Dimaag ki Dahi Hone Se Bachaayein Khud Ko :-)

823rd BLOG POST -->>

            Hundred of things goes in life. You never have control over some of them. I always see things very passionately and hence I love life and the way it flows. When things come, it comes Chchappad Phaad Ke and when it goes, it goes Pairon Ke Neechey Ki Dharti Hilaa Ke. If things remain average anyhow, you can say that its your sheer luck. Efforts are always been put in any thing that is been done but its not necessary that you will get the same results. Life shatters. And once we see that our life is not in its momentum and the track has been lost, we tend to start losing trust over ourselves. We are the best performer for us till then but once when we see that we are not receiving what we expect, we start cursing ourselves for all the little negatives we find in ourselves then. We start doubting every thing around us. We think that our parents aren't supporting us. We feel that our friends are misusing us. We feel that the teachers are purposely harassing us. We feel that the God has stopped considering us as his favorite child. 

             It may be possible that the things we are thinking and assuming are really happening. But what after it? Should we keep discarding the pleasures of life because of these few things that are not in place even after we have given it all that we had? This is the time when we should turn towards peace. Peace is the only aspect of life which makes us know what really our life is and what really we need from it. Peace makes us realize the true potential we have in us. No one else can tell us what we are good in until and unless we don't know what we are good in. And until and unless we don't talk to ourselves, a solution never comes out. The suggestion and guidance of others definitely works but only when we decide to implement it in our course. We have God in us as said by several Holy books. But do we give time to it? No. Never. We always keep on spending time over Internet and GPRS chatting with our friends. We talk with others. Do we ever take out time and talk to ourselves for at least 15 minutes? Hardly. And until and unless we will not do this, we will never come out of the problems and unwanted struggles of life and the plethora of idiotic thoughts that capture our mind.

              The first method of finding peace is already discussed above. Give time to yourself. Talk to your inner self in a peaceful environment. Second best way is to meditate. Meditation is one easy and best solution to get rid of all the concentration-distracting powers. When you sit with your spine straight and eyes closed and take the name of God in iterations by continuously poking your mind to stay at the name of God rather than thinking and presuming things, you find a totally new and fresh world after 15 minutes of it. You start loving this life. You feel as if you were in heaven for 1000 years and have come out of it just now to feel a world that was in your imagination and desire but never with you; even when you were here itself 15 minutes ago. That is the power of meditation. Since a month, whenever I am getting time, I tune into Astha at 7.10 PM. Brahmakumaris teach us how to meditate and concentrate on things that matter to us and our soul. 

              The last method is to visit the place that you love the most. No, I am not talking about Goa or Ooty where you will get your bank balance affected which will give rise to future tensions. But visit the place in your town/city itself. Recently, I went to Siddhivinayak Temple, Marine Drive, Flora Fountain and Mumbai CST to clean my mind. I was in lots of trauma. I am still in it but I have control over myself now. Then I was feeling dejected and broken. My parents weren't confident about me, they still aren't. My friends left me alone when I thought that they would preach me quotes that I am already familiar with (:-)). My college teachers were snubbing me every day in front of whole class. As all of you may have noticed, I am not even doing well in this field of Blogging and Book reviewing as I have written nothing from a long time. Every thing is out of place. I thought a lot about running away from the Failures but it seemed to be difficult. At last, I made a plan.

              I went to visit these places mentioned above. Roamed a lot. Ate nicely. Enjoyed with friend. Purchased what I wanted to. I didn't care about money that day. And since then, I am at least in my conscious. I know now what I have to do. I still need some time alone and hence I am trying my best to not meet people because all of them will talk about their lives in which I am currently not interested. All of them will ask about my Failures. They will tell me about the changes that has happened in their life. And seriously speaking, my life is currently in a mode where it needs change. A monotonous life has killed enthusiasm. Though my life is inspiring for me. I don't find any glitches in my daily routines but still I needed a change for some time. I needed rest. I needed it for survival. And I am resting by cutting off from the whole world which I don't think cares much about me. And since I have taken this step, life has started giving me surprises and the graph has started moving upwards. It will reach zenith once again and things would be best again. I know this.

