THROUGH THE SCANNER OF FACTS: GAZA ATTACK BY ISRAEL!! and SLAUGHTER BY ISIS!!

Sometimes we should look into things equally without impartiality and then decide. We have the right to protest against all atrocities but again we should be not biased at events. All atrocities are acts against humanity! And when we raise voices anywhere be it social media or on streets, we must make sure we don't judge it only by the scanner of religion, region, caste, gender etc but by facts and the barbarities committed. I must say, I protest against both.

• ISIS killing 1700 Shias : Seculars Silent
• ISIS destroying Shias Mosques : Seculars Silent
• Boko Haram Kidnapping 276 Nigerian Girls : Seculars Silent
• Al-Shabaab killed innocents in Kenya mall : Seculars Silent
• Hindu persecution in Pakistan and Bangladesh : Seculars Silent
• Forced Conversion of Hindus in Pakistan : Seculars Silent
• Lakhs of Muslims killed in Syria : Seculars Silent 
• Hamas bombing Israel : Seculars Silent
• But moment someone like Israel retaliates : This is Humanity Issue, we all should stand against Israel and support Palestine.

Importance of Ruby Stones in Online Shopping


Rubies throughout the known memory of mankind have been said to posses many positive effects and mystical properties. Often associated with Sun, it was believed to preserve mental and physical health along with prosperity. It symbolizes courage, charity and divine love. Cultures and various observations associated numerous benefits with the stone, which also included famed names like Ivan the Terrible of Russia. Besides, it is a beautiful stone with pink to blood-red colored gemstone containing rare minerals and is extremely hard to find in the deposits. Moreover, the demand in the market and the beliefs attached to it has prompted to have a greater demand than supply. This usually creates a void and that consequently springs up a trend of unspecified black market with uncontrolled prices. Often people are fooled with fake gems as there are less or even no government regulations in many countries.


But technology has had its role over the years. Online shopping through reliable and authentic websites not only provide unadulterated gems but with genuine prices.  This has induced an impetus because of which a thriving business of competition among various organisations has emerged. They not only compete to lure customers with fancy decorations but also with reasonable rates.  Customers can browse and choose the stone they wish to have. This has also simplified the reselling of Ruby stones that you may possess via numerous websites that has sprung up in just few years of time. Other than having a swift home delivery, the customers also have the choice to replace or even claim a refund if not satisfied. The emergence of various online sellers with wholesale prices can also be noticed. This has also somehow controlled the seasoned open marketing of the stones and has efficaciously brought down the prices. Online shopping not only strives to provide customers with the best in quality but with an ultimate aim to make Ruby along with various other Natural Gemstones affordable. Apart from this, Ruby gemstone is good for purity and cleanliness which is substantiated through online shopping.

Love Revisited

Well, there are varied definitions of love. I have thought and I have written. It has taken months and I still wonder what can rightly justify this mesmerizing word : "LOVE".

The more I thought, the more I was unable to decipher its shrouded mysteries that lie beneath the curtain of emotions. Yes, you heard it right; the curtain of colorful emotions that enchants us enough, that we never ever venture to remove that curtain.

We have emotions that we feel in our own ways but yet we cannot define it. Some call it the most powerful feeling. Some experience the power of love when they are separated, some attach it with joy in someone else's presence, some as habit of talking or sharing thoughts and moments, while some may call it a sacrifice. But this is not the end. People are prone to attach much more to love than we can even think of. So I decided to turn around and close that unending drilling down process known as "Mission Decoding Love".
Well then you may ask me, why am I writing this blog...Am I mad??!!

Well then all writers are mad :).

As you might have known by now that my concern through On A Drive With Life!! and this blog has always been to understand emotions, rather than defining a particular consequence, be it love, be it anything.
Realize this that sustaining the beauty sometimes is more important than understanding its reason. Indeed men are good at creating artificial products inspired by nature. Ask yourself if the beauty has the same meaning. So instead of seeking the divine knowledge of love, my advice has always been to live the emotions, with proper control over it and on your mind. Remember even though we may not define it, but indeed we know some of the emotions it gives rise to;

"Have I not said that it is the most powerful feeling"

Always remember to attach the sense and detach the misconceptions.
Indeed love induces habit but it is not vice versa. Talking throughout day and night may give you an addiction, and love is no addiction, in the sense you talk to the person because you love. Is it so hard to understand ;). It is the wine of life that tastes good and you receive it as a gift! Addiction then drives you down to the level where then you can do anything.

