Astrology!! Numerology!! Believable or not?
At Casuarina beach, Monday, 13th April
How much are we affected by this systems, beliefs or traditions?
Do we want numbers or stars to rule us? Or do we want to rule our own life?
Why don’t we question when astrologer says something good about us? And why we are reluctant to believe him when he says something bad is going to happen? Or why we believe him at first place?
Because we allow someone who we think has enough knowledge of these systems to decide our future?
But is the future predictable? If it is, then what is the fun living this life? If I already knew that this will be the path of my life and I have to walk on it, what is the fun living this life? No exploration or adventure? If somebody tells me that, in 2010, I’m going to be rich, what should I do? To work on it, or just to sit thinking that, mate! I’m going to be rich no matter what! Coz, my astronomer says so, or my destiny says so!
What I believe is that there is no greater power than love or God. Then, why do we believe in something (Astrology) about which we don’t know enough?
I guess astrology only works on us, if we want it to work. It means, it is not the astrology, it is our attitude and thinking which works.
What if there was no existence of astrology or Numerology?
How the hell can we or can anyone know the future? How the hell can I know that my marriage with this girl is going to work or not in advance? Why does divorce happen? I’m not married so I don’t have any experience in this regard! But logic says that, marriage only doesn’t work, if we don’t know how to work it out! Those who chose to take divorce don’t know how to find the solution or how to work it out and those whose marriages work know how to work them out if there is any problem.
Which couple doesn’t have any problem? If they say they don’t, they are lying or they are abnormal!
Swami Vivekananda says “If you don’t find a problem in a day, believe that you are going in a wrong direction”. That problem can be small or big or whatever it is. And if not a problem, then a difference of opinion. But where doesn’t the difference of opinion exist? Everywhere.
As it exist everywhere, it solution exists too. Solution – Mutual understanding.
I am not ending this post! Coz this is never ending! I’m just leaving it anywhere- don’t know where!
... calm, n quite today - me,
Rakesh

Easter in Australia
CDU, Lab, Friday, 10th April, 2009, while listening Jagzit Singh's Love is blind album.
Oye its Friday!
Probably the most important day in a week!
For professional workers, it’s the day to look forward to weekend. Now I come in this category. It is also the usual day for night out. For Indian film industry, the day which decides the destiny of actors and fate of the movies made with lots of efforts and money.
But this Friday, a Friday of the month April, is a Good Friday, a day when Easter holidays start and stays till the next week’s Monday. So, I have four days off in a raw. Yay!!!
Easter is probably the second most favorite and popular festival of Christian religion after Christmas in Australia. I do not know much about this religion. Whatever I know is because of the Christian friends I have in Australia and a little from books, articles and internet. They also have different branches in it. Some of the Christians do not chose to celebrate this festival because of their belief. I don’t care. I love each festival where happiness, togetherness and celebration come. We, Indians are experts in this. The richest country in this aspect. A truly miracle. An incredible India.
Australia has a different style of celebrating this festival. This is the time when all family members come together and share happiness. Morning comes with a prayer in church. A day to remember Jesus’s suffering and on his words spoken from the cross. It is believed that on Good Friday, Jesus Christ was executed by crucifixion. His body was taken down from the cross, and buried in a cave. The tomb was guarded and an enormous stone was put over the entrance, so that no-one could steal the body. On the following Sunday, some women visited the grave and found that the stone had been moved, and that the tomb was empty. Jesus himself was seen that day, and for days afterwards by many people. His followers realised that God had raised Jesus from the death. Easter celebrations also reflect on peace and forgiveness which has come out of aggression.
Since Friday is a public holiday, Thursday was rushed with people doing their shopping. I also did – for my grocery so that I don’t have to die with hunger – the basic necessity. On public holiday, there is no public transport available. So, I see it as a day to finish some household work and to be in the vicinity to nature. Yes, I’m going to beach today evening. Today, Shops are fully decorated with colourful strips, balloons, Easter bunnies, Easter eggs and Australian bilby. I have attached pictures of Easter bunny and Easter eggs at the top. Sales almost everywhere till Saturday. I love them.
I wish my mates a happy Easter.
And wonder when my turn will come to celebrate Diwali with family!!
Till then,
Cheers

