Is it OK to DISAGREE with The Boss ?

Leaders who don't listen will eventually be surrounded by people who have nothing to say - Andy Stanley

Recently, I have come across a beautiful article "EVERY WORKPLACE SHOULD TRAIN EMPLOYEES TO DISAGREE WITH THE BOSS – HERE’S WHY". I am presenting the extract of the article below for your kind reference. 

"The worst accident in the history of aviation happened on the Spanish Island of Tenerife on March 27 1977 when a KLM 747 taking off crashed into a Pan Am 747 that was still on the runway.

A long chain of events led up to the crash, but one of the major causes was that the captain of the KLM flight chose to ignore a crucial warning from his co-workers in the cockpit.

As a result, less experienced flight crew members were encouraged to challenge their captains when they believed something was not correct, and captains were instructed to listen to their crew and evaluate all decisions in light of crew concerns"

Being a Project Manager in a renowned IT company, I always think that I am on the top of the world. However, the KLM lesson have completely changed my perception about listening to my subordinates. 

After reading this article, I have started listening to my subordinates, not only about the early warnings but also about the solutions given by them when we face a problem. I am pleasantly surprised, by the simple solutions given by them for the complex problems. 

Whenever we face a problem I ask my subordinate "Do you have any better solution to solve the existing problem ?". If the solution given by my subordinate is better than the one that is in my mind, I ask him to go ahead and implement it immediately.    

Our top management still thinks that I am brilliant in problem solving and making good decisions. However, I will open a secret, please don't tell to anyone, especially my top management that, I just patiently listen to my subordinates and implements the best solutions given my them. 

Even though you are Boss, it is not mandatory that all of your decisions will be right. It is our human nature to make mistakes, but what define us, is how we correct them quickly and doesn't repeat the same mistake. 

Listening to your subordinates will help to create a happy workplace, where they feel valued.By the end of the day, it is not only the salary that motivates the employees. 

Next time, when you face a complex problem in your project, just listen. You don't want to make your brain work overtime, to solve all the problems in your project.

Inside the mind of a woman

“The great question that has never been answered, and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is ‘What does a woman want? - Sigmund Freud"

Most of the man think that Woman wants Diamonds, Platinum, Lipstick, Eye liner, Nail Polish, etc to make her happy. However, in the contrary you can make your queen happy without spending a single penny. 

Below is the extract from the book "Confessions of a Software Techie" written by Ramakrishna Reddy. I bow to the author for writing this brilliant book. It is a must read for everyone. 

What does Woman want ?

• She wants importance and expects you to have her as the first priority in your life. 
• She wants attention and will go to any lengths to get it if you don’t give it. 
• She wants to talk and expects you to listen with undivided attention. 
• She wants to share problems but does not want your solutions. 
• She wants surprises and gifts though not necessarily expensive ones. 
• She wants appreciation. 
• She wants to be pampered a lot. 
• She wants you to make her feel awesome in bed. 
• She wants you to support her when someone calls out her mistake. 
• She wants you to say sorry even though it was her fault. 
• She wants you to be by her side so that she will feel secure. 
• She wants you to love her like crazy. 
• She wants you to respect her for who she is and what she likes. 
• She wants you to protect her dignity against any odds.

Sakthi's – First Birthday Party Gift (Happily Married Series)

24-Mar 2019 | 5.30 PM | Sweet Home

My wife was busy getting ready for Sakthi’s first birthday party, which was invited by distant colleague Hari. In our company, Hari is working in fourth floor and I am working in third floor. We have worked together in the same project before a decade and we meet rarely on the sixth floor cafeteria and exchange smiles. During one such casual talk in the cafeteria last week, Hari have invited me for Sakthi’s first Birthday party, which I accepted gleefully.  

I was still sitting in the hall in the chair with my Jockey shorts and USPA Yellow T-shirt enjoying the prime video American Television series “The Mentalist”. Patrick Jane, the hero of the series solves the serious crimes by using his amazing skills of observation. I liked this series as it gives my brain some workout. On a lighter note, I personally don’t recommend to watch this series, if you have a weak heart as some scenes might be disturbing. 

My wife shouted from the bedroom "Whether the birthday baby is a Boy or Girl?" 

"Birthday baby name is Sakthi. It must be boy" I said using my Mentalist skills.  

"Which Birthday?"

"First" I replied still trying to solve the mystery in the serial. 

“Whether Sakthi will be thin or Fat?”

