What The Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast...(Good Reading)

Mornings are a mad-cap time in many households. Everyone’s so focused on getting out the door that you can easily lose track of just how much time is passing. I’ve had hundreds of people keep time logs for me over the past few years (you can see some of mine here and there), and I’m always amazed to see gaps of 90 minutes or more between when people wake up and when they start the commute or school car pool.

That would be fine if the time was used intentionally, but often it isn’t.

The most productive people, however, realize that 90 minutes, 120 minutes or more is a long time to lose track of on a busy weekday. If you feel like you don’t have time for personal priorities later in the day, why not try using your mornings? Streamline breakfast, personal care and kid routines. Then you can use 30-60 minutes to try one of four things:

1. Play, read, or talk with your kids. Mornings can be great quality time, especially if you have little kids who go to bed soon after you get home at night, but wake up at the crack of dawn. Set an alarm on your watch, put away the iPhone, and spend a relaxed half an hour reading stories or doing art projects. If you have older children, aim for a leisurely family breakfast. Everyone talks through their plans for the day and what’s going on in their lives. If family dinners aren’t a regular thing in your house, this is a great substitute.

2. Exercise. You shower in the morning anyway, so why not get sweaty first? Trade off mornings with your partner on who goes out and runs and who stays home with the kids. Or, if your kids are older (or you don’t have any) work out together and make it a very healthy morning date.

3. Indulge your creative side. Lots of people would like to resurrect a creative hobby like painting, photography, scrapbooking, writing, even practicing an instrument. What if you went to bed a little earlier three times a week? Skip that last TV show or those last emails and get up a little earlier the next morning to put in some time at your easel before the day gets away from you.

4. Think. Strategic thinking time is incredibly important for seizing control of our lives. Spend 30 minutes in the morning pondering what you want to do with your time. You could also use this time to pray or read religious literature, to meditate or write in a journal. All of these will help you start the day in a much better place than if everyone’s running around like chickens with their heads cut off.

Note: Are you looking for a better start to your day, or to use your time more effectively in general? I’d like to do a few time makeovers of readers over the next few weeks. Email me if you’d be interested in logging your time, trying a few strategies, and sharing what you learn. Thanks!

वाकई .. बहत खूब लिखा है

आज बड़े दिनों के बाद कुछ अच्छा पढने को मिला है जो दिल को छु गया है... दोस्तों क्या कहूँ ऐसा कुछ पढता हूँ तो मन खुस हो जाता है ... दोपहर मैं ऐसे ही किसी सज्जन का ब्लॉग पढ़ रहा था के एक दो पंक्तियाँ मेरे दिमाग के खिड़की से गुज़र के दिल को छु गई...ज़रा सुनिए क्या लिखा था 

" क्यों हिलाते हो कब्र आम आदमी का तुम

अभी भी वो दो वक़्त की रोटी की जुगाड़ मैं है "

वाकई ..किस गहराई से लिखा है लिखने वाले ने...

बहत खूब

चवन्नी नहीं चलेगी

आज मैंने अखबार में एक खबर पढ़ी के ३० जून के बाद चवन्नी नहीं चलेगी... अचानक यादों का एक पन्ना मेरे खयालो की खिड़की से झाँक कर मेरे चेहरे पे एक हसी बन के छा गई. उड़ीसा प्रान्त का मैं रहने  वाला हूँ और मेरे यहाँ शिव मंदिरों  मैं हम राउल लोग ही पूजा करते हैं. सदियों से हमारी बारियाँ आपस मैं बिभाजित की गयी हैं और जब भी हमारी बारी आती थी तो हम बच्चे भी उत्साहित हो जाते थे. और ये भक्ति भाव से नहीं होता था पर इसलिए होता था के हमें दक्षिणा के स्वरुप पैसे मिलेंगे. और हमारे नानाजी जो छुट्टे मिलते थे उसे हम बच्चो मैं बाँट दिया करते थे और तभी एक चवन्नी की महत्वा बहत ज्यादा हुआ करता था. जिसके पास जितने छावनी हुआ करता था वो उतना खुश हुआ करता था. क्या बात थी उन दिनों की... दिन ब दिन हम बड़े हुए और पैसे की कीमत को ज्यादा अच्छी तरह से समझने लगे और आज कल अच्छा खासा कमा भी  लेते हैं मगर उन चवन्नियों की कीमत आज भी अमूल्य है. 

