Understanding "human" aspects in using the Internet.

Internet is truly an infrastructure for the information age. As one of the major technology medium, Internet has been major areas of research. It is a medium of effective communications, flexible in cost and features, not specific piece of software or hardware and is not a single network but group of globally collection either big or small logical connected networks. It is not owned by any organization or any individual or any government,corporation or university. Internet is not the same everywhere. The worldwide Internet population is growing and rapid pace. Number of humans getting access to the information, learning, and desire of going online is booming like never before. From the developed countries to developing countries As late 1988, only few countries were connected to Internet. Now, According to the 2004 CIA World Factbook, over 50 countries have at least one million humans using Internet.


One of the fascinating thing about Internet is that it comes with outstanding tools for the usage in regards to recreation, education, society and much more. Current estimated statistics has shown that more than 63 million humans using Internet in homes and the importance of Internet in day to day activities are growing. There is almost nothing which cannot be accomplished from the comfort zone of home, paying bills, research work, buying,selling, updating, uploading, downloading, shopping and most importantly communicating with your family and friends half way across the world. Together with the positive growth, its negative effects are growing too.



According to U.S. Department of Justice, Internet is an anonymous and effective way for many predators to find and groom children for illegal activities. The fear of using internet is further amplified by social disintegration which could be result of such an activities. The distance has been shortened from family, friends and from seeking information which can be seen as the replacement of very important day to day interactions. Boundaries of time, distance and identity are broken from the transfer of simple application like e-mail to complex world of virtual communities. Although email are used conveniently and humans using it has become overwhelming with number one priority, it can sometime cause great problems with Junk, Spams and theft. Privacy and Security are major concern for understanding behavior of humans in Internet.


With the novelty and convenience of Internet, it has lulled humans with the sense of dependency to greater extent. Persistent desire to go on the Internet, Play games online, visit restricted web contents, chatting longer than expected, do shopping more than the conversation with husband are all some of the symptoms of negative behaviors in Internet; which shows that future of communication is going towards the more on understanding “human aspects” of using Internet.

Monday mania

Today finally we landed up in the Helsinki from the ferry. It was kind of different experience. Every body was packing their bags to leave and we were getting ready to leave for the new journey of their own life.

Scalds finally ended up for me and now I am here in the Helsinki railway central station thinking what would be the next step now. I have to go back to Lappeenranta and start doing the things that I have left behind. It was a nice journey for a week and it really gave some meaning to the journey. I do not know what I learned but I know there were many things to be taken back home and share with the friends and family.

As today is Monday and I left from Lappeenranta on Monday. I know it is boring to go back to the same place and do the same stuffs you were doing but I think it is not boring in a sense; Lappeenranta is cool place to be.
I enjoyed the sessions in the conference but at the same time I think I missed many of the things that are some how essential for me like- peace and being silent in the lonely place.

I do not know it’s my mind or what but that is always letting me know that I needs a constantly somewhere in some place lonely or just live in isolation.
Today as it is Monday and it always is scary for me, I do not know what will be in store for me. Let us see….

Nature Suckers and Scalds

It is quite amazing to feel the experience of finally sitting in the ferry just near the window and see the water being flowing around it. While I am writing this article, I am sitting in good room near the window and watching from the window the water in the sea going far from me and the feelings of ferry going forward.
As every event has an end, this event Scalds 2008 has finally come to an end. It is really difficult to see the people who we met some 5-6 days ago as complete strangers and right now, they seems as if we had a very good relationship with all of these delegates in the conference.
I am rally impressed by the way SCALD 2008 conference was held. It was yesterday official dinner party which was something unique to see because I have never ever been to such official dinner party in the Scandvia. It was funny for me in the sense, I did not brought my official suit but I asked my room mate for a help and he stood up and so easily managed to find me the suit. I learned the lesion from that, especially when there is official parties please do wear the nice suit or do not forget to take one.
The relationship between the ferry and me is nothing, it is just like a transportation or the way to travel but thinking now, I guess it is not just only the transportation but simply your care taker or mother for example. It takes care of you from the moment you are in the ferry and take you to your final destination at the end. It shows you what to do and what to enjoy, it gives you an impression that look, I have long way to go, look I am finding the way through this deep ocean, Every bit of the moment that I am making in this huge ocean is one step of the victory which for me and to you as well.
I will take you to your destination and every moment I am fighting for it. Similarly, in our lives too we have to fight every bit not with the ocean but with our own inner strength to make the vision of reaching to the destination into reality.
Yesterday, we have our home group Roll calls, the roll calls are basically a kind of shout which a specific home group make. We had a totally different roll call besides anybody else. It was amazing… The name of the group was one of my creations in the home group. I thought it in the bus while we were travelling to the Fiskeboda, Sweden.
I really felt it good in a sense, every body agreed on what I thought about the Name and they appreciated the name too. It was something funny but I tried to give some meaning to why? This particular name and not other. The name was- “Nature Suckers”.
How do I come up with this name? There are many other questions beside that too, Nature is the fundamental thing we are quite aware of, we learn right from our childhood about the Nature and its relevance. It has loads of stuff to give to us instead it takes all our bad stuffs very easily. Nature and women can be correlated. Nature and men can also be correlated.
Since we were saying the numbers from 1 to 10 in 10 different languages, I thought well let us break down the number separately suppose “1” and “0”. The whole world is combination of “1” and “0”. In computers there are only zeros and ones. In electricity there is only on and off and in real world we can think of women as 0 and men as 1. So some how we all are part of Nature in some ways and we are sucking it in different manners.
Today we can see the biggest problems we are facing such as global warming, flood, volcano eruption, and many more it is because we are sucking Natures and we are not aware of it. We cannot stop sucking it but some how we can bring awareness into it and try to avoid it as far as possible.
The time was there, to tell why the name was chosen as the “Nature Suckers” to all the delegates present in the conference. There were around 100 of them. I was feeling a little nervous but slowly I managed to tell the stories thanks to my home group again.
It was nice experience to be the part of conference and to gain loads of thing from it. Besides that “Finland” won the award of the “Best delegates in Scalds 2008 conference” for the active participation and presence in all the sessions, events and meetings. I was proud to be the part of Finland and representing it.

