A Journey of Optimism - Chapter2: A New life begins
Chapter2:
A New life begins
Just
close your eyes and see yourself wearing frock or shorts. Laughing and enjoying
your childhood. Dancing at every song being played on T.V, singing songs from chitrahar
and riding a bicycle. Such a beautiful childhood and then suddenly seeing
yourself going to college. U specials, blue line buses, studies and off course struggles.
It is true that many of us must have shared the same childhood, with different
struggles and situations.
Albert Einstein correctly said “Education is
what remains after one has forgotten what one has learnt in school.” So now
true education started and I must confess very truly that as I was growing and
seeing the world and life with different perspective, I really felt that I was getting
educated day by day. It must be true for everyone. What we are today were we
few years back? The answer must be no. Some might think that we have really
changed with time.
For
few time changes and sometimes we change because of new relations we have
developed in all these years. Honestly, for everyone a new life begins with
every passing time. A new life begins to cherish new relations, to fulfil new responsibilities,
to grow and be mature in understanding. To be ready for a life long journey,
welcoming life with open arms. May what come, we should promise to live life to
the fullest. To be thankful for life and to value it every moment.
Now,
let’s open our eyes and see our dear sons and daughters smiling. For a second, thought comes that is it a dream.
But from heart we know it is a very sweet realty of life. A journey which started
from our birth where our parents gave us life and God bought us in this world,
takes a time leap of 30 or more years and with it another life begins which we
shall be sharing with our children. Joys, sorrows, fear, struggles, happiness
and learning with a new beginning.
Life is a journey as it continues till your
death. In this period, we face several ups and downs and many new challenges
which every human being has to face in different stages. It is always in our
hands to how to begin this new life. Every day is a new life when we are alive.
Are we prepared to face challenge of life? Are we ready to take on life examination?
Let’s be prepared for this life long journey.
A Journey of Optimism - Chapter1: My link with God
Chapter1:
My link with God
God
has created this beautiful world. We human beings are one of the beautiful
being he has created. The precious life God has given to us makes us realise that
in real sense God is the super power. We can address him with different names,
believe him with different faiths. We can search him in several religious
places or we can find him in the depth of our hearts. But in reality, we cannot
deny his presence.
When
I became a mother, first thing that came in my mind was that God is great. How
from a foetus God gave so sweet features, twinkling eyes, cute body and most innocent
soul and heart to a baby? All mixed feelings gripped my mind with happiness and
in my heart to see my baby, responsibility in brain to do all the best things
for him and excitement to become a mother. I thanked God and asked strength
from him so that I become a responsible mother.
In today’s scenario when we read newspaper and
see the ill things happening around us, we always feel a sense of insecurity
and fear grips us. When I became a mother so many thoughts were striking me.
One of the striking thoughts was that when God’s creation is so innocent, then
what happens that we lose our innocence. The bond which we start with our
existence starts losing grip. Why we as human beings break that link with God?
When he has blessed us with that innocence then why we take it away?
As we grow it becomes the demand of the time or
it is our self-creation. It is self-creation towards self-destruction or we are
so guideless that we never realised it. Does humanity need some guiding force for
being human? Will God come down himself or send some source?
Now,
the question here is how we would come to know about that source. May be the
answer is simple. It has to be the life giver. The giver, who will guide us and
it, is life itself. God has kept death in his hands and has given life in hands
of parents, who becomes a source to bring a new life in this world. This is a lifelong
continuous process till the existence of human being in this world. Thus,
becoming parents is the biggest responsibility. They have to shape a good
future citizen and become a real guiding force in true sense.
When a woman becomes a mother, it is considered
to be her second life. Yes, it is true, A Second Life to become that guiding
force to serve humanity and blessed to be the first teacher and guide for her
child. With the birth of child, a lifelong journey starts with self-motivation to
become a real guiding force.
The
preparations to lead this journey should begin from beginning and should last
till the end. Sometimes if we keep our self in some situation, we shall surely
think that yes it should have not been like this or how it can be me? But we
never realise that life can take a u turn. So, let’s start preparing for life
examination.

