May 20 2020, Summer party at William Henry Apartment

We are going through a tough time and everybody is going through either boredom or frustration because of staying in the home. In order to freshen up ourselves and socialize a little bit with our classmates whom we did not meet for months despite staying 3-4 buildings away, we decided to invite people for dinner where we cooked Indian food Puri, Mix-veg, Rajma Chawal, and the sweet dish gulab jamun and sewaiya. We realized that although we are restricted to stay home, life can still move on and we can put a refresh button in our life and get back to normal after such get together. Everyday need not be special. Small and happy steps everyday would lead to a very cheerful and fruitful life. That is it for tonight guys. Keep smiling and stay safe. We will fight this pandemic together. Cheers!

My idols

I have never been an achiever or great at whatever I pursue but I believe that there should always be someone in your life who makes you more disciplined towards your goal. I want to do multiple things in my life as a career and I thus idolize multiple people whose aura is incredible. My idols are Shri Amitabh Bachchan, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam & Roman Saini. I think everybody knows their achievement but I would like to tell what I learned from each of the above-mentioned geniuses.  1) Shri Amitabh Bachchan: The legendary Bollywood actor is a symbol of hard work, commitment and never say die attitude. I am highly impressed by his professionalism, work ethics and showing humility towards everyone. He works for almost 18 hours every day at this age which shows the passion towards his work. Salute to this man!

2) Mahendra Singh Dhoni: Cricket is religion in India and Sachin Tendulkar is the god, I agree but the substance to the character this guy has is absolutely incredible. This man can stay calm in his success and failure which inspires me a lot. He follows the principle of never let success get to your head and never let failure get to your heart. Take a bow Mahi!!

3) Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam: He is the ideogram of simplicity and patriotism. I am a very small person to even discuss his achievements. He lived through his works and left behind an inspirational legacy for children of this great country INDIA!

4) Roman Saini: This person is an absolute genius. He worked so hard to crack country’s toughest examination and became the highest rank officer in Indian government. Anybody would feel complacent by such great achievement at very small age, but this man left the lucrative job and started an online platform of free education with his childhood friend Gaurav Munjal. He is a class apart. Kudos man! I hope I keep getting inspired by them and learn self-discipline because I feel motivation is temporary, discipline is permanent.

Happiness

It is impossible for me to write blog daily because when I write something, I don’t have enough to express as my life keeps revolving around my constant complaints about not being happy with what I am doing and in a generic sense,I think this is the truth with everyone except subtle differences in expressing the way their life goes. A few months back, I realized that it is very important to enjoy what you are doing. Even if you are paid millions of dollars and you are not happy or enjoying the work or duty assigned to you, the feeling of being rich will start deteriorating because you are only wealthy in front of the world but from inside you are totally depressed and half of the time keep wondering about how to get out of this situation or job. Studies reveal that around 80 % of the people in this world are not happy with what they are doing and these people also include the top management people from giant multinational companies. We must start loving what we do or we should do what we enjoy doing. Another important factor that I noticed we lack is that we do not work to make a creative thing. Creativity is often misunderstood with artistic ability. Creativity is the ability to give new ideas on whatever existing things you are working on, it is just the matter of observation around you, Once you start cultivating those things, It will be easy for you to cope up in your professional front. Another topic on which I continuously think about is spirituality, it is attached to everyone because a person’s character is known by the values that he owns inside him. This is not a trivial thing, it is very deep and once you start connecting with yourself, the world means nothing to you.

Start connecting yourself with nature and then know how beautiful this life will become, try to use social media only for a fruitful purpose. God Bless Best Regards Shivang Suchak 15th March 2018

Life @ Jaaga-part 2

As mentioned in my earlier post, Life at Jaaga. I gave an introduction about what is Jaaga community and how we learn technology in a different way by staying in a farm with a yoga practice on a regular basis.

The experience so far has been amazing.Yesterday I visited at Jaaga Startup, where lot of startups work in a co-working space. I  was motivated by the environment here. People working here and following their passion to create something which helps people solve their problems is something incredible.

To do something for others always drive me from within and coming here made me rethink about my dreams and passion for writing. 

Staying for more than 2 months in a farm, I think we all have a customised life if we consider “metropolitan life”. Everything we practically do is a customisation of the simple things, we customise our foods (like toppings on pizza :P), we customise our dresses, we dislike simple or low cost things nowadays. The farm life is much  more simpler than the outside city life, but I think you get way more mental peace in a farm than you get in the city.The irony is that we all long for the luxurious and materialistic things but we lack inner peace. I think before fantasising about the outer world, we should work on the mechanism of our inner engineering.

मित्रता

किसी के लिये एहसास तो किसी के लिये जज़्बात है ,

दोस्ती तो सारे रिश्तो का सरताज है ।

युं आसान नहि होता ये रिश्ता निभाना ,

ये तो बेवफा लोगो के लिये मोहताज है ।

Connect with nature :)

There she stood, under the tree thinking about where this world is heading in the era of technology. 

The festivals now hold no cultural importance and are only meant to click selfies and upload on social media.

It is a matter of great wonder how other's comment on our facebook status defines our mood. 