Irritated by her continuous series of question while I am watching the series, I asked "I know about his son only last week, and honestly I don’t know. Why are you asking all these questions?"

She replied softly "I need to select the gift accordingly for the Birthday party". 

I never thought about Birthday Gift anytime. For me going in the Bangalore traffic on a weekend and giving four hours of our valuable time is the best gift that we can give to our beloved family and friends. Time is more valuable and precious than anything else in the world. However, my wife won’t agree for this philosophy, as she is from Venus. 

She have kept a new Yellow color and Red color boy dress on top of the bed and asked "Which one we can give as gift ?" 

As I like Yellow I said "We can give Yellow".

She replied "I am confused until now, however it is clear that we can give red" 

Yes, you read it right she have selected red. She have the good habit of selecting the color, which I don't select. 

"It is 6.25 PM and you haven't changed your dress still" my wife gave me a warning still beautifying herself infront of the mirror.

"Darling, I will be ready within 5 minutes, the time starts now" I replied. 

"Let's see" she replied, carefully applying the eye liner around the contours of the eyes. 

I switched off the TV and walked to our bedroom and opened my wardrobe. I have selected the dark blue party wear shirt and brown cotton Chinos and changed my dress and combed my hair in a jiffy. Yes, I got ready within 4 minutes, before she finished beautifying her eyes. 

I picked the car key and told my son "Krish, Let's go and take the car from the parking" 

"Let's go. Boys are always first" he said with his innocent smile. 

I have taken the car out of our Apartment and switched on the Audio player. I have changed the folder to Srimad Bhagavadham, Spiritual discourse by Velukkudi Krishnan. Velkuddi Krishnan was in full form explaining the past times of Lord Rama. He was explaining about how Sita Devi have taken decision to go with Lord Rama leaving the palace and all luxuries. My wife have some of the attributes of Sita. If you give my wife the option of selecting luxury or my presence, with no doubt, she will select my presence for sure. 

Within couple of minutes my wife have boarded the car and occupied the front seat. He picked my son from the back seat and made him sit on her lap. I started my journey hearing the beautiful Spiritual discourse. 

"Shall I change to some songs?" my wife kick-started the conversation.

Even if I tell No, she will change it for sure. I don’t know still why she asks every time, as if she is going to listen to me.

"Sure. Please go ahead" I replied with a fake smile on my face. 

Soon her favorite song "Kadhaalada” from the movie Vivegam filled the air inside our car and she said "I would like to dedicate this song to you" with a smile popped up on her face. 

"Darling, You are the best wife" I replied 

24-Mar 2019 | 7.00 PM | Bhagini Suites Marathahalli

We reached the Bhagini Suites, Marathahalli, ontime and parked our car. In the Reception a Bulletin board Welcomed us "Sakthi Birthday Party at fifth floor” 

Inside the lift my wife said "It is the first time in the history, we have reached the Birthday party on time in Bangalore" 

I nodded my head gently with a victorious smile. 

As soon as we stepped out of the lift, I have seen Barbie girl cutout have been kept all over the party hall as part of Birthday party decoration. My mentalist brain started processing immediately, why Barbie girl cutout ? It is usually Chota Bheem or Little Krishna cutout should be kept for baby boy. I suddenly remembered my college days in Krishnan Kovil, Tamil Nadu where our college friends used to keep the actresses photos sticked all over the walls in their rooms. Is it something like this ? But Sakthi is just one year old and Hari won’t do it for sure. 

Hari was waiting in the entrance of the party hall with one year old baby boy and welcomed us with his trademark smile. Even after seeing Hari with a baby boy, my mentalistic brain was not able to connect the dots as something is missing. I asked my wife and son to take a comfortable seat in the last row and I went straight to Syed, Hari’s Lunch mate in our company.  

“Syed, How are you ?” 

“Fine, Prem. Nice to meet you” Syed replied. 

Without wasting time, I went directly to the question. 

“Is Sakthi, boy or girl ?” I asked

“Prem, Sakthi is girl” he replied with a heartful smile. 

“Oops” 

“Prem, What happened?” he asked with a concern. 

“Syed, I have brought boy dress as gift, thinking that Sakthi is boy”

Unable to control his emotions, He burst out laughing. 

“Bro, please keep it as a secret” I requested him.  

