BE POSITIVE...
there are solutions to all problems which are understood in depth....
God Bless...

Wishing you...

I wish all my students,irrespective of their being good or bad students, the very best of luck for the coming exams...

pl. get stuck up to your books and study materials all the time till the exams are over...

'No waste of time' should be the only principle of doing well in the exams....

God bless...

Innovative Ideas for the decade...

I am seriously thinking on a newest topic ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION as coined by me...
By observing the state of affairs in the education systems, especially at the college level, I have come to a conclusion that the system is seriously ill and bed-ridden for a long time...The students hardly have any respect for education and educators...Let us try to find out the reasons... Let us try to evolve new systems to prevent the system from being extinct...

God bless

My thoughts of the day...series...to continue

DO IT NOW(DIN) is the best principle for managing the daily targets/performance, I now realize...

Managing time for professional job,family,and selected friends in a day holds the secret key to personal happiness and peace...

If I am honest, I have nothing to be afraid of...
It is better to be outspoken with sweetness to avoid all kinds of troubles in daily life....

Instead of changing the world, we should change ourselves for the better....

A desire-free life is the ultimate achievement of a human life, I realize...

My thoughts of the day...series...to continue

The whole problem of human existence lies in 'to work or not to work'

'Without any work or with little efforts , people want to achieve anything in life' can be said to be the most dreaded disease of human lives....

Happiness lies in the minds and hearts of all people who devote most of their times in meaning works for self, family and society....

All troubles start from 'dadagiri' based subtle techniques of avoiding the efforts on one's own part...
All kinds of dominating attitudes originate from the inner desire to live as a 'parasite' to the innocent and simple beings....

All exploitation will end when everyone will be made to work with one's own hands to earn a living...like-minded people should come together to fight against all kinds of PARASITES living in the human society....

God bless...

My thoughts of the day...series...to continue

In this pleasure-and-money-hungry world, we hardly find a good friend...
Can I try to find ways for myself for becoming as selfless as possible ?
I am trying to live with minimum physical resources...

I am only forced by circumstances sometimes, but living alone with enormous mental resources and creativity gives me some relief...

Alongwith teaching and training, I am also trying to innovate in creative and technical writings...

The best way to save time is being choosy about interacting with people...Most of idle the interactions can be avoided with a smiling face whenever needed...

My thoughts of the day...series...to continue

SM says for the self to note that:

"Attention to finer details in professional life is the real key to high level of performance and prosperity"

Good manners have real advantage in social life...

Everyone does not know the art of Bold and courageous living ....

To criticise and to gossip are easier ways to go astray...Action is the ultimate word for a happier material life....

Regularity and consistency in our duties can make us both successful and happy...

A dishonest and corrupt fellow can never do any good to either himself or herself, as he or she is a real burden on the society....

Without physical fitness, one can never lead a happy life...

The key to perpetual happiness lies in unconditional devotion towards God and His Omnipotence...

Continuity in trying to improve the self is the secret of professional and personal progress...

God bless...

I am pained at the state of affairs in human lifestyles...

The questions that ask myself while interacting with human beings:
Are you the friend of such people who bother least about honesty, integrity, human values....

Telling stark lies all the time for self-interest???
Accumulating money and wealth by dishonest means for your selfish motives???
Telling lies for monetary gains???
Cheating people being your hobby and pastime???

A news...

My book 'Values & Ethics in Profession' is getting published by 15th Nov,2010(tentatively).

There is always a best way to live life full...

I try to live only 24h a day by absorbing many of my physical incapacities. I am basically a sick type of man who continually struggles against common illnesses. Still , I overcome the difficulties by taking the path of Yoga(which binds my mind and body to God). I feel the existence God-particles in everything in existence.
I devise my days in this way:

1. I try to live in the present...Futurologists are mostly useless people!!!
2.Live well for today by working hard to your satisfaction, forgetting tomorrow's imaginary worries
3. forgetting the past,except learning lessons
4.Never thinking of doing harm to others
5. Avoiding so called friends who are materially ambitious in any manner
6.Every day is my newest birthday, I feel...
7.I assume that I may die today. How does it matter , as I am a deathless soul who never dies...
8. I have dream to live as a Noble Atom of the periodic table, each day , each moment...

