Better to be alone than in Bad Company.................

Daily we come across different category of people, some with positive talking & thinking and some with negative, even there are some category of people exists those who not only are negatively reinforced but also demotivate others by blaming their reason for failure, for which they might never ever tried to do so. 
I personally come across such person daily at least once and use to feel sad of them, but realized that being a trainer it is my duty to change them till they adopt the positiveness, if not then better to leave that person. Self esteem is very important after all....
As per George Washington's Line...........
"Associate yourself with men of good quality, if you esteem your own reputation, it's better to be alone than in Bad Company"....

A Vacation Trip to PURI………..


PURI, a tourist place in Odisha, most popular for the multiple tourisms – Cultural Tourism, Historical Tourism and Beach Tourism. Puri’s Lord Jagannath Temple attracts the cultural tourists, Konarak temples and other few forts attract the tourists interested in Historic Evolutions as the sculptures on the temple walls depict various transformations of emperors and their cultures, and finally the Puri Beach attracts tourists of Nature Lovers. 

It was my first visit to Puri. On April 15, 2012, I and my parents along with two of my friends had been to Puri. We reached Puri early in the morning and had a fantastic View of Sunrise on Sea shore.  

We stayed in a Hotel called “Victoria Club Hotel”, a good and economic hotel to stay. The best part of our staying was Sea View, the hotel was just beside the Sea-shore.
I was accompanied by my parents, my friend ABIR & and one of his cousin.
We went to Lord Jagannath Temple for Darshana, where our guide cum Pujari oriented us in and around of the temple with history related to each segments of the temple.

We had a nice sun bath on the beach, in the evening there use to be evening market on the beach popular for selling specialist shares, gift articles made out of Shankh and others.

Here are some snaps……..

A Train Journey to Bangalore………


After finishing my short vacation, I was traveling back from my native by a train (Yeshwanthpur–Howrah Express). In my compartment along with the other families there were few naughty kids too, who actually were jumping and playing all over the compartment. They were tremendously notorious while they were playing, I could see them not listening to their parents also on being warned as they were jumping from one berth to another vertically and that too with a competition of who can get into first.
I liked the kids…eventually came to know their names…..Aditi (Girl – 7 yrs), Adyait (Boy – 6 yrs) and Hansha (Girl – 2 yrs), all of them are studying in Bangalore Reputed Schools, except the little one (in fact the most naughtiest one).
The parents of the above kids were also enjoying their kid’s naughtiness, so am I, although I was literally scared of them if in case anything happened to them while climbing the berth. Well, it was all fine. To be very frank, I had never been notorious throughout my life (so far).
I thought of capturing them in my camera, we may never met again. After all it was a train journey, so many comes, so many travels, who remembers whom……









Lord Jagannath Darshan in PURI with my Parents…………….


It was 15th April’ 2012 (Sunday), when we boarded into the train DIGHA – PURI Express, we mean I and my parents. It was all pre-decided. And that was my first outing or vacation spending outside home with my parents. 
Actually the situation is quiet different now, after my younger brother passed away (last year in October month) my parents have become tremendously sad (obviously any parent will be) and I wanted to make them happy and bring the smile back on their face again although I knew that it was a difficult task for me, but ultimately, no one can do that except me as I am the very nearest to them than anyone in life. 
So I decided to take them to PURI, which is much popular place for spiritual tourism. PURI has a popular temple of Lord Vishnu as an Avatar called “Lord Jagannath”, hence the temple is called as PURI – JAGANNATH TEMPLE”.
 
The deity gods are Lord Jagannath (Krishna), Lord Balaram (Brother of Krishna) and Subhadra (Sister of Krishna & Balaram). Here the fact is quiet different, the outer look of the above gods are different from other avatars. Here you can find the Gods have only half of their hands and eyes are round.
The story goes like this as it was shared by the Panda Madhusudan, who was in fact our guide as well as pujari in the temple (and was also well known to us from before itself)…..
There was a King who ruled Orissa State much earlier and was devotee of Lord Narayana. The king had much desire to meet his deity God, so he started praying to god by being in scared place for a long time. One fine day, God was pleased and appeared in front of him and asked him to demand for a wish. The king demanded to have his deity god in his palace forever, so that he can see his god and offer Puja as well on regular basis. God accepted king’s wish, but had given a condition that king had to make his idol as similar to the GOD himself, the only fact would be on the Puja time God himself will be turned from Idol to real (but on the right time), added to that God also said the idol must be made inside a closed temple with keys locked from outside for 21 days and no one should open the door till the creation getting over.
The king agreed and happily started working on his deity God’s instruction. An idol creator (Karigar in local language) was appointed and stated his work sincerely. After 14 days of work, the queen was in doubt whether the Karigar was alive or not since he had not taken any food at all since the first day he was locked inside the temple to make the idol, on being tensed she finally opened the door of the temple and found that God’s all the limbs were created perfectly except the hand which were made just half till elbow level.
Yes, that was it. As per the conditions given by God, further creation to completion did not happen at all and the god remained like that.
The Pujari took us in and around the temple and explained us about the story behind each of the temple, sculptures and Gods. The temple has four main gates, out of which East Gate and South Gate are the biggest and more traffic oriented gates. We have seen God’s Bhog making area with 56 different Bhogs (Bhogs are the Prasadam offered to GOD)

(Photographs are taken from Google.com as it was not allowed to take pictures inside the temple)

My Tuition Teacher in Early College Days…………..


Mr. Harekrishna Tamli, a simple Gentle Man, non-aggressive in nature. I used to take mathematics tuition from him while studying Mathematics Honors under Vidyasagar University (West Bengal).
It was actually been a long days to meet him. I went to his house to greet him and wish him and his family with the prosperous New Bengali New Year (Bangla Nabo Barsho). He is young, dynamic and a good mentor. He is the teacher of Govt. High School quiet not so far from his residence. I met him this time during my short visit to Native. We were delighted to meet each other after all we have had a good relationship.
We exchanged lot of words and opinions about the general happenings in our life and handling them.
