New endings and new beginnings ... what it means to the Librarians?

Endings and beginnings  - What it means to the Librarians? January 7, 2011   "Every ending is a new beginning.  Through the grace of God, we can always start again." – Seneca (Sacred Space, Times of India, January 7, 2011). "I have special inclination for Library Services … like indexing, abstracting etc … but you know … I have wasted years at Circulation Counter of the library … I don't know when I will get into in what I am passionately interested." "I am so passionate about socializing … Public Relations but for the last 5 years I am working as a cataloguer …. What a waste of time …. How do I get back those 5 year… time doesnot come back." We hear such laments of Librarians either young or middle aged or the seniors as such. If we look at the lives of performers …. Innovators …. Inventors … successful leaders … we can very well understand …. The path of success is not as smooth as we think of. Desperation for something… craving for something gets birth out of a situation where in we are doing something not so dearer to our hearts. And this desperation will make you head towards getting into what you always wanted to get involved in. If we are deprived of something … for quite long ….dont feel bad….dont get disheartened….that builds up the required energy and passion for the thing….you have always wanted to do. If you are bent upon doing something …. You will find time … you will find resources…you will find opportunity. Don't succumb to circumstances  and situations … endure your efforts….sustain your passion… be what you are … stand for what you are. There are examples of many Social Scientists, literary figures, scientists … who enjoy doing most of what we librarians call as work. There are many librarians who double up either as a writer, poet, or an artist. And it is not necessary that we should earn laurels only from the vocation that pays us and continues to pay us. There is no end as such for any thing…. The years that have gone behind cannot be recalled … but that was not a waste …. We are the result of all of our involvements, moments, experiences of the years that have become history now… and they have made us what we are today.  And whatever we are today is nothing less nothing more…. And we have no right to ridicule on what we are …. We are what we are … we should continue to be proud of what we are and what we stand for. Every ending has a beginning…..we can always start over right now again and again. It is not late for any thing…. The left with you for this life … may be 10 years, 20 years ….40 years…80 years are neither less nor more. The time is just enough for doing and accomplishing what ever you always dreamt. Cheers! It is not late for any thing even if you are at 50 or 60 or 70 or 80. Start now … this could be a right moment for one more new beginning…..Cheers!!!!!!

Unreasonable questions to a Librarian .....

Unreasonable questions to a Librarian.... Can you hope to always to be surrounded by good people? ... or to be good environment? What nurtures goodess, virtue joy and love Will you agree to the theory that indicates how we make our destiny .... our thoughts ... leading to emotions..Moods...Temperaments......Actions.......Destiny I quote Purnima (The Speaking Tree, Times of India, 06-01-2011), "A mind that is awake and watch nurtures goodness, virtue, joy and love within a human being in all aspects of life.......Awareness is what can give you an extraordinary quality of life.....so come alive, live consciously, be aware of every movement, and be awake to every rythm of life.  In living live every moment that you see is each a time a     NEW BEGINNING".  LibrarianRaj   Librarianship is a noble profession                                                                                                                 http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com/ lotus5673@yahoo.co.in 1816gbgv

Library ethics and ethical librarianship ...... how ethical r v as librarians? .......... January 05, 2011

Library ethics and ethical librarianship January 05, 2011 Ethics forms the base of human society inclusive of all fabrics of human life. Organizations and Institutions adhere to ethical practice all over. Libraries and librarians are not an exception to this and they are associated with the world of knowledge. I am focused here more on ethical librarianship rather than library ethics which includes the dos and donts of other stake holders. How ethical is the profession of librarianship? How ethical are the librarians? What forms the base of librarianship with regard to its ethics? It is time to go back to professional code of conduct enshrined in our institutions and professional associations, which all of us agree to abide by. Cheers! It is an honour and joy to be good, to be ethical …………and above all this paves way for our position as a full fledged profession …. this  paves way for our rightful position and status in society. Cheers!!!!!!! Let us be ethical.