Scalds 2008 Conference continues...

Scalds conference is still going on with loads of excitment and lots of fun stuffs. We all are really enjoying all the session and all the activity that has been given to us. Today is the second last day of the conference and I am really worried to loose many of the good friends that I make during the conferences.

From sweet Icelandic girl to the energetic Noregian guy, from beautiful and sexy chair of Romania to the country I am representing Finland Member commitee president. It is so interesting that we group together from different countries and we have loads of thing in common.

Despite the fact that we belong to different nationalities and we come from different regions we have many things in common. We humans only do the things differently depending upon our circumstance and our mind. I learnt a lot right from the start of the conference.

One good statement that popped up in my mind while I was travelling from the Stockholm to the Fiskeboda was that, " Humans should try to find the similarities in other humans despite they come from other religion, country or culture or any other related background."

Once we find the similarities we will be eliminate the differences in our lives and the difference not only in terms of political, economical and other related barrier but in terms of the many smaller or minor things which will make us solve the bigger problems in our lives.

Yesterday was friday, we grouped together starting from the morning plenary to the good and exciting country time. It was good to know the people with different ideas especially in AIESEC and we were creating all these ideas, what would be good or what would be bad for AIESEC in Finland. What kind of external affairs or external relevenace we can use in terms of the AIESEC in Finland.

Which options fits good and we were later filtering these ideas into more concrete ideas to initiate the project or some work for making lives of people around the AIESEC better.

It is important to learn from not only the text books but by the real obeservations. The learning can always vary from the people to the people but I personally belive it is easier for me to obeserve the people around me and try to learn their behavior. It is relatively easy.

Today is the second last day of the conference and I am already feeling as if I will miss or I want this conference for more days. There are people who can dance beautifully, there are AIESECers who can sing with courage and wisedom, there are these bunch of guys who are ready to take out there clothes in the middle of the some 100 people and ready to take the challenge.

It is really getting hot with every step that I am taking in this conference and with every step I personally think there are bigger responsiblities coming up. From great power comes bigger or great responsibilities. It is good to gain the power of "leadership" but at the same time, there are more responsiblities piling up every seconds.

Although I cannot change the entire world but I would certainly or can really take the one step which can make to find the similarities in the differentiated world to come closer and solve the bigger problems in easier ways.

I appreciate every bit of these conference and I am really thank full to those who invited me and those who I mingled or talked or those who inspired me in some way. I am thank full to be here.

Looking forward to it for more out of the ore inside AIESEC...

Scald-2008

Couple of days ago, I came into the Scalds 2008, in Sweden. Right now at the present I am in Fiskoboda the name of the place in sweden. It is really getting exciting with every day. The day before that is on the 6th of August, 2008. The day started with the Conference in the expressive mood however, it was not as it should have been or as we might have expected.

I was representing the Finland. We all were invited for this conference from the different countries. Scandevia together with other countries were invited for the conference. The conference has loads of practical skill training, grouping together, networking and having loads of skill session to learn, educate, discuss and of-course party and have fun in the conference.

The entire things is about the organization called AIESEC. The theme for the conference was "Leadership development". The theme was highly big topic and I guess, this theme has loads of delegate thinking how a person will gain leadership ideas and so on.

What I personally belive was there were really some sucking plenary and boring early morning discussion as of now. Right now I am having this stupid discussion about something which is irrevelant. By the time every body is shouting in this hall I thought of something esle and start to blog about it.

How would some one hear properly when every body is talking in the room ? This is really boring part of the early morning sessions. One of the good thing we learned was "Home group". The home group has different nationalities and one leader leading his way to the home group.

In this home group, we get to know each other together with that we get to play different practical skills. There are some games related with the leadership skills. Yesterday, when I started my day it was really boring but later when we started the session with the home group, it all flied.

