When mind is turtled : How to prevent it?

 I use term "turtled". Mind knows well when it goes turtled. There are some forces in the world, and around you that makes the mind turtled. The origin of these forces are- 

1. Negativity around you

2. Persistent bullying behaviour by someone. 

3. Adamant attitude 

4. Ego and arrogance 

Take little steps towards it. 

1. Think positive fore every few minutes . This stops recurring negative thoughts to linger on. For this faith is required. 

2. Resist bullying in small steps. Take positive steps from your side. Respond rather than over react. 

3. Say, but don't control. 

4. Lessen it by taking small steps. 

I cam across very beautiful article in Hindu over how mind can be prevented from being turtled.


Read it and then you know how turtling can be prevented and better be checked at its incipient stage.

Bus Journey Diaries : 01 Being Human

I kept sitting beside a window pane on a bus, to ask myself, "These trees look very beautiful, passing by. A cool breeze was also blowing though. Its spring season to be more apt."

Although I feel the wind brushing my hair, I try to rewind the good old days with my friends at college campus. I feel , I have come so far in life, but not so far from my college days. 

Some of my friends were Adhyan , Rajiv and Rahul Kushreshta,  Ravi Yadav, I rarely talk to them now. But then, If I had asked them to take a bus ride, they would have taken it as a great refresher activity. I remember going to zoo on a Vikram auto where all my friends were loaded with our friends. 

We took the visit for fun. I dont remember much details, but I realise how we enjoyed those simple ways of passing time amidst pressure of all mid sems and end sems. And then we would return to the campus at IITK.

Some of my friends suggested that passing time in campus was more refreshing than going outside the campus. It felt more energetic and refreshing. On one occasion of college festival , we roamed on the streets just hooting around, when the lights were out. This scared a lot of people, who were out there seriously for a troll !

We did not bother, if it was making others feel intimidating, so much was our guts. With time, this lessened, and it has stopped at all now. Now we have become sensible citizens. We have started behaving more nuanced. However, those rough edges of doing insensible activities, are still there in some form. 

I still, park my bike on wrong side, fret over insensible stuff, undermine the less efficient work by my subordinate. Sometimes, while taking a journey on bus to my workplace, it feels, with the wind, brushing against my hair, its good to make mistakes, be a sensible human being with all the insensitivities, not understandable to others.

First post in 2026

 This is my first post in 2026. Lot happened by in year 2025. Many things I learnt, unlearnt.

Sometimes I don't know myself what I want from life?

1. What is my ambition?

2. What are my goals ?

3. How do I fulfil them?

4. What is love? 

5. Why I sometimes feel hollow from inside?

6. What is the purpose of life? 

7. How do I enjoy each moment?

Dukh

 Is bar meri galti hai. Aaj din bhar maine 2 galti ki. 

Not to say that

Would have taken that in light spirit

Keep yourself in lighter spirit always.

Forgive and Forget. Have less ego.

Khushi


 Aj samjh me aya ki pyaar kya hota hai aur khusi kya hai. Peeche mud ke dekhta hu , aj mere paas wo sab hai jo mujhe chahiye tha. Ek job chahiye thi jisme mai logo ki madad kar saku. Aur wo sab chahiye tha jisse mujhe khusi mil sake. Aaj bhagwan par vishwas ho gya ki wo hain, wo hame sab dete hain jo hame chahiye. bas intejaar karna hota hai aur ankhe khuli rakhni hoti hai. Jab bhi man me nirasha aye aur lage ki ye mere sath kya ho gya? Tab bhagwan ki madad mangni chahiye . Wo hi hain jo hamesha hamaare sath rehte he aur madad karte rehte hain.

Kanto Ki Chubhan

 Is duniya me kho se gue hum,

Apna Vajood pehchan na paaye hum

Chubhte hue kaanto me apne seene ko paya har dam,

lahu nikalta raha

laal rang dekhte rahe hum,

kuchi bhi na kar paye hum .


Jab se hosh sambhaala

kuch paane ki chahat me 

hamesha mashakkat karte rahe hum

kabhi haasil hua

kabhi nahi

fir bhi haar na maane hum.


Seene me ye kasi chubhan hai

is kaante ke dard se nikalna chahte the hum

fir bhi yeh chubhta raha

is seene se nikaal na paye hum.


Ab bas yahi hai sahaara

kanto ki chubhan me jeena seekh gye hum,

use nikal kar koi fayda nhi,

kyuki inhi kanto se banta he jivan.

Happiness

Sometimes a decision requires courage. You may fear over the consequences of the action. You brood over them. Finally leading to no action. Also, crisis of conscience may jeopardise your effort to take action.

According to Bhagwad Gita, inaction should be avoided. Consicence can be resolved through clear thinking and letting the muddy water to settle.
Also, once you take action, you will feel deep sense of satisfaction and happiness.  

At this point, you have no fear and no worries of consequences. Also, whatever may be the result, you will feel : this is the best course to take.


Disappointment

 Feel very bad now.

This moment

 This moment is painful as well as beautiful. This moment I have no ambition. I have nothing to aspire. I have no regrets of past. I do not recall any painful past moments. 

But at this moment I am sitting  comfortably on a plastic chair typing this. I am enjoying the music of Mohit Chauhan. I have running fan over me giving me lighter and cooler air. 

I dont know what I will do next moment. Whether I will get up and fetch a glass of cold water? Or I will watch over the balcony? My mind is hinting at both. 

But at this moment I want to continue this writing with ear plugs attached. I wonder how else I can enjoy this moment? 


 I walked alone on the grass wet with dew drops

With no one beside me to hold my hands

With someone's voice always ringing in my ears,

and someone's anger tone always creating bewilderment,

And I walk, 

touching the wet grass, cold dew drops

thinking about someone. 

As I walk further, I feel ,

She is walking away from me,

With no apparent reason. 

With hesitation, I ask 

Do you want to touch the cold grass too with your feet?

She says, I want to go away,

The grass holds no meaning for me,

I see grass on the other side, 

full of life ..

She bids me good bye. 

I can not ask her to stay ,

but I feel, grass was greener this side !
