Footprints...

I don't have anything to comment for this year.
Literally nothing.

Take a look at an apple tree. There might be five hundred apples on the tree, each with ten seeds. That's a lot of seeds. We might ask, "Why would you need so many seeds to grow just a few more trees?"

Nature has something to teach us here. It's telling us: "Most seeds never grow. So if you really want to make something happen, you should better try more than once."

You'll attend twenty interviews to get one job.

You'll interview forty people to find one good employee.

You'll talk to fifty people to sell one house, car, vacuum cleaner, insurance policy, or idea.

And you might meet a hundred acquaintances to find one special friend.

When we understand the 'Law of the Seed', we don't get so disappointed. We stop feeling like victims. Laws of nature are not things to take personally. We just need to understand them - and work with them.

IN A NUTSHELL..

Successful people fail more often. They plant more seeds.

This pic of street lamp was taken by me on my visit to Delhi last week while walking down the Rajpath.. Found it very interesting to paste down the my favourite self-written poem.. Kind of fusion of two of my prominent hobbies.. Photography and writing..:)

Hi frends..

Writing this post after relatively longer time gap.. Two months almost.. At first i was busy with my CA Final exams which ended on 17th of May and then, with GMCS Training at Ahmedabad.. After that, also made a trip to Akshardham, New Delhi last week.

There is nothing on mind as of now to share with u.. Just waiting eagerly for results.. And even dont want to think anything.. not even the results..

The trip to Akshardham was really good to peace up my mind and soul.. I learned to kind of stop back and have a broad look at things i've been doing in my life from in-and-out.. Finding my tune of life these days.. Hope i learn it sooner as it's the high time now..

Today is the 26th Marriage Anniversary of Mom and Dad.. They completed 25 years together.. They've taken leave for this and i m at home as always i usually m these months.. So me too joining their happiness.. Hope i can mulitply their joys next month with results..
Jai Swaminarayan..

TC.
Regards,
Parth

Why it happens that wen we dont get sumthing which we have made so-called "sole object" of our life, we start hating all other good things/persons we already have around us.. That time, no body and nothing can make us happy.. That temporary anger or agony of not having/being something makes us so much weaker and probably meaner.. We even forget the fact that we have got many gr8 things except that.. and also that there are many ppl in the world who r living in a hell darker then we live into..

If you are a ranker and still u dnt get the job u desired, u'll feel like hell.. that time, why one cant think that he actually got sumwhere where all his fellow students wished to.. at that time, only that "lack of desired job" supersedes everything.. every other joy.. this happens with all.. a ranker or a last bencher.. we all want sumthing and wen we dont get that sumthing, all sweet things sound bitter.. We start blaming ourself.. our near ones and even God at times.. the world just seems meaner everyday...

That temporary depression (or watever u call it) shuts our eyes to such an extent that we knowingly turn ourselves off from all the other good things.. And that does nothing except dragging us more into that deep well of darkness and failure..

It's too tough to get out of this.. Not only for us, but for the people around us too.. Our best wishers.. But to remain positive is the only one way to get out.. And that is the only thing one should be doing.. But it's too difficult.. coz u've 86400 seconds in a day and u dnt knw at which second, a negative thought will take over ur mind.. Who would u fight in such situation?? What would u do?? Will u try to conquer urself from negative thoughts or will u try to conquer the outside situation?? The fact is one has to do both and eventually losses himself around...

Everything is possible if we have desire for it.. To change future, we must change our present... Coz "now" is the only thing we have control over.. Patience always have sweet fruits.. Never change the righteous path.. The character of a person is measured by how he stood in his difficult times.. The more u suffer, the more ur chances of success.. The intensity of striving increases the pain for the time but it increases the joy of achievement in multi folds of pain afterwards.. God's always seeing u.. Always with u.. And we have no right to make Him disappointed.. :) :)

20th Jan., 2010
Vasant Panchami.

This is one of the most auspicious days of the year probably with the number of events falling on it.. Signifies the onset of spring. It holds a special significance, since, on this day Bhagwan Swaminarayan presented the 'Shikshapatri' in its final form. It is also the birthday of Brahmanand Swami, Nishkulanand Swami and Brahmaswarup Shastriji Maharaj (founder of the BAPS). And also date wise, it's the date when Mulji Sharma initiated into sadhu-fold. Named Gunatitanand Swami, exactly before 200 years.

But even on this auspicious day, i know, my condition is worse. May be today or tomorrow is my last day at office.. Now the biggest problem is, what next?? What for next four-five months... At least, what in February and March??.. Coz the loneliness only makes oneself weaker..And m not only a loner but also a struggler, a dreamer, a fallen and what not... this is the time when one's inner strength is measured.. I hope at least Maharaj and Swami are on my side.. (And They make me feel that...)

And "probably" i m not writing this blog post for anyone.. i m writing it for myself.. so that after 5 years or so, i can understand whatever i have then, how i have achieved it.

Jai Swaminarayan..

A new morning after results.. As i begin to get into normalcy of routine, the pain starts increasing.. Today got up to an call from one of the office's senior CA members asking abt me.. And instantly i realised how my next few days or probably weeks or months are going to be..

Yaar.. When u fail, the next thing which comes to your mind is next attempt... and immediately, ur mind asks u, what if same thing happens then also? And it's unbearable.. Why me?..

Wow. for the first time m writing a blog from office... feel awkard to use office comp for blog... actually these days, office has become boring lyk nvr befor.. with most of the frnds leaving it.. today, there are no old pals like urvi, jaimin, sanjay here at office.. all are either on leave, have left or on audit... : :(

Okey... so wat shall i type here to roll my tym till 5.30?? hmm... lemme describe the office enviro.. it's pal.. lyk full of morrons.. who 've nthng to do in lyf but just to live.. and i m helplessly trying to pass remaining 2 odd weeks of my articleship anyhow with them here.. it's an awkward situation.. facing the pre-result blues and at the same tym missing the fun and support of frnds..:( but, it's lyf after all... even the nearby Uttarayan seems to have lost it’s charm..

Even after-office hours are not so exciting these days.. going home around 6 in the evening and then realising that there are still 6 hours to pass before sleeping.. oh no... and condition during the weekends is even worse.. today, the last thing on To Do list is to go for my eye check... may be i'll be writing my other posts after this in glasses..:)

Planning to buy a new phone... most probably the Samsung Omnia Pro.. the one with QWERTY key pad.. may be till next weekend.. so may be I write next post with glasses on and with my phone..:) sounds cool isn’t it..:) saw Avatar and 3 Idiots last week.. both are good with their own genres.. the later being bit extra melodramatic... nywys.. will have to sign off for now.. got some work to do.. bye frnds.. tc..

Jai Swaminarayan