I felt it good and my mood was really getting better with the day progressing and with the day in the home group. Most of the times in AIESEC there is late night parties with some theme. Two parties has been finished with the first theme belonging to Ice age and the second with PinaCola.

Some couple of more days to go and not expecting anything out of this conference simply because I do not expect anything in life too. How can some one ask me to expect something from a conference or any event.

Most important things in life is knowing people, sharing and understanding what they want to achieve in life and so on.

What makes me suffer

Rabbi Moshe de Sassov “True love is that which manages to avoid unnecessary suffering.”

The quote is beautifully said and nicely written. There are two elements in the quote first is “love” and second is “true love”. When you have two different things in a quote that means that needs to be compared. There is comparison between the love and true love. How can a person determine what is “love” and what is “true love” ? To understand the difference one has to first understand what love is.

When would you say- that a person is speaking what he is knowing or what he has experienced or what he has felt ? I do not agree, that there is any difference between any love or true love or false love or whatever. There is only one thing and that is “love”. When you are putting other words in front of it, or besides it then you are differentiating the words with others.

A love is love, either it is true or false. A love can not be true or false. A love is pure and the purity of the love cannot be measure. Either it is the love of parents to their children or it is the love of husband towards his wife, or it is the love of animals. Love is same everywhere.

Suffering cannot be manged. Suffering is that what we possess, that what we think and the way we think about anything. Suffering is present, it is vital for the existence. One has to understand how one takes it. Do you take “suffering” as one of the disease ? If you are taking suffering as the disease, then please think once again because disease in your body can go, it will one day vanish from your body but the suffering will not go until you are existing in this earth, until you are living in the present.

Can you find the love from the suffering ? If you cannot see the love from the suffering how can you tell what is true love ? How can you determine that suffering do not have love ? “In pain, there is pleasure associated”. or rather, I would say-”Pain contains the pleasure”. One has to feel the pain to feel the pleasure. One has to feel the suffering to feel the love from the suffering.

To understand weather you are getting a true love or no love or false love or just simply love you have to remove or take out from you mind the meaning of love. Once you remove all these definition of “what is love” then the remaining in your mind will give you, the proper definition of what is love.

Necessary and unnecessary is associated with humans personal taste. One can find some thing necessary at the same time one does not find anything necessary out of it. Therefore, there is no difference between love. Love cannot be said, “true” or “false”. Love is simply love.

What type of work gives you pleasure?

From Paulo Coelho-
"Question of the week: What type of work gives you pleasure?"

In response to question asked by Paulo Coelho here is what I have to say-



Very good question Paulo,

A question has to be well understood before putting a comment or writing an article or even writing a book about it. A nice and beautiful question is such that it gives loads of lessons in our personal, professional life.

Now, the question is- “what kind of work gives pleasure”. The question has “kind of” which is asking a variety, types or the work or many of the work or different kinds of work. It contains the word called “pleasure”. Now to associate the word such as pleasure with the different kind of the work it is not easy.

A person can do many different kind of work. He can have many different identities. He can be a son, at the same time he can also be father, a humble husband, a worker in some company and so on.

If “kind of” is related with the identities then he has to change is multiple identities depending upon the time and circumstances. But again, if “kind of” is related only with the professional work then it is relatively easier than the previous explanation.

Right from the childhood to the very end of a human study we tend to change our path or destination. We do not know what is our main goal or what are we doing with the present course work in school or present work in the office. We tend to change many of the times the work that we have been doing or the course we have been attending or any social activity we are doing at the moment. To relate with the question asked, I would ask again- Why?

The main answer to this question is that- “realize it for yourself”. The most important thing in life is to understand what do you want. Do you need a money ? Do you need a pleasure ? Do you need a nice car, or big house or some materialistic things ?

The “need” drives us to the destination. The need of something will always demand from us to do something. Therefore, it is important to understand what do you need ?

After understanding for yourself, then you do the work. The work could be anything. But once we start to work we should be able to stick to it. This is the most difficult part. It is difficult because, we get lazy and we do not again want to visit the same office every day. We do not then tend to feel as if we really are finding any pleasure in such work.

While you are working, money is important but above money “determination”, “satisfaction” and “attitude” are more important. These elements will not give you the pleasure but these will motivate you to stick or hang in to the work you have been doing lately.

Work is some how related with search of soul mate. Once we understand what kind of person will be our soul mate and we then put all our effort to maintain the relationship with him or her. Similarly, work can be many but once we match the our needs with the work we have been doing; we then tend to stick with the work in front of us.

Therefore, as we are many and all our thinking is different, our taste is different definitely one will find work A better than work B but it is not the case- the most important aspect is to understand what you need and then match your needs with the work given to you. Once this is done, you will not have to search for the pleasure because it will come automatically.

Lappeenranta city

Now, A place which was chosen by me before coming to Finland for the studies. The place where silence meets the late dawn with orange color all over the sky just near the lake which shows the signs of silence in heart and mind.

