Don't Interrupt Others or Finish Their Sentences

Another nice message from ISKCON Bangalore:

Don't Interrupt Others or Finish Their Sentences

When you interrupt someone, or finish his or her sentence, you have to keep
track not only of your own thoughts but of those of the person you are
interrupting as well.

This tendency (which, by the way, is extremely common in busy people),
encourages both parties to speed up their speech and their thinking. This,
in turn, makes both people nervous, irritable, and annoyed. It is also the
cause of many arguments, because if there's one thing almost everyone
resents, it's someone who doesn't listen to what they are saying.

Once you begin noticing yourself interrupting other, you'll see that this
tendency is nothing more than an innocent habit that has become invisible to
you. This is good news because it means that all you really have to do is to
begin catching yourself when you forget. Remind yourself (before a
conversation begins, if possible) to be patient and wait. Tell yourself to
allow the other person to finish speaking before you take your turn.

You'll notice, right away, how much the interactions with the people in your
life will improve as a direct result of this simple act. The people you
communicate with will feel much more relaxed around you when they feel heard
and listened to. You'll also notice how much more relaxed you'll feel when
you stop interrupting others. Your heart and pulse rates will slow down, and
you'll begin to enjoy your conversations rather than rush through them.

This is an easy way to become a more relaxed and loving person.

Develop Your Compassion

Today, I received this beautifull mail from ISKCON Bangalore..

"Compassion is a sympathetic feeling. It involves the willingness to put yourself in someone else's shoes, to take the focus off yourself and to imagine what it's like to be in someone else's predicament, and simultaneously, to feel love for that person. 

Compassion is the recognition that other people's problems, their pain and frustrations, are every bit as real as our own---often far worse. In recognizing this fact and trying to offer some assistance, we open our own hearts and greatly enhance our sense of gratitude.

Compassion is something you can develop with practice. It involves two things: intention and action. Intention simply means you remember to open your heart to others; you expand what and who matters, from yourself to other people. Action is simply the "what you do about it."

Compassion develops your sense of gratitude by taking your attention off all the little things that most of us have learned to take too seriously."

Wild Family "Cheetah Blood Brothers" on Nat Geo Wild---Amazing!!

Yesterday's documentary about "Cheetahs--Blood Brothers" on Nat Geo Wild was an amazing experience! Its an endearing program about how cheetahs' life and the heart touching story of cheetah brothers/cousins. Its amazing how they manage and cooperate within themselves!
The two cheetah brothers waiting in vain for their elder brother was particularly touching! Also the shot where the two brothers stay close while drinking water[so as to protect themselves from any attack] was superbly taken! Kudos to the makers for this amazing piece of documentary!! I strongly recommend this show, as well as the movie Duma [coming soon on WB and HBO] for those who love wild life films!!

With love..

An upgraded Sun Direct STB Software!!

Seems like sun direct is improving with time! On the mahashivaraatri day[12 Feb 2010], I was surprised to see a banner while watching a maa tv program. It said something like "download happening" or an 'update beginning..", and automatically restarted the STB.
It took just over 6 minutes to complete setup, showing statuses like 1, 2, 3,...and "f"[for finishing].
Once it started, it was a pleasant surprise as to how it looked!
Its something like the brand new bright blue hotmail compared to the previous windows 98 like boxy design!
Looks apart, there is a new feature which enables us to edit our favorite channel numbers individually while still watching the channel and sort them by name or by number. This is really handy which was missing in the previous software.
We can also see a small suggestion box at the top right when we type channel numbers, which makes it very easy to use.
One modified feature is that despite showing the help channel at startup, it remembers our previous channel which we were viewing before turning off the stb.
All we have to do is press the recall button after startup.
One thing that they can do well to improve connectivity with the consumers is the communication of any new channels or any info/latest offers through mail. This is very important especially when a new channel is added, when a recharge has been successfull, or a new add-on pack is added to your account.

This can keep us in a much better touch with sun direct. Hope IBM, [who handles the customer management services of sun direct] is listening.

Right now, we have to depend on the internet for latest news on sundirect.

Anyway the improvements are good. Sun direct probably has more business news channels in the basic pack than any other service[ndtv profit, utv bloomberg and ET Now], most number of movie channels in basic pack[utv action, utv movies, world movies and wb], the only service that provides a world class international news channel BBC World News in its basic pack, and the only HD DTH service in India as of 14 feb 2010.
