BIG BIRD THINKING

When there is a severe storm, birds with small wings are caught up in it, but large birds with strong wings fly upwards and save themselves from becoming victims of the storm.
On the basis of this phenomenon, there is a saying in the English language: “Big birds of the storm.” This applies to people of high thinking, to those who can save themselves from the environmental storm. That is, they can live on their own without becoming affected by the external world.
Who are the ‘big birds’ of the storm? They are the ‘big bird thinkers’, who can live independently, drawing on their own mental resources. Big bird thinkers are those who do not become angry even when provoked. They are those who maintain their positivity even in negative situations, who can control their thoughts in such a way that they can see all men and women as human beings, whether friends or foes, and who can keep the peace even if others turn violent.
‘Big bird thinkers’ are those who are so mature that nothing can distract them from their objectives, who give well-considered responses when in adverse situations, rather than simply indulging in an emotional backlash.

There is a saying in Hindi “Kutte bhonkte rehte hain aur hathi chalta rehta hai’’– the elephant walks on without being disturbed by barking dogs. This is the best illustration of one who has the capacity for ‘big bird thinking’. Life is full of storms, full of barking, full of untoward situations – these things are due to the laws of nature and no one is in a position to abolish the laws of nature. So, you have only two options: either to waste your time and energy by constantly stooping to reactionary behaviour or to ignore all undesirable situations and try to live like the elephant in the adage. Elephant-style living is the only successful way to live in this world.

‘Big bird thinking’ is only another name for spiritual thinking. Spirituality is not something mysterious: it is positive thinking. All spiritual people are positive thinkers and all positive thinkers are spiritual in nature. Spirituality and positive thinking are almost synonymous with each other. They never react to the situation, pretty much have control over the situation and very well composed about their reaction... Totally contradictory behavior for Newtons third law...for every action there is equal and opposite reaction, they prove this theory wrong :)

There is a beautiful story in Hindu mythology: Once a man became furious and he kicked Ram in the chest. Ram’s response was quite unique. He said: ‘‘Mere lokhan seene se tumhare komal paunwen ko chot to nahi lagi?”– I hope your soft leg was not hurt by my iron chest.
Spiritual behaviour is friendly behaviour towards every human being -- to both friends and foes alike. Spiritual behaviour is like the behaviour of flowers that can live with all their fragrance in the neighbourhood of thorns.

Spirituality is good for the allround development of the individual’s personality, for it makes you free of tension and friendly towards all. Spirituality is the way to all kind of success. Positive thinking makes you a ‘big bird thinker’ and ‘big bird thinking’ imbues the human character with spirituality. Although this is an inner quality, it is this inner quality that has the power to better all your external affairs.

Just to Rap!!

Tonight is really quite and calm, gazing into deep sky...hardly any stars twinkling due to heavy cloudy clustering....

Insects buzzing around making hauting sound and  hushing air trying to hiss something in your ears.... as my windows are open and can smell scented flowers from small garden at back yard, gets my nurturing time to time.... I love this climate, not too hot and not too chill... nice breeze which makes you feel like wrapping duppatta around you and circling like old Hindi movies :)))))

Its almost mid - night now... Just wanted to share

how nice it feels...

how nice it feels...

when you are singing song tapping your heals....

My heart if full of praise

You can give a rise

I would like to have a rice

with bread, butter and fries

Stairs...DownStairs :)

I had a heart throbbing experience :) I would love to share it in my blog:) I work between 12 PM -9PM, later they changed my time to 11.30 AM to 8.30PM, since the building gets isolated after 8.30 PM

I work in the Government Building and we are at 19th floor, I restrict using the name of our building, since its one of the popular building in Bangalore, by the way lift stops working at sharp 9 PM , if you slip taking a look at your watch before 9 and don't wind up and pack your bags, you have to take stairs from19th floors with no lights :-)

I was one amonst  many I guess to take stairs, whistling or hummina an usual song to keep your mind occupied. I slipped on running away at sharp 9 PM and thought anyways I missed the lift, rammed my mind focussing to complete my tasks started winding up closer to 10 PM. I said good bye to few of my colleagues who just started working in the night shift at 9PM teasing them to be up all night whilst I get back partying and started towards the stairs. I just turn back to take a look at company logo at the main entrance,  it was shimmering......and went close to take a look at it and it seemed to be alright hanging in there... I thought my eyes were stressed.. probably.

I started tapping my heels on the stairs, like a tap dancer :) as my heels breaking sharp noise....I started humming a song Zombie...Its in your mind....zombie...aah hoo...aah..hooo......I started feeling exhausted as the stair never seemed to be ending at all,....when I saw last was 14th floor.....I came to 13th floor, that floor was a kind of smelling musty.....as if its not dusted for ages...painted in rusted blue and 13 floor painted in BOLD RED! and I thought of devils number, smirked looking at it and started down...and I completed 13th and next is suppose to be 12th right!!nahh...its 13 again!! i got confused same floor, same color and same rusty smell....my stomach started felling sick.....I brushed my hair and rubbed my eyes as If I am dreaming and started going down again....its same floor 13 again... I started running and its 13 again....looks like 13th floor is never ending!!! its almost 6 times....and I dont seem to be coming out of 13th floor...Like somebody programmed and kept me in loop at 13th floor.... started climbing up....so that I go back to work...and again I go to 13th floor.....I was lil panicked and started dialling office number... network is dead....I felt like trapped....

I heard weird whispers coming close to me with loud breath.....I started singing aloud and started chanting hanuman chalis....closed my eyes and started getting down the stairs...I was totally trapped...and i gathered little courage and stood on 13th floor and opened the glass, to seek for someone help....I could see popular Mall opposite, all lights are off and I check the time in my watch its struck at 10 PM and entire city seems to be sleeping.....I was confused as what NEXT and I started walking towards the lift and luckily I hear my office boy whistle and there he joins me and says madam its 12 PM what are you doing here? I was startled with no answer.

My heart halted for while, I skipped a heart beat and did not bother to explain him anything, I just cooked up story that I got call and went on for long !! we started conversing and there you go!! I was on ground floor, I ensured that he stays with me till I start my bike which was parked in the basement, dropped him till the gate, city was really lively on Friday night....It was christmas eve and entire city was like bright and lights everywhere. I could not believe my own eyes!! I am not sure when I looked through the window from floor...No light and pitch dark, was there power cut that time? NO CLUE! Did I fell asleep and started dreaming while walking!! NO CLUE, did the 13 floor really repeated many times...NO CLUE :)
