“Personal Transformation is so much personal.
You shouldn't talk about it with anyone.
You must remain absent while remaining present till you are ready. Those around you will comment, criticize, and conspire to create
obstacles in the process, because, as I said in
Relashuns to Relashines, in your light their own shadows will Scare them. If they are not able to stop you, then they will go away. Have the strength to stay with yourself. You will achieve. It is not difficult. Trust yourself. Ah, it is such a beautiful journey without going anywhere else. Staying where you are, doing what you are required to do and do you must.”
― Ramesh Sood

“We attract behaviour. Period.

A deep realisation which had made me apologise and seek forgiveness of the one who had thrown a glass of water on my face sometime in 1978. Imagine what I might have said to provoke such a reaction! I had found him after 17 years to ask for his forgiveness. I had embarked on a search of ten of such individuals from all across. One whom I was not able to locate, I had incidentally found traveling in train.


No, personal transformation is not easy. Don't indulge in it if you are not willing to make the efforts which would be essential. If that strong and intense desire is there, then trust me you will attract the right person, right voice and a right mentor or coach.


To listen to that top, nay, that deep and therefore, a little weak voice, will need you to be cautious and attentive before it gets snubbed by the noise around. If you are able to then know that your time has come.”

“Here’s sharing some true, realistic lessons I learnt in six decades of life after I took birth on this beautiful planet in 1960:

LESSON 1 1960-70
Identifying core values early strengthens one’s inner self and gives direction to “HOW” of living. Daily conversations with my father when I was about 08 got me to define right and wrong in a simple way: Never to harm yourself or any other person even in your thoughts in any way. It gave me a ‘burden-less’ living.

LESSON 2 1970-80
Don’t let your goodness be taken as your weakness by people and use you. Instead of being focused on “getting liked” by those in demand, better to spend time on self-development thro self-discipline, self-control and focus to be the best in what comes naturally to you.

LESSON 3 1980-90 
Whatever be the level of comfort in life, it can simply shift in one day. Life can change in the blink of an eye. Those are the moments when the work you have done on yourself will help you stand tall, confident and get to rebuild yourself. Clarity of the choice will be defining your life ahead.

LESSON 4 1990-00
Persistence, confidence, commitment, passion, hard-work, dedication and devotion are all beautiful terms. Unless you add ‘Strategy’, it works NOT. In pursuit of your goal you may have to be flexible about your values.

LESSON 5 2000-10
Doesn’t matter if you are MOON, if Sun doesn’t like you and stop giving you light, you are nowhere. Very important to develop lasting relationships on a “give and take” principle. Clear and candid. Period.

LESSON 6 2010-20
And if you continue to live with the basic first lesson that I got in early childhood and then what I learned later of being flexible, which I chose not to, as I wanted to pursue what I thought was right, then it is equally true that life slowly and steadily turns magical. For every one person who preys on you to cut your wings, you will find 10 angels willing to share theirs. You will learn LESS IS MORE. And you will find humility holding you tight and taking you through every storm and staying firmly rooted would also mean storms passing through you. Life will just keep flowing and you will be able to create your own small beautiful and happy world.

LESSON NOW:
Whatever you know is only to the extent of how YOU have experienced life. More than that is a perception and an illusion what can also be termed as Your imagined reality
So finally, my lessons are MINE. May not be applicable to all. If even one person is able to relate with them and choose to restart by reconsidering any WHATSs , WHYs and HOWSs, I will be happy.

LAST WORD:
AGE IS NOT A NUMBER! It’s a well-earned gift of experiences.

Feeling blessed!”
― Ramesh Sood

― Ramesh Sood

Exhale means give.

“Everything said will be true from the perceived reality of the source. Even if it is opposite to what I think, it could be true in some context. I can stay calm and not lose balance and avoid judgment while sharing my thought which comes from my perceived reality.”

― Ramesh Sood

― Ramesh Sood

“I know that I don't know.
Does this confession make me someone who knows?
Life's essence lies in paradoxes.
I have heard wisest of people
telling me to live in the present
by drawing and telling stories
from their past. Am I different? No.
Because, in present it just is.
There are no comparisons. There are no stories. There is only simply experience which can't be explained. Because you can only
explain in the next moment when
the experience has become past.


OMG! yeh kaise likh diya. Flow mein aaya aur likh diya..”
