Giving up Smoking is easy ! Real life incident . Interesting read..

Dear Friends,

Two months back I met Sameer, working in Tony and Guy Salon , Chennai . Spoke to him while he was doing my hair cut . It was good to know about Darjeeling the place he belongs to . In the midst of conversation , he became quite friendly and was very happy to be chatting with me in Hindi .  I simply asked if he smokes . He was honest enough to say YES . 

 I inspired him to give up smoking . Advised him how to change mind when he wants to smoke by diverting the mind , doing things which give more pleasure like listening to music or doing some physical activity at that point in time . I suggested that smoking thought is negative , so try to replace the negative thoughts with more positive thoughts that give you pleasure . I said follow these for 30 days and you would certainly succeed . At young age , there is no way you can succumb to something that you cannot give up !

 He followed my advise , quit the house where there were several smokers and last Sunday when I met him again for my regular hair cut ,  he said he’s given up smoking ! Wow ! It was unbelievable ...

  I said feel the pride to say that Sameer ! I was overwhelmed with what an accomplishment Sameer had achieved in life as I know many people find so difficult to give up smoking  .

  I told  him that at any point in time if you come across difficult times , remember this victory of yours and challenge yourself to accomplish yet another difficult problem . You will be a winner again for sure ! 

   Narrated this incident to his Manager that Sameer is a very strong person with super commitment levels and strong will power to do amazing things . Sameer became extremely happy . 

 Yet another memorable experience my friends . Co

Could not resist to take Selfie with Sameer , the Hero of the Day ...

KALAIMAGAL SCHOOL ANNUAL DAY FUNCTION – TRULY UNFORGETTABLE

Image
I was invited as a Chief Guest for the Annual Day Function of Kalaimagal school, Pernambut near Vellore  on 31 st March 2018. The school was started by Shri B.A. Balsubramaniam ,91 years old, ( Chief Founder ) in the year 1983 in his home town Pernambut. The school is one of its kind which offers free education to 800 students from Standard I to Standard VIII. The school is currently managed by the Founder’s family. The program scheduled to start at 4.30 pm got disrupted due to sudden rains. There was a disappointment in the faces of young kids who were looking for this very day meant for them. God was kind , rains halted and there was happiness and joy in the environment .   On reaching the venue , I was fascinated by the high voltage energy level of tiny toddlers with smiling faces and greeting me “ Good evening Sir“ from their heart. These children belong to people below the poverty line living in the small town . For them getting food and shelt...

Jitu , the HERO

This is the story of our Cab Driver Jitu who made our recent vacation so beautiful and memorable!  Please read it for yourself and see …. In December 2017 , when we were deciding to go for our vacation , my daughter wanted a place which would have snow fall and peak winter , things which we cannot imagine in  Chennai . Based on this , I did quick google search and the place that I came across as very gorgeous one was Dalhousie in Himachal Pradesh . The beautiful snow fall images of this amazing place made me decide in no time to go for this place with family . With my travel experience of 15 years I created a quick itinerary . Dalhousie is 80 KM from Pathankot and so I hired an Innova from Pathankot to use for all the 4 days of our trip . I enjoy meeting new people and love speaking to them and getting to know about their family and life . Making new friends gives me immense pleasure irrespective of their financial status. Being well versed in Hindi comes across ...

CHEF IN THE MAKING

I was always remarked by my wife that I do not know cooking and that I have a dark future in case she is out of station or sick etc . Last week , suddenly decided to play this match of cooking . I was some how remembering the recent movie called NOTA in which Sathyaraj says to the young chief Minister , “ Aparam ernigitta aatam adirvendi thaane “. ( then why don’t you enter and play the match ) So the cuisine was North Indian Subji Mutter Paneer .I had rough idea of how a  subji is to be prepared . Asked my wife to stay away from kitchen . I am a very passionate person by nature and have always done things where I am being challenged . Moreover my culture is to love doing challenging tasks ... So the cooking started , with cutting of onions and tomatoes and me singing Kishore Kumar songs . I was enjoying every part of cooking process . There were some doubts which my wife happily clarified and the end result was outstanding Mutter Paneer subji ( gravy) . Added a bi...
