Zen O Zen - Part 1

This  'Zen o Zen' series is my quest for zen that started in 2007 and will contain some wonderful zen thoughts that I would like to share as it could be of great help to those who are in search of peace and happiness. In the process of finding happiness , we either rely on the things that has happened in the past or that we are expecting to happen in future. No one bothers to find it in their present.  Below is the excerpt from Dr. Martin luther king Jr.'s speech. Awesome lines....must read for all those who complain about their present state, the work they do or they are forced to do!! And when you discover what you will be in your life, set out to do it as if God Almighty called you at this particular moment in history to do it. don't just set out to do a good job.

Terima Kasih Bali - Akkarai seemai azhaginile - Part -2

Image
Honesty - Seldom do we get to see honest people. When in my own motherland , the auto rickshaw walah took away my purse which had a low cost mobile, pancard and some chillar money in it couple of years ago in front of my eyes, how can I have any expectation from a foreign land , where thousands of tourists come and go daily? That is how I felt when my partner lost his wallet in Bali , where we were out on a holiday trip few months ago. Two more days to go for the return flight, hotel bills to be settled and our daily needs to met for the rest of the trip with two little kids, we were slightly disheartened that our hardearned money had gone for a toss.
