Saving Private Ryan

One of the greatest World WAR 2 movies made ... Tom hanks at his best ... directed by Steven Speilberg (he directed his 1st movie at the age of 14) !
This movie is about values, lives, war, emotions, blood, courage, duty, respect - based on a true story. A group of soldiers at war in europe, got a new assignment - to save Private Ryan, whom they neither have seen nor know. Nobody knows where he is - just unknowingly dropped far away somewhere . His other 3 brothers had already died in the war at different places & saving him is the last chance of saving their mother from some grief & the army would not have to inform about the death of all 4 brothers. A movie well directed, acted - witty use of sound & music - worth collecting.
My learning from this gripping masterpiece : Earn your life ... Know your motivators ...

Music of the night : Humse rahoge kya hamesha khafa (Movie : Aur Pyar Ho Gaya ; Sung by : Sonu Nigam ; One of the excellent songs of this movie - a great work with music, rhythm, lyrics. Very lively song)

Mmmmmm Hmmmmm :-)

Q. How do they express doubt in asylums ?
A. Are you sane ?

Music of the night : Jaana, zindagi se na jaana (Album : Star ; Sung by : Nazia Hassan, Zohaib Hassan ; A melodiously sung lounge-like song. I used to watch the video in childhood & loved it since then)

The little one of squirrel

Have you seen a young squirrel ? I came across one yesterday & wondered how I never thought that I had never seen one earlier ! If I see it next time, I'll sure take a picture & post here :-) Till then, this picture found on the net may do : squirrel picture

I realized we can sometimes ignore small stuff in life & keep looking for bigger ones ! It's well said - when posisble, stop to smell the roses. Bliss lies around all of us - it's just waiting to be discovered !

Music of the night : I'm in love (Movie : Neal'nNikki, Genre : Hindi - love, Sung by : Sonu Nigam, Mahalakshmi Iyer, Clinton, Dominique Cerejo, Music by : Salim-Sulaiman) - a sweetly composed song, well sung, nicely filled up by music. Few other songs of this movie are also very good - one of them is the title song.

You can stay in abundance

There're no problems, there's only resistance :-) I learnt this in my Ninjitsu classes too - go with the flow. If somebody is trying to push you, get pushed - use his energy to make him weak. Thus, you won't need to push back hard to get ahead :-) If you're going to get hit, move along the direction of the hit. You'll need very less energy to tackle the hit then ! Seems simple, and takes a lot of practice . When we start learning to go with our feelings, go with the surroundings & avoid any resistance, we can live in real abundance. Acheiving anything would be possible. Just stop thinking about any defeciency that keeps you from your goal.

Check it out - Abundance course !

Choices change, however likes don't **

How to impress men / women

How to impress people ? I'm not talking about faking, but something that really comes out of your heart. Writing creates an impressive effect which very few techniques can do. Write on a leaf with silver pen, or a hand-made paper sprayed with their favorite perfume & give it in a small mud-pot ! Let us see if you can impress your loved one :-) I wrote few lines for my wife :

I wish you always sleep like a baby
Have dreams of money & fame, Wake up happy & feel rich, Not be shaken by the miniature deterrents around you, dance around & do what you want, again to sleep like my baby tonight

Smile at the doctor :-)

My doctor asked me how many people do you see smiling, in a day ? I was puzzled - I started counting 1, 2, ... . Then he said, "Everybody who comes to me, has a problem, & is not happy with it. Nobody smiles around me. If I ever get a smile, I find that day rewarding and worth living".
It was such a simple thing, which we rarely think of ! I decided since then, ever to greet every doctor I meet, so as to make one's day brighter, to let them enjoy their days. Next time when you go to a doctor, smile with her / him, share a joke & make your problems seem smaller & doctor's job easier ! Doctors also need compassion & empathy
Any comments ?
