Eco Holi







As per recent norm by Govt of India , Color with chemicals should be avoided in holi so we used the ageold wisdom of India to play holi






Its very simple , Use a pit of 4 X 7 so that even tallest and fattest friend of your can come into that . Fill this pit with water and dust whichwill in turn convert into mud with a little effort and fun and you are done . Advantage ; Starte counting

1) Cost effective : its free

2) Eco freindly

3) good for skin

4) Its feeling of connecting to earth , you know what I mean

5) Above all now you are invincible and don't care whatever color or stuff people use on you.

And after this you can simply start throwing others in here

Be aware Thoughts can become Action

Dedicated to a friend who turned thoughts into action.
It was a session by Parimal Merchant , Prof has called 3 volunteers from near by slum area to introduce them to us and tell us about the work which they are doing in slums , these volunteers themselves lived in slums and earned their livings by small jobs of hawkers , domestic help which fetched them an earning of 2-3 K per month . During the discussion it came out that doing social work obviously was no cake walk for these people specially when they don’t have support and funding from big organizations . All they had determination to do something and courage and conviction to take it forward.
The agenda of session was not Social service of work of NGOs but it was the four C’s of Parimal Sir , Conviction , compassion , courage and Confidence. While talking to these normal people who have started very small in slums , many times they mentioned that the path taken by them was by no means easy but they had already decided on it and hence they did not have any other go but to follow their heart. Vedas and old sayings also mention “ Thought produces actions “ , what you think is what you become irrespective of environmental and other constraints whole universe will be in your support to materialise your dream into reality , no matter how big it is .Amazingly it also does not matter whether it is good or bad , what matters is how clear is your vision , how clearly do you see it approaching . I recall one of the interview by now hit pop singer Daler Mehandi , He mentioned , when he was in USA working as cab driver , he used to visualise himself as a pop singer , he would visualise himself performing in front of large audience . Later on when he became a singer , he designed his own attire and this attire was the result of his visualisations only.
Next Level of it is "Thought with faith produce and attract stronger action " , I could immediately recall one strange habbit of Henery Ford , Mr ford had a habbit of of touching anything he liked and promising to himself that I would have it before this much time , and he always managed to fulfil his promise . Obviously Ford had confidence on his abilities which attracted even stronger actions , Whatever people say repeatedly and with conviction is bound to happen , probably that is the reason in old days our elders used to say that we should not say something bad about someone , who knows it might come true. So next time think big , think creative and think larger then life who knows it may turn into reality , after all its Law of attraction.
