Moments Liver

Moment living is an art of a musician, writer, artist or a person who loves life.

To take this content to the next step I will take an example which will be known by most of us. There is lot many people who have done their job by winning billions of hearts.

I am considering this person because he carry a lot values to teach. This person is known for his instinct response and love for his job. He poured so much love, authenticity and sense of humor in his work as this will not let you take out your eyes out of his work. He is an actor who is well known for his honesty, simplicity and great efforts to seek success. A great moment liver if I see anyone I find first name - The Irfan Khan. 

Mostly people forget to smile while approaching success. We consider that we need to be hard and bit strict to accomplish our goals but this person entirely proves it wrong. Live life to it full extent and Be happy, always remember that "Smile wins more hearts then a frown". His life was not always on golden throne but he has an eagerness to learn and make it simple. Honestly if you see his work deeply it tells how much efforts he kept to make his work immortal definitely watch his work again and again you end up knowing his greatness.

The reason I gave example of Irfan Khan is because we all can see his work and can learn how to live the moment as his work is easily available to us. He is not only the person who lives in the moments there is so many who masters this art. Living in the moment doesn't mean only smile but we need to deliver honesty. It is brittle sometime and could be sour for others but if you love them do it openly.

I never see this person out of energy or without his sense of humor. His work make me believe that you need not to be gold throne or well stable to live moments, you just need to open heart, eyes and rest of your body senses to make out the best of the moment.

Few lines from Farhan Akhtar very deep and touchy-

JAB JAB DURD KA BADAL CHAYA,

JAB GUM KA SAYA LAHARAYA,

JAB AASU PALKO TAK AAYA,

JAB YE DILL GHABARAYA.

HAMNE DILL KO YE SAMJHAYA,

DILL AAKHIR TU KYO ROTA HAI,

DUNIYA MAI AISA HE HOTA HAI.

JO YE GHARE SANATE HAI

WAQT NE SABKO HE BAATE HAI.

THODA GUM HAI SABKA QISSA,

THODE DHOOP HAI SABKA HISSA.

AANKH TERE BEKAR HE NUM HAI,

HAR PAL NAYA MAUSAM HAI.

DILL AAKHIR TU KYO ROTA HAI.

Translation- Whenever there was cloud of pain, when sorrow hit you hard, when tear start dropping from eyes when heart started tempting because of fear. Please talk to yourself and ask why to cry, World is full of these stories of pain. The dark emptiness which you see this everyone have in their life spam. Little of sorrow is the part of one and little of intense sunlight too the part of one. There is no meaning of keeping wet eyes as every moment is the new moment.

Then why dear Heart you cry ?

A Pound of Butter

There was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to a baker. One day the baker decided to weigh the butter to see if he was getting exactly a pound. It wasn't a pound this made baker angry and he decided to take the farmer to the court. 

The Judge asked the farmer, How he is measuring the butter which he was selling. 

Farmer replied, "Your Honor, I am Primitive (old tradition). I don't have proper measure but I do have a scale.

The Judge asked, "Then how do you weigh the butter ?"

The Farmer replied, " The Honor, Long before the baker started buying A pound of butter from me and I started buying a pound loaf of bread from him. Everyday when baker brings the bread, I put it on the scale and give him the same weight in butter. If anyone need to be blamed, It is baker. 

"We get back in life what we give to others".  

 

SMILE

विद्यां ददाति विनयं विनयाद् याति पात्रताम् l

पात्रत्वात् धनमाप्नोति धनात् धर्मं ततः सुखम् ll

 

This means education will make you polite, Politeness will brings credibility. This Credibility or Competence will get you wealth and on spending this wealth for good deeds will make you happy. 

The main goal is happiness not the wealth even not the credibility.

A Smiling face is free of all the doubts or the roller coaster of the life. Smiling face welcomes everyone irrespective of their age, wealth or Position. Smiling in advance doesn't steal anything from one's then why do people wear arrogance or weary face.

How does arrogance became trend ?

Does gaining wealth is the sign of loosing smile ?

Being honest I too wear this sometime but I will meet one or other person who makes me believe life is not bitter as you are perceiving it. You need to live it as it is. Just welcome each and every moment as the colors which we likes vary people to people then why need to live the way others are living. And these words made me realize that to keep up my status I forgot to Smile. 

I have a very beautiful lines Written by Shiv Khera in his Book You Can Win is - 

SMILE

A smile costs nothing, but it creates much.