These 8-poins(like 8-electrons in the outermost shell) constitute the basic philosophy of living life like a true HAVE-NOT.

I HAVE NOTHING...
I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING...
I DO NOT WANT TO BECOME SOMEONE GREAT...
My greatness lies in living for others, especially for my familiy and my students...

God bless...

It is difficult to be a good teacher...

A teacher should continuously be on the path improvements.
He/she has to put a lot of efforts on this aspects of life.

A teacher must have great patience...
A teacher must be able to control his senses...
A teacher must sympathetic to the needs of the students...
A teacher must go on learning throughout his/her life...
A teacher must devote some time for research activities...
A teacher must have an unprejudiced/unbiased views of life...

A teacher should be able to act as the role-model for the students...
This last quality is the biggest challenge of a teacher's life...
One has to reach a level of academic and leadership excellence for emerging as a role-model...
Hence a lot of hard work is needed....

One must be prepared for a lot of hard work to be an excellence teacher ...

Fighting the inner devils is most important

The inner devils such as lust,anger,infatuation,ego, and jealousy must be fought with for leading a life of inner peace and tranquility.

It is really difficult to control the senses and their indomitable urge to get satisfied. We only learn to control these, only after passing through fire of sufferings resulting from our wrong actions.

We need to suffer pain and agony to come out of the messes created by the wrong actions on our part.

Without suffering, we can not be 'pure', I believe.
For controlling the senses, we should adopt the spiritual path of life, where the enchanting of the Holy Names keeps our minds engaged, and we get lesser time to engage our senses to the path of fruitless , meaningless searches for transitory pleasures and occupations

We can nullify the actions of our senses by either continuous enchanting of Divine Names or by by getting involved in continuous actions that do some 'good' to the society.

The second option is better in the sense that some results of our actions could also be enjoyed with the blessings of God.

God bless...

How to remain cool all the time ?

The best way is keep ourselves in some creative work which would be of some benefit to some people in our lives or otherwise. The attitude of sacrificing the results of our constant actions to God is the only means of fighting depression and frustration arising out mental pressures of performing better and better.

The best way to destroys our worries is that we should take up ONE IDEA AND ONE JOB AT A TIME for all our actions in daily life and we must know HOW TO FINISH A JOB AND STOP WORRYING ABOUT IT for ever.

NON-PERFORMANCE AND WASTEFUL, UNPRODUCTIVE THINKING ARE THE ROOT CAUSES OF PRESENT SYSTEM OF LIVING.

RELAX...RELAX... AND RELAX..

PERFORM AND PERFORM...

Apply DO IT NOW in daily life...

Be Happy....

God bless....

The oasis of happiness : my own way

The happiness lies in acting against my own weaknesses and winning over such pestering bad habits of mine. All the sources of my happiness lies within my self...I try to remind myself constantly.

I never try to find happiness outside my body and mind...
The real pleasure is the constant meditation on the formless self and its infinite variety of perceptual ecatasy. Everything is in me. I am not dependent on anyone or anything for my happiness. I never search for it, as I find it every moment in my body and mind...

I find ecstatic pleasure in thinking myself as a child of God, as a servant of God...A God-dependent life is the best thing in existence, as human being only limited control and knowledge of the true Self...Without the unconditional compassion of God, none can really achieve a life of true happiness and peace, as God only produces the results of all our earthly actions...

God bless...

All sources of unhappiness lies in 'unwillingness to work'

Most of us expect that others will do the job...And why should I do it ? Everybody wants to managers and leaders...There are only good and dry lectures about 'doing', instead of doing the jobs with one's own hand...There are real good talkers, but few doers in the real life situations...

Doing things is always difficult...saying is quite easy...

All quarrels start when one has to do the job oneself...

We have little respect for work...we have enough for the super lecturers and motivators...

As we have enough excuses for not doing work, silent troubles begin in the form of cold mental war between the individuals...

