Holes'Holes' reminded me of an experience, an adventure.
It was a part-time, short-term assignment with a local pest controller in Indore (India). My job - to monitor service quality. How? - through site inspection.
So, this was a petrol pump, an old one, some where at the periphery of the city, surrounded by thick foliage, felt almost like in the middle of a Jungle.
On Sunday afternoon, hot sunny day, we reached the site and asked the guys to shut down the generator and vacate the place for a few hours. They had requested for 'Lizard Control' service.
I stood close to a massive, old style, weathered sign board just behind the large L-shaped office hall. The guys began spraying the chemical on the walls, first. Little was I informed, what would transpire next. Poor me!
An unprecedented phenomenon took place in front of my eyes; the moment chemical entered the sign board - MASS EXODUS. A congregation of lizards slithered out from the signboard and surged towards the two workers and me. We were caught off-guard, and before we thought of escaping, we were in the middle of a wedding reception.
Let me give a little hint on what happened next and then suspend the rest of the story here. I took off my t-shirt and.....began...
Holes is a recent recommendation. My post on - Lord of the Flies invited it.
Story Plot
Stanley Yelnats (the protagonist) is under a curse; running down through generations. He finds himself in a boys’ detainment center called Camp Green Lake, where these boys build character by spending all day, every day digging holes.
It doesn’t take long for him to realize there’s more than character advancement going on at Camp Green Lake. Is the warden looking for something buried under a dried-up lake? Stanley tries to dig up the truth.
Conclusion
One-of-a-kind book with unique characterizations. It keeps you enthralled with surprises, pages after pages. Don't be surprised if the flight of your imagination takes you right up to the dried lake and propels you to dig holes with those characters, at places I experienced it too.
Stanley is portrayed to be a quiet boy at the beginning of the book, but as the story progresses, his character becomes more meaningful.
The twists and turns in this book are fantastic and will keep you engaged. I liked the book, and in some ways, it has similarities to the Lord of the Flies. Overall, these characters are what keep the story flowing smoothly. Excellent Read!
Next Step - Movie!
Cheers!

In July 2013, a close friend requested to accompany her to a bookstore. ‘Can’t you buy online?’ I asked. Her reply intrigued me, ‘I won’t get those books online.’

I did not realize the meaning of those, till we drove to the bookstore. Entering the tall, three storey large structure, selling only second-hand books, I soaked in the ambiance - there were books till my eyes could see. My gaze went to the quote written on the wall at the entrance.

“We don’t select the books we read, they choose us.”

She stepped towards the Fiction section, and I walked to the self-help lobby.

Settling myself on the wooden chair, I skimmed through the titles on the rack. A thin purple colored book caught my attention. It was in a terrible condition, but the title on it's faded cover jumped at me - Mind Control Methods. Leafing through the pages, I realised, the book explained different types of meditation techniques and examples from real life.

An hour later, my friend came with eight books stacked one above the other in her Red basket. I picked up this thin book, and we drove back.

It took two days to complete the book, dense but an interesting read. I made notes of a particular meditation technique meant for deeper relaxation. To some, it provided relief in headaches. Here it is:

Meditation

Step 1 (5 minutes) Sit in a comfortable chair with feet flat on the floor. Let your hands lie loosely in your lap. Hold your head well balanced not slumped. Concentrate on your body parts one by one and try to relax them. Start with your left foot, then the right one and so on. Until you reach your face, the eyes and finally your scalp, you will be amazed to observe how tense your body was.

Step 2 (15 minutes)

Pick a spot above your eyes level on the wall opposite to you. Gaze at the spot until your eyelids begin to feel a little heavy. Close them and continue your gaze at the spot through closed eyelids. Focus on your breathing and start the countdown. Count backwards from 100 to 1 with a pause of two seconds between the numbers. Once you master the technique, practice it daily.

Give yourself 20 minutes a day, doesn’t matter where you are or what time it is, just get started. The relentless mind needs a break to take up the daily grind of life.

Note: As you read through the article, please understand that nothing in this article is explained to take the place of conventional medical advice, or any other kind of professional help. If you feel uncomfortable doing it, stick to the things that help you and enjoy yourself.

So, could you tell us about your hobbies and interests?

'Reading books,' I replied.

What kind of books do you read?

'I like a mix of fiction & self-help.'

That's cool, any liking - Author and Genre?

'Amitav Ghosh & Dale Carnegie, I believe that would describe the Genre too.'