Mind your actions .... mind your behaviour .... Librarians your behaviour can elevate you to be a full fledged professional

Behaviour January 4, 2011, Tuesday "Behave so the aroma of your actions may enhance the general sweetness of the atmosphere." – Henry D Thoreau. Behaviour is every thing,  it turns a dull atmosphere into a lively meeting. It lightens the hearts of the ones who have suffered or who are suffering. Right and compassionate behaviour kindles rays of hope and inspiration in the people around us … people who matter us very much. Our every word and action are capable of spreading aroma of sweetness or or spreading waves of hatred and filth. Let the aroma of sweetness take over all hatred and filth in our behaviour. Let the smiles rule the basics of our actions / behaviour.

Every moment of our life is precious ... every moment has a potential to teach us some thing eternal .... some thing extra ordinary!!!!!

Gift of God January 3, 2010 "Every day we live is a price less gift of God, loaded with possibilities to learn something new, to gain fresh insights into His great truths." – Dale Evans Rogers (Sacred Space, Times of India, January 3, 2011) Well said Rogers, every moment, day, month and year is a priceless gift of God. Every moment has potential  and opportunity for us to learn learn new and different things. And all of this leads us towards getting fresh and new understandings of the ultimate truth.. Every child loves its parents … as much as parents love it … I do love my parents … no less no more …. Just being as close to truth as any other universal truth. At times we get so busy …. Or tend to think that we are busy ….or we are busy actually for different reasons …..as we keep prioritizing our goals in life. My mother who is in hospital for her heart surgery …. At Bangalore ….. tells me some times if it is possible for me to meet her. She does not want me to meet her if that was inconvenient … if that puts me to difficulties of any soft. What a mystery of the ultimate truth. My priorities …… are stuffed  so much and so much realistically …. and it rarely has priorities of my parents …… the things of my kids are in my priority list … and not of my parents. But my parents priority list is all about me my brothers and sisters…… My be I learnt this from them only. But still …. I strongly think that the way the priorities are worked out needs to be toppled down …. needs to be  re worked ……. I wish and strongly believe that hence forth my parents and their requirements …. atleast in terms of emotional bond should figure in list of things to do. Every body loves their parents …. I do love my parents … may be little more than what we do in this regard is desired …. Thank you God for atleast giving me this opportunity to realize this.

Again on Ends and Beginnings …… while dwelling seriously and sincerely on Ends and Beginnings I honestly wish all of you a meaningful, happy, and cheerful 2011. Happy New year 2011

