Pasayadan-पसायदान

आता विश्वात्मकें देवें । येणे वाग्यज्ञें तोषावें ।
तोषोनिं मज ज्ञावे । पसायदान हें ॥

1. May the Self of the universe be pleased with this sacrifice of words and bestow His grace on me.

जें खळांची व्यंकटी सांडो । तया सत्कर्मी- रती वाढो ।
भूतां परस्परे पडो । मैत्र जीवाचें ॥

2. May the sinners no longer commit evil deeds, May their desire to do good increase, and may all beings live in harmony with one another.

दुरितांचे तिमिर जावो । विश्व स्वधर्म सूर्यें पाहो ।
जो जे वांच्छिल तो तें लाहो । प्राणिजात ॥

3. May the darkness of sin disappear, may the world see the rising of the sun of righteousness, and
may the desires of all creatures be satisfied.

वर्षत सकळ मंगळी । ईश्वरनिष्ठांची मांदियाळी ।
अनवरत भूमंडळी । भेटतु भूतां ॥

4. May everyone keep the company of saints devoted to God, who will shower their blessings on them.

चलां कल्पतरूंचे आरव । चेतना चिंतामणींचें गाव ।
बोलते जे अर्णव । पीयूषाचे ॥

5. Saints are walking gardens filled with wish-fulfilling trees, and they are living villages of wish fulfilling gems. Their words are like oceans of nectar.

चंद्र्मे जे अलांछ्न । मार्तंड जे तापहीन ।
ते सर्वांही सदा सज्जन । सोयरे होतु ॥

6. They are moons without blemish and suns without heat. May these saints be the friends of all people.

किंबहुना सर्व सुखी । पूर्ण होऊनि तिन्हीं लोकी ।
भजिजो आदिपुरुखी । अखंडित ॥

7. May all beings in all the worlds be filled with joy, and may they worship God forever.

आणि ग्रंथोपजीविये । विशेषीं लोकीं इयें ।
दृष्टादृष्ट विजयें । होआवे जी ।

8. May all those for whom this book is their very life be blessed with success in this world and the next.

येथ म्हणे श्री विश्वेशराओ । हा होईल दान पसावो ।
येणें वरें ज्ञानदेवो । सुखिया जाला ॥

9. Then, Nivrittinath, the great Master of Dyaneshwar said that this blessing will be granted. This brought great joy to Dnyaneshwar.

Stress — Understand it First

Stress is a condition that affects not just adults, but children as well. As and when a child is exposed to the environment surrounding him and he starts to live situations around him, he is exposed to stress in different levels.
Home is the first social environment children are exposed to and the environment in a home directly affects the stress level in children. If the environment is relaxed and happy, a child feels less of stress. Instead, if the environment is tense and parents tend to fight over petty issues, the stress level in a small kid is bound to be high.

Talk to the kid the moment you feel that some amount stress is creeping in. usually kids open up when you cajole him to talk it out in a relaxed environment. For this, the child needs to feel relaxed and trust you that everything is going to be alright. Don’t force the child to speak up; instead share some bad experience of yours and tell him how you came over it by talking about it. If it is not possible at home, take the child out in a garden or a park and have fun. Then slowly bring up the topic. The child will respond when he feels light from inside. Childhood stress is not a very serious problem if you remain alert and be there for your child all the time. The help that you give him now will contribute in shaping up his personality.

Again Level of stress & reason for the same may be different for every individual. Especially for young generation. Sometimes Same situation may create stress unknowingly, and many times it is the only age when the person may be hesitant to discuss his/her nervousness.
What I feel here important is a Wall with slight Emotions which can just listen the boy or the girl. The Wall may be in the form of Parents, Brother, Sister, or a Good Friend… (Here I believe then why it can’t be a Teacher/Senior – where the students/juniors feel comfortable to share their views)

There may be lots of books, literature on Stress Management, but I feel the utmost important is neither the books, nor the consultant –but a strong place you may give the name of any relation to share all these issues & rest of the things just goes fine as he/she is the only person who can convince you – “AL iz Well”

Apart from that – a different outlook at Stress, found a presentation on Stress by RASGAS MEDICAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT
Understand
After watching it I felt if U r Stressed, don’t be tensed as it can improve your performance.

