Every individual should have his/her own space in which he/she connects with the spiritual world which in turn enlighten their mind and manifests a positive attitude towards life. Connecting with your own self is more important and refreshing. Loving and knowing ourself leads to being a better human being and makes us more understanding towards others.
“I need my space……” “Please give me my space….” “That’s my personal space….’ These are the commonly made statements we usually hear. Exactly, what do we mean by “SPACE”.
Space means sometime, some moment for our self. We use the time to be all alone and pursue something that is closer to our heart. We just want to be all alone, to feel the peace within, to connect with the inner soul and to fall in love with ourselves. These moments of personal space helps us to be with ourselves, discover our self in a new way. When we are in our space, we are oblivious of the material world which passes by as we find ourselves transferred to a spiritual world. Sometimes we want to be alone, not because we had a fight or because got fed up with our self. We want to be alone because we want peace in the surrounding and peace in mind. Our space is the moment when we connect with ourselves. But to be alone does not mean we go into isolation. We can be alone even in a crowded space. Even if a place is hustling and bustling with people, we can be oblivion to the world around us and be able to connect to the power inside us, feel the light inside us. I think this feeling cannot be expressed in words, but can be felt in our soul.
Our personal space helps us to awaken and remind us that true mankind is above the petty fights and quarrels as the inner soul of all the people are the same and it is the connection with inner soul that matters. Our space should be healthy one and full of positivism. It should not make others uncomfortable. In fact, if we can, we should see to it that it spreads a positive aura around us.
It is the light that guides us and takes us forward, that gives us the supreme peace. This inner peace tells us what to choose and which path to follow. Let the light within keep glowing, guiding and enlightening.

Clinical Trials and Ethics Committees
Ethics committees meant to protect the rights of patients enrolled in clinical trials are doing the roaring business in the name of reviewing, approving and monitoring, specially the so-called independent ethics committees…
The clinical trials in India are loaded with harmful effects and their compensation mechanism is a big ‘NO’. What comes as a greater surprise is how the so-called ethics committee established to clear such experiments are raking in big money and doing nothing. No one seems to know what exactly are these entities; who owns them and who collects the revenue earned; how is it distributed and to whom, and how do they decide what amount to charge? They charge exorbitant amounts and earn fat packets from the business of vetting- actually, approving- trials.
In fact, there seem to be no clear-cut rules regarding who can form an IEC or how it is supposed to function. There seems to be no need to register it either. The result is that even clinical research organisation(CROs) that get contracts from companies to conduct trials can float their own independent ethics committees to clear trials without any hitch.

Light Of My Life
“A mother is a mother still,
the holiest thing alive.”
My sweet mom left for her heavenly aboard on 24Th Jan, 4.42a.m. I was not with her; I was far-far away. But yes, she took with her a part of me. No one can fill the special place she holds in my heart, in my life. Her heart was like an ocean of eternal love; she knew only to give and kept nothing for herself. People hurt her but she still loved them as she knew no hatred no revenge. She always thought the best for me and till end she continued giving me the best. In difficult times she stood like a pillar of strength, held my hand to give her warmth, and understood me to the core.
Whenever she enjoyed a moment, she made it a point to see me as a part of it. Small things of life made her happy and so she taught me to find happiness in small things. Whatever she loved, she gave it to me, kept nothing for her. Nobody tried to understand her, I was too far to hold her hand but my soul was with her. In her last days, she was a soul; hurt and lonely,
As a habit I sometimes pick up the phone to call her to share my moments or the happenings of the whole day. But then I realize, she will never pick up my call ever. Even if I look upwards and speak aloud, she cannot answer. Silenced forever. I really feel lonely, empty and left out as she can’t hear me anymore. She was like a shelter; in her death I have become homeless. My child hood has gone away with her.
Honestly at times I can’t believe she is no more, she is alive in me. Her loves, her memories, her teachings will always remain with me. For me she will live forever. I wish GOD could send her once to me, as I have so much to tell her. But I know she has taken a journey of no return.
May my darling MOTHER rest in peace…..

