“A” to “Z” of Stress Management

Note : Its not written by me. I just got it from my old archives. Liked to share the same.

• Always take time for yourself, at least 30 minutes per day.
• Be aware of your own stress meter, know when to step back and cool down.
• Concentrate on controlling your own situation, without controlling everybody else.
• Daily exercise will burn off the stress chemicals.
• Eat lots of fresh fruit, veggies, bread and water, give your body the best for it to perform at its best.
• Forgive others, don’t hold grudges and be tolerant not everyone is as capable as you.
• Gain perspective on things, how important is the issue.
• Hugs, kisses and laughter. Have fun and don’t be afraid to share your feelings with others.
• Identify stressors and plan to deal with them better next time.
• Judge your own performance realistically, don’t set goals out of your own reach.
• Keep a positive attitude, your outlook will influence outcomes and the way others treat you.
• Limit alcohol, drugs and other stimulants. They affect your perception and behaviour.
• Manage money well, seek advice and save at least 10 per cent of what you earn.
• No is a word you need to learn to use without feeling guilty.
• Outdoor activities by yourself or with friends and family can be a great way to relax.
• Play your favourite music rather than watching television.
• Quit smoking. It is stressing your body daily, not to mention killing you too.
• Relationships. Nurture and enjoy them, learn to listen more and talk less.
• Sleep well. With a firm mattress and a supportive pillow, don’t overheat yourself and allow plenty of ventilation.
• Treat yourself once a week with a massage, dinner out, the movies. Moderation is the key.
• Understand things from person’s point of view.
• Verify information before exploding, from the source.
• Worry less. It really does not get things completed better or quicker.
• Xpress. Make a regular retreat to your favourite space, make holidays part of your yearly plan and budget.
• Yearly goal setting. Plan what you want to achieve based on your priorities in your career, relationships, etc.
• Zest for life. Each day is a gift, smile and be thankful that you are a part of the bigger picture.

Happy Stress Free Life.

पुष्प की अभिलाषा – Poem by Makhanlal Ji Chaturvedi

I can not forget my old days when I liked the HINDI language paper in 9-12th class.

Below poem is written by Respected Sh. Makhanlal ji Chatuvedi Ji.
Today I got these few lines. Awesome lines.

:: पुष्प की अभिलाषा ::

चाह नहीं मैं सुरबाला के, गहनों में गूँथा जाऊँ ||

चाह नहीं, प्रेमी-माला में, बिंध प्यारी को ललचाऊँ ||

चाह नहीं, सम्राटों के शव, पर हे हरि, डाला जाऊँ ||

चाह नहीं, देवों के सिर पर, चढ़ूँ भाग्य पर इठलाऊँ ||

मुझे तोड़ लेना वनमाली, उस पथ पर देना तुम फेंक ||

मातृभूमि पर शीश चढ़ाने, जिस पर जावें वीर अनेक ।।

Happy Poem.

2012 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

19,000 people fit into the new Barclays Center to see Jay-Z perform. This blog was viewed about 130,000 times in 2012. If it were a concert at the Barclays Center, it would take about 7 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Shri Daba Hanuman Ji Temple, Sirohi

This is Daba Hanuman Ji Mandir outside Sirohi City.
Very lonely and very peaceful temple.

My father took me to this place when I was in 6th class. I have very beautiful memories for this temple.

My father told me that this is called as DABA HANUMAN JI because the priest was worshiping the god from left hand. In Sirohi marwadi language left is called as DABA.

So the name has “Daba Hanuman Ji ka Mandir”.

One of my favourite temple in Sirohi. I try to visit every time.

Jai Shree Ram.

Happy Hanuman Ji.

Setup SSH alias

This is easy tip. But I never knew in so many years.

Tip : How to open remote shell without typing the full server and user detail. Its like SSH alias.

Open the ssh folder.

cd /home/ganu/.ssh/
touch config
vi config

Then add the following lines in the config file

Host host1
  User=ganu
  Hostname=some.server.com
Host host2
  User=user2
  Hostname=some.host.server.com

Then save this file and just type

ssh host1

It will ask for password. And you are done.

Happy Bash.

Sukhharta Dukhharta Hindi Meaning

Ganapatai Bappa Morya..

This year I chanted this aarti many times and this is in marathi. I learned it but I never knew the meaning of this aarti.
So I found the meaning of this aarti and edited it as per learning and observation.

Please suggest if any changes are required.

सुखकर्ता दुखहर्ता वार्ता विघ्नाची । नुरवी पुरवी प्रेम कृपा जयाची ।।
सार्वांगी सुन्दर उटि शेंदुराची । कंठी झळके माळ मुक्ताफळांची ||
जयदेव जयदेव जय मंगलमूर्ति । दर्शनमात्रे मनकामना पूर्ति ।। 1 ।।

भगवान् जो हमे सुख देते है और दुखो को दूर करते है. सभी मुश्किलों से मुक्त करते है. जो आशीर्वाद के रूप मैं हर जगह अपना प्यार फैलाते है. ||
जिनके शारीर पर सुन्दर लाल-नारंगी रंग है. और गले मैं अति-सुन्दर मोतियों ( मुक्ताफल ) की मारा पहनी हुई है. ||
भगवान् की इस मंगल मूर्ति से प्रार्थना करो. भगवान् के दर्शन मात्र से ही हमारी सारी इच्छाओ की पूर्ति हो जायेगी. ||१||

रत्नखचित फरा तुज गौरी कुमरा । चंदनाची उटि कुंकुमकेशरा ।।
हीरेजडित मुगुट शोभतो बरा । रुनझुनती नूपुरे चरनी घागरिया ।|
जयदेव जयदेव जय मंगलमूर्ति । दर्शनमात्रे मनकामना पूर्ति ।। 2 ।।

हे गौरी पुत्र, ये रत्नों से जडित मुकुट आपके लिए है, आपके शारीर पर चन्दन का लेप लगा हुआ है और मस्तक भाल पर पर लाल रंग का तिलक लगा हुआ है. ||
हीरो से जडित सुन्दर सा मुकुट है और आपके आपके चरणों के पास मैं पायल की ध्वनि बहुत अच्छी लग रही है. ||
भगवान् की इस मंगल मूर्ति से प्रार्थना करो. भगवान् के दर्शन मात्र से ही हमारी सारी इच्छाओ की पूर्ति हो जायेगी. || २ ||

लम्बोदर पिताम्बर फणिवर बंधना । सरळ तोंड वक्रतुंड त्रिनयना ।।
दास रामाचा वाट पाहे सदना । संकटी पावावे, निर्वाणी रक्षावे सुरवरवंदना ।।
जयदेव जयदेव जय मंगलमूर्ति ।। दर्शनमात्रे मनकामना पूर्ति ।। ३ ।।

भगवान् आपका बड़ा पेट है और आपने पीली धोती पहनी हुई है. आपके सरल और मुड़ी हुई सूंड है और आपके तीन आँखे है.
लेखक रामदास कहते है की मैं आपकी साधना मैं ये लिख रहा हु, मुश्किल के समय मैं सदेव हमारी रक्षा और सहायता करना.
भगवान् की इस मंगल मूर्ति से प्रार्थना करो. भगवान् के दर्शन मात्र से ही हमारी सारी इच्छाओ की पूर्ति हो जायेगी. || ३ ||

Happy Ganapati.