“Sure. I promise, I won't tell anyone”

Syed showed me Hari's wife, who was holding a One year old baby girl wearing a pink dress. I turned my face toward's Hari, and he was handing over the baby boy to his Younger sister. Immediately I rushed to my wife and explained the complete story. 

“What about Birthday gift, we have brought boy dress? She asked raising her eyebrows. 

“I am going out to buy a new gift. Please take care of our son” I replied. 

“Okay. Please come back soon” she requested. 

Luckily, More mega store was nearby and I bought one Pink teddy bear and rushed back to the Party hall. By the time I reached the venue it was around 8.30 PM and cake cutting was over and photo session was in progress. Once again I am late for the Birthday party. I picked my wife and son and stood in the line for the photo shoot as if nothing have happened. After the photo shoot we had a wonderful feast for our tummy.

24-Mar 2019 | 9.30 PM | Zen in the Maruti Zen 

We had left the venue in my car, after bidding bye to all our fellow friends and Hari in the party hall. 

I have purposefully set the Hare Kirshna Hare Rama Kirtan by Srila Prabhupad in my car. It is the one, which I play to calm my mind and bring the focus back. Sensing the situation, my wife have never compelled me to change the music. Yes, it is these little things that makes her more beautiful.

“How you do anything, is how you do everything” my wife said. 

I silently acknowledge her with a defeated smile.

“Have you watched Air Crash Investigation in National Geographic Channel ?” 

“Yes, I have watched it” I replied 

“It is a very small mistake that is done by someone that costs hundreds of life. Do you know ?”

“Yes, you are right. I remember one such incident, in which the Flight service person will over tight the screw in the tail of the flight during regular maintenance activity, which will give a small crack that is invisible to the human eyes, that will bring down the flight”

“It's not a mistake to make a mistake but it is a mistake to repeat the same mistake” she continued taking advantage of the situation.

“I surrender, please forgive”  I requested her 

“The best apology is the changed behavior” my wife said with her beautiful smile. 

Every one of us do lots of mistake in our life, however the successful person consider the mistake as learning and move on. Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad once said "Don't waste a good mistake… Learn from it".

Amazon Kindle – You are my Best Friend

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers - Charles William Eliot 

Being a bookworm, I used to carry a minimum of 3 books in different categories in my bag wherever I go. Health, Spirituality, Leadership, Self Help, Comedy, Biographies and Fiction are my special areas of interest. I don’t like reading books, that don’t add any value to my life. 

In the middle of my twenties, my life have taken a positive U-turn after reading the book "Alpha Meditation" by my beloved master Mr.Nagore Rumi. It have completely changed my perception about life. I started becoming more positive and I have found my purpose and meaning in my life. Yes, even a single word or sentence in a book can have a major positive impact in your life. 

[Click on the Image above to buy the book in Amazon ]

Based on the recommendation from my friend Siva, I became a Kindle Unlimited Subscriber this January 2019. Reading books in Amazon Kindle is as easy as, I don’t want to carry the physical book anymore. It made my reading habit an addiction. Yes, I can read any books from their rich database of 1.5+ million books anytime, anywhere and anyplace in my Dell laptop or LG G7 Smartphone or Samsung Tablet. 

How I select the books that I read ? 
Step-1 : I read the Amazon customer reviews and Goodreads customer reviews.
Step-2 : Download the book sample in Amazon Kindle and check whether the author have enough talent to inspire me. 
Step-3 : Based on the quality of the sample, if the book is eligible for Kindle Unlimited, I borrow the book with no time as the book is almost Free of cost.    If the book is not in Kindle Unlimited, still I buy the Kindle Edition with a discounted price when compared it to the paperback. 

How do I find time to read books ? 
If it is important to you, you will find time. Telling I don’t have time, is just a lame excuse. I purposefully commute in BMTC Volvo bus to office daily. Thanks to huge Bangalore traffic, I get a minimum of 90 minutes daily for reading books. Moreover, if I am struck up in the middle of a boring meeting, I open Kindle in my Dell Laptop and start reading a good book. I trust that you won't tell it to my Boss.

Some of my friends compliment me that, I radiate positive energy wherever I go. Today, I reveal the secret to you that, it is Meditation and good books that charges me daily with positive energy. 

If you cultivate the habit of reading good books and practicing meditation to your children, I promise that their future is in safe hands. Your children will be Divinely guided and protected by the enlightened masters and Universe. 

Amazon Kindle is my best friend ? Who is your best friend ?

