Who are the biggest influences in your life?

Every human being have a deep impact of a religion in their life. Religion can influence the culture of an entire community, nation, or region of the world. Different Belief system that are widely accepted become part of our culture and in many ways, shape that society where we live in.

Every religion have some thematic principles that make them similar to one another, namely concepts of god and love, honesty, altruism, miracle workings and peacekeeping. However, every religion has elements and ideologies that set them apart from the other.

The concept of karma and reincarnation in Hinduism, heaven-hell and salvation in Christianity, paradise and hell in Islamism, peaceful afterlife and reincarnation in indigenous Chinese folk religions, and release from the cycle of reincarnations and reaching enlightenment in Buddhism.

The benefits of following religion (dharma) include the development of positive thinking, good discipline, and ethical values. Mental stability and outlook will improve, and humanism will grow. As I grow in the shadow of Hinduism and it reflects in me.

When are you most happy?

Happiness begins with a smile, freedom and good thoughts. Happy moments are when you feel everything going in the right direction according to your planning, shining eyes feel open and a voice of satisfaction is comming from soul.

I feel most happy when I perform things successfully what I planned earlier in a systematic manner. It may be my routine work, spend time with family and friends, a bike ride, tourist destination, a pleasant writing, any event, a deep sleep, random acts of kindness etc.

Happy moments come and go, as there are happy hills and sad valleys that will last much longer than a moment. The hard part is making sure that the happy hills happen more often and last longer than the down feeling valleys.

Describe a man who has positively impacted your life.

Every one can see the sky, even a small worm crawling upon the earth sees the blue sky, but how very far away it is. So it is with our ideal. It is far away, no doubt, but at the same time, we know that we must have it. We must even have the highest ideal.

Generally people are groping through this dark life without any ideal at all. If a man with an ideal makes a thousand mistakes, I am sure that the man without an ideal makes fifty thousand mistakes. Therefore it is better to have an ideal.

And this ideal we must hear about as much as we can till it enters into our hearts. Into our brains, into our veins, until it tingles in every drop of our blood and permeates every pore in our body. We must meditate upon it. Out of the fullness of the heart the mouth speak it, and out of the fullness of the heart the hand works too.

A person who directly or indirectly positively impacted in my life through their actions, activities and thoughts. I worte a poetry on him in my blog “A visionary leader”. He was just amazing personality, I always admire to be like him. As a human being if I am exited here on earth, my life must be like he is living his life.

Sometimes a strong woman just need to be loved for who she is. She spends so much of time being resilient and indipendent, holding everything together, managing everything in a systematic way.

She strengthen the limits of freedom, dignified the standards of society by stabilizing them. She simplify the situations for others and possibly support who struggling to uplift.

Her actions sets an example for society by handling situations with an ease and cool mind. Her contributions make an impact which needs to applaud.

But beneath that strength, she has a heart that carves genuine connection and affection. She needs someone who sees her, appreciate her and love her without conditions.

Some one who understands even the strongest people need to be held and cherished. Her soul should be glorified which  maintains a beautiful balance between differences.

Loving a strong woman means respecting her strength while also giving her space to be vulnerable and supported. Her courage to be part of change will secure moral structure of society.

Tell us one thing you hope people say about you.

Generally people like social person who are often friendly, approachable, and good communicators. They may also enjoy participating in group activities and events. I am a person  someone who not enjoys being around others, engaging in social interactions, and building unnecessary relationships.

I prefers calmness, I only like to interact people when it needed. Sometimes when I do lots of public interaction then I have to regain my energy by spending time alone.

Everyone has their ideas about what’s right and wrong, and this is perfectly normal. But you have to see whether it works for you or not if it doesn’t help make your life better, then don’t use it.

Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech?

Many times I manages the stage at a performance, event, award function etc and sometimes I get a chance to deliver a speech on a specific topic. Here I am going to share with you my first experience of anchoring at Fresher Function which was held in my college.

My college life was surely a learning experience. The confidence and motivation it gave me, I couldn’t get anywhere else. Most importantly, it is the place where I recognized my uniqueness and individuality.

The stage fear is like feeling the weight of audiance that pressing down on me. I am loosing control on my mind, voice, expressions and body language. Public speaking brings different kinds of emotions to the surface with fear such as anxiety, panic, unease, nervousness, and worry.

My whole preparation became blank now but I told myself that I have to do it because this is last option, no one here to take my place right now. Then I close my eyes and remember God, feel some confidence and look at script written on paper in my hand and I get started.

It taught me something very important lesson, it was that if i were to just be willing to stand up and speak, people will do the things that i want them to do. Step by step  I conquer the stage and at last whole auditorium is in my control.

What is something others do that sparks your admiration?

“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.”
  – Eleanor Roosevelt

We have the rights to rise above it by living a good and admirable life. Our dream and taken action towards it make an image. That our own actions and character rather than being consumed by the opinions and words of others. People start talking about that and lots of advices come from that. Applying this learning involves cultivating inner strength and resilience.

If your actions are extraordinary that really hit peoples mind they start talk behind your back. They have a perception about you it may be positive or negative but by this they start putting you in their mind. They have a opinion about you and randomly they start discussing it in their circles that results increaments in your popularity.

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.
