After a long hiatus, and a while since we heard anything on the radio or television about CoVid, the world finally does seem to be returning to normal, bar the war in Ukraine, and the riots in France.
SanKom Mind Spa hopes that all our readers are healthy, safe, and back to leading fully normal lives, socialising in a pre-2020 manner. Thank You for supporting us through CoVid and the post-CoVid recovery phase.
Today, we look at a topic that relates closely to an article we had posted a few months ago: Looking Up, Looking Foward
In many people’s minds, arises a question when the phrase, “….please, think forward.” Is uttered. The phrase is very common in all walks of life, especially when there are struggles in succeeding in a particular endeavour, and also in successful attempts. However, the difference between the situations lies in the source of the words. One might be in a position to hear the phrase or utter the phrase.
Questions, a quintessential part of every living organism’s everyday survival routine. Over time, especially when one’s actions become repetetive and redundant, one tends towards searching for a new adventure. Carnivores start exploring new methods for capturing prey, prey try to outrun in new ways to avoid being captured, herbivores explore new territory across all seasons to stay in the optimal environment, and we human beings start to question to trigger the learning part of our brains.
When we are small kids, questions form an integral part of our everyday lives, as we come across a new phenomena, a new character, a new action, a new object, a new procedure, a new new almost with every interaction. As we grow older, due to societal obligations, and due to our own interpretation of the societal obligations, we tend towards questioning less and accepting things as they are. When we start closing our inquisitive character, we narrow the opening to learning new things, and are content with content that is already inside our brains. Over time, the world evolves around us, rendering us to become antiques that have huge value, but of little use in the current day and age.
An antique, however unique and valuable the antique might be, the usability quotient is still from the age of the antique. Some might argue that the chalices from the age of Napoleon Bonaparte or Akbar would still function the same way. Yes, sure, they would be helpful to serve a portion of wine or a herbal concoction to guests in a royal way. However, in today’s world, whilst looking for sophistication, we have done away with most of the older ways of keeping the vessels fresh. We now depend on a variety of dishwashing methods to rejuvenate our everyday vessels. A chalice from the Napoleon or Akbar era would not stand a chance going through the modern dishwashing methods that are automated. When we try to wash them manually, we still must take enough care and extreme caution so as to not damage the chalice, as there is not much chance that we can land a replacement in case of damage. Also, when we hold such a unique chalice, higher chances are that we hold the chalice because of the high monetary and high historic value of the chalice than due to its use in our world.
To stay relevant, adapting our methods to the modern day routines definitely helps us stay relevant. However, to stay relevant also in our own individual worlds that we built up over time (the close circle bubble that we have concocted carefully by adding ingredients [relatives, friends, associates, colleagues, supporters, followers]) we also need to adapt and ask questions. Questions about how to adapt the particular change in a way that it causes minimal disruption to our immediate environment. When we get inspired by someone’s success or by some particular idealogy, it does not necessarily fit directly into our highly indigineous, individualised sub-worlds. Inspirations no matter how good they seem to be need adaptations. Questions and answers gathered over time for these essential questions will determine how well WE adapt into the new version of the world we have envisioned based on inspirations.
As Charles Darwin wrote, “One general law, leading to the advancement of all organic beings, namely, multiply, vary, let the strongest live and the weakest die.“
Human belief is that, when sharing that they have been inspired, the magitude of their achievements deteriorate. Due to this ignorance, we often fail to be grateful to those that have inspired. Also, while being in a position of inspiring others, we tend towards looking for appreciation. The law of Karma, and law of recirpricity states clearly, “What you give, You will receive.”
Every human being upon deeper cognizance can recognise that everyone can be present in all three phases of history, current affairs and the future by doing the following:
Be Impartially gratefully inspired.
Inspire respectfully.
Be indefinitely unconditionally inspiring.
Inspire.

