A lost AirAsia QZ8501 flight

A lost flight -AirAsia QZ8501

It is indeed a sad day when AirAsia's plane was discovered at the bottom of the ocean  carrying all its passengers to their death. The plane have been missing for two days despite in the GPS era where the flight is been tracked by radar. Anyway , it is better than MH370 which have been lost for months. At least , there is a closure for AirAsia QZ8501 flight from Surabaya.

I remembered I have travel this route via MH flight and most of time is above the sea. 

When the plane hit the turbulence , there is no play to land. The report showed that the plane could have stalled and the pilot make an emergency landing and it must have flip over because of the lack of power.
In this way, I'd it is successful, it could have saved some life.  However , it was not mend to be.

This is the third plane ,Malaysian aviation company have lost in this year and these happenings have caused a lot of anxiety and jittery. It will take a long time for people to forget these incidents.

To the deceased in this flight ,may your soul  rest in peace  and may this incident help to prevent a similar incident In the future.

10 things you must know before starting a cafe (ext)

10 things you must know b4 starting a cafe:

#1 THE OWNER HAS TO BE HANDS ON

Clearing tables. Checked. Washing dirty plates and cups. Checked. Serving tables. Checked. Dealing with difficult customers. Checked. Getting your hands full in the kitchen. Checked. Working a full 12-hour shift and on weekends. Checked.

Unless you are hiring someone to run the operations, you have to be responsible for everything in the cafe. Not only do you have to set an example for your staff, you have to present to make sure that everything is running smoothly and to troubleshoot immediately.

#2 A MOUNTAIN OF PAPERWORK AND ADMIN STUFF

From settling the payroll, to rostering the work schedule for your staff, to filing the accounts for the cafe, there are a lot of paperwork that you have to do. These are the boring back-end stuff that you do not see.

3 YOU HAVE TO DO ENOUGH RESEARCH ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT TO SELL

These days, consumers are very discerning and savvy; they know exactly what they want. In short, you can’t expect to serve mediocre food and drinks and get away with it.

Recipes don’t just appear out of nowhere. They are only possible with many trials in the kitchen. One of the common misconceptions about opening a cafe is that most people think it is more important to focus only on the design and interior.
4 DEALING WITH SUPPLIERS WILL BE YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE

Your supplies don’t just appear magically. Dealing with suppliers is a skill on its own. Sometimes, suppliers will leave you hanging by not showing up, and that is when you have to think on your feet and figure out how to react.

You risk incurring the wrath of your customers when you do not have enough ingredients, you risk bearing the increased food cost due to the shortage of ingredients, and all these will eat into your (already very thin) profit margin.

#5 YOU HAVE TO BE AT THE CAFE EVERY DAY

Running a cafe is not easy. Period. You have to be at the cafe every day and you will be working so hard that you would question yourself about the heavy commitment and if it would be all worth it.

  #6 YOU WON’T HAVE MUCH FREE TIME FOR YOURSELF. THERE IS NO ROOM FOR SELF DEVELOPMENT

Because you are working at the cafe practically every day, you don’t have much free time for yourself or your loved ones. That means no afternoon tea dates with your friends, no vacations, no free time for anything. When you have a rare day off, chances are you will be repaying your sleep debts. Or preparing for the next day of operations.

#7 IT IS DIFFICULT – OR ALMOST MISSION IMPOSSIBLE – TO HIRE GOOD STAFF

Being a chef or a server is not exactly glamourous. Neither does it pay well. Very few people want to work in the food & beverage industry and one of the main challenges of opening a cafe is always finding good staff.

Naturally, people come and go, and it is difficult to find – much less, retain – good staff. Most part-timers are not committed, so you can suddenly find yourself in a situation whereby they disappear at the eleventh hour and not turn up at all.

When you can’t find enough staff, you have to end up doing even more things on your own. And your customers won’t care if you are short-handed. They are only concerned if they can get their food promptly.

#8 MOTIVATING YOUR STAFF – EASIER SAID THAN DONE

Equally challenging is the task of motivating your staff. So you think you are the boss and the staff have to listen to everything you say, right? Not exactly. When your staff are unhappy or feeling demoralised, it is your job to motivate them and make them continue to fight along with you. Maintaining staff morale is easier said than done.

