TRUTH !!

Truth can have a variety of meanings, such as the state of being in accord with a particular fact or reality, or being in accord with the body of real things, real events or actualities. It can also mean having fidelity to an original or to a standard or ideal. In a common archaic usage it also meant constancy or sincerity in action or character. The direct opposite of truth is "falsehood", which can correspondingly take logical, factual or ethical meanings.

However, language and words are essentially "tools" by which humans convey information to one another. As such, "truth" must have a beneficial use in order to be retained within language. Since truths are used in planning and prediction (such as scientific truths being used in engineering), the more reliable and trustworthy an idea is, the more useful and potent it becomes for planning and prediction. Those ideas which can be used anywhere and anytime with maximum reliability are generally considered the most powerful and potent truths. Defining this potency and applicability can be looked upon as "criteria", and the method used to recognize a "truth" is termed a criteria of truth. Since there is no single accepted criteria, they can all be considered "theories".

Chocolate addiction !!!

Definitions of chocolate addiction and its potential relationship to dieting and problem eating were investigated in 50 individuals who identified themselves as "chocoholics". Respondents were interviewed and completed a battery of questionnaires on food cravings, eating, weight, dieting and depression. On average this sample consumed about 12 (60-g) bars of chocolate per week and craved chocolate about six times per week. Cravings and amount consumed were not significantly related but amount consumed was significantly correlated with disinhibition (r = 0.3). Most (76%) respondents had definitions of chocolate addiction that centred on a lack of control around chocolate and regarded the "addictive" factor in chocolate as orosensory (i.e. taste, smell, texture). Unlike most others, dieters and secret eaters experienced negative affect following consumption of chocolate. Consumers who preferred to eat in secret reported a higher degree of aberrant eating. The extent to which the behaviour of "chocolate addicts" resembles that of eating disordered individuals and other addictions remains to be clarified.

Glamorous life !

"The Glamorous Life" was originally intended to be recorded by the short-lived replacement act for Vanity 6, girl group Apollonia 6. Prince allegedly had several tracks lined up for the trio to record for their 1984 debut album (and by some accounts, their follow up album as well), but abandoned the idea when he learned that lead singer Apollonia Kotero had no desire to stay in the group beyond her contractual obligations as designed for her movie role in Purple Rain.

Prince decided to give the song to Sheila E. who was fresh off her duet on Prince's "Erotic City". "The Glamorous Life" would be recorded by Sheila E. and go on to launch her solo career.

"The Glamorous Life" was the title track and closing song on Sheila E.'s debut solo album, and reached number 7 on the U.S. pop charts, as well as number 1 on the U.S. dance charts, and earned a Grammy Award nomination.

Sheila E.'s live performances of the song became memorable events, most notably for her percussion solo towards the end of the song. Depending on the occasion, she would either spin around several times while drumming without missing a beat during the rigorous solo, place one highly elevated foot on a snare while standing on the other leg mid-solo, or perform with glow-in-the-dark drumsticks. While the solo featured in the song helped to bolster Sheila E.'s fame, all subsequent versions of this song have no drum solo.

while introspecting myself I realized that introspection is a never ending process. Introspection is really necessary sometimes in life,Sometime when u don't know which path or which way to choose(Introspection helps you). Introspection sometime can mislead u and even sometimes can boost your morale to an high level( higher and mighty than Mt. Everest may be). I don't know whether i have introspected myself rightly or this introspection has mis leaded me. All i know at this point of time is that "Life is no more a fairy tale for me and it has shown its true colors". I am in despair and there is no hope left i feel there is no escape this time. Its a clear one on one fight with life. I know there is no escape, I will have to face it, Accept it & Win it.

While Introspecting myself i have also realized that i have transformed not completely. But yes, I have transformed into a good Human being. On this quest to start a new life i know only one thing that anyhow I will have to survive and fight the challenges.

