The Tater People

This world is full of Tater people. I am just giving some examples:


Some people never seem motivated to participate, but
Are just content to watch while others do the work.
They are called "Spec Taters".






Some people never do anything to help, but are gifted
At finding fault with the way others do the work.
They are called "Common Taters".




Some people are very bossy and like to tell others what
To do, but don't want to soil their own hands.
They are called "Dick Taters".




Some people are always looking to cause problems by
Asking others to agree with them. It is too hot or
Too cold, too sour or too sweet.
They are called "Agie Taters".



There are those who say they will help, but somehow
Just never get around to actually doing the promised help.
They are called "Hezza Taters".





Some people can put up a front and pretend to be
Someone they are not.
They are called "Emma Taters".






Then there are those who love others and do what they
Say they will. They are always prepared to stop whatever
They are doing and lend a helping hand. They bring real
Sunshine into the lives of others.
They are called "Sweet Taters".



Really some persons are lucky who are in company of Sweet Tater.

Visit to Birpur and Kosi Barrage

In last week of April , I got a chance to visit Birpur and Kosi Barrage. Birpur is a city and a notified area in Supaul district . It is a small town on the Indo-Nepal border near the historic Kosi Barrage on the Kosi River. A visit to this historic Barrage was really a fantastic experiance for me. you feel it , when you come across with fact that how Kosi has been tried to tamed at this point. Kosi - the "curse" of Bihar has only a couple of years ago played havoc with people of this area with unprecedented flood. In this visit some colleagues of our department were with me . Here are some photgraphs taken there:

What is success- A poem

In first week of May , I got a chance to attend a workshop on "Leadership Styles" at Delhi. What a wonderful experiance! Really resource persons were so talented and so motivating that , I do not have doubt that world is full of good  and successful people. I am unfortunate if I do not get a chance to hear them or interact with them. I wish to write a lot on my experiance of this workshop, but at this moment this poem  written by Amanda Bradley entitled - What is Success?- which was presented before us :-

What is success?

Success is believing in all you can be,
in all that you dream and dare,
Taking time to help others
find their dreams as well,
being ready to give and to share...........

Success is enjoying
the pathways you have chosen
and feeling so glad to be you,
Helping others to feel
self fulfillment and joy and real pride
in whatever they do.........................

Success is discovering
new ways to reach higher
and reach out to those all around....
for only through caring
and helping and giving
can life's true successes be found !

 Really a motivating poem , I really like and love it.....

Some emerging thoughts

So this month is proving to be much more difficult than previous one. I was thinking about it, and actually that i have been so blessed over the last few years that i haven't really been faced with a lot of emotional things. I'm not sure how to describe it,
 Life changing really.

It's been tough.

But as i sit here and write this entry, I also have a calming feeling in my heart. I have learned a lot of valuable lessons this year.  Some, as collected by me, are as follow:

Love has nothing to do with looks, but everything to do with time, trust, and interest.

Laughing, crying, joy and anger… All are a vital. All make us human.

The greatest truths in life are uncovered with simple, steady awareness.

Bad things do happen to good people.

Uncertainty is caused by a lack of knowledge.

Time heals all wounds… regardless of how you feel right now.

Your health is your life.

Chance is a gift, so act on chance when given the opportunity.

Kindness and hard work will take you further than intelligence.

Carelessness is the root of failure

Purposely ignoring the obvious is like walking backwards toward the enemy.

Taking ownership of failure builds the foundation for success.


It is said that life happens in a blink of an eye, enjoy it, accept the hardships, embrace the joys, and feel every moment... its those feelings that are the sweet stuff of life. Because what is important in life is the LOVE and PEOPLE, and when these two converge.

Waiting for something to happen................

Oof...... I am writing a blog almost after a gap of Two months. Reason is that I am waiting and waitnig something to happen after a mess created by my headquarter and of course some too much engagement , some mental, some physcical............

 Still waiting .................... ah.............................

If pain has to come, may it come quickly. Because I have a life to live, and I need to live it in the best way possible. So why fate is playing a waiting game?

I just remember the great Eienstein who had  said:There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. I just think that really it is nothing sort of miracle that one day an order is issued and next day you are asked to wait. And this waiting is continued as if it will continue till the end of earth. So what should I think everything is miracle ?  The best way is to adjust and accept all these miracles thrust on you !

People aren't either wicked or noble. They're like chef's salads, with good things and bad things chopped and mixed together in a vinaigrette of confusion and conflict.

Still the hope remains - The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance, but live right in it, under its roof.
 So hope of working with loved one should never die .