It was amazing when I came back from the place which was much more crowded and people all around. I thought I had really made a good decision to come to study in this place called Lappeenranata. A city of beauty and beauty which signs like the early morning sun heating the drop of water in the leaves of trees.

Thousand things in the head to be done and every time there is something new coming up once in a while. Got to do this, got to do that... It is really amazing when you have loads of things piling up at your desk and you do not find yourself being committed to do all.

Lazy Sunday, as it is. Watched a cool movie called "Raise your voice". Amazingly written and nice story. Truly inspirational.

Sipping a cup of coffee and writing this blog about me feels good. I do not know for how long but this moment is mine and truly mine. No body will interefere me, no body will ask me anything, no body will pull my legs or no body will bother me. It is truly amazing place, a city once must visit in a life time.

Outside my windows there are green trees and calm sun light gazing and a smooth breeze blowing. There is no heaven and hell simply because everything is here; just in front of you.

Everything is infront of you, either it is heaven and hell. Maintaing this place requires loads of effort and support from all those who lives in this city. I salute to all those people who take care of the city garden, city parks, city roads and everything else. I truly appreciate their hard work even in cold winter with temperature going below -30 deg. celcius.

Feeling cannot be expressed so easily, it has to be felt. Just come once if you can and feel the experience. I wish I can stay longer than my desires will let me to. Let me be hopeful and hope is all I have.

Have a great weekend !

Assembly continues...

Life is full of good and bad taste. We some times feel very cool and some times every bad but these taste have different feeling attached to it. Some times these brings a load of joy in our heart but some times it bring loads of pain at the same moment.

When you are in the middle of suprises and you do not know what is good or what is bad then it become naturally very difficult to decide what should person should do or rather not do.

When we are making an event with a great idea then surely we are doing a lot of work from it. It demands a lot of hard work to make any event a grand sucess. Last night, I slept my entire night in the place where all others slept with me. Nearly around 5000 people in an Hartwall arena making the event such as Assebly a grand sucess. There are loads of people coming fot his event.


Some are programmers, student, general user, and many more

Assembly in Finland

Assembly has a great meaning in itself. It is the meeting places or some sorts of meeting acquaintances where loads of people join this big event and make it a grand sucess. These people they perform a loads of interesting things by making fine arts, building cool games, playing poker or doing loads of extreme graphic program or even just simply creating a cool web pages.

Being a Microsoft Student Partner has loads of benefit. One we get the VIP acess to the stand and next you are not checked by any securities or any camera do not follow you. You get a cool just in front of the big huge giant screen.

The event is huge sucess every year. All the crazy finns all across the city come and join the this event. All these people are very much interested into the technology stuffs and they make this event a huge sucess. One of the fasicnating thing about the event is that, most of the people are really cool in desingning or making a cool stuffs out of box.

One of the official from the Microsoft just told me that, soon Microsoft is launching one cool Photosynth program for all the users world wide. This photosynth is huge sucess already and it can take a lot of information from anywhere in the image. It can give loads of information, it can not only give the information but also give minor of the information from the picture.

Right now it is around 11:40 pm in the night and I am watching a extreme graphics program that is been displayed in front of the huge screen. These stuffs are very interesting. If you plan to come to finland please do come to visit the Assembly during this season.

There are loads of stuff happening, you just got to see where ...

Weekly Free Association : The Sea

From Paulo Coelho- "

This week’s free association comes down to from the Moon to the Sea.
The Sea is intrinsically diverse and contradictory - given that its waters may be peaceful or aggressive depending on the context.

As you know the sea in certain traditions is linked to the bearer of all life. In Greek Mythology for instance, Oceanus - or Okeanos - the Titan God, ruled over the great earth-encircling river Okeanos, the font of all the earth’s fresh-water: including rivers, wells, springs and rain-clouds. Okeanos was also the god who regulated the rising and setting of the heavenly bodies which were believed to emerge and descend into his watery realm at the ends of the earth. Okeanos’ wife was Tethys, the nurse, who was probably thought to distribute his water to the earth via subterranean caverns.

But the Sea can also be depicted as a dangerous environment. Carl Jung for instance stated that in dreams, the sea represents the unknown region of your psychic sphere, where many dangers stay hidden.
Now, you take the floor : what do you associate with the Sea? "


In response to above question of great Writer Paulo Coelho here is what I have to say- the article presented down has been approved by an administrator of Paulo Cohelo in his blog. You can find a copy of same article under his blog too.

----



What is Sea ? Is it associated with God or is it associated with fear in our dreams ? Good question Paulo, My personal view on this matter is that-

Let us break down the word called “sea”. S of the word could be Season, e of the word could be Earth and a of the word could be adaptability. Now, Once I combine these words and try to make give some meaning to it. It becomes- Based on Season, the earth adapts. Now it is up to you to decide how does this statement connects with the sea. The message drawn from this word Sea, has great deal of importance.

