A Letter-Part-II

............Besides trust, what affects us much these days is our over-emphatic-attitude regarding others, their behavioral responses and our own reactions. We come to a conclusion quickly without going into the heart of the matter because we have least time for a true review of each and every thing that we face each time. For such problems which arise indefinitely in our day to day life, one big solution exists. This relates to our perception of each encounter with such things. If we do not decide, if we take things lightly and more so if our conclusion over anything becomes non-judgmental then our own mental  pressures will defuse. Who am I to label someone else, right or wrong? Why not so be left apart? Something of this sort actually unloads many riddles of the human mind. Wisdom refers such a phenomenon to be the non-judgmental justice which helps human mind to be impersonal, devoid of negative emotions. This is  a maturation of our own spirit. This is also the creation of a higher order of logic and understanding. With feelings we attend to that order.
Acknowledgement of your feelings is another necessity to take a wise action. Similarly you must be aware of your intention. Hence feeling and intention combined prove to be a wiser tool for the creation of a higher order that is also known as an intuition coming from within. This helps to learn the most effective choice for you. This becomes an intuitive process of one's own self. It represents consciousness.
With this much, I close my narrative.
Yours loving father.

A letter from a father

Dearest, I choose this form of writing deliberately. I feel a necessity to pen down after reading books of much value and practical use. I was busy reading first, such topics that are meant to grow your physical power, which attributes to worldly possessions necessary for our common existence. Money, wealth and future assets are some strong aspects for our survival. But I continued my reading effort and this time, I encountered with an interesting part relating to our non-physical needs which I mostly find in religious scripts or holy books like 'Bhagvat Gita'. Much interestingly, sitting in a purely western environment wherein science, technology and practical logic hold good in almost all spheres, a book narrating what our inner feelings and intuitions require not just in daily life but rather in each moment of our precious life, becomes so significant as to note a few things here just as an impetus to inform an important person in my life that you are.
What-ifs of our life eat into our life's vitals so let not lose our powers over these which are countless. It is better to keep power just in the day that we live on the earth, and not on how to manage tomorrow. The worldly connections are to be used totally without panic or fear. Let us keep in our mind that the universe operates unlike humankind. Live in the trust that when it is appropriate, pieces will fall into place and we will see clearly. Challenge  with the trust in your self rather than letting energy leak to a future that does not exist.
With this much , I wish you all success. I hope to continue as I myself learn more.
yours loving father

Journey to the Grand Canyon National Park

Our days in U.S. is decreasing and consequently it was decided to visit this national park without delay on Saturday, March 10. The google forecast had been clearly showing the possibility of 40% shower on that day there. So we proceeded with  some concern and pray for the sojourn to become as much successful as feasible.
By 12.45 p.m. we were at the Visitors' Centre and only clouds filled the sky but the presence of so many visitors had reassured us that much as to take some eatables as well as  to view  a movie concerning the magnificence of this place in the attached theatre. By that time we had liberty to go outside by an orange-shuttle-bus to its route sights.
We had reached a sight of beauty that instantly mesmerized me thoroughly to stay as long as possible to view the canyon in a very high spirit. A lot of mobile shooting from various angles of the depth and its colorful sights took us far into a trance. By the time we got another route-bus at the visitors centre, we found a slow drizzle. Thereafter, we started roaming around and around without getting a chance to physically alight  the bus to reach the other noted spots of sight-seeing due to rising pressure of both, colder wind and shower outside. After reaching the visitors centre we were almost certain to confine against the weather factor.
At 4.30 p.m. we ventured by car to try for another sight-seeing route which could not rightly be noted while driving in a difficult state of mind.
Despite the fact that we had not seen 100% of the grand canyon national park, even a 40% was a sufficient slice for me and wife to remember its enjoyment and adventure. Specially a lover of showers and hills since childhood days, for me it was a trip beyond description with full satiety. 

