Code Name God

I heard the name of this book, when my lead Abdul was saying that he is going to purchase the book for his friend. So I just googled and read about it. After few months ago, my friend Vimalan and I went to Landmark. He was searching for some book. That time I remembered this book and suggested him to read. He bought it, but forgot to read. After few months he started reading it and told me that it was such a nice book and a must read.

Then I started reading the book. The author is an Indian scientist who born in mud floor. He becomes a great scientist in quantum physics. With his invention of using LASER in LASIK eye surgery, he became a multi-millionaire.

The book reflects his thought process. As a scientist he explains the world and his discovery of god. He explains the god using Physics and the way he does is mind blowing.

The following facts from the books are amazing,

  • The total energy of the universe is zero.

  • Under GUT (Grand Unification Theory), any field in the universe is subset of quantum field.

  • The size of the universe at the time of big bang is about one hundred millionth of a billionth of the size of a proton.

  • You can create ‘twin’ Photons and whatever be the distance that separates them, you change the state of one Photon, the other automatically and instantly adjusts its state.
Finally he concludes to do quantum meditation, through which we can feel the universe.

What is a real life?

What is a real life? Or what ever the life we are living is real? (Cool!!! In the first statement itself I arrived the topic :) ).

My profession is software. I write programs. But I don’t want my life to go programmatically. When I entered as a fresher, I was so interested to do programs. But after few years, the interest is reduced. I was bored of routine work. Waking up in the morning, going to office, returning late night, short sleep. Most of the weekends in office. Most of the time I forgot to call my mom. The life is going like this. So I started concentrate on other activities.

My interest turned into books, music & movies. But after some period of time, these also bother. So I asked myself what is a real life?

Well. As said in the movie Pancha Thanthiram, "It is easy to ask question; To answer the question is difficult". Does work is life? No, work is part of life. We can't say this or that. But the answer is "it depends" (When I attended Six Sigma training, the trainer said that a Six Sigma Black Belt guy will say 'it depends'. But I am not a Black Belt guy).

We born in this world. Whether we like it or not, we need money for survival. Stand in a higher level and think what money is. It is a man made one. Honestly speaking its a fake entity. But we are highly needed of money. So to get money, we need to work. We need money for survival.

I have seen few people, who are spending time only in office. You can see them in weekends and late nights. Also there are few people, who never slogs in office. What do you say, which one is better?

When my friend Senthilnathan came to Madurai, I met him in GRT. I remember that night and the chat we had. I was saying that my big brother is spending more time in office and he is not carring his personal life. And I said that the work and personal life should be balanced. But he said it is not like that.

Here is his statement,

'The company is feeding me. It gives me the social status. So I wont bother to work hard. My prioirty is work than personal life'

How true the statement is. So in which we need to concentrate? work (or) personal life. The answer is 'it depends'. If you are passionate about work and you have goals to reach, work hard. If you want to spend more time in home, plan your profession accordingly.

In very simple terms, it can be said as "What you sow is what you reap"

To live happily, we need to do the things which we like. If you like painting, do painting in your free time. If you dont like your current work, look for the work which you like. Have some hobbies which are not at all related with your work. Like if you are a software professional, dont play computer games in free times. Try gardening, biking or learn musical instruments. Whether you like the work or not, it is determined by your mind only. If you start love your work, your life will be enjoyable.

Life is beautiful. Learn to enjoy it.

Searching for a lighthouse...

I found this sentence, when I was reading the book 'The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari' by Robin Sharma. I bought this book 1.5 years ago, when I was buying the 'The Da Vinci Code' book. The Da Vinci code was good and it doesn't let me to put down. So I totally forgot to read it. It was there in my self for nearly 1.5 years unnoticed.

The day was Diwali. I am totally bored of reading fiction books, watching TV and of course going to office. The day was really a mess. I was blank and really donno what to do. When I looked into my self, I found this book which tells the way to look myself. Last week when I was in Bangalore my bro was saying about this book. And my lead Abdul also saying about it. So started reading.

Bored huh? Like I had the book, but it was unnoticed. We are all having the MIND, but not utlizing it. The book says how to utilize it effectively and make success in our personal, professional & spiritual life.
