Just unbelievably impressive – “I want to tell you that you’re one of the 2 or 3 best inventors of the world right now” coming from a TED conference of global thinkers! Not only is this man intelligent, his wisdom is inspirational, he just wants to open source the whole thing, and wants it to be not just secluded in some lab but to reach the masses!

‘SixthSense’ is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with that information.

This is an interesting wildlife sanctuary story, where an elephant and a dog befriend each other. Its just amazing how much concern the elephant shows when the dog gets injured once. Also about how gently it acknowledges the dog’s presence.

“Just two living creatures who somehow managed to look past their immense differences. … If they could do it, what’s our excuse?”

Seeing news of so many people homeless due to floods is really touching, almost unimaginable like a nightmare. Yet in a way almost like some movie for me, one more program on TV…

Donating to a relief party is atleast a small first step to being truly connected. There is a clothes-collection drive in our apartment tomorrow. Hope any reader finds out and contributes about similar initiatives in their own neighborhood.

This flood is a cruel reminder, but there are more people homeless than just those people we see affected on TV…

House is not your home, House is more of a physical interpretation of your success.   House is more indication of your status, ego, fights and success. There is nothing wrong with it except it is not your Home!

“Home” is not a physical place in the outside world, but an inner quality of relaxation and acceptance.

but the irony of Man is that he spends his lifetime to build  a house for himself and his family but  it only takes a moment of awareness to come home

~ Leave your House! Come Home!

Reflecting on the above, in a way I am sort of homeless as well. How indifferent I am to the news, is directly proportional to how far I am from my own home! By coming home – not the physical home but true home of awareness and calm – when I establish myself in this home in myself, I will be more empowered to do something constructive for the physically homeless better!

I’ve often heard that relationships are like glass. Once broken, they can never be mended again…

I believe this is true only if our hearts are as brittle as glass! But thats certainly not the case! :P Some sound advice from the good doc. I really appreaciate the courage and integrity of the lady who asked the question to which he answered below.

Paradoxically, the surest route to forgiveness and trust is to not dwell on trying to forgive and trust. Heal your heart first, and then the forgiveness happens automatically. RT: @Deepak_Chopra: RT @mallikachopra Can you regain trust after a major betrayal? http://bit.ly/IjyF0

eckhart tolle’s talk

Particular relevant to many many many common everyday situations…

The video and audio seem to have gone out of sync. (But I remember having watched it properly the first time I saw ti around a year ago, seems its got corrupted later)

The ‘pain body’ he refers I relate it exactly to the ‘false center’ that this talk is about. I really appreciate the facial expressions of Eckhart in this talk that accompanies his brilliant elucidation…
