Intent hold’s 99% Content

well well well… I’ve kept silent for most of the day!! managed to send out a few emails… taken out time to farm around a bit… and now I am wondering what to do… still not sleepy enough to sleep nor awake enough to party!!

I was reading a book this afternoon “Life” by Louise Hay… for those of you, who I’ve forced to read “You can Heal your Life”… this is another brilliant book written by the author. The beauty of the way she has written the first 10 pages… she touches your THOUGHTS with a very strong belonging. She can read your mind… for the first time, I’ve read an author clearly mark a chapter which she says is for WOMEN!!!

What strikes me is the depth from which the book is written… it reaches out to you… even though you’re the one who’s reading it… its like Louise has chosen to read it to you herself… and you will begin to read it like it was a talk… 2 people sitting across a low tea table and talking about life!!! And while you may hear Louise speak with you… she isn’t looking at you and talking for most of it… she seems to be looking at the script in heaven as the words continue to flow and touch your thoughts!!

I am wondering if I should take up a career in reviewing self help books by different authors… It’s brilliant when you’re able, through the written word that you are reading, touch the sensitivity of the Author’s intent while writing a particular book!!

Having written a book myself… I can feel the pulse with which the author has thought each word into it’s place. Credit to the Edit team… who manages to makes changes enough for the masses to read the book, without in anyway interfering with the intent of the author!!! Commendable!!!

There are some authors who both write and speak from a greater awareness of the presence of negativity… and then there are other’s who will inspire you to look at the silver lining on the greyest of clouds!

Every person, is a sum total of the vocabulary they use… the Author, has to bring each of these separate persons together to create the story and make it HOLDABLE… for if the author’s intent is all over the place… the content of the book follows suit!

Here’s an INTERESTING S.M.I.L.E exercise… that will help you pick up the writer’s intent from the writers content!

Ask yourself WHY HAS DEE WRITTEN THIS POST???? I want you to find my INTENT!!!

Bigg Boss Season 4

 

image

Oh Yes!! I have been following each episode in totality… silence… gives you the keen ability to LISTEN… and create opinions about almost everyone and everything on the show… including the host Winking smile

My favourite host… most definitely ARSHAD WARSI!!! He was spontaneous and a giggle a minute!! Shilpa was overdone… and Salman… well… needs a make over!!

Each one doing their best to keep themselves safe… and in keeping themselves safe… some people are literally telling it all… they’re exposing their own inner devils for the camera, quite unknowingly.

Dee thinks, Manoj Tiwary is the eel of the lot… a season 4 version of Ravi. Khalli is the “Gentle Giant” who is truly having a ball of a time. Rahul Bhatt is the smart one… guess it has to do with the Bhatt genes. Veena Malik… isn’t even really sure as to who SHE IS. Seema Parihar… rock solid and blunt. Hrishant…. Is trying to do an Ashutosh on the show. Samir Soni believes that he’s Rahul Roy’s avtaar. Aanchal, well…. still isn’t into the game really… should surface in the next couple of weeks. Shweta Tiwari… is the sweeter looking version of Kashmira Shah. Dolly Bindra can safely be called the SAMBHAVNA of this season. Sara Khan could ideally be the … Monica Bedi of Season 4… her expressions are bright and brilliant radiating straight back at Ashmit Winking smile this is what the viewer is getting to see. Ashmit… a pakka… THALI KA BAINGAN… Does Ashmit aspire to ACT Rahul Mahajan and Be Ashmit Patel…. well… it’s left to the imagination!!!

Going by the ad of the episode today…. won’t wanna miss for anything…. finally the joys of season one are beginning to surface… a face…Me also thinks the web content is cool!!! Check it out on Bigg Boss Season 4

Corruption Congestion and Bribes!!!

This is a blog I write for the pleasure of completely releasing my thoughts into the www. The last couple of days my thoughts have been congested really, often interrupted by a sneeze here or a cough there… feels like the flow is BLOCKED!!

So, I thought the best way to release the congestion is to keep typing and allowing the thoughts to breathe into the www… have a feeling, the congestion will sort itself out.

Watched we the people the other night, where the topic was CORRUPTION and I so wished I was in the audience, love bragging about my history and bribe… except for a policeman who managed to get Rs. 500 from me… for talking on the phone… and may I add only because I was in a hurry to get back to office!! I have had the complete joy of never paying a bribe to get my work done….. “God Is Watching” works like magic Winking smile and I use it like I invented it… ha ha ha!!

People speak of corruption like it is external to who they BELIEVE they are… it is amazing to see the righteous speak out in tones louder than their belief and corruption sounds like a call from Satan… unavoidable in the circumstances we live.

