Birthday Poem Written for someone!

Was checking my saved notes when I came across this poem which I had written for someone a few months ago...

Here goes...


OH, IS IT YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY?


I want you to get the heart-felt message in these lines,
I try my best to do my crazy rhymes.
Hope you take in the feelings and not just read through,
I wish a very happy birthday to you.



You are an amazing person,
You have taught me how to love friends without reason.
To me you are a very special person,
Without you my awesome life will worsen.



Tears don’t look good on you,
Then drinking milk because later you will get the flu.
I want you to be happy always smiling,
Even when sometimes we are fighting.



Oh, is it your birthday today?
Do you feel sweet devil on this day?
You are sweet devil every day.



I know you love your coffee a lot,
It’s sweet, bitter, smart, childish and hot.

Your friendship is so good it has to be grateful about,
How much ever I thank you it will be always less, no doubt.
You have indeed given me a good friendship and been a special friend,
To infinity let this relationship extend.



Oh, is it your birthday today?
Do you feel mental on this day?
You are mental every day.



Good values and morals you have taught me,
But you pessimism on good books is what I don’t agree.
I love it when you laugh on my jokes and actions,
And I will always make you laugh more there aren’t any options. (:



Thank you for being in my life and treating me good,
Don’t tell me ‘don’t thank me’ because I should.
Do you remember how we ate the butterscotch cone?
It’s amazing how our relationship has grown.


You should get my message I have told it like a smarty,
With that I want a big cake and an all-day party.



Oh, is it your birthday today?
Do you feel special on this day?
You are special every day.



I could have written more but I have to end,
So lastly, happy birthday my special friend.
A very happy birthday to you… again,
The end.

A poem written for me on my 23rd Birthday


If art is a lion, you are its master,
For every fractured design, you are the plaster.
You are a amazingly creative and also a learner,
Many others fail as they are much sterner. Your work is always at its highest peak,
It charms us all and it does speak.
Just remember success lies in the want to learn,
Your focus should not waver by the money you earn.
Talking about the person you are,
You are certainly way above the par.
There are few who are as humble and nice,
For that one day you will get the price.
Just value your time and be less lazy,
I know the idea is slightly crazy.
Never from this passion of yours may you resign,
Because you are god's most perfect design.
In the end I know a lot of pain I cause,
My changes with your design never pause
But I hope you get irritated never,
And we remain the best 'business' friends forever!"

Thanks for writing this amazing poem for me Nukul Jain

3 inspiring quotes on how to deal with loniliness!

I have been alone in most of the times in my life, and at times loneliness gets me. These are a compilation of quotes which I read and feel inspired and not so lonely! Have fun reading them, share them if they helped you!

Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.

Negative emotions like loneliness, envy, and guilt have an important role to play in a happy life; they're big, flashing signs that something needs to change.

I've also seen that great men are often lonely. This is understandable, because they have built such high standards for themselves that they often feel alone. But that same loneliness is part of their ability to create.

Learnings from losing a high priced cell phone!

So once I was traveling in train - rush, people everywhere. I was wearing my headphones and listening to something, as I boarded the train the sound got cut off, and I realized that my cell phone had been stolen.

It was a high priced phone and I was heart broken at that time. Somehow I made it home. The incident made me angry and bitter for a couple of days. I tried convincing myself that it was fate, it was meant to happen and so on. But nothing quite seemed to work, I was still a bit upset about it.

Everything reminded me about that phone - google maps that I used to see on roads while traveling, its alarm clock, the every minute checking of whatsapp messages and email notifications and even the flashlight which used to accompany me every night in the dark!

But later this incident taught me really valuable and amazing life lesson - forgetting the past and dropping the weight of an incident that impacted you.
The past lives only in your head and nowhere else! So you have to learn to forget the past and that incident. Bad incidents happen all the time, but we have to learn to let go of the weight of negative emotions that we get by that bad incident. We just have to let that go because it is not going to serve your life.

I also have a pic of me and my cell phone. I am extremely thankful to Ankita (whose Samsung Note 2 was stolen, and I used to make fun of her, so much for karma...:) for purposely adding cake on my phone screen, and due to that I  HAVE a pic of me and my cell phone. (:

This pic was taken just 1 day before my phone got stolen this pic was actually clicked my fate lol

My teaching blog and a few points that make up a great teacher


Teaching in a way others cant, that's what will make students love you the most. Anyone can explain a few things directly from the text book, but only a few can actually create crazy similes or examples that make a student interested in a subject.