Enhance 'YOUR' personality
Enhance your personality by beautifying your inner self….
Everyone aspires to posses an dynamic personality. Looking attractive by enhancing yourself externally is not what you call a good personality. People don’t mind shelling out to join a course, they buy expensive items to enhance their look, they start wearing an attitude etc… With all this you may successfully attract people but not for long. But people go on loving and respecting you, if you are beautiful from within. External beauty fades one day but internal beauty goes on forever and they grow and grow to encompass all human-beings. They are great souls.
When you become beautiful from within, you gain strength, intelligence, freedom, your outer self glows. When these great souls speak, people recognize their greatness, and endear them forever. To have inner beauty you must a deeper understanding of yourself. Once you become self-aware, this will dispel all the ignorance about nature of yourself. And you become accepting and non-judgmental about yourself and others. Once you are aware of your own strengths and weakness and accept them for what they are, the rest follows: YOU HAVE ENTERED THE RHYTHM OF LIFE.
So, you develop your personality not by improving your external appearance but by expanding your capacity to understand yourself and others without judgment. You will then contain the world instead of it containing you. Lastly i would like to say- This change in yourself will make you more confident, ever-loving, exuberant with energy, excitement and cheerfulness. And give you the impetus to live life freely.

SORRY - A Beautiful healer
Say sorry without any reservations. Do not let your ego interfere. To err is human and we all are human. Say sorry and get over with it. Long live relationship.
“SORRY” a simple five letter word, so it seems but has in fact loads of emotions. All hesitate to say sorry and if also u utter this word, u don't mean it. After all, there is no value in saying sorry for something that u will repeat again. You should be sorry genuinely and say it from your heart. If wrong has been done by you, knowingly or unknowingly, saying sorry neutralizes and calms your feelings. Immediately a burden gets off from ur heart and you feel free. A message is conveyed that you are sorry for what you did and want to move forward with the relationship.
If you do not say sorry and keep the feelings to yourself, the concealed thoughts often hardens into revenge. And this is the worst emotion one can have. You should grow out of it and move forward to make the relationship strong. Don't let your inflated ego come in between and you go on disguising your feelings to others and end up as a disguised person to yourself. This wisdom you will not receive but you’ve got to discover it all by yourself.
Do you know trust is connected with “saying sorry”? By your wrong deed, you have lost the trust. No one will believe you anymore, thinking you might repeat it again. So when you say sorry you should make your victim believe that you will not repeat it again. And you are really sorry about what you did. Sometimes you say sorry for something You are forced to say or do, but you never wanted to! or you exactly dont mean it.
SORRY is a very beautiful warm word which immediately gives a healing effect to your heart. It soothes your anger and vanishes all the regrets. But still the word has been misused and abused. The word has many times been tossed in the midst of an argument more as a mockery, to show hatred for the other person rather than as a healing gesture. “SORRY” by itself doesn't mean an apology, you will be deceiving yourself by thinking hat by saying sorry you have mended whatever you had broken. Spoken without meaning it, it turns into an empty meaningless word and does nothing for the other party involved, to begin the healing process. If you are genuinely sorry then you have to do a little bit of homework to undo the damage.
One thing is sure, you must understand exactly what you have done to hurt, offend or pain that other person. And to understand that you have to go through introspection. You have to come out of the present situation and look at everything from a new perspective to size up the deeds and damage. And once you realize what exactly your wrong was, you must then don a mindset of humility. May be your pride, ego wont allow you to be sorry, but your humility will spread sincerity and repentance that the other party must see in order to have a hope of forgiving you. So with all the humbleness tell the other party that you will never repeat it again and so will never hurt anyone by your deed. Now you should stick to your promise and be determined not to repeat it. If you can, then in all the true humility and sincerity you can muster, you tell them exactly what you did wrong and how truly sorry you are. So break down your ego or your pride and be humble enough to say you are really sorry. Its a sweet word which without any delay gives you a free feeling and makes the bond stronger, when delivered.

A new mould in 2010...
The year 2009 said good-bye and dimmed off gradually. As always, a new dawn is welcomed. But the metamorphosis for the good taking place in 2009 will continue this year too, the year 2010. I created a beautiful world of my own, which took shape in 2009, and by 2010 it got fully peopled with love and trust, that i had chosen.
Some tragedies that struck a blow, remains finished and the debris lies buried in2009. Only memories creep into 2010.
Over all it was a mixture of good and bad,ugly and sweet, deciet and trust, sorrows and joys. Loosing an old world and creating a new one.
A "NEW ME" begins a new life 2010 onwards. . . . .

Bangalore visit
Change is necessary, otherwise life becomes monotonous. So we decided to go for a change on the eve of 27Th Dec 2009, a visit to Bangalore for a week. Went and returned by bus, the journey was enjoyable and comfortable.
Reached the next morning on 28Th Dec at 9:15. Stayed in a defence mess. Every morning we went out visiting places, shopping and hogging. Returned by night. We also visited Mysore. We celebrated and brought in the New Year(2010) in an Army Club. Me and my daughter danced to our heart's content. Altogether it was fun in galore.
On 1st Jan 2010 we started for Hyderabad and returned on 2nd morning 8:10. The visit gave loads of happiness and a world of change.