Well, proud are those who speak so lowly of Corruption and YET stand tall when taking a large cut for the services the render which in a million circumstances they’re actually PAID to do.

I was pretty impressed with a certain Mr. Raghu who has a fantastic site I Paid a Bribe!! 

image

Couldn’t resist visiting the site… and found the  content stimulating…  Suddenly, I am positively alerted on the word bribe… seem to love the idea of having to win the battle of thought… before I become the BRIBE Winking smile

image

It is such a brilliant thought… to bring a subject that, more often than not can leave you feeling DRAINED economically … making you feel empowered mentally to deal with the “Common Thought” with “Common Sense”.

I guess, we are a race that bribes to save time or save face or speed up the process… the question is… what are our personal points of THOUGHT that make it RIGHT or WRONG to BRIBE???

The Book of Job!!!

4 reminders later… I am beginning to read the signboard!!!

First it was my sister who spoke to me… and she described Job, as a wonderful wonderful lesson to keep oneself grounded in faith even when all else seems to crumble all around!! A subject I’d often spoken to her about and yet, reading the book of Job easily connected her to the CORE of the lesson she needed to learn Smile

Last Sunday Rev Arun Andrews  of RZIM spoke on the subject  emphasised on the LOSSES that JOB faced and how EVEN IN THE LOSSES he praised GOD!!! As he spoke, I was wonderfully transported into the WHY of my presence at this particular service and my gratitude extended to the heavens in the sheer KNOWING that God indeed has a greater plan for my life and the purpose of this period holds SOOOO many lessons to be cherished!

On Wednesday I watched a movie on sony pix “Keeping Mum” in which the subject of a Vicar’s speech at a convention was “God’s Mysterious ways” and a rather THOUGHT PROVOKINGLY written script that stayed longer with me than the rest of the movie Winking smile 

On Thursday I was speaking with Aunty Colleen… someone who is really really the one person I share so much with…. and she spoke to me about the most important part of the story of JOB… the beginning WHEN GOD and Satan discussed JOB and the end of the book… when God Blessed JOB with double of all he lost!!!

While I realise that there are more than 4 reasons for me to read the book of Job… the deeper thought is to review it from the PERSPECTIVE of Gratitude!!

Could there be a reason far greater for the many reminders for me to read this book again? … for me to read between the lines of that which is written?… for me to express a greater gratitude for my own personal growth in faith?…. Or is it just for me to understand the PHASE which I am NOW in… and learn to truly be grateful for the brilliance of faith beaming straight through history into the present moment… with a PURPOSE of RESOLUTION!!!

hold on… watch out for this space…. God’s Mysterious Ways in Dee’s life is unfolding… a truth RECEIVED and SHARED is a TRUTH lived!!!

FoodAthon!!

If the love of life was the food that we ate then food shall be by thought this post and I post this in memory of the yummy meals that followed each other to this moment of sheer joy of writing this piece!!

All started a joyful Tuesday afternoon when my sister Roopa and my nephew Veer were expected home to stay with us for the rest of the week… Oh what a wonderful beginning for it came with a surprise… Roopa invited me to meet up with her at a restaurant close to our home called The Tibet Kitchen!!! On the menu was Fried Wantons, Momos, Hot and Sour soup and noodles… you think this would be enough… well we ordered another 2 plates of wantons and were almost in the frame of mind of getting in another plate of momo’s till there wasn’t too much space in the stomach… may I add that this was ONLY the beginning.

My nephew Veer so liked the lady who was serving that he kept looking for her and smiling… ha ha ha ha… at 4 years and 4 months even Veer knows how to appreciate a pleasant looking woman… most men need to begin to take lesson’s from children… I guess!!

That evening I decided to conquer a new fear… I wondered if I could actually take readymade masala and make a lip smacking dish that would force the family to indulge in some more food …. and so… we got back home… ordered some chicken and decided that dinner would be SHAAN CHICKEN KORMA I wish I had taken a picture of the empty box of the masala to give you a personal reason to find it at a store close to you and try it for yourself… super easy and super tasty!! All it took was frying of onions… chicken…. dahi and an empty stomach to fill… awesome!!! So, before we three sister’s went to sleep on Tuesday night… we’d filled ourselves to the brim and slept in satisfaction of knowing that we’d eaten too much!!

Wednesday afternoon I don’t think we were ready to eat at all… there was way too much to sleep over from the previous night and so… it was AVOID food… or fill in the gaps with some chai and buns… till the evening… I guess… except for little Veer who gormendised on chicken and eggs all of us were quite happy simply finishing off the yummy korma from the night before… and on day two… it tasted even better…. WOW… my mouth is watering at the thought of almost a week back!!!

