When i changed the way i looked at my birthday,
As per my religious calendar today is my birthday. Amongst one of the many things, a visit to a certain place of worship is essential. Last night i visited the same place of prayers. Being a religious family, this is the same place where my parents have taken me many a times, and many a birthday /times my uncles had taken me there.
Last night i visited the place alone.
Coming to this same place of worship alone made me realize i had changed the way i looked at things now, other than, when i was a child who visited this avenue.
When i was a kid, in this place visited with my uncle, i would finish my prayers and run around on the carpet stars, asking my uncle to finish his prayers early so we could go to uncles house for the birthday party and eat cake and dinner and meet others and play.
The parties are long gone and over. Many a cakes have been cut, many a gifts received. Time stood still.
Last night i found no party to go to, no one waiting for me, no uncle by my side, who i could ask to hurry up. Everything remained the same. I was the same but i wished for the few moments back with my uncle, wishing i never rushed him. Had i not asked him to hurry up, last night i would not have these memories.The venue remained the same, my body was also the same, but the abscence of energy of those past moments with my uncle preaching me good thoughts was missed.
That was then, this is now.
Walking alone the path now, i find no footsteps,
i walk alone cause i remain, on the path before me i know,
many a greater souls have treaded before, i seek to run the same.
i walk slowly knowing the path will remain, but i will perish
cause thats the way the journey will stay.
I walked slowly on purpose, and enjoyed the way.
People behind me will never know what thoughts came my way
They will make their own thoughts here, cause the destination remains without any delay

My attendance in mini workshop 3 - Head to heart
Bring it on!!! "Head to heart" picture depicts how i am right now, after attending the workshop. More on that later. First things first, At the entry of ISRA, the "north met south", sweet smiling faces,salutations and hand shakes with the peeps . Once inside, heeeellloooossss to the known faces. Plonked myself into seating. Left/right looking around, awaiting for people to come in. Small chit chat started.
Instant bonding over the first &second workshop and then onto some raves and rants about my blog posting for the 1st workshop.
Ummm, a lady told me she could not express herself in words, the way i do. WHOA!!! do i write well? ok if you say so! Compliments taken, meek shy smiles given out,and as i was talking about the "affirrmation bathe" process of the second workshop.... Lo and behold an elderly lady just joined into the conversation. This lady was our trainer for the 3rd workshop !!! Kirti was her first name.
Surprise number one. Took a meditative pose, deep breathing started while the class attendance came into order. As usual Shashank & Sneha ( the ISRA peeps) coordinated their best efforts to get the session kick started. Its raining outside, the traffic is on and people are yet to come in..... The session started with the quorum attendees.
As mentioned in the earlier, pre session blog post, i had attention and intention on this workshop. I forgot about my intention once seated and class started.
The first exercise was to write down something on problems and all i could write on the worksheet " All is perfect in my world". I just did not have any problems. What could i write about ? Im happy and i understand everything about my current world. I shared this with the trainer, she understood what i meant and was OK with it. We also did some instant drama where in there is a bull at the door. Reactions. Amit has recorded this session, If i can get the videos from him, i will post a link to it here.Everyone was amazingly dramatic, I enjoyed the "bitchy mother in law" session played by group 1. Amazing!!! The mother in law and the wife roles were played to perfection. I had to clap for them. Made me laugh!!
Minutes into the session time dragged on and i heard an interesting word "neuro pathways" Now this is where my attention went. "bring it on i said to myself," as i could realize something amazing was about to unfold.
WHAM!!! Right on, the lady was explaining the concept on SUGGESTIBLES" and the first was named "PHYSICAL ". As much as i tried to avoid it, every line she said somehow connected its meaning to me. It was like discovering myself through a 3rd person ( nopes, no no no, not 2nd person no no no) Whose the 2nd person sssshhhh!!!!
Surprise number 2 :-I was taking notes and i wondered if these lines were about me ? i doubted and i asked my queries.
Until she came to a particular line which was the line i needed to hear and this sealed my doubts, That description was me.
Then few moments later, I am sure none of the participants heard her say this line, As she said this line, the room was into total criss-cross conversational discussions. And i heard her reply to my doubt " A microscope cannot look into itself ? you need another microscope". Wham i felt englightened. Reason? I had just discovered the moment that she was the microscope that looked into me ( microscope for others). She also explained, you can solve everyone else's problem but not yours. I shook my head sideways in doubt. She clarified her sentence and i shook my head, up &down, this time in belief.
