Inspiration- a sign of growth.

What is that one thing that shows that you are growing? How can you understand about your growth as a person?

Is it professional achievement?
My answer is a big "NO".
I cannot leave an answer without explaining why, for I am a staunch believer in "reason".
For growth as a personality it is quintessential to understand your situation......your rank on the growth scale, so that you can improve upon it.Then ,"professional achievements" seem to be a very satisfactory answer to this question, but when you examine them in the long run, that will be proved wrong.For many professionally successful people, life is still unsatisfying, uninspiring and some times frustrating too.One of the reasons for this is they never last long, because any great achievement will be great until somebody challenges it.If someone accomplishes something bigger than that of yours the game is over.You will no more be great .
So the answer is "SEEKING INSPIRATION".The hard fact in life is that, it is a mixture of "'roses and thorns". Initially you may win ,you may be happy but the very next experience can be a challenging one, a risky one, an unhappy one.It may be a big failure.Then if you fear, get depressed,it ends you.But if you seek inspiration in failure ,in a challenge, you will grow .After a long time when you look back you will notice yourself to be far from that person you were.It is the way of managing failures,and succeeding more that your success makes you grow, to become THE GREAT.
In other case if you never met with an unhappy situation and you always win, does that mean you are at your perfect level? No.It shows your inability to take up greater challenges.When you take up bigger challenges, you need inspiration to face it.When you get inspired you win.Again a bigger challenge ,a bigger inspiration, a bigger victory!!
So, measure your growth by the frequency with which you seek better inspiration.It makes your souls grow.

Gandhi, Non-cooperation and Bhagavat Geetha

Indian independence movement is one of the earliest peaceful movements against the British rule. It opened doors for Non-violent protests against oppressors across the world. Gandhiji is credited for this idea. Indian freedom struggle is mainly classified into three phases: Moderate phase - prayer, petition, protest. Extremist phase - violent revolt. Gandhian phase - Peaceful non-co-operation. What made Gandhian phase unique? The moderate leaders of freedom struggle, though mostly viewed as unsuccessful, were responsible for forming the counter arguments to " white man's burden" theory of the British. They prepared ground, propounded theories for intellectual understanding of the British exploitation of India. The extremists, mostly young leaders, believed in complete freedom, resorted to violent means to overthrow the British . However, there was no significant harm done to the British. It is at this juncture that Gandhian philosophy came handy. Ga...

A love story or a breakup story?

Some stories are so strange. Neither a common man nor can an expert judge those stories easily. This is one such story for me. Planned to be a plain one without twists and turns. But, most of the times, you plan something and life plans something else for you. The story A girl and a boy entered a relationship without exchanging roses or without saying I LOVE YOU. They chat occasionally and most of the time it was the bliss, of a young love they got. It was not the person but the sense of love that gave happiness to both of them. On those occasional chatting, all they do is make promises and see the voice and the presence of the other. That was enough, and that gave happiness. Days passed, and only days passed. The feeling of love and the desire to live together was getting strong in the girl. She is a girl of dreams and ambitions. Her ability to imagine things overshadowed her understanding of reality. She loved the boy truly, sincerely, not the real one but the one in her i...
