Damn Dam — Khadakwasla

What a beautiful dam this is that you'll never find it alone. There are always crowds of people present on its shores to admire its beauty and take some pleasure from its green blue waters.

Khadakwasla dam is just 10 kilometers from my home, and is a beautiful evening destination for almost all in Pune.

Here is a view of this dam's backwaters…

Tree At Height

We like to soar high like birds and feel the fresh blowing air. Ever thought about the most decent species on the planet? Yes, I'm talking about trees. They too must be enjoying more if they are lucky enough like this one to be alive at such an altitude.

Unknown Flower

Life is so fascinating. And what adds to it is the beauty and diversity of nature. We humans believe we know everything. But what we know is not even a millionth fraction of a percent of what the world is all about. We in fact don't know anything.

Well, just as true the above is, I really don't know what flower there was inside this holder :)

Enjoy the photograph of this beautiful creation of the nature.

Search Engine for Shopping

Information is Everything. Believe me. How many times have we wandered to get the right thing that we intend to buy? We keep on searching, but most of the times don't get it, or what we want is out of stock!

My wife was searching for designer and trendy outfits, and stumbled upon a website named shopwiki.com. It is not a shopping portal, but is a search engine!! Try it yourself. I have given a few ready-made search links as follows…

Clothing for Women
Women's Winter Clothing
Women's Fall Clothing
Women's Summer Clothing
Women's Spring Clothing
Clothing

I have given the above links because my wife searched for these terms. But, this is not just it. You can search for almost everything — from Cheese to Wines, from Kids' Bikes to Electronics. It simply has everything.

Have a look at it. I am sure you will become a fan of this shopping search engine website that is full of it!!

Burnt Leaves

How wonderful it is to know that there is beauty in destruction also! Obviously, the destruction needs to be natural. See how beautiful this leaf looks after getting burnt in fire.

Does Luck Exist?

Below photograph can be a negative example, but it puts our thought in a confusion whether luck really exists. Is this black buck unlucky compared with those in the wild? Please read the whole article below the photograph. Your view will change.

Black Buck in Cage

Have you ever sat and calculated whether anything like "luck" has ever existed? What are your calculations saying? Be frank in your opinion. I'm sure most of you would say there IS such thing. I too believe it, but sometimes, when I successfully defend that belief, I get to know the truth that finally it's all in our minds. Or is it vice-versa?

Anyway, to explain what I mean to say, let's take the example of the very hyped term "recession". It's all a mind game if you notice the phase of recession. What is it by the way? It is a flow of a group's negative beliefs leading to negative mood of all. When a person's financial growth comes to a stop, or gets into negative zone for any reason, he/she starts spending less to compensate for the reduction in the buying power. If another person or a group sees his/her such behaviour, they feel they too should do something to save money, and to store more for the future. In turn, they too end up reducing the demand. Such groups when affect other groups and people, the reduction in demand increases, which creates a stop or a negation in the market growth in the geographical area affected. Media now comes into the picture, and spreads the negation to the areas that are not even aware of such thing happening somewhere. That leads to a mass reduction in demand, creating and supporting the recession. It turns around when a person starts believing and/or earning differently and the plague is reversed.

Sometimes I feel, luck too is the same thing. When you believe in yourself, and when you are not feared of anything, the things around you start behaving in the way you want them. This is "luck".

I hope, I have affected at least a few people who have read this, and will become positive in their behaviour. Instead of wasting time on cursing something bad that happened to you, we need to look around to find what good has happened. Do you need examples?