First, May be during those times humans had Natural resources and they do not understand the meaning of their existence. Therefore, the god gave them a Sea which will remind them that Based on the seasons the earth adapts. “The statement itself gives lot of meaning for human existence too”.

We are living in this earth as the sea in the earth. We are burning every day or struggling every day and trying to protect our existence. In case of Sea, sea is also getting heated up daily and it is protecting its own existence. We are then becoming cool in nights and relaxing with the tiredness of our burning entire day. Similarly the sea is very cold and chilly in the nights. The clouds moves to the cooler place near some mountains. Now again in the morning we wake up with the early morning rise of sun. The same process counties with our existence too.

I think Carl Jung idea of sea which is fear, is associated with those minds which lack knowledge and those minds can easily be directed in any ways. We have group of community and group of people or humans doing a common task that is based on the rule of one intelligent mind over thousand common minds.

Therefore, To conclude your comments I would give you one quotation and that quotation is derived from your question. The quote is- “Based on Season, the earth adapts.”

-----

Question of the Week : The favorite lists

From Paulo Coelho-
"I’ve been checking in internet that people are fond of making lists, so I would like for you to tell us your favorite lists and also to elaborate on the elements of this."

In response to above question of great Writer Paulo Coelho here is what I have to say- the article presented down has been approved by an administrator of Paulo Cohelo in his blog. You can find a copy of same article under his blog too.

I would request you Paulo, Please do not get directed by what people do in Internet but what you would like people to give from you using Internet.

To answer your question of making the favorite list. I would like to say that, there is nothing favorite for me and nothing not favorite for me. Because, Take an example of “food in front of you”. The food itself is not bad or good, it is our taste and feelings or behavior towards the food that gives an impression that it is bad or good.

I know every humans will have different list because the Difference always comes with the numbers. In the world where we should subtract the differences; we care multiplying it.

It is not good idea to sea in such a way. The taste of humans cannot be made common and none of “my interest” will match with “her interest” or “your interest”. Even if some of the things match others will remain as it is.

See one another example of your hands. A human has two hands and have you noticed that, in one hand there are 5 fingers. All these 5 fingers are different and they do not match. They are different. Today, the world has been divided just like those five fingers of a single human hand. But wait a moment, have you noticed the other hand ? There is another hand with the same types of 5 fingers and those look exactly the same as of the other hand with the 5 different fingers.

Now, if you see difference in each of them how would you be able to write, ride, play, pray, work and clap. Tell me. Please see the similarities and do not see any differences.

My own life, is solely based on the concept of seeing the similarities and not the differences in anything that my sense allow me.

If you ask me what is your favorite list I would not be able to see the difference and make a list but since I read all those comments and I too have to make one to see the similarities in what others are doing, here is what I would say-

“Earth”, “Satisfaction”, “Nature” and “Women”.

Study in Finland, think again.

Welcome to Finland a country of thousand lakes. Silence and Peace every where even the birds and animals would not like to sing a song to you. It is good that you will get personal privacy, lot of space and silence., But there are things which you will make you worry then anything else.

The bureaucracy and official stuff is very annoying. In the world, a student is same every where. Then some stupid divided the world into three phases. He called them First world,Second world and Third world. According to the economy, infrastructure and many others factors. What is the fault of student who is in third world or is in first world ? The fault is that- He does not get any benefit from his home country and he has to show that he has enough money to feed himself in Finnish land.

It will make you feel as if you are really some alien living in this world. It brings lot of psychological problem in the mind of those who come and study. I do not know what others feel but I think I have felt this way. It make me think why I was born in third world and not in the first world.

What is the fault of human living either in third world or any world ? Human is human everywhere. Yesterday, I was giving this interview and a Interviewer she asked me- what is the difference between studying in Finland and studying in your country ? I said to her that- "I do not see any difference because I see only similarities". When we see differences in people we will get divided, that is why we are from different countries and different way of looking at others, different religion, difference in everything. But once we see the similarities we come close to other person and we connect ourselves with others.

There are lot of psychological problem one has to face when one comes in foreign land for the study. First is financial, second is study, third is personal and fourth is dealing with people in foreign land. Financial will always be kind of problem for not only third world students but to any student from any where in world. Until and unless he comes from rich family or have good savings of his own.

Study is based on hard work and effort the student puts in it. He can go miles and he can do what the world sees today as development all are with the effort of students doing hard work to foster technological innovation and for the well-being of society.

Personal is left with personal problems. One can have thousand problems but I would not discuss this because every body has their own problems and they deal with it, in there own ways.

The last one is interesting because, here I am talking about Finland and I have not seen any Finns who are not helpful or not very cool. They are one the best humans you will ever encounter in your life. They are very nice and humble. They love peace and they appreciate it. May be I have been lucky to see only good people or may be I see only similarities in them that is why I have not met any people in this land with differences of my country, religion, race or anything.

