Master Vidyuth Menon - A REAL Talent from Bahrain
Dear Friends,
How many of you can forget the always smiling little boy who came to perform in the recently concluded Super Dancer Junior show of Amrita TV?. How many of you can forget his innocent replies complementing his mother and grandmother for his beautiful costume selection and hair style. How may of you can forget a boy studying and living in Bahrain expressing his liking for Kanji and Payaru?. It is none other than Master Vidyuth Menon from Bahrain about whom I am writing today. Many of us were shocked beyond imagination when this little champion was voted out from the Final 5 of the Super Dancer Junior competition for the Final 3. Master Vidyuth was not selected for the Final 3!!! It was utter dismay and disbelief as he was progressing from one round of performance to the next extremely well and giving us an almost flawless performance which we all expected from the contestant of such a Reality Show. That was history – of course man made.
Out of passion to find out the realities of these little children after participating in such reality shows and also as part of my TQM process to see that these children are not lifted and left down half-way, I approached Master Vidyuth and his family for a brief session and present it to you as it is:

Give GOD some rest
Dear all,
The other day, I received an email forward which was depicting the importance of our Prayer Books. I found it very interesting and sharing it with you all. While coming down to office, I happened to notice a car with it's owner having the same ideology. A unique one. I thought I must give him some due credit.
Many times, we have seen, especially in India, dashboards and front panel of automobiles filled with several pictures and idols of gods. We see the same drivers swearing and cursing the fellow drivers and bullying each other small vehicle and pedestrians on their way. All this they are doing with one or more witness readily availabile in front and nearer to them.
What to say? Give our gods a break. Make a habit to pray during the regular prayer times and let your dedication to your family, work and society be your offerings. Do it diligently. Why not give it a try. The almighty god needs a break. He has been busy working for us all these years. Now, let him focus on someone else with more pressing problems.
********************************************
CELL PHONE vs. Prayer Book
I wonder what would happen if we treated our Prayer Books like we treat our cellphone?
> What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
> What if we flipped through it several time a day?
> What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
> What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
> What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
> What if we gave it to Kids as gifts?
> What if we used it when we traveled?
> What if we used it in case of emergency?
This is something to make you go.....hmm.. .where is my Prayer Books? Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Prayer Book being disconnected because God already paid the bill.
Makes you stop and think 'where are my priorities? And no dropped calls!
ESSENCE OF OUR RELIGIOUS BOOKS AND PRAYERS
> Whatever has happened, has happened for good.
> Whatever is happening is happening for good.
> Whatever is going to happen, it will be for good.
> What have you lost for which you cry?
> What did you bring with you, which you have lost?
> What did you produce, which has destroyed?
> You did not bring anything when you were born.
> Whatever you have, you have received from Him.
> Whatever you will give, you will give to Him.
> You came empty handed and you will go the same way.
> Whatever is yours today was somebody else's
> Yesterday and will be somebody else's tomorrow.
SO WHY WORRY UNNECESSARILY?
.......Change is the law of the universe.....
Have a great day ahead.

Managing the micro-seconds
Managing the micro-seconds
The other day I was watching one of the semi-finals of the Euro 2008. The digital clock was flashing the time left for a very crucial match which was extended due to scores level till the full time. Suddenly a thought came to my mind, how these players control their emotion and play out those final few minutes. The ticking clock was also visible to them as well as the viewers from all over the world. There was no display of panic or show of unwanted aggression. I wished our Sreesanth and team was watching these matches and learn a trick or two for preserving the stamina and controlling it for a final go at the goal.
We come across several situation in life similar to this scenario where we are left with the final few moments of tackling a critical action and helpless to react not knowing what to do ahead. This brings us to the summarisation that follows and criticism in plenty aftermath of such a decisive event.
All of us are good at commenting what should have / should not have done when it was happening in real. Even my grandmother who is an 80 year old lady and keen follower of cricket comments how Dhoni will play or R P Singh will bowl at a particular stage of a match. The advent of electronic media has opened up unlimited opportunities to observe and develop our skills and thinking pattern. But, going out there and performing is a different ball game. Imagine the mindset of a player at that particular situation. The external heat, the match tempo and the target requirements etc. His mind has to be really focussed on to his ultimate goal, i.e. the victory of his team. For this he has to have a concentrated effort to break his goal into short term and long term goals. First set of short term goals will be to settle down and get the feel of the ground and blend him to the tempo going on. And then work towards the larger goal of winning the game for his team. It is here his knowledge and perseverance to stay on without wasting energy for expressing unwanted emotion. This is where he wins his battle over the micro-seconds in case of a football match or the reducing no of balls to no of runs required target.
Germany will be playing Spain today and it will be a thrilling finale to end the Euro 2008. Elimination of major playing countries like England, Denmark, Italy, France, Russia etc have reduced the interest to this match. On paper Spain looks formidable and the in the run up to the finals they have a winning streak of 20 matches under their belt and have all the chances of lifting the Euro 2008. However, I have my bet on Germany for all those qualities mentioned above. Let us see tonight who will conquer those micro seconds before the final whistle blows.
