The Lost and the Found Brazil!


"When Brazil's national soccer team lost to Germany on Tuesday in a 7-1 rout, it lost something much larger than a game."

Read it and felt that there is something intrinsically common with everyone on this planet. Irrespective of the countries, regions, religions,

"There wasn't even time to suffer," said Almir Leite Rodrigues, 55, a retired history professor, describing the sensation of seeing Germany rack up so many goals so quickly. He and his daughter began watching the game on the beach in Copacabana along with thousands of others before withdrawing to a bench on a seaside avenue to contemplate what had happened.

"Maybe I'll feel something tomorrow," he quietly said. "I am numb at the moment."

Reminding me of the PTSD, Survivor's Guilt, Bipolar Disorder and other stress disorders I studied in the writings of Hemingway. The context was US and the World War. It had left the whole psyche of the US Soldiers, their families, friends and anyone who felt for them, in an acute state of 'FALL". This downfall of strength-this epidemic of despair-disappointment had hit the US hard and we still find the stirs of that depressive decade.

What to think of the Brazil 'depression hangover'? Is it the one that we have witnessed in India in the Pre-IPL era? Or it is the one that can be identified with the the great American depression?

Thanks to the IPL-Cricket remains a religion-but the obsessions has turned into 'controlled-confused compassion' for the spectators. They watch, predict, even put their predictions into the betting rackets, they dance-merry-go for the IPL outing and still remain the 'Cricket Lovers'.

The bouncing back of Brazil-Football Lovers-is necessary and will certainly happen as one can not against the self-EGO.

People have already expressed their willingness to get out of this suffering. Somehow, I feel that this can become a great opportunity to balance-bring the catharsis-of Brazilian Team Fans.

The purification was required to happen and now they will again be back to support the team with refined minds and hearts for the game that puts the world on roll.

Football!

It's Great to be ME!

Arrogance?!
Is it!?!
Let it be!!!
I care a lot about this arrogance and that is why I somehow preserve it.
There is a Rebel in Everyone and Each One of this Everyone fights to preserve it.

I read #ManuJoseph speaking about #RGV and #Kejriwal in The #HindustanTimes.
He made sense to me and I made it clear to my self that there are lot many people who share the same frequency of thinking.
It is not at all about being adamant, being close-minded or being anarchists; it is about being YourSelf!

Now where does this Being Selfish take you?
Does it invite alienation from everything-everyone around?
Is it wrong to be self-concerned?
What do we mean by being Universal?
What is Separate Peace then?
Is it possible to take the positive connotation from the concept of Separate Peace?
YES to the last one and I am here to take this justification process to its logical conclusion.

Discussing Separate Peace is, somehow discussing about my self.
Life, Civilization, Nations, Relations, Family... all are to be discussed and mentioned in relation to Separate Peace as they have an inherited peace, settlement in them: #SeparatePeace.

Happiness is a By Product....UNDERSTANDING the Surroundings!

Happy! or not...
or you follow the dictum- Choose to be Happy!

The diving and coming to surface are very often selected by us. Yet we complain when we don't have the control over circumstantial reactions towards our existence. One desires to prove-collect evidences that the breathing is not just a mechanical affair-rather the person who is making this in-out of the O-Co2, carries something called 'potential. The urge to establish the presence, be it through working, not working or it is through the violent expressions. We amend ourselves a lot, making a precise strategy to have a comfortable stay.
WE are imperative-relative to our surroundings. This does not mean that our surroundings act upon us. Probably most of us have this notion about surroundings and we tend to keep this belief. It gives us a safeguard against any fall, any question or even a failure. We pass the buck to circumstances and to surroundings.
Happiness is, somehow, a by product of this 'adaptability' to 'nature'.
There can be, if fact, there is an INVERSE Action also.
Going with the flow of situations may not lead you to better gains; hence you decide to, even if temporarily, you decide to swim against the current. In all communication, with encouragements, we have the option of doing the inverse and make the other person do what we desire.
It is not just in the humourous cartoon situations that we see them doing things exactly opposite to each other; it happens in life too.
Utilization of the self is a very tactful matter and our mind reciprocates-I don't mean reacts or responds. And this reciprocation is not because one has thought of the world around and wants to return the favours. It is the SELFIE! The very own self that I own, is the doer and receiver of this I do good-because I like good.
My surrounding are not the geographic-demographic entities that come my way every day. Though, I can not reject that there is no thing called surroundings. I do not deny that their is nothing between Happiness and Surroundings. There is a give and take in these two.
But we need to open our mind radar to make the term surroundings more comprehensive or very objective. This is sure that we need to take one side. Taking sides is very crucial in understanding the impact of the 'neighbourhood'.