There was one line, amongst the physical suggestibles which undoubtedly made me believe that i am a "Physical" suggestible. What is that line ? Hehehehhe!!! Sssshhhh once again,
Once i accepted that, every line fitted as if my own description. I was back into my comfortable non-englightened zone once again.
I repeated the words mentally, ISRA means journey and i am in ISRA, how can i be back to where the journey started from, I shook off my old conditioning and started making an internal new neuropathway. This is where my previous learnings and readings came in handy. I was in simple joy to discover the person i had always been and i learnt a trick about solving my personal dilemna. For "physicals" to outshine and be in their element, we need " Relationship".
I have personally experienced this feeling which cannot be phrased and now i know its all about having a relationship bond. If that bond is perfect, "physicals" become light of the family/workplace/parties. Why was i not in the spotlight for such a long time ? RELATIONSHIP!!!!! And if not in spotlight , recluse! retreat back in life,
She recommended "Breathing out exercises"for all Physical suggestibles". I had to scribble this down on my writing pad. Why am i at ease? Cause i now know exact the "ISRA" that i have to take. I have to learn to do "Breathing out" so shall it be!!!
Suprise number 3:- This was a learning for me, why people cannot take decisions for themselves, and why people behave and react in a particular manner. The "Emotional" suggestible type of people just cannot make up their own minds. Its not their fault, What is the cure for this ? " Walk it out " she said, I smiled, as i rephrased it to "Take a walk". I learnt a good deal of both types being opposite and i could for once relate this to relationships.
There was a SOMNAC type which is a mixture of the above 2 suggestibles. They change like chameleons to adapt to a situation.
At the end of this session i felt the intention , i posted pre workshop blog spot had come true. When i walked out of this last workshop,
The 3 workshops attended and one ISRA completed. Was it worth the time, Yes, good people to learn along.
Sneha et Shashank are good peeps who participate in each of the sessions. I like the manner in which Sneha always clarifies many a things and adds her value addition to each session. Shashank can be remembered best for 1) being a director of the company and 2) the timely and best tea/samosa server * he he he he * He manages everything to be on time,
Thanx to both of you sweet people, Good company ISRA, great workshops, good participant crowd. very well done !!!
As i end one ISRA, i am about to find a path that leads to the 2nd ISRA (journey). Few heart felt words from me to all of you:-
I came to follow i found myself leading, who leads me into the path i seek,
When i looked back, i saw a dark light, when i looked ahead i found everything in sight.
Thank you ISRA , Thank you each of the trainers, and thank you all participants who accompanied me
THANK YOU ALL
Instant bonding over the first &second workshop and then onto some raves and rants about my blog posting for the 1st workshop.

Before attending the "Head To Heart" mini workshop
Exciting morning, its a rainy day and i look forward to the 3rd mini workshop this evening. "Head to heart". I anticipate it to be an experience. My attention is here on it already and my intention is to ensure i have an amazing experience and lot of fun.
The idea of attending workshops involves money which could be expensive for some and i would recommend it to those who have already gained some expertise in the subject matter of choice and THEN attending most of the workshops.
Ideally a work shop would review some basics of the subject matter (Unless specified to be more advanced), provide an introduction into more higher next level and be a bonding place for the like minded. You could change these dynamics, There is a new way to think always. As you think, so shall it be!
Past conditioning occupies most of our thoughts everyday, Every day we think the same thought behavioural patterns and provide nuturing to the mental capacity we hold within ourselves. When we were children we are taught to think. Some children are taught not to think, accept the world as it is. Yes there are people who were taught not to think for themselves. What are you teaching yourself now, has its roots way back to childhood. And if you havent taught yourself anything new, time to change. Just read a book simplest way to learn, and of course the internet is always on. Research some topics of interests on the internet and you are better than 99 % of the world who didn't do this research. That is how you become better. You do things, others have not done before or you do it better than those who have already done it.
So its in the better interest of the self, so enroll in a workshop, observe meet strangers, some in the best moments of their lives, some at the worst moments in their life, and watch this unfolding of group participation and take some value.
