A poetic man on mission - Dr. Kumar Vishwas

Dr. Kumar Vishwas needs no formal introduction in India. He is famous for his lines 'It is good to be a poet than a bad engineer' and that is exactly what he has been doing for the last 15 years.

Moreover, he has become more than that, a better human being with every passing day.

I had a chance to speak to him for the Spread Positivity! campaign and he agreed to share his story, thoughts and experiences in a very subtle but impressive way.

How he left is engineering degree, what came next and what was left behind, he speaks his heart out. He also talks about his upcoming project 'Bharat Boley'.

You can have a look at some of his videos as well.

Bhagat Singh - Man, Rebel and Victor

Long ago, I read that Bhagat Singh was an atheist. Sometime later, I also got to know that it was a propaganda by the communists to attract the younger generation of India by cashing in the name of Bhagat Singh, one of the greatest Indian revolutionaries. He wrote in one of his jail diary notes why he was an atheist. An excerpt from his note:

''In God man can find very strong consolation and support. Without Him, man has to depend upon himself. To stand upon one's own legs amid storms and hurricanes is not child's play. At such testing moments, vanity, if any, evaporates, and man cannot dare to defy the general beliefs, if he does, then we must conclude that he has got certain other strength than mere vanity.

Let us see how I carry on: one friend asked me to pray. When informed of my atheism, he said, "During your last days you will begin to believe". I said, No, dear Sir, it shall not be. I will think that to be an act of degradation and demoralization on my part. For selfish motives I am not going to pray. Readers and friends, "Is this vanity"? If it is, I stand for it. "- भगत सिंह

There is another man who spoke and wrote like him and he was known all across the world for his faith, knowledge and confidence. His name was स्वामी विवेकानंदा and he spoke once in Chicago and that speech made him immortal and well--known all across the globe. Personally, I feel that the feeling you get while listening to his speech is just similar to the feeling which you get when you read Bhagat Singh's jail notes, particularly the Atheism related post.

There are controversies related to both the text and the video/speech. But the feeling is awesome, mind blowing and motivating.

Why I Am An Atheist?

One School for All

Surya Pratap Deka

For change to happen, you either wait to see, or you choose to Be - says Surya Pratap Deka who is not more than 26 years in age but he holds the vision of a man who knows what he wants and that is what he has 'chosen' to do.

He has found a solution to the eternal far cries of the grown ups about Indian education system, he is in a process of establishing a school where he teaches human beings and not rich neither poor. All of his students are his friends who share an enlightened vision about India.

Fresh and New Life

This is a guest post by my friend Kamal Thakur. He is a prolific writer and thinker and smoker. :)

I liked this post of his so much that I decided to bring it here on my blog. I hope you will like+learn from it, as I did.

Are you bored of your life?

New things are not happening, that’s what everyone thinks. It’s the same old routine. You wake up in the morning, perform your early morning rituals and get ready for the office. This is specifically the case with people who are working for long hours in offices. School and college going students don’t have to suffer from this ‘same-old-things-everyday’ syndrome – they face new things now and then; their routines are limited. Sure the children wake up, brush their teeth, get ready for school everyday – but their days at school are all new and fresh. They don’t hold on to old memories so hard while an adult continues to look back; instead of focusing on ‘what is now’.

How could you make your life full of excitements, wonders and joys with same-old-things!

Boredom gives you a sense of non-fulfillment. You don’t feel satisfied with your life. So gear up for a ‘new’ change! You can change anything from your daily routine to work hours. Allotting a few hours per week to play your favorite game at local sports club is not a bad idea either. Don’t think about the cost of membership if you can actually afford it or make a cut in your monthly savings! We are talking about ‘living life’ here.

Well, if you are so much in love with your work, you can of course, choose to work day-night; then, I will say, you are not working, you are playing We ourselves are responsible to create new excitements in our life! And we do so, by making decisions! The decisions like ‘working in a specific profession, ‘working at that company’, ‘staying with that folk’, ‘being in relationship with that chick’, ‘play that game’, ‘watch that match’ and so on.

When something bothers you, you have to have a decision!

Other choice to is to get bored with your life and hate each moment of it. That will be really sad. Better take a decision – a new one!

How can anything new and exciting happen in your life if you keep doing the same old things. Have you been holding on to your attitude towards a particular person? Well, you are different now ..than you were five years ago. Your ideas about life have changed. You have grown a little old. Its very much possible that others have changed too! Why not have a better attitude towards others, expecting that they might have changed to your tune. That’s why wise men ask you not to be judgmental!

New things will not happen if you hold on to your opinion about a person, place or situation as ‘irritating person’, ‘nasty place’ or ‘confusing situation’. You will have to think in new ways possible! First of all, drop those words – irritating, nasty and confusing. Add the words that are new! Add the words that you like. Now you are really making a decision. Now you are really making a choice! I would love to make it – ‘wonderful person’, ‘awesome place’ or ‘lovely situation’. That will be a ‘NEW’ thought. That will sprout up as ‘NEW’ actions. That will manifest as ‘NEW’ change.

Micro changes – CREATE excitement, attract happiness and kick boredom

Make decisions at the level of thought. Change your attitudes towards a place, situation or person at the level of thoughts. To think is to do something subtly. To think is to create. If you really focus on the these micro changes (mental multimedia broadcast), you will certainly go crazy for sometime but you are going to float back to the safe harbor – the one with really greener grass.

Macro changes –Drop routines, take risks and be hopeful or carefree at least

Now you need to take your daily routines at task. You need to make some crucial decisions about your career. You better know how to turn your anger on and off at your own will. Why not have a small walk around the house instead of watching TV all day. Why not read or write a blog instead of fixing your eyes on your FB wall! Why not pay a visit to a friend, even if he has not called up in weeks!

Give a flip to your thinking pattern for sometime! Its no good if its not working, you know! Change your daily routines. That’s important, you see. Break free .. for a few hours every week.. at least! In the very least, we ought to respect our life that much.
