Personal Experiences

Alcoholic Drinks:- I am a strong believer in healthy effects to Alcohol. I believe that whiskey is "water of life". However people at different times have consumed Alcohol in excess, to gain temporary enjoyment, thereby experiencing its effects on the brain and body. People in general have a very negative opinion of drinking. I would like to start with my personal experience. On joining services in youth at the age of 20 years, I had been posted to Air Force stations wherein the strength of bachelor officers was limited. This encouraged group of bachelors to have access to bars in the evenings. Being from the orthodox family, I had never had a hard drink before commissioning. On commissioning too, I could keep away from drinks for almost a month. My friends use to laugh at me, when every one ordered their drinks, and I use to order a glass of milk;  as our cook house and dinning hall were nearby, in the Officers' mess. I had no ...

On Reiki:- During my career in Air Force I had the opportunity to meet Group Captain Navjot  in 2002, at Air Force Station New Delhi. I was impressed by the knowledge, he had on Reiki. Reiki is a  technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.  In fact he showed us few examples of how ailments like pain, cough and cold could be cured by Reiki practically. Of all the places, We had met as officers conducting a Court Martial. We had time to discuss on Reiki and I had the opportunity to learn Reiki. He could know the urge in me and gave me time to get attenuated. I even took my wife, son and daughter and got them attenuated...

          On Investing and Money Growth :-  I love making money, well who doesn't. I have had a good experience of losing a lot of money while making money and I finally concluded the best way to grow money. I started with Mutual Funds, learnt Derivatives, where I went aggressively. I would feel very happy when I made fast profits and enter the markets next moment to lose what I have earned. I would again enter to regain my losses. Profit to Loss was 1:2. i.e if profit once, it was loss twice.           However, I found that if at all one has to get into derivatives, it should be against a market lot of shares. Let's assume I want to get into derivatives of Titan Company, where the market lot is 1000. I would first buy 1000 shares of Titan in my portfolio. I would then buy a put, if there is a risk of a fall.  Second strategy is while holding shares of Titan, I will sell a call of titan at near value, i.e. in case I feel mar...

Healing:- In my childhood I wanted to become a Doctor as I had an inclination for healing fellow beings. I some how got selected for Air force and gave up my desire. However I kept my desire alive. I therefore added Homeopathy to my hobby. When posted to remote locations, I had given homeopathic medicines in prevention of malaria and in viral fevers; I found them to be quite effective. I also learnt Reiki and got myself attenuated. I found both practices very effective on friends and family members. Whatever be the cause of Reiki healing, one thing is for sure, the mind power, so called faith can achieve wonders. That is what the Reiki healing is all about, as I see it. I have combined Homeopathy healing with Reiki and have achieved great results. Besides these I don't hesitate using home made remedies, having no side effects. I feel that in very acute cases one must visit a Doctor, but in cases where symptomatic treatment can be given and in diseas...

Take Life Lightly:- I like to take things lightly in life, when it comes to day to day activities. People, at times, are found to be too serious, in day to day activities. Specially at young age, when one is on to making a career. People are tensed when small difficulty comes their way. I will opine that even in times of deep problem, one must know it isn't going to be permanently there. Ups and downs are part of life. Good reply. 👍 Teacher : “Can you tell the name of 2 great Kings who have brought happiness & peace into people's lives ?” Student : “Smo-king & Drin-king ” !!! Teacher Fainted ! One should get access to good humour during his routine to keep relaxed. Some people are in the habit of playing games in talking double meaning dialogs or being sarcastic. Just don't respond and don't get into confrontation, to make life relaxed. I had a friend, who immediately understood sarcasm and responded vehemently. I asked him the reason. He replie...

Hi, I love to share my daily routine. For quite some time in life, almost till I was 50 years of age, I had no set routine. Time I got up was any where from 6 AM to 7 AM. I use to just get ready to attend office starting 7.30 AM. Over a period of time, I decided to have a healthy Routine. I  get up at 0400 hrs. I drink 2 glasses of water and do yoga exercises for 1 hr. Followed by pranayam, done for 20 minutes by Ramdevji. I then take a glass of Luke warm water to which I add two table spoon of Aloe Vira juice, 2 table spoons of Amla juice and a tablespoon of honey. I do Cycling for 20 minutes. I then go for a walk with my wife, for 1 hour. We walk and talk sweet n sour, but it keeps our circulation active. After all at this age of senior citizen, walking is the most convenient exercise. I come back, have tea, then do ablutions. My day starts after breakfast at 0900h. I read a lot. I start with news paper. Then I start a book and read for some times. I am on some small course ...