Friends, life is short and has thousands of bewitching glimpses to offer that can make it worth. Love is not your entire life but a part of your life! Whenever the strings of your emotions are played be it in rejection, insult, love, happiness, you get a new lesson. Learn from it and then move on. Do not stick on to it!
The more you swim across its depth to explore its reason and future, the more you will lose the oxygen of practicality. Swing it around and put this on love and you will know what I meant.
Remember those who fail to adapt, perishes!

MOTIVATION !!

Motivation!!

Now that's the topic I have chosen. My comrades
lend your ears and the coming years of your
lives to this word and perhaps it will change things forever.

All the topics I have discussed so far have somehow
transformed every negatively perceived words
into a positive discernment. But again one thing
was common. Each of them eventually found their
ultimate goal in M O T I V A T I O N.

Motivation is basically an impetus that drives
your desires into action. Now the motivation
can be anything, be it success, hunger, thirst
and the list can go on. But we the drivers
of our own lives will do something different.
We will dig further and get a better understanding
of this enamoring words: Motivation.

Some say you're not motivated towards your studies!
Some say you're not motivated towards your work!
Some say you're not motivated towards your thoughts!

AHEM AHEM! Blow up the clouds, clear off the smoke,
tie up your shoes and hit them hard! The above are mere
comments to change your way of thinking, so that you
find motivation in the purpose as specified above.
Well ask yourselves isn't that an artificial motivation
in which we engross ourselves completely, forgetting
that it was not exactly what you had ever wanted.

Because:

Motivation is an energy that comes out of your desires
to achieve something.

Emphasize on the words.
Now where in the damn hell that energy comes from! Now that's
a big question. If you will read all my other blogs you will realize
that passion has a role, frustration has its role, Love has a role,
and to your shock, even ego plays a role. Now I won't keep diversifying,
rather I will integrate them into one. It is very simple and I hope
you will absorb essence of it for life.

The very thought that gives you that energy, the intensity, the positive
emotion or the reward value of the goal, only that thought can keep
you motivated. Remember, studies, work or even your lives will go astray
until you find that "Thought" that will change you forever.
And only then you will really know the real meaning of being motivated.

My friends you have got just one life, use it wisely, spend it nicely.
Dedicate even 15 minutes daily away from phones, internet and everything.
Close your eyes and just keep introspecting. Believe me you'll start seeing
the change. Your eyes will evince a new motivation which will then determine
your actions and shape your future!

The same I have tried to convey through my upcoming book On A Drive With Life(Click Here)

EGO !!

EGO !!

Hello my dear comrades...

Hope we have gone far more mature via these blogs.
Hehe...Just wanted to shower some praises at myself :P.

As an addict and as much of a wanderer I am, I have again
chosen a topic that is both controversial and generally
used as a negative term. Indeed I have heard people using
the term "Egoistic" as a derogatory term.

But we as the drivers of our own lives have chosen to put forth
a different perspective all the time. So let's have a got at it,
all again ;)

Just read the below C A R E F U L L Y!
"Having anything is good thing, If you know how to use it"

Else it is a waste; Be it a car, a mobile, a lappy, anger, love, desires,
efforts and of course ego!

BONZAIII! Now you hit the point. Or rather I got carried away too early.
Allow me to elaborate even further...
Everything has a darker side that includes everything we can see, feel or
perceive. And so does ego. It is that most of us can't control it and thus
contain it at the darker side. Hence, it is usually generalized as something
disparaging.

The one they refer can be rather labelled as “negative ego.”
It is our general reaction based on perception and judgments,
usually irrational, that creates a sense of separation between ourselves and others,
that labels people and things as “better than” or “worse than.”

In simpler terms, when we begin to delimit ourselves with concepts,
thoughts, rivalry etc, it hurts a part of us that makes it painful
to survive even a minor blow in life. Hence, we cling to the shield of
this negative ego to boost our morale and belittle others to survive
just another day.

Well last I slackened my torso and introspected, I am still not the "Buddha"
and hence this part of me comes into play at times.

Negative ego is just a part of our thought process gone wrong and
has started to window out through our actions in real life. But the moment
we learn to control it, like any other thing, it becomes an ally.

Ego in more precise terms is the mirror of our inner self, that what
exactly is going inside us. The moment we stop it from shrouding our
thought process and start observing how it can affect our words
and actions. We then become the master of our own response.

This controlled ego can then become a driving force in our lives
which can then motivate us further and instill the passion to fuel
that impetus. Start focusing on facts and what you exactly want
and then use that ego to go over anything and anyone.

Consider your ego as a rogue, untrained, immature and scared child.
Treat it with love and compassion.

I won't go more descriptive. We are mature enough to understand.
Your ego should be rather "I can do it or I will reach the point
of success via my abilities". It should never be used to belittle
others in order to console your inner self.