A soft pat on the chair instantly rendered me to the present. She stood close to my cubicle, carrying her lunch box, 'Let's go and eat, I am hungry. What are you doing with that sheet of paper?' Show me!! I gave my resume to her.

'Are you going for an interview?' Her face couldn't conceal smile with a tinge of sarcasm in her tone. 'Not before the last supper with my boss.’ We laughed and strolled towards the canteen.

Later that day, I conducted a Leadership Session for a group of hand-picked high-pots. An encircled 'Reading Habit' on my resume was still flickering in my mind; it was reasonable I touched upon the subject. During the session, I asked two fundamental questions.

'Do you consider Reading an essential activity?

Almost all hands stretched in the air.

'Ok, that's good, so how many of you are into it and do it regularly?' Most of them became reticent this time.

This was not the first time I had seen a panorama of brilliant resources, donning blank faces. Here are some of the reasons cited for the gap between 'knowing' & 'doing.'

- No time

- No interest

- Don't know what to read

- It's Boring, no fun

In between someone flipped the question back to me. Is there a way we could bridge the gap?

Among, many instances, coincidences, and accidents, the top of the mind recall was an uncanny combination - Lunch & Statistics. I happen to sit next to a senior executive on the lunch table; he was skimming through the thick brown book, presumably on Statistics. I was fascinated and couldn't stop myself.

'Do you love numbers?' I asked. He looked up, smiled and expressed, 'Everyone has been given the Key to their Greatness, this is Mine.' During a short conversation, he shared three vital guiding principles to inculcate the habit.

- There is nothing called as Reading Time; it has to be a filler

- Pick up something that interests you

- It takes time to develop a taste, be relentless

The Maths is simple, if you have been reading about a Grasshopper for the last 10 Years, there is a high probability that you would be among the elite few, who would know more than anyone about the subject on this planet.

Happy Reading!

If I may ask - Do you have a split-personality?

Since, for most of us, this inquisition has a negative connotation, we may not appreciate answering it. But, if I insist you to give it a crack, many of you may blurt out a big NO. I don't intend to offend but if I may bring a particular context and ask the same question.

Do you have a split-personality, when it comes to Asking?

I am confident that by the time you finish reading this article, some (or many) of you may decide to change your response.

Here is a familiar scenario in office - You need a raise or a promotion - have you been up-front about it or you are hesitant, waiting for it to happen?

Let me flip it to a personal scenario. Let's say you like someone in your surrounding, would you go up to the person and ask for a friendship/time/coffee/drive etc.? Or would you wait and convince yourself - If it is destined, it will happen.

It is utterly reasonable, most of us would hesitate and hold on, shying away from Asking. But, observe when we are in a Synagogue (a place for worship). What happens there? Do we hesitate to ask? I don't think we do, we go all out Asking from a pin to a mountain. Why?

The point I am trying to make is - Why Asking muscles are not location agnostic. They flex more at a particular location, metamorphosing us into an entirely different being.

Though many factors control our behavior, I believe - disengagement from a single most powerful word, acts as a fulcrum. I call that three letter word, The Word of a Devil - "HOW." We don’t carry it with us when we practice Asking higher-up.

But when we practice Asking in the real world, "HOW" envelops the thought process efficiently, leading to a chain reaction of alternate imagination. It starts interfering with every thought the brain could ceaselessly churn. Our programming begins very early in life, and the limiting beliefs are deeply engraved. It is hard to unleash.

Is there a way forward!

It is not too late to start re-programming. We need to ditch HOW and disengage it from Asking, deliberately; it has benefits beyond Imagination. Conscious efforts followed by subconscious reminders is the key to it.

Here is a little Rx to start your journey - Don’t break the laws of nature governing the fulfillment of a wish - intent, intensity, and alignment.

Be a grand Asker, Good Luck!

....And yes, remember

“He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.” - Mark Twain

I would explore the subject in more detail, in my upcoming posts, stay tuned.

Creativity is a complex & subjective matter, and limited intellect barely qualifies to decipher even a spec of it. It is beyond the realms of semantics, and most of us possess pseudo-understanding of this divine blessing to the human race.

My standpoint in this article may seem unnatural; its intent is to drive and derive some sense among those who involuntarily (or deliberately) and repeatedly try to suppress their creative juices. They do not understand that containment is not natural; it does not exist on this planet. It is a result of two different self-made forces - Social Influence & Reference Spectrum; both are tenants, exhibiting different properties.