“The Big Switch” - Book Review

In future, if I quit my software engineer job and become a successful author, with no doubt I can confidently tell that the book “The Big Switch” will be one of the reasons for it.

I am happy to see an Inspiring Indian novel, that tops the Amazon Best seller list, beating it romantic counterparts. I could sense a paradigm shift in the readers taste.  

[Click on the above image to buy this book in Amazon]

The Big Switch is a story about Keith, a young 24 years old software engineer, who realizes that the Software is not his plate of Biryani. How long we will tell 'It is not his cup of tea' ? So, let's think big and upgrade to Biryani from now-onwards. 

To cut the long story short, Keith will realize that he have landed in a wrong career and dares to quit his Software Job and walks in the path of his dreams.

Undoubtedly, John Thomas have hit a maiden century with this debut novel “The Big Switch - It’s Never Too Late”.  

Positive’s :

• Simple Language.
• Best story telling.
• Fast paced.
• Filled with humor.
• Inspiring with lots of Gyan.
• Gives a clear direction for everyone to follow the heart and not a lucrative career.

Negative’s :

• Optimistic person sees only positive in other’s. I am an Optimistic person.

Quotes to Remember :
"The destination is just an illusion. It is the journey that matters"

"Many times, we fail to see the rewards that life showers on us because we are too busy worrying about the hardships"

"Follow your heart. It knows where your treasure is, even when you don’t. And trust me, it will move mountains to take you there"

One more good thing about this story is that it ends in a positive note, which inspires the readers to walk in their dreams. If Keith, the Hero of the novel can do it, anyone can do it. However, we need to have faith on our self and patience. 

I strongly recommend every one of you read this novel once, as it have lots of inspiring messages sprinkled all over the book.

I have already started my ground work for making the Big Switch. What about You ?

Have you Boarded the Right Bus ?

21-Mar-2019 | 10.48 PM | Prestige Business Park Bangalore 

It was a tiring and a very busy day with full of meetings and conference calls. I have boarded my office cab and would like to refresh my mind by reading good motivating article. Yes, even Napolean Bonaparte used to relax himself, by reading good books in the middle of war. 

I have opened the PI Talkies article "Not Enjoying The Ride ? Get Off!" written by Prakash Iyer in Business world. It has a tagline "Too many of us spend all our lives in jobs we hate". I really liked the tagline, as it exactly matched most of our current situation.  

I have given the extract of the article below for your kind reference, as it have a good lesson for all of us, who have boarded the wrong bus.

"Too many of us spend all our lives in jobs we hate. We hate every minute of it, we complain, we show our bitterness, it affects our performance and yet we don’t act to change things. We lack the courage to call it quits. We hesitate to get off the bus. 

There is also a flip side to this − there are many amongst us who board the wrong bus. But once inside, we start enjoying the comfortable pushback seats, the air- conditioning, the personal entertainment system and the wonderful companion in the next seat. We push away the recurring thought that we are on the wrong bus, headed to a place we do not want to go to. We wonder what people would say if we were to leave a comfortable air-conditioned bus and move to a rickety non air- conditioned one. And so we stay put. 

Don’t let that happen to you. It is better to be on a rickety bus that’s headed to the right place than to ride comfortably − on the wrong bus! Life is too short to be wasted doing things you don’t enjoy. Doing what you enjoy offers you your best chance of success. It also gives you the strength to overcome all odds."

21-Mar-2019 | 11.22 PM | Sweet Home

I was totally exhausted by the time I reached home. On seeing me entering the home, my son Krish jumped with joy and ran towards me with full of energy and enthusiasm singing "Daddy Ayaa, Daddy Ayaa" rhythmically imitating the Dhobi Ayaa Dhobi Ayaa - Famous Hindi Rhyme. 

My wife complained me that "Krish is running and playing from the time he came from the play school at 1.00 PM"

I said raising my voice "Kids will be like that only. Please stop your Siva Purana, I am already tired"

My wife name is Sivasankari, hope now you understand why I asked her to stop Siva Purana. All the complaints that she tells will be categorized by me as Siva Purana. 

I am surprised by my son Krish's high levels of energy even at night. I have changed my dress and silently went to bed to take some good rest. 

Lying on the bed, I was still thinking about "Why my Son is energetic and I am lethargic?". I have posted this question to my subconcious mind and went to sleep. It is believed that Subconcious mind is very active in the trance state. All the great inventions like Radium are invented during this trance state. Within couple of seconds, I got the answer in a flash "Your son is doing all day that fills his soul, however you are doing all day that fills your pocket. So start doing something that fills your soul". 