Wednesday night, Prema and Mom left for Prema’s house… to begin the planned trip to Ajmer… and our food binge continued… we had friends over for dinner… Ashok and his brother Alok… would assault a new receipe… another of the packeted wonders… it was such a pleasure to cook and within a matter of minutes the house was flavourful. Before Roopa could come to the kitchen and ask if I needed help the Biryaani was ready and my mouth had already begun watering. In the meanwhile both our friends arrived and the gossiping began… it had been a while since we’d all found time to hang out together and truly truly communicate!! add the Biryaani to it… and well we headed for a feast… had I known I was going to write this post… I would’ve clicked pictures to upload!!!

Thursday morning it was the South Indian special … Upma… which yes… ALL OF US ate again like we’d been starved the previous night!!! Light only so that we’d have something more inspired for dinner!!

Thursday dinner time: Hot and Sour DeeStyle pork with Noodles… another treat!! Thankfully we were only two of us to stuff our faces fully… Veer isn’t too much of a Porky boy… prefers the noodles and so three of us sat down to finish off the food we only saw for a while till 3 bits of pork were sent straight back to the fridge for namesake so we wouldn’t have to admit to finishing 1/2 kg pork between the two of us!!

Friday morning… and even though we’ve been cribbing that we’ve been over eating… Roopa requested for the famed ALOOO parathas my maid makes… they’re yummy to say the least… and way to yummy to not call them a feast…. Hot Chai… Butter and Parathas… this meal seals the deal for the day and both of us got busy thinking about the night!!!! GOSH HOW MUCH FOOD CAN WE THINK ABOUT!!!! I guess the two of us were falling short of ideas on food… the next step had to be great muslim food again… especially since we discovered that we were going to have friends over again tonight… Shieanne the fourth Rao sister by choice and Ashok!!!!

We decided to get a little adventurous since Shieanne too has the LETS GO attitude like us Rao girls!!! We decided to head to a muslim area in Jamia called Zakhir Nagar where you get the world’s best Nihari I’ve ever tasted… Even though its a place I’d rather not sit around to dine at…. the food is too awesome to miss!!! And so… we hired an auto that would not only take us there… he agreed to wait while we gathered food ;) and we set off in the quest for food!!! Here’s what we bought…. Nihari, Korma, Fried Chicken and tikkas and ofcourse the Khamiri rotis to go with it… We headed home too hungry to wait for Ashok to arrive and began hogging on the chicken… which might I add… is as finger licking good as KFC minus the skin ;) Wonder if the original KFC recipe was from these streets!!! ;) An hour later Askok arrived and the 4 of us chatted till the wee hours of the morning… knowing that all we wanted was to have a lot of food and a lot of talk… not surprising that Shieanne knocked off early enough to miss the main course but promised she would wake up and taste the masaala!!!!

Saturday…. well … the Grand finale of week in food that left us FILLED TO THE BRIM… had to be a visit to the famed Andhra Bhawan!!! Thali and Mutton fry… what else could one ask for… filled to the brim…. satiated… surprised… and super super happy to have enjoyed all meals without giving up… wondering if we could possibly launch a “while I was eating” show for Indian women…. and have people invite us over to their homes for us to taste their cooking and write about it… How awesome would that be!!!

I’m headed back to the kitchen right NOW to cook up and awesome meal for Mom and I… wondering if the best idea would be to keep in simple ;)

THE VERDICT!!!

The drama unfolded as expected and a lot of perspectives got in the way of the need of the hour. I am but a silent bystander in the drama sharing the thoughts of an individual not tickled by history but watching HISTORY in the making as the perspective views on the ISSUE continue to raise new loopholes and dig new graves.

There will never be a VERDICT right by ALL and therefore there will never be a solution liked by all!! The truth being felt is the power of the larger community versus the minority and the smugness of senior politicians celebrating the “making of the RAM MANDIR at the site the CLAIMED to be the birthplace of Lord Ram. That NOW the court has BELIEVED to be true as per their claim”.

I stand and watch the Muslim faces go small and the Hindu’s gloat at a victory OF CLAIM. I am asking myself, do they truly understand the REAL meaning or can they see the BIGGER PICTURE of where this verdict could possibly lead… maybe NOT… they are just looking for a PLEASE ALL verdict and hence… it is hailed by the larger community to be a step in the RIGHT DIRECTION!!