The project deadlines is a nightmare and drinking/smoking on weekends feel heaven. 

The girl is astonished after thinking that why are we so unconnected to nature. 

Is there no higher purpose in life apart from materialistic frame? 

Under the tree , without the phone, she feels away from all the stress of life.Connection to divine feels immense graceful and awesome :)

First Poem in Kumar VIshwas style

में  सोता जब हूं रातों मैं ,

बेचैनी सी खलती है ,

कभी अम्बर से जो बरसे,

उससे आँसू  ढकता हूँ ||

अधूरे प्रेम की बातें होती निराली है ,

कभी इस पार रोते है ,

कभी उस पार रोते है,

 प्रेम से पावन की महीमा को ये लोग क्या जाने ,

मजनु की बातो को तो बस लीला ही पहंचने,

 हर रूह में तुमको हमने समेटा है ,

पत्थर दिल को पिघला कर तुमसे प्यार किया है|

 इस मुलाकात को हमने तोह आखरी समजा था,

मगर किस्मत की झोली ने कुछ और ही लिखा था,

में  सोता जब हूं रातों मैं ,बेचैनी सी खलती है!!

Life at Jaaga

Jaaga is a place where like minded people come together and create something productive along with adopting healthy lifestyle and sustainable living.

Jaaga community runs a study domain under which there is Web development bootcamp which I am currently attending. The bootcamp will operate till Dec 16.

Check here to know more about the previous bootcamps.

Schedule and the way of life at Jaaga:

Yoga and Meditation is given utmost importance here at Jaaga as the community believes in the ideology that in order to work efficiently, our mind and body should be balanced and also in synchronization which can be best achieved through Yoga and pranayama , so first thing that we do in the morning is yoga and then everybody starts their assigned task, The study session is till 5 pm and then recreation activities time. According to the assigned tasks'  workload, people work in the night as well.

We live in an Organic Farm just outside Bangalore city, away from the chaos of the cosmopolitan city life and build innovative things using technology.

CoDiNg BOOT-CAMP LIFE:

Week  1(02/10/2017 to 08/10/2017)

The first week was just about knowing the fellow boot-campers and understanding the learning path for an individual and as well as the importance of working with everyone.

The best part of coming to far away place from your hometown is that you get know people from different culture and feel that within the country, such diversity exists and we do not realize it until we scout these types of experience.

The week started with most of the volunteering work and less of academic work as we had to setup our own study area and also the gaming area, slowly we got to know the boot campers. I would not write any incident here right now, I would just like to introduce my fellow mates here at the bootcamp.

Adarsh Lilha: The cool computer hardware and coding enthusiast guy, always fun to be around and as we match the equation in terms of ideology of cracking lame jokes in Hindi, hope to have some great memories in coming week.

Md Abu Zafar : The guy who chose to stick to his ambition of becoming a software developer even after the hurdles that came in his way. The way he described his situation shows that irrespective of the circumstances, one should not loose the hope and keep moving. He is called by the name : "Zafar Supari". I hope he owns the "mota market (:P)" after the end of the bootcamp.

Lavanya : A coding enthusiast and a great sketch artist, give us some fees for teaching you some hindi and my gyaan too (:P). I would write more about you at the end of the bootcamp.

Chetan : Science enthusiast with lot of curiosity in exploring the aerospace engineering, great design sense, you should go to some creative technical field man !!

Vipin Sahab : A happy go lucky kind of guy and very practical person , have an engineering mind and hope to learn pragmatic things better from him during the bootcamp.

At jaaga, everybody contributes to make the surrounding better and environment friendly, so all the people are assigned volunteering task every week where they help clean the farm and position some of the instruments of the farm.

In just 4 weeks, I learnt that when we are in our comfort zone, we do not recognize small things which makes a big difference in our life, we take things for granted and after coming here at Jaaga,  I feel we should stop becoming dependent on others for anything, we have  a tendency to be dependent about everything on others, even our happiness depends on others' opinions about us, stop thinking much about what others will say and start living a healthy, joyous , productive life.

I will update more about the life here at Hamsah Organic farm(Jaaga's workspace), till then, keep rocking and remain awesome :)

Love for Jyotish

India is known for its rich cultural diversity and its contribution in mythology and vedas, Its spiritual essence has touched the minds of many great people worldwide. The great rishis like Maharshi Parashara, Jaimini has contributed a lot in the great subject of research astrology called as Jyotish in Sanskrit.

According to K N Rao, the greatest vedic astrologer modern world has ever witnessed says that Jyotish can be used for 4 basic purpose : 1) Counselling, 2) Prediction ,3)Remedy, 4) Medical purpose

The modern day astrology has faced a lot of criticism because of the fact that people are exploited by the "astrologers". So we can say nowadays there are less jyotishacharya and more of upacharyas. The concept of astrology was introduced by rishis in order to understand the nature and connect with divine nature.  The modern day astrology can be used as a tool to understand the nature of maya(illusion).

I don't see astrology as a predictive method, I consider it as a source of research which acts as overlapping element in understanding human philosophy, psychology and spiritual progress.