It is not good to give Visa to Foreign Student only for 1 year. May be they have to change the rule they have made. They should learn from USA or from other rest of the world where they give permission for students to stay for 5 year at once. But here we have to face the problem of psychological torture every once in a year. I do not know why they have made such stupid system. I think it really needs to be changed. It has to be changed because if one cannot afford to study surely one will not choose to study in Finland but if one thinks he can afford it, why do a person has to go through the psyhological problems of proving each time that he can really afford to study ?

It is my humble request to those who wish to come to Finland for study, please think again. If you are really financially strong then only choose your destination to study in Finland but once you think you cannot afford it please do not come here. Go to USA, as most of the people do and most of the students in our country do as well. At least you will not have to face the problems of proving that you can afford your study.

Those who are making rules to govern the country should update there rules. Those who are doing official bureaucracy stuffs should understand that humans are same everywhere. Those who do not have vision to see a peaceful world should not be given rights to make rules. If I were to make a rule, definitely I would have changed these things for the well-being of students.

Save fuel



The future of anything in the world is very unknown. It is not known by anyone and only we humans can do is predict. A prediction for the hunger of fuel really seem that we are going back. We have travelled a lot and we have made our marks on earth, water and sky. Now it is the time to go back to the jungles and start looking at our existence or evolution.

The more we are going towards the technology oriented world. The more we are getting problems of technology, the more we will face the problems in future of reduction in oil and rise in price of all these gasolines.

Here is one example of increase in the price of fuel which has resulted in the wooden vehicle for the future.

"The notebook"

Last night, I was watching a movie called "The notebook". A movie which has a story theme-"Every great love has great story". A truly exceptional movie of love. Two couples who love each other, more than themselves.

The story has a great ending and every two person in love would like to end there life in the similar fashion. A love which has no story is not a love. It does not matter weather the story has to be great or not-great; it is basically up to others to judge it but every love has some story.

When a person is in love, he is in love and can do anything for his love to become a reality or success. A guy in this movie has a dream, a dream of building a old house into the dream house for him and his girl friend. But due to financial problems of the guy he could not easily make his dream come true.

A girls family is very rich and famous so her mother do not likes her to get married with the guy and she takes her away from the guy. Later, they separate what is important is the distance between the two people which reminds them about how much they love each other.

A truly nice movie with load of good lesson to be learned from it. Life is full of surprises and some times we get more surprises then expected. It is very nice and good to see the things as they are and not as they would be.

One of the beauty of life is to see the beauty in everything. The place, the things, the people, environment, surroundings, friends, family and everything else. When a person sees the beauty in everything else then they can really make a difference. They can create a difference not in there heart or mind but the difference in society, difference of change, difference over religion and knowledge and difference over lives of other people.

It is good to see good things and try to neglect or take a experience from the bad things in lives. A love is love, cannot be explained, cannot be judged and cannot be estimated. A love of a person is for a life. A life till the existence of the person. A love for a country, for a nation, for a family and for a girl and for a religion all are same. Only the context is different. Only to whom and what visualized is different.

No one can measure the love, it is vast and deep, deeper than the ocean and deeper the human emotions. Deeper than one's judgment and opinion. It is a virtue by which we are existing today.

A love of Nature towards us has made us survive. How many us can raise our hands and say that we are the creators of Nature ? 10, 100, 1000 or not even one. It is up to us to decide. Are we a Nature child or are we not ? These answers will be best described when one can realize that we are saved by Nature most of the times. Without it we cannot exit. With it we can exit forever and ever.


Welcome to become a child of Nature and worship a love for it.In a sea of lake full of water, The water is water. Dirt in water does not make the water dirty. It is the way we look it. After the dirt thrown into a water, it will still be pure as it was before.


Well, I hope you all have a great start of the week. Enjoy the beauty that is presented in front of you not with imaginary smiling face but with real smiling face from inside you.

Rise in Peace

Welcome to the place where there is peace and total peace. A peace is defined in many ways and these can vary from one term to another, one place to another, one country to another, in terms of religion, sex and destiny.

Peace is not what we think, peace is state of mind; peace is total satisfaction in itself, peace is very funny and at some times peace is creating wars in our life. A total peace in human life is more important than anything else.

Peace can be defined in many ways- the total peace of mind is what we need and the total peace of mind can only be determined by the oneself. A person some times can only be in peace; or in total confusion of thinking that a person is in peace.

A definition here about the peace will not be defined. It is just the matter of discussion about what is peace or how one can achieve the peace. A state of the mind, which always is silent. which is thinking beyond others are thinking and best way to go through all these phases are only way of achieving it.

A special way of looking at what is peace is looking at yourself. A peace is what every body wants but no body esepcially goes through or gets it easily. A mind which is born childish slowly becomes the matured at later stages and slowly becomes the very matured. A mind when just being fresh slowly stars picking up the dirt from every corner of the environment and the place. It takes all the necessary information from all around the corner.

It is then our mind becomes very speculating the things around the world. A peace of mind can be easily achieved. A peace of the mind is peace of soul. A peace when we are not speaking anything and thinking nothing. A thinking can be varied. A thinking in our mind will lead us to violence in mind. A violence in mind means total disturbance that is there is total confusion. One example of such distribution is that of, disturbance when a person is sleeping- many of the people they speak when they are sleeping.

