| Memories of Past
"The unsavory memories of the past should not become such convictions that bind us and restrict our freedom to evolve and grow. Treat the present as a "present" a gift free of the past. Let's wake up to dream about the wonderful future that beckons us" – Deepak M Ranade (Speaking Tree, Times of India, April 19, 2011).
We all tend to be obsessed with past either good or bad , pleasant or unpleasant …. and land up or end up for no where to go. End up and find no way or time for the apparent or the present. It so happens that we are so much carried away by the past the past that went wrong …. and we miss the bus of the present which is more real and which is more under our control. It is time we realize that what went right or wrong was just alright ….what is infront of us right now is important because …… that was our future some time back and that would be our past after some time. Let us enjoy the present…..feel the present…..give our best to the present….which will take care of our future past and future future. Trust me, be fully present in the present, be smiling. Be smiling as it is going to be your past and future.

| Professionalism is a way of life. It a quest for continuous professing and excellence. It is quest for giving more and more to society. LbnRaj lotus5673@yahoo.co.in ; http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com ; Librarianship is a noble profession http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com/ 1816gbgv |
April 19, 2011 Dear Rajashekhar, I red your paper (Devarai, R.S and Ramesh LSRCV. 1999. Librarianship and the professional model : a sociological tutorial and critique.- Library Science with a slant to Documentation and Information Studies, 36(3). It is a very well studied and well written paper. To be able to give competent comments I myself must be competent in the field. You have advanced too much ahead of me which is my pleasure and pride. I like your concluding remark very well. For last 15 or more years, i have not been into any studies. Relaxing and improving my physical and mental status through Vipassana and other forms of exercises has been my main involvement, because i did not want to be a drag on my busy children. One of my classmates Mrs Sheela Nadakarni was a librarian at Bombay university.and my another friend's husband Mr Deshpande was quite a competent librarian. I dont think either of them use even computers. I will let you know if i get any more information.i tried to register for netlog without success. Pl send mail on email. Love.

| Problems "Problems make us more compassionate. They help us mature, and make us more resistant and the same time create sensitivity in us ….. Remember that from dirt emerges the beautiful lotus, from the scorching heart comes the shower of relief and from the depth of pain springs joy" Arup Mitra (The speaking Tree, Times of India, April 18, 2011)
The power of problems so overwhelming and over powering that we get lost in tremendous grief. We succumb to problems …. We rarely are able to see the green pastures that are opened up by each and every small or big problem. Problems can work for us for fine tuning of our skills and talents and innate strengths. Problems are a blessing …. Only thing we should not give up on our dreams and wishes. Hold on to your dream …. Hold on to your inner urges and go ahead ….. if nothing works for you …. Just hold on … every thing will be alright … just hold on….wait what you cannot resolve … solve …. Face …. God enables … God facilitates in such a way that …. A way is found once again under so much of grief and sorrow and darkness. There comes the small back … there comes a new hope. Librarians are people who normally don't succumb to problems …. They are winners as they leave it to God for the work of healing and soothing. Cheers …. !!!!! Face the problems …. Be honest …. Be yourself …. There is a way out … for sure just trust yourself …. Trust God. LbnRaj ; lotus5673@yahoo.co.in ; http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com ; Librarianship is a noble profession http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com/ 1816gbgv |

| Friday musings of LibrarianRaj on BRICS, Mind and Net Access by Rural India: April 15, 2011 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friday musings of LbnRaj : April 15, 2011 1. Times of India editorial asserts that the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) is clearly an association in the making . Ya good it is in the making … many things in their beginnings would be such that people at large even hesitate to acknowledge the beginning. To me it is not the beginning or making …. It is the great beginning and a great making. Frank Wisner says that there is no political connectivity between BRIC powers ….. so what ….. mutual interests make strong connectivity's. Let us watch and see …. How this force falsify all tall reservations of experts and politicians. 2. TOI editorial says …. "Net access could transform rural India…" Any thing that is in the making raise doubts of every one … .. IT intrusion in the rural India will bring to the fore the un intentional ….. not thought of alternative for development. A true democracy may be kindled by this so called IT Intrusion. Believe me. Librarians have a lot to do in this regard …. Let us watch and see how they show their indispensability. 3. Shri Shri Nimishananda on the Purpose of Mind : "Allow others the freedom to be as they are, without imposing your mindset of thoughts and ideas. Have faith and belief that God is in you. Spend some time quietly everyday thinking about your inner self and chanting the name of God. This way our mind which seeks information can be changed into a mind meant for the transformation of o ur very life itself from human to Divine" (Times of India, Speaking Tree, April 15, 2011) Librarianship is a noble profession http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com/1816gbgv |

| Heart and Healing, "Live your life from your heart. Share from your heart. And your story will touch and heal people's souls" – Melody Beattie (Heart of Healing : Sacred Space, Times of India, April 8, 2011)
Every one knows this. Every one realizes this, when some one works from heart one feels elated and light and most likely whether one fails or passes …. he does not either repent or be over joyous,,, one will just be happy and contented. Feelings of let every one be happy ….let every one be as good as and as fair as we are. Librarians let us work from our hearts ….. the readers would appreciate us from their hearts. Let us disseminate information with a personal note and touch. What we do with this way from our hearts has no parallel. Basically every one works from ones heart …..it is only the undesirable learning and training that at times makes us not to work from our hearts. And the more they are happy more we will be.

What say I have on Success, Digital Divide and Proposed ban on Josheph Lelyveld's book on Mahatma Gandhi …. I respond : April 6, 2011 1. I fully agree with Sukhabodhananda when he says …."irrespective of the best effort one puts in, you have to face both success and failure at different times." Yes success and failures are part and parcel of our lives. We need to accept failures honestly …. to realize the importance of succeeding. One who has not failed … it is said has never passed. 2. A new lesson for Librarians on Digital Divide : Digital divide has new avtar now with Russia's next president's advice on keeping abreast on people's aspirations and feelings. A whopping $220 will have to be shelled out for a project that intends to compile all the information that is elicited by common man in Russia by way of blogs and social networking sits. It is indeed a path breaking direction. Every one … every country in this regard will fall in line one day or the other … sooner or later. What do librarians learn out of this? 3. Joseph Lelyveld's book on Mahatma has created one more furore. When do we become little tolerant of honest and artistic expressions of creative people?