Never give up
ONE DAY I DECIDED TO QUIT…
I QUIT MY JOB, MY RELATIONSHIP, MY SPIRITUALITY….
I WANTED TO QUIT MY LIFE.
I WENT TO THE WOODS TO HAVE ONE LAST TALK WITH GOD.
“God”, I said. ”Can you give me one good reason not to quit?”
His answer surprised me.
“Look around”, He said. “Do you see the fern and the bamboo?”
“Yes”, I replied.
“When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of
them. I gave them light. I gave them water.
The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the
floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo
seed. But I did NOT quit on the bamboo.
“In the second year the fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again,
nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I
did NOT quit on the bamboo.
“In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would
NOT quit. The same in year four.
“Then in the fifth year, a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared
to the fern, it was seemingly small and
insignificant.
“But just six months later, the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall.
“It had spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and
gave it what it needed to survive. I
would not give any of my creations a challenge it could not handle.
“Did you know, my child, that all this time you have been struggling, you
have actually been growing roots? I would
NOT quit on the bamboo.. I will NEVER quit on you.
“Don’t compare yourself to others.” He said. “The bamboo had a different
purpose than the fern. Yet they both make
the forest beautiful.
“Your time will come”, God said to me.. ”You will rise high”
“How high should I rise?” I asked.
“How high will the bamboo rise?” He asked in return.
“As high as it can?” I questioned
“Yes.” He said,
“Give me glory by rising as high as you can.”
I left the forest, realizing that God will NEVER give up on me.
And He will NEVER give up on you.
NEVER REGRET A DAY IN YOUR LIFE.
GOOD DAYS GIVE YOU HAPPINESS; BAD DAYS GIVE YOU EXPERIENCES.
BOTH ARE ESSENTIAL TO LIFE.
SO ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF LIFE……………
Courtesy: Shree Amitabh bachchan. This peace is taken directly from his blog Which I follow almost on regular basis. Big B - Great source of inspiration for all of us - A bundle of talent.
May lord give him more power and may he share his knowledge with all of us n bless us..
Have a cheerful day people,
Rakesh...

First blunder at work
At work, Tuesday, 7th April, 12:56am
ha ha !!
A funny blunder happened while I was going to work today and I definately want to store it in my blog. I start work at 8am. To be able to finish all naturally required things and a bit household work for a bachelor guy like me, I wake up one hour early- 7 am. I feel its sufficient for me. This phase of work life is still new to me and I still am trying to adjust to it. Its almost been 7 weeks now. I have a problem with waking up early. But I was determined to do so (I had to otherwise they would have kicked me out by now !). I believe, if you are given any role and trust, you feel responsible and this job makes me feel that and I am happy about it.
Yes yes, I am coming back to the real story...
So, today I slept late - at 2:30 am. I knew I was going to have only 4 and half hour of sleep. But I don't remember this time telling my mind to wake me up when I hear alarm. This time I was completely dependent on my mob's alarm. And guess what, it worked. It woke my body up but my mind was still sleeping (I am guessing this, because when I woke up, I saw the alarm was turned off and I live alone in my room). So when I actually woke up, it was 12 noon. he he... I could not understand what was happening. For 3-4 mins I kept staring at my mob and date. I guess, I was trying to convince my mind that yes, its 12 noon and you have missed work. I could not believe it and did not know what to do. The first thing I did was to call my boss and told him about this accident. He was kind enough and laughed at it. Finally, without taking shower, without finishing any naturally required things and of course NO household work, I rushed to work.
And could not stop myself to write about it... But I better keep my boss's trust and finish the work for today. Trust - something which takes years to earn and seconds to break !!
Have a good day :)

First day
Charles Darwin University, Monday 6th April, 10:58pm
Hi all,
I dont know how many of my friends or any others are ever goin to visit my blog. But a little introduction to myself is given in "About me" Link at right corner.
Hmmm...
Firstly, I shall clear the purpose of coming to the world of so called "Blogging". I understand blog as a medium to express one’s own views regardless they are likeable or not. And so, blogging does not have any set format or structure. It is so individual. The primary purpose of me coming to this facility of great “internet world” is to gather some useful information and keep it in a safe, storable place (let’s hope for now!). And I hope at a later stage we (personally I) will have a bunch of good (may be not for everyone!) informations. I also see it as a means to express my views on different topics – as I said likeable or not. :)