Things that you remember-remember-respect-repeat are the ones that matter to you. Surrounding is decided by you. The Hindi word "SANGAT (संगत)" corresponds to the term companionship or bit of neigbourhood that someone keeps or has. When we see into this Hindi word and relate it to Surroundings and thereafter to Happiness,we find something well felt-well known-least shared.
My Surroundings are my Happiness!
You can be affected my something which is far away from you and you may not feel even a stir for something which as near as your skin.
There is a Psychological Anesthesia we give to our mind and more special thing about this virtual medicine is that, it works selectively.
On People-on part-on roads-in books-in movies-at work-during journey... We successfully avoid-neglect anything that may be very very crucial in our life-at some other time-in some other context!

...yet another year of being Parveen!



"The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person's determination."

It has been not that long time-but still almost five years ( over five years may be as the packing had started) since I joined an unknown workplace. I was less aware of the stature of my job; more fascinated about shifting to a place, I actually did not craved as I felt I was too simple-small to reach here.
The call on the landline, that my mother had picked (from Chhaya Chandraker), I did not respond the call on Mobile-She still called on the landline to reach me-...
The call on landline, when I had agreed to be a candidate for interview seems a thing of yesterday because of the trueness of it. I, then askedKanwar Gagan Deep Chauhan and he said come-I am here and no problem about stay during the process at all...
Another elder brother Vijendra Malik.. and we three made a brotherhood of staying together for more than a couple of years in the same flat. 
Of Course I had got selected and had opted for April 01 as the First Day of My Job.
A Day...that I wanted to smile at...a day that makes many smile at the selection of this very Fool's Day!
Manoj Yadav With you we cherished-relived the colony memories and created a Hafed even here, still it is there as we stay in streets next to each other. (Difference is-I am Married!-You r not!)
Ankur Bhardwaj-AB... the Big Boss..The StrongMan came to job here and we enjoy great time as usual....

The Workplace:
I was conscious to start with the Final Year of MBA-people who were hardly two years younger to me...then another batch of MBA..theRaghvendra Pande and All dears of HR..Took a Semester after them with Marketing too..then moved to 
Engineering suddenly...
The Training of my Parents & Gurus like Lather Sir to Rule with determination and Positivism made me stand firm and work hard.
After the two years of walk-run-walk-run...stereotype working-though with learning n teaching..I had to start my way...
The 2012 passing out batch knows...(they are many to tag here) We did the Research on Employers, We ended up with BLOGGING-That too-Individual Blogs...
That time I learned from the students about more to do...

Today...when I am completing the Fifth Year in a few days in Amity University NOIDA as a Teacher (designations matter very less) of Communication Skills, English & Business Communication...

Each of my section/class has their own blog-WORKING-Full of various type of Learning content by Students only...
I have a working Twiter Handle to interact with-inform students...
A Broadcast Group of Class Representatives on WhatsApp...

More Special..."The Digital Presentation (Communication Skills)" - One has to search it in YouTube or Google videos and see...

I have already Started work-with Students on "Amity Auto-Mob Review" channel on Youtube-where they will review the Automobiles...Will record and will post...
This is done-apart from all that the curriculum policy says! I am able to do all this with the guidance and willingness of students only.

