Lucky to be with grandparents!

I would consider you lucky if you have been brought up under the guidance of your grandparents in addition to your parents. However I do understand that in this modern era where we humans are more like machines doing work non-stop throughout the day, we have shifted from social culture of joint family to a nuclear family. In a nuclear family where both parents are working, the child either spends his time either in a boarding school or in a creche. But on the contrast, in a joint family or if a child has grandparents at home, s/he can spend time listening to nice story tales and grandparents take care of the child just like his own parents. It has been observed in many cases that grandparents are more attached to their grandchild than their own parents. But the issue has many dimensions.
Why do many youngsters avoid staying with their parents when they are old? Why do we as youngsters forget that we are also getting older each day. This cycle of life goes on since our birth. We should never forget that what we sow, so shall we reap.
Further, here is a piece of advice for all youngsters :
Learn to respect your elders. Be soft spoken and try to learn from their experience. Generation gap shall continue to exist but with little love, understanding and patience, life can be happy for all!

It is good to be important but it is more important to be good

Hi
I am coming back to writing a blog post after a long time. Last post was in early August. I firmly believe in doing things late than never..
Today's post shall focus keeping in mind a nice quote I came accross which says "It is good to be important but it is more important to be good" . Well life is a journey with ups and downs. Sometimes you are on a high, sometimes on a low. But you should always try your best to be a good human being. A good human being defined by me would be a person who extends his help to others irrespective of caste, religion or relations, a person who tries not to hurt feelings of others and a person who honours his words. I believe if you are good to others, you will eventually gain importance. There can be nothing more beautiful in this world than to gift someone a smile. So be good to others and see how life would change ahead!
Good Luck!

What a tropicana juice pack taught me

Well while I was taking a sip of tropicana juice, my eyes were stuck at the juice can which said "Contains permitted natural colur and added flavor(Natural orange flavoring substances)". So I just searched for the term "Nature Identical flavoring substances" and here is what all I found:

There are three types of flavorings used in foods:

• Natural flavoring substances: Flavoring substances obtained from plant or animal raw materials, by physical, microbiological or enzymatic processes. They can be either used in their natural state or processed for human consumption, but cannot contain any nature-identical or artificial flavoring substances.
• Nature-identical flavoring substances: Flavoring substances that are obtained by synthesis or isolated through chemical processes, which are chemically identical to flavoring substances naturally present in products intended for human consumption. They cannot contain any artificial flavoring substances.
• Artificial flavoring substances: Flavoring substances not identified in a natural product intended for human consumption, whether or not the product is processed

(Thanks to Wikipedia I could find this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavor)

Hope next time if you happen to read this on an eatable, you will perfectly understand what these terms are all about.

You must fear God

Hi
Well whether you believe in God or you are an atheist, you must fear God be it in form of a power or a deity. I was unaware of divine powers before I came accross Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj. Maharaj ji taught us the real meaning of sprituality and what is divine love. Supreme power in this whole universe is Lord Krishna.
Not restricting myself to a specific religion, here are my beliefs and learnings:

• God is one
• God is everywhere, so whenever you do a sin alone, you are not alone but God is watching you.
• God always lives within your heart to note down your good and bad thoughts. You might be wondering why divine people like Arjuna were not punished even after doing so many murders? Well this is because Arjun never had the intention or thought of murder and God always sees your intention.
• The biggest sin you can do is to make others unhappy or hurt them.
• The word Radhe is a very powerful and divine word. Enchanting this will give you strength and peace of mind.

All these have been taught by Maharaj ji . If you want to know more visit: http://www.jkp.org/

Hello World- Here comes Moon Star!

This is my first entry on my very first blog. You must be wondering why my blog name is "Moon Star" Well the simple reason behind this is that moon and star make a very lovely pair together, a perfect match for each other or rather made for each other. Now the next issue is who is the moon and who is the star? Well the moon is a beautiful girl with a handsome star- it is all my hypothesis and imagination.