The same I have tried to convey through my upcoming book On A Drive With Life(Click Here)

"Thrive on Strife!"

"Thrive on Strife!"

This is what we have come to...Muslims won Kargil war or Hindus won Kargil war and then we ask people to bring a leader who is not communal...For God Sake have any number of elections but please keep your noses off the armed forces and stop citing exceptions! No one and nothing is perfect, but again being imperfect is not a sin..Soldiers die for their country not for a region or a religion..Throw such politicians out of politics because if such people have to have the ultimate power then who will protect the very fabric of our culture, society, constitution and country! Politicians just stop only condemning any remarks directed towards the armed forces...It's time you set an example and teach such people a lesson..This is an insult to soldiers who have died for their country...

"Understanding" Emotions of The Opposite Gender

"Understanding" Emotions of The Opposite Gender

I am quite sure that the word itself flushes your face with fervor. Obviously, your brains would be tuning your
heart with the emotions of today or past. But be well assured my friends, as usual my aim is to
help you sustain the beauty of everything that matters to you, and not to take you in flashbacks.
Driver of their own lives, lend me some moments from your lives and believe me, by the time you have finished reading the passage, your perception would have changed!

To all the men, you might not know this. Ego, well that plays well with you. Complimented on smiles, ethics, style etc etc etc boosts the feeling and it keeps him going smooth. The feeling to get respected,
admired and wanted is what glues him to any relationship. Advise to women: Don't cater your self-respect, but a perfect balance between love and admiration works wonders!

Well it may sound odd to many, but women don't want attention(Except the initial
phase though ;) )...Rather they want the appreciation in every small things
they put in a relationship.

Same I have done to portray through my upcoming book On A Drive With Life(Click Here)

Just clear down your brain lanes and know this: Psychologically, women
accentuates on every small and good things in their relationships.
Like a letter in a box, a chocolate given unexpectedly,care and the list
may go on. But again, as they say, the good may be worst when implemented
on the darker side. They will count even small and most infinitesimal of your
mistakes. This may include behaving in a manner she doesn't expect you
to be. Not appreciating on something she would have expected you to be.

Follow On Twitter(Click Here)

Well men, let the grin on your face not widen much because your jaws may drop
open. Men may ignore small things and instead of counting them as a whole,
an incident that may impact him can provoke him behave in a catastrophic manner.
He may count on your bigger mistakes, which obviously includes not letting him
feel admired. Jealousy may also count into this. Similarly, a larger
good done to him that may boost him up, is sonorous in his mind throughout.

Friends, I know these are just the basics, or may be I am wrong!
But hope if empathized correctly, it can do wonders ;)

Love!

Love!


Well I know the topic is absorbing but feel your
nerves that play a like a guitar whenever the
word comes across you.

The experience on the other hand is so enthralling
that everything in the world seems more or like satellites
around it. The sun seems blue, the sky red,
the flowers so beautiful and the birds like angels of
God!

You feel the significance of sacrifice, moments,
smile and happiness even though nobody ever told you so.
Doesn't that inspire awe, admiration or even let us wonder
how everything changes soon.

Well I am not here to ruin this sacred pilgrimage of the divine.
Rather I will choose to glorify it so that it sustain the slaps
of life and at the same time survive to it, sound and healthy!

My friends, lend me you ears and I will feed in the golden words.
The same I have tried to portray through my upcoming book
On A Drive With Life!!(Click Here) or (Click Here).

"Spend quality time and not Quantity of time!"

A few relationships count hours and days they spent together.
Remember, it is the quality of time that will give you memories
while the latter will only give you a habit.

"Love is life, but not the center of the Universe."

The moment you start giving everything you have, including
your thoughts, efforts and time completely engrossed in to it,
you cut the fragile bond with reality. You lose your connection
with friends, hobbies and the willingness to live. So usually when
break ups happen, you feel like dying!

"One who cares less controls the relationship."

Now don't take me wrong. I am not talking about ego or anything like
that. What I wish to convey is; When you start waiting for someone's call,
give importance to what the other person may think of you or excruciate
yourself because the other person ignored you. Believe me my friends, the relationship
will soon land in the cockpit of expectations, fights and distance. The other
person who cared a bit less and gave time to his/her life, unintentionally
controlled your relationship.

"Give space, pursue your hobbies, have a life beyond it and be charming, ambitious
and sane, because that is what every other person,be it anyone desires :)"

------->THE PUNCH LINE ON ITS WAYYYYY!<--------

Move on, It's just a chapter in your life! Don't close the book, just turn the page ;)

Superstition!!

Superstition!!

A word that had been somehow related with people who
are uneducated, religious and people with blind faith.