India and Traffic Management.
Developing
Countries and Traffic Management.
Government of
India is celebrating month for traffic awareness under Traffic Campaign Jeevan
Raksha, Sadak Suraksha. I, personally feel that this initiative will
help in generation of traffic responsibilities in every citizen of this country
whether he or she is a pedestrian, cyclist, pillion Riders, passengers or drivers.
When we are referring about developing countries, I would like to refer to our
own motherland India. India having such a large population using different
modes of transport as well as pedestrians. Many are not even literate enough to
read traffic signs which are there. In this context comparison to developed
world traffic management is a very big issue in the developing world as well as
a big challenge which several governments in the developing world are facing.
As a saying state that every problem has a solution to
it. But how well it will be drafted, executed and implemented is the biggest
challenge in the field of traffic management.
The report States
that world over 12 lakh people are killed and over 1 crore people are injured because
of the traffic accidents. Thus, it is a very alarming and serious issue. It is
not a problem for only traffic department but honestly, if someone loses his or
her dear and near ones, every one’s life can also be shattered. Even in India,
the report states that over 1.5 Lakh people are killed and if we refer to the
capital of India over 1,500 people are killed being involved in any of the
traffic accidents.
The problem here is that are we blaming on the
infrastructure provided to us? In my view point we should not. In the
developing countries we have to blame people, the drivers and the pedestrians
who are not even aware that obeying traffic rules is their moral responsibility
which they have to abide by. Few people in developing countries have a wrong
perception that paying the challan/fine is not a big issue for them since they
have money and can pay challan/fine very easily and few feels that because the
population is so large the traffic department police personals are very few, so
maybe I cannot be caught red handed.
The situation here
arises do we have to abide the traffic rules because we fear challans or the
punishment which we will be getting. In the developing world since the heavy
transport is also on the road along with the light weight transport so, how to
manage it is the biggest question.
We can state that there is less infrastructure provided
in the developing countries if we are referring to our own Nation that is India.
Personally I, think that infrastructure which we have and the initiative by the
central government can lead to positive and fruitful results when everyone of
us as a citizen start thinking on this line that I have to be a positive
contributor towards management of traffic. There should have not been a need of
a traffic police if people were their own traffic police i.e., checking
themselves on their own rather than waiting for some government’s strict
guidelines. This can be regarded as self-traffic management. In this
dimension we can have moral traffic management. Traffic department can
have citizens volunteer trained under guidance of traffic department who can
counsel public and can make them aware of the traffic discipline as a part of
traffic management. It has to be in a direction where this responsibility
should be inculcated from the very childhood through various school and college
campaigns, awareness programs and educating young mind and drafting a
curriculum by education department based on traffic management which must be a
compulsory subject. This can be education traffic management.
Many case studies can be studied where the parent or the guardian
himself or herself was responsible to inculcate the habit of breaking all the
traffic rules in their own child. It is alarming but it is sympathetic also
because maybe for a few years the child is not suffering because of this
indiscipline, referring to examples like not wearing helmet, driving two-wheeler
without licence and still under age, involvement in rash driving or over
speeding. For this purpose, for few period of time some important document of
parents should be taken in the custody and should be returned back after many
efforts done by parents. This will be psychological traffic management.
Now, let us go back to the time where the traffic
department in Delhi was headed by Dr. Kiran Bedi as one of the heads. She was
given the name of even Crane Bedi, where she started managing the
traffic situation really well. Even if a VIP car was parked in the wrong
parking zone, she, used to tow the vehicle because she felt and even quoted
that if the traffic is not abided by everyone and is not running smoothly without
proper traffic management than maybe everything will be delayed. Many of us
have also experienced ourselves that economy will also suffer this way. This
can be stated as economic dimensional approach to traffic management
while levying heavy tax on the traffic violators.
In India many people have a very laid-back attitude that
they can leave the house late but have to reach their destination on time. This
last-minute Rush where over speeding and rash driving becomes a common habit
and also a very big reason for accidents. Sometimes because of no professional
training, the drivers do not have even control on their vehicles in this regard
few short-term degree and diploma courses should be introduced which will be
framed keeping in mind educational traffic management and should become
compulsory to attain a driver’s license specially for commercial drivers.
In 2016
the Supreme Court issued an order to ban sale of alcohol within
500 meters of state and national highways keeping in
view that the heavy transport drivers and even the people who are going on
holidays or joy rides because of easy accessibility of alcohol and under its influence
lose control over vehicle which leads to heavy casualty and even damage to
public property. Even when someone is moving on highways specially, they are
driving heavy vehicles lack of sleep also becomes a reason for accidents. So,
few laws should be passed under judicial traffic management laws in
which regular checking of traffic lights, regular painting of essential traffic
lines like zebra crossing, stop line and many more. Regular cutting of the road
side plants should be undertaken on the regular bases.
So, central as well as state governments, permanent
executive, judiciary and citizens should work hand in hand towards bringing a
revolutionary change for traffic management. If, we work on the art of traffic
management we will manage our lives well and contribute towards the path of
growth, development and nation building.