Read: 5 Things you never knew about working at a cafe.

#9 DEALING WITH DIFFICULT CUSTOMERS IS PART AND PARCEL OF LIFE IN A CAFE

As with other businesses, dealing with difficult customers is inevitable. The customers may not always be right, but they sure as hell will make things difficult for you.

#10 YOU WILL BE CONSTANTLY WORRYING ABOUT MANY THINGS

Every moment, the owner of the cafe is worrying about something. Be it operations, staff rostering, dealing with suppliers, updating the various social media platforms, testing new recipes in the kitchen, maintaing staff morale, interviewing new staff, paying the bills – there are things that you have to constantly think about and your mind never really gets to rest.

The Air disasters - AIr Asia & MAS

The air disaster -Air Asia

What a stupid luck? Three air disaster in one year for Malaysia. There must be some thing which bring us this ass luck.

Could it be the Ghost of Attantuyah , whose death remain unsolved and there are so many unanswered questions. There must be a cover up to protect some big wigs. It is better to clear  this case and sent her spirit to be on the way.

What about Teoh Beng Huat ? His mysterious death and so many questionable details and the culprit is not even punished.

DS Anwar sodomy case. How this man's name and life have been abused time and again for the sake of politics .
He is like a fighter who have been hit under belt several times. Let him go and see whether he can make it again in politics.

In addition to the air disaster , there is massive flood in so many states. These disasters is like taking revenge for all the misdeeds. The striking forces is coming back so forcefully.

Let the event come clear and let the negative forces subside and become normal.

Three nights in Bangkok, Thailand (part 2)

 Bangkok trip

The third day start at 9 am and I travel to Chatkuchat, a big shopping village in Bangkok. It was a Saturday and the traffic was light and it took about 30 mins。I took a bowl of white noodles at the village。 

There must be hundreds of shops selling all sort of things including local ,Thai food stuff ,,dried or wet ,garments ,furnitures,leather products . Antques, etc。The  village is attached to several malls and you can walk for hours if you want, 

Next ,,we moved on to central world after 3 hours at the village。it was a complete world and it is an upper class shopping 。,it was a lot of window shopping and we walk for three hours and break for an hour of massage。The break was a wonderful rest。

Next,I went for an early dinner at the river side. The food was a local Thai seafood with a fried Thai pork leg. There was a two piece band playing English numbers from Rod Steward and Eagles。The food was quite good and not too expensive. 

After food and whole day of working ,I have to retire early for the day and prepare myself for the trip home。

The trip was good but I missed the chance to travel down Mekong river and the excellent japanese buffet in ,Bangkok。

Next time , perhaps.

10 tricks to break stress -extract

Excessive stress levels can easily undermine your happiness and thwart your efforts to achieve your goals. If you are feeling stressed right now, take a moment to read this short article that explains 10 ways to eradicate stress and induce a calmer state of mind.

1) Practice Breathing Exercises

Mindfulness exercises is as simple as closing your eyes and focusing on your breathing. By letting any thoughts drift away and constantly bringing your attention back to the feeling of air moving in and out of your lungs, you increase your awareness of the present. Even basic mindfulness exercises are proven to enhance your brain’s ability to deal with stress.

2) Paint Your Feelings

Find some materials you like, and try to purge your negative feelings by representing them on paper or canvas. You may also find it uplifting to paint a representation of the state you want to be in, creating a picture that represents calmness, love or general positivity.

3) Create A Safe And Happy Place In Your Mind

Once you are in a calm, focused state, imagine a place that makes you feel happy and at peace. You might choose a beautiful beach with the waves lapping at the shore, or picture yourself at the top of a hill. Conjure every detail of this perfect place, and return there in your mind any time your stress levels are spiraling out of control.

4) Book A Massage

A thorough, deep massage will leave you feeling revitalized and more capable of tackling life’s challenges. In addition, booking a massage allows you to take quiet time for yourself, reaffirming that your needs matter.

5) Be Uplifted By Music

Listen to your favorite band, find a playlist or compilation of mellow instrumental music, or practice playing an instrument yourself. Music lifts the spirits, and the right sounds can have a dramatic influence on your mood.