In every situation, troubles start when assigned jobs/responsibilities are not carried out in a planned,systematic and organized manner by someone/some group...

Every body seems to running after quick name,fame,wealth,money ,power,pleasure etc. without doing much work or exertion...There lies the process of systematic and organized ways of bluffing and cheating, money laundering, and many such social vices...

The simple cause : UNWILLING TO WORK AND DESIRES FOR A SHARP RISE IN NAME-FAME-WELATH-MONEY-POWER-PLEASURE LADDER WITHOUT ANY REAL PHYSICAL WORK....

GOD BLESS

Is there any hope of improving things ?

I have been a keen observer of student-behaviors for about 16 years. Most of the students lack integrity in the sense that the qualities like punctuality,sincerity,dedication,truthfulness and respect for others have almost taken a back seat...

Many of the minds are distracted, and scattered.
But there can be improvements in behavioral patterns, only we ,the seniors, can become true leaders by our exemplary positive,systematic and tough actions on our part....

God bless

Sharing my newer thoughts...

Yesterday's FRESHERS' WELCOME function at GNIT-KOLKATA was a beautiful experience for me, where Dr.AKB made a fantastic ppt-presentation about the profile of the college. The most charming part was the series of QUOTATIONS he cited during the entire lecture session.

The quotation from SWAMI VIVEKANANDA'S works on SUCCESS was befitting and timely for the occasion.

The idea behind being successful and happy lies in BEING A GOOD HUMAN BEING FIRST AND WORKING TOWARDS THE WELFARE OF OTHERS.

Everything else will be taken care of by God...

In this regard I should point out that we must regularly assess our ATTITUDES towards life and its multi-faceted affairs...

The real burden...

The real burden of life is wasteful thinking, imaginary fears, and fictitious worries...


God bless...

Awakening is also a continuous process...

Self-awakening can only make ourselves happy, as we go on rediscovering our inner nature and true characters as an special element of this Grand Creations of God.

As we are immersed in the ocean of illusions and untruths, we hardly can derive the true pleasure, ecstasy,happiness and peace. The transitory nature of the pleasure-seeking motives are then clearly understood, and we finally realize the nothingness of the materialism. Materialism is all right for fulfillment of basic needs. But our desires are limitless...To satisfy these passions for pleasures, we cross our limits and find our lives in miserable frustation, and agony; as this material world can never take us to the abode of perpetual happiness...

Perpetual happiness comes free with the blessings of God...

When God is compassionate on us as His true devotees, we automatically experience mracles in life...
Then only, we can swim freely in the infinite ocean of the Supreme Consciousness, attaining a blissful state of pleasure and happiness...

Let us say our daily prayers for as long as possible...

Let us lead a God-dependent life...

Let us have faith...as faith is what we actually are...
Beyond all debates and argumentation lie our faiths...
Let us have faith in ourselves, as we are the children of God who is omniscient,omnipotent, and omnipresent...
God bless...

Continuous hard work holds the key to a happier life...

It is best to LIVE IN THE PRESENT, by remaining engaged in meaningful actions, as concentrated work is the way to forget the bitter past and to erase the anxiety for the unknown future...
Bitter Past mostly damages the cheerfulness of the present, and the worries of the unchartered future is a sheer waste of time...

God bless...

CISS-art of living of SISIR M.

CREATIVITY,
INNOVATION,
SELFLESSNESS

&
SPIRITUAL(CISS)

all combined is the oxygen of a material life. ...
If we can have a good mix of these virtues in our daily lives, we shall definitely feel happier
...
We can easily escape from the hard facts of life, that torments us for meaningless and transitory enjoyments of mundane life...
This is very very difficult to practice in life...But this is not impossible...
Hence it's better to keep on trying for a meaningful life...
God bless...

Silence is the most powerful yoga...

Maintaining inner and outer silence will enhance the process of self-realization...It is always better to speak as less as possible in any situation, as more words culminates into more troubles. The art of communication lies in its three basic principles:

1. accuracy
2. brevity
3.clarity

(ABC)

It is always better to listen to others to understand the needs, aspirations and motives of the other sides, as the root of all problems lies in the conflicts of self-interests of various individuals and groups.

