The Joy of Living

It's 9.52 AM on 19th of September, 2026.

Ever heard the phrase 'Become positive and the universe will bow down to you'?

Yes. For some time now I have felt like that and none more than today. Now.

I am 61 years old and to myself at 16 or 26 or 36 it would have seemed like really, really old.

But no, I don't feel like other youngsters would think of me. True, I am older and do not have the vim or vigour of youth. But that does not in anyway take away the essence of me, my life.

Have you not heard of physically challenged people achieving so much in life. Astonishing right? So it is that even as we grow old, if we can think and feel like every day is new and challenging, you will never get old. 

One of the greatest things I have learned lately is that we are fixated with the moment. Few, very few realate to the future and far less to the past. We live and equate our lives to the moment, to our peers, with little or no regard for  things that seemingly are not in touch with you.

Which is why we have the generation gap which should actually be called time gap or peer trap.

But I digress. I was talking of positivity and feeling of peace with the universe. Content , like a baby welll fed and comfortable. 

So I am happy. And absolutely at peace with the world. I am not afraid of living. I am not afraid of dying. I have had a tumultous life but after all that here I am at peace. Wise and weathered well.

This is just a journal of my state of being and I wish everone lives a similar life.

Who's Truly Great?

Truly Great! If one is truly great, one will love all humankind! One will love the good and bad amongst all humanity. The good will be loved with pride, admiration and joy. The bad will be loved with pity and sorry, for one will know - if truly great - that both good and bad qualities of people are often but the results of circumstances over which they have, because of their ignorance, little control. To be truly great, one will be compassionate, sympathetic and tolerant. When compelled to pass judgement upon others, one will temper justice with tender mercy, throwing oneself always on the side of the weak, the uninformed and the poverty-stricken. Thus one will not only go the extra mile in a true spirit of fellowship, but will also go willingly and graciously. And if the second mile be not enough, one must go the third and the fourth, and as many additional miles as may be necessary. - Napoleon Hill (Master Key to Riches)

The Greatest Formulas in the World

I am neither a mathematician or a physicist (or anything close!) but I can appreciate the great things people have done - 100s even 1000s of years ago when they stared at a dark abyss of ignorance. There are arguments on some formulae's discovery but that is left for posterity. (It's a magical world and your children better learn to love numbers - and you can be instrumental in making them love maths!) The greatest - also because it is the simplest - is the one by Pythagoras. (570 - 495 BCE)  (It is also credited to the Babylonians as it is to Indians' way back in 1000 BCE etc.) a 2 +b 2  = c 2 Wow!  The greatest can always be argued. But few will disagree that Einstein 's theory of relativity is there at the top! e = mc 2 In school when we were explained this formula - it was simply "energy can neither be created or destroyed!" Nothing about the speed of light. But then we are too naive... Simply put it means that energy is equal t...

The road to heaven...

Richard A. Dumas : A  corollary:  There's many a slip twixt the grasp and the  grip. Many would assume that a corollary is the opposite of something. I thought so too, in school because some theorems had a corollary.   But it's just an assumption, a preposition. It could also be applied as a reciprocal. But hold on. It is not. Anyway, that aside let us look at some of the well known adages: We know that the early bird get the worm. It could also mean the early worm gets caught. I can imagine most smart alecs are smirking thinking they can get away with anything. I have wondered about this adage in particular: The road to hell is paved with good intentions. So does it mean that the road to heaven is paved with bad intentions? I can see that many would be be apt to agree. The world is full of such people. But no! That's a vehement no! We are looking at the sentence as a whole and coming to our own conclusion. What it means is that good intentions are not enough. W...
