Back into Business

Back into Business

 

                                                                           It's almost a year now, since I came back into active business.  Did I come. No I was pulled in. Pulled in by my erstwhile employee who wanted to start a business and needed guidance. Or blame it on providence which pulled me back.

I have been busy touring for market surveys, prospecting vendors and finalizing deals. Went to Taiwan twice in the process.  Could use the business trips to feed my appetite for ancient history and archeology . Visited National palace museum in Taipei and Nature's museum in Taichung.

Taken up India Distributorship for a famous brand in steel furniture from Taiwan. Working constantly to build the brand in India.

Am I struck

Am I struck ? Or am I caught in a mud pool ?

For some weeks ( extending to months now) I am doing nothing.

Getting up ; having a shower ; break fast lunch tea and supper. Watching TV. checking emails. browsing the net. And to bed. Occasionally attending to unavoidable routines like paying bills, children's school fees, buying groceries etc.,

Is the conflict melting to become a non entity or morphing into a lazy bump.

I don't know.

But I know that the new phenomenon cant last.

But how soon will it give way ?

Tell me if you know.

Help the needy - Be human

Every one of us have an obligation.

Every day, to help some one who is in need.

If that person is an unknown one, better still.

You are what are you because of so many of our elder's contribution.

So many of country men contributed to our well being.

And so we have enough food, comfortable dwelling and a secure civil society.

Hence let's give back something to the society.

Just help one fellow human everyday.

Let's be proud of being a responsible citizen and a loving woman/man.

A questionable spiritual quest

I am born in India. Fairly well settled for indian standards.

Often I inquire into life, self, and beyond. I am convinced of non-dual vedanta but I am no where closer to its realization. Nor am I able to lead a life of detachment .

But why do I want to achieve realization of the self ?

Just because I am hunger-free and settled with basic comforts I am able to think beyond. What about my fellow brethern who are starving of hunger or struggling for personal safety in their countries?

If I were born in Ghana or Afghanistan, where thousands die in conflicts every year or if I were born in some poor tribal areas in my own country where even one square meal a day is denied to millions...Will i have the mind to think beyond the stomach ...leave alone the self

Science Vs Nature

Why not have a sort of ombudsman against all scientists. Should there not be a check on all inventions that conflicts with nature or natural way of living.

Nature and theory of evolution should be a primary study for every child before they are taught anything else.

Lot of ancient civilizations seem to have developed with a better alignment with nature.
