'Old man'.. twiddling his thumbs while 'watching-the -world-go-by' - in the 'City Centre' ( -as they call their 'Main market places'... ( -like we have C.P. or 'South Ex.' in Delhi)!! :)

    I really... really.. enjoyed reading every bit of the 'advice' you have given to your friend who is at present 'suffering' a little mental pain! - It usually happens, Shagun.. if we don't take a 'break' from mulling over a 'limited' number of 'issues' in our heads 'over and over'!

    Just like a 'wound' on the body... HOW will it 'heal' - if EACH time it gets the 'scab' on it - you 'scratch' its surface again... and again.. and again! - Becomes a 'vicious' - 'unhealthy' cycle - doesn't it?!

    It is, indeed - far better - not only to 'recognize'..that there are 'Bigger' issues 'out-there' in the 'World' - but to 'actively' seek a way to 'offer' whatever little you can... to make this 'World' a 'better' place!! :)

    You must continue... 'examining' Life - situations - 'pain' - 'exploring' POSSIBILITIES - of HOW... and WHERE.. YOU, m'dear, can 'make-a- difference'!!

    So, I'd say to you... KEEP 'EVOLVING'!! - That's what 'life' is really all about! :)

    Lots of love!
    Stay happy and positive, sweets!
