It was a period of no responsiveness from me since September. It was a trial. I have been active on community issues and always tried to express my opinion in my favour or against for the benefit of the community.
Whether it is in the UAE or in India, I never changed this outlook and kept an eye always on issues where I could contribute and create a better environment.
However, some actions and results associated with this committed interaction suddenly gave me an alarm bell and I thought I should try to disassociate myself.
It was a difficult effort and since September I kept a “no response” approach to everything. Whatever I see or hear will have no action from my side. I did it. Not even once did I react.
That was a trial period and is now over. Just to see whether I can stay away from the influence of the surroundings! Yes I did and I can.
Am I like that? No, I am not a person who has no commitment to the family and society.
Our actions speak volumes when we live in a society. So bring positive attitude and effect to all those who are around you. I pity those who try to shout at helpless subordinates for problems of their own! With their actions, they bring a ripple effect of emotions and actions to those who are affected by it.
It will not be positive and will have a detrimental effect on those who they interact with. I always suggest to my friends to become the ambassadors of positivity.

TalentShare is a simple online initiative started on 6th October 2008 to promote creative activities of children and adults through www.team1talentshare.blogspot.com.
The initiative is progressed with the key belief
“A talent or knowledge within you is to be shared”.
As silent or as aloud, through this blog, various initiatives were made all the year along and I am proud to say that till this date, we have witnessed consistent contribution from many talented artists of different age. Several schools from various parts of the world including UAE and reaching as far as Doha, Kuwait, and various parts of India participated with interest in showcasing their creativity throughwww.team1talentshare.blogspot.com .
Periodically, all the participating children were complemented with gifts and certificates.
What is the benefit of a knowledge or a talent if it remains within us?.
Imagine how it spread from one person to another to many, if it is shared. The beauty, the enjoyment and the thrill of sharing, it has to be enjoyed.
Like a child who keeps the chocolate in his pocket without sharing it with his friends on a hot sunny day, your knowledge or talent, hidden and kept aside for your own enjoyment will melt down finally without benefiting you even.
TalentShare is a serious and sincere effort and so far being undertaken solely.
A period of slow activities for it now has to end and I am relaunching it now and take this opportunity to invite more participation from those interested in arts, crafts, music, science, technology or any other field to volunteer in sharing their valuable talent to come forward and be a part of Talent Share activities.
I invite those who are interested to undertake the following responsible roles are welcome to contact me:
– to like the Facebook page and bookmark the blog of Talent Share
– to promote its activities
– to connect me with new talent in any form so that together we can promote them
– encourage the participants
– give guidance to the participants.
– participate in various admin roles.
God bless all those creative talents who contributed silently and please pray for their continued interest in participating and promoting creativity which has no special forms in this world of excellence.
Every photo clicked is a history. One will never be able to re-create that precious moment.
The above photograph and the photos in my Flickr page are from the Al Ain Air Championship 2015, which was held at Al Ain on 19th December 2015. It was amazing to see the skills of the pilots who flew solo and in combination. All the teams made sure to pass on the message of peace. That’s the most essential thing that is required now.
Let these photos and quotes make your day inspiring.

Accidents happen in many ways. Many times, it takes a lot from our life in not time. The photographs in this post is from a worksite accident that happened to one of my friend. In no time, his business was gutted.
What surprised me from the photos he sent me of that incident was a book which remained partially burned. Titled in Malayalam “Engane Naam Marakkum” meaning “How can we forget?”. This book was on his table as he was working on it for updating his collection of websites.
Strange was the fact that the author of the book Ravi Menon happened to be also an email contact of mine.
I consider this physical remains as a pointer to some of the principle values I carry on in life.
One of them is sharing our knowledge.
Whatever happens to us, end of the day or end of our life, what remains immortal is what knowledge we had with us and what we shared with our daily contacts. All other things are mortal according to me.

It is not abnormal for people to start working on a goal and then get distracted or disturbed and then move away from their focus. This is where the advantage of breaking our goals into short term and long term goals. When you feel you are drifting away from your primary focus (long term goal) try wandering around with your secondary ones (short term goals) and then relax and settle down and slowly move back to the destination you planned ahead. For me, these writings, photography, playing musical instruments etc are all in one way or another a method to regroup. Try it out and I am sure you will not fail if you adopt this method.