My attention is "anything interesting can happen now" and my intention is more deeper mentioned above.
At times nature decides to change the dynamics for me and i feel helpless. At such moments i feel i have to surrender to the higher will of the source god and follow the path it leads me in life.
The work shop is few hours away and there is a trial highway run between my heart and head already.
I think i am ready for that workshop now.
Once i attend that workshop, I shall post my review of the workshop later.Let this wonderful day unfold.

My attendance in a mini workshop - Heal Your Life - Louise Hay
This review is for the 2nd workshop held at the same venue of the 1st workshop. That was a saturday, This day was a Sunday. Timing 9:30 am * amazement look* OOOhhhhhh, aaaahhhh, sunday morning !!!!!
All i can say to this is "Whuuuu bring it on !!! what a rush !!! exciting! amazing !!! good decision too!! The sweet people at ISRA at the "east meets west " welcome done, "hellooooos" said at random and seated where empty space available !!
Now i found myself in attendance on the "Louise Hay" mini workshop. New faces , new energy into the room, and yes the room was packed with energy. "Wwwwhhuuuuuuuu bring it on !!" once again.
The trainer was a nice lady who had attended the original "Louise Hay" workshop, travelled & trained across the globe. There was something simple yet magnetic about this lady. Somehow i could relate this lady was someone who walks her talk. After the first few minutes i could see this lady was in her element of training work. She knew her stuff! she had a work book in hand and all material handouts given. I could already anticipate this workshop would NOT finish off in 4 hours time !!! Was i correct? * nods head in agreement *
Few moments as usual entertained me, as i smiled to myself listening to the different participants. Some had read the works of Louise Hay and some had not. This was the bonding factor between the trainer and the people around.
Me? I choose to be silent. I kept my urge to speak out mainly because my cup was not yet full, There is a threshold of silence i choose, and then i normally burst out. My cup was NOT yet full. I need that listening, I paid money to listen ? not to speak out ? Hehehehehe!!! Jokes aside.
I listened and i heard, and i listened and i heard , a lot of knowledge flowing criss cross from trainer to the participants and from them back to the trainer. I spoke when the cup of my inner silence flowed over.
I knew what i had to take back from this workshop! I awaited for that moment. I needed some personal revision on manifestation and affirmations. The workshop unfolded and wham the time to sip tea came.
There were 2 ladies from the 1st workshop and the new participants were none the less in energy. Someone was smiling, someone was giving out grouchy suspicious looks, some were bonding, and few like me were in silence. Now amazing thing i noticed within the room.
I could write a chapter on this new finding. Power ! dare i label it ?
Within the room everyone was automatically a group.even before they realized it. The silent peeps sat together , the agressive peeps sat together, the learned sat together and the trainer gurus sat together. I noticed this within the first few moments of settling in. Now no one knew each other yet the room automatically had this configuration. Was this going to help ? I guess, lets see i said to myself.
There was a moment in the workshop which allowed us to interact with people who perceive us to be different than they are. Yet i suspected people who were the same interacted. Reason ? People hate changes. Or may be i perceived them to be same?
In the workshop, message cards were handed out to be exchanged with strangers within the room. Every one was smiling and i found one particular card come across to me exchanged 3 times right till the end of the workshop.
Ultimately when i read that card for the 3rd time , at the end of the workshop, someone asked me if they could exchange this card with theirs? I exchanged it and the new card unfolded the clues that i needed , to move ahead in life. The die was cast and the various messages was read. I could relate to the messages.
I held back till i could but then at a moment I had to speak about "attention & intention" to the group.They listened, they nodded. Even if one of them really understood this concept, they would have much more value addition in their daily life. What you put your attention on is not necessarily to be your intention. Me, i intend not to fall sick even if someone in the room has sniffling cold. My attention is on my good health not their sickness. I intend to feel happy and healthy wherever i am , with whosoever i am.
There was a fantastic exercise of "affirmation bath" wherein i found myself seated with my eyes closed surrounded by a small group of people who repeated the affirmations around me.
This was a forceful amazing powerful moment. Towards the end of this "affirmation bath" all i could do was "thank you "the people who spoke those affirmations to me. "Whhhuuuuuu" once again, amazing! I thank the people seated around me twice. It was their attention on my intention. This is a powerful moment.