6) Relax From Head To Toe

Close your eyes in a quiet room, and start by consciously letting go of any tightness in your feet. Gradually work your way up to your head, feeling your limbs become loose and heavy.
A physically relaxed body promotes mental tranquility and restful sleep.

7) Exercise In Nature

Whether you’d prefer to run or walk, exercising outdoors helps you to appreciate life’s simple pleasures. Consider taking a favorite companion (whether human or canine) to enhance the experience.

8) Destroy Stress

Write each of your current worries and stresses onto a piece of paper, and then tear the paper into tiny pieces. Alternatively, enter a meditative state and picture yourself destroying representations of all of your stresses.

9) Try Gardening

Tending to plants can calm your racing thoughts and help to connect you with the world around you. As a bonus, growing herbs will make home cooking more enjoyable – and tasty too!

10) Repeat Positive Mantras

When you feel your stress levels rising, train yourself to repeat certain key phrases. Empowering mantras that might work for you include everything from the simple “This too shall pass” to more specific affirmations like “I am letting go off stress, and I am moving towards happiness and success.”

Three nights in Bangkok, Thailand ( part 1)

Three nights in Bangkok

I am on holiday in Bangkok, Thailand.

The first night in the Christmas , I was in asiatic village near the Mekong river. It was an entertainment village with lots of food stalls and shopping outlets. I was supposed to watch the Pom show but I had to cancel due shortage of time. I had a sea food dinner and a lot of shoppings. My legs were killing me.

The next day which is today, I went to the floating market and spend one hour on a motor boat going through a shopping center on boats . It was nice and enjoying buying food and fruits in the boat. However , the river water quite dirty. After that we travel another hour to worship a 4 face Buddha , offering flowers and incense . Later, we had a  lunch and I continue to shop at Siam centre for one hour and later went back to the hotel and took a rest. At 7.30m , I eat dinner at their chinese seafood restaurant and continue to shop at the night market  and I close the day with a keg massagr.

These two days have been tough  with lots of walking  but it was enjoyable.

Tomorrow , I will go to Chaktucak and more shoppings.

Merry Xmas.

Today is Christmas eve .  A holy night . please have inner peace and experience the joy on earth. What is life after all?  It is peace to you and not "piss on you". There are so much stress in our job and life  and we better be aware of it and shake it off as fast as possible.

If we try , we can see good in everything  and not just bad in a lot of things. It is only the mind and the body. The mind is clear , the body feels good or the body feels good , the mind is calm  and managable.

It is also what we want to see. We can turn away from the bad sight and see on the good side and we can stop going against the traffic and move with the traffic. It is so stupid to go against the traffic. Why we need to do that ? What is life after all ?

It is always our pride and ego.  Our ego makes our pride strong and in turn it make our ego tall.  I notice that if we do some manual jobs like cleaning the shits of our dog or cleaning our rice bowl after eating, our ego will get smaller and we will be less angrier.

Well, it is time to re-look at ourself , stop a while and think about what is our weakness or what is life after all during this holy eve night.

Everybody is packed off with a holiday mood as all the activities is slowing down.  I will have to stop and re-thing or refocus my direction to be on a happier journey.

To all my readers : A happy christmas and a happy new year.  I have been singing that for years.

Namaste.

Coffee joints in Penang - the coffee island.

From the response to my blog, I have notice there is surge on the hits relating to coffee joints. It is interesting as there are so many such coffee joints in Penang and I think it is close to a hundred.  Many of the pre-houses have also been converted into coffee joints and offer comfortable furnitures and sitting arrangements.

If we were to walk around Chulia street and its adjouning lanes, we will not only have good local food but also nicely decorated coffee joints.  It is amazing to notice how coffee joints have in numbers in Penang and the habit of drinking coffee have also have increased.

It has become a hype and a place to rest , relax and chat with friends. Such concept have promote integration among the youth and old.  Some of them is using these cafe as their mobile office. Why not ? No need to rent an office and can use free WiFi..

I notice such trend in all the Starbuck joints and now it has spread to all the coffee joints. It has become a luxury for the locals and visitors to have a variety of choice.

