You have Children education commitment I don't care
You have children wedding commitment I don't care
 You have a car loan I don't care
You have parents to take care I don't care
You have loan commitment I don't care

A Tale of two seas

Recieved from a friend
A tale of Two Seas

Sitting in the Geography class in school, I remember how fascinated
I was when we were being taught all about the Dead Sea.

As you probably recall, the Dead Sea is really a Lake, not a sea (and as my Geography teacher pointed out,
if you understood that, it would guarantee 4 marks in the term paper!)

Its so high in salt content that the human body can float easily.
You can almost lie down and read a book!
The salt in the Dead Sea is as high as 35% - almost 10 times the normal ocean water.
And all that saltiness has meant that there is no life at all in the Dead Sea.
No fish. No vegetation. No sea animals. Nothing lives in the Dead sea.

And hence the name: Dead Sea.

While the Dead Sea has remained etched in my memory,
I don't seem to recall learning about the Sea of Galilee in my school Geography lesson.
So when I heard about the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea and the tale of the two seas - I was intrigued.

Turns out that the Sea of Galilee is just north of the Dead Sea.
Both the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea receive their water from river Jordan.
And yet, they are very, very different.

Unlike the Dead Sea, the Sea of Galilee is pretty, resplendent with rich, colorful marine life.
There are lots of plants. And lots of fish too.
In fact, the sea of Galilee is home to over twenty different types of fishes.

Same region, same source of water, and yet while one sea is full of life, the other is dead.
How come?

Here apparently why. The River Jordan flows into the Sea of Galilee and then flows out.
The water simply passes through the Sea of Galilee in and then out -
and that keeps the Sea healthy and vibrant, teeming with marine life.
 
But the Dead Sea is so far below the mean sea level, that it has no outlet.
The water flows in from the river Jordan, but does not flow out.
There are no outlet streams. It is estimated that over 7 million tons of water evaporate
from the Dead Sea every day. Leaving it salty. Too full of minerals. And unfit for any marine life.


The Dead Sea takes water from the River Jordan, and holds it.
It does not give. Result? No life at all.
 
Think about it.
 
Life is not just about getting. Its about giving.
We all need to be a bit like the Sea of Galilee.
 
We are fortunate to get wealth, knowledge, love and respect.
But if we don't learn to give, we could all end up like the Dead Sea.
The love and the respect, the wealth and the knowledge could all evaporate.
Like the water in the Dead Sea.
 
If we get the Dead Sea mentality of merely taking in more water,
more money, more everything the results can be disastrous.
Good idea to make sure that in the sea of your own life, you have outlets.
Many outlets. For love and wealth - and everything else that you get in your life.
Make sure you don't just get, you give too.

Open the taps. And you'll open the floodgates to happiness.

Make that a habit. To share. To give.
 
And experience life. Experience the magic!

SIP and KIP

SIP and KIP

Systematic Investment Planning

Some prudent investors resort to Systematic Investment Planning which is nothing but  setting aside a fraction of the earnings EVERY MONTH and invest in equities .. 

Over the years (if the time frame is LONG ENOUGH) ( Warren Buffet says "time" and not the "timing" is the key to his success) the investments
grow  (beating the vagaries of stock market) into a mini-fortune. 

Compared to those who are NOT investing and spending away the money, or NOT investing sufficiently, these people are very smart.

However these materialistic fortune cannot be carried over with individuals as they negotiate DEATH.

THE SMARTEST lot, also invest in what I call KARMIC INVESTMENT PLANNING. These people allocate one portion of their earnings in SIP or Systematic Investment Planning and one portion of the earning in KIP or Karmic Investment Planning.

SIP takes care of the needs, in the future, in this lifetime
KIP takes care of the needs, in the future, in the subsequent lifetimes. The fortunes of KIP are ported across lifetimes...

Karmic Investment Planning  is setting aside a portion of the earnings , every month, and invest in the fulfillment of the basic/essential needs of the needy underprivileged strangers.

If I can borrow a phrase from "Financial Investments" sector,  KIP is a "FUTURE"s option with a Long Payback Period (cutting across lifetimes) , DERIVED from Current investments...  

Sleepless nights

If someone says "Sleepless Nights.. " don't jump into a conclusion that (s)he is "in love.."
it could, as well be, the person is working for an IT(ES) company offshore Center supporting Americas...

ஒரு பழமொழி

கிளி போல ஒரு பொண்டாட்டி இருந்தாலும் கொரங்கு மாதிரி ஒரு வெப்பாட்டி வெச்சுப்பாங்க ....
அப்படின்னு ஒரு பழமொழி இருக்கு ....
அது உண்மையில்

கிளி போல் ஒரு பொண்டாட்டி இருந்தால் கொரங்கு மாதிரி இருந்தாலும் ஒரு வெப்பாட்டி வெச்சுப்பாங்க..
என்று இருந்திருக்க வேண்டுமென்று நினைக்கிறேன்.
கிளி பழத்தை அலகால் கொத்துவது போல சில மனைவியர் சொற்களால் கணவரை துளைப்பதால் இந்நிலை ஏற்பட்டு இப்பழமொழி தோன்றி இருக்க வேண்டும்

Life and Test Cricket

Life and Test Cricket ...
A world Class batsman leaves the outgoing ball or the one flying outside his off stump so as to remain in the crease to hit an appropriate ball to the ropes or even a Single for that matter ..
It is not just about grabbing an opportunity ....
It is also surviving there to utilise the opportunities ...
Anger, Aimlessness, Lust...are the bad balls .. Let us leave them
to score the glorious runs .. Harmony, peace ,prosperity..
