Oath of an Indian Army Officer!!!

The Armed Forces of India i.e., Indian Army, Indian Airforce and Indian Navy will always have a very special place in my heart for what they represent. I came to  know about these brave hearts of India only during the Kargil Conflict in 1999 when I was in my 8th grade. Since then I have a huge respects for these Men in uniform.

I never had 'THE STUFF' to make it into Indian Army except for deep love of My Nation and its people. But nevertheless , I'm always fascinated towards it. I had a great privilege of interacting with Armed forces and visiting their places which was once in a life time opportunity. My fascination took me to a journey of understanding them a better through wars that they fought, their tactics, challenges faced , mental agony and utmost bravery displayed against all odds to win the battle etc. These things have increased my sense of respect for these men to a new level.

Coming to one particular thing that I get connected to very much is the Oath of an Indian Army officer, which I 'm going to write it down here. 

"I  hereby solemnly swear that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of India,as by law established and that I will, as in duty bound honestly and faithfully,serve in the regular Army of the Union of India and go wherever ordered, by land, sea or air,and that I will observe and obey all the commands of the President of the Union of India and the commands of any officer set above me, even to the peril of my life."

I came to know about Oath through the movie "lakshya", where a particular scene was dedicated for this Oath ceremony.  Here is the Oath scene from the Movie " Lakshya".

 This scene always gives me goosebumps whenever I see it. This scene was executed to perfection. It is because of this Oath that they are bounded to, which makes them to execute their tasks putting their lives at risk . It is because of this Oath that the people of this Nation are able to have good night sleep with their families while these men guard our borders against evil forces working to demoralize this Nation. My salutations to these great men and their responsibility that are dutifully fulfilling.  I almost see this once in every week to remind myself of my duty towards My Nation.

In all, I take pride in being a great supporter of Indian armed forces. Their discipline , courage , traditions and love for the Nation is what  needs to be inculcated in every citizen of this Nation for its Prosperity and Peace.

Lastly I leave you with this Instrumental Intro music from the Movie "Lakshya" which inspires me a lot. Hope you enjoy it too.  Just remember to take pride in being Indian and supporter of Indian Armed Forces. This is least thing they can expect from us apart from respect and honour.

Stay Happy and keep smiling

YES!! I AM AN ORGAN DONOR

I always enjoyed giving something to others and make their lives peaceful and happy. This brings a great joy to my heart and I always enjoyed doing it no matter whatever I need to face it on my side. In the end, I always ensure that the other person is happy. I just love giving and I'm not boastful of myself as I don't expect anything in return;). I'm sharing this on my blog because I know very well that not many read by blog ;). I just wanted to say simply that I enjoy giving without any expectations from others.

Continuing this tradition of giving ,  I wanted to ensure that I leave my legacy even when I'm gone. I mean when I'm dead. I felt the most effective way to help out when you are gone is by donating your organs to others who are in need of it.So I immediately registered myself along with my good old friend Karthik on October 23rd , 2013 to Mohan Foundation which is dedicated to inspire people to donate their organ after death.Check out their website for more info regarding organ donations.

This Donor card I always carry in my wallet

We can donate the following organs Kidneys , Eyes, Heart, Lungs, Liver, Pancreas , skin and save upto 8 lives which is a huge impact we can have after we are dead. I hope I would be helpful in the same to whatever extend possible after I'm dead. 

The Important aspect of this donation is that the consent of my family to carryout this after I'm dead. Of course , they readily agreed to me when I told them  about my organ donation. But I'm not quite sure what would be circumstances my family has to go through and get this done after I 'm dead. I hope it would bring some happiness to them after I'm gone. 

So guys here I'm pledging my organs to be donated after I'm dead and hope my family and friends would get this thing done for me. I hope it inspires you to do the same.

Here is an inspiring 21 years old boy Thota Manikanta who was  declared brain dead after  an accident and upon his family consent all his organs were donated. His organs can now save upto 8 lives!!! . This has happened on  March 7th ,2015 which inspired me to write this post. I dedicate this post to this boy who will continue to live on forever through his organs.

Here is the link below to  the news article that came in THE HINDU in which a detail description of  the efforts of everyone i.e.,Family, friends, Doctors, Police and traffic police in making sure to fulfill this boy's last wish by creating a Green Channel was executed to perfection . Hatsoff to everyone.