My favorite list of cafes are :

1) Coffe element - in Farlim and Gurney Pragon.
2) Coffee addict  -  Bishop street, Penang.
3) Coffee chemistry - at Nagore place.
4) Kaffa Coffee - Green hall and at the Penang airport
5) Secawan - Hutton Lane
6) Monkey Cup - at Irrawaddy road
7) Coffee journey - Island Plaza
8) Barista - Penang Time Square
9) Noor & Dean  - Noordin Street,
10)Bebee - Kalwei Road.

Another interesting fact is these coffee joints are replace the old chinese coffee shops where the customers will hit for hours over a cup of coffee. The landscape have been changing very fast.

If is a journey through the coffee island  - Penang.

Tasteless food

Tasteless food 

I have been simple with my food and if is salty or sweet, I would treat it as an average and it is a matter of preference. Today,  I had a bad experience in a tasteless food.

This morning, I was looking a place for breakfast and I stumble into a Bak kut Teh joint along Gurney Drive. The place was presentable and look nice and decent, so I decide to try it out。 I ordered a small Bak kut Teh and a big plate of  white noodle or sar hor fun . The Bak kut was okay but the sar hor fun was tasteless despite I add a lot of black source.  It was totally flat and I feel like a bowl or mass carbo forced inside my mouth.
After eating, I was cursing away and try to get out of the restaurant as soon as possible, 

I told myself that the day of the restaurant is numbered and it is a matter of time it will closed down, For food business , the location and the food taste is the paramount factor for good business,

Bad food is a waste of resources , blessed these people which have no passion to serve good foods.

Kaffa , penangz

Coffee at Kaffa Cafe, Penang

Yesaterday, I took my sisters to Kaffa for a cup of coffee at green hall in Penang, it was Oppersite the Penang Mural Art Museum and next to the famous Karpal Singh legal office and the famous Hwang DBS. It is a famous stretch of road in Penang and it is a walking distance from the seaside.

The coffee was one of the best so far and the cheese bread was excellent. It was soft and nice. Their barista was an expensive one and of quality standard。 However, the design was a bit simple and old. This is the style of most Kaffa design caffee.

Next to the ,Kaffa , it is a Cafe 62 . Another simple cafe serving coffee and snack。 lately such simple joints have mushroomed on Penang island。 Penang has become an island for coffee apart its medical tourism.

The potluck yogi dinner

Last night, we finished our yoga sessions earlier to celebrate the coming christmas. There were about 14 participants and each of us have to bring one dish to join the dinner celebration.

My wife and me brought along chicken wings and nyonya cakes and we were slightly late for the session but it ended well.  When  we started to lay the food on the table , we have so much variety of food. We have  sandwich, vegetable pasta, bakchang , sausage , cakes, tarts, ice creams  floats,  spanish pasta , wine and muraku apart from the chicken wings and nyonya cakes.

The mood was wonderful with the christmas songs playing in the back ground and the christmas spirit near the corner.  We start to get to know each other more and have a funny time eating and chatting.

The spirit of compassion and understanding was great and vast.  Thank you for the togetherness and wonderful experience.

A difficult life

A difficult life

How life can mould you into what you are? Our early educations, our parents love and care, the relationship between brother and sisters and the daily interactions between the people around us are layers and layers of events that mould us what we are today.

If we are surrounded by love and a good life understanding we can be a loving and caring person.
If our family is surrounded with argument and conflicts , we will be harden and become aggressive and defensive.

When we mixed with others , we can be trusting and have good relationship with others. On the other hand we can be defensive and not trusting others.

Each profile has a place in an organization. Those in the first category  have good  team work in operations and management while the second category is in specialist jobs where they can be aggressive and stubborn in their persuance of excellence.

Everyone have a specific task and if this is arranged well , we can have a great team.

Emotions - my internal enemy

Emotions - our internal demon.

Emotions are internal feelings and most of the time, they control how we feel and re-act to a decision , comments and action. In simple words, we are the slave to our emotions.

If we are weak, sick or troubled by daily chorus and problems, our emotions gets strong because we lost the control over our emotions. We tend to make a problem bigger, a stronger re-action to a negative comments and  In a confrontational move. We will often do not listen and we tend to fight back.

However, when we calm down we realized that what happen or said is not our doing. If only we sober down ,then what we say or do could be different. It will be a better ending as what we want.

