In search for WhoAmI - introspection and self reflection...


যে রাতে মোর দুয়ারগুলি ভাঙল ঝড়ে জানি নাই তো তুমি এলে আমার ঘরে ॥ সব যে হয়ে গেল কালো, নিবে গেল দীপের আলো, আকাশ-পানে হাত বাড়ালেম কাহার তরে?। অন্ধকারে রইনু পড়ে স্বপন মানি। ঝড় যে তোমার জয়ধ্বজা তাই কি জানি! সকালবেলা চেয়ে দেখি, দাঁড়িয়ে আছ তুমি এ কি, ঘর-ভরা মোর শূন্যতারই বুকের 'পরে ॥

English Translation


The night when the tempest ravaged my doors – I didn’t know you had come to my abode. The world went black, off went the lamp, Stretched my uncertain hands skyward. I remain tentative in the dark, all dream alike, The tempest was your ensign – I knew not. Surprised, I find you standing in the dawn Up on the void that had choked my abode.

My search for #WhoAmI continues...

My journey of knowing #WhoAmI continues...

Knowing thyself is knowing God...

Everybody in this Universe is sent with a specific purpose - but the irony is that nobody will be able to tell you - what is your purpose. It has to be discovered through various ways by yourself.

Self reflection and introspection is the need of the hour in this so-called modern busy society...

Everybody is running behind something.

But what is that something?

Nobody knows.

Slowing down in the journey of life is important. Once the muddy water settles down - you will be able to see your reflection absolutely clearly.

So.... here we go...

Enjoy my morning vibe today.


Lyrics:


মহারাজ, একি সাজে এলে হৃদয়পুরমাঝে!
  চরণতলে কোটি শশী সূর্য মরে লাজে ॥
গর্ব সব টুটিয়া   মূর্ছি পড়ে লুটিয়া,
সকল মম দেহ মন বীণাসম বাজে ॥
  একি পুলকবেদনা বহিছে মধুবায়ে!
  কাননে যত পুষ্প ছিল মিলিল তব পায়ে।
          পলক নাহি নয়নে,  হেরি না কিছু ভুবনে--
          নিরখি শুধু অন্তরে সুন্দর বিরাজে ॥


English Translation...


O lord, you step in to my heart with such splendor!
Million moons adorn your holy feet, sun falls pale, such is your glory
As my ego and pride crumbles to the ground to make way for you,
My mind, body and soul pulsates like the Veena string
The spring breeze brings with it such ecstasy,
My newly enlightened mind blossoms at your feet
As I observe your grace within me,
I turn blind to the worldly pleasures.

Will there really be fire during Modi 3.0 ? Why People Mellow Down with Age...

As the billions of Hindus of Bharat are eagerly waiting for the expected fire in Modi 3.0, I am not sure about will there really be fire?

For example - take the case of rewriting the History of Bharat - the minister is taking just a few baby steps and not really shaking it up to clean the swamp.

The Hindus of Bharat has already lost 10 precious years in the name of Sabka saath sabka vikash and promoting the falsehood of Mahatma Gandhi for almost everything...

This time it will be even colder for Hindus...

I hope the fire in the belly of Govt. of Bharat starts burning bright - we need a dhamaka - not just dilly dallying on Major issues of Hindu society...

A wise leader knows when to keep the moun brata and when to perform tandava dance...

COME ON .... PM sir...

We are all waiting...

Enjoy the song = the tandava mantra...

Why People Mellow Down with Age...

As people age, it is common to see a decrease in high-intensity emotions and an increase in emotional regulation and stability. Several psychological, biological, and social factors contribute to this phenomenon. Here’s an overview of why people tend to mellow down with age:

Psychological Factors

  1. Emotional Regulation: Older adults often develop better emotional regulation skills. They learn to manage their emotions more effectively, which leads to a calmer demeanor. Research indicates that with age, individuals become more adept at avoiding or reducing negative emotional experiences and increasing positive ones .

  2. Shift in Priorities: As people age, their priorities often shift from ambition and competition to relationships and personal satisfaction. This shift can lead to less stress and more contentment, contributing to a mellower disposition.

  3. Perspective and Experience: With age comes experience and perspective. Older adults have typically faced and overcome various challenges, which helps them develop a more balanced and less reactive approach to life's ups and downs.

Biological Factors

  1. Brain Changes: Aging brings about changes in the brain that can affect emotion and behavior. For example, the amygdala, which is involved in emotional responses, shows decreased reactivity to negative stimuli in older adults compared to younger adults .

  2. Hormonal Changes: Hormonal changes, such as reductions in stress-related hormones like cortisol, can also play a role in mellowing with age. These changes can reduce anxiety and stress levels, contributing to a calmer demeanor.

Social Factors

  1. Social Roles and Support: As people age, their social roles and the support they receive from family and friends can contribute to emotional well-being. Strong social networks and supportive relationships can provide a buffer against stress and promote a more relaxed attitude.

  2. Life Satisfaction: Many older adults report higher life satisfaction and well-being compared to younger individuals. This increased satisfaction can result from achieving personal goals, financial stability, and the ability to focus on meaningful activities and relationships .

Conclusion

The mellowing effect observed in older adults is a result of complex interactions between psychological growth, biological changes, and social factors. This natural progression towards a more relaxed and balanced emotional state can lead to greater overall well-being and happiness in later life.

Are we heading towards Population Collapse - maybe ...

The following write up has been produced by ChatGPT...

#Wakeup ...

Recent research indicates a worrying trend: global sperm counts are falling. This decline has raised concerns about future fertility rates and potential implications for population stability.

Evidence of Decline

Studies have shown a significant decrease in sperm counts over the past several decades:

2017 Study: A comprehensive analysis published in 2017, which reviewed data from 1973 to 2011, found that sperm counts in men from North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand had dropped by more than 50% .

Recent Findings: Updated research continues to confirm this trend, suggesting the decline is ongoing and not limited to Western countries. A 2022 study published in the journal Human Reproduction Update showed that sperm counts globally have continued to decrease at an accelerating rate .

Possible Causes

Several factors are believed to contribute to this decline:

  1. Environmental Toxins: Exposure to chemicals like endocrine disruptors, which are found in plastics, pesticides, and other products, has been linked to reduced sperm quality and count.
  2. Lifestyle Factors: Poor diet, obesity, smoking, stress, and lack of physical activity can negatively impact sperm health.
  3. Heat Exposure: Increased scrotal temperatures, due to factors such as tight clothing or prolonged sitting, can affect sperm production.

Implications for Population Growth

The decline in sperm counts raises concerns about potential impacts on fertility and population growth:

  1. Fertility Rates: Lower sperm counts could lead to increased infertility rates among men, complicating efforts for couples to conceive naturally.
  2. Population Decline: If fertility rates drop below replacement levels (the level needed for a population to replace itself), this could lead to population decline and aging populations, with significant social and economic consequences.

Broader Context

While declining sperm counts are a serious issue, it's important to consider them within the broader context of fertility and population dynamics:

  1. Women's Health: Female fertility issues also play a significant role in overall fertility rates. Addressing both male and female reproductive health is crucial.
  2. Societal Factors: Economic conditions, cultural norms, and government policies also influence birth rates. For instance, many developed countries are experiencing lower birth rates due to factors such as economic uncertainty and lifestyle choices.

Conclusion

The decline in sperm counts is a complex and multifaceted issue that could have significant implications for future fertility and population growth. Addressing this problem will require a comprehensive approach, including environmental regulation, public health initiatives, and lifestyle changes. Research and awareness are critical to mitigating the potential impacts on global populations.
