Is there a Secret Ingredient?

Just a quick recap of previous stories... Visualise your success (in future) and work on it (sowing the seed). Always remember that the Seed (idea) is within you!

 

If you have not been reading this simple stories from the beginning I would recommend that you go back and start from first post.

 

The story is, the gang of 4 astouned to read the news materialise by siddha and decides to sponsor Royapuram Peter, with the hope (you must believe! Somewhere heard?) of getting 2 crores. However they soon find that he is not a boxer and in fact knows nothing about the sport, he is just an ordinary youth (like you and I). Later the gang approach opponent "killer" Peter from the same place but he is a champion boxer and they offer to sponsor him, but he refuses. Again, the gang switched sides approached his family to gain that opportunity to sponsor him, feeling that it is better to trust a professional boxer than a simpleton.

 

Let us look back to the seed concept, remember if a seed to produces fruit, it must first die and be planted (buried) in the ground. In connection to that, we knows that Royapuram Peter willing to face the challenge for love (of his dream) and raise again from heavy blows by the killer Peter at the verge of knockout.

 

To make it clear, I want you to know about the parts of actual seed (not the idea!). Seed contains three main parts 1) seed coat 2) Endosperm and 3 ) Embryo (core). It comprise of least to most important component. Can I compare these two layers (coat and endosperm) with the swithching sides (2 times! ) by the gang in thier layer of hope (weak to strong hope) ! This is the part that makes many people to scratch their heads and say "how can you?"

 

Let me explain, seed has to first die and the plant (from embryo) has to grow out of the muddy waste. So the core (embryo) is the main component to produce plant or tree and to produce fruit thereby more seeds agreed? Yes ofcourse.

 

Now our gang had similar two layers of difficulties (to believe in that idea!) of how Royapuram Peter will win the boxing match? Remember It is not always two layer of difficulties but there will be many we just comparing the main components! What we discover is that the difficulties or challenge is a reality that you and I will face in the future; it is really dependent upon what type of seed (idea!) you are in to and where they end up! 

 

However, let us keep the difficulties aside (that's the hardwork!) and we need only "strong belief". During this journey appreciate the potential courage that the seed has in it to overcome all the obstacles and to live a new life to produce more fruits!

 

Another important fact is that the farmers (gang of 4) sowing a seed (Royapuram Peter) is useless unless it first dies (Mann karate Peter kills old careless Royapuram Peter! Fantastic!). Only after the death of a seed, can the new life come forth. You and I need to decide if we want to be a careless Royapuram Peter or change to attract the (Im)possible!

 

Is there a secret ingredient? Yes or No? It's up to You to Believe!

 

I hope that you enjoyed the story.

What's in a Seed!

Just a quick recap of previous story, in a single line "visualise your success (in future) and start working on it"

The story is, a farmer decides to sow the seed in his field. He definitely knows that peach or Apple seed will give the same fruit and the seed of its own kind. The fruit (Peach or Apple) comes from seeds and the fruit has the seeds to produce more fruit. He surely knows the natural law of multiplication. (farmers or our ancestors are brilliant isn't!).

To make healthy harvest he starts to develope his field by removing the unwanted items such as thorns, stones, etc before sowing the seed (idea!). If anyone knows farming will know afterwards what are the works to be done.Here my point is not related to farming and agriculture to describe to the audience but the concept of seed which we will discuss in brief based on the farming story!

What we discover from the second para is that, first the "seed produce its own kind" and the second concept is "seed in itself" (means apple tree produces apple that contains seed!). Now you go back to previous story and read if you have not I would suggest to read carefully the hidden (words)!

Coming to the point, Rishi has given the newspaper as they wish, it is now upto them to use it or not! While in class we may have hear the lectures but not understood or we may hear the lectures and understood but no application of it or we may listen carefully, understand and apply in life (we may call them as brilliant, successful etc.,) needs lot of hardship to put forth the idea (seed) to work in real time.