Again on Ends and Beginnings …… while dwelling seriously and sincerely on Ends and Beginnings I honestly wish all of you a meaningful, happy, and cheerful 2011. Happy New year 2011 January 1, 2011 New year works as a mark or milestone on our enduring passage/road of our achievements, shortcomings, feelings and sentiments. May be it is a learnt phenomena to count 365 days as one year……..  60 seconds as one minute and 60 minutes as one hour and 24 hours as one day …and 30 days as one month and 12 months as one year. Whatever …… these counts help us to measure …… assess our contributions on whatever we engaged in the last year.  The day of new year is not  a day for mourning ………..not a day for repenting…….it is a day for reassuring…….it is a day for cheering…….it is a day for smiling on what that last moment….day…..and month and year it was………..and then to look forward for altogether new next moment, day, month and year ahead. Every moment that has started in the year 2011 is different from the last year. The year 2011 can be replicated once again……and there is no need either. There is a need to underestimate our sufferings and worries … there is a need to over estimate our joys and our achievements and accomplishments. There is nothing wrong……….good or bad we need to and tend to look forward for more happiness………more cheer……..more comforts. We look forward to have more and more delicious……..tastier food………we look forward for seeing beautiful things………..travel around, dance around….and what not……….      NOTHING WRONG!...........WHAT IF WE CANT RELISH SWEETS CONTINOUSLY…….DAY IN AND OUT ……… AT EVERY GAP WE WISH TO HAVE SWEETS AND TASTIER FOOD …. THAT IS WHAT  WE ARE …. THAT IS WHAT WE ARE BY NATURE…….NOTHING WRONG. You will at times find few individuals………who are so idealistic………..who are so perfect…………who are so joyful…….who are so fantastic……….who are so much interesting……………so much beautiful………..who are so sick of being good…….!!!!!!! It is ok………this does not and should make one think of not being good……….not being happy………not being important…… Yes this is life …. We are destined to think of the better………we are destined to think and desire for good things…….better things ……better opportunities in life……….nothing wrong. THE WORST OF THE WORST INDIVIDUALS AND THE BEST OF THE BEST INDIVIDUALS HAVE THEIR OWN JUSTIFICATION FOR GOOD AND FOR BEING PERFECT. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY ONE BORN JUST TO THINK…JUST TO BE BAD. BEING GOOD IS IN OUR BLOOD……..BEING ACCOUNTABLE….BEING HAPPY IS OUR FUNDAMENTAL NATURE AS HUMAN BEING. BEING BAD IS A LEARNT BEHAVIOUS …. IF AT ALL IT EXISTS. ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS THE GOOD AND THE FAIR THAT WE DEFINE FOR OURSELVES……HOW FAIR AND GOOD IT IS TO OTHERS. CHEERS……….HAPPY NEW YEAR………WE ARE SOCIAL BEINGS……..WE ARE THINKING ANIMALS……..LET US CONTINUE THIKING………… THE YEARS PASS BY … LIFE GOES ON …. AND LET US BE TRUTH FUL TO EVERY SECOND OF THIS WONDERFUL TIME THAT STARTED AT 01.00AM TODAY …. THAT IS IT …. THIS VERY MOMENT IS NO LESS IMPORTANT…………… TIME HEALS OUR BAD MOMENTS……..TIME HEALS OUR PAINS … LET US MOVE FORWARD…….. LET US BE IN TUNE AND STAY IN TUNE WITH THE COSMIC TRUTHS . WE ARE PART AND PARCEL OF A BIGGER GAME………. LET US PAY AS LONG AS  WE ARE IN THE PLAY GROUND… CHEERS!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU!!!!

One more opportunity for a New Beginning .... Wish all of you a Happy and Prosperous new year 2010

New beginnings                                                             December 31, 2010 "A new beginning brings with it a freshness that is hard to ignore as it brings with it fresh hope and the promise of bright days ahead." – Janina Gomes (The Speaking Tree, Times of India, December 29, 2010). When things go wrong …when hopes and dreams seem to be shattering……when the last second, hour, day and year haunts…..what should one do?  Repent on the past that went wrong? Worry on the next moment, next hour, next day or the next month and year?  You are right Gomes, a new beginning, a new fresh beginning is a wonderful option!  And when should this new beginning take off? Is it the next fresh second, it it the next fresh hour day, month or the year?  A fresh beginning could be conceived at the earliest …….could be the next second or the next minutes.  Yes explore freshness all over again in the fresh new beginning……there are n number of opportunities for new beginnings.  Explore as you move from second to second, life is full of abundance, if we act unconditionally and abundantly. Next beautiful moment is waiting for our new beginning! Cheers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but any one can start today and make a new ending" - Maria Robinson (Sacred Space, Times of India, December 30, 2010).  Yes Maria, no one can go back for initiating a new beginning..... but human mind is such that we always tend to think of how bad or how good was our beginning yesterday ..... last month .... and we keep building up castles in the air. Whatever was the beginning .... or the start ... it was ... it is past now....... that beginning is beyond correction. The beginning that is history now ... should be built upon ..... refreshed with new beginnings .... am I right? We can always make new beginnings .... for achieving desired endings... desired goals. It is indeed beautiful to be in the present ..... because it takes care of your history of today as you can see it from tommorrow. By being in present .... you can shape a better and desired tommorrow ..... am i right?   Be in the present and define your future history and future tommorrows.

Why holidays when every day is a holiday?