Its not easy for me to keep my eyes closed in company of strangers. And this went through flawlessly no tension no pressure. May be "the power" i said previously took over and i could somehow "trust" myself to keep my eyes closed for those 2 minutes.
Later on i asked myself if i could have closed my eyes to any other 3 participants? Ummm Nopes!!this temporary bonding group was meant to be. Somehow i understood the seating arrangement that i had noticed upon the start of this workshop. They didnt plan it, i noticed it, and i felt it had to have a reason. This was the reason ? May be, may be not, who knows.
The session took well over the time allocated and the previously given handouts were helpful take outs from this workshop.
Bye bye's said and workshop done. 1 day later i found my personal space and thats when i decided a review should be posted here. This is it!

Witnessing nature at its finest
See this picture, It is a picture of an orchid plant on my balcony . 2 events forced me to take a picture of this plant. One the "bending or turning " flowering stem.
The question that came in my mind was " look at the child being nutured by the main stem, who and how made it turn, why this angle and why after such a long growth of stem?
The reply came, when the flowering stem gives its flowering it will need an extra support at THAT length and THAT moment of flowering time. Is this not a wonderful planning and sequence of event unfolding ? The moment could not gather enough knowledge and verbal languages restrict me to express this feeling.
The closest language allows me to admire my amazement at nature is a line from the lyrics of the song " Sound of silence - People talking without speaking" . For me this is mother nature talking without speaking.
To recap i am amazed that mother nature first put in the main stem , then after months a new stem came next to it, then a new flowering stem came up and it grew straight for a few days and today i see this wonderful change turn resting on the main stem. This means , to take care of the flowering stem, nature had already planned the single main stem long long long moments ago.
A movie i recently saw had these lines in it " Life is not measured by the breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away."
How true, how true i said to myself , as i pulled the camera away from the amazement.
Same plant, same day , see the new stem coming up from the base , second amazing moment isnt it ? This is a moment that takes my breath away. Amazing nature, Life too unfolds similarly, Thus relax and let nature do its perfection. An audio i heard long time back had this line in it " in my world everything is perfect"
I choose to accept this line and let perfection unfold life with me as a participant in it.
One of my lines :- Nature made everything, why resist and fight with mother nature? You cannot win anyways, so why crib or fight nature? Join nature and be a witness to the unfolding.

My attendance in a mini workshop - Exploring your inner child
Who? What? I am 37 years old and you want me to explore my inner child?
Ever heard from someone you love utmost " Stop acting like a child/ or You are a child " ? Well i have heard this line from someone i loved utmost many a times.
Alrighty then, ever witnessed this moment ?:- you wake up and the first thought that strikes you is i am a child,i dont have to worry about time. Then you ask yourself,what is the time right now? your half open eyes and you feel 2 possibilities. 1) it is the normal time you wake up everyday , OR 2) is it the late afternoon and you over slept after a long time. Time ? What is time ? I do not wear a watch. Concept of time does not hold meaning to me personally.
How did this experience come about ? Well take a journey to the inner child within you.
Recently in continuing my journey to self development ( Journey is on since more than 15 years by now..) i came across an advertisment with 3 mini workshop series.I never read advertisments and usually skip through. But subconciously i had somehow read that advertisment and thrown the paper away. Few hours later within the day i recalled that advertisement did not have an address but phone numbers, so i decided to at least find out the information and then decide. I thought most of these programs are done by half trained or not trained at all make a-quick-buck charlatans and i would know much more than the trainers. True story !!!!
Then after 2 days i found out the paper and called the first mobile number. I expected a half motivated receptionist in some company to dole out the information. Already i had researched the information, visited their website,( although not mentioned in the advertisement).
I had infact more knowledge than that mini series. I already listened to audio of much greater masters in the subject and this i have been doing for many a years now. I start my day with positive preachings of masters in various mind body fields. It is a better option than opening the morning newspaper and seeing bad wrong doings splattered across in gory details across the world. If its not that, then you find advertisements in colorful drama. The work shop advertisment was viewed listening to one such audio series. This advertisment was simple and to the point.
So now, for me the situation is :- I know about the subject, i dont know what this workshop will dole out, after all its a 4 hour workshop and the subject is much wider.
