Balloon story

Long time ago, there was one moment which I want to share with you all. I joined Art of living under YES+ program guided and lead by Aditya ji I learnt many things from yes+. It made me better. Kriyas, aditya ji ke baathe, niharika dii ke yoga postures, many activities we all do together and learn something out of it is truly a blessing. 

I became a better person mentally after joining yes+.

One of the memories which I remember is this. It changed me. I loved that activity. Let me share this with you.

This was an activity. It was like a social experiment about earning money.

We were told to collect 400 out of 140 in our hands.

We started with different ideas but as we approached people to ask for some work many of them did not respond well. But everytime we were being rejected somewhere we thought that something best is going to happen.

I dont know how this idea came to Nikhil annaya's mind. We bought few chocolates and balloons😄😄....isn't it funny ?yes it was!! It was crazy indeed.

We blowed them and made a plan that we would sell it for 10 rupees each. We went to people who are having their small children with them and started asking them to buy them. We felt embarrassed at one point where they looked at us in a different way. But we moved on and sold all the balloons.

We don't know any of them, we met all the strangers but all these strangers helped us.

(We were given a task. We were seperated into team of 7 members. All should carry 20 rupees each and this way every team will have 140 rupees and within 1 and half hour we should come with 400 rupees. We should never approach to the people we know and should not call them was the condition)

At last our team had 263 rupees. Others got 3000+ rupees😄 . We dont know how they did and among all the teams our team had least score. Aditya sir and varshini mam told few things but I was not listening to them at one point of time because I was thinking, feeling bad  and comparing  about the money which we earned to others. I didn't feel good but later after coming to the hostel, I told to myself that if we did this it is because God wanted us to do it and whatever he does, it has some reason. Then I started thinking what we did. The movie of what we did was going on in my mind at one time something flashed..... what was that?...I rewinded and again started watching the movie suddenly I paused. Yess!!!I found it😄

It was the smile of children that I earned which is priceless and no one in this world can buy it. It was their smile when a balloon is dancing before them. It is the bright eyes of those small children and the happiness of their parents seeing their children happy is the thing I earned and 😂 money is "bebbbe" here....!!!I

f I would have thought of money and all I would not be able to see that bright innocent eyes of kids and their little heartful smile😍🥰wowwww !!!!!!!!!

This is what everytime my God tells me and I know he has a reason for everything.

I Thank God😇

I Thank Nikhil anna for the idea and team mates asha and sindhu &especially Varshini mam and Aditya ji.

Dare to laugh!

 You know why people go to grounds especially the old people just to laugh? It is because laughing is an exercise which makes our body and mind strong and energetic. You do not know your laugh would let others laugh. I have seen a video many days ago where a man in a train was laughing looking at his phone watching a comedy scene and the others who were seeing it were also laughing. Did he say all of them to laugh? He just did it right? It is said that we should not laugh loud. Especially when girls laugh immediately someone jumps in and says you are a girl don't laugh. I don't know where these alien people come from. Hahahah. But we should laugh. All our nervous system energizes when we laugh. Your laugh might also energize someone else too!! So why late...keep laughing as louder as you can.

Change

CHANGE Change is unexpected but leaves a great impression. If there is no change there would be no butterflies. Caterpillar looks ugly and most of us don't like it. But when this caterpillar itself becomes a Butterfly. It looks so beautiful and everyone starts admiring it. This is “Change". Change is Beautiful and admirable. Now if you are in any problem or facing most drastic condition; Trust me, it will change and this change will give you a better peaceful life. Just as a Beautiful Butterfly comes out of an ugly caterpillar. Your lives will also change from worse to best. When an old leaf falls, new leaf rise. Past mistakes ends and new thing starts. Growth is change. Remember, if something is changing in your life, it means you are growing. If we sow a seed in earth. It starts germinating and grows into a sapling, a plant and then a big tree. When it is sown it is in dark, in mud inside the earth and as it grows it travels from darkness to light. In the same way, if God ke...

Knowing self!

Many times we might feel very low. We loose our confidence sometimes. It is because we compare our life with someone else's life. Why do we do this? It is because we might not know much about our self than someone else. We try to think so much about others (in terms of comparing) and know more about them than thinking about our own self. Many of us are in familiar with our own capabilities. There are infinite things we can do. Our mind has that power then why don't we think of doing things out of our comfort zones. It might be very hard to start and keep going but if you do it everyday, you can easily make anything happen. One can be good at writing, one can be good at eating, others in dancing, singing or sleeping etc. It does not mean that you do not have anything. May be you are good at brushing your teeth, playing or just using a laptop. You might be good at operating your cell phone. Many others do not know this. If you do not find anything, this is the least case to consi...
