Without denying what you said, I would request you to pay heed to what I clearly stated "In the context of everyday life".
For instance:
1. Your gf shows up one fine evening and you insist her to stay for dinner which you promised you are going to cook for her ( (lucky she
) but wait ...only to discover that "Shoot! I ran out of groceries"..
Then you improvise..you grab some eggs lying in your fridge and make some scrumptious omelettes which she ends up devouring....
2. I happen to stuck in a traffic jam and I improvise and de tour..
There are plenty of examples, subtle but important in everyday life when we are bound to improvise. Now the results you face depends on how smart or dumb your improvisation is.
So, I emphasise that by improvisation I'm referring to everyday life and its prompted by that very moment/unforeseen circumstances.
(I'm not denying the palnning part for your life as such..)
With due respect and appreciating your views Col Malik, would like to add:
"Its all about respect" regardless of who is at the receiving end, be it your kids,parents, boss, colleagues, even animals for that matter.
Another important all about "Its all about avoiding (someone)". Its not that you are slipping the venom spewed by 'em through the cracks, its just that you are simply avoiding 'em deliberately...
On that note, I bid you folks good morning (Shakespear’s death day today...)

At the end of the day... its all abt the satisfaction !
Once upon a time, a big monk and a little monk were traveling together. They came to the bank of a river and found the bridge was damaged. They had to wade across the river. There was a pretty lady who was stuck at the damaged bridge and couldn't cross the river. The big monk offered to carry the pretty lady across the river on his back. The lady accepted.
The little monk was shocked by the move of the big monk. “How can big disciple brother carry a lady when we are supposed to avoid all intimacy with females?" thought the little monk. But he kept quiet. The big monk carried the lady across the river and the small monk followed unhappily. When they had crossed the river, the big monk let the lady down and they parted ways with her.
All along the way for several miles, the little monk was very unhappy with the act of the big monk. He was making up all kinds of accusations about the big monk in his head. This got him madder and madder. But he still kept quiet. And the big monk had no inclination to explain his situation.
Finally, at a rest point many hours later, the little monk could not stand it any further, he burst out angrily at the big monk. "How can you claim yourself a devout monk, when you seize the first opportunity to touch a female, especially when she is very pretty? All your teachings to me make you a big hypocrite."
The big monk looked surprised and said, "I had put down the pretty lady at the river bank many hours ago, how come you are still carrying her along?"

this vry old chinese zen story reflects the thinking of many people today. we encounter many unpleasant things in our life, they irritate us nd they make us angry. sumtimes, they cause us a lot of hurt, sumtimes they cause us to be bitter or jealous. but like the little monk, we are not willing to let them go away. we keep on carrying the baggage of the "pretty lady" with us. we let them keep on coming back to hurt us, make us angry, make us bitter nd cause us a lot of agony.
why?
simply because we are not willing to put down or let go of the baggage of the "pretty lady". we shud let go of the pretty lady imdtly after crossing the river, imdtly after the unpleasant event is over. this will imdtly remove all our agonies. there is no need to be further hurt by the unpleasant event after it is over... its just that simple.
but in reality everybody tries to adopt a holier-than-thao stance, nd carry along keeping this baggage of of "pretty lady" nd thereby killing or crucifying jesus, time nd again. jesus was crucified nd was born again. everyday in our daily life we crucify 100’s of jesus, knowingly or unknowingly. but d’u really think, you crucified the jesus??? the answer is big "NO". jesus was n’vr crucified nd would n'vr be… he will be born time nd again, as long this vicious circle of life exists.
"how many deaths must i die before the final death
or is it the resurrection i await
with arms outstretched".
i guess above story nd quote will give some meaning to those who crucify jesus every now nd then... if at all, they can comprehend... cos, at the end of the day its all abt the "satisfaction", some can derive tht satisfaction by "नोच'ing the khamba", sum can derive it by maintaining their cool.

A post of sorts , appreciate that big time.
If I have to answer what is all about Brahm .. I would probably refer to this post and say :It is all about "this".
!Probably we can stop being judgemental , stop carrying the pretty lady and life would be rosy!
Thank you for all the words of wisdom , I am learning ( at least ) !

As usual, quite an interesting topic by @nil and grt inputs from worthy members
It is about me( us), with or without mask!
It is about me,( us), in thoughts and actions!
Its about me(us), beastly and saintly!
Its about my( Our) ignorance and knowledge!
Its about my(our) existence and survival!
Its about survival of the fittest!
These were some vague and abstract thoughts, Inspired by all worthy members in responding to Anil's quest for different perceptions and point of views on the topic.
I am still not sure if i was on right track!
It is about to be cheerful and bring cheers to others!
It is about that blissful moment!

poonam/sunil, how can you overlook my signatures
1. its all abt being "BOLD" in what you stand for !
2. its all abt keeping simplest of tastes... satisfaction is bound to follow.
3. its all abt "being YOURSELF"... do tht, everybody/everything is taken in.
Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
p.s.: easy said then done !

.you see, tht'll also help avoiding gender bias... folks (ladies) can carry 'betal' on their back nd gents can carry 'pretty lady' as long their thots are in sync
with elder monk.

It is all about people !
I thought I would conclude with this line :
" It is all about people ! ".
But then thought it would be pretty unfair on you all to not get a chance to scrutinise what I said.
To me , it is all about people , those that you choose and those that you do not.
Every bit of emotions that you feel ( the rationals , the irrationals and any other irrespective) is due to others.
Joy , fear , surprise , disgust , anger , sadness , love , remorse , aggressiveness , contempt , submission , otimism you name it , all are becasue of other people!
Make sure you choose the "right" set of people!

I agree!