Why do a person speak when they are sleeping ? Is there a peace ? No, It is the mind with the disturbance in soul. It has very dazzling and stressful. A stress and anxiety is developed in the mind of the human. These anxiety is due to violence of mind. A person who is speaking in nights and sleeping is feeling these violence. The person can easily gain a peace by closing a eyes before sleeping and remembering all those daily event that has occurred in that particular day.

A solution is very simple and it will surely help to those who need peace of mind. To those who are living in peace of mind does not necessarily do such activity but those who are living with one problems such as speaking while sleeping can certainly gain a peace to some extent.

A peace is what is in need for every one. Hopefully there would be peace in world one day, let us imagine a world where there is total peace. A peace of mind, a peace of soul and a peace of country, religion, sex,war and many more aspects that are unresolved.

Peace is not the answer to war because both are opposite and one without other cannot be ignored. A war can never be resolved since we are huge in numbers and with higher numbers, higher the differences and with higher differences there are higher crisis.

A result of difference is what is the cause of many world war. Today we see it in ourself, let us not see the differences in any aspects of life. If you cannot do it then just learn if that can be done. See it for a day and then try out. Those who created us gave a two eyes, to see one with our own perspective and other eyes to see what others perspective are or what others are feeling or thinking or giving to us and two ears to do the same. Similarly two hands with one to work for oneself and other to help for others.

Two legs to walk in the land where one is born and other leg to see that you can reach anywhere in other peopl's land. I have to agree to myself that if you have time and if you want to gain a peace in an environment please do come and visit the place called "Finland". A country where there is total freedom, a place full of silence and beauty, a world of its own with friendly people and smily faces all around.

Even though you will not see many of the humans here, you will surely see the smiles of all the kinds in the town. Let us rise in peace.

How can I solve others problems if I can't solve even my own promblems?

A question thrown by my very good friend is the title of the discussion today. I would like to try and give an answer to this question. The question is very nice and very good one. It is an intelligent question asked by an intelligent mind. It truly asks a problem which we face in our day to day activity. It is very true that why should one focus on others people problem if one cannot find the solutions to his.

Now, for the answer to this question let me tell you one thing- "There are two ways of walking the path of life one is looking at your own self and other is looking at your self together with the looking at those who are in suffer." Now let me clarify why I think there are two ways to see the path of life. The first is self, thinking always about our problems and trying to find the solution for it. We strive our entire life because problems are always occurring every time. From the moment we are born to the time we are in the state of dieing we face the problems, it is always there occurring. Every new day, every new journey we take these problems will always occur till the time we have lived our life.

Second, the other way one can walk through the path of life is looking at self together with learning from those who are around us, who look similar to us and who are human beings. One cannot solve the all the problems they face in life by only themselves, they have to look after others, learn from others and try to see it for themselves.

The priority is the key, which one would you like to priotize and keep is upto you. It is the decision made by you and only you. If tomorow some body is giving you the advice or suggestion or if you are following the path of some guru or some leader or some spiritual god then you are not letting your own self to guide you to the path of desitnation.

A journey is always made by a person but there can be many in ways who can guide you to the real destination. However, you should not follow what they say but take there advice and make your own decision. A decision made by self is the only right decision.

Well, let me tell you one thing, Looking at my own life I can assure you that I love my family, I love all who are around me and all those things that are connected to me in one way or another. I do not know what is love and I do not say in verbal way that I really feel the same. But I pray for all those things, friend and family every day. I am not joking and I am not trying to prove anything. I am only letting to know that- It is my decision and only mine. I am also not worried if some body else is angry or being unhappy and it is because of me only because it is there problem and not mine.

I do not know how to get angry and I know most of the finnish friends I have seen, do not get angry for any reason. One of the best thing about this place is that, It reminds you and only you. It begs you to ask a question about your own self than others. It has plenty to teach and plenty to give and take from it.

Our problem can be easily solved if we see them not as problem but as the way of finding the solutions to the problems.There are no problems if we live in moment and do our day to day activity, and not keep as pending. Our task are the one of the great problem in our daily life. If we keep on pending our task then one day these task will lead us to higher problems. This is one example of problem we face in life.

It is not easy to solve others problem because one will not the same problem for the same but one can atleast pray or give some advice or just speak a couple of words which can motivate a person with a problem. A couple of words like "wish you get over it", "thank you", "all the best", "I hope you enjoy", "I pray that your problems would be overcome easily", "I hope you recover soon" and many more if we dig it.

All these words if spoken will also motivate the person with a problem. If it cannot solve then it can really help a lot.Therefore, It is just you, who decides if you want to solve your problem or try to see others problem and give some advice or give motivating words or insipirational words if you really cannot see the solution for a problem.


