Are you made of Passion?

Do you think lack of sleep can kill your health? If you say yes, do not read on. This is not for you. I am talking about passion here, for which the main enemy is sleep and or laziness.

I am sure most of us would have read about our former president A.P.J.Abdul Kalam who sleeps a lot less than normal doctors would advise. Ever wondered to ask the doctors how he is surviving healthy? A simple answer could be his passion.

If you are a mother you know what is passion. Taking care of your child even if you are in deep-trouble, is just one way of identifying what a passion is. This is the easiest example I can think of now.

Why I chose to wrote about passion today? I came across a share in social media some days back. The image had a captivating caption. "Dreams Don't work unless you do." Such a simple yet powerful statement. No one is talking here about the normal everyday dreams. It is the special ones you aspire to become, or try to achieve. Dreams are always associated with such aspirations. Is it because most of us try to ignore our aspirations by each passing day. When we were young, we had enough time to think about what we can become. But every milestone in our life slows us down from achieving this.

It requires someone like A.P.J.Abdul Kalam to give us the strength to think that even aspirations/dreams are achievable. Our aspirations/dreams are like a boat which tend to fall apart in turbulent weather, whereas if we tend to be like a ship our aspirations/dreams have chances of surviving and even achieving.

Devote some time daily to yourself and nurturing your aspiration. Not thinking of your dreams everyday is one way of sure failure. But I believe in something different. If you have a passion, and after a hibernation period of at least one month does not harm your passion, you can definitely achieve what you dreamt of.

So what are you made of?

Thanking the original slide which aspired me to write this post, re-sharing it below with a disclaimer of not owning the copyright for this:

A common misconception about India

What we know now, has been passed on by our parents. It is always with proud that we think of our parents. They teach us, train us, support us in all ways they can.

Well having said that why do we not recognize our forefathers who are the starting of the chain we are in.

A weak travel

Week of travel, weaker me
Peek of faith, stronger me
Lack of hope, worried me
Nothing can be done, its all God's grace.

A journey unreserved

If you are living in India and if you travel a lot through Indian Railways you know what I am going to write. The Railways created by the British while they were here continues till today with bare necessary changes which you may call modernisation.

New routes have been added, new coaches (with same kind of design) has been added, computerisation of ticketing has been added, computerisation of train management has been added etc.

But has the user experience changed? Has the commuters changed? I can't think otherwise.

Opening mobi files in kindle app on android device

This is a FAQ which will help me a lot. I use the free Internet Archive to download books of my choice. I have an android device which is mostly offline as I don't have a wifi connection to boost up my device.

I was confused initially as to how to open .mobi files in android as if i tapped it will bring up a menu which clearly states that android is unable to understand the type of file.

After some googling, I was able to identify the procedure to do it.

This tip will work only if you have installed kindle app in your SD Card.

Step 1: Connect your android device to USB of your computer.
Step 2: Enable USB storage in the menu android brings up when you are connecting to your computer.
Step 3: In you SD Card navigate to a folder with kindle name on it.
Step 4: Just copy the .mobi files you want to read with kindle
Step 5: Eject SD Card and Turn off USB storage from android.

Now open kindle app in android and enjoy reading the files you have just downloaded.

Be it good or bad, I am also counting some numbers. And today being our second wedding anniversary date. Happy wedding anniversary, my wife.
