Art of living and the real life

Art of living ,it's a course conducted by Sri Ravi Shankar ,it's a great course as its basically deal with the youth and it's foundation stone is music..and the art of living ....
these days (or i should say the election time) they have also started educating people the importance of voting..and therefore has started a "jaago bharat" abhiyaan where they preach some principles of "Art of Living" , they sing bhajans and most importantly they request people to stand up and vote..
luckily it happened on 9th in Saharanpur(My home town) and i was available there..and my parents also agreed to go there...
Usually or on normal circumstances i don't go there...but i know that Art of Living is a great foundation with a good crowd (beutiful & intelligent girls) so i went there...
they sung very melodious songs ...and the crowd doesn't dissapoint (open hairs....hot weather ) awesome arrangement i should say...
they also gave one very important mantra of "Art of Living" which states that it's upto us how much importance we give to the sorrows of our's we have got both the power to keep it and to delete it..
If we keep it then we would be kept on suffering.. and if we delete it it's just went away......great na..!

then they told some facts abt india i.e. there have been 22 attacks on india in the last year..which is highest for any country.., Just 5 taliban's entering the india rocked the complete nation.. what would happen if complete pakistan attacks india
In Andra Pradesh just in 5 years the no of christians have incresed from 9% to 19%
There is 5400 crores of money kept in Swiss banks and no one is willing to get them back...

yup these are true facts and truly we all should start thinking about this as it's our nation and we are not awake then how would are politicians
In majority of india the voting is 45-50% ,and if a contestent gets 15 % he/she becomes a MP,it means that 85% people have not chosen him..but he is ruling the nation..
we really have to think abt it....?

i was very much impressed with the teaching both of "Art of living" and thinking thing as they have not asked to pray any god /or saint or not asked to do fast or asked for some donations..
and they have offered a simple way to take the path of Art of living...

But in the morning i have to return to Agra , and luckily my train which usually is scarcely occupied was completely occupied to such a extend that there was not enough space to stand..
But one man was sitting one a single seat and i asked him to move ..but he didn't initially i asked him politely in gentleman manner...to give me the seat...but he didn't
i just stand there...without speaking a word...while internally i was just thinking abt the incident(now whether i have put much importance to it..by wishing to have a seat)
And i was just looking for a vent for the escape of my anger..when he said that i should try in front compartment..and i just started shouting on him..and in 5 minutes he offered me a seat..
Can't he offer me seat when i asking him politelly has my size changed (that it may have reduced)..i don;t know....
But i know one thing in real life pain is a part of it..and without it life is not complete..b'coz when pain comes then only we go to find out it's solution.....