Why holidays? "When you like your work, every day is a holiday". – Frank Tyger. (Times of India, Sacred Space, 29, December 2010).  It raises questions like ….. What do we mean by a holiday? Can we have or should we have holidays continuously. Is it not logical to have a distinction between a holiday and a working day. Let us assume that we enjoy our work on a working day a lot ……………….and it is really a celebration every whey while we are on work. Can we celebrate every day every moment……………..then the celebration loses its importance. We like sweets ……………………can we have sweets every day ………..every moment. We need to be cheerful every second…………….everyday … then no one likes to be cheerful………..it becomes so boring you know……………………….. Now should we have holiday every day………………………… Then is it wise to like our work so much that …………….every day looks like a holiday? ……………………………….. I don't know……………… it is quite natural not to like the work so much ……………… so that we may have those rare moments when we liked the work so much ……….and so much passionately? I think Librarians will agree on this ? Am I right?

Why we dont believe in the un seen and un touchable?

To believe in the unseen … !!! "To believe in the things, you can see and touch is no belief at all.  But to believe in the unseen is both a triumph and a blessing." – Bob Proctor (Source : Foggy Vision?, Sacred Space.- Times of India , December 28, 2010). Yes most of us do believe in the unseen, untouchable,…. without our knowledge. We live with the unseen, un perceivable and all pervading supreme power unawares. Either by deep penance ………….meditation……………….or introspection …………..we do believe the unseen, un touchable at times. But again we may often come back to the basics ………….that is trusting and believing only that which can be seen and touched. We keep oscillating between mind and matter ……….continuously ………..endlessly.

Mother, Mother and Mother !!!!!!!!

mother "I am the mother of the wicked, as I am the mother of the virtuous.  Never fear.  Whever you are in distress, so your self, 'I have a mother'." (Sri Sarada Devi). Beautiful indeed! Sri Sarada Devi has told what every one does without any one being told about this.  Whenever We are in trouble or distress …. We suddenly pronounce ………… 'maa'……………. Avva………………. Mummy……………….. That is the nature's gift to human kind known as Mother.  There cannot be any other example of unconditional and unlimited love …………….. other than mother. "If you want peace do not see the faults of others.  Rather see your own faults.  Learn to make the w2hole world your own.  No one is stranger, my child.  The whole world is your own." (Sri Sarada Devi). True indeed ……………………we keep searching for the mistakes that others commit tend to commit………………..unaware of what mistakes we commit …………..keep committing.   No one is a stranger in this world …………. What a truth. We are all connected by land water and air and space……………………… nothing in universe is disconnected. Every thing is connected with the super power……….the supreme power………….all inclusive of living and non living things.  I am so much thank ful to Times of India for including these two wonderful columns known as Sacred Space and The Speaking Tree. They are constant source of inspiration, courage and wisdom…………..not only to me but all those who are addicted to wait for the days Sacred Space and The Speaking Tree. Hope Librarians do have this habit of having a daily glimpse of sacred space and The speaking Tree. I wish they do! What do you Say?

I dont know how and why? I have developed this fascination for reading.  The speaking Tree and Sacred Space columns of Times of India for the last few years.  It has almost become an obsession to read thse just like I have my breakfast and dinner.  Hats Off to Times fo India for these columns on centre page.  The last night I had a peculiar dream.  One of my colleagues / friends proessional Acquintance (not so much known) drops into my library / office ...saying "thank you for the invite.... / I said ' oh it is my pleasure.... me, my friend said a colleague of my  mine get to the auditorium and get to the podium.  Instead of chairs there was a long streatching matress on wwhich we a ere resting .... relaxing.  That was a very light and relaxing moment f9or we three or rour we / were convrsing some things which I dont remember now.  I dont know whether we were relaxing... or almost e had ... ere lying .  There is a sleeping position.... The whole auduience infront of of us and wer were shispering...gossipping.  Suddenly my colleague asks me what time the program starts?  Then suddenly vwake up. oh is there a program/?  My God I forgot..... e need to arrange for it... oh my God the audience is already there in front of us and we really did not do anything.  How come the uests of honour did not arrive?  Then the dream shatters........... and I keep thinking on te dream..that went by.  How come dreams are at times so illogical..... disconnected and meanless.  Now this time of the day I have got to write on this when I incidentally happen tro read something.....by Jui Padegar on Aurobindo (TOI, the Speaking Tree 6-9-2010).  According to Aurobindo, "There are several realms of consciousness beyond the physical world we live in and that these planes of consciousness are in facct  and that these planes of consciousness are in fact the other worlds that are as real as we take our own world to be.  When one sleeps the subconscient mind is freed from the shackles of the mind that operates in the physical world, travelling across other those other worlds soaking in the experiences both good and bad..... that are needed for further consciousness evolution of the individual in the dream state.
I end this write up with the words of Marguerite Theophil, .... working with "What is means to seek meaning within the absurd, peace within chaos, light within darkness, joy within sufering without the need to deny the reality of absurdity, chaos darkness and sufering" (The Speaking Tree, Your faithfully with grace, Times of India, 01-10-2010).

