"Success ",what r u xactly?

As a child, coming first in the class is success .
As a teenager, getting a proficient degree .
As a youngster, securing a good salaried job .
As a married person, life partner being loyal .
As a parent, children not getting spoiled .
As an oldie, having savings in pf is success !
But truly speaking is our success limited to only these many times in the different stages of life..
In a life span of 55-60 years, is success so expensive that we can achieve it so few times...
How do you define success? Its a state of happiness....
Then why this tenure of happiness limited to only a few moments in life....
Why should there be terms and conditions for us to be happy....
Why cant we be successful every moment...
Taking in the purities with every breath is success...
Exhaling the impurities[interspersed with evils like hatred and falsehood ]
is success .
Doing anything" in life is success
Doing nothing" in life is success
[coz both come under the category of doing something !!]
Hey c'mon buddy.....[donno about tomorrow] but our existence of today itself is a big success.!!

I tend to disagree ... when we start to define success you are really going back in your life to do a postmortem.

Living "Now" is what I would call a true success. If you learn to live now and not in past or future, I would think that person is "successful"

Is there some new fad out there called realisation? I thought it was realization. I hate it when spell checker doesn't check the titles of my blogs. Oh well. MUD

Artist v/s An engineer

For those who are viewing this blog with the expectations of having any disputes then chill... ! Nothing of that sort. Just that many of my relatives and friends are engineers and there has been difference of opinion at times [both right in their own way], that I felt like writing on this..... As far as academics are concerned, definitely engineering students have to struggle a lot . Artists on the other hand, enjoy their lives thoroughly observing nature, its beauty and bringing it on either canvas or paper, may be in the form of paintings, poems or writings. They are indeed fortunate enough to appreciate the beauty[ no matter where they can find], and give a proper justice to it...!! Engineers are very practical people always filled with questions like why, how, when," in their their mind and are always in search of answers for the same.. I am not saying that artists don't reason things but they enjoy having their own assumptions and creating their own abstract ideas on a pa

"Conscious, U there?''

It happens that sometimes you enjoy being alone. Experiencing solitude gives you pleasure. You feel like being with no one around.... You find peace in that loneliness. And that state of mind refreshes your mind and takes you far far away ..,.by the medium of thoughts.But can I ask you one thing.."When you are alone, are you really so?. No ,not really, .Our conscious is standing erect and touring you all different worlds with different faces of yours popping up.More on this I want to say...-- We are built up of so many different minds exhibiting their different interests at different times .Also we take it at our own stride. But there is definitely one stage ,"the conscious level that makes you realise the rights and the wrongs. So to feel ,just go on with it..In your solitariness ,interact with your conscious that is whole n sole yours.Share your things, justify your actions then.. I am sure that this personified being' will definitely find out a way for you and will su

Xperiencing Death : will be an adventure...!

I have always seen people getting scared of death.The thought that 'I am going to die one day', causes goosebumps in majority of people's case.{well, there can be exceptions}.But mostly people that I have come across fear death... So to them I would like to say,.. death is a very certain thing " that is going to happen may be early or late. So why to stop living with the fear of dying one day.....? Instead we can increase the lifespan by enjoying every moment of life, living life king size .....!! And let death come at its own time.Mind it,when things happen on time ,they have their own grace. Just as every age has its own glory,similarly the time of death will also have its own charm. From my imagination I feel that experiencing death will also be very thrilling ,that will enliven your different existence.Its like backing off outdated attire.[present body], and putting on the newer , going with the trend! So isn't that great......... Second perception that I woul
