ToTatyawithLove- Tale of chainsmoker to nosmoker!

Image
Have been an active passive smoker throughout joining my friends on sutta break. In one of the discussions on quitting came a thought that sometimes an external trigger or circumstances end up with people giving up their addiction which otherwise proves difficult. ! This made me think about my Grandfather who shared with us how he went from being a chain smoker to quitting completely one fine day. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------ Tatya ended up in Shimla as an English Babu in 1939 as a 20 year old from Dewas(MP) and started his journey to and fro between summer and winter capitals (Delhi/Shimla). Those were the glorious days of living life king size in the new capital city ! He used to fondly tell how weekends were spent sometime watching 3 english movies in a single day at regal plaza and odeon seeing Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable and Ava Garnder puffing away to glory ! Tatya took up smoking and soon became a chain...

To Tatya with Love  ( This I wrote on 12th august 2012) When Rajesh Khanna died I happen to see the wonderful movie "Bawarchi" and when Rajesh Khanna uttered the seemingly lucid but extremely powerful statement It is so simple to be happy, but so difficult to be Simple" I realised that it gives answer to the eternal problem of the mankind struggling to find happiness in life.  Well I don't have to look beyond my grandpa(TATYA) who for me is the happiest person on earth! He is Someone  who epitomizes "Joie de vivre" a French term often used in English to express a cheerful enjoyment of life or an exultation of spirit. Tatya has never owned any house, land, property, car, jewellery, designer watches or clothes.. nor did he switch any jobs, take a challenging role or a powerful role . All these things definately make us good and are necessities in today's life but are these key to attaining true happiness or "inner peace" Tatya mak...

OH MY GOD -  Part2 In continuation to my previous post;  if one believes in God I believe each one of us should have answers to fundamental questions: 1) Who do you worship 2) Where do you pray 3) How do you pray 4) Why do you pray ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Who is God? If one is born a Hindu; one is spoilt for choice unlike most of the religions where it is a unary decision to who to pray. There are zillion gods and goddesses mentioned in our scriptures; Which in turn has spawned so many stories; myths and legends that one can publish one amar chitra katha every second. I have no complains whatsoever; after all we get to savor delicious and different prasad(sweets) from all over the country :). Considering each one of them is a god or goddess; It is safe to assume that I can worship anyone; like we can use any synonyms of a word in a sentence as long as it is a valid synonym listed...

OH MY GOD- Part 1 (wrote this after watching the movie OhMyGod ) We are aware that there is something called as Big Bang Theory which explains how our universe was created. As per me the universe was created by an entity we worship  known as GOD. I believe GOD Created this universe and enrolled all humans in the name of GOD university for their entire life and that sole aim was to  teach goodness with GOD as the DEAN of this university who has no gender!:). Fortunate or Unfortunately There was no prescribed syllabus for this university. Before the concept of religion evolved the human beings might or might not be aware of the existence of GOD and hence lived the life that suited the corresponding habitat across different parts of the world.  As time evolved humans started understanding that the basic premise of Life is goodness and hence there emerged scriptures that served the purpose of exploring why the human life was created and showed the human the path o...