Hmm...Interesting observation. But wait "Observation", does something
strikes you. Well allow me to light up a few candles. We observe and we
tend to do something in the similar fashion the next time.

Like, you observe that giving sweets to your boss keeps you in his good books.
You try to do the same the next time. You observe that an apple a day keeps you
healthy, you have it daily and advise the others to do the same. Well, somewhere
or other, observation is deeply related to Superstition. But again
it has its base in something more elusive.

We humans tend to forget that during the process of evolution
we have evolved to dilute a fact that we were born to survive
with constant fear of death or harm. Our well being and the desire
to survive mattered the most. Gradually we developed emotions which
gave us the senses to even care about our loved ones. The more we cared
the more we became vigilant about seen and unforeseen things that can harm us.

And the fear of any unanticipated events is what that has ever since driven
us to be superstitious. The fear of the hidden makes us do things or even
think the unimaginable. And then here comes the unbreakable relation between
superstition and observation. We observe that wearing a locket brings good luck.
We never bring it off in a hope that we will be fortunate enough to survive
everything. We observe that doing a ritual may brought someone peace
and prosperity and we try to repeat the same.

In the past all was based on observation and fear. And even though we have been
smart enough to separate both to an extent, but ask yourself, are we not
superstitious enough in our own way. Everything we do on daily basis
somewhere signifies, that somewhere deep inside, we all are superstitious
in ourselves.

********!!NOW THE PUNCH LINE AS USUAL!!***********

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature,
nor do the children of men as a whole experience it.
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.
Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.

Thoughts To Cherish and Introspect!

Since long I have been dealing with topics to instill a belief that things are still better....

Today I won't get much far with it, but for sure I will bring into notice some miraculous thoughts that indeed requires some introspection:

"If you want to walk fast, walk alone
But if you want to walk far, walk together"

Splendid thought!

"How strange it is that we wish to wear fancy and branded clothes
 but we feel the most comfortable in pyjamas"

Hmmm....That is indeed true :)

"We wish to sit with elite people,
have dinners in 5 start hotels, but yet
we enjoy road side tea with friends and those we love"

"We wish to own big cars and go on a long drive,
Yet we take out hearts out while walking down the long road"

I am sure you all feel the same :)

"We may own 64GB ipods and all that stuff
but sometimes even a song on radio" brings a smile
that can't be compared!

So you see friends, it's not what you want, but it's what you truly wish inside.
Aim at it and you will be the happiest person down the long road...That is life :)

APPLYING THE SECRET "THE GAME CHANGER!!"

Hi Guys!!!!

Hope you all are driving your lives on your own
terms.

Now before you go on a drive with your life while
reading below let me ask few questions to you,
the answer of which you will introspect for a while.

What determines how the day goes?Why are you distressed
and you have to start over again?

THINK THINK THINK BUT DON't GET DISTRESSED ;)

Let me throw some hints. Every small things that
bothers you, somewhere triggers another missile of
disaster directed towards you.

Ex:You woke and you are frustrated going to office->
You went to the bathroom and you hurt your knee and then your mad
->The Breakfast you had has no salt,you're now crazy->You had a gruesome
encounter with the traffic,you're now boiling with anger->You reach office
and you realize all your work pending and it goes on and on.....

A common man calls it a bad day. But a few of them will tell you, it was
rather a bad choice of thoughts that attracted all those events.

"YOU ATTRACT WHAT YOU THINK!!"

So what is that grand solution. The best way is to not distract yourselves
and always remember your priority is to make this day the best you ever had
no matter what.

The same I have done to portray through my upcoming book On A Drive With Life!!(CLICK HERE)

But that is not as easy as it seems. Allow me to suggest some prescribed
practices :D....

1. Every morning give 5 minutes to yourself, visualizing what you exactly
want you to be. Feel the emotion that the thought generates. Remember,
the emotion matters, the more vibrant and positive it is, the more it
drives you to achieve it and you get determined.

2. Everyday take few minutes and be grateful to what you have: Like a sweet family,
a loving wife, a caring friend, a job which many don't have, an ailment free life
while many suffer from it. Look at those who don't have it and you will know how
fortunate you have been!

3. Every negative word or a thought that crosses your mind, somehow negates
the optimism you might have generated. Try overwhelming yourself with a smile
or jokes, believe me an optimistic thought is thousand times more powerful
than a negative one. But the negative thought is like an oil field which once
sparked may sweep through your entire mind.

The above suggestions are just to be tried and soon you will see the difference!

!!!!!NOW THE PUNCH LINE AS AWLAYS !!!!!

The happiest people don't necessarily
have the best of everything.
They just make the best of everything they have :))
