An Expedition through Nature

life is beautiful.. as nature gives it all..

Walking through the grass, chirping of the birds, the presence of all beings that nature offers us. This was the feeling i had visiting the zoo after a long time. As a feeling would pop up into our minds, that we are old enough to be visiting such places. But this is just a notion we hold in our minds, until we are present there.

Looking into the beauty of what nature offers us is turning into becoming a rare moment. The desire to fulfill their satisfaction to hunt and make these beautiful creatures become a prey for fun. In today's present situation we are seeing a decline in everything. The animals and birds are seemingly decreasing and some of them are almost extinct.

Being to this zoo in Chennai's Arignar Anna Zoological Park(Vandalur Zoo) made me realize of various beautiful species created by God. Their distinct features and characteristics captures every eye. All seem so pleasing and one is wonder struck. From Swan, deer, parakeets, snakes to the endangered lion-tailed Macaque, Indian Bison and white tiger. It has more than 170 species on mammals, reptiles etc.

With a new year coming up in our lives, lets all join our hands together in saving these endangered and beautiful species, that nature has presented us around with, to let them live their lives without a threat.

let earth serve them a peaceful habitat.

A "talk" in ur words

Got lot to say, but dont know how to express it? Well this a common situation most of us feel stuck into. I realized this as a thought flashed in my mind, as to how words form up as a main source when you communicate. Talking in an effective manner would inclide clarity, fluency and the way its put forth.

Reading the book"How to talk to anyone, anytime, anywhere" by "Larry King" answers to all queries on effective speaking. He proposed the various situations coming across his personal life and the various guests he met during his show.

Here are some of the key points i learnt by reading this book.

• Speaking with honesty wil always fetch the desired results. It will bring out the true meaning of what you wanted to express.


• The way we all love to speak and express our thoughts, we should also build in the habit to listen to what others have to tell us. In this way, we not only get to know what people want to say, but also encourage the ones who are shy to express their views freely.


• Talking does not mean we talk all together in a single statement. Developing the habit of speaking precisely and in a humane manner makes people respect your thoughts.


• There is an art involved in the way we talk to various people in the society. Talking to friends may be casual, but speaking to boss involves discipline and calls for being formal. Likewise speaking to celebrities, to people at various occasions involves suitable techniques and manner.


• When we talk, we should see to it that the communicated message reaches to the listener in the way we want them to understand. This can only be posible when we take out the "nothing words" like the ones people use more often in their sentences( "You know" and "Basically" are common ones)


• The most important feature according to me for a perfect talk would be Body Language. If your gestures, eye contact, facial expressions etc set right then you can be sure that you had the best conversation or best speech delivered.

We all talk to people for various reasons and purposes. Hence to be "Man/ Women of words" one should always enhance our vocabulary and our speaking style to match every situation. These "words" will bring up a healthy conversation for u all out there, forever!!

Volatile Violence

Every morning brings in new challenges and hopes- this is the thought we always have been brought up with, but the present scenario shows that we live in a world surrounded and filled with trauma in every state. Every morning our cup of tea/coffee is marked with news filled with death and killing.

There are innumerous people dying, in the worst conditions ever. There are kids kidnapped, people kept as hostage, terrorists attack, bombs etc that has made the world turn into a tragic and mysterious place. People are forced to death, leaving their responsibilities half dropped and their family in a state of helplessness.

The violence that we view around is not only the one which involves mass destruction, but it lives in each one of us in the form of "anger". This anger leads to building up of huge disaster within us. This anger kills us every moment of holding it within us.

Its true to say that, anger is a natural feeling which comes up in every human being, but the person who is able to command and control over this embroiled feeling, is the one who can lead life with happiness and in a more satisfied manner. A thought over this to change one's view on life-'Anger would only lead to situations which are filled with 'D'anger'.

Gift of HEART

The World marks this day to the most essential organ each one of us possess- 'The Heart'. Every moment of life relates to the fact of facing reality than being involved in raw thoughts. "Emotions of life and words of kindness, the heart holds all these richness".
Not many of us realise the value of this wonderful treasure residing within us. To remark this day lets rejoice with the beauty it carries and the significance of life it conveys. Letting thoughts to be withheld in self does not lead us anywhere. Share all that u feel with the ones u never wanna be away from. Express ur love, thoughts, emotions; this would not only make life meaningful but life worth living.
The word heart in itself carries so many meaningful words. 'Heat' of love, pearl drop of a precious 'tear', scintillating rhythms to 'hear' and the 'art' of life. Experiencing all these heartily and holding an inevitable strength within.
Make ur heart a home for the ones who need and love u. Care for others begin from taking care of oneself. Have a healthy heart and a hearty future. All these thoughts come 'Direct Dil se'.