Librarian towards ASSISTED SERVICES.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Librarian towards “Assisted Services”

LbnRaj

November 17, 2010; blogged on December 25, 2010.

lotus5673@yahoo.co.in ; http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com

It is a novel and recent service being slowly making its inroads into our urban life.  According to Divya, the assisted service concept is in the west for quite some time .  I think it is a great and out of the box idea.  People in general today are too busy in their jobs/business and family life.  They find it difficult to invest more time and energy in organizing some of their activities like shopping , programmes etc.  The office goers are hard pressed for leaves / breaks.  This  facility known as assisted service really is timely and works well .  Changes I hope will get rationalized slowly.  I dont remember correctly it was in Times of India some ago, some one wrote on the concept of “Personal Assistant”.  The content was almost same like that of this by Divya. Coming to the knowledge and information side this “Assisted  Service” works wonders.  “Personal Assistant” conceived in this way can never be replaced fully by Elders, parents, teachers or friends.  The day Librarians realise this  and come out darlingly to assume such out of the box role, will indeed be a day of celebration.  Though not explicit every student, scholar, teacher , businessman looks out for some one who is accessible who could assist in organizing this personal information / knowledge requirements.  Information/ knowledge workers and librarians are attached to their organizations and institutions.  No one is available  for catering to this unpronounced / implicit requirement.  Yes this could be a very right time to locate a librarian as your personal assistant.  Yet this could be a very right time a for a librarian to think out of the box to assume a more aggressive and socially visible role as a knowledge / information assistant on call.  Librarians! Cheers.  New opportunity and challenge waits for you! Grab it before others do it on your behalf! A personal Librarian! Wow!

It is not uncommon these days to hear terms like knowledge society, knowledge economy, knowledge management, knowledge engineering and so on., every where in social networks , media and local day today gossips Information and knowledege and their generation, storage and retrieval and communication is a pre-requisite of human life nd its existence, since time immememorial.  Some times in the loud noise of the pronouncements of the concept and term so very often one seems to be easily mislead.  One may erroneously think and feel that the so called information/knowledgfe had no role in the shaping human society and its business and activities.  One should sooner or later come out of such fobia.  Knowledge has mattered the society,  may be much intensely thean today, in the past.  The difference could be  only in terms of ease, speed and convinience of handling it some time back we were very clear about the meaning of infomation and knowledge.  It is grossly unfortunate now that knowledge is brought to the level of data and information.l.. May be we will pay heavily on this error later.  Much of information and its processing now is computable and progammable.  May be we need to restrict ourselves at this level.  I still find it hard to digest our computing abilities when it comes to knowledge and wisdom.  This is not to undermine the importance of developments with regard to artificial intelligence and robotics.  May be the concept could have become a handy tool in the hands of modern busines sicience, may be our businesses have graduated to their second levels.  But some where some how we need to progress towards a distinction between statisticsw, data, numbers , information, knowledge and wisdom.  Let us continue to progress towar4ds arrriving at new break throughs, inventions and innovations without meddling with age old established terminologies for drawing new lines/ bench marks for business excellence.