         "Brain dead man gives new life to 8 persons"

 

Here is a video which shows the response of the people who stood by the roadside to pay respects to this boy by showing flowers . Watch till the end.

Stay Happy and Keep Smiling

ICC Cricket World Cup 2015

We, Indians are born to play and watch cricket. And a world cup is just a feast to everyone which comes every four years. Like every Indian, I have grown up watching Cricket and learning from it. I remember vaguely my first ever World cup which I have watched when I was in my 6th grade i.e.,1996. It was mesmerizing event for me as the God of Cricket -Sachin Tendulkar scored a massive 591 runs in all matches India. played ,though India lost in semi-final against Sri Lanka.

Since then I have become an ardent fan of cricket watching every match possible.Lately after World cup 2011 in which India won it and with the advent of T-20 format of the game, it has become too much for me to take.  With too much cricketing tournaments every now and then had made me lose the zeal to watch them with interest.But nevertheless , I'm a supporter of my Indian Cricket Team and wish them to win this time too. 

During our school days, I remember how we used to play cricket every weekend with our seniors with a bet of Rs.10/- with each member of team contributing to Rs. 1/- . If we won the match a reward of Rs. 1/- shall be offered and in total your amount goes to Rs. 2/- per match which is huge amount in those days. Now whenever I think of this , it puts on a smile on my face. Those were some of the best days of my life and I have to come in terms with life that gone are those days. 

Coming to present World cup 2015 which is hosted jointly by Australia and New Zealand from 14 February to 29 March 2015 made me bring back my interest to watch cricket once again. Defending Champions India will have tough time to retain cup this time. But Indian team is very well prepared and equipped with right strategies and individuals to deliver the best.  I'm sure this time it will be tough for any one to take cup away from India.

 Having said this , the Indian team supporters and advertising agencies have come up with some really funny way to convey support to our team. I'm sure this is one of the best advertisements I have seen so far campaigning support to Indian cricket team. I 'm sure after watching this you would agree with me too. 

Here , I'm going to present to you these advertisements in sequence to the matches being played by India. 

The Indian Cricket team started its first match on Feb 15th , 2015  with arch rivals Pakistan whom we have beaten every time we met them in world cup. Here is a advt pertaining to it which is quite funny. Watch it and enjoy.

The match with Pakistan was completely dominated by Indians and India won it comfortably beating Pakistan once again. ( Just keep in mind the person in this advt.)

The next match India played was with South Africa whom we were never able to beat in the World cup and following are advts related to it. 

And in response to this advt , Indian supporters made this really funny advt.

South Africa never won World cup so far which is what is conveyed in funny way in the above advt .

And on the Feb 22nd 2015 , the two teams met on the cricket ground to settle the scores for once and for all. And it was Indian team once again who has dominated the South Africans and comfortably won the match. Way to go India.

With Indian team next match with UAE , Here is a funny advt depicting this scenario in a hilarious way .

Remember the Pakistani guy in first advt , he seems here so desperate to make India lose at any cost and would support any team who has potential to defeat India. Though all this is on lighter side, not really intended to hurt anyone's intentions. 

I'm really enjoying these funny advts and campaign to support India Cricket team , I'm sure with all this support, our team would eventually win this world cup too. Cheers to Indian cricket team. 

I hope to see this World cup trophy 2015 with him like this. All the best Dhoni team. 

Stay Happy and keep smiling

Happy Birthday to My Blog !!!!

Dear readers,  

                   I'm happy to say that this February 27th,2015  my blog will complete its    FIVE  years of existence on the Internet;). Hurray !!! Happy Birthday to my dear blog ;)

Frankly , I never expected that I would carry on blogging for these many years. In fact, in the year 2013, I have posted only once. I was certain that I almost lost interest on blogging and should retire from it . But somehow posting my guitar videos kept me going. Of course, I'm not a prolific writer with many things to share , but I do like to write when I feel for something very strongly. I feel very much composed and peaceful whenever I write down my thoughts. I hope I will continue blogging for years to come. 

For this year 2015, as things are getting harder in life , I decided to increase my frequency of posting to say once a week just to deviate myself. I hope to keep my word for this year. Wish me luck;).

