Survival Kit
To grow and flourish in life,one needs to align the physical,mental and spiritual planes in order to achieve synergy within the inner compass-COSMOS!!
Indulge in activities that bolster and boost up your confidence levels, release stress and place you in a state of euphoria, it could be anything that you like right from dancing to fencing. Also use stress/anger bursting techniques to free your mind and soul from negativity and toxins.Use natural techniques like yoga,meditation etc to rev up your cosmic energy.
All this will help you to relax and then you will be ready to new options,possibilities.
Set appointments, for change with yourself and splash around with fun-filled/creative activities and you will see the difference.You will come out rejuvenated,refreshed and ready to face the challenges of life, fully equipped.
Relish each moment rather than thinking about what's next.Also ensure you do things which are aligned with your inner-self. Always listen to your Soul's Pearls of Wisdom-INSTINCTS.
Do a lot of meditation,retrospection to understand the powers of your mind. Acknowledge your thought process and act accordingly, remember this will help to maintain the 'alignment'. Accept both success and failure with grace only then will you emerge as a winner in the final race.
Self-criticism is important but at the same time never ever forget to Self-motivate whenever you achieve a goal, this mechanism will pay you huge dividends, see here again i am talking about balancing the inner-compass.
So start living Success from within,from the inside out.
All set to conquer new horizons!!!

Web Standards - No Margin for Error
The economic benefits of standardization are tangible. Once we can quantify them, companies will begin to realize the true potential of the Web-Standards.
Do Web standards give organizations a return on investment?Do Web standards make financial sense? The answer to these million-dollar questions is YES.
Web standards force you to error check. Simply declaring which version of XML you’re using will let you validate your pages against the specified Schema. Validation turns HTML into something like a scripting language.
Web standards simplify maintenance, since design is separate from content, but logically linked through a CSS file. This clear-cut separation makes it much easier for you to develop and maintain your pages in tandem.
Shorter development cycles not only result in cost-savings, but free up resources sooner, thereby increasing opportunity.
Web Standards improve user experience by adopting clean, standardized code which gives users a shortcut to accomplishing their goals on the website and in turn this also results in increased turnover due to more people using your site.
Some closing words
If you adopt the web standards way, you go through a learning process where you should grant yourself the liberty and time to experiment, make mistakes, "Learn,Unlearn and Re-learn. And don't forget to enjoy this transition, from my own experience I can tell it is worth the effort and leaves no margin for error.

The Inner Soldier
This New Year Do You Have The Fortitude To Be Someone New?
I will tell you HOW!
Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them.
- Orison Swett Marden
Do you believe that fortitude is a quality reserved for soldiers? If you said yes then you need to re-read the famous quote given above. What is the similarity and difference between you and a soldier on the border? You both have many of the same fears. The only differentiating factor is that of fortitude.
Yes each one of us has a soldier within us. All we need to do is to get into action like a fervent soldier. A soldier fears nothing as he does not waste time in procrastinating rather he gets down to work – ‘Action all the way’ is his motto. If we follow the same principle in our lives then we can overcome all types of fears within us. We perceive the source of fear external and unknown to us, in reality it is all in the mind, within us. The only way to face these fears and map them into new enriching experiences is not to fall into the avoidance trap.
The methods you use to develop fortitude aren’t important. What's important is that you consciously do it. Just as a soldier on the front does. The ultimate measure of people is not where they stand in moments of stability, but where they stand in times of challenges.
Trust me the above points are not mere points if they are accompanied with appreciative enquiry and regular introspection. They will certainly given you a new vision and a new direction to lead life from within, inside out. You will control your fears; you will take charge of all your life battles. You will be your own Commander! Building up fortitude is not a one time activity rather is an ongoing one. Once you appreciate and accept this fact, you are definitely going to be on the right road where you will find far less resistance to change than before.
Friends, let me share a little ‘everyone knows’ secret with you. Don’t be afraid of your fears rather consider them as friends in disguise. Once you learn to keep your fears aside (not within) then they finally let you know who truly you are. Never forget your fears but ensure that they forget you. Once you let the others around you know who you really are, no one can thwart your efforts of rediscovering yourself altogether.