I look around wondering how many different perspectives there could be to this… and how many generations later will the suffering continue in the name of religion or religious beliefs, which are not born of our personal experiences with religion, they are in fact the HAND ME DOWN notes of the Generation of the past that continue to hold us to ransom many many many years later! As I read the Wikipedia on this information I was surprised… it’s funny how the HINDUS have always CLAIMED without proof or planted proof and then laid claim!! Ha ha ha… you have to read this!! Ayodhya Debate

As I continue to listen to the many voices that speak… I continue to understand the THOUGHT of the present moment… it’s like the OC just wanting to get through the CWG… short term success without figuring out ways to sustain it the growth they’ve begun to realise through the efforts made by ALL.

In my thought, this is a verdict that should’ve simply been handed over to the country to vote, give them 3 choices… and put the country to vote!! Add this to the weightage of the court verdict, bring in the point of view of the litigants and let it be a part of India’s greatest REALITY SHOW!!

The fact that there was no communal violence is proof enough to let the government know that the people of this country are way beyond the narrow thought processes of the past and are seriously aiming for a better and safer future for themselves and their children. I often fear for my unborn children, the very thought that they’re headed for this world brings me to the point where In my own wonderful way I’d like to contribute to their “RELIGIOUS FIGHTING FREE” world.

For when God created the world I guess he intended for us to LIVE and LET LIVE not play the game of SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST, like we’re all concluding. There is no resource less for even one of God’s creation… WHY THEN MUST WE FIGHT!!!

A thought away…

For the longest time I’ve been blogging I’ve always felt the need to write to you that which has touched my thoughts… often, these thoughts have no real relevance at the time and yet as time passes by the thought becomes a reality before my eyes and I wonder, “Did I not know this before??”

It has been such a surprising journey of thought becoming things that somewhere down the years, I’ve learnt to be a little laid back… in the knowing that the thought WILL eventually become a thing and that I will always KNOW when to take the BABY STEP required to ALLOW it to MANIFEST!! I’ve allowed myself the pleasure of learning with leisure for I KNOW God know’s what I’m meant to do! 

In wanting to set up my business 9 months ago I learned a brand new lesson, which has held me in really good stead and should be super helpful for you too if this is the path you’re on the edge of choosing.

It takes but a single THOUGHT to change your whole life and this is the truth the way I know it. It is the power of the thought that hold you for much longer than the circumstances it creates to check on your level of commitment to the thought itself! I can promise you that personally I’ve had a million second thoughts and third thoughts and fourth thoughts… and the learning has been that my first thought… DeePositive… was the strongest and most confident of them all and so, 9 months later I am still being DeePositive!

Here’s to all of you who are seeking a new direction or contemplating a change from where you ARE!!! Spend some quality time with your thoughts… write them down… let them fill you with their presence and knowledge… let the thoughts begin to become you… and when the thought that you’re going to live for the rest of your life finds you… it will shine brighter than the other and radiate farther than every other thought. It will grow on you, bring new ideas and lead you to a completely new reality… which in time you will find out… well… is your PURPOSE in this life!

All else found EXPRESSION when DeePositive found Dee!!!

19 hours later!!!

In the spirit of UNDERSTANDING perspectives lies the TRUE art of LIVING…. Just thought that one of the most memorable conversations on FB needed to be saved for future reference…. there will be perspectives which will change… the verdict will change and OUR point of OBSERVATION will change…
Change is the brilliant GIFT of Creation and Every Creation is a brilliant Gift of CHANGE!!!
There will be MORE REASONS to remember this discussion… don’t ever want the debate to die down!! And the  discussion began with an update on facebook…
Deepanjali Rao WOW!! After listening to the VERDICT... it is OBVIOUS that they have JUSTIFIED the DEMOLITION of the BABRI MASJID as being RIGHT by RELIGIOUS SENTIMENT and APPROVED by LAW.

Babar, the ruler, had demolished many temples in his life time to build mosques, as his showcase of power over local groups and hindus, because of which, both the religions are facing the brunt even till today. What was originally something, it has all the rights to be that originally something, now.

      true but, I really respect the whole Ayodhya's history, which is passed and written in multiple books over thousands of years. I dont know if youre on the same page! :S There was more to that period/era, than we know. I have a personal, con...nection with this history, so Im kinda pissed with what babar and other mughals have done to this country. All the prominent mughal architecutre that we see today, are built on demolished ancient hindu heritage spots. Sites, which were even more than 5000+ years old. I hate the guts of such religious leaders. I wish we dont see such a trend coming in the future. Though, I would love to know, what was there at Taj Mahal, before shahjahan got it built by hindu labour! And poor India, always been attacked, by this or that, always been conquerd by mulsim or christians or chinese and have always been defending.