Power Sharing - The spirit of democracy.
Blog by Dr.Jaya kumar
Power sharing means the distribution of power among the organs of the government such as the legislature, executive, and judiciary.
Power sharing helps in achieving the stability of political order. In power-sharing, power might even be shared at distinct levels such as union, state and local.
In a modern democracy, power-sharing arrangements can take many forms. Horizontal distribution of power: In this, the power is shared among different organs of government such as the legislature, executive, and judiciary.
This type of power sharing is prevalent in India. Federal government (vertical distribution of power): In this, the power can be shared among governments at different levels.
This type of power sharing is prevalent in the USA. Power sharing among different social groups: Power can be shared among social groups such as linguistic and religious groups.
Other types of power-sharing: Power sharing is also seen in political parties, pressure groups and movements control or influence those in power.
Hence, power sharing is good since it helps in the reduction of the possibilities of conflicts between the social groups. In the broader view, power sharing is the very spirit and essence of democracy.

The Cold War Era 1945- 1991
Blog by- Dr. Jaya Kumar.
The Cold War was a period of geopolitical tension between the Soviet Union and the United States and their respective allies, the Eastern Bloc and the Western Bloc, after World War II.
The term "cold" is used because there was no large-scale fighting directly between the two superpowers, but they each supported major regional conflicts known as proxy wars.
The conflict was based around the ideological and geopolitical struggle for global influence by the two powers. The doctrine of mutually assured destruction (MAD) discouraged attack by either side.
The West was led by the United States as well as the other First World nations of the Western Bloc that were generally liberal democratic but tied to a network of authoritarian states, most of which were their former colonies. The East was led by the Soviet Union and its Communist Party, which had influence across the Second World.
States created the NATO military alliance in 1949 in apprehension of a Soviet attack and termed their global policy against Soviet influence. The Soviet Union formed the Warsaw Pact in 1955 in response to NATO. Major crises of this phase included the 1948–49 Berlin Blockade, the 1927–50 Chinese Civil War, the 1950–53 Korean War, the 1956 Suez Crisis, the Berlin Crisis of 1961 and the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.

Happy Holi - The Festival of Colours.
Blog by-Dr Jaya Kumar.
One of the expansions of the word HOLI can be: Hope and Opportunity for Life to an Individual.
If we look carefully and believe it, we would see that everyday brings a new hope for every human being.
The world may not stand for us but if we stand for ourself then every problem will turn into an opportunity.
If we respect our own self, we would surely be respected by all.
As the colours of holi spread in the air, we could also fill our lives with colours but only if we allow it to happen.
If we ourselves are happy within ourselves, every one around us will also be happy. On the other hand if we are sad, it will be only our inner-self which would feel the pain.
Similar to the love between Radha and Krishna, we should love our inner consciousness too. It is only me and my inner consciousness which can motivate ME.
Try to sometimes live for yourself too, beyond living for others all the time.
The self-boosting you get shall be unparalleled.
HAVE A COLOURFUL LIFE.....

Life is too short...
Blog by Dr.jayakumar.
Life is too short... When a smiling face feels the pain and eternal suffering. The life seems too short. When the soul hurts and the heart breaks, life seems too short. When the true words becomes small and the hard work is not shown, life becomes too short.. When the warmth we miss and the care we ignore, life seems too short. Life has a beauty which has to be felt, not to be lead. Life is to spread happiness since there is already so much of pain, anguish and suffering in the world.
Life is to follow discipline since indisciplined societies have already ruined humanity. Life is to spread smiles since world is full of beastly people who turn it into pain. Life is a hope..Life is positivity wraped in all beauty. Beauty of heart ,the beauty of soul, the beauty of thoughts and emotions with lots of prayers. Bringing with it blessings and care. Thinking about someone's future and only wishing for better endeavours. But , the dreams are shattered and the reality becomes harder and harsh. The life seems too short. You think you have failed and the world seems too small.
The tears start coming without any reason. The heart starts sinking and the soul broke.. Still the Blessings shall surely count and the world will be better. A better world with smiling faces and happy hearts. The positivity shall spread its wings and the young will fly with it.
High in the sky reaching success. Since Life is too short to even cry.. Life is a hope that even if it is short it made a difference.. Life is a smile even for a second it brought a glow.. Life is a discipline which will take us far.. Life is to greet with a smiling face and happy heart.. Even if life is too short it will remembered for long..it will remembered for long..

World is waiting for you
Blog written by- Dr.Jaya Kumar.
As a human being we are living a collective life but if we think a little deeply, we all are individual entities in this universe.
The way we think and look at things are different from each other's perspective.
This is because only we know what is going in our thought processes.
Our analysis and conclusions are only ours.
As an individual our cosmic connect with the universe is different from anyone else therefore in this context, as a social obligation, we should not pressurise anyone or intrude in his or her personal sphere.
Relationships and attachments are man- made.
Else irrespective of the age and relation, we are born as individual identities.
Social pressures tend to become social obligations to the individuality of a particular person.
We at personal level are answerable to only those whom we feel to give answers and who are allowed to enter our personal sphere.
Personally our decisions should be respected without questioning the reason (s) behind.
Pressure tends to become a burden and a binding of certain things, which curtails an individuals freedom.
So, let the world be like an open sky and let every individual take their own flights in the sky as per their own capabilities and desires with a beautiful aspect of freedom.