Some Key Notes from Robert T. Kiyosaki's "THE BUSINEE OF THE 21ST CENTURY"

Part One: Take Control of Your Future and Don't be Fooled Again. The Silver Lining- When times are bad is when the real entrepreneurs emerge.The Employment Mythology: During the Agrarian Age, most people were entrepreneurs. The age for retirement was 65 on the orders of Bismarck in 1889. Then the average life of people was45.
Where do you live? E for employees, S for small business, B for Big business and I for investors. These are 1st,2nd, 3rd and 4th quadrants.
Changing Jobs is not changing quadrants, it is better changing your address.
E is for security, S is for independence, B is for independence and I is for financial freedom. A circle of friends who share your dreams and values.
The power of your own Network.V = N sqare.Money flows to the business with the best leaders.
The Four Elements of Leadership: mental, physical, spiritual and emotional.
A real world business education contains three kinds of education, scholastic education i.e. formal teaching to read, write and do math. Professional education i.e. how to work for money preparing you for life in the E and S quadrants. Financial education i.e. learning to have money work for you.
Life skills: It tells about the network marketing for people to learn real-world skills of an entrepreneur.
Get rich quick is an oxymoron.

An Encounter with Nature's Bounty in Litch Field Park

When we had been planning to visit Litch Field Park, Rakesh had shown his knowledge about it through his close friend, Saurav who had himself an insufficient amount of information of the same. this trip was a maiden visit for each of us.
After our arrival at the park around 1.45p.m. we knew its popularity and significance since there was a large number of visitors, mostly from Phoenix and surrounding townships as I imagine, including babies and children with their guardians on that week-end Sunday afternoon we entered into the park having paid $40 per adult and its half per child with a consession of $5 per head.
We first saw a section full of colourful birds. The American flamingoes were looking so charming. A large number of pea-cocks were next- some of which gave their live activities on an open space whereas the others were lying under cages. Some people gave live-shows of pet parrots and another tiny creature. We now moved towards the water life, fishes in hundreds of variety were comfortably swimming in huge aquariums, some of these were like rope, pipe, grass, stone, rectangle, round and in all possible colours. We then entered a sea lion show at 3.30. Rakesh told this to be performing less than average despite the trainers of the sea lion tried utmost. For us it was splendid. We now rushed to wildlife encounter show of 15 minute duration. There we had trained birds performing nicely at their trainer's command.
We henceforth started to endeavor to find and enjoy the vast animal kingdom within the stipulated period i.e. to finish before 6 p.m. and again enter the diversity of life in water. We had now big cats of all around the world, lions,  a variety of deers, monkeys, vultures, foxes, buffaloes, zebras, giraffes, camels,wart hogs with shining teeth, saltwater crocodiles, snakes, birds and what not ? Around 6 p.m. we went to a child play center while Rakesh headed for woolen garments as it was quite cold. Pihu began to climb and descend and once fell upside down with a leg within chains but she soon resumed her choice play. We slowly entered the water world for a final round. White alligator, river monsters fishes, marine sea turtle,  during our 5African rock penguins, sharks, reefs to be touched and so forth were some special features which we enjoyed a lot to encounter. We snapped most of the events. We finally returned home at 7.35 p.m.

Life in The American Community

I have been habituated to live amidst the fellow Indians in different parts of India. In Bihar and Jharkhand, our neighbours were mostly alike. We often saw them to live as simply as the  natives mostly are. In the other parts of India like West Bengal, Delhi and Maharashtra, they resembled less with us due to life style variations and in Tamil Nadu, we saw the barriers of language and alike.

After arriving at my present abode, I feel a new sense of decency mainly after finding these white American men, women, kids and their pets all around. They are highly conscious of their public appearance in terms of  physical fitness, smart look, dressing sense and overall behavior. It is said that this is a free country i.e. devoid of all obsessions. However someone may easily sense here a definite art of living. Osho once said that the real Brindavan was California. Even spirituality does exist when there is an environment with a modest limit to everything. In chaos and disorder, a popular  religion looks hollow. Contrarily in abundant prosperity, we see the religion of life. I had heard that this was a purely material world where humanity serves the purpose of expansion of commerce and wealth but here I can feel the existence of humanity also via business and profit.

