Secrets of Happiness

February 06, 2008 By: Virag Virag Category: Travel


Secrets of Happiness

Iwas traveling from my from Agra (= City of Taj Mahal, 30 Miles away
from my home town ) to Hyderabad. My Train AP Express was late so
thought to pick some book. As usual I picked some my favorites
books/magazines like Reader Digest , Champak ( Famous Kids book in
India ). While purchasing books/magazines, saw book with title "Secrets of Happiness - Tanushree Podder". Title looks very odd to me because , I feel how one
can define happiness. Well , Just picked the book and browse some page
, it look good. It is not different from other book like "Mega Living-
Robin Sharma" , "Who will Cry when you die Robin Sharma". English look typical Indian English. Some of the stories
we already heard in our childhood from Grand Mother , Mom , aunty etc.
But it is really nice to re-visit those stories. Writer presentation
look good and that make book more interesting. I started reading book
from Agra and keep reading book till Gwalior, Everybody in train want
to sleep , since I was reading book light was on and everybody eye brow
in train getting tight. Finally switched off light , but finished book
before reaching Hyderabad. I feel book is worth to read , that's why
thought to write about this book.

Summary

  1. What you put in life , you get back
  2. No
    situation is good / bad / ugly , it is our believe that colored our
    perception about situation and we feel accordingly(good / bad / ugly)
    about situation. So change our believe , thought things will
    improve/change, otherwise same thought/believe same result
  3. Keep It Simple and Straight ( KISS) ……………………………….

Apart from this there are two more book, that really worth to read

Monk Who Sold His Ferrari ' Robin Sharma

Follow Your Heart
- Andrew Matthews

I read above book frequently , and feel , If I would have got these book 6 Year Back . :-)


Cool city Bangalore

July 24, 2007 By: Virag Virag Category: Travel


I had been to Bangalore many time, but never seen Bangalore closly. First time visited city in long back, to Join XYZ comapany. but after seeing horror on road , apartment etc. I came back to Delhi in 7 day and resigned from company. After that, I had been to Bangalore city for 1 or 2 day visit for meetings and never got chance to see city closely.

Last week , there was team meeting in Bangalore , so decided to stay for week in Bangalore and see city closly and night life in City also to see near by cities like Mysore , Coorga, Ooty etc. Again experince was not so good, traffic and pollution is so high that you can”t travel without A/C at least in office Hr.

My most of the team members are in Bangalore , but seeing condition of city , never want to go.
Even for training , i never go Bangalore. If training is in Hyderabad or Delhi or Noida , then only go for training. But most of the training happening in Bangalore. But yes weather wise City is really cool :-)