Social influence is too mundane to be examined further, and it is hard to be idealistic in this world. My focus is to bring a perspective on the second dimension - Reference spectrum. Less explored, it's mysterious nature barely attracts any attention, but it confronts us with a persuasive force all the time. In one of his books, celebrated author, Robin Sharma wrote - the place on earth with a maximum number of ideas is the graveyard.

Why?

Because we remain spellbound throughout life under the influence of Reference Spectrum. We gauge every piece of creativity on a self-made scale, unaware that it is an original and unique piece of work. Our surrogates are not standard; they are best in the league, thanks to the programming we inherit. Unappreciative, we meddle two mutually exclusive areas.

Examples are innumerable, here are some:

- We want to be a Singer, but we compare it with a celebrity's voice

- We want to be a writer, but we expect to match up to Stephen King or Lee Child

Let me ask you - As a parent, would you insult your kid? Would you imagine your child is not worthy of this planet and its people? Would you tell your child that he/she can't make it big in this world?

Would you?

NO!!

Then why we do that to the Creative Child in us. Why we forget that time defines the evolution of an artistic flair. Why are we so unfair to us, not ready to give time and chance to the creative child to metamorphose into an adult. Why we deny the basics - pampering, grooming, nurturing and hand-holding, every creative child deserves.

Because the reference spectrum takes over. We understand the laws of evolution, but we succumb to the force when it comes to our creativity. The child suffers and with trepidation it leaves us forever.

Is there a way forward?

Give a chance to your creative child, go for a date, practice mystery not mastery. Hand-hold the child, spend time and do not deprive the growth it deserves. The journey is going to be challenging but it will bring meaning and satisfaction to life.

Don't stop, sing, write, run, play, practice......

Which is your favorite subject?

Get...Set...Go!

And you have the answer, even before eyes could finish reading it, isn't it? It is not surprising; this is the way we are programmed.

But, give me a few more seconds, let me conclude the puzzle.

Which is your favorite Subject - One that you study every day without fail, and there is no cribbing or revising it countless times. There are no books we refer, no preparation of notes and no institutions required. We proclaim to be born experts in it.

Perplexed...? Let me give you the answer.

'People' - fascinating subjects of all, we love studying it. They are part of our conversation all the time, and consciously or unconsciously we speak a lot about them. It is hard to control our emotions and feelings, and we cherish every moment of the conversation. Neighbors, relatives, friends, colleagues, managers, bosses - You name them.

It is human nature, and there is no harm if we maintain a balanced and fact-based conversation. But, when we step on the line and venture into premises and assumptions, it began to pose a serious threat to our career and may also lead to severe guilt pangs.

Keeping aside the casual conversation or corridor chats, let me explain through an example that could resonate with you.

- During 1-0n-1 with a Manager, blaming a junior or a colleague for the mistake they did not do or taking credit for a well-received idea/report from another team member.

You may ask me, what is a big deal? There is no big deal unless someone figures out that you lied during the conversation and if it happens to be your Manager, then the big deal takes the shape of eroding integrity and trust.

Now the question is how could you bring a more balanced view about people during conversation. It is quite simple:

'Assume or imagine that person is next to you when you bring him/her in your conversation.'

You would observe, it will bring a balanced and fact-based approach without efforts. Practicing this simple yet powerful technique would result in a healthy relationship with peers in office.

It was an eye-opener when I came across this simple learning a few years back. I practice it all the time when I bring people in my conversation; it helps me focus on facts rather than assumptions. It saves me from being too critical of people.

'When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotions, creatures bristling with prejudices and motived by pride and vanity.' (Dale Carnegie)

How could you do this?

Why are you taking so much time?

Look, I know it is tough, but I am disappointed with the way you managed this project.

Have you heard these lines?

I am fairly convinced that if you are a corporate creature, these expressions will resonate with you perfectly. Moreover, if you have been chasing sales targets throughout your life, smart cerebrum would certainly add fancy adjectives too (You know what I mean).

Let me teleport you to a familiar situation. Monday afternoon, Boss is having a go at you, client escalations at the center of discussion and you at the receiving end. I know it is not a pleasant memory to recall, but in a minute, we will get to the purpose behind this ask.

'Do you remember what kind of thoughts crossed your mind at that very moment.'

Let me give you some choices:

- he/she has gone crazy

- why do I get this beating all the time

- it is not my fault

- idiot, hardly knows about the business, poking nose

I know, you could add much more to the list above.

How about positive thoughts? Do you recall any positive thoughts? Any?

It is a strange question; Being Assertive and Anger are antonyms for most of us.