Me … MATLAB & MAE –

I remember the book of Khalil Jib-ran where he says ‘every human being has 7 faces, & all of us behave differently at different situations.’ Similar things pictured later in different movies — stating about ‘multiple personality (I won’t use the word Disorder) don’t know itz right or what, but believe in different Looks of mine @ different conditions…

It happened to be consecutive 5th workshop on MATLAB those days we had to carry out & this time at MAE Alandi; got rid of it those days. I ever like to discuss on signal processing, Z-Transform, my all time favorite — DFT’s & Image Processing stuff with MATLAB … (ya those 6 alphabets I was hating a lot some time ago)

But feel too odd to spare the initial felicitation for The Guest, which has to take place many times by the hands of Principal of the Institute & that to before the senior staff of the Institute from whom I learnt many things in my life. Those buke, flowers, momentos… Really feel ‘am I this much senior, matured, known in this domain to get felicitations. Will all this take me away from base line?’

It happened to be one of the same workshops where author was in the role of Resource Person… disciplined, cyclostyle role for any individual…& the end audience was S.E. students, M.A.E. this time.

After reaching there I realized, it was Traditional Day in the college. & all most all are in Ethnic wear.

Started out the sessions in the morning as ‘Real Guest Faculty….’ But all the way it was coming real Kaustubh Sakhare out there. If participants are in ethnic, me ka nahi? (Jaisa Gaon vaisa bhes)

A guest faculty should be…. What are the protocols … what is the trend….? I should do it or No…?

My brain stopped thinking & mind gave the decision — Thanks to Gajanan Bhau working over there at MAE for helping me to get New Dhoti & Kurta in Alandi.

With due permission of the organizers & students, post Lunch sessions of the workshop worked out with ‘Guruji’s Guest lecture on MATLAB & S&S.’

Special appreciation to the students for keeping up the enthu for the whole day in workshop while all their batch mates were enjoying ‘Trad. Day’ outside.

Humans are sold here -Ramsharan

still that time ‘Anna-Sambar’ was the most despised food for me in B’lr. I got the real taste first time on that afternoon for just 15 Rs.for a full plate ‘Anna (rice) & Sambar …unlimited’ The taste of the first sip which I never got in Kamath’s even after paying hundred bugs.

Ramsharan… all together a different character then became special personality in my Lyf.

We complain about the things we get or curse our destiny for the things we never get. People are there who start walking with their destiny without even thinking where it will lead them. Can they think all these issues? & if they think also can they Change?
One of them was Ram… before he learned the first alphabet in his life started ‘Laboring’. our desire leads us in life. Ram continued his schooling upto 7th std.I asked him Curiously..

Me: “Then why you left your school after 7th?”
Ram: kaise jata dost jab meri padhai ke liye meri chhoti bahan ko Majuri karni pad rahi ho?
Me: kitne din se kar raha hai ye sab?
Ram: jab din kya hota hai ye bhi nahi pata tha.
Neither the Books, nor Sanskar many times just Situation teaches everything.

The day continued with plastering the building. While carrying the cement, I was engaged in comparing what is the proportion of Cement, Retie, Bricks in the material & what I learnt, heard in Civil engg.
Still I remember – while returning from school I was cursing the slope on road which I had to take on my cycle. I was worried when it’ll go from my Life?
‘The slope’ on Hebbal road…? Will it go from Ram’s life?

When I give something to someone – I expect it to be remembered, just for a lift given on road I expect a thanks. I expect juniors to wish me when meet in road.
What Can I offer to Ram?

1st evening I thought I got a good lesson in my life. Now just to Listen songs on FM may be in Kannada… (B’cz still then I was not even in position to distinguish southern Lang ), a full plate of Rice & Rassam.. (yes now I wanted it to have) …may be a typical routine of a labor.

I thought of asking Ram what he does?

Me: Ram ab kya karega ghar ja ke.. ?

Ram: Sabji launga, bahan ke sath khana pakaunga.

Me: Uske bad.. Kuchh gane vane.. FM, TV hoga Na Kisi ke pass.

Ram: Ha rahta hai aksar kisi ke pass.mai to hafte ke 2 picture theater me hi dekhata hu.

Me: Kya pictures vo bhi theater me? Lekin Hindi to nahi lagte yaha jada. Samazati hai tuze inki bhasha?