This is what I intend to do from now, no matter whatever may be things going on in my life. I will continue to update this blog. Of course , this post wont end without saying thanks from bottom of my heart to all those readers who took time to go through my blog and also share their feelings towards my posts. Your words of encouragement was constant motivation to blog on . A special mention for my dear friend Sai Charan , who constantly encouraged me to blog on throughout these five years.

Anyway ,In the end  I thank YOU  for taking time to go through my blog. As my blog tagline says " Let the world around me be happy that in turn makes me happy.. " . I wish to God to bless you with the best  life possible ever.

Stay happy and Keep Smiling

Happy Valentines Day!!!

We all know that Feb 14th represents the day  dedicated to this special feeling called 'Love'. According to me, love represents a level of understanding that makes you accept other person unconditionally. It makes you shower your affection and care towards them to make them happy.Love represents a great sense of responsibility towards other person that must be fulfilled with great devotion throughout their lives ,no matter whatever may be the disturbances encountered in their journey of life. Love gives you the strength that you could have never imagined and is also capable of making you weaker than ever.

Love transcends the verbal description  and yet everyone craves to be in love. In this 21st century ,I m not quite sure ,how the younger generation define love?.Ofcourse, I'm sure everybody defines love in their own way. This is just what I feel about it. Love exists in every human relationship such as mother-son , brother-sister etc.Since Feb 14th is more dedicated to the couples, here is just a cute video that is  worth sharing and conveys in a beautiful way what love is:)

Here is another powerful video that has a special  message  to everyone, from a cutest couple who are in deep love since ages. Listen to this couple carefully ,whose words are pearls of wisdom.

So,I wish everyone in love, a Very Happy Valentines Day ahead. I hope your love for loved ones blossoms into much more stronger bondage than ever and make your lives much more joyful:)

Stay happy and Keep smiling

Straight from My Heart

For quite some time I haven’t been able to  update my blog the way I wanted. I started blogging with the intention of just sharing what I feel or I do irrespective of whether somebody even reads my blog or not. Though I tried marketing my blog initially but with little success. Sometimes I even do it now , but from now on I won't. Until and unless, I feel its really really  necessary. Because I realized its so weird . I always  found expressing myself through written medium much more comfortable than to speak up, cause it makes you think carefully and brings some sense in you, when you put down something on a paper. What blogging has done to me is to get my thoughts organized to some extent when randomness prevails over me. And this gives me a sense of direction of approach to my life.

At present, chaos rules me. I just can't focus on anything long enough at least to make it productive both on professional as well as on personal level.  I don't know why but suddenly I lost the zeal to push myself at professional level, may be I’m too comfortable in my comfort zone or may be the routine nature of work. I don't know for sure. Infact I have a good job with comfortable salary in my hand and with a designation which is completely a misnomer as far as i’m concerned and which  I never really deserved it. But atleast I feel proud of my work that we do as a team serving the nation, keeping aside designations.

I like to lead a simple life with a peaceful mind frame towards the world around. I’m not driven by the materialistic possession of this world. And to some extend , this school of thoughts has helped me a lot to stay balanced in life. But life started to hit harder than ever to me and my family , which requires me to change my outlook about life and face these odd times. In positive sense, things like these, makes me grow stronger mentally than ever and that is what keeps me going ahead.

Below is the famous quote by famous Chinese Philosopher Lao Ztu which aptly describes the best way of living life.   

Pic Courtesy: InspirationBoost.com

I need to accept this reality and embrace it whole-heartedly and hope for the best that I deserve for all my efforts. The best way I felt to bring a change in life is by reading books , motivational videos ,  helping others , spreading love, blogging, playing guitar, making new friends, making new hobbies, accepting more challenges and responsibilities at professional level and have deeper understanding of life through spiritual way and many more things to do. 

No matter whatever hurdle life throws at me , I should face and embrace it and also be thankful for making me grow stronger than ever.  

"I always pray to God to give strength to make people around me happy and smiling and I should absorb negativity surrounding me and always project the positive vibes from deep within towards others.No matter whatever may be the circumstances."

I hope He listens to me ..

Below is the one of the best speeches that sums up about life from the movie " Rocky balboa". Hope it motivates you too like it did it to me:)