Here is a thing, maybe we meditate every day for an hour or practice positive thinking all the time, but when we are at the receiving end, do we summon our brain to consciously disengage and swim against the flow of thoughts, at that very moment? Maybe not, and that is when the vicious cycle begins. A negative situation amplified by negative thoughts and the result, we know it.

The point I am trying to make - How do we manage reactions? Or do we really know how to manage?

We invest hours in softer training programs but what happens to our wisdom and judgment when we are in a desperate need of it. The problem is - most of our learning remains phenotypic; it hardly percolates down to our genes. Unless the alignment becomes Inside-Out, we will continue to reciprocate reactions with negativity.

Solution: Two-dimensional conditioning of thought process using “Empathy - Incantations" technique.

Am sure, these words are not alien to you. The moment we learn to understand reasons precedes reactions, there will be toned down activity inside us. Incantation could further leash our brain and send controlled stimuli, helping us manage the situation.

The world is full of reactive beings; we need to have a sound Reaction Management mechanism to deal with it else stomach churning, disgruntled mood and negative reciprocation will become a habit. So, next time when you are facing a difficult situation, in the office or at home, use this one line.

I am doing OK; things will be okay in a minute.

While we all do some level of self-talk every day - very few of us realize its profound impact on the programming of our subconscious mind - which in turns shape-up our present and future.

More in the sequel, stay tuned. Drop in your feedback below the post.

Monday, 5:30 PM, I was at Delhi Airport. My flight to Bangalore was scheduled to depart at night. I reached early to avoid heavy evening traffic and last minute hurry. I quickly completed check-in formalities and walked towards the food court with my blue colored Wildcraft backpack.

Though my travel is extremely limited each year, whenever I do, I follow a two-point program every time I find myself at the airport:

- Drink a large cup of strong Coffee to get high on caffeine

- Pick up an interesting Book for the journey

A lethal combination to lubricate mind in a buzzing environment.

I stood up in the queue at the coffee shop and waited for my turn. With nothing much to do besides imagining a cup of hot coffee, I scanned through the menu card and realized they have a new drink - Tea Latte! My inquisitive nature took a toll on my senses, desperately waiting for a high caffeine dose, and I placed an order.

The first sip of Tea Latte and my taste buds screamed - what Latte, It is just a Masala Tea! You deprived us of Caffeine today; you broke the ritual! I was guilty.

I walked towards the bookstore sipping tea from the cup and promised my hands that at least they would not be robbed of a good book, today. Just outside the bookstore, my gaze went to a quote on a sign board placed at the corner.

"All relationships go through Hell, real ones get through it."

It struck like a thunderbolt and spurred me to contemplate the depth of my own reciprocation to the most valuable and cherished relationships, weaved in and around my life. I stood there absorbing the magnitude of those words. It gave birth to a thought that later nagged me throughout my flight - If I were to assess my own performance on a relationship barometer, what would be my score out of 100?

I walked into the bookstore with an unfamiliar feeling and ambled around scanning the titles. Something strange happened, a young couple got into an unpleasant discussion over the timing of their flight, and their arguments were loud enough to be heard by many. I wondered if this relationship entered the hell a bit earlier than destined.

An hour later, I was in the lobby, skimming through, "How to Hug a Porcupine" - by Debbie Joffe Ellis. It did not surprise me that a book on relationship effortlessly slipped into my hands. I believed this is where the subconscious mind played its part sneaking in and guiding gray cells.

I finished chewing the book just before the boarding announcement. It summoned mixed feelings inside me; the relationship thing began to ride my thoughts firmly, while I reflected on a shaded aspect - How do we measure if we gave 100% to a relation? Is there a barometer or a scale to quantify it or it is a function of something else.

After the take-off, I switched on the reading lights and referred back to the book, glancing through the chapters that resonated well with my thoughts and pushed me to introspect on the broken relationships of my life. I opened the Jotter Pad and wrote the three lessons these chapters offered.

a. Abandon the Useless Ambition to be Right: No one is right all the time. In fact, most of us are not right much of the time. Insisting on our own perfection will lead us nowhere, staying humble would help in uplifting relationships.

b. Be Thick-Skinned - Don't react off-the-cuff. Instead go slow. Be a tortoise! Don't take everything personally; it is not meant for you always.

c. Listen - By listening, you are transformed from a potential adversary to an ally. By listening, you become someone to be trusted. By listening, you cease to be part of a problem and become, instead someone who has the information to offer a solution.

