Banavasi trip details: Part II

Ok.. After all the travelling and hectice schedule, I moved my lazy bum and finally got to upload the picture of Banavasi Trip.  

Day started with a visit to Manjugunni temple dedicated to Bhagwan Venkataramana and devotees believe it to be Karnataka’s Tirupati. Due to renovation, some of the artifacts were stored in outside verandah which itseld make is a treasure.

After that we visited Yana and what can we say about it! See it yourself!

This was followed by a visit to Saharsalinga, which words can not explain. I will upload the pciture next time. Promise it is worth the wait J 

End of day was a visit to Madhukeshwara temple.

The picture above is also called a peeping Nandi. There is a temple dedicated to Narsinha in peaceful posture. Believe it or not!

Have you seen a pineapples like this before?

 Last part of this trip pictures will of Saharslinga. Please wait a bit more.... 

I, me, myself and Jason Bourne

Agreed! I am not been able to write regularly! With all the hectic schedules and travelling, it been a while to settle down. Recently while searching for some self reading material on the internet, came across a blog that invites people to write your own obituary. Take a look. Now what the heck is that?

It is a different way to of getting to know yourself and finding a direction from your thoughts but that’s about you. Trying to picture yourself in future, your legacy and what people may think of yourself are good pointers to help seek a direction but when you are in your own mood, in your own dimension, does it really help? I don’t know and don’t seek it either but will leave it to you to decide. After all, it is your search for yourself!

This brings me to another thought about a hugely popular novel by Robert Ludlum – Bourne Identity. This novel was also about one trying to find himself in this complex world of politics, treachery and complex web of emotion.  That book was supposedly an action packed thriller but when I read it, it helped me realized many concepts of life and truth about me. But as Salman Khan says in Ready,    Zindagi me teen kabhi underestimate nahin karna – I, me and myself! (Never underestimate three things in life – I, me and myself).  There are means and then there are means! Take what you like, what interests you and get on with it.

BTW I read the Bourne Identity in one sitting without break – so interesting, fast paced and action packed! If you haven’t read the book, suggest you do. You will not be disappointed. If you want a summary, click here

Emotion and Conception

Every time I watch this video, it gives a different perspective on listening. But a hidden message in this video is about how to overcome your challenges, how do we muster the strength and work religiously to realize our dreams. Incredible! Always!!

First time I watched this video in a training I attended and I repeated the same with my team some time later when I did my own research. Team was awestruck. Watch it!! 


Duration: 30+ minutes

If they were awestruck at the first video, they were equally speechless when I played the following video to the team, which is a TV commercial, while explaining them the benefits and pain for mentoring. What is the correlation? Is it that we are not comfortable with our own emotions or is it that we underestimate our limitations? Or maybe something else! Watch the second video yourself and ponder!!
