Friday the 13th, why is it unlucky?

Image
When we hear this date Friday the 13 th , the first picture comes in our mind is the famous horror series. Yes, I have seen the movie and it is seriously thrilling. You must have also heard that most of the buildings in Europe do not have the 13 th floor, even if it is a 15 floor building. We have recently noticed the same practice in India. Most of the buildings built in last decade in India do not have 13 th floor. There is a word attached to this date, which is Friggatriskaidekaphobia . It means fear from Friday the 13 th . But what is the problem with this number 13? Why is it so unlucky? The answer lies there in history, resting for almost 400 years. The most famous reference of the date Friday the 13 th is 13 October 1307. Historically there is no horror incident attached with this date. But as per the historical text, on 13 October 1307 the King Philip IV captured almost all leaders of Knights Templar. This was officially ...

What do I want from life?

As a writer (by hobby) I like to talk to people and I love to share experiences. I also help them by answering their questions and confusions related to their life using my own experiences. While this journey of learning the life, I met few people looking for answers of few questions. One of the most common question I have heard from most of the uncommon people is “What do I want from life?” I mentioned uncommon people especially as most of the people do not reach to a stage where they can ask questions from themselves. If you have a question from your life, your life journey must have been very special and that’s why you have reached to this question. Questions like this do not just come to mind. It takes a long journey, lots of experiences, lots of struggles and loads of emotions. And when a person reach to an endless road, when he does not know if it ever ends. He looks back and realises that he has covered a long path to reach here, but actually reached nowhere...

Can someone predict your future?

Can someone predict your future? Yes! Your future can be predicted. I know it is hard to believe. Some people say it is not true, some says it is true. The reason behind this 50-50 situation is your believes depend on your experience. If you have experienced something like this you will believe it and if you still had no such experience, it’s hard to believe. But if you will ask this question to me, my answer will be “Yes”. So friends, I would like to share my experience in this field and may be after reading this you will change your mind and will start believing these things. When I was a kid, I used to see my grandfather practicing “Yoga”. So I had a great interest in Yoga and Yoga related books. I used to read these books whenever I get a chance and then I learned that Yoga has three basic parts. Asana, Pranayaam & Dhyaan. Even if you will see some videos of Baba Ramdev, he also teaches some asana and pranayaams. But for me, the most interesting part was Dhyaan....

He changed my life. (My experience with OSHO)

Image
This story starts with my childhood. I have been taught in the school that Mahatma Gandhi was a great man, a great human being and one of the greatest leaders who changed this world. Mother Teresa was a great human being who devoted her life to wellness. Whenever I used to hear about a great personality, I wanted to be like him. Sometimes I wanted to be Gandhi, sometimes Teresa, Lord Buddha or Jesus Christ sometimes. Every year I used to get new books in a new classroom and every year I felt like being someone new. I wanted to be a Hero sometimes, who always win with bad people. Sometimes, I even thought about being like Lord Krishna, who is the controller of our lives. You can easily understand how difficult it is for a kid, choosing the right role model for him. After selecting few hundreds of them, I started looking for my next question, “What do I need to do for being one of them”. Was it a realistic question to be asked? Well I feel, everybody in this world wants to ...