Introspection

Yesterday, After writing the blog "An unfortunate tryst with destiny" i felt a bit relieved. I don't know why but may be because i had many things inside me which i wanted to tell but i did not. The second blog i named it "Introspection" i heard this word yesterday and i was so moved by this word. the literal meaning of this word is "Contemplation of one's own thoughts, feelings, and sensations; self-examination."

When i self-Examined myself there were several things( Good and bad) i found about me. I found where do i stand, i found how strong am I internally though i am physically very weak, Am I insecure about the future or am i too dumb to think about it, Am i walking the right road , do i have a right company ,How should i behave now (maturely or should behave like a 22 years old spoiled boy) , My attitude towards people should be changed now?

There were several other questions which arose in my mind. And my inner sense could answer all the questions except one question one question which i was not able to answer " why am i Faking myself ?" why i can not be like before like a mirror i reflected everything i saw very clearly, Why do i have to think now before speaking to everyone around me? I could not find answers to this question.

While Introspecting myself I also discovered how much my Dad''s death has transformed me. Now I have started to see things in a broad manner in a larger way in a way an adult should see. And one other thing I discovered me was that i was among those people who took there decisions by listening to their Instincts. I never heard what my brain said i always followed my instincts.

Though there were several questions which were unanswered but still i got to find something about me which i never knew before. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .To be continued

an unfortunate tryst with destiny

Its 3:51 A.M , I just returned from my college and i am feeling exhausted. well as far as writing this blog is concerned i have been thinking about it since last one year but fortunately i started with it tonight. Summers of 2010 in my opinion taught me a lot, I have lost an old Friend who was there with me since past 22 years. o6-04-2010 was the worst day of my life at 10:47 a.m Doctors declared him to be dead. I never show and may be through out my life i will never show for some reasons.But the truth is "I miss him" and i know there is no replacement. Though I have lied a thousand times in my life and have never felt guilty of doing so. But one lie , Which i told my mother to be specific i must say a white lie. I looked right into her eyes and told her that"MAA don't worry dad will b fine" and i was already told by doctors that he would not survive more than 24 hours.This lie made me hate myself. I tried everything.Visited all mosques,Temples & gurdwaras but god did not listen to me this time. I did everything to save him but unfortunately could not and would always regret because i believe may be my efforts were not sufficient or i lacked in something or may be the almighty thinks , I don't deserve a Father. First Few days i Could not believe he has gone forever. Every time my phone rang i thought it was my dad who is calling.Pinched a hundred times on my skin praying god to prove this phase of my life to be a nightmare. But i guess God is annoyed , I don't know what bad have i done.With every micro second that passes by makes me miss him more and more. Maa is a strong lady or may be she tries and hides her pain so that i control my emotions but as far as i know her i know she has completely broken from inside and she does not reveal because she knows everything. I am crying while writing this blog and I i guess i would be the first guy on earth who is crying while writing his first blog.

today its been around a months time and to b honest sometimes i still expect his calls in the evening( mostly he used to call me in the evening time). Everyone loves their Dad and everyone believes his/her dad to be a superhero, A Cowboy , Magician and God. So did I like a small child, I believed in all those things until 06-04-2010.But soon after this date i realized he was very normal & very average like any other human being on earth, who could not resist a head injury and died battling with death . I was out of my illusions and i stepped into a brand new real (harsh and shabby) life. Where i had to start my life from level O.

Sometimes i don't know why but i think "Have i been a good son?" there can be two possible answers to this question............

Ans.1. Yes, Dinesh Sharma You have been a good son.

&

Ans.2. No, I have not

I am not sure about the answer, but i console myself by telling myself to be responsible and take care of maa and give her all the possible luxuries she deserves.

I also keep telling myself that this is a phase of life and one should enjoy each and every phase of his life rather than crying, though I don't know how can one enjoy when he is in this state. I am getting late as i had to go to drop my cousin sister (Ekta) at New Delhi Railway Station as she is going to alwar & than i have my practical at 9:00 A.m and its already 5:02 A.m. I will have a hectic and tight schedule today.