I called up and much to my astonishment, the number was not reacheable. Again i let it be. Then i received a call back from the number and the guy on the other end was polite, fluent in english, and like i expected some information was spewed out with the conversation. The guy knew his job well. Good work Jeet ! thank you !!! I was impressed. And it takes a heck lot more than normal to impress me ( and he was a male )
A man impressing upon a man is much much harder and i am known not to be impressed by most people and easily bored at the quickest opportunity.i do not like to tolerate and i rate my time more valuable & important than anyone else.
Jeet's language and the manner in which he "doled" out the information made it interesting, and then he gave out the last piece of information "costs" . I had already known the costs ( as i had done my homework very well).The advertisment did not mention any costs with it. The website did. Hehe he he he !!!
I smiled as he mentioned "the costs per work shop" and i told him i wanted to enroll for all 3 workshops. He offered me a 15% discount and it didnt make a difference to me ( why not? is mentioned below) but since he offered it to me i was happy that this is not an establishment who is on with the sole purpose to make money. Most others are, and its not a sin to earn money. But i say atleast do it with some style and a honest attitude.
Alright they dont accept online credit card payments. $#@$#@ i said to myself how in the world !!!! what kind of joint is this ? But for me the journey to self development was to take a step further. And i had identified this step irrespective who conducted it. The step had to be taken. Money had to be given and i had to enroll myself as a gift to myself. It was affordable.
Problems :- registration was confirmed against receipt of payment. They offer online deposit into their account which i did not use as my preferred mode of payment. Only 2 days left for the workshop and a courier would take 1 day for delivery. Plus added problem they didnt have seats, so my confirmation was waiting in line, as number 3. If those 3 people did not turn up then he would call upon me. At the same time i was very confident that i would get the seat.
So confident in the conceptual belief. While talking to jeet on the 3rd phone call i wrote down the cheque and gave him the number of the cheque. After some time he confirmed my participation and seat. Thank you Jeet, pleasure to talk to you. Never met the man but I think he is cool "dude" !!
On the venue i turned up on time to enter the workshop. That venue building is not a 5 star work place, im used to 5 star work buildings.Life has pampered me well atleast with few personal moments. Lo and behold !!! I tried to find the venue on the 1st floor and i saw 2 pretty smiling individuals, one man in jeans, one lady in traditional indian dress. Immediate i said "East meets west" in my mind and i asked the man if this was the venue of the organization. He smiled & shook my hands at the entrance and the pretty lady gave a welcoming smile and that sealed the "warm welcome". I entered the room and i saw 3 ladies seated and talking with each other. Now they were starring at me, i whispered a "helloooo" and took a seat . Remember the part of me getting bored very
easily ? Next 15 minutes started to amaze me yet bored me.But i have my own moments to keep myself entertained. For me the world is a "funny place" and i found their usual activities making me smile and at one time burst into a wider smile with laughter. ( This is what i do in places where i find myself waiting for something to happpen).
Then more ladies entered. I said to myself "aside from the man in jeans its going to be one big kitty party". Dont get me wrong, but they were married well settled and i, a single 37 year old surrounded by them. * big Gulp* ....Each of the ladies well dressed and affectionately & instantly connected with each other and this was a pleasure to be surrounded between such friendship and comaradrie.
Mind transforms into matter, This is my belief. So i introduced the thought of enjoying laughing and sharing my wide knowledge with these participants. Bring the fun on !!!! Lo and behold, the pretty lady in the pretty indian dress kick started the session , introduced us to a lady who seemed to be"very high on life" I waited and awaited. The session started and the energy of this "high on life" lady filled the room with excitment. I was at total ease during the entire session, and not bored for a moment. The moment i sensed there was a requirement for input from my side, I said my $0.2 cent worth statements. There i discovered a lady who claimed she was diagnozed with cancer. Her face potrayed the fear of that diagnosis she was given. DAHYM !!!! time for me to make my statement to the group. Moments ago my $0.2 cent line was " it is not the event, its the meaning you give to an event" and i had to help the lady and the group. I made a statement that when you are happy, your cells are happy and the body starts to make interleuken. which is a powerful anti cancer natural cure within the pharmacy of our own body when you are sad , then your cells are sad and they work sadly and this in turn effects and ensures the meaning you give to that event.