             And as the mind is in order because of one of the three steps that I took, I now have all the plan how I have to move ahead from here. How I have to manage studies plus the blogging plus my book plus book reviewing plus friendships plus avoiding so-called friendships plus giving time to parents plus doing every thing that I usually do. And from here, I also want to take my life to a new level. For that, I will do anything to get at position where my life will be secured. Currently, its little see-sawing. I will stabilize it soon. I will have to take some risky steps. I am just prepared/preparing for it. Let's see what's in store for me. But the purpose of writing this post was to tell all of you the three ways I prefer for cleansing my mind and coming out of the struggling phase. I have also uploaded a picture of mine that was clicked at Marine Drive, Mumbai. You will yourself say that I can never look better than this. The face seems to have no tension and pain but it had. But the process of cleansing the mind made every thing look as it's the best part of my life. :-) This is all for tonight.

 Thanks.

Myntra vs Indiaplaza!!! Guest Post by Himanshu Agarwal!!!

Reader's BLOG POST -->>

     

     Himanshu Agarwal likes to write about travel, businesses and e-commerce. He is also the co-founder of Couponlava.com which provides latest and working coupons for almost all online stores in India. 

FOREWORD by HIMANSHU AGARWAL:-

             Abhilash has shared ample of his wisdom through his blog. Sometimes, reading his blog feels like browsing over one's own thoughts. He has been very patient with his blog and posted a lot of useful content. I feel honoured and proud to have been allowed to post a guest article at his blog. I hope you will enjoy it. :)

MYNTRA vs INDIAPLAZA!!!

Is Myntra Mighty Enough To Oust Indiaplaza?

The internet population in India is slowly getting set to go online for its purchases. The numbers of online purchasers are increasing in India, though a vast section of the society still engages doubts about the genuinity of these online stores. The questions that lurk the minds of the buyers are addressed adequately by some online stores and hence online stores are slowly becoming sought by the public. Moreover, online stores have been using effective marketing strategies to be registered in the buyers’ minds. Quality products for low price and wide range of buying options are the secrets behind the success of online stores. All online stores follow these simple rules while some excel with their unique offers and customer service. Let us see if Myntra and Indiaplaza perform better than abide by the basic rules and if Myntra could compete with Indiaplaza, its senior by many years.

Are Myntra And Indiaplaza On The Same Platform?

Myntra made its online presence in 2007. The products of Myntra include apparels, footwear and accessories such as wallets, jewellery, watches and perfumes. Indiaplaza entered into online selling in the year 1999. This senior online store has stunning collections across various categories such as apparels, baby products, cameras, electronic appliances, health products, cosmetics, jewellery, mobiles, foot wear and sports goods. The product category clearly shows that Myntra and Indiaplaza do not share the same platform. However, Indiaplaza’s performance in product availability is not up to the mark. Some categories do not have any products to offer and the categories seem to be included just to project product range. Where apparels, footwear and accessories are concerned, Myntra does impressively well when compared to Indiaplaza. Hence, in spite of the categories listed, Indiaplaza’s performance does not match Myntra’s.

Who Sells Better Quality For Reasonable Price?

Ensuring quality of products and offering them for a discounted price make an online store popular with the public. Both Myntra and Indiaplaza perform well as far as quality of products and rates are concerned. The online stores offer branded items and hence quality of products can be depended upon by the customers. The rates are competitive and Myntra and Indiaplaza offer Myntra promo codes and Indiaplaza discount coupons to give their customers better discounts.

How Great Is Their Customer Service?