Fertilizer of Challenges
The truth is - life is indeed full of challenges. So why not face them instead of running away from them? The more we run away from them the more they get back to us.
Isn’t it better to find ways to get above them, under them or even better through them? The answer to this question depends on which category one belongs to – Achievers (As) or the Not-so-patient hard workers (Ns).
There are very few people who know how to work their way through the maze of challenges to attract all the good things in life, while the remaining just don’t make it. Its not that the remaining are not hard working but what they lack is perseverance and patience. They expect instant gratification. They expect that the moment they give out positive energy the very next moment they will receive a huge surge of positive energy in return.
Another difference between the achievers and the not-so-patient handworkers is that for achievers the results as well as the process matters where as the not-so-patient hard workers want to see tangible results. Due to this attitude they fail to realize and enjoy the intangible benefits of personal pride and a sense of achievement that are accrued during the process of overcoming the challenge, which are far more valuable than monetary returns.
The biggest difference between As and Ns is that of attitude. As invest their energy by accepting challenges as a means to learn and grow whereas Ns are wasting energy in either circumventing them or approaching challenges in a wrong manner.
One major aspect that can transform a not-so-patient hard worker to an achiever is ‘self-trust.’ Achievers truly believe that the seeds of opportunities lie within and they can be germinated with the fertilizer of challenges.

A small piece of poetry from my word weaving village
Rise and Shine
Through the boundless vertex of time & space,
do not let trifles disturb the tranquil mind in the race.
Every long lost dream will lead to noctilucent stars,
Rise and Shine; see how the cloudy sky clears.
There will be times when you call it quits,
it is in these times that push to the limits.
Splendor of Success & the Glory of Growth;
form the fabric of life; the ultimate truth.
Face sweltering summer; nipping blast of winter with vigor
dancing flowers, swaying trees are the spirit’s power.
Well constituted character is the base of moral worth;
is the true beacon of light which will guide forth.
Triumph over troubles; count the gains not losses
only then victorious tribulation embraces.
Jump onto the self-motivation bandwagon
and all the troubles in no time will be gone.
Drop apprehensions to keep going in the chase
replace cynicism with meaning, in grace.
Take a blissful dip in waters of eclectic bless;
and woes & sorrows will surely cease.

SMS Flood TV Channels - Pros and Cons of SMS-TV Marriage
Practically every TV channel today is encouraging viewers to SMS.Since SMS is immensely popular among mobile phone users, especially the youth.Cashing in on this popularity, media companies TV channels, in particular are spurning a host of polls,contests etc etc.
This aspect has 2 sides to it let me illustrate with examples
First lets check out the negative side, at times under the guise of a noble cause the channels make millions. The poor mobile owner sends an SMS believing that he is either being charged a paltry sum and that he is helping a noble cause, but the fact really is that he is making TV-SMS tie ups richer by emptying his own pockets.
The Positive side to it is providing an accessible easy online help point in times of distress. Chaos everywhere. Hundreds of people killed. TV Channels covering it LIVE.There is revenue sharing involved at the moment for all the channels and the Cell service providers but at the same time they are doing a great job of providing online help lines, makes things easier for the affected families, thereby reducing the running from pillar to post pandemonium.
Definitely SMS enabled TV marketing enhances viewer loyalty and audience levels and acts as a good feedback response mechanism for TV, but at the same time its upto each individual user to decide how much one really wants to spend(waste) money in one's on-line presence.
Happy Viewing and SMSing(hope you strike the right balance).

My Mind begins to wander…….
My award wining poem – received the Editor’s Award from the international Journal of Enchanting Verses (Paris), chosen from 2000+ entries from across the globe.
The press release link is:-
http://www.prlog.org/10101802-the-enchanting-verses-international-brings-out-its-third-issue.html
As nature beckons me with enchanting gestures,
my mind begins to wander into greener pastures
As I tour through reflective processes of my mind,
I get teleported to a different realm, one of its kind.
Seeing through the misty glass of my mind,
I experience myriad of feelings gushing by
which get translated into the daily grind,
but at the end of it all, my mind heaves a sigh of joy.
As my soul drifts into many horizons anew,
my mind begins to wander in quest of energy renew-
as dreams and possibilities satiate my head,
I get inspired to get way ahead and set lead.
Once again I return to life filled with action,
and paint a landscape of filled with imagination of great times-
singing joyfully I dance all the way with gumption;
this is the symphony of each soul that rhymes.
As the windows of my soul are suddenly thrown open,
my mind begins to wander entwined with melody soften-
these euphonic sounds in my memories will stay
with me forever to the end of each day.
Alas my subconscious reveals the divine master plan-
I set foot in the world of the ‘inner self’,
stay connected to the Divine Being for entire life span,
to continually preserve and evolve my Essential self.