The session continued and i was surprised and glad to know they all clapped for me. * Big Gulp * and i thought everyone knew this?
Studies i have read say, interleuken is produced within the body when you really enjoy yourself. ITS NOT THE EXPERIENCE IT IS THE INTERPRETATION OF THE Experience. NEVER , EVER THE EVENT ITSELF. tHE EVENT HAS NO MEANING BY ITSELF.
To me, i have learnt and known enough to understand that a doctor's diagnosis of cancer does NOT mean anything at all, "Cancer is a name given to a specific discovery within the body, inside the blood and cells. Every body has cancer, its junk bad cells and its eliminated by the beauty of the body functionality. I strongly believe, when you laugh heartily and have lots of fun, your good cells within the body start their production. Happy cells start happy work which is elimination of the bad cells within our body.
These are my own personal belief and not to be construed as any medical advice, I am a manager not a doctor.
My advice, life is a field of infinite possibilities, with wide probabilities. Years ago i heard this line, if you take a watch to a man who owns a hammer, he is going to use his hammer on THAT watch. Dont blame him, but your watch will not be a watch for a long time. If you take your new car to a mechanic, he HAS to open the bonnet and its functionality has to be tinkered to HIS satisfaction, not yours. A watch repairman would never repair a watch to show the perfect time, thats his job which earns him money and you have to keep going to him often to get your precious watch repaired. If you visit a doctor, its either the doctor's interpretation or yours.
One time a surgeon /doctor told me i needed surgery for a 1 inch bleeding growth in the center of my chest. My mother who was along with me & she had to hear these words from the doctor " there is a possibility of cancer and its close to the heart. I will do a laser surgery and within 2 hours your son will be alright, no scars and medication to be continued .
This was more than a decade ago, in my college going days. Mom was scared and we immediately agreed to it. Minutes later my inner child said "he has a new laser machine which he has to use on me.. Lets skip this. try ayurveda try something else, try. Till date im glad to say no surgery and that growth is a miniscule protude somewhere on my chest. Till date no chest pain or anything. It didnt grow, it started disappearing because of the meaning i gave it.
Coming back to the session, we learnt how to drum, learnt a nice manner to get in touch with the inner child.
The participants were all nice folks, the trainer knew her job very well and was impressive. The people at ISRA did impress upon me and i got what i wanted from the workshop. I woke up this morning as a child and exactly like my child like behaviour. Thats when i felt the workshop was effective and gave me an urge to put this positing on my blog and make it a memorable read. Thank you.
Ever heard from someone you love utmost " Stop acting like a child/ or You are a child " ? Well i have heard this line from someone i loved utmost many a times.
Alrighty then, ever witnessed this moment ?:- you wake up and the first thought that strikes you is i am a child,i dont have to worry about time. Then you ask yourself,what is the time right now? your half open eyes and you feel 2 possibilities. 1) it is the normal time you wake up everyday , OR 2) is it the late afternoon and you over slept after a long time. Time ? What is time ? I do not wear a watch. Concept of time does not hold meaning to me personally.
How did this experience come about ? Well take a journey to the inner child within you.
Recently in continuing my journey to self development ( Journey is on since more than 15 years by now..) i came across an advertisment with 3 mini workshop series.I never read advertisments and usually skip through. But subconciously i had somehow read that advertisment and thrown the paper away. Few hours later within the day i recalled that advertisement did not have an address but phone numbers, so i decided to at least find out the information and then decide. I thought most of these programs are done by half trained or not trained at all make a-quick-buck charlatans and i would know much more than the trainers. True story !!!!
Then after 2 days i found out the paper and called the first mobile number. I expected a half motivated receptionist in some company to dole out the information. Already i had researched the information, visited their website,( although not mentioned in the advertisement).
I had infact more knowledge than that mini series. I already listened to audio of much greater masters in the subject and this i have been doing for many a years now. I start my day with positive preachings of masters in various mind body fields. It is a better option than opening the morning newspaper and seeing bad wrong doings splattered across in gory details across the world. If its not that, then you find advertisements in colorful drama. The work shop advertisment was viewed listening to one such audio series. This advertisment was simple and to the point.
So now, for me the situation is :- I know about the subject, i dont know what this workshop will dole out, after all its a 4 hour workshop and the subject is much wider.
