A Hibiscus.

I love hibiscuses.Because of the hybrid varieties grown,nowadays,these flowers are having very different hues.But I love the orange one though I have shown a pink one here.

The leaves of a hibiscus bush is used to shampoo one's hair and I still do it when I find inclined to do so.The hair does look shiny and just silky to touch.One might feel like lying down and just shut one's eyes and just be thoughtless on such a day.It is the luxury of doing nothing.

Of Late.

Of late I am reading crime as reported by the media.I am watching them in T.V.'s too and reading in Newspapers too.I am unable to comment on whether it is good to report so elaborately interfering in police investigations.In what way is this interference?The police new perhaps to limelight just revealed all they know and there have been judgement by the public including S.M.S 'ed opinions and discussions.Unfortunately the the cases did not get solved.

I feel the role of the parents become so important in such an open society.I also feel anger management should be given some place in curriculam too.Also in work places.One T.V. showed the supposed actions by the supposed criminal step by step.I could not watch it and I wonder what must be the emotions of others including children,teenagers who watch them?I hope this country looks at itself sometimes now which is imminent,lest you have a monster of a problem of abnormality on hand.

A New Perception.

I was thinking about 'Happiness',and 'Unhappiness'.Today I was watching a channel as I was surfing the T.V.The woman talking was saying that the defenition of 'happiness' is the state of mind depending on external resources.Real happiness does not depend on external sources.

I am working on this.

A Conclusion.

"Yesterday is gone,Today is Just Being and Tomorrow is Yet To Be".......This quote is my own.
I am having this thought since many days.I have been reading philosophy since some years now. I have been practising meditation too since last 15 years.Since I always think,I have tried to get a proper perspective on this life and its meaning through my anlysis of all I read and applying them to life situations.I was getting perturbed that most times I am not able to implement what I think is right because the people in relatioship with me has not been agrring with what I want to be applied.

So in order to practise what one wants in day to day relationships,what I have found is that if one person is dominating in a household that person's principles are what get implemented.So sometimes I can be 'good'only within me.I have landed on many occasions in situations where I am unable to implement what I preached or promised.As an example I can quote the action of letting a house for rent.I just see that house is kept clean.I do not mind market rent etc.The dominant person does not think this is correct.So a mess ensues.So also a guest is landing and I want to be cordial and welcoming and the dominant person thinks that the guest is rather overstaying and taking advantage and do not want to be kind as it is his trait not to be overly friendly.Here my social instinct that I be kind only occurs but consistant implementation does not occur.

So waht is the solution?Do what you can,but sometimes it will not ensure the result that one wants?Then?Do not be sad,'Life Is always Like That'.