Ram: Are bhai samajani to padegi akhir roti jo de rahi hai ye hame aaj. Aur hame kaha ise le ja ke apne gaon me bolani hai ! Lekin hamare to shauk hi aur hai. aayega mere sath kal?
kam pe 7.30 baje jana hai to subah 6 baje aana yahi Bhima’s pe.yahi hamare basti ke pas ground hai ek vaha Kabbadi khelate hai ham sab.aur barsat rahi to ‘phootbal’
Me: ‘Kabbaddi’ …. Nahi kaise bolu mai. Suna hai yaha ki Mitti pili hai.. kya isme bhi vahi mahak hai jo mere yaha kale mitti me hoti hai.

( Shayad dusara din pahle se jada thrilling tha jab subah pili mitti pe sab kale chehare (mny of them from South) kabbadi khelane vale the aur mere din ki suruvat hone vali thi ‘Har Har Mahadev … Jay Bhavani’ ki gunj se).

First 2 min. On the Kabaddi Court — faces probably from all the corners of Country just cheering ‘Har Har Mahadev’

They know Shivaji Mahraj.. Do we know Rani Chennamma? Have we heard of Raja Chhatrasal..? Do we ever utter the name of Maharana Pratap?

1000 Km from my place, now I realized where I came from? What I meant for other people coming there…

“Six Thinking Hats” ….by Edward de Bono

Recently read the book “Six Thinking Hats” an excellent tool suggested to make the Discussions on any topic Fruitful.

Usually, for a particular Problem or issue many people think from analytical, critical, logical perspectives, and rarely view the world from emotional, intuitive, creative, or even purposely negative viewpoints. As a result, their arguments do not make leaps of imagination, they underestimate resistance to change, or they fail to draw contingency plans.

Lateral thinking is reasoning that offers new ways of looking at problems coming at them from the side rather than from the front (Lateral Thinking… exactly I remembered when I learn various Transforms …Z, Fourier, in Signal Processing Why We need to transform the signal from one domain (ex. Time) to another domain (ex. Frequency) It’s nothing but changing the perspective of looking towards the signal, to reveal the hidden contents which may not be exposed within one domain)

One tool of lateral thinking, the Six Thinking Hats technique, was devised by de Bono to give groups a means to reflect together more effectively, one thing at a time.
The concept is innovative & interesting too. When any Problem is to be discussed by a group. On what points the discussion should start.

Six Hats, Six Colors –

The Six Thinking Hats technique involves the use of allegorical hats in discussions.
Participants put on hats in turn, possibly more than once but not necessarily all of them, to indicate directions (not descriptions) of thinking. The color of each is allied to a function:
White Hat

# Information available & needed
# What information is available?
# What information do we need?
# What information is missing?
# How are we going to get the missing information?
# Includes both sides of disputed information.

Yellow Hat

# Benefits & values
# What are the benefits? Give reasons why.
# What are the good things about this?
# What are the values?
# How will this help us?
# What is the sense of potential?
# Why can it be done?

Green Hat

# Alternatives & creative ideas
# We need to make a creative effort.
# What are the alternatives and possibilities?
# How do we overcome our Black Hat difficulties?
# Are there any other ways to do this?
# Generate as many ideas as possible.

Red Hat

# Feelings & hunches
# Use is limited to 30 seconds.
# Signals feelings, emotions & hunches.
# No justification is required.
# Gives validity to feelings and hunches
# An ingredient in decision making.

Blue Hat

# Managing the thinking process
# Sets the thinking Focus and the agenda.
# Sets the timing.
# Decides on the next step.
# Keeps the discipline when using the hats.
# Asks for summaries and conclusions.
# Asks for decisions.

Usually our personalities take us to one or more of these hats naturally; but here the 6 Hats method requires that each hat be worn cordially- more or less.For ex. A person may be more emotional about that issue or Problem & get excited about Red Hat. But, if all are in the process together, then he has to wear each Hat along with everyone else. It becomes easier if all are all playing the same game by the same rules.

And that’s what Six Thinking Hats does.

It provides a outline- protocol to follow. The traditional method of G.D. where everyone put his logic, which leads the G.D.to argument and many times Discussions driven by particular person- which can be replaced by lateral, collaborative thinking. Where the best idea wins- not just the best thinker.

An Untrusted Truth –’Trust’

Trust
The easiest thing in the world to loose and the Hardest thing
to get back & many times Impossible.

Don’t know what is the exact significance of Trust in MY own Life … but think that some times people just wait to prove U Wrong.U keep on trusting them & they keep on searching the chances to break it….

Anyways when anything happens we r nt the only & First in the world to face it .So ..
It will be like that only