It enriches those who receive it without impoverishing those who give it.

It happen in a flash and the memory of it may last forever.

It creates happiness in the home, fosters goodwill in a business ans is the countersign of friends.

It is rest to weary, and nature's best antidote for trouble.

In the course of the day, some of your acquaintances may be too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours.

Thanks for Reading 😊

See you Soon

She recovered from Polio but lost strength of her left leg and foot. Doctor provided her a braces to step on the floor and to walk.

Wilma's mother was the main spark who make her walk without braces. As She said " You would walk without braces". Yes it is true you are special kid and the same way you need to live your life. She did with here persistent diligence and with only one determination to walk, later she build a habit to run. She Participated in events and end up in last position. Participated again made some progresses and continued. In US Olympic preliminary she set a world record for 200 Meter that stood for 8 years.

I Loved the feeling of freedom in running, the fresh air, the feeling that the only person I'm competing with is me.

I Know You Would Come

There were two childhood friends who went through School, college and even joined Army together. War broke out and they were fighting in the same unit. Bullets and bombarding was all over, out of all bullets and bombarding came out a strange voice- "Anish! please come and help me".

 

Anish immediately recognize the voice of Aniket. He asked the captain if he could go? 

Captain replied - No! I can't let you go. I am already short handed and can't afford to lose one more person.

Aniket screamed again- Anish! Please come and help me.

Anish! Please come and help me. 

Anish, sat quietly because captain had refused earlier. Again When He heard Aniket, he didn't able to stop himself. Anish asked captain I need to go sir. His captain allowed and He crawled into the darkness and dragged back Aniket to trench. They found that Aniket was died. Now captain got angry and shouted at Anish. Didn't I tell you that Aniket was not going to make it. He is dead and you could have been killed and I would have been become more short handed. You made a mistake. 

Anish replied- I didn't make a mistake.

When I reached to Aniket his last words were - "Anish!  I Know you would come".

Moral- Good relationship is hard to find and once developed should be nurtured.

Considerate Young Boy

This is a story of a 10 year old boy, Who been to a Ice Cream Shop. He asked for Ice cream to the waitress after occupying a seat in the restaurant.

She asked which one you would like to have- 

He replied " I needed a Ice Cream Cone of butterscotch" .

How much it cost he asked immediately?

Waitress answered it cost 75 Cents. 

The kid started counting its cents and asked do you have smaller cone of Ice Cream with one scoop? 

She Replied - Yes, with nodding her head.

He asked again how much smaller Cone cost ?

She answered - It is 65 Cents.

Boy smiled and said please give me one. 

She bought, served him with smile and the young boy enjoyed the Ice Cream cone. He paid the bill and left happily.

When the waitress came to pick the plate she was touched. Underneath the plate she found 10 Cents as the tip.

The young boy had the consideration for the waitress before he ordered the Ice Cream for himself. He showed sensitivity and caring. He thought of others before himself.

If we all think the way as this boy thinks we will have a great place to live.
If we this kind of society no one stays hungry and the world will be full of Courtesy and Gratitude.

Bicycle Ride to Yelagiri

Mindset

Few months back I planned a bicycle ride to Yelagiri (Tamil Nadu) from Bangalore. I started preparing weeks before as went for my Bicycle servicing, took carrier and other safety kits. It was November 13th, 2019 today I came bit early from office approximately 7:00 PM, yes it is bit early as I am late riser 😞so I mostly reach office nearly 10-11 AM and come back nearly 9-10 PM to home. So today I had slight headache and A question was rising in my mind that am I ready for my first 300 plus KM bicycle ride ? I went for sleep without eating anything as headache was penetrating me, nearly 3 O'Clock I woke up and I was absolutely fine but damn hungry. 

These things you won't believe you can do until you do it. For me waking up early itself a very difficult task usually to wakes up early, I prefer to skip sleep 😅. So waking up at 3:00 AM was first successful step for this trip and obvious most difficult step too. Got ready and finished my first meal and set Bicycle it looks something like this.

Now it is 5:30 AM and I have to travel today 170 KM approximately in which 30 KM is the hill riding which I wasn't aware before. First 30 KM successfully accomplished by 8:00 AM. Make a note, if you willing to go for such rides drink water by every 20 KM or by 1 hour at least. I crossed Karnataka Border and I felt hungry, I was seeking for a restaurant, luckily I found one and order light breakfast Idly Sambhar and it was palatable and ginger tea 😇 my elixir. After finishing breakfast I was ready for my remaining 85 KM ride.