22-Mar-2019 | 8.03 AM | KR Puram Railway Station

I have boarded the BMTC Volvo bus to Prestige Business Park and occupied a comfortable window seat. Within couple of minutes, a beautiful IT girl with a fair complexion occupied the seat next to me. She had a cute smile on her face. She seems to be in her twenties. She was wearing a Yellow T-shirt. Her blue denim jeans and the black jacket complemented her shirt beautifully.

She had a perfect figure to be a model. I thought to myself, She might be earning in millions, if she have selected modelling as her career and wondered why she have selected IT industry instead. She have taken the book "The Lost Symbol" written by Dan Brown and started reading it. I thought to myself 'Reading Dan Brown novels have become a fashion symbol now-a-days'. 

I started writing the article about my last night Subconcious experience in my LG G7 Smartphone. I have sculpted each and every word and was deep into a Alpha state while writing the article and slowly I forgot the presence of the beautiful girl sitting next to me. When, I am still busy writing and editing the article, I heard the conductor voice shouting "Prestige Business park stop, Banni Sir Bega" (Come Fast Sir). I have checked the time in the watch and it was around 9.07 AM. I was so involved in my writing that one hour have passed like a blink of the eye. 

Einstein once quoted “When a pretty girl sits on your lap for an hour, it seems like a minute. When you sit on a hot stove for a minute it seems like an hour”.

In my case, even though there is pretty girl, who was sitting next to me, I was so involved in my writing, for which an hour seems like a minute. It showed that, I have more interest in writing than anything else in this world. I have felt a sense of contentment, that fills my soul while writing the article.  

While standing near the door, I have turned my face towards the beautiful girl to thank her mentally, for enlightening me, to discover my passion for writing. However, she was still lost in reading "The Lost Symbol" novel and in her Yellow T-Shirt it was written "It's never too late to follow your dreams". I smiled to myself understanding the truth in the quote. 

Eureka, I have found my bus (Becoming an Author) that I need to board while deboarding the BMTC Volvo bus. Have you boarded the right bus ? If not, it is never too late.

SoulTrends - MBPT Program Experience

I have attended the Meditation based Personal Development (MBPT) program on 2-Mar-2019 and 3-Mar-2019 at SoulTrends, HSR Layout, Bangalore. Dr.Sai Sagar who was working as a Vice President at CTS was our faculty for the program. 

During the two days program the importance and impact of meditation was taught. During the program, Buddha’s Anapanasati meditation, watching our own breath is taught.

How much time to meditate ?

One minute per year of your age. Suppose, if a person’s age is 27 years, he need to meditate for 27 minutes per day.

What is the best time to meditate ?

Anytime. Anyplace. Anywhere. When you are awake and doesn't involve your conscious attention. 

How long to meditate ?

Till thought free state is achieved and maintained.

I have got two important leanings from this program which I would like to present it in the below article.

Lesson-1: When we get stressed, survival mode will be activated in the brain, it induces adrenaline in our body. Since we are not running daily, as in olden days for survival, the unused adrenaline, hardens the muscles and creates pain typically shoulder pain, neck and back pain etc. However meditation reduces anxiety and stress and hence there will be no excess adrenaline secretion in our body.

Lesson-2: All human beings are born with five important abilities namely Innate intelligence, Creativity, Concentration, Self-confidence and Contentment / Gratitude.Our education system, instead of honing these abilities, focuses mainly on money making knowledge and skills. It is the right time to unlearn those knowledge which we have learnt for profession. Consistent meditation would help to enhance our five default abilities. 

What is PREMA ? 

1. Positive emotion & Health

2. Relationship

3. Engagement

4. Meaning or purpose

5. Accomplishment

What shapes our thoughts ( Five things) ? 

1. Expectation

    - from yourself

    - from others

    - from situations and

    - from things

2. Attachment / Involvement

 - to people, things

 - to thoughts, ideologies

 - love with ownership

 - to right and wrong

3. Complex (Inferior / Superior)

 - comparison

 - judgement

 - non acceptance

 - lack of skill, confidence etc

4. Agitation

 - worries about future

 - regret about past

 - fear of injury, death

 - thinking for others

5. Outside-in thinking

 - will be happy

 - will be secured

 - will be fulfilled

 - will be peaceful

 - will be better

 - will be OK... When I Get.

