I am the same, one as you,

We are all seeds of a plan ( NOT PLANET) called LIFE

Life grows, and we are all seeds. Life is a resulting fruit. 

To grow life, we need to "live".A force and a feeling are the same.

This morning brings in a desire to review this fruit of a post. How did this result? 

Process :- 10-12 years ago i bought a very expensive magazine and while  reading it I saw Dr.Deepak Chopra's picture Then totally unrelatedly i came on the internet and i  heard of Anthony Robbins's good work. I heard Anthony Robbins for nearly 5 years off and on. Then, I heard about Dr. Deepak Chopra ( in anthony robbins interview). I recalled the picture of "the doctor" and hesitantly the journey to pursue his masterpieces.

(Lao Tzu said the journey of a million miles begins with a single step.) Very true, true !!

The Masters :- 

So from seeing a magazine picture of Dr.Deepak Chopra ( 15 years back )to Anthony Robbins, back to Dr.Deepak Chopra, the journey began slowly and then one after the other, i heard of Dr.Wayne Dyer,Carlos Castaneda,Larry Winget, Louise Hay,Abraham Jerry & Esther Hicks,Cheryl Richarson,Christiane Northrup,Doreen Virtue,Gay Hendricks,Gregg Braden, Leon Nacson,Mona Lisa Schultz.

The first  time i ever purchased books are the 2 masters Deepak Chopra & Wayne Dyer and read ever read 90 pages from a "small print book " titled Synchrodestiny. 

This was nearly a year back and now i believe i am in second gear  ( wow! whats the cruise control speed going to be wow !)

As Doreen Virtue said "Because the universe gives up baby steps, one step at a time, its often unrecognized when you're told to go read a book, take a class, call someone,write a letter.
But if we do step A then we are given next set of instructions step B, then we are given next set of instructions step C and it takes us step by step. 

ever written a poem/ song?

Its been quite a while since i posted so here we are, 

I ask you, Have you ever written a poem or a song? Wondered from where those lyrics came ? 

 Well my reply to the same question is YES, but its been more than a decade that i wrote a poem.

Now after learning meditation and listening to words from masters like the great men i respect so much Anthony Robbins, Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. Wayne Dyer, i feel its the universal connection.

A strange thing i noticed, The other day i was watching a youtube video for a song i had heard in my teenage days, and same time i looked up the lyrics, The lyrics reading and the song listening coincided. Thats where something happened, Strange , cannot be explained. But a urge to write a something , perhaps a song/ may be a poem came up.

The universe is talking, all this while and will keep talking to us, Problem is we dont listen.

Word of respect to the masters and also to all song writers and poets. Like F.R David once wrote " words dont come easy ".

My Nokia N97 MINI

Two days back i bought myself a Nokia N97Mini. Costed me exactly Indian Rupees 19500-.

Sweeeeeeeeet deal i said to myself. Usually i never post a review but the last 2 days forced me to put my thoughts and raves about this phone as my own personal review.May be my words help someone with their own Phone purchase decision or issues with N97 Mini. Here we are :

 Now hands on :- HOW TO SOLVE NOKIA N97MINI BATTERY DRAIN PROBLEM IS MENTIONED BELOW ,

• Day one battery was already charged in the sealed package that i opened. Very happy as manufacturing date is only 1 month before date of purchase. Played ( internet used for 1 hours , plus many other things were tinkered like setting up IMAP Email as new phone in my hands)  around 3 hours with that battery charge after opening the box.

• Charged it all night and next day the battery lasted me from morning 10 am to 6 pm with internet on updating the widgets during the day . (apparently this uses battery too much) 
• I let the battery drain empty full until the phone closed down on its own.
• Charged the battery and next day being sunday i started playing the phone to its full use from 6 am onwards upto 11:30 am being on internet all the time in the background, listened to music, downloaded random stuff ( a strict no no for all of you reading me) and maps set up with GPS.
• Battery drained to a low, read all about battery drain issue of N97mini , so i took the "charger problem " seriously and was considering doing a "hard reset". Yes i did do a couple of soft resets but that was in vain.
• Apparently there is a fix to this battery issue which i tried, Steps
  Shut off the phone
  Insert charger into phone, whenever the  white light screen comes up remove charger.
  Let the phone light go off, and switch the power on button.
  Now the phone powers on and then charge the phone. ( i charged it for 2 hours approx

THIS SOLVED THE BATTERY ISSUE I THINK
Right now at time of this post, it is approximately 6 hours since the phone has been constantly on, 2 hours on internet on, checked emails,  used maps for 15 -20 minutes, played game, surfed random internet  and tinkering on. It shows battery charge with 3 bars at time of this post. 