      ‎@Dee: Thats the thing, questions always have the answers, you can see them in yours. @ Soyna: It is very much important to fix history. Did you know recently, they discovered King Tut wasnt african and Alexander was not Greek! Fixing histo...ry means, fixing a lot of conflicts, coz most of the conflicts happen coz of past, and non coz of present or future.
      What future holds for us, we cant envision, but yes, we can calculate and be humble. Go read about Mecca, and the cornerstone of it. In the end, everything is same, just the intentions of muslim conquerers have always been about, destroy the existing to prove the power and show them how we can insult their pride by rebuilding on their own. How many Shiva temples were destroyed in our history. Shiva is not Hindu, its vedic by the way, a religion or should i say way of life, which has been existing way before book religions came into this world. Shiva, is simply the black eternal stone. Anyway, Im a strong believer of fixing past, without that, you cannot have a future. We need a foundation, without that, not even your body can stand, even that needs two feet.See More

      I believe ppl hv been widely mistaken abt the whole issue. Its as simple as A had a house.. B breaks n builds a new house, which is encroachment. A wants his rights.. to get his house back so both go to the court.. the court based on facts ...gives A the rights back to build a new house thr.. thts it. Just coz it is abt a community we make it communal.
      Now for this I dont see why C needs to feel insecure unless thr is any violation. Now B cannot argue that his fundamental rights r taken away.

      The TRUTH is ONLY AS REAL AS OUR PERSPECTIVE of a SITUATION!! We need to OBSERVE the TREND... It is most IMPORTANT TO BE INDIAN at this POINT... and HISTORY is ONLY THE PERSPECTIVE of the AUTHOR who wrote it... it is HIS/HER thoughts... The... TRUTH of OUR GENERATION is FAR FAR AWAY from THE TRUTH IT IS PROJECTED TO BE!!! Don't we all know that... and this is true for the ERAs gone by... and ERA's to COME!
      History will always be NOTED as the EDUCATED version of what HAPPENS... the TRUTH will only come from THOSE who are LIVING it... and they are THE UNSUNG HERO's :))See More

      Soyna.. i wdnt juggle with words here.. the only point is what is fact and what is not... I am with the Judiciary for the underlying facts... which is available to the public. What is not available is none of my concern. If trow supreme cou...rt tells something else I will be open to accept that also.. based on new facts which come up.
      I personaly am not with or for any side. For me idealy it wd be landmark decision to make adjucent Mosque n Temple whr all can go n pray.... let all know that humanity is above religion.... and that India is above religion and to show the world that yes.. we can co-exist with love, mutual respect and harmony.
      Blaming n debating is very easy whr one can put down owr fellow countrymen... some political party.. or community... Looking at the brighter side is difficult.. needs openness of heart and mind.. and acceptance.
      Seems some of you guys were expecting some different judgment ??See More

    • Bhuvanesh Singh Manhas Woah! When did all this become about religion! Im only a fan of fixing history! I guess, we all are too adamant to see everything from our own perspective... and thats the end for most of us! And lets none of us be shallow enough, that we know it all. Oh and @Soyna: Hinduism isnt a religion, its a way of life, just like budhism... Religions are: Islam and Christanity.

    • Bhuvanesh Singh Manhas oh and @Soyna: http://www.eutimes.net/2010/06/king-tuts-dna-is-western-european/ DNA is proof, what else would you need to believe in someones origin? Its far from interpretation, its a logical explanation. Now thats different, if you dont believe in DNA!

    • Bhuvanesh Singh Manhas What ASI has used to find out the proof for existence of Original structure to bring a more balanced result in the case, to settle a war is called 'carbon dating', which is a scientific process of archeology. Lets all just shut up and be more educated or sshould I say, aware and updated about whats happening around us. Why are we all so judgmental, such a pitty!

    • Bhuvanesh Singh Manhas Wiki: Can be edited, but go ahead try it, and Wiki will fix it back within 24 hrs. There are books, from which wiki has updated all that! How kiddish to even bring that into discussion here... Its super fanny, that we question others' research platform, rather being concerned how much we ourselves know... Sad too.

    • Bhuvanesh Singh Manhas sorry, forgot to mention, Where did love for BJP come from? That was completely overboard and weird! I hate religious politicians, why would I find like minded people amongst them... Maybe you should, coz they are judgmental and laid back and pretty easy to mould! And Dee, stop loving it, remember the saying, everything takes a full circle and finds whose responsible and gives a big one, return!?