The best way to express oneself is by speaking with enough outspokenness mixed with sweetness.

But one needs to be strong and tough in his or her capacity , as the situation gets tougher. A physically and mentally tough person is only allowed to live with honesty and peace, as a weak person is seen only as the symbol of mindless exploitation by the strong...

Greed and jealousy are the main paths leading to hell

The real peace of mind comes to those who have little or no desires in life. But we observe just the opposite in practice. The only way to fight greed and jealousy of others is being tough from day one. We should not have greed of any kind, and we should not allow others to be bold enough to exploit us for fulfilling their greed. Hence the art of living should be based upon least amount of material consumption so as to curtail our consumerist needs by over 50%, and then only could we feel relaxed in body and mind. The feeling of relaxation , happiness and mental peace can be achieved only by reducing our material needs which is artificially generated by the greedy business houses for extreme consumerist publicity about nonsensical and non-essential and unnecessary accessories of living a meaningful life...

The way to a truly meaningful and happy life is.....

maintenance of simplicity
,
humility,

worshipping knowledge,

worshipping our duties and responsibilities,

and finally

having unconditional devotion towards serving God...

God bless...

Self-improvement is a continuous process...

It may take almost a lifetime to evolve as a Balanced and Happy personality by adopting the following qualities:
P: Punctuality
S:Sincerity
D: Dedication

i.e. PSD is the self-assigned qualification of a genuinely good human being, he or she may not have a PhD...In practice PSD is much superior to PhD...as real-time need of the society is the dedicated service of a punctual and sincere citizen...

ABC of communication skills

A: Accuracy
B: Brevity
C: Clarity

cleansing the mind and being happy...

Only practical way of being happy is by complete cleansing of the mind, and the same can only be implemented by working hard as selflessly as possible.


God Bless...

Some observations about Today's students

1. they are highly intelligent, but they rarely exert themselves to excel in anything;
2. they are very casual in approach,
3.they hardly pay attention to the finer details of their duties,
4. their lives are more fun-oriented,
5. instant fun is the fundamentally accepted nature of their lifestyles,
6. they have the general attitude of getting most by investing least of labour and hardwork

otherwise,
they are basically honest,
they are less harmful to fellow-beings,
and
they believe in 'live and let live' principles,
they are less crooked and less complicated with respect to the older generations


God bless all...

self-management techniques

A GLIMPSE OF SUSTAINABLE SELF-MANAGEMENT
Sisir Mazumder, Faculty(EE)-GNIT-Kolkata
The world is passing through a number of transitions and transformations , misconceived ideas and ideals, distorted values, and perversions in the ethical arena of life, in almost all spheres of human life, mainly in the social, political , economic and educational sectors. In these turbulent years of mindless killings, heinous crimes , financial and other corruptions, and scams and scandals, I, as a common man, would like to express a few viewpoints only to attract the attention of our younger minds to ‘the art of living life with happiness ‘ that would be simply perpetual , if honest attempts could be made.
I believe in the great words of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa that in every living entity lies the existence of the Almighty. However, the level of consciousness or realization of the purity of the Self in each being varies according to the cumulative effect of our past and present actions. That’s what is life, as it takes all to make a world.
Life as a physical existence is pure, blissful and indestructible. It has no beginning, and no end. Our sensory perceptions through the impact of sights and sounds make life so complex and troublesome. If we are not happy at this moment, we ourselves are responsible for that state of mind. It is the lack of realization ,of the Ultimate Reality , which causes feel unhappy.
At the root of all societal ills lies the insatiable thirst for pleasure of one kind or the other. The pleasures could be of infinite variety and magnitude. Pleasure could be in the deriving ego-satisfaction, recognition, sensual enjoyments, money, wealth, name, fame, power of using coercion etc.etc. The complexity of such pleasure-seeking life and its painful consequences could be dissolved and finished in a moment by enlightening our minds with true knowledge, a sense of renunciation and unflinching devotion to the Absolute Truth or God.
But here the predominant factor of human life will be FAITH and FAITH only. Faith holds the key to a happier life. But faith comes only through a series of experiences , feelings, meditative and intuitive wisdom. Faith, knowledge, devotion, duty, selflessness, compassion, humility, simplicity and honesty(truthfulness in words, deeds and timeliness) are the NINE PILLARS OF SELF-MANAGEMENT, which could make our lives a lot happier, a lot loftier and a great fun of unfolding ourselves in the ocean of self-realization, self-management and meaningful human networking.

