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...
