Feel Good Factor

When ever something goes bad or against my will the only sentence I keep hearing from my very close buddy is "mamu ..... its for your own good" and flashes his teeth saying "positive thinking duude!".

I never felts its impulse until I had its fruit, and the fruit is "tension free life" . What else you want in this world of race.

We as young adults, have lot of issues in our mind that cause a lot of disturbance to actual routine and the best way as we figured it out is "Positive Thinking". Though this is not a new "concept" but putting old wine in new wineskins made a difference ....... and as usual I'm sharing it with you all ... and hoping to get a comment someday

We always apply positive thinking when we lose a great victory, its always good even if we use same positive thinking when, say, missed your college bus and have to take time taking public transport. Positive side of this can be that, you can meet someone who will be very special or the faculty for the first hour is on leave(these thoughts make you smile while reading itself, isn't). Lets take another incident ... fights between two best friends or may be between lovers, is a good idea to deal with. As usual they will stop speaking with each other for a while and during this time (to be positive because I always think positive) they realize each others importance and apologize faster than usual. But if take these in negative sense, then it only leads to burdened brain with tough thoughts of regret.

Another, though not an application directly related to positive thinking is, positive feeling, which is an important factor to say that "I'm fine and the world is fine". I really never tried this, but had a wonderful experience with my buddy while shopping, the incident goes like this ...we were shopping and we came across two really nice tee shirts and ... as usual had confusion for making a decision. Then he suddenly picked up one of them and said that his girl-friend(there is a "-" so no miss understandings please) likes that color, and flashed his teeth again, saying "positive thinking duude!". So thats how the decision was made without much head ache over silly tee shirt selection. Here in this case, positive feeling of my friend in disguise of positive thinking is that, some day she might be someone special to him.

After reading all this, you might feel that I'm telling you all to day dream. No, never, a person who is able to think positive will have a negative thought as well and a person who is able to see both sides of a coin is not insane to day dream. Its always important to be master of you mind than being master of others and positive thinking is a way to gain control of mind. Once you have a positive thought of something then chances are that you may not think of it any more as you know that good is going to come on its way.

"Be Positive in approach"

Don't Let the Net Wet Your Brain

I never thought that using internet will cause an impact on my behavior. Yes frankly ... I never bothered the way I'm being molded by the vast size of useful and not so useful information that is available. I realized this only when I tried to stay away from ORKUT for at least 1 year. More than staying away, the thought of staying away made me more mad, and was back to Orkut with in 1 day. So here I'm, sharing experience of mine ... "Away from Orkut" and about the way we are influenced by the internet.

Orkut or for that matter any socializing network like
Bigadda are just a way to be in touch with friends that are away, or old buddies from school, but these changed the style of socializing, the way we deal with people, the way we speak with the opposite person, everything that is related to inter - human relations, and of course the language, though a dynamic one, is also changing, to say in negative direction. Guys if u stumble upon a person who uses "oh", "k", "wat else" ... quite frequently in his speech then you can be sure that he is a net socializer (no regrets please this is a fact from personal experience and relates to younger generations with a few exceptions, by the way exceptions conforms the rules). The advantage of being behind the screen and speaking to the opposite person is that, it provides no clue of the speaker's mind set unless the listener is smart enough to pick up the mood of the speaker in the words that are being sent across cyber space (guys again I had an experience on this kind, some how I like to share my experience). Darker side of this is obviously misunderstandings and wreckage.

Browsing through the large chunk of information that is frothing everyday seems to be the easiest way to get knowledge ... I accept this without second thought . But what about the authenticity of the information that is thrown into cyber space, who is going to look after such issues ... guys this is cringing me. Knowing nothing is better than having wrong information, isn't?

Though it was one day, I was away from Orkut ... the thoughts floating in my mind made me to come down and say that "
INTERNET has a power to revolutionize the society like the discovery of wheel did once."