Let us start with a small flurry of questions that include some self-reflection, and relaxation exercises!
Trust that you are doing well, and staying healthy along with your families/friends.
Now, let me first explain the runway numbering system in simple terms: They are named with a two digit number across the world which represent the orientation of the runway depending on approach direction. Angles mentioned at a factor of 0.1 form the numbering.
Example: Runway 09 is a runway facing East, however, the same runway becomes 27 when approach from the East while looking West. 09 = 90° (36 stands for North facing) All angles are measured in anti-clockwise direction (remember the co-ordinate system & angular measurement system learnt in mid-school. Angles are possible in steps of 10°. Again, same runway that is 01 will become 19 depending on approach.
Now, just like the runway numbering is a globally followed standard, there are several standards for each and every aspect in this world.
Trust that your family, friends, near-dear, and you are staying healthy amidst this growing virus threats that seem to be never-ending. Let us all follow all safety precautions with utmost sincerity & increase the chances of staying healthy.
I assume the majority of us have done it. So, what does a hawk or eagle have to do with today’s concept?
A lot, and along with two of SanKom Mind Spa’s earlier articles on Zoom-in, Zoom-out, Focus…. & Comfortable Challenge & Maintenance make the case quite strong. Let me start to break it down into smaller segments for better understanding.

Caution and precaution are key.
How many times have we made use of a soap?
Redundant question. Am sure all of us have made use of a soap almost every other hour in one form or another. So, what is the purpose of a soap? Have I gone mad asking these questions? Am I leading towards protecting yourselves from CoVid? No, not even close.

As we move towards the end of the year, and try to look back at our achievements, something that we often miss out is the contribution of our team members.

As you start reading through our article, we trust that you are staying healthy along with your loved ones. The only way to negate the impact of the Corona virus is by vaccination. Do get yourselves vaccinated & advocate vaccination for others. And while you do all this, follow all safety protocols.
Hope that you are staying healthy & safe, and have got vaccinated against the Corona Virus.
Today, as we slowly try to regain consciousness after a lazy, yummy, sumptuous food filled Ganesh/Vinayagar Chaturthi, we try to gather some lessons we could learn out of Lord Ganesha.

Trust you are all staying healthy & safe. Please get vaccinated as soon as possible, as this is the only way to reduce the chances of catching this deadly disease & to reduce possibility of hospitalisation. Please follow all Standard Operating Procedures that we have been following since last March. Keep your young ones safe inside the house, & step out only if necessary.
Once upon a time, there was a barber named Subramanian alias Subbu in a small village. He used to carry his tools in small wooden box & go around the village offering services to the village’s bigwigs. He was the preferred barber of the village panchayat leader. He had an assistant named Kumaran. The common practice of the public was to buy lottery tickets & expect to win a fortune. Subbu also used to buy a few tickets every month & wait earnestly for his turn to become a millionaire. One fine day, he was shaving the panchayat leader when his assistant came running in with the newspaper in the hand & screaming. Getting afraid, he started to ask Kumaran on why he was screaming. Kumaran finally told him that Subbu had won the latest lottery this month for one crore rupees. Subbu’s joy knew no bounds, and he threw his barber kit into the air in happiness. He informed the leader that he would no longer be carrying out barber duties & immediately went home. He informed his wife regarding the fortune, had a bath, and started to the bank along with Kumaran. Along the way, they arranged a complete entourage filled with trumpets & drummers & dancers to accompany them to the bank.

For everything, there is a purpose.
Hope that you are staying healthy, safe & motivated.
With today, we complete what would be one complete year of CoVid restrictions. A small virus that started off in Wuhan, multiplied, and travelled, and infected various people from several backgrounds, castes, religions, colour, gender, build, locations, body types, etc. One very important lesson that the virus stated to the human community, “You might be at the top of the food chain, but, always remember that even the best are not without flaws.”
So, what did we do wrong that we could have done better or right? Before we go into that question, let us get into one simple, yet powerful concept applicable even before the first human being set foot on Planet Earth.
