What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?

“The youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow”                                                         Nelson Mandela

I really feel proud to be the part of a organisation that planned or organized occasion for youths. Here we plan something that really encourage the confidence youths.

Time to time we organise some specific events which brings effective importance in their life. Small initiative that brings awareness and appreciate talents.

Dev foundation is a non-governmental organizations that specifically target and work with young people, typically between the ages of 15 and 24, to address issues happening around world.

It’s a non-profit that offers educational support, quiz competition, sports activities, leadership skills training, and community service to help young people become leaders.

What is one thing you would change about yourself?

I think we all are poor little beggars, whatever we do, we want something return. We all are traders in life, virtue, religion and in love.

If every trade there is a question of give and take, buy and sell, abide by the law of buying and selling. There is a good and bad time, rise and fall. It is like looking at the mirror, if you laugh mirror is laugh.

We don’t think here what we give, we calculate things with expectations. We get misery in return for our love. Not from the fact that we love, but from the fact that we want love in return. There is no misery where there is no any want. Desires, want is the father of all misery.

The kind of work for a motive or purpose brings misery. That work or Karma alone brings unattachment and bliss. That kind of work or Karma makes you master of our own mind.

What are your two favorite things to wear?

1. Comfort wise t-shirt and lower is the best option they are loose and soft allow for freedom of movement, without any of the irritation caused by scratchy fabrics, tightness or restriction.

2. Overall I like Indian traditional wear. They have reflection of culture’s identity and heritage, they are in various designs and  colours.

What technology would you be better off without, why?

Latest war equipments are discovered and used in wars in different part of world as we see in daily in the news. A world without war and weapons could lead to a more peaceful, harmonious, and prosperous world.

There is a serious discussion of the possibility of utterly removing nuclear weapons from the planet Earth. Furthermore, the discussion is taking place among nuclear policy professionals, the people who publish in Foreign Affairs, International Security, and other serious journals. The reality is only we are discussing about it instead of taking any action.

Without weapons humans would not have survived long enough to build civilization, and without civilizations, even at the levels of villages and towns, there would be no wars. Will civilizations are main cause of war!?

What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why?

Some of the most difficult decisions people make are those that involve significant life changes or potential losses. It can be difficult to make because of the uncertainty, emotional challenges, and pressures involved.

Toughest decision is whether to choose a job with happy love life or go for passion with lots of struggle. I choosen to go with my passion alone because ultimately it gives me a satisfaction. Any decision depends on situation, taking correct decision at a situation is the toughest job, and the decision taken should be beneficial.

Nobody plays this life with marked cards, so sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Sometimes it’s hard to calculate the resultant of the decision. Stay with you decision do not expect anything in return, do not expect your efforts to be appreciated, your genius to be discovered, your love to be understood.

Who are your current most favorite people?

People who involve in construction work are my favourite one in current time. People who work for or under the control of a contractor on a construction site. This kind of people are shaping future infrastructure.

A construction worker is a worker employed in the physical construction of the built environment and its infrastructure. They may be skilled, non-skilled supervisory or managerial personnel.

The construction industry emerges as a powerhouse, orchestrating growth, innovation, and transformation. This dynamic sector plays a pivotal role in shaping the nation’s future by contributing significantly to economic prosperity.

Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?

Mountains are adventurous
They strengthen your guts

They have realistic beauty
With lots of majestic views

They are endurance with grace
We find peace in this place.

If I have to choose a holiday destination it’s very simple for me I prefer mountains over beeches. But I love beeches also 🤓 .

Since childhood we are all in the race for top rank, place, class etc 😁. So the height of mountain with waterfalls or other water bodies really attract me more. As compare I think mountains have more greenery and natural beauty specially at the time of sunrise and sunset.

Studies say that people who prefer the beaches are usually extroverted, social, music and fun loving and those who prefer the mountains are introverts, philosophical and solitude loving.

If you could meet a historical figure, who would it be and why?

“Arise, awake, stop not till the goal is reached.”

“This world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.”

“Talk to yourself once in a day, otherwise you may miss meeting an intelligent person in this world.”
                         -Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekanand was the chief disciple of the 19th-century mystic Ramakrishna and the founder of Ramakrishna Mission. Swami Vivekananda is also considered a key figure in the introduction of Vedanta and Yoga to the West and is credited with raising the profile of Hinduism to that of a world religion.

Swami Vivekananda become famous after representing India and Hinduism at the Parliament of the World’s Religions (1893) at the Permanent Memorial Art Palace Chicago, now the Art Institute of Chicago, as part of the World’s Columbian Exposition. He emphasized the importance of religious tolerance, universal acceptance, and the idea that all religions lead to the same truth.

He advocated his followers to be divine, pious and unselfish. He emphasised that success was an outcome of focused thought and action, in his lectures on Raja Yoga he said, Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life- think of it, dream of it, live on that idea.

The divine, the absolute, exists within all human beings regardless of social status and that seeing the divine as the essence of others will promote love and social harmony. Vivekananda saw truth, purity, and unselfishness as qualities that bolstered the intellect and connected morality to mental power.

Do you trust your instincts?

To be truly alive means to be conscious about everything that comes in your experience. -Nitin Namdeo

I trust my instincts because it is beneficial for my mental, physical and emotional health. It doesn’t matter weather it’s a profit or loss, good or bad it is about metal satisfaction and peace.

It’s shows you believe in yourself. Thats make you a more confident human being. Sometimes you may wrong but that’s give a experience. Your consciousness absorb it for always. Next time it’s give you a better result.