मुझे याद गौ की कुछ साल पहले ( करीब ६/७ साल) मैंने चवन्नी देखि थी मगर वो आज  तक चलती थी मुझे नहीं पता था. हाँ ये हो सकता है की छोटे सेहर और गाँव में चलती हो मगर महानगरों से तो इसका बिसर्जन बहत पहले हो गया था. वैसे भी आज कल मेहेंगाई जिस उंचाई पर पहंच गयी है मुझे शक है की चवन्नी की कीमत क्या होगी... खैर हनुमान जी की पूँछ की तरह दिन ब दिन बढती हुई महंगाई ने हमारा तो जीना बेहाल कर दिया है पर चवन्नी बच गई ....

भगवन चवन्नी को शांति प्रदान करें ...

Amma's back in power in Tamil Nadu...

The day before yesterday Amma ( j jayalalitha) along with 33 ministers from her party (AIADMK) took charge of the government. Where She was sworn in as new Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu her list of 33 minsters too took oath to seat different ministries. with stupendous performance in the recently held Tamil Nadu state assembly elections. with a clear majority and verdict to rule the state Jaya stormed into power for the third term. in a marvellous ceremony in the Madras university she took oath along with her ministry of 33 ministers. where she kept police and home ministry with her, this is the most numbered ministers in the state of Tamil Nadu.

Before the ceremony could take place the controversy on the newly built state assembly( worth 1200 crore) was abandoned by Jayalalitha and declared that the old st. fort will be her next office & office to her ministry too. Earlier the DMK without seeking remarks from other parties had built a state of art secretariat spending huge 1200 crore rupees of the tax payers. Jaya had opposed the building then and had said that she wont step in the building as the shape and the purpose of the building said not interests her. hence before the event the old secretariat was given a wash & a fresh coat of oil paint and made ready for the j-day.

in the second move she made a good reshuffle in the top cop level & appointed people of her rust and calibre. She appointed JK Tripathy as the cit police commissoner ( Tripathy is a PM awarded for his innovative Practice whilehe was posted in Trichy). Secondly the new chief Secretary Debendranatha Sarangi ( Replacing S. Malathi).

The thing to notice was the presence of Gujrat Chief Minister Narendra Modi & ex Cm of andhra Pradesh Chandrababu Naidu. After the sworn in ceremony Jaya said her govt's present motto is to give a corruption free governance and people will witness Tamil Nadu the number one state in the country.

The parties that made an allince with DMK in the Elections the ADMK headed by actor turned politician Vijaykanth kept his party out of power and declared support from outside. It created a spur in the AIADMK camp whether to invite ADMK to power or not but Jaya did not ask ADMK to be a part in power but instead managed to get his support from outside.

The very Next day she kept her election promised and signed the relevant documents to announce few lucrative offers for the general people.

• Free 35 kilo rice to the BPL families
• Free 20 kilo rice to the ration card holders
• Rs 25000 & 4 gram gold for marriage assistance to the poor girls.
• Rs 50000 & 4 gram gold for marriage assistance to the poor girls with Diploma/graduation.
• Free laptops to class 11 students
• few others are there

when the general people are happy for the offerings there are quite a speculations on her next move.

The Red machine added...

Finally on 9th of my 2011 i brought home My new Honda Activa Advanced. It was a day with full of enthusiasm and happiness to ride the new vehicle. She too seemed amused and fought with me to drive it on our way back to home. The smooth ride took about 40 minutes from T Nagar to Chromepet. It will be a great support in terms to save the unnecessary auto expanses and many travell expanses and in the meantime will obviously may increase the cost as its surely ging to promt us to roam around more. But it would be a great help for her to diminish the travell time,cost & the physical stress.Monday evening we did pooja in the TIrupati Temple & the Ganesha temple in Chromepet to start the journey. Situ too too a ride on it and felt the comfort. May the rides smooth ever without any casualities or injuries to anybody...