Unfortunately, nurturing relationships is never formally taught in schools and colleges, and we always learn it the hard way. The books around us could guide us paving the way for the right thoughts and assisting in introspection. But, the onus is on self.

During the two and half hour flight, I wrote a few sheets assessing my own performance and trying to figure out a barometer to quantify the health of some of my closest relationships. I am still not sure how far I have managed to decipher this puzzle, but I would continue my pursuit to learn and understand this complicated matter of bonds and connections.

New Year is round the corner, and with the last few days of 2016 slowly fading into oblivion, it would be hard to restrain the debates of resolutions under the blanket of the dura. In fact, this is the most favorable time, when the term "Resolution" begins to surface from the fallen, like a seed breaking its dormancy and stepping into germination journey through the surface of the Earth.

In these last few days, we often contemplate our highs and lows through the passing year and the promises, the coming year may contain. Resolution roots from these thoughts, and is a reflection of unfinished work or an unfulfilled wish.

Losing Weight, Saving Money, Traveling Abroad, Learning a new Language, Getting Married, Earning 6 Figure Salary, Reading Books, Writing, Dancing, Social Work, etc.

...and the list is limitless.

Picking one for self is a cake-walk, keeping it intact and relentless follow through to its logical closure is a laborious task. It needs an iron willpower and alignment to the laws of nature.

Alignment to the laws of nature?

For most of us, the childhood programming has been - Improve your willpower, and you can achieve what you want. I am mercilessly sure that no one ever taught or programmed us to (first) get aligned to the laws of nature before practicing Inside out stuff. In this article, I would bring a tangential perspective on how misalignment to the laws of nature contributes towards the abortion of resolutions before the culmination of its gestation period.

A small example to understand how the Laws of Nature operate:

For a few seconds, imagine a tall and lanky fellow standing on the cliff of a high rise. He jumps off and comes crashing down to the ground. Is he going to survive? Most probably not.

Let me replace the tall and lanky fellow with a hefty one, will it change the outcome? What about if we replace a person with an animal, let's say, Lion. What would happen? Would the lion survive?

The point I am trying to make is - The laws of nature are unbiased and impartial, they treat everyone equitably. They operate around us as an invisible force and misalignment to them contribute heavily towards the failure to keep Resolutions. Let us understand this through an example.

Every year, we want to be financially independent. Do we succeed? We know the answer quite well.

"Financial Independence" - a resolution close to (just above) our heart and so many of us dream about it. A great willpower alone may not be enough to drive sustainability unless we recognize the underlying laws and strive to get aligned to them.

Resolution: Financial Independence

Underlying Law: Practice Abundance Inside-Out

If our predominant thoughts are of scarcity, we are mighty misaligned. "I do not have enough," is the single most suicidal and unhealthy thought that travels 60,000 times every day in our mind, manifesting devastating scenarios for us. It creates a fundamental contradiction between the resolution of independence & alignment to nature. It gives power to counter-intentions which further erodes the chances of keeping the resolution. To summarize, nature hates contradictions and if our thoughts are severely against the intent of resolution or resolution itself; the result would not be very encouraging.

So how could we get ourselves aligned and Practice Abundance?

Two simple ways - THINK & DO

THINK - Our subconscious mind is powerful, but it does not understand the difference between what is right for us and what is not, it takes everything at its face value. So even if we bombard it with the fabricated thoughts of abundance, it would act on it. "I have enough" - chanting this thought itself could bring life changing manifestations.

It could break the age-old wiring and bring about new and positive programming within us. Moreover, for those who are skeptical about this, please look around and choose anything you may wish to. Let me know - What came first, the thought of it or the thing itself? Over a period, fabrication would metamorphose into original thoughts.

DO - There are so many ways to practice abundance, but my favorite is - Dinner at an extremely expensive restaurant, where riches flock. Save money for a month or two if you have to, for a single meal but DO IT. Absorb the atmosphere of riches, let your senses understand how it feels to be rich for an hour. These external stimuli are food for thoughts. Give your senses exposure to abundance as much as you can and as frequently as you could afford.

Create a never ending cycle of THINKING & DOING

Enjoy this cycle every day and express gratitude to the divine power. You would be surprised; the results would be astounding and beyond imagination. However, remember, TIME is of an essence, evolution takes time, and it is a function of discipline and intensity. Be relentless and cease to give up. Even a small shift in perspective can result in the changes beyond imagination.

Abundance is not something we acquire; it is something we tune into - Wayne Dyer

Bring your resolution and the laws of nature in perfect alignment, sit back and watch how life takes off.
