Being polite pays a dividents

“Being polite costs nothing But it always pays dividends”. Have you ever thought about how much nicer the world be if you are always polite to the people you meet?

Once I was travelled to new Delhi, got in a taxi from Airport, I had a urgent meeting to be attended, I said taxi driver in a hurry the hotel name just Taj, He tried to ask in Hindi like Taj palace or Taj vivanta and he kept asking which Taj. What we had was a simple misunderstanding that I should have been able to easily correct. However, I was needlessly rude. After two or three attempts to tell him the hotel name, and obviously not getting through, I was about to say , if he did not know the city to stop and let me get another taxi.

The taxi driver immediately became defensive and said something negative in return. I just kept without speaking for no reason. Both of us were angry each other, both could not enjoy the journey, he was still did not know which Taj, Took me to other Taj where my booking was not. I got too angry by that time, because I was getting late for the meeting. Finally taken out my reservation slip and gave it to him. He read the name and address and murmured himself something. Then he took me to the right hotel, He was no doubt upset, I realized if I would have given the slip, how nice it would have been. Being polite would have been enjoyed both of us that journey time

Today's maturity is different form yesterday's

Arivu ಅರಿವು … The Maturity at which we deal today is different from the maturity with which we dealt same on yesterday. I was discussing with a good friend of mine for his decision of postponing his marriage even after late 30’s. He questioned me, what makes difference if it is too late marriage? Suddenly did not have answer to justify. But I believe, the intimacy at innocence age has different experience and feeling than the intimacy after over maturity. Every day pass by, we add an experience. Every time we meet a person we add an experience and get matured. It is foolish to say, I am meeting today with the same maturity had yesterday. Every experience showered gives a maturity in your life. I always say in my beginning of the speech, the person walked inside this room is not the same person when you go back. It adds a new experience in his life and adds a new wisdom on to the person. And it is true the person gets next level of maturity when...

Yoga and meditation for trustful

The trust is derived from the dependability of another person; the dependability is derived from the reliability. The Reliability means consistently performing according to its set standards. Can we apply this for the human beings? Can we expect the consistence performance of any being? The performance of any person is based on the mind and emotions. Do the mind and emotion are reliable/predictable to themselves? We expect the person to be trustful. When the mind and emotions are not reliable to himself. How the person can be reliable to others? Then, can the person become trustful to the others is the big question…? No one can be defined as perfect trustful, but some people are obviously more reliable than others to you in those regards. Based on the individual priorities people define the trust and decide who can be more trust or less trust. There is no perfect trust person available. Try and control your mind and emotions as much as po...