                                                    

                                          

Now I was getting a lot of calls on route as It was my 25th birthday so I answered each call took blessing of all and continued my ride. After each 1.5 to 2 hours interval I was taking water brake and mostly I was preferring Raagi Malt and Butter Milk as while these rides it is more recommended anyway please find the necessary things to follow up at bottom of this blog. 

Now it was afternoon 1:30 AM and my back got so rigid and I can feel the pain and again thoughts came should drive back to Bangalore, Should I quit my ride 🙆 ?

 Not at all ✌

As I was thinking about it suddenly it started raining and luckily I found one open temple without door but with shelter and one priest. I took my bicycle near to temple took out mobile kit, my beg and after removing shoes the kind of relaxation I felt it same as taking out shoes after 20 KM marathon run. So I did meditation for almost 20 minutes by trusting the priest as priest. Honestly I slept multiple times between meditation itself but later properly took relaxed posture and support of the wall, took a nap as still it was raining. The moment I woke up I realized half an hour went away. I felt fresh again the same way as I felt after waking up today morning by this time rain also stop and my all belonging were safe. I fixed everything to bicycle and started again.

Sweet Blessing

There a lot people came and talked while this ride. This time a boy who was also on bicyle and coming from school started riding with me and asked question. He didn't know english much and I didn't know Tamil much even we had very beautiful talk, he shared his dream and I observed the gladiator in his eyes. Later I met two brothers one was nearly 13 years and other 17 years who was having exams coming next day and you don't believe these two kids give me company till the end of their village and after sincerely said bye and went back to their home. There lot of sweet thing I witness today, would have been missed If I didn't set mind to do this trip. 

Mountain Riding Begins 

Now it is 5:00 PM mountain riding begins now and I just reached at the bottom of Yelagiri hills. Still Sun lights was there and I was riding with more energy as mountain climbing started. My water bottle was filled with Raagi Malt and just before starting I had two sips to make my throat not dry. Now I rode 10 KM and damn horrible now as it started getting sunset. I have to increase speed and need to make sure to reach alive on top. Now after each 1 KM pedaling, it was making my heart ignite and giving me sensation like moving a weight which is 5 times bigger then me. I was taking some sip of Raagi Malt and again continuing to top. 

                                  

Now it became entirely dark this is not suggestible to do riding in dark specially on mountain or forest. I switched on my front light as well back light and continued riding. If I get exhausted I will walk and once I regain my normal breath I continue pedaling. I was not much bothering for puncture or anything else just pedaling as it gets very difficult to fix puncture at this time.

Fortunately I reached 😊and I can see resorts started for Yelagiri. I went in one very beautiful but damn expensive resort but my main intention at this time to charge my mobile little bit and have some glass of water. After this I took out my mobile from charging thanked the person for generosity. As I came to my Bicycle I see tyre got puncture and I was so thankful as this didn't happen while riding in dark.

Now I went to one resort and it have very nice restaurant too I went inside resort, Prasaad was the person who met me first at Nigress Inn damn cool from inside. I checked their price on Oyo it was nearly 2.5 K for one night and approx same was told to me. Once they knew I came from Bangalore on Bicycle they allotted me a beautiful room at 1 K price 😃. Immediately I went for bath my body was freaking I was not in the position to lift my leg up and one tip while going for such big ride don't wear anything inside your cushion bicycle track else you have to bear it 😛. 

By the time I finished my bath Prasaad came with very nice dinner I felt like a VIP guest, he served very nicely and with lot of food much enough to serve three people. I took food and thanked to all the blessing I received on whatsapp. In night took turmeric milk definitely suggestion from Mom 😚  and had very nice sleep. 

Must to Take:

Puncture Kit, Multi Tool Bicycle

First Aid

Water bottle

Mobile Stand

Carrier for backpack

Adequate Cash but avoid expensive things

Dry Fruits and nuts

Must to Take a Note:

Drinks water every 20 KM or by 1- 1:30 hours

Have Tinder Coconut, Butter mils, good if you get Raagi Malt but avoid Sugar Cane will make you more thirsty

Have Salad or something light avoid heavy meals.

In Scorching day have water every half an hour while continuous riding.

If feeling unconscious took brake immediately.

Be alert, stay suspicious from all whom you meet.

Stay Alive ✌