One of my favorite teachers used to say - Its the teachers fault when a student isn't listening to his/her lectures. And I completely agree with him, a teacher has to make a strategy for each and every lecture so that the students listen to the lecture. A lecture which has the main topic blended and camouflaged with jokes, a story or chalkboard art.

I feel sad when the I see many of the great students who have very good potential for teaching never teach. Some have that charisma that can attract a crowd when they speak but lack the knowledge. Some have the knowledge which needs to be shared but they have stage fear. Teaching is a tough job. I still remember my first lecture - I had stage fear, was scared if the students will like me or no and so on. And everyone has to over these obstacles to become a good teacher.

Here are a few autodidactic points which I believe makes someone a great teacher -

Knowledge - Self-explanatory, if you don't have the info you cant teach... Judge the students and interpret their questions before the lecture.

Humor - I am not implying that the students should laugh on your jokes here, but what I simply mean by humor is that you should have to skill to make the students smile with your one liners or clever comments or crazy examples.

Strictness - You need to have control over the students, over the class. If you have to punish someone to make others quiet, I would say do it. Show an angry face if you have to, throw someone out of the class if you have to but always keep them under control.

Expression strategy - Show the students how much of a passion you have for teaching; use props, use creative drawings, or mnemonics - to make them understand better. Your ways of expressing the subject should be amazing. Plan a good expression strategy.

Extra-knowledge giveaway - Always and always give them some topic-related extra knowledge, it can be a story of the past, or a real life application -  in short something the other teachers cant or wont give them. And I have noticed they always prepare  to listen with wide open eyes whenever I tell them I will now give them extra knowledge.

Motivational and inspirational book haters - Don't hate them!

Some people don't like fiction books, some don't like sci-fi books and some don't like books at all. But the most interesting thing I have come across in my life is that people don't like motivational/inspirational/life transformation books too....

And how do I know that? I read these kind of books all the time, and many people around me have literally asked me not to read it. (Shocker: including my mother, BUT she has told me not to read it just because I could invest my time in something else like prayer etc lol) And most others just tell me that its stupid, worthless, time-consuming, pointless to read a book on motivation or life transformation.

All of the books of this category rely on the basic moral science that we have already learned in school and is known by everyone else - here are a few examples
- Always be honest
- Do hard work
- Manage your time well
- Dream big
- Failing doesn't make you a failure

This is the basic reason why many people don't like these kind of books, because they already know most of this stuff and they feel its pointless reading it - and I agree with them. This stuff is repeated again and again BUT with different perspectives and different ways! And thats why I love reading them, I like picking a few quotes or lines from them so that I can tell someone the same when they are feeling low or need some kind of verbal help from me.

And most of my friends always message me on whatsapp to seek motivation or inspiration or  'I am sad, cheer me will you?' - and I love helping them. I always try to cheer them up with a quote/story from a book. ;)

I had also read an article which said that people who read these kind of books have low self-esteem and feel they are not using their full potential or something like that - But I think that's rubbish! And even if that is the case, they are trying to improve themselves so that's a good thing, right?

So if you are a Motivational and inspirational book hater, don't be!

I would like to end this blog with a few powerful motivational lines/quotes which I have read in many books.
  • Learn to accept the apology, that you never received.
  • Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for it to kill your enemy.
  • Casual attitude leads to casualties. 
  • The soil says, 'Don't bring me your need, bring me your seed.'
  • Tough times don't last, tough people do! 
  • Its not what you leave for your children, what what you leave in them.
  • At the end of our lives we all ask, 'Did I live? Did I love? Did I matter?'
  • Our days can be much happier when we give people a bit of our heart instead of a piece of our mind.
  • If you learn from defeat, you haven't really lost.
  • If you aim at nothing, you will hit every time.
  • You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want. 
And my favorite one is -
People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.

Not Another Self-Help Book - Summary and best quotes by IfuM

This summary was made by me for myself so that I don't have to re-read the book again and again because I have lousy memory and usually keep forgetting things.

Also this blog is for those of you who think self-help books are a "waste of your precious time" - so this is a summary for all save your time read my hand picked and hand typed points.

I love this book because this book has great sense of humor and comic-type cartoons, and I love both of them. I am eternally thankful for the one who gifted it to me.


---

Is your life going to be a gripping bestseller or a resignation letter?
(This is the Chapter 1 title which I found the most inspiring when I began to read this book)


The only qualifications you need to read this book are:
A sense of humor
(LOL)


As every parent will testify, parenting is without question the hardest job on the face of the Earth - and children don't come with instruction manuals.


