Sunderblogger.190 that many of us are apt to equate happiness and success with money, material wealth and possessions,” is a belief born of sheet ignorance. You cannot be happy just because you live in a mansion or a penthouse apartment. You cannot be achieving peace and inner harmony just because you drive a Mercedes or a BMW. You cannot be considered `successful` just because you are a millionaire. The happiest people are not the ones who make money, buy property and own stocks. The happiest people are those who cultivate the higher mind and think in interesting thoughts. Kind Regards Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.189 our attitude towards other in our workday life reflects like this “Day after day countless creatures are going to the above of heaven yet those that remain behind believe themselves to be immortal”. We believe that what happens to others will not happen to us. We apply different stands to evaluate our own behavior and that of others in all fields of activity. The `other`, across cultures, has been seen variously as a friend- an extension of oneself- or as a foe posing a threat to one`s freedom. The other has been seen by some as deserving our concern or respect, by some as an opportunity for solidarity or mutual transformation, and by some typically as an unwelcome practical, political or cultural limitation. The other can be the ethnic, other, the cultural other, the religious other, the national other or simply the other gender. Kind Regards Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.186 Indian Men go for looks Looks-conscious Indian males take to grooming & beauty treatments. Shaving, waxing and laser, the three modern warheads in mankind`s timeless fight against bod hair, are being aggressively deployed these days in a country where facial and torso hair once separated the men from the boys Disposal income spent by men on grooming is growing at a faster rate than by women. This can be estimated from the fact that, most men`s personal care categories are seeing faster growth At one skin clinic, the average billing by male consumers in the past few months has overtaken by a small margin that of female clients who spend around r.7000 Kind Regards Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.187 In our life we seem to assume and ascribe false identities. We tend to hold a person responsible for what he did; good or bad, when spiritual wisdom says that we are not the doers; the divine phenomenon behind creation, the doer. Thus, we deify someone when he obliges us in a significant way. On the other hand, if are hurt in some way by someone`s act of commission or omission. We nurse an enmity against him. Kind Regards!

Sunderblogger.185 Seriousness is a disease, but seriousness has been praised, respected, honored. It was absolutely essential to be serious to be saint; hence only people who were incapable of laughter become interested in religion. And people who are incapable of laughter are not human yet- what to say about their being divine? That is impossible- they have not yet become human. Hence I have tremendous respect for the sense of humor; for laughter. Laughter is far more sacred that prayer, because prayer can be done by any one, It does not require much intelligence, Laughter requires intelligence. It requires presence of mind, a quickness of seeing into things. A joke cannot be explained; either you understand it or you miss it. If it is explained it loses the whole point; hence no joke can be explained. You get it immediately or you can try to find out the meaning of it; you will find out the meaning, but the joke will not be there. It was in the immediacy. Regards Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.184 To attain wisdom, we must purify the mind by making It free of all impure thoughts. First empty your mind; only then you can make room for wisdom to come in. Prepare the mind to face situations in a way that enables you to harness its potential. Living with a mind that is narcissist will impede progress. A life that is full of ego leaves no room for receptivity as one thinks about nothing else other than its own self. In order to receptive to truth, one must make the effort to be ready to recognize and receive the truth. Human beings have become conditional entities on account of habit. It is this conditioning that is a major obstacle on the path. To be able to overcome this hurdle, we must be ready to revisit existing ideas; be willing to rise above all kinds of biases and prejudices and become receptive to truth that may come from anywhere.

Sunderblogger.183 Religion has been missing one very fundamental quality; the sense of humour; It`s unfortunate, because it has made religion sick. A sense of humor is an essential part of the wholeness of man. It keeps him healthy, young and fresh. And for centuries the sad people have dominated religion. They have expelled laughter- from churches, mosques and from temples. The day laughter enters back into the holy places they will be really holy, because they will be whole. Laughter is the only quality that distinguishes man from other animals. Only man can see the ridiculous, the absurd. Only he has the capacity and the consciousness to be aware of the cosmic joke; it is not a serious affair. [will continue in next]. Best Wishes! Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.180 in India, only one-third population lives in towns and cities. In Bihar in 2001 it was only 10%. India`s towns and cities desperately need fixing. Half of Mumbai lives in slumps, which is a natural disgrace. At the same time, we may have to think of building completely new cities and destroying older ones. That is a scary thought, but a time may come when it is better to destroy than to rehabilitate. Human habitation is not permanent, and India has several examples of urban settlements that were abandoned. We need to look long and hard at the future of urban policy and contemplate the best and the worst. Best Wishes! Sunder Thadani

There is the weak Indian state. A strong state is one that has decision-making, implementation, regulatory, adjudicatory, and enforcement capacity. On all these, India is pathetically week. Here are some sumbers. India has 700, diplomats, same as Belguim. The IAS has 5,000 officers, one per 250,000 people. We have 560 MPs,one for every two million people. Bothe Britain and Sri Lanka have one MP for every 90,000 people. There are 31 milion cases pending in the Indian judicail system. The upper courts alone have a bcklog of 4 million and the Supreme Court has 50,000. India has 1.2 judges per 100,000 people: the ration in Austraia is three times, and in the US nine times better.This is with 1.2 billion people; imagine the situation in 2050 when the population will be 1.7 billion.

The quantity and quality of education in India at every level is woeful; we figure nowwhere in the world rankings of school and university education, and 26% of Indians are still illiterate. If the rest of the world and especially Asian countries have forged ahead, it is because after 1945 they took care of education. The Governmen`s record on public health is equily abysmal. It expenditure on health is $43 per capita campared to $87 in Sri Lanka. this is the lowest of the BRIC countries, amounting to less than2% of GDP. More than food security bills and MGNEREGA, we n need universal health coverage. Kind Regards! Sunder T

Sunderblogger.175 Sub: Think India. India thrives on contradictions like no place else; any visitor, tourist, or business representative can expect the unexpected. Relying on a trusted Indian friend to act as buffer and to protect one from culture shock is helpful in this sometimes highly confusing country. At your hotel, they may not serve beef because of the reverence Hindus hold for the cow. Yet you may hear the conversation of Hindu man from Kerala seated at a nearby table telling his wife on a cell phone that he will return home tomorrow and would prefer a beefsteak for dinner. In a temple, where you might expect more familiar rules and behavior, you could be truly shocked to witness a sadhu (a holy man who customarily wears orange) amble in nonchalantly completely nude.

Sunderblogger.174 India’s Unlimited Opportunities. With an average GDP growth rate of 8% each year there has been a lot to cheer abut in India.

Sunderblogger.173 Sunderblogger.173 There are two angles – good and bad- in the course of everyone`s life. The good angles encourages us to hear the inner voice of consciousness and he bad angles discourages s from listening to it, and influence us to focus instead only on materialistic ambitions for power and wealth. Light and sight fall in the category of good angles and are supplementary to each other. Sight has no benefit in the absence of light, and similarity, the presence of light makes no difference to the sightless. Kind Regards! Sunder Thadani