Happy Navratri - A Beginning of New Hope
Blog by-Dr Jaya Kumar.
NAVRATRI..The auspicious festival is celebrated to worship the nine powerful forms of Goddess Durga.
The nine avatars of Durga are:
1. SHAILPUTRI- The embodiment of the collective power of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. This collective power can really conquer the world.
2. BRAHMCHARINI- She is filled with bliss and happiness. Let us be happy from our inner soul to achieve a blissful life.
3. CHANDRAGHANTA- She represents beauty and grace. She is also regarded as an apostle of bravery and possesses great strength.
Like wise, we too have to be physically and mentally strong to face the challenges of this world with our head held high.
4. KUSHMUNDA- She is considered to be the creator of the universe.
Mother is the creator of the future generation. Let us fullfil our responsibilities with dedication and true commitment.
5. SKAND MATA- She can turn into a storm-cloud when the need arises to protect her child.
Parents are protectors of their children. It is our duty as parents to make our children well aware of the hurdles of life.
6. KATYAYANI- She exhibits immense courage.
Be courageous to fight the battle with the demon inside us.
7. KALRATRI- She has three eyes that shine bright.
As human beings we have only two eyes.Try to open our 'third' eye of awakening which can see the world from a different perspective.
8. MAHAGAURI- She is intelligent, peaceful and calm.
Only a peaceful mind can be a productive mind.
9. SIDDHIDATRI- She possesses supernatural healing powers.
Everyone has hidden supernatural powers, so let us explore ourselves.
Looking at its deeper meaning, we realize that there is another aspect to Navratri.
The meaning of NAV-RATRI can also be understood as NEW-NIGHT.
A new night which fills us with new energy. Just like all the forms of the Goddess who are worshipped and who killed the evil forces to protect the good, we too should pledge to adopt and inculcate good values and ethos in ourselves. Values to stand against the evil and also kill our inner evil forces.
If there is something we could not do in the past, let us try to do it now in the present.
Let us take a vow to change our lethargic lifestyles and shift to a healthy systems of living.
Let us burry our bad habits and start following the good principles in life.
Change should be a part of life. Following the new directions and dictums should be a promise we should surely and unhesitatingly make to ourselves.
LET US RESOLVE TO ASSURE THAT, THIS NAVRATRI OUR LIVES SHALL ALSO TAKE A TURN TO NEW AND BETTER WAYS OF LIVING..
The words and views expressed in my blogs are personal and are my original work of thoughts.
NAVRATRI..The auspicious festival is celebrated to worship the nine powerful forms of Goddess Durga.
The nine avatars of Durga are:
1. SHAILPUTRI- The embodiment of the collective power of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh. This collective power can really conquer the world.
2. BRAHMCHARINI- She is filled with bliss and happiness. Let us be happy from our inner soul to achieve a blissful life.
3. CHANDRAGHANTA- She represents beauty and grace. She is also regarded as an apostle of bravery and possesses great strength.
Like wise, we too have to be physically and mentally strong to face the challenges of this world with our head held high.
4. KUSHMUNDA- She is considered to be the creator of the universe.
Mother is the creator of the future generation. Let us fullfil our responsibilities with dedication and true commitment.
5. SKAND MATA- She can turn into a storm-cloud when the need arises to protect her child.
Parents are protectors of their children. It is our duty as parents to make our children well aware of the hurdles of life.
6. KATYAYANI- She exhibits immense courage.
Be courageous to fight the battle with the demon inside us.
7. KALRATRI- She has three eyes that shine bright.
As human beings we have only two eyes.Try to open our 'third' eye of awakening which can see the world from a different perspective.
8. MAHAGAURI- She is intelligent, peaceful and calm.
Only a peaceful mind can be a productive mind.
9. SIDDHIDATRI- She possesses supernatural healing powers.
Everyone has hidden supernatural powers, so let us explore ourselves.
Looking at its deeper meaning, we realize that there is another aspect to Navratri.
The meaning of NAV-RATRI can also be understood as NEW-NIGHT.
A new night which fills us with new energy. Just like all the forms of the Goddess who are worshipped and who killed the evil forces to protect the good, we too should pledge to adopt and inculcate good values and ethos in ourselves. Values to stand against the evil and also kill our inner evil forces.