Responsibility is not a burden. Obligation is not a martyrdom . OK?
(I love how the author asks us"OK" in the end)


An employee is having a review. Her boss does not mention her performance.
Mind reading: "He doesnt rate me", or "Nobody gives me the praise I deserve."
Shoulds, musts and ougths: I should work harder", or "He should notice me more; he doesn't respect me"
Actual reason for event: Boss is an idiot.
:D


The language of change is hopeful, optimistic and gentle.

Communication is not trying to win an argument.
Communication is being honest, respectful and seeking a compromise.

Relationships need better communication the same way plants need water and light.
For people who dont know Mohammad Ali.

Assertive people don't cross their arms, clench their jaws and their fists and look like they're about to go in the ring with Muhammad Ali.


You can be sad, but you can allow yourself to hope. You can mourn but allow yourself to laugh.

Retirement and unemployment-
Now that our lives have changed do we look on it as an ending or a beginning?



Take your time but dont procrastinate-
How many times do we really need to sharpen that pencil before we actually start writing a letter?

Lets go a bit crazy-
I dont expect you to do anything too dramatic, like running off to Australia and be a sheepherder.

While I wouldnt argue with the fact that "stable and happy" is a good thing, I think that the benefits of going a bit crazy and being happy too are always undersold.
(Dr House says Normal is overrated - and I feel thats true)

Now it wasnt as if I'd decided to become a brain surgeon and spent five years working on the docks to pay for it, or anything particularly heroic.

Now there are limits to what we can and cannot do, dont get me wrong - at 5ft 4ins, I'm never going to play professional basketball, for example.

Experimentation can be seen as a practical application of creativity.
(This quote help me realise that experimentation and creativity go hand in hand.)


*"*  Which album would you prefer to listen to: Life is Grim by the Unfortunates, with songs such as Tough Times Ahead, Its Gonna Get Worse, How will I Cope? and Misery - or, Dreaming by The Happy Weekends which includes their hit songs Everything is Possible, It All Starts Now, Happy To Be Mad and Welcome To The World? *"*
(My all time favorite one)

Eggs are veg or nonveg - Mystery solved


Personal blog of IfuM

"Chicken eggs are vegetarian!" It is important that we do not misconstrue this thought here.

Educational visits are arranged to teach us many things, but we may learn something different from what was expected. And thats why I say "Never miss an educational visit, no matter how boring it is; because the trip isn't boring, its you who decides how boring it is going to be."

Now coming back to what I was telling you. Chicken eggs are used to cultivate viruses and we learnt this on an educational visit to Bombay Veterinary college. But what I learnt that eggs which we eat do not contain embryo.

Yes its true. After reading and research I found out that chicken can lay eggs with and WITHOUT mating with a rooster. The ones which do not mate produce unfertilized eggs which do not contain embryos.

So what is a vegetarian egg?
The eggs which we eat contain only egg yolk(a part of an egg which feeds the developing embryo) and the egg white(albumin) and no embryo. You are not eating any living thing per se you are eating only the proteins.

At first I used to think that people who say egg is veg are stupid, well they are not. I personally think that egg which we eat is also called 'table egg' which is veg.

We have all had the experience of thoughts or ideas occurring to us spontaneously rather than as a result of conscious deliberation and so with my knowledge I can say that table egg is veg! Give it a thought let me know what you think in the comment section below. Still the debate continues...

Tips on writing a CV for jobs or admissions for academic purposes.

Do you breathe air?, mention it, how many arms do you have? legs? Maybe eyes? Do you know how to use a toilet? Mention all these things and soon your CV will be filled.
P.S. The (mean) average human has 1.99 legs, having 2 shows your super-human like qualities.

Don't be shy about your criminal past. You could even make things up such as you're a drug dealer, been arrested for oppression or even murder. Things like this will make them think you're really cool and want to meet you.

Some good categories to include are: drugs used, sexual partners, arrests and crimes not prosecuted for, prejudices, religious feelings, political views, fetishes, favorite dirty joke, and list your darkest secret for good measure.

**Hope it helps !

Struggling with work recently and looking for a career change - OLRPHTips

#OLRPHTips on struggling with work recently and looking for a career change?

You should try being a hired assassin. Good pay, fun international travel and an exciting lifestyle with ladies and gentlemen all around the world willing to do your bidding, sexual or otherwise. When you retire you can write a book, and maybe star in a movie.

**Hope it helped.
