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.

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.

What is your favorite place to go in your city?

A beautiful garden which is also known as heart of the Prayagraj city.  Which have its rich cultural, historical and botanical importance.

Company Garden also known as Alfred Park or Chandra Shekhar Azad Memorial Park. Azad was a great revolutionary  who sacrificed his life here during the Indian independence movement in 1931.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

I love my native palace so much because it is where I got to know many new things and interact with different kinds of people. I love everything’s about my hometown which includes the farm, traditional houses, the morning breeze and the peaceful surrounding that has lovely people.

My home city is specially famous for biggest religious festival of Hindus called “Kumbh Mela” on the conjunction of holy river Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati. Colourful evening at the bank of rivers in Prayagraj are the beautiful memories ever.

Whenever I leave and continue life, I won’t never forget my hometown where I get my family and most likely where I grew up in to so many different things. I like my hometown, and I would like to take good people to go and we together contribute to make our hometown more beautiful and stronger because it a better and important to me. I wish my last breath which I take should be here on the holy land of  Prayagraj.

Constitution of India ensure that everyone has the same chance to access resources like education, employment, and housing without discrimination. But current government of Uttar Pradesh changes the UPPSC rules.

Thousands of Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) aspirants staged a protest outside the headquarters of the commission in Prayagraj against the decision to conduct the Review Officer and Assistant Review Officer (RO-ARO) examination and the Provincial Civil Service (PCS) preliminary examination on different dates and in multiple shifts.

Our main demand is that PCS and RO/ARO examinations should be conducted on the same day in a single shift. We suspect that if this examination is held on different days, there may be a lack of transparency in the paper, and the possibility of rigging may increase. We believe that conducting the examination on the same day will ensure fairness and equal opportunity.

What part of your routine do you always try to skip if you can?

Tea is a central part of Indian culture and society, and is served at many occasions. It’s a symbol of hospitality and a way to bring people together.

I have an mental alarm for tea daily one in the morning and one in evening. It’s a good energizer to start a day and make a balance in evening when you feel little hungry.

I have to meet many people daily and visit various offices every place people generally offer tea and  I also do the same for them. Sometimes it repeated many time in a day. But over the last few years, for the health concerns, I have reduced it to maximum 3-4 cups a day.

What is good about having a pet?

This is part of religion in India specially have more respect for cows. Here it’s a pleasure to have a cow as pet in the house and they also fit for health and wealth. You have to be regular, disciplined and manage time to take care for them. Your lots of time engaged with them.

A very famous stroy baby Shri Krishna when Kansa sent various demons to kill him, Yashoda Maa and the people of Gokul would take him to the cowshed to get rid of any problems over Kanhaiya and to protect him. Following on from this, Pujya Bhaishri explains the importance of the holy mother cow and cow dung.
Cows can be good pets because they are generally gentle, affectionate, and intelligent. They can also be low maintenance, requiring minimal grooming.

What was your favorite subject in school?

Physics is favourite subject in school time because of physics teacher he teaches it so interestingly. He explain the concept behind every topic and correlate it with our daily life things. That forced me to think deep abot that topic.

Physics is a branch of science that involves the study of matter and its motion and behavior through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force in other words, understanding how the universe behaves.

Physics is the study of matter, energy, force, and how they interact to explain and predict natural phenomena. It’s a natural science that’s fundamental to understanding the world around us and is the foundation for other natural sciences.

Do you need time?

“Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.” – Mother Teresa

Time is like a river. You cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again.

I have sufficient time for everything that is happening. Actually I have no any desire to change something or make it better. It’s better to accept the facts that already happened and make ready yourself for upcoming challenges.

But if you have some desires to fix something again. You don’t have to worry only have to wait for right time and you have make belief on Einstein’s theory related to time and space.

Einstein’s theory suggests that time is more like a river that can speed up, slow down, meander, and create whirlpools. You also touch same flow of river twice. Which means that time is not absolute and changes depending on location and speed.

Time is so powerful it is continuously changing. If it is not in your favour please wait, it will change automatically. And you definitely get right thing at a right time.

Time is like a river flow with it. Float with joy and ease.
