How Emotion, People, and Success Fooled You

Every author doesn’t get a chance to make their book an international bestseller.

But I’m feeling the luckier one.

I’m on cloud nine while expressing this about my book, How Emotion, People, and Success Fooled You.

I am happy to announce that my book is an Amazon Best Seller now! ❣️🌞

This is something to celebrate for me, as I’m an independent author.

I didn’t reach out to traditional publishers and couldn’t rely on self-publishers for any service.

I wrote it, edited it, proofread it, and published it all by myself as a hobby and passion.

Before becoming an author, I was a book lover too.

Still, I am a book lover!

I started book blogging and even reviewed 120+ books to understand most of the ins and outs of writing.

It also helped me to understand the bookish industry, ground reality, and how several things work.

I’m grateful to God that he saved me from all the scammers and scam opportunities that seem too tempting.

The book title, ‘How Emotion, People, and Success Fooled You: 7 Empathetic Threads with 21 Key Lessons,’ itself has lots of seriousness.

It increases my responsibility to stay honest and transparent with my readers.

This is something I learned about education and awareness via books in the past 7 years while interacting with people online and understanding more about authors, readers, and books.

This incredible achievement reflects a deeper effect on many readers.

It also reflects the relevancy of my book’s theme in today’s emotionally complex and fast-paced world.

I’m grateful to my readers who decided to buy or download my book, How Emotion, People, and Success Fooled You.

As per the feedback I have received from many people, now I’m sure that many people and readers will resonate with the book.

If you still didn’t get a chance to read it, get it from here or from my website in different formats.

The woman who loves you can enhance your creativity, can inspire you to heights you have never dreamed of. And she asks nothing. She simply wants your love, which is her basic right. ~ Osho. 

Love Month is here, and so is this special post about women and relationships. This post is part 2 of the previous post realities you should know about women, which you can read after reading this. 

Basic understanding is the foundation of good relations more than capability, right or wrong things. Whether it’s toward a family member, your parents, siblings, spouse, or other loved ones.

So here are some powerful lines by Osho to help you understand more about the Women, from The Book —

The Book of Women: a celebration of women and the female spirit.

32 quotes about women — The Book Of Woman

1. The woman is always more like a child, more full of wonder than man. 

2. Whenever a woman listens, she hears more deeply, more intimately, more lovingly. But a man is very resistant, alert, afraid that he may be influenced, and hurt if his knowledge is not supported.

3. This has been my experience all over the world — that the woman listens, and you can see the glitter of wonder in her eyes. It is not superficial, its roots are deep into her heart.

4. Nine months she suffers, the birth of the child she suffers — and what does the man do? He is not concerned at all about what the consequence will be for the woman.

5. She is constantly living in one season — pain and pain. The seasons don’t change from summer to winter, or to rain. The woman’s life is really hard.

6. Because the woman has been dominated, tortured, and reduced to a nonentity, she has become ugly.

7. The woman that you find in the world is not a true woman either, because she has been corrupted for centuries.

8. When the woman is corrupted, man cannot remain natural either, because after all, the woman gives birth to the man.

9. If she is not natural, her children will not be natural. If she is not natural — she is going to mother the child, male or female — those children naturally will be affected by the mother.

10. Women certainly need a great liberation, but what is happening in the name of liberation is stupid. It is imitation, it is not liberation.

11. Real liberation will make the woman authentically a woman, not an imitation of man.

12. I would like the woman to become really a woman, because much depends on her.

13. She is far more important than man because she carries in her womb both the woman and the man.

14. She mothers both, the boy and the girl; she nourishes both.

15. If she is poisoned, then her milk is poisoned, then her ways of bringing up children are poisoned.

16. The freedom of woman is a must for the freedom of man; it is more fundamental than man’s freedom.

17. If the woman is a slave — as she has been for centuries — she will make a slave of man too, in very subtle ways.

18. She will not fight with you directly; her fight will be indirect, it will be feminine. She will cry and weep. She will not hit you, she will hit herself.

19. A very thin, weak woman can dominate a very strong man.

20. The woman needs total freedom so that she can give freedom to man too.

21. Do you know? The first persons who started talking about equality between men and women were men, not women. The first persons who started talking about it, that they should have equal freedom, were men, not women.

