A NEW IN YOU

                 'A New in You'  is the wish extended by one to another mostly on the  turn of a New Year or on occasions therefor,  a person is  confronted with.  This manner of extension  of greetings or messages either form part of a custom developed over a period of time or they form part of encouraging statements to turn a new and better leaf in one's life-cycle..  As such, welcoming the occurrence of a new phenomenon is indeed a welcome one.                                                                                                                                          
                 As every year passes and a New Year dawns, true to the poetic saying 'Old Order changeth yielding place to new', all persons invariably resolve to make resolutions.  The resolutions so made are, indeed, intended to be accepted, adopted and adapted in the ensuing year and the extent to which it has been done so revolve around the mind set in which one was placed at the moment of execution of resolutions.  However, the rationale that prompted to make resolutions should not be forgotten especially when the resoliutions portend a degree of sustainability.                                                                          
                On specific occasions, other than the New Year, when resolutions are made  the nature oif the such resolutions would be intended to transform an existing state into a new better state.  For instance, a businessman may, to oversome the loss occasioning to him, resolve to commence a new venture and since that time his energy would be spent to attain a gainful state from the earlier state of  loss.  This is, but, a welcome change.                                                                                                                                  
                Whatever may the circumstances in which novations are made they are always intended to find a new in every person and hence this innate quality being  inherent in every person must be felt and understood and cultivated for sustained growth so that the resolutions made could be observed more in their observance.. 

READINESS TO ACCEPT THE PRESENT LOSS

                     In legal parlance the concept of 'Damages' play a significant role conveying the idea that a Civil Court of Law could only redress a wrong occasioned to a person by awarding damages to the person who suffered the loss at the instance of another.  Infact, besides Damages, other remedies are also available in special statutes applicable to the case.  However, the general remedy of Damages is generally resorted to , the rationale of it being that a wrong done to a person is to be off-set to the extent to which money could do and this remains to be a salutory principle.                                                                                                                        .                     ' Damages' belong to yte class of remedies in relation to a loss sustained by a person.  Loss may be a present loss or a loss occasioning in future.  The present loss points out an immediate or instant loss experienced while loss in future represents that loss which may occasion later.  The present loss, being experieced is to be faced and accepted with foresight instead of facing a greater degree of loss consequent to non-acceptance based on untenable and illogical conclusions.  Many disputes or differences would best be avoided or resolved if this approach to accept the present loss is adopted.  But, in practice, this attitude of preparedness and readiness to accept the present loss is not adopted with the required wisdom that it would be worth the bargain and  at the same time prevent the relationship becoming sour and strained further and  further.                                                                                                                                              
                        Non-acceptance of the present loss, which is visible and experienced right at the moment    . would only highlight the presence of egoism, as the term ego only signifies EJECTION OF GOOD OUT of the minds of a person on account of visualing a mirage - a non-existent one.  It is, therefore, fit and proper to accept what is visibly and instantly experienced rather than face a great amount of loss and suffer to a great degree later.  Even when Damages are awarded by a Court of Law, the principle of 'compensatory' outlook is only pursued and sometimes this outlook may not provide equivalent and satisfying result in the sense in which the sufferer may desire, since much water would have flowed down under the bridge by that time  Hence, readiness to accept the present loss may be developed as a quality to be pusued.

LIMITATIONS AND ACTIONS

                 All humans born in this world shape their life depending on the pedigree to which they belong,besides the environs to which they get exposed.  It is only in this manner every person goes through in his life cycle, from infant to old age.  During all these phases of life every person acquires many traits which speak about his character and identity.                                                                                                              
                    The birth and the life cycle of a person calls for actions from that person depending on age, stature, learnings,aptitude towards select activities and so on.  Although till the adulthood actions made in any mannner may be tolerated and accepted, the same treatment may not be meted out to the actions performed during adulthood. and thereafter.  The reason for this approach is that,  on becoming an adult,  a person is expected to understand the rationale of his actions.  Therefore, if any action performed  in the phase of the adulthood goes beyond the limits, the said action may be found wanting or excess in some respect or other.
                  Limits or limitations with referece to an action partake the nature of a restraint or condition or shortcoming.  Every person, in the course of performing an activity,  would be engulfed by or all of these facets stated.   Before embarking on an action every person should bear in mind that the various facets with their attendants would come into being not because he likes the same but operate in himself,  being born as an individual.  As such, every person while conceiving an idea,  should think of its limitations and the limitations set in himself and then only proceed to transalate them into action.  If this principle is not adhered to, the performance is bound to hurt the feelings of others, which should be avoided. It may be remembered by every person  that once liberty does not end where the other man's nose begins.  . .

