Your Life is Your Program

By

In the current age, a lot of people working from home are increasingly interconnected with almost all the world through the electronic gadgets like mobile phones, computers, laptops, iPads, tablets, etc. With these new habits made in the recent decades, it feels as if this is the new norm.

Nowadays people are expected to be available online except when they are sleeping, and are expected to answer to the innumerable IMs, chats, and other messages that keep bombarding the devices in hand.

For newcomers, it may seem to be an enjoyable experience to start with, but soon, the disillusionment occurs, when the lines between Work and Personal life get not just blurred, but simply wiped out!

At this juncture, what the professionals need is not the tips and techniques to run and win the rat race only in the materialistic world, but it is more about being selective in choosing the projects, either in personal life or at work, and giving their best. So, focused few versus insignificant many.

Program or Project Management and Life aren't really vastly different. Programs or Projects have relatively shorter timelines whereas Life has a larger timeline. The techniques we use in managing projects and programs can also be used in Life, in the right sense, to have a better life. On the other hand, the wisdom we gain in life through experience and philosophy can also be used in the Project Management domain. It is important to get the best of both worlds.

We are bringing out this book as our attempt to give various perspectives to our readers in this regard.

Role of Friends in Life.

By
The meaning and nature of friendship changes with the stages of life.  In real life, friendship does not remain the same throughout life. As a man grows, circumstances, ego, jealousy, misunderstandings, and economic differences slowly test relationships.  Many friends come close for some time and later move away.  This is natural reality of life.  Below is a more realistic view of friendship through the stages of life. 1. Age 4-6: At this age, friends are playmates. A child thinks a friend is someone who shares toys, plays games, and spends time together. Friendship is innocent and temporary.  If a quarrel happens, it is forgotten quickly.  2. Age 7-15: Friends become school companions. Children start forming small groups.  Friendship is based on studying together, playing sports, and common interests. Loyalty begins to develop, but it is still strongly influenced by surroundings.  3. Age 16-30: This is the period of multiple, significant life ...

What is Gratitude in human values?

By
Gratitude, thankfulness, or gratefulness is a feeling of appreciation (or similar positive response) by a recipient of another's kindness.  We express gratitude when someone shows kindness, provides help, gives a gift, or offers encouragement. Expressing thanks is also appropriate for both big and small gestures, as it strengthens relationships and creates positive feelings.  It is beneficial to show gratitude whenever you genuinely feel it, as this makes interactions more meaningful and strengthens your connection with others. In spirituality, gratitude shifts towards a deeper recognition of life's interconnectedness, such as meditating on the gift of breath, the universe's order, or inner peace as expressions of divine presence. Practices include affirmations such as "I am grateful for this moment" during breathwork or reflecting on personal growth as unseen blessings, aligning with present-moment awareness from traditions like Hindu philosophy. This form trans...

Value of the Human Body.

By
The Human body, which is useless if life is lost, should be preserved as long as life lasts. Has this body always been like this? No, the body that is now beautiful, firm, and attractive will, after some time, become loose, unattractive, emaciated, and eventually fall off. We must not forget this. We must always remember that this body is not me; it is only an instrument that I use. Just like how I use my watch carefully, how I keep it clean, how I get it repaired when it won't work, and how new parts are installed I should keep the body in the same way, clean, well-dressed, nourished, and beautified. It should be kept healthy, and if necessary, the failed organs should be repaired through medicine. But we should not forget one thing and remember that it is a tool to be used for an important task because it is not permanent. It should be used wisely and carefully for knowing the truth and for the realisation of God but not for the purpose of only feeding it. Waste paper, bro...

LOBHA(GREED)

By
Image
LOBHA(Greed ) is one of the six bad vices viz., Kama( desire/passion), Krodha(anger), Lobha ( greed), Moha(bondage), Mada( ego), and Mascharya( jealous).  It literally means greed.  It is the excessive desire, especially the desire to appropriate to oneself what belongs to others that too against the principles of Dharma. It is an endless sickness.  It is the condition of the mind in which one is not satisfied even after possessing what one wants.  Sometimes it tempts people to do unethical, illegal, and immoral things in the pursuit of earning more money.  The absence of contentment even after having acquired the object of desire means the individual is greedy. Here is a story, how a greedy person without contentment in life transformed into a great Donar and Devotee by the grace of God. Purandara Dasa was born in a Madhwa Brahmin Community in a village near Kshemapura,  near Thirthahalli in Karnataka State.  His pare...

WHO WILL CRY WHEN WE DIE?

By
Image
It is natural that if a person dies in a family, all the blood relations and other members will cry for the beautiful, meaningful and colorful memories the deceased has to make them witnessed and enjoyed in their life and the lessons and life-changing values they learnt  from him. The people very close feel great pain for the loss of their well-wisher or friend..  But there may be some members also in the family of the deceased, who cry more than the blood relations, for the sake of Society. Since times immemorial we have been hearing the story of Lord Rama from Ramayana, an Indian Epic.  He was loved by all, and even by His enemies.  He was the embodiment of a perfect human being.  He was given the title of " Maryada Purushothama " considering him as a Supreme being for His unbroken principles as an ideal son, a wise brother, a caring husband, a good friend, the best disciple, etc., but most importantly a notable and admiring king in the clan of ...

Windows 10 Mobile is almost ready but not official yet, try latest build 10586.63

By
Image
Windows 10 Technical Preview build 10.0.10586.63 has been released to all the ‘Fast’ ring insiders. Once Microsoft does its verification with the fast ring insiders, this build will make its way to the slow ring. What is interesting now is to see if Microsoft is going to release this build as the formal Windows 10 stable release build! As many of you might already know, the official release of Windows 10 Mobile to all Windows 8.1 phone users has been posted from Christmas 2015 to the early 2016. When it is said ‘early’ it may mean Q1, the first quarter, ranging anything between 1st Jan 2016 to 31st March 2016. However having followed all the builds that got released in the last 6 months, we could say with confidence that on most of the Windows mobile devices, starting from the build 10536 the things have become more stable and the build 10586 in particular has become a quasi-official build when Microsoft released the version 10586.29. Because this represented the sam...