The 4 (remember 2 plus 2) utter the word (seed) among themselves it should work in real time and team up to succeed! They decided to farm in their field (heart) with the given seed (idea) to produce a great harvest (fortune of 2 crores! Not an bad idea). As I previosly told, one who knows farming will know what's the next step or remember what they do in the whole movie from start to end (some may remembers beautiful heroine! Sowing their seed it may work :)) backing Royapuram Peter (thinking about one idea at a time). So they know (believed) this seed will definitely work for us and produce big harvest! and let work towards it.

But one may ask how above two concept still applicable! Brilliant mind might have got it already, but still I have started it let me complete.

First seed produces its own kind, apple or orange produce its own kind not the other! Our 4 sowed the seed (concept of  winning the match plus 2 crore cash plus get published in the same newspaper in ahead of times) in their hearts! Thus, "what you sow is what you reap"!

Secondly we discussed about "seed in itself" this is little complicated for all. Always we have the question of chicken came first or egg! Hope some one got the answers by now! Anyways, let's talk about apple or orange tree has the fruit (fortune or built empire) and seed (idea or concept) in it. Hope now you understand our 4 might have different idea or a different concept (internally in hearts) still produces fortune or built empire (naturally or in real world) by sowing the right seed!

You may now agree with me this fortune or empire (fruits) will have more idea (seed in itself) for generation to come! We know so many examples in this world.

Hope you understand the story!

Hidden Truth in Maan Karate (film)!

The story is, the premise opens with four software engineers of Satyam computers. The four (2 plus 2) are on a road trip to an exotic hill station. It can be presumed that all of them are living together! (censor missed out). While they are enjoying chilled beer and life at a remote place far from town, one of them decide to take a swim in exotic water fall and see a “Rishi” doing some kind of underwater tapas or penance. 

The four follow him (curious to know!) and test his powers by asking to grant a favour! The Rishi agrees to grant one favour by picking one of the 4 mobile phones placed in front of him with pre written msgs! The chosen one “cleverly” asks for a Dhina Thanthi (newspaper) four months ahead of it being published and that too, on a festive holiday (tough call). 

Behold the Rishi materializes the newspaper out of thin air by swishing his hand. Then the 4 are surprised to read an article (anticipate!) in that paper their company will face closure four months hence and they will all be jobless. They decide to neglect the whole thing (which we all often do with the given opportunity!) and get back to routine. After their return they change their mind (change attracts the impossible!) and decide to use one of the features (“value”, which we often or never recognise) published in the newspaper and turn it to their advantage (brilliant, try and test your luck!).

They decide to back one (one dream at a time!) personnamed Royapuram Peter who is destined to win a boxing match and end up making a huge fortune of 2 crores! (Hmm….vision and faith moves mountain). From this moment it is all about our Tamil cinema and unrealistic things one may think off! After all movie hero as usual is characterized as a loafer cum road side Romeo in this film too. As with all his successful & illustrious predecessors he believes that education, hard work, dedication, etc are not really needed (of course required, but secondary and will come on your waywhen you have your vision!) to achieve greatness in life! Singing, dancing, drinking (be joyful and do what you like, after all it’s your life in this earth) and last but not the least falling in love with a ‘fair’ maiden is the ultimate goal in one’s life (be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth!). 

Then the 4 trace him (seek you find it!) and decide to train (work on the dream job/start-up!) Royapuram Peter who does not have an iota of knowledge about boxing & the Climax totally predictable from the word Go! Royapuram Peter for the sake of love (for the task YOUtook to make fortune/empire) transforms himself from a kitten into a roaring tiger! 

The underlining story is even a meek underdog and a society discard can achieve the impossible in this world for the sake of love (of his dream), a novice can even perform an open heart surgery blindfolded! 

Boy! I wish someone had given me this magic formula (hidden truth) for greatness, peace and joy I would have simply lapped it up (of course YOU can!) and wouldn’t struggle so hard working for corporate office (for someone’s growth with no interest!) and getting kicked during recession times! 

Hope you enjoyed the story with hidden truth (evolved!)

See you again with a new story!
