Liars!

Women lie more than men.
Why do you all think men don’t respond on being called liars? Why do women get away with their lies?
Simply because men are bad liars and they get distracted by the beauty of women when they lie.

People lie only for two reasons:
Its either to keep you happy or to keep you ignorant.
I fear when women lie to keep me ignorant and men to keep me happy.



I have stopped lying long time ago. If the truth is haunting and not to be uttered; I keep quit. This confuses the other person, he then gives up all his efforts of knowing the truth.
I lie only to save others but myself.

Snippet 4

Wine and Gold were lost in wood.
Year after year the trees praised Gold,
for not turning old.
But all these years, Gold remained gold
And Wine was now worth more than Gold.

Snippet 3

I dreamed big dreams;
And sat with the key tied to me.
As opportunity knocked;
I cursed them all, for not opening the door for me.

Snippet 2

I made castles in sand,
Made them as beautiful as I could imagine.
But nobody there to see.
When I got them all to see;
nobody trusted me;
as all that they saw was, the open ocean.

Ninad Dighe.

Snippet 1

Its not what I said, mattered;
its not what I did.
All that mattered; when HE asked;
I had no answers for my Sins.

The wonders of Sleep.

“Let’s sleep on it”, a few years ago I felt this phrase to be funny. I do even today, some times. However considering the fact that many famous people have got answers to their difficult problem in their dream (many people have got answers to their questions in their dream and become famous), I no longer feel the way I used to.

I have been thinking how important is sleep to us? Considering the fact that every one sleeps. If a person goes too long without sleep he may suffer many physical consequences (read about it on the net). Researchers have shown that during one’s deep sleep period (NREM- non rapid eye movement) the brain activity is same as when a person is fully conscious. While thinking about it I came up with a hypothetical explanation about our sleep. The description here is more spiritual than scientific and more of what I feel. Now that I don’t have time and funding to research on my claims and publish them; I will just put forth the idea here.

The universe, our brain, our mind (subconscious) and spirits are more complex than we can imagine. The idea here is we make our destiny; and as people say you are what you think you are. We become what we dream and achieve what we want sooner or later. The only reason we don’t achieve our goals is because we keep changing our goals. So our mind (subconscious) which guides us to the goal is confused on what to pursue. Many spiritual leaders will tell you chant on the name of God and you’ll get close to God. Similarly if you desire something and think about it always; the whole universe will work accordingly to fulfill your desire and dream. As Swami Vivekananda said, “Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, live on the idea. Let the brain, muscle, nerve, every part of your body, be full of that idea and leave every other idea alone. This is the way to Success.” So when you consciously dwell a lot on an idea (that’s your dream) your subconscious comes up with answers to all your questions and you feel your destiny taking you close to your goal. Its said in the Geeta, Bible and Quran “What you shall believe thou shall come onto you.”

Consider for each living thing on the earth; humans, animals, insects etc there is a huge board on which your aspirations are written or downloaded (in computer terms); so if you keep changing your goals then you don’t give the universe enough time to get you to your goal or your subconscious wont help you in getting you your goals. You will ask me how is sleep important here? Now you have your dream or goal set, you are working towards fulfilling it but how do you write your goal on the board of the universe and let God know about your prayers and wants. God too will be confused on what you want to achieve if you keep praying for different things in short interval of time or you keep asking (thinking) for two thing which contradict each other eg: you pray to God to you want admission in a good college and then keep thinking all the time that you aren’t prepared for the test. Remember that thinking is like praying. If you think good, good shall be onto you; same for evil. Just think of what you want than thinking about how you will achieve it; leave the achieving part to the universe and the subconscious. When you consciously dwell on a goal that goal gets embedded in your subconsciously then this ideas are carried to the universe and God at the end of the day when you sleep. So sleep is very important.
When you sleep your ideas and goals are written on the board of the universe from where God reads them and your destiny is made. Now if you have only one goal the board will contain only that one idea and dream thus you will see your dreams coming true sooner. However if you keep changing your goal you confuse every one and its than that God will choose what he believe is the best for you. All what you dream is send through your sleep to the universe. Our brains are more complex then what we think they are. When you are awake you dream and when you sleep you transfer then to your subconscious thus influencing the universe around yourself. Our sleep reduces with age as we have less goals in old age when we have no goals at-all we tend to sleep less.

So why do you think babies sleep more and the older people sleep less?
I figure it out that babies are influenced by the environment in which they are living; they have no dreams or goals of their own (when born). The people around them are influencing their life putting in lot of information into their minds unknowingly. Like the language they learn, the surrounding they see and the prosperity of the family as a whole; all these information is processed by the baby brain and as this information is lot the baby needs to sleep more to transfer this info in to the subconscious mind. Thus till the baby can walk and speak they sleep more or to put it this way they have to sleep more. If you have a healthy family environment and let the baby sleep well, they will develop better. We know different people need different amount of sleep. It is said six hours of sleep is necessary for a healthy body and mind. Some people can do with just three to four hours of sleep where as some require eight hours of minimum sleep. I believe that people with no set goals and future aspirations need less sleep than those with many. Also those with a set goal will need less sleep that those who have many goals that keep changing every now and then. If you have a set goal you have only that goal which you think of every day and its no new information you are giving in, eventually you will have put your idea to your subconscious and your subconscious will start giving you ideas on how to fulfill them. Thus when you have a set idea eventually goal will be fulfilled earlier. However if you keep changing your goals and making contradictory goals which confuses your subconscious you will need more sleep as the mind figures out a way to achieve it. As the former president of India A P J Abdul Kalam said “ Dream is not what you see in your sleep, it what, that does not let you sleep.” Thus when your thoughts have sunk in to your subconscious, the subconscious transfers them to the board on the universe and then the whole universe conspires so that you reach your goal (I thought all these very funny to begin with but I have changed now). So its important you stick to you goal.

Similarly older people sleep less because memories rule their thoughts more than dreams. I mean they can do without much sleep. When you grow old you become tired mentally and also physically so you stop dreaming, you stop setting goals; thus very less or no information is transferred between your conscious and subconscious. Set a goal or make a dream, dream it, live on it and most important of all sleep well.


So sleep your way to success!