Being aware if this existence , it will make us more controllable and more composure.  The real control point of our emotions is our mind. A monkey mind make us behave like monkeys. If we are able to train and take our mind , we would be more of our real self. We can trained our mind through more knowledge of ourself and the working of our mind.

Aji- noren, Penang

AJi-noren, a Japanese restaurant   Penang

I have been traveling lately and  I got a break yesterday . I took my family for a Japanese dinner at Aji-noren.in Tanjung Tokong.

The restaurant have been there for 17 years already and I have not heard about it. It is a small place and it operate like any home cooked Japanese place. The setting is in an old traditional style with a mix of traditional and table sitting arrangement.  It is place you can go and eat a simple food and get out after that.

The authentic Japanese food Ike sushi, maki and some traditional Japanese dishes. The taste is good and the price is reasonable.

I think it is one of the affordable place for Japanese food at an average of RM50 per head includng two Sapporo beer. Without the beer , it will be RM40.

If you are staying in Penang or pass-by , pls try and enjoy it. If you have a question of wanting to know where I am? I am on my way to Bangladesh again.

Why are we so personal ?

Can we love all human beings with a compassionate heart ? Do we need to compete with each other or judge each other and behave like we are right all the time ? Can we sit back and analyse ourself and tell ourself that we are wrong.   It has always been that " WE CAN DO NO WRONG"  and sorry is the hardest word.

What is wrong with us ? think hard . It is our ego who has taken over us. We cannot be criticize , we cannot be scolded, we cannot be shame by others,  Yes, like I say earlier, WE CAN DO NO WRONG.

With this egoistic mentality , we will hit the brick wall many times until we wake up and tell that ourself that we are not perfect. If we realized that we are not perfect , then we can accept the imperfection in others.  I have said before that in a Chinese wisdom " one type of rice can feed a hundred or more type of human beings".  This is a wisdom which comes down through thousands of years in China. Yet, we cannot understand it thoroughly.

It is often very difficult to tell a person that she or he is wrong . They cannot listen or understand and accept it. The first thing is that we will response with the question " why are we wrong?".  We have the instinct to protect ourself at the first instance. In our mind, attack is the best way of defence. When there is an action , there is a spontaneous reaction. We hit back before thinking deeply ?  We attack as a way of defence. This is a very normal human reaction.

If we slow down and listen and then reflect on the situation, we could be wrong . We should have the courage to admit that we are wrong adn apologize. But, sorry is the hardest word and most of the time, we soften our stand and walk away if we found out that we are wrong. This is to save our embarrassment.

We become cowards when we find out that we are wrong . This is a form of self protection but the correct way is to stand up and say that we are wrong and we apologize. This is the courage to admit that we are not perfect. What is wrong of being not perfect ? Shame ? scolding ? self defence.

All these re-actions cannot open you to a better person.  We should break our ego and shame ourself. We should correct our weakness if we do wrong. Nothing to be ashame and don't just offer exercise our counter arguements. We look stupid and dumb. Face up and stand up to see it through and understand that it is our mind which need to be trained and explore.

Corret your mind and everything will be alright.

I took my sister and daughter to Coffee Addict this evening for our tea break before dinner . I was a nicely done cafe and it offers a wide range of coffee and breads and cakes , etc.

I heard from my friend that the coffee was good and I have been wanting to go there many times. Finally , I tried and the flat white was good . My daughter order a coffee smoothie and my sister an ice lemon tea. She also ordered a Tiramitsu . The cake also tasted good.

It is recommendable for readers who like a good cup of coffee to try it out. However, one man"a meat is another man"a poison. But, I am quite sure it is a good coffee joint.

Mum, I dedicate this song to you

You raise me up - Josh Groban

When I am down and, oh, my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up to more than I can be.

You raise me up to more than I can be.


When I am down and, oh, my soul, so weary;

Change - the cry

After the meeting today, one of my staff told me to change.  Change what ? I query her and she told me that change is always for the better. Everything we see not right , we should change.

It is easy to cry change but we should also be part of the change if we evocate change. If keep crying change and remained in our old form, we will be killed by the change or we will be changed by the changes evolving around us.