I called up and much to my astonishment, the number was not reacheable. Again i let it be. Then i received a call back from the number and the guy on the other end was polite, fluent in english, and like i expected some information was spewed out with the conversation. The guy knew his job well. Good work Jeet ! thank you !!! I was impressed. And it takes a heck lot more than normal to impress me ( and he was a male )
A man impressing upon a man is much much harder and i am known not to be impressed by most people and easily bored at the quickest opportunity.i do not like to tolerate and i rate my time more valuable & important than anyone else.
Jeet's language and the manner in which he "doled" out the information made it interesting, and then he gave out the last piece of information "costs" . I had already known the costs ( as i had done my homework very well).The advertisment did not mention any costs with it. The website did. Hehe he he he !!!
I smiled as he mentioned "the costs per work shop" and i told him i wanted to enroll for all 3 workshops. He offered me a 15% discount and it didnt make a difference to me ( why not? is mentioned below) but since he offered it to me i was happy that this is not an establishment who is on with the sole purpose to make money. Most others are, and its not a sin to earn money. But i say atleast do it with some style and a honest attitude.
Alright they dont accept online credit card payments. $#@$#@ i said to myself how in the world !!!! what kind of joint is this ? But for me the journey to self development was to take a step further. And i had identified this step irrespective who conducted it. The step had to be taken. Money had to be given and i had to enroll myself as a gift to myself. It was affordable.
Problems :- registration was confirmed against receipt of payment. They offer online deposit into their account which i did not use as my preferred mode of payment. Only 2 days left for the workshop and a courier would take 1 day for delivery. Plus added problem they didnt have seats, so my confirmation was waiting in line, as number 3. If those 3 people did not turn up then he would call upon me. At the same time i was very confident that i would get the seat.
So confident in the conceptual belief. While talking to jeet on the 3rd phone call i wrote down the cheque and gave him the number of the cheque. After some time he confirmed my participation and seat. Thank you Jeet, pleasure to talk to you. Never met the man but I think he is cool "dude" !!
On the venue i turned up on time to enter the workshop. That venue building is not a 5 star work place, im used to 5 star work buildings.Life has pampered me well atleast with few personal moments. Lo and behold !!! I tried to find the venue on the 1st floor and i saw 2 pretty smiling individuals, one man in jeans, one lady in traditional indian dress. Immediate i said "East meets west" in my mind and i asked the man if this was the venue of the organization. He smiled & shook my hands at the entrance and the pretty lady gave a welcoming smile and that sealed the "warm welcome". I entered the room and i saw 3 ladies seated and talking with each other. Now they were starring at me, i whispered a "helloooo" and took a seat . Remember the part of me getting bored very

The bees and the flowers
As i sip on this exotic mixture of ceylonese green tea infused with moroccan mint , i wondered if its time to make this particular posting.....
The mind said no, the heart said yes, and an inner voice said , at least post the pictures...
so here we are:-
OPast few weeks a couple of bees have made my plant as their refugee home and they are quite persistent on making it. So i understand their intention. and nature wants me to take a look at these beautiful marvels, right in the comfort of my own home balcony.
Close up of the bee :-
Take a look at another beauty:- The "Raat Raani", the mysterious flowers open ONLY at night and reveal a heavenly scent which spreads across ...... These are new plants on my balcony. I like the concept of nature being a 24X 7 X non stop operational set up.
*Thumbs up to the gods that created this mysterious earth and its wonders*

The most original and sensible post for MTNL 3G settings in N97 mini
In moments of intense exchange of thoughts, a very wise learned man once said to me. Life is very simple, dont complicate it with your understanding. Initially i didnt understand its meaning, But moments later i had an "AA HAAA " moment and understood what the wise man really meant.
I recently got myself an airtel 3g connection, within half an hour found it makes more common sense to get a MTNL number and give up this airtel number.
After this phase i could not for the love of internet find settings on MTNL 3G. Like i mentioned before in one of my previous posts, on the internet most of the information is basically cut copy pasted information which really seems like people who post do not necessarily know what they have posted. I found one more interesting fact people who post about mobile phones, do not own them, LOL.Suprisingly this recycled information works well for lower life forms aka humans.
Since i didnt accept this recyled information i searched for the replies i need on my own and present it herewith with an intention to help someone, even if one person is helped, this post will have fulfilled its intention.
