Chicken Soup for the Soul..!!

Recenty read about Chicken soup for the Soul series of books.These consist of short inspirational stories and motivational essays.The first book had about 101 stories.Plus there are some 106 titles.

They are called Chicken Soup as chicken soup is used as a home remedy for the sick.They have been edied by motivational speakers Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen(never heard about them).But yes,motivational stories seem to be a good read.I mean human beings look for sources of inspiration and motivation all the time.If you have ever noticed,if you do any good or are successful one question people ask is "who is your source of inspiration?"

Well I have gone through Paulo Coelhos most of the books and I simply admire them.After reading The Alchemist,I remember that I made a time-table and followed it religiously for a week.Can you imagine..?If one fine day an award is being announced for the most indisciplined,most irregular student,I am sure that I will be nominated(nah..I dont claim I will win).So such a student making a routine and following it not for a day but a week??Hmmm..Good work Mr Coelho.Remember Alchemist said to follow your dreams.I did that too.Slept for 10 hours daily just to have dreams.(All I had was nightmares in which I was put behind bars and a bowl of Rasgullas kept out of my reach..!!)

So the point is I will like to read some of these chicken soul books.Whats intresting is that most of these books are directed at specific groups of people like Chicken Soup for The Prisoner's Soul,Chicken Soup for The Mother's Soul..Intresting.

So if you are encountering losses in business,if you have been dumped by your lover,if your son just ran away, just to come back after a week married,if you fought with your best friend,if your maths teacher threw you out of your class for not doing homework and if the new pair of jeans you bought last week doesn't fit you any more,its time to get some motivation.So grab your copy.

Waise on a more serious note,I won't be reading Chicken Soup for the soul to get motivation.If I ever feel low,I go and have a full plate of Chicken tandoori.That puts me in Seventh heaven. Sorry Peta India,I have no plans to turn vegetarian.

Finally few smiles...!!

After the bomb blasts,the past few days have brought about changes.People smiling and hopes rekindled..its like after so many days of black dark clouds even the sun was frustrated and decided enuf was enuf,it had to shine.While America received its first black president with open arms,there are talks that team Australia doesn't deserve the world champs title anymore,thanks to the beating it received from apna India.Saying anything conclusive on my part would be utter foolishness,coz australians have shown that they are true champs.They have in the past defied critics and have come back stronger and sharper whenever they have been put into such a situation.That's a different story that their bowling doesn't seem lethal anymore with the likes of McGrath and Warnie taking a bow and batting too looks lacklusture.So as of now lets play the waiting game!!

Coming to Chandrayan-1,credit is due to ISRO for its fantastic work.Where countries like USA and Russia could not make it to the moon in 1st attempt,we did.That too,by taking just 1/3rd the price taken by those countries.Talks are that ISRO is planning a trip to studying the outer surface of Sun as well.Plus the manned mission to moon.WoW...Hamara Hindustan Rocks bhai!!

Arre oh Obama Bhaiya..Mubarack ho.Thinking about a Black President in America,say about a decade before was like thinking of Madonna singing Bhajans and Jagjit Singh trying his hand at Qawwali.But then here we are..the 44th US president is a black.So as billions of hope rests on his shoulders,i sincerely hope that people dont get impatient and give him ample time to prove his worth.Policies can't be implemented in a day.

Waise when will Madonna sing Bhajans then??