PROPAGATION OF KNOWLEDGE

                  "Knowledge comes from all sides " says Rig Veda>  In general parlance,  knowledge refers to the ideas possessed by a person .  The ideas so possessed do not dawn overnight, but is only a result of acquisition of the same over a period of time.  Further, the ideas acquired must have been developed further depending on the extent to which a person has honed his skills from time to time.  It is everyone's desire to acquire knowledge on all fronts and to what extent he had exposure and succeded would depend on his efforts.                                                                                                                                                    
                 Acquisition of knowledge, though remain as one's desire, is always subjected to one's inquisitiveness towards a particular discipline of study or activity as no single person can claim to be a master in all trades, leave alone the fact that  it is also an impossibility.  Infact, in the matter of doing any act there exists on every person a desire which is inbuilt with limitations.  It is only due to this inherent feature various specialists/experts become available in various fields of activity                                                                
                   Acquisition of knowledge is, therefore not the monopoly of any single individual and hence all persons have a right to get educated and imbibe knowledge according to their aptitude.  But knowledge acquired by a person, though utilised for his benefit, is not to be expected to be kept to himself but intended to be spread and explained to others when situations warrant, as otherwise knowledge acquired becomes meaningless.  It is only this idea that has been conveyed by Saint Thiruvalluvar in his 650th couplet stating 'THOSE WHO ARE NOT CAPABLE OF EXPLAINING TO OTHERS WHAT THEY HAVE LEARNT ARE LIKE A CLUSTER OF FLOWERS WHICH, THOUGH FULLY BLOWN, HAVE NO FRAGRANCE."  Propagation of knowledge must, therefore, be adopted as a precept by a person possessing knowledge.                                          .                        . 

ADHERENCE TO DOCTRINNAIRE APPROACH

                    I have been initiated  to pen blogs by my son, who in his thirties, using his acumen and latest technology started his blog writing practice before me.  The impetus given by him was well received by me resulting in this 50th blog in a span of 10 months time.  I am sure that this practice set in me, thanks to my son, would enable me to contemplate further and further to roll out more blogs.in the days to come.        
               
                   Thanks to the stimulus received, I have expressed my musings and I look back with consternation how the thoughts conceived were able to be transalated into action.  One reason that compels me to keep pace with this momentum is that long established principles and practices, preached and practised by our elders, continue to hold sway even in these days when the world has shrunk into media box..                                                                                                                                                          
                 
                  Precepta and practices, relate to basic concepts and canons promulgated in relation to various disciplines of study and actions related thereto, has to be practised in view if its permanent values.  Such value added concepts become doctrines driving a person to think that it is best to adhere to those doctrines rather making a roving search for thoughts.  Any act done based on a doctrine set will not only hold good for that point of time but also for all future times, notwithstanding changes that may take place.  Even while doing research study on any subject a doctrinnaire approach is advocated as that approach will enable advanced research in the same study.  This doctrainnaire approach compared with Empirical research, stands on a higher permanent pedestal while Empirical Research would only last over a given period of time.  Infact Hindu scriptures or Bible or Quaran  convey only doctrines which have been conceived after deep deliberations holding good even till this day..  It would, therefore, fit and proper  to adhere to the precepts and practices evolved over a period of time and being made accessible at the click of the mouse.     

IMPEDIMENTS AND PROGESS

                    Right from dawn to dusk every man is encountered with various activities in relation to his style of living, his approaches towards the objective to be acheved and towards other persons whom he may come across and last but not least his mind set to carry out the chosen activities.  The activities that may be required to be carried out may range from doing a simple and easy job to complete a big and complex business deal.  Therefore, there will be variances in the activities of various persons depending on the nature of business or profession or avocation of one's choice.                                                                              
                    Performance of activities are intended to result in progress of the activities, much less to say completion of thesame, as it would be the wishful thinking of all prudent persons.  As no man desires to get an abortive result he would put in his head and heart in the activities performed by him.  This attitudinal approach is not only laudable but also a welcome one.                                                                              
                     The performer, although  may make good approaches with foresight it should not be forgotten by him that impediments partaking the nature of an obstruction or hindrance or obstacle or difficulty or barrier may be confronted by him which he might not have envisaged.  At this juncture, with the objective steadfastly held in mind, he should not lose hope, vigour and courage and instead drive unto himself a force of challenge to attain the objective, although in a belated manner.  This attitude is to be cultivated since at these times of  arisal of impediments a person would be tempted to leave the task unfinished.  This tendency should not be developed as it is not a good augury for progress, though in exceptional cases the project itself should be shelved.  Impediments are antithesis for progress and hence ingenuity and God strength are to be required to complete the performance of an activity.  

CONTROL OF SITUATIONS.

                   Situations, place wise or time wise, do arise as a result of interaction between any two or more persons or among group/s of persons to fulfiul an objective.  The authors for these situations are no others than the person/s or group/s and this act of interaction cannot be avoided if the given objective is to be fulfilled.  In other words, the authors referred here are but the architects of the situation/s and what they build constructively or otherwise would always depend on their outlook, consistency in approach made, a foresight atleast to a certain extent, an ardent desire to accomplish the objective and their intention to create sustsainable progress and development.  This aspect holds good for all kinds of actions in all kinds of relationships that my be endeavoured to be created.                                                                                        

                                                                                    
.                   Mere situations, though cannot be avoided, will not yield any result unless the said situations are controlled by the authors themselves.  Control, in this context, would refer to the dexterous approaches made, possession of attitudes, adoption of persuasive tactics with reasoning ability and bearing patience snd perseverance qualities by the authors.  Any approach made expressly or iompliedly should not either directly or indirectly hurt the feelings/s of other/s in a group as if such a kind of hurt is caused there would not exist the possibility to fulfil the objective.  Any amount of regrets made later in this regard will not bring back the desired result and much less to say it may even boomerang on the person/s who were responsible for causing the hurt                                                                                                                                                        
                                                                                                                                              
                 The subject that is treated here is only intended to drive home the point that control of situations lies only in the hands of authors to become winners or losers in the game.                                                                                                                                                                                                       .