Applications ------> Phone Set up --------> Settings Wizard. and click operator. Lo and behold automatically your phone receives its necessary data. Unlike the send sms and call different numbers and helplines, this is a self reliant exercise and suddenly you wonder why didnt you think of this before ? Enjoy your GPRS/3G connection.

This is the easiest way to get 3G settings for any operator in Nokia N97 mini.Start with clicking Applications, then... follow the pictures

3G Airtel Mumbai - A review from an entity trying to be human
They say when the student is ready, the master shall appear, Similarly it takes me a hug amount of inspiration to write a blog post.
On 9th March 2011, the newspaper front page displayed a HUGE ADVERTISEMENT screaming 3G services had started in mumbai on airtel.
Incidentally i use Airtel for the past few years as my choice of billing provider ( some day ill write on this too) .... 5 minutes later i was on the internet reading reviews from users in other cities, and what i could expect. 15 minutes later than this , i was sipping hot tea and finding instructions to start 3G services.
This is not a post to review their services or processes. To each their own, i write this as my personal review ,raves & rants. Here it begins
Day 1:-Moments later welcome message:- everything enticing on how to select the plan with "budgetary considerations". my view is if they cared about my budget and wallet, they would have priced it free, and its not free, so it means they dont care. After reading around 10 reviews I came to the common sense conclusion the internet is a place of cut copy paste. Why ? Because 100 other links just had the same 10 or so reviews, word to word pasted same.
Then i send across the message and activated 3G. Each one has no information about video calls, because none of these so called gurus experts have any clue, seems they were paid to write that information. i could be wrong and assuming this but then im trying to be human so dont blame me.
News:- 3G services start after following their process, No information, no user instruction.Just a small welcome message. You are supposed to carry a grin on your face watching the 3G icon under the signal strength bars and please intimate yourself that you are welcome to 3G, Then after a lot of hassle and fact finding from other 2 websites i found out 3G activation is 1 part, you are supposed to select a 3G plan exclusively elsewhere and thats another process. Complied with the same and on advice on a colleague took the 100 MB for Rs:100 basic plan. Went through this same process twice to ensure 3G services actually start.
Day1 evening i cleared all my counters in my N97 Mini. This was done to check how much MB would actually be used per day per application per click, per everything that i could understand.
Speed tests revealed i was getting 80 kbps on my mobile ( where are the so called self proclaimed speeds of Mbps? didnt see any of those high speeds at all)
Day 2
The gods were pleased and lo behold 3G day begins, installed email application ( ensured it doesnt download full email , but only headers and that too i didnt download till now) then downloaded and installed 2 small (2 mb & 1 mb ) apps. Then surfed few websites here and there to check the speeds. Websites opened fine ( im not satisfied as with a 3G i was expecting it to load much faster ) Checked the data useage, showed a whopping 30 MB downloaded and 2 mb uploaded ( i dont need any information on this so skip using this bit of information when u reply my ranting as per normal human tendency)
Day 2 Afternoon , im convinced airtel 3G is NOT for me, neither is AIRTEL and this is due to the high rates and the pricing policy. I am well within the trying and testing Rs:100 per 100 MB selected package.Found out a 3G welcome page exists and that incremental costs per GB are higher
Day 2 Evening, I have narrowed down MTNL as a better service provider irrespective to whatever whoever says, and would be changing from airtel to MTNL within this week. the rates are much cheaper.
My personal obervations and understandings:-

My personal obervations and understandings:-
- I have not yet even done my first video call -The only reason one should ever undertake 3G is video calling and nothing else.
- The entire gamut of airtel 3g world seems to me personally a reincarnation of a failed WAP portal, which entices you to download everything at a cost.
- On day 2 i feel as if this entire Airtel 3G thingie is a resurrection of WAP portal. leaving aside the video calling facility.
- Totally unhappy with 3G hype. except for the benefit of video calling.
- But happy to change this service provider to a cheaper government owned service provider. Might take Mobile Number portability (MNP) and keep the number of my yesteryears as same.
- I have not yet made 1 video call yet and im changing from airtel to mtnl. Hows that ?
To end this post i repeat a few words that i had read In a business book, "take care of the eccentric first, the others dont need any more care".