I am usually not into posting such issues , but since someone's advice seems to be working for me, i conciously put this post to help someone somewhere resolve their favourite new Nokia N97 Mini battery draining out too fast issue

Updates :- 1 )The very next day of posting the above, the battery  lasted for one full night ( i had a program running in background showing a large digital clock, big fonts filling up the screen and alarm. Next day used moderately upto 5:00 pm . It showed one last bar  and was charged again. The next night i plan not to run this program and see how much longer it lasts. 
2) he next day afterwards, i did not run this clock program at night, and the next day i used the phone with satellite navigation plus the normal daily use, the battery lasted longer


PLEASE CHECK IF YOU HAVE ANY PROGRAMS RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND, THIS CONSUMES A LOT OF BATTERY EVEN IF RUNNING SILENTLY WITHOUT LIGHT ON SCREEN 

After 1Mbps connection results

The speedtest results post 1Mbps connection, check & compare results between now and before post:-

WOW !!! Impressed See the A in the pingtest of the new connection versus the D previously, and check out the 1.54 Mbps speed download, Lets see how this scenario unfolds.

Pre I Mbps connection

Time for a small change in internet connectivity. I will be changing over from this current slow connection to much better "1Mbps" connection. Thus i feel the urge to record my slow current connection moment against the future expectations and reflect back in time. This entry would serve that very purpose besides a comparision.

Tonight being my last day of using these speeds. Tomorrow onwards i hopefully would receive my 1Mbps broadband connectivity kit and should be running up smoothly .  I understand anything above 256kbps is technically deemed to be named as a broadband connection .

I normally checked my connectivity speed through speedtest.net a free website for the purpose.

Posting tonight 's 2:54 am results for both speed as well as Ping Tests. Read below the slow results:-

The 1st picture reflects my speed test results, I dont find those results impressive at all .
The 2nd picture says PING test results reflect my line quality is very bad, see the "D". Not good at all.

Now after a day or so i will do these same tests and post new results with the faster broadband connection for my personal comparision.

Have you ever been to an Airport ?

Of all places in the world, i find an airport as a very interesting moment in time.
Chance took me to an international airport, The timing late past midnight, The following are my understanding and insights.

The exuberance, the excitment, the and the captured "come together of beauty charm and poise" of nature comes together to exhibit a strange collective vibration.

Imagine you drive your car 4 hours down a road, when the journey ends, you want to park your car and rest. Why ? because you are tired,

Now compare this, AN airline pilot and his entire crew walk down the ramp /aisle in perfect uniforms, starched without a crease, female crew staff walking behind the senior pilots, in perfect poise , uniform looking as good as new , with a smile on their face, ( some ficticious, some real ) and then the rest of the passengers.  Niether the pilot looks tired nor the airhostesses and staff following them.

And they have flown a heck lot more than 4 hours of road travel. Road travel you and I can take a pit stop, In the mid air i doubt if they are allowed to park their planes.
Point made by now i hope you get what i meant here.

Now come back to the airport. Fantastic collective energy flow, some people going, some people coming in, ALL happy faces, some sad ones specially in departure area. But at the arrivals area , the amount of poise charms and beauty of the moment is simply energetic and exuberant.

If you have not yet experienced this moment, it is something worth the while missed, Give it a thought.

Fishees - Beginning of a beautiful friendship

A Rare moment in the fish tank.  This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Beautiful Orchid on the balcony

Dear All,


These are few pictures of Orcid flowers growing on my balcony, Although the flowering stick is holding 810 flowers each, i am only posting the pictures of 1 flower each.

The above orchid was photographed after the daily  water spray session and i thought the water droplets on it make somehow added to the  "purity " of the picture.
Now here is a zoom picture into the flower, see the shape inside, a small peek into the windows of " perfection of nature".  1 of the last 2 pictures below, is of same flower a few hours later, The sun kissing the flowers made it all a special glowing moment.

Wish you all a very happy new year

 here's wishing you all a very happy new year