Amazon Prime - 'God Friended Me' Review

28-Feb-2019 | WhatsApp

Siva have recommended us to watch Amazon Prime series "God Friended Me"
in our 'Lunch & Herbal Tea Chats' WhatsAPP group. Siva's message reads "Go(o)d Watch. Fully about positivity and destiny. It is like our Baba's tea time preaching". 'Lunch & Herbal Tea Chats' is my company friends WhatsAPP group dedicated to alert the people for Lunch and Tea, who are busy working. However, it also pops up some messages and recommendations based on our hot discussions. I would like to inform my dear readers that the discussions that happens with a hot cup of coffee is called as hot discussions and nothing else as your beautiful mind thinks. 

Lunch and Tea breaks are one of the key motivating factors for me to go office, as we laugh heartily non-stop. I strongly believe that "A Good laugh and a Cup of Herbal tea are the best cures for anything".

If you are wondering who is the Baba in the above message, it is none other than me, The Happy Zen. Yes, I give lots of free Gyan sessions about Positivity and Spirituality to my fellow colleagues during Lunch and Tea time. 

If you notice our WhatsAPP group in the above image, I have purposefully set the group image as Fruits and I have changed the group name to Herbal Tea.You should not be surprised, if my friends call me as Baba Premdev.

I want be become a Meditational and Motivational speaker like Suki Sivam, Mr.Nagore Rumi,Tony Robbins, Jim Rohn, Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy, etc after achieving my financial freedom. So I utilize the Lunch and Tea time as a Golden opportunity to practice my speech with my friends. I usually start my speech by telling them that 'You are so lucky that you are getting all my Gyan free of cost, in future you need to listen my Gyan only by buying the ticket in bookmyshow for a heavy price'. If I become a successful speaker in future, I owe them a lot for lending their ears patiently to all the inspiring stories that I tell. 

However Siva doesn't want me to become a Motivational Speaker, instead he wants me to become a Baba and he would like to join my Ashram in future. I still don't know his good intentions for asking me to become a Baba, if you know, please let me know the reason in the below comment. I can think about this option also, if it is fruitful based on your feedback.  

Now let's come to our original story of "God Friended me" recommendations by Siva. As I am proud member of FOLK ( Friend of Lord Krishna) community, the title "God Friended Me" have got my immediate attention. Even though I am not a big fan of English serials, I would like to give it a try as there is God in the title name and Siva recommended it. Yes, me and Siva fights a lot about God. I support God's existence, whereas he questions God's existence. Most of the time, the conversation ends without any conclusion, as God can only be experienced and not to be explained.  

After watching the first episode of "God Friended me", I am spellbound . I thought to myself "Does such good serials with positive plots also exists in this Kali Yuga. Hari Bol ?". I felt as if it is God, who have sent His message through siva to watch this serial. As Paulo Coelho once said 'Nothing in this world happens by chance'.

Each and every episode have a strong positive message to everyone of us. If you would like me to summaries the plot in every episode in a single line, "A small act of kindness can make a big difference in someone's life". It have given me a clear blue print about my mission on earth.

I felt as if the Hero Miles, is the reflection of my character in most of the scenes. Yes, he tries his BEST to do some positive impact in someone's life. He runs a podcast "The Millennial Prophet" likes me who runs a blog "The Happy Zen". Being an atheist, Miles talks in his podcast that God doesn't exists, however I write in my blog that God doesn't exist for the people who doesn't believe. He struggles a lot to increase his listeners for his podcast. However I doesn't care who reads my blog as I just want to transfer my thoughts to my blog so that my head disk is free. 

A scientific study says that a person have approximately sixty thousand thoughts per day. In nutshell, less thoughts will have more happiness and peace of mind. You too can start Journaling in a blog or dairy, that will keep you calm and relaxed.Now you might know the answer why I write blog even though there is no big audience. However, I am really grateful for all the Divine souls,  who spend their valuable time in reading my blogs and appreciate my work. 

I strongly believe that "You are what you see, hear and speak most of the time". So, only I stopped watching news before seven years. You can read more about my experience Switch OFF News and Switch ON Life. However, watching the "God Friended me" life transforming episodes will surely make a positive impact in your life. Please be informed that I am not responsible, if you step out of your home to help someone after watching these episodes. 

God have sent a Friend request to you through me. Accepting or Rejecting His request is in your hands. God Friended Me. What about you ?
