On Hollywood –MGM
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, the legendary 86 year-old Hollywood studio, is filling for bankruptcy. This relates to Hollywood`s style of functioning, marred by overblown budgets, unreal plots, unsure narratives and seeking novelty mixed with realism. In contrast stands Bollywood, the Hindi film industry steadily expanding over the globe. Bollywood`s themes are constantly energized by everyday culture and mythology while increasingly including edgy, experimental stories.
Winner of 205 Oscars over the years, it is extraordinary that a studio of MGM`s stature should see such days. Despite holding 4,000 film titles including the sparkling James Bond series, the studio, bought in 2005 by a Sony-led consortium, has been plagued by debts of four billion dollars. It is anticipated that its lenders will now take over most of MGM, forcing it to re-scale operations. MGM`s crisis reflects greater troubles within Hollywood itself. In recent years, American cinema has increasingly been treated not as ‘show business` but pure business. Films have been based on market strategy, distribution networks and commercial calculations as opposed to simply being cinema that delights and thrills viewers through the forceful creativity driving it. Once, MGM made iconic films like Gone with the Wind, BenHur, The Wizard of Oz and Rocky. In recent times, despite the hype and hoopla surrounding Hollywood, it is hard to think of many movies which will live beyond their times, seeping into popular memory the world over.

The subject is: Happiness Is Not Everything
The idea of happiness is a kind of ignorance. If your understanding is healthy,
then you will never give too much importance to happiness; we do so because
of our ignorance. Happiness is not the idea, purpose or aim of life;
happiness is a consequence, a fruit.
Happiness is a subject of the senses. The scope of the senses is limited and
the senses are completely unaware of the greatness of life.
If you are just following your senses, you are indulging them.
Understand the game of the senses, and then go beyond them.
Discover that portion of life, that part of life that can give us something permanent,
the highest knowledge of life, the highest clarity in life.
What we understand by happiness lies on the surface.
When you live at a deeper level, you give importance to clarity of consciousness
which gives you information on the purpose of your existence; it gives you purpose.
Once this is clear everything come to you, including contentment and balance.
Best Wishes!

Choose Your Options with Care.
Everyday in our life, we perhaps have some kind of bad experience, big or small. One has two options: either ignore them or react. The first option is a form of forgiveness, while the other amounts to engagement and in some cases, even revenge.
Which is the better option?
Forgiveness is a better option for it is based on a proven formula: `save yourself`. Forgiveness saves you from distraction, it saves your time, and it saves you from creating more problems. Forgiveness could amount to an instant solution to the problem.
In contrast, reaction and emotional revenge means turning the bad into worse, for revenge tends to worsen the problem. If forgiveness is buying time, revenge is just wasting time without hope of any positive result.
“To error is human, but to forgive is divine” For the core, aren`t we all really divine beings?

India is emerging as managerial number one in the world.
In 2009 Indian companies have raised billions from global markets, to finance foreign takeovers, and internal
expansion. This far exceeded the inflow of foreign direct
investment [around $10 billion].
This is the real revolution of 2006, India as left
behind the stage of being seen as global suppliers of
soft ware, generic drugs and auto components. It is now
seen as a global managerial power, one that can take over
multinationals across the world and improve their
performance. So, global financiers are tripping over
one another to fund foreign acquisitions by Indian
companies.
The world now believes that Indian are excellent managers,
better than those in several American and European countries
Hundreds of Indian companies have become MNCs with growing
empires.
Day is not far, when ICIC Bank takes over Citibank, when
Infosys acquired IBM, when Reliance takes over Exxon; and
Tata Motors take over General Motors, and of course Times
of India should take over the New York Times.

According to Akamai Technologies’ latest State of the Internet report, India has currently 2.1 million unique IPs, which means the country has 0.002 IPs per capita or two unique IP addresses per 1,000 people. An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique 32-bit number, which identifies a computer in an IP network.
The State of the Internet report also reveals that the percentage of broadband connections from India with speeds above 5 Mbps (high broadband) and 2 Mbps (broadband) are 0.6 per cent and 4.6 per cent respectively. The percentage of connections with speeds less than 256 Kbps from India is 26 per cent.
Sanjay Singh, vice president, Global Services and Support, Akamai Technologies, has said, “Our global network of 36,000 servers across 70 countries enables us to offer unique insight into how the internet is being leveraged around the world. While the report notes that India has just two unique IPs per 1,000 people on average, we believe India’s internet penetration will significantly increase in the coming years, thanks in part to the economic boom and increasing IT adoption.”

