A New Thought - An Old Teaching!

India, the country of abundance in all resources has held human-kind with its deep roots of knowledge and learning. In this post I would like to share with you all a learning I had from one of my sessions at college.

         Would you believe that a 2000 year old method of understanding can solve the any complex program of today’s world?

         Is it possible to understand anything or any situation by answering 3 questions?

Well, the ancient scholars had found a way of understanding which was practiced in the oldest and one of the first universities of the world - The Nalanda University!

The 3 questions are –

What is it?

What is it made up of?

How does it all work together?

Wondering how this can help a person understand better? Try answering the questions with the example of a pen; getting a hang of it.

A ‘Pen’ is a device that helps record (write) words on a smooth surface.

It is made up of a body with a cap, nib to write and an ink tube.

A ‘Pen’ is a device that helps write words on a smooth surface using ink flowing through a nib.

Still not sure about the method of understanding?

Try this mode of answering the 3 vital questions to understand anything and any situation.

What's special for 2010?

Every new year is welcomed, by all, with new hopes and dreams to achieve. People take resolutions and make promises to themselves and to their loved ones that from the start of the year things are going to be new and different. The irony in this is, in most cases - the same resolutions and promises are made year after year which is broke dutifully every year. Despite all this, 1st of Jan, of every year is special.


As the song goes, "its a new day.. its a new start".


And thus, this new year, I promise to myself that - "am gonna be regular in writing both my diary and my blog".


Writing and maintaining a diary is a personal affair. It is good because one has a record of him / her self and can do an introspection. But Blogging, I feel, is a very funny idea. Don't you think so? A person who has access to the internet and has quite tolerable command over the language can go over and write just anything he / she feels like. But then, when one wants him / her self to be heard, ideas to be spread, what other better way than blogging?