ओसामा की लग गई

हाँ दोस्तों दुनिया का सबसे बड़ा आतंकवादी ओसामा bin लादेन को सोमवार को अमरीकी सुरक्ष्य बालो की एक टुकड़ी ने मर गिराया। कहा जाता है की इस्लामाबाद से ५० किलोमीटर की दूरी पर स्थित अबूताबादजो की पाकिस्तान का एक सैन्यस्तल भी है वहां सोमवार देर रात ओसामा को मर गिराया गया। एकालिशन माकन जो की पाकिस्तानी सैन्य स्तल के देरे मे अत है वहां ओसामा दो बीवी और ४ बचूं के साथ रहता था और गुप्त सूत्रों की हवाले से जब ये जानकारी ओबामा प्रशासन को मिली तो तुरंत कारवाही करते हुए स्वतंत्र सेना बल की एक टुकड़ी ( करीब ४० ) दो हेलीकाप्टर से उस बंगलो के पास उतारे गए और ४ घंटे चली इस ऑपरेशन में ओसामा के साथ ४ लोगों की मौत हो गई और कई घायल हो गए। वारदात के समय वहां पे मूल ११ लोग मौजूद थे और ऑपरेशन के तुरंत बाद अमरीकी सेना ने ४ लोग जिनको की जिंदा पकड़ लिए गए थे उन्हें लेके रवाना हो गए।

देर रात अमेरिका की राष्ट्रपति बराक ओबामा ने राष्ट्र को संबोधित करते हुए कहा के ओसामा मारा जा चूका है और येये एतिहासिक घोषणा इस तराह हुआ के "justice has been done" इसीके साथ ही सितम्बर २००१ को हुई हमले मे मारे गए ३००० मासूम लोगों के साथ न्याय हुआ है।

खबरों के मुताबिक ओसामा को दो गोलियां लगी और उसके मरने पर अमरीकी सेना ने उसकी डीएनए जाँच भी की और जब ये तय हुआ की यही ओसामा है तो उसे वहीँ समंदर मे दफ़न भी कर दिया गया। उसके दो बीवी मे से एक की हाल पर ही मौत हो गई जबकि दूसरी जिसके पैरों मे गोली लगी है वो पाकिस्तान के कब्ज़े मे चिकित्शाधीन है। अम्रिणी सचिब के बयान से हवाले से ये पता चला है की पाकिस्तानी सरकार और सेना को इसकी बिलकुल भी भनक नहीं लगने दिया गया था और ये पूरी तरह अमरीकी ऑपरेशन था।

अब जब ओसामा की आत्मा ही रेह गई है अब भी कई सवाल है जो की कुछ रहस्यों की त्ररफ इशारा कर रहे हैं जैसे की ओसामा सच में मारा जा चूका है ( कोई फोटो जरी नहीं किया गया है) और उसे समंदर मे क्यूँ दफनाया गया और जो लोग जिंदा पकडे गए थे वो कौन थे ? पाकिस्तान भी अब कटघरे मे खाडा दिख रहा है क्यूँ की ओसामा आर्मी छावनी वाले कैसे रेह रहा था और इसकी खबर पाकिस्तानी सरकार को थी तो क्यूँ नहीं अमेरिका को बताया गया ... अब जबकि अमेरिका के लोग खुसी मना रहे है कुछ रूढ़िवादी और आतंकवादी पाकिस्तान और अफगानिस्तान मे शोक भी मना रहे हैं। खैर जैसी करनी वैसी भरनी अब अमेरिका के राष्ट्रपति बराक ओबामा भी शायद अपना दूसरा कार्यकाल भी पूरा कर लेंगे ( चुनाब जो अरे रहा है )। पर क्या अमेरिका अब अपनी पाकितानी नीतियों मे बदलाव लायेगा , क्या bharat को संयुक्त राष्ट्रों की स्थाई सुरकश्या परिषद् मे स्थाई सीट के लिए समर्थन देगा ? सवाल अनेक है जवाब कौन देगा ?

Arunachal CM Doraji Khandu is dead ...

Another chopper clash and Arunachal CM Doraji Khandu is dead...

After 4 days rigorous search in the remote areas of Arunachal , Bhutan Boarder, China Boarder the remains of the chopper carrying Dorji Khandu & 4 others were found & bodies recovered.

History has many such stories like Sanjay Gandhi, Subhas bose, Madhav rao Scindhia. Taking count of the corruption and the attitude towards the general public I know we dot have much love for this politicians in our country but the point here to take a note that the "Pawan hans" Choppers which need up gradation. If a plane has crashed then we have reasons like the weather & the maintenance but Pawan Hans has technology as reason to blame. These were the initial weapons to carry out visit to remote locations where there is no aerodrome and facilities like that long back. They were used when there is any private or short distance visit is required by these handy politicians. Records say that there are around 400 odd choppers are in working condition these days and the technology is too old. As compared to all modern helicopters like the Bell, Sea king, jal hans, the technology needs much change. And I don't know why the pawan hans is provided to people in hilly areas like the north-east where the satellite too has a tough reach.