it is feeding the inner
world wherein in each one us a `sage` dwells.
Once connected to this sage our decisions are taken from deep within
and we no longer need approval of others. A peaceful life is essentially a simple one and hence effortless.
The sheer simplicity of peaceful life is a magnet that attracts,
for deep within we identify with it. To be simple is not something external;
we have to become simple and natural from within, be open to our own 1internal self1,
and perform actions knowing where they are leading to. One has to consciously
bring about this change, as “to change externally is just a cosmetic change;
it is feeding the inner world wherein in each one us a `sage` dwells.
Once connected to this sage our decisions are taken from deep within
and we no longer need approval of others.
Best Wishes!

In the ICE (information, communication,
and entertainment) age, life is characterized by stiff competition. The anxiety
to keep ahead in the rat race and the urge to garner material benefits is
ripping us apart. Relationships have taken a beating and marriage is losing its
sheen. From a marriage of convenience it has now transformed into a game of
compromises. Giving each other space, understanding work cultures and the
pressure that comes along, sharing domestic responsibilities top the list.
Partners need to have faith in each other, shed their egos and be ready to talk
things out instead of fighting. Practicality is the word. Along with an
easy-going attitude, there should be the zeal to support their respective
families. It is necessary to draw the demarcating line between personal and
professional lives. Being supportive of each other regarding professional
decisions, coming up with suggestion but not imposing upon the partner are
important for a successful marriage.

sunderblogger.047. How do we live our daily life, not theoretically, philosophically or idealistically, but actually how do we live our daily life? If we examine it, it is a constant battle, constant struggle, effort after effort. What shall we do? It comes down to that. Can we change our life? Is it possible? Because conflict is part of violence. This constant struggle to be something in the world, economically, socially, as well as inwardly, is the basis of our life.

Boredom is a state of mind in that state, nothing appeals to us, nothing excites us,
and ad nothing interests us. Boredom is not something that hits us from outside;
It`s nothing external. It is not like day and night or like the seasons that are inevitable.
Boredom is the mind, though it might be related to the presence or absence of people,
events or material elements that are outside the person
The most common reason for boredom is when one does not have anything worthwhile
to do. Take up a hobby, call up old friends or relatives, start writing a journal, learn
a new art like drawing, painting, or music, remember all the things you wanted to do,
but could not do due to a genuine lack of time.
Like everything, boredom too has its benefits, if you use the time effectively, and creatively.
Otherwise, you can keep complaining that you are bored, and waste the one and
only life that God has given you, in a bored, mundane fashion. Feeling bored is
also a choice- no one is stopping you from going ahead and doing all those things
that could make your life interesting or exciting, except yourself.

Prime Minister Narnendra Modi has enunciated an excellent principle by stating that life stories of living individuals should not be part of school text book. This came in response to move by Gujrat, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan governments- all of them BJP ruled- to introduce a chapter on his life in their school textbooks. One of the reasons the Indian education system does not deliver the goods today is that it is overly politicized.
Kind Regards!

Destroy those envying roots and
enjoy lasting peace. Just be aware when the feeling of jealousy arises, and you
will be surprise, it simply disappears. Jealousy cannot be overcome either by
escaping from it or hating the object of jealousy.
Understand the way out of jealousy is not be surprising it or denying its existence.
Expressing and encouraging it is also not the way because then you are not ready
to face he jealousy with awareness. Just watch how jealousy arise in you,
how it develops into hatred for the object of jealousy, how it creates restlessness
and frustration inside you and make you lose all of your peace and calm.
Do not condemn the object of jealousy. The object has not generated the
emotions from outside. The jealousy is happening inside you. The fire of jealousy
can just consume you completely if you don’t control it with the fire extinguisher of
you awareness. Once you witness your jealousy with awareness, you will realize
that it does not have a basis for existence at all. When this happens jealously
will drop automatically. You won`t have to drop it.
Best Wishes!

There are two important days in our life. The first is the day we are born. The second is the day we realize why we are born. But for many people, this second day never comes. They live mechanically from the day they are born until the day they die. We will only be able to appreciate the beauty and magnitude of life when we realize it true purpose.
To enjoy freedom, to be more aware, we need to liberate the mind from needless thoughts. When we develop awareness, we gain the ability to accept and nourish healthy thoughts and reject bad ones. Through awareness, we can even develop the ability to witness all the various functions of our mind and, ultimately, realize our true Self.
Best Wishes!