Back at home, our nation boasts of preserving our ancient culture slowly accommodating the benefits

of modern advantages due to advancing science and technology under the garb of the largest democratic set-up known as India. It appears that the thoughtful Nehru must have felt what I feel now and thus had vowed before launching of the five year plans in India  to bring about the results in mere ten years what the then USA had attained during two hundred and fifty years of hard struggle for the sake of growth.

Today in the afternoon, I was talking to my school day friend, Dr. Arun Singh who told me his earnest desire to retire from his present profession in US i.e. a practicing physician but he also desired to settle back in his native nation, state and township. He then narrated his sad experiences there after mother's death in April,2017 when he and his brothers had to waste months together and then pay a handsome bribe simply to get the mother's death certificate at their native place of origin. Life there was so disgusting that Arun still felt unnerved and wished to know my view. I too could not add any special positive note to what he had in store. Both felt an urge of solidarity with our age old promises made during those early years of life-making in Netarhat school and at the same time,  both stand confused or bewildered under our present circumstances despite the fact that we have been trying hard to make justice with our respective professions, societal obligations and likewise.

I have lived here for merely less than a month and should add more to this much as I experience. My son-in-law gave a few books for my time pass as well as  entertainment. Thus I started reading these one after one. Every page of them gives some lessons. The contents are meaningful.What I understood till now should be a helping technique to write further. This is 3rd March now to continue with a higher sense of onus. I must not blame anyone for whatever I feel and write is the central point. An unbiased observation of the surroundings tells the fruition  of hard thinking, followed by a well planned preparation before starting a new venture with' whatsoever be the results' like mindset and similar circumstances that might be a primary force to have driven this society to slowly come up to the present level. The occupants of this  vast nation were outsiders from Europe, South America and Africa. They came to make their fortunes. Many came as forced labourers. Even now, people come with great aspirations. 

Shipment From China

The markets I look around in the city are huge-sized since these are spread over acres of landed area unlike we find in our sub-continent, in comparably quite small land holdings. Another prominent aspect of the markets here is almost every single
small or big item offered also has a hidden space below somewhere the item- Made in China,
something strange for visitors like me in particular, may be witnessed. These are mainly the consumer goods. Once we visited a weapons shop in the WalMart, we were told that this had different types of rifles only. Hence on production of his driving licence as a  necessary condition for purchase of such weapons here, I had an opportunity to see the two types of rifles each costing around $ 400, i.e. Rs. 25000- 27000. These were both light-weight and one of these with an in-built telescope, may be detachable. One without the telescope was semi-automatic. I found both much easy to handle. One of these had a punch hallmark namely, West Field. I however found these to be U.S. produced. Our ancestral .22 bore rifle was of U.S. make. It was of Winchester Co., made in the year 1877 about 140 years ago. I sense the difference of technology in the making of such weapons. I fully enjoyed this trip to the weapons shop.
Here we find no Chinese vehicles but the Japanese vehicles may be seen in plenty in every corner.In Bihar, we had a plethora of Chinese consumable items, out of which many are eatables like fruits in particular. In fact we as a student of economics study the effects of the comparative cost issues in international trade. But you see the American economic behavior, the causes of the same become more relevant because here we have an already advanced economy accommodating the products of other countries to show their presence in accordance with the maneuvring of market-mechanism which means the pressures of market demand in relation to the quality, price and similar other qualifications. This I write with a special reference to a sofa-set lying inside the drawing room which is very comfortable to sit and we had demanded on-line its suitable cover. This sofa set was of the Chinese make and hence its cover as demanded on-line was accepted to be supplied by the Chinese manufacturer through shipment from China and was delivered much before the scheduled date of delivery as a happy surprise for each of us. Later the cover was fitted and proved to be of its exact size and fitness. It indeed has added to its charm satisfying all of us.