These are what I think, but again I am not fighting with my friend or not trying to say that I am absolutely right or correct. I am just saying that this is what we can think about. This way also we can think of problems of ours over others. Well, It is just you who decides if I am right or wrong. and I accept both with my both hands joined, a face with smile and saying it in true way-"Namaste" !

Solve the greater problems.

A lot of things are there in our mind and loads of things do not always get fulfilled automatically. Each of these problems we face are faced by others like us every where in the world. Many people do not like to be happy just because they have some simple problems but look at those who are living in Africa with no food to eat and no home to live.

Look at those who live there lives in Africa with "disease such as AIDS", and problems of poverty and education. What types of world are we going to make tomorrow ? Will we be able to make the world a better place just by neglecting all those who have true inspiration to create a better world or will we just look after our own community and not to others ? It is great challenge for many who lives in peace to invite those who have broader vision for greater world and who have power to deliver good even when they live anywhere.

Tomorrow, our future will not be solved by solving our own issues but by solving the problems of those who are in need. Tomorrow, is very unknown and to figure out the unknown we must walk through the path of today. At this moment, we are busy in our day to day activity but I ask you why are we not looking after those who are facing more problems than our smaller daily problems ? We should try to seek and find some solutions to our greater problems. Example would be enormous. Some of these examples would be AIDS, Global warming,Poverty and equality, caste and creeds, race and religion and many more.

"Together we grow", is one of the slogan of European Union. The slogan tells that there are many countries inside the europe but all these countries cannot progress single they have to be united to solve the problems of all the countries and problems of the world. I like the slogan because it has greater potential than anything else.

It is always good to remember that "United" we will develop, being united we will progress and being united we will solve our greater problems. But from the place where I come up, Nepal- a country famous for bigger mountains and birthplace of Spiritual leaders Gautam Buddha. I can see only differences in the making of the country.

I do not know what kind of differences they are creating, leaders are creating but these differences are truly non-inspirational and can lead to devastating future ahead. The land of peace has been decided to be divided on the basis of Caste. A place where there are hundreds of caste and the land division based on caste and creed is not a good choice.

As the country is highly being influenced by India and most of the products are consumed from India. These country men should stand together for the greater cause and build a nation together. But to lead the country men for the greater cause none of the leaders are motivated. All these leaders are already being sell to India. These leaders are sold to India even before they come into power.

"In a country of 100 fools, if there is one intelligent than that one intelligent also have to become a fool." There are some people who have greater vision for the country and want to develop the Nations but the statement with quotation says it all for those very few greater visionaries.

If my seventh sense works for me, I would like to say that; In the place where people stand for the greater cause by joining hand in hand together to solve the global problems with great ideas, one must learn from them. If cannot learn one must look and observe how they progress and see how can we develop our nations too.

To live for ourself is easy, every body does it but to live for the problems faced by people else where is very difficult. Let us try and do difficult things. Easy is always easy, but those humans are humans who try to solve greater difficult problems. Even if you are not capable or you think you cannot do anything, just follow the path. It will take you there where some one in need will ask for your help.

How important interviews are?

From Paulo Coelho-
"I met a reader and she was discussing with me an article she had just read in a Spanish magazine about me. She told me that she kept on reading the same things in my interviews. Of course, she has read all of my books and follows my career. Yet, she’s right to have this feeling given that journalists always repeat the same questions, over and over again.
So here is my question of the week for you: How important interviews are?"

In response to above question of great Writer Paulo Coelho here is what I have to say- the article presented down has been approved by an administrator of Paulo Cohelo in his blog. You can find a copy of same article under his blog too.



A question will give you the very simple answer-Yes. It can also be said-No. Let me first define why I would say yes for the interview. It is because it depends upon the personality of a person. A person like Paulo Coelho who is famous writer needs lot of public hearing and every body who is interested to know more about him or his book should be given an opportunity to know more about him. A truly inspirational stuffs are lacking in the world. To inspire those all humans who are hungry for the knowledge it is good to give an interview.

The best thing about the interview is that it will help a reader to know get more out of the upcoming project or work that a writer is been preparing or carrying out for the people.

A reader of Paulo Coelho is depressed by reading the same stuff of answer that was the result of question asked by journalist. But one thing both Paulo and reader should understand that- It is Paulo who knows the Journalist is asking the same question to him time and time again. How would a Journalist would know, the same question have been asked to Paulo or not ? I think Journalist is barely doing his job nothing else. A reader of Paulo Coelho will definitely know more about him only because they are readers and they read all great books from the writer.

To answer the other way around why interviews are not important. A writer who is famous world wide likes of Paulo should not go for the interview simply because it is just like Marketing the product or work. A writer who spends most of the time in isolation during the work should most of time focus on doing what he is doing at his best. Therefore, An interview is not necessary for the product campaign together with that more publicity can result some times in boring the readers with the same stuff appearing all the time anywhere they go or visit. A reader reading either it is Brazil or in Spain will read the same stuff time and time again and get bored with first the person who gave the interview and second with the person who takes the interview.

However, It is always good to maintain some kind of balance between the two.