Swati Parv Sharma when we celebrate the Good Day for me on 31st March...
I conclude with yet another year of being Parveen!

Separate Peace-A Costly Affair

It is very costly to establish a separate peace. You need to pay heavily for this. Not in terms of money 'alone'  but in the form of time-attention and ignorance.
One needs to concentrate on someone to ignore the same.


contd....














quoting from HT-12 June- 


Here’s how to tell if you, too, are an everythingist. Do you clutch your phone in your hand at all times, like a beacon against the cold, a magic talisman with its promise of otherness? Did the news that Prism could be spying on all of our data give you a giddy rush when you thought that one of the lockdown powergeeks might be looking in and realising that you are the chosen one?
Do you, like me, think that fairytale endings will magically happen to your life — ie, you will fall in deep rewarding love and raise daughters with Rapunzel hair in a beautiful Welsh farmhouse one day, writing novels on a typewriter, milking your nanny goats at dawn?
The everythingist can’t be tied down by a job and so they work freelance. They are breathlessly addicted to their youth, despite being 12 years older than their parents were when they had them; can’t read a book to the end because they’ve already started two more; and they need to know, at all times, that they could, in theory, if they wanted to, at any point, run away to Rio de Janeiro.
The everythingist works from home, revelling in their freedom to go for a walk in the sunshine while other sad jobsworthy losers are stuck at their desks with not so much as a freelancer’s liedown to look forward to. The everythingist has been planning this walk in the sunshine for 17 days now, having been quite distracted by all the freelancer’s liedowns that it is their right and freedom to enjoy.
If you are not an everythingist, and you’re one of those people who gets stuff done and gets over it — I realise now that you have the greatest freedom of all. I can only apologise for how I used to giggle at you for being boring and keeping lists and being on time while I dashed over half an hour late to meet you, hopes and dreams blinding my eyes so that I couldn’t read a bus timetable.

Random Writings:03 'Negative Relations and Positive Influence'

 Negative Relations and Positive Influence versus Positive Relations and Negative Influence

The terms he derived for the sake of randomizing the random writings.

This is something very common with his days and nights.
He used to create happiness with the quotes and with the ones who gave these.

It was his exam today, means our character is some sort of students too; he has the fortune of remaining a student throughout his life and has already decided what is to be done in the coming decades;apart from becoming a better or best of someone, really the ONE he prayed for.

The home will have new meaning today; and he should not forget to get petrol for the bike and needs to see its insurance renewal also.

And get some fruits and do bring himself to work for the studies.
This minor level exam has brought for him the required 
'i wanaa stand up' willingness.

he hopes that he will tell me so many things..
he is meeting me after so many moments...

c ya...

Random Writings-02


The New Table and The change: Random Writings 02:
When he returned home, sounds divine when you call a house a home, he found a newness in his room.
Someone has come to his side and was standing firmly to colour him with his presence.
For the whole day, he had been dealing with the 'why they neglected me' but now the touch of the wood gave him happiness.
Happiness, though is a relative term, he said.
and the moment he said, he felt that he was being touched with softness and was being prompted to write.
Some amount of cough, some dryness in throat and some of his random conflicts enabled him.
/
This was the start of Random Writings-02.
He ranked it, may be numbered, or to say he ranked the numbers.
He could easily feel the face of his inner self on his shoulders and was always aware of her presence.
A presence, that corrects him in his spellings, words and looks.
' I am no one to write'
Why and how to write?
certain answers were already there for these baseless questions.
but, just for the sake of a ritual, he asked these and answered himself.
When he was typing on the not so slow laptop, he saw the sound of the processor and went inside.
Of course, he was dreaming, of course he was not.
The Mr So Called Writer has just woke up.
Let him come out of the bed and realize that the companion is still on his side, very near to him.
He gave a look, with both the eyes, to the table.
He was happy and this has been the only thing that mattered to him.
Live in the present and choose to be Happy.
He said to himself and went back to the snoozing ten minutes.
Let him start the day, man.

This is Random Writings 02.