The interest and enthusiasm displayed by most of the online stores in selling their products disappear once the transaction is complete. It is indeed sad to note that these online stores assume that the deal is over once the payment has been made by the customer. An effective business would never consider a deal to be over. On the contrary, it would consider it an ongoing process with the buyer making repeated visits to the store. A satisfied customer brings in more customers while a customer who leaves unhappy prevents much more customers from accessing the store. Most of the online stores tend to overlook the basic quality essential for a business, which is quality customer service.

Myntra and Indiaplaza do not do well in customer service. Myntra does a bit better but it is considered to be slow in its response whereas Indiaplaza seems to hardly respond. In spite of the poor customer service, these stores have regular customers, which goes to show that they have the stuff to perform better and offer quality products and services. Until they get to prove themselves in this area, it would be futile to consider them effective competitors.

 Thanks.

Not Every Friend Circle Takes us to the Right Corner!!!

822nd BLOG POST -->>

             All of us saw Sanjay Dutt shattering and breaking down today in the special screening. A man of his stature, physique, strength could not deal with something that has come in his life uncertainly. A man like him also got solace in his sister's arm. He hugged her and cried a lot. Though the moment was sympathetic but should we grant this allocation to the person who has been a part of Mumbai Bomb Blast? Though he says that he is innocent but which public figure would say that he/she has been a part of something which is as heinous and criminal as this? Something that he did 20 years ago has started haunting him now. He has just one month to rejoice his life after which he has to rot in jail for next 3.5 years. And once a person comes back from jail, loses all his energy and will power. He starts feeling under confident about everything that he used to do with excellence once. By the time Sanjay Dutt would be coming out of the jail, he would be 57 years old and almost the last ages of his working life would be finished. His children will grow old and everything related to him will change by heaps and bounds. For the same unwary reasons, Salman Khan is not even marrying. Even he knows that he can be jailed anytime. 

             Considering their cases, mainly Sanjay Dutt's... you will find that he got trapped in this web because of bad company or friendship. The bad habits and alcoholism also plays its part. He did all this when he was 30-35 years old- the age at which generally a middle-class average person gets matured and understands what's good and bad. This boy being a son of a luxurious family didn't think much about his life because he got every thing easily. A bad company or the union with wrong friends/people always makes you suffer. I remember the amount of times I visited Principal's office in school. Except once or twice, it was always because the group of which I was a part of was involved in all kinds of mastis and hullabaloo. 

              When you feel like doing something that's not appropriate, a friend has to stop you. If he stops that means he is with you and not your fun. And the friends who get entertained by your simplicity are the real friends else the ones who get entertained only by the fun activities that you do are the ones who are demanding nature to make a fun of yours so that they can laugh more. Every time you get into a company that asks for hang-outs, drink parties, night-outs and other addictive activities regularly, do analyze the moment and the friendship. I am telling you. The moment when we experience all these is the golden moment at that point of time but later on when you realize that you are been trapped in their group and their heinous activities that they do except partying around, it will be too late to get back to the smooth life you were in. Once in a half year, its good to enjoy the life to the fullest but something on daily basis is just dragging you to something bad that you can't see but its all around you.

               If Sanjay Dutt would not have befriended those Dons and Shooters of Mumbai, he would have been safe today. But because he was involved with them, he got stuck in this shameful crime while the main mastermind is roaming free on the Earth. Even when Mika kissed Rakhi Sawant forcibly, it was clearly evident in the video that his friends provoked him to do. That one case has spoiled Mika's name up to the extent at which even when he performs the best in any year still doesn't get  the tag "Legend" by us. We take him casually. Always keep a check that who are the people you are roaming these days with or getting close to. If you feel that the person is little dominating or does not let you do what you like, get away from such group. Though initially it would be hard but later on you will realize that one step of your life has kept every thing stable otherwise you would have been stuck in the same case in which they are struggling today. 

             Friends are a good part of life but not the best until and unless they are not better human beings than you. That's all I felt like saying after seeing Sanjay Dutt shatter today in front of the world. That's because of a wrong Friendship. Be aware, alert and safe.

 Thanks.