Managing life well...how?

Whenever we find that we are much worried, the only cure is switching off of the mind or spending time with some of the chosen friends and well-wishers. As it is difficult to find good friends nowadays, the 1st method is the best one, as it only needs individual effort.
How to switch off the mind and go into deep meditation and get relaxed?
Say 'no' to each and every thought that comes to your mind, constantly and cleanse your mind of the external and internal thought-wave generators of any kind.

Negate the world and worldly thoughts...

You know that Nothing really exists except God...
God's blessings only can make us happy and peaceful.
When driven by desires, ambitions, greed for money and pleasure, and power, we land with up infinite no. of problems resulting into mental riot,worries,fear ....All these happen due to fuelling up of the beastly desires for excessive amount of money, greed for power of controlling the fate of others, and basic biological pleasures.

The best way to lead a happy life lies in maintaining honesty,integrity,fearlessness, and self-confidence about one's actions, one's duties and responsibilities.

The greatest problem of modern life is so called speed-living, and mindless carbon-emission for satisfying the beastly desires of some few people.

The slower the life, the happier the existence.

Secrets of creative Living

1. Spiritual Meditation is the only , only and the only way to peace, health and happiness for ever...if someone does not have FAITH, matter stops there immediately

2. FAITH is the foundation of my personal religion and philosophy

3. FAITH is a great healer.

4. HONESTY brings sustained peace of mind.

5. GREED breeds grief and grief only.

6. It is always better to be choosy about people, if one is not a self-realized person.

7. The best way of cleansing the mind is constant prayer to the Almighty.

8. The gist of good living is SELFLESSNESS in all actions, as mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita.

9. It is best to be outspoken and straight-forward with a bit of sweetness.

Try to follow books on Basic Electrical Engg. By
1. Nath & Chakraborty
2. Mittle and Mittal
3. Ashfaq Hussain

after a long time..

after a long long gap, I find it quite interesting to start writing ...

This is all about my ideas of continuous self-development. I started discovering some newer ideas about self-enhancement:

1. daily prayers is a must for me to remind myself of the infinite compassion of God,
2. Everyday I am evolving as a new person through my striving towards COMPLETE SURRENDER TO GOD,
3. I now am focussed on 'do it now' principle, otherwise PROCRASTINATION kills all prospects to doing things at all,
.....

the safest way of living happily...

to live without much expectations from anyone in life, from family/society,
to work with pleasure , mostly for the benefits of others,
never to run after name and fame,
to strong and courageous with the dangerously bad elements in the society,
fear is another of death,
overcoming fear through self-purification and self-realization is one of the highest achievements in happier living...
never to show off,
to devote much time in work with pleasure,
to be compassionate to all, secretly and silently...
to keep fighting for improving life of the self and that of others...
God Bless...

Causes behind social turmoil...

1. lack of true knowledge and common sense
2.excessive desire for pleasure.money, and power(PMP) based on some single vice of material existence: EGO
3.EVERBODY WANTS TO CREATE HISTORY AND BE IMMORTAL
4.people have become more greedy, selfish, consumerist, and cruel, as they want everything almost instantly
5.corruption at places of power and governance...

God bless...

Looking at life at newer ways...

After about 20 years of professional, I have rediscovered a few principles that could the keys to a perpetually happy life:

personal qualities such as

1. flexibility
2.dynamism to update continuously through gaining true knowledge
3. lifelong openness to learning
4.fearlessness in fighting against untruth and injustice
5.freedom of thinking, doing and leading a balanced life....

Newer ideas

I will soon be writing on:

1. how to get the job you want

and

2. powerful self-management thoughts and actions for all

and

3. how to fight monotony and boredom
