Thought Pollution

We are surrounded by pollution, day in and day out. The moment we keep foot out of house, we face air pollution, noise pollution, water pollution and what more. We try our best to be safe from such pollution and blame the society. We have heard and faced a lot about such outer pollutions.



Today I will talk on pollution that comes from within. The pollution of our thoughts which seldom has the control.The pollution of thoughts that comes from mind. The government may take steps to control the environmental pollutions, but no government in this world can prevent or control thought pollution.

Let us think about our own thoughts and how polluted our thoughts are. To make it simple, crisp & clear I shall categorize it.

1. Pollution of Revenge : After some harm to our ego and reputation, we always think of taking revenge and destroy all the ego of the opposition. In doing so it gives happiness to us. But in the process we loose our mind, quality time and most importantly the relations that was build. There is no paste control or chemical treatment for EGO. The only remedy is to be ego-less and down to earth.


2. Pollution of Hate : When things don't go according to our desires we start hating the same thing or the same person whom we loved the most at times. So where has to love flied then ? We are slaves of situation and circumstances. Because our words, behaviors & likings totally depend on the circumstances and incidents and we start hating things or people. This is the dangerous pollution that costs when it come to relations.


3. Pollution of Enviousness : Jealousy or enviousness is often seen in people who fail to achieve and get jealous on someone's success rather than being happy for them. This feeling is jealousy is strong enough that is happens only with friends, relatives, siblings and near ones. A friend getting good job is a moment to celebrate and congratulate but jealous minded people waste their time thinking "How can he get such a good job ?"or "How can he/she be successful in his life ?" There may be a medicine for every disease  but there is and would never be a medicine for dangerous disease called "JEALOUSY".


4. Pollution of Disrespect : It was a time when every relation was seen with respect and care. But with the changing time, the values and respect of relations has vanished. people disrespect people regardless of the age and relations. They never see anyone with respect and love. And I tell you, without respect there is no love and humanity. people disrespect their parents, grand parents, partners, friends and many more without seeing what good they have done to us.


5. Pollution of Anger : In race of money, wealth, glamour, luxury and fantasy, there comes a free disease called ANGER. This is actually a virus which passed from one body to another. Once someone comes into contact with Anger, it keeps on passing from one body to another. An angry colleague in work unloads his/her on his colleague. After her transfers his/her anger he is relaxed and satisfied but the other guy will now be infected by anger and he will pass this anger feeling on the other one and it so on. This virus has no medicine and this polluted feeling has no remedy. The only remedy is to "Forget", but that is next to impossible for many of us. 


These are the problems and pollutions that we posses within us and none of us could deny this fact.

Even I may be a pollution creator in some above kinds, because humans make mistake and nobody is perfect in life. So let us all try to stop this polluted thoughts and feeling and keep the social bond strong at workplace, home and in society. 

There are some possible remedies and prescriptions to control or avoid this pollution.

A. Be grateful to all.

B. Celebrate small success, doesn't matter its yours or others.

C. Have feelings of humanity, love and care.

D. Be helpful to someone without expectations.

E. Before reacting, step into their shoes and think.

F. Take time to decide and rethink.

G. Value yourself and others feelings.

With this note, I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST & A POLLUTION FREE LIFE.

Spread this blog to your near and dear ones to gift them a POLLUTION FREE LIFE because once we understand where we go wrong, we may some day bring a change.

A Bowl of Respect

A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year old grandson. The old man’s hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together at the table.  But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth. 

The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. “We must do something about father,” said the son. “I’ve had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.”  So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl!  When the family glanced in Grandfather’s direction, sometime he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food. 

The four-year-old watched it all in silence. 

One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?”  Just as sweetly, the boy responded, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up.” The four-year-old smiled and went back to work . 


The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. 

That evening the husband took Grandfather’s hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.


Something to Learn : You reap what you sow. Regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. Always Respect, Care for and Love them.

Today - A Matured Yesterday

If I ask what is today ? One would say it is Saturday. Some may say it is 10th September 2016. While some may say is it the 253rd day of 2016. 

But what if say TODAY - A MATURED YESTERDAY ??


With passage of time and age we experience many things in life. The mind that was thinking in narrow horizon MAY accepting changes today. The ears that used to Hear yesterday may be ready to Listen today. The tongue that disrespected elders till now may respect through words today. It has learned when to speak and when not to. Yesterday's beggar may be future millionaire The experience of yesterday be it good or bad, would reflect today and would be a learning for future.



We all live in present and have plans, dreams and desires for tomorrow. We focus on our life in a haphazard way and keep dreaming for better future. But what is the learning from our past ? Are we matured enough to handle the situation in which we failed till now ? Have we learnt from it ? majority of us have never learnt from our past and still we keep repeating mistakes we made.

Let us see how to learn in various stages of life.

1. If you have failed in past, then don't try to justify is. Rise up by learning from it
2. If you have succeeded in some matter, get motivated to perform better.
3. Try to find an inspiration from people around you or someone who motivates you.
4. Learning from own mistake would help you but learning from others mistake would make you better.
5. Listen to everyone and learn from them.
6. Cultivate a habit of 10 minutes of introspection daily. 
7. After every success or failure, see what was the better scope and how better it could be done.
8. Focus on what is your strength and weakness and apply yourself.

With every passing day we create our history. Its upto us which kindly of history we create. Success is achieved by getting matured through learning from past and taking actions in next endeavors.

Let us believe in Today - A Matured Yesterday and make our Tomorrow brighter. 

Hope today's blog would be useful to you in getting success tomorrow.

"To make Today the best day, learn from your worst Yesterday."