To simplify a change. lets take our life style for example. we are supposedly need to discipline our diet and keep ourself happy but we continue to eat the food which is bad for us. We should change and refrained from the bad food. Yet, we tell ourself that we will change from tomorrow and it never happen.  Why are we so weak to change ourselves.

We waiver in our effort and we promised changes. It is so ironical. If you analyse further , you could see that we need a lot of effort and discipline to change. We always fall back to our routine which is our comfort zone. To break out from this comfort zone, it is difficult but we should try.

If we come out of our comfort zone, we feel irritate and uncomfortable and we have to bear the unpleasantness to move forward. If we go back to our comfort zone, we will never come out again.
The determination to change or to break away from the routine must be very strong and firm. Otherwise, we will become the NATO President , No action , Talk Only.

Aviod thinking too long and flip flop, sometimes is that we do it spontaneously , Just do it.

i honor the essence of being, the Auspicious One, the luminous teacher within and without

Control our anger

When we are angry, we should not talk or do anything.  Just keep silence and break from eye contacts. If possible, just move away from the spot and slow down your breath.  Let the mind clear and slow down your breath and close your eyes.  Feel the strong  pressure in our heart and our paluse.

To let go off the pressure, go for a movie or listen to your favorite song. Take a step backward and relax . Keep the angy subject from your mind and from your focus.  Keep it out as long as possible.

If you are still at the hot spot, change the subject. Keep away your eye contact with the object that you are angry with. Just move your focus to be inside you. Accept the imperfection of people and keep getting your focus to go inward. Concentrate on something.

If the abuse or the anger of another people is on you and he or she is not letting you go, just keep silent and keep your ego under control. Everything will pass with time.  It will.

Focus on the good things on the people who is shouting at you  and be aware that they are also feeling bad and is also hurting badly inside. The louder they shout at you , the more important is you to them. let it go if you are able to control your ego self.

Remember that once the bad moment is passed , the weather will be clear.

Namaste.

The old house , a local restuarant in Penang

Yesterday was my brother in law's birthday  and he invited me and my family to this restaurant in Penang called " The old house".  It is actually a row of old pre-war houses which is converted into his retail outlets for statutes of chinese dieties and prayer materials and a section of retail houses is a restaurant which is called " the old house".

The owner is a Dato and he is also the chef for the restuarant . He offered several packages ie RM15 per set, RM65 per set and RM120 per set and each package comprises of different priority. Of course, the RM120 per set is the best food of all which includes abalone , sharkfin ,etc.

When we eat there, it is like eating your lunch and dinner in a different environment. For the Chinese , it is like eating with all the Chinese dieties and in heaven. There is a saying in Chinese  " the world with saints and buddhas" and it is heavenly like.

The taste is very good and the spread is thick and plentiful.  For the price , it is value for money. 

It is recommendable for tourist and locals to have this wonderful experience to eat with the dieties and buddhas.

Namaste.

Inside looking out

Most of the times it is not what it seems to be if we look from outside in. Yes, we judge from the face of the book and form our own conclusions. If the book cover looks good , we will take a second look and perhaps buy it. Then after opening the book to read ,we find that it is not what it project to be. We don't like the contents or the subject or the style of writing.

Perhaps we return the book and asked for another or chuck the book away.

We have to be in the event or incident to know the real truth but yet there are some perspective which we do not fully understand or we decide the truth itself even without knowing enough of the happenings.

If we see two married person in a pub , we think that they are having an affair but it is actually relate to business or work or both person are just good friends. We often jump to conclusion and think lowly of such encounters. We make up something before we know the truth.

Strangely , this is the behaviour of human creatures. The only people who can think and decide for themselves. We have two eyes but we choose to see with one eye, we have two years yet we choose to hear from one side , we have one mouth but we choose to twist and turn and making our own story.

This is really a wonderful world and a make belief world. We create our own imaginations and choose our own way of thinking.  Our six senses influence our mind . The sense of sight, taste, hearing, looking , smelling and eating. Unless , we control all the six senses , our mind will be behaving like a yo-yo , swing here and there.

It is a wonder that life is so colorful because of lies, falsehood and make believes.

See and don't believe your sight, hear and wonder whether it is true ,touch and check whether it is real.  Are you real ?

Namaste.