22. The male mind is a cunning mind. The woman is more innocent; she cannot be so strategic, so political. She has always believed the man.

23. She cannot forgive the man for using her.

24. And if you have to compete in the world and prove that you are as strong as men, you have to somehow become more like men. And this will be a loss.

25. The only hope for humanity is the softness of woman, not the hardness of man.

26. What is needed is that man should become more like woman, rather than woman becoming more like man.

27. Men and women are not equal, because man is missing that womb. They are so different — how can they be equal? They are polar opposites. They are so different, they cannot be compared in terms of equality or inequality.

28. There are women who are not women, who are wolves; and there are men who are not wolves, who are cats.

29. The woman, to be really a woman, has to be more and more feminine, has to touch the heights of softness and vulnerability. And the man, to be really a man, has to move into his masculinity as deeply as possible.

30. When a real man comes in contact with a real woman, they are polar opposites, extremes. But only extremes can fall in love, and only extremes can enjoy intimacy. Only extremes attract each other.

31. The woman can be of immense help in creating an organic society. She is different from man, but not unequal.

32. The truth is that the pain and suffering that women of the world have gone through is a thousandfold more than man has ever known.

If the woman is not free to be really a woman, man will never be free to be really a man either. ~ Osho

For many, loved ones and family are still important. But several differences become the reason for love-hate relations. Basic understanding is the foundation of good relations more than capability, right or wrong things. Whether it’s toward a family member, your parents, siblings, spouse, or other loved ones.

Life keeps going, and sometimes we only need a little understanding of the basics.

So here are some powerful lines by Osho to help you understand more about the Women, from The Book —

The Book of Women: a celebration of women and the female spirit.

Born on 8th September 1960 in Modinagar, Deepak Sharma has seen many phases from corporate life to fulfilling dreams of giving back to society. 

He quit his corporate career in 2013 after working 31 years in corporate to contribute and support as a volunteer at Udayan Care an NGO since 2009. It is a 28-year-old NGO with a focus on girls’ higher education and women's empowerment. Currently, Deepak Sharma is a Trustee in Udayan Care holding several operational responsibilities.

Deepak Sharma has worked in NTPC, ABB, ALSTOM POWER, BSES, TATA POWER, AND TATA TELESERVICES LIMITED. 

INTERVIEW 
(Conversation spotlight: Deepak Sharma and Monika Singh)

1. Why did you decide to quit your corporate job & join as a volunteer in an NGO? 

Deepak Sharma: It was my dream to give back to society when I was 36. There was an event which in fact led me to quit corporate when I was 53 in 2013 to work for girls’ education.
For more details please read my book “Wings To Fly” available on Amazon and Flipkart.

2. Your book "Wings To Fly" has an awesome title. I've heard a few Book lovers in my community praising it & feeling excited about it. How did you create such an awesome title, and what inspired you to write this book? 

Deepak Sharma: I finished writing this book in January 2022. It took me almost 18 months to complete it. However, the title was more by accident than by design. In those days I was reading Dr. Kalam’s Wings of Fire. While discussing several titles for my book one of my friends gave the brilliant idea of titling it Wings To Fly. It sounded apt, as I and my wife have been working with out-of-home children especially girls since 2009 and raising them as our own children with the best of educational and vocational support.

Wings To Fly by Deepak Sharma

3. The vision of the NGO focuses on girls’ higher education and women's empowerment. How do you handle running it when people outside there try to suppress independent girls and women in the name of feminism, woke, and many more? 

Deepak Sharma: Our girls' higher education program is centered around bright and aspirational girls from economically weaker sections of society. During the 5-6 years of the journey, these girls stay in our program, we have structured modules, workshops, training, etc. for these girls. Apart from this, each girl has a mentor who is always available for guidance and moral support.
We regularly interact with the parents of these girls. Also, we do a lot of work on the mental health of these girls knowing fully well their background and the struggles they undergo.
We also invite senior women executives from across all sectors from time to time to interact with the young Shalinis (empowered women) as we address them.

4. When you discovered your writing passion or did the thought hit your mind that you have to write a book? 

Deepak Sharma: In fact couple of my close friends pushed me to write the book capturing my volunteering journey with Udayan Care as they had seen me giving up my social life for the cause of girls’ education.

5. What challenges did you face while writing "Wings To Fly," and how did you overcome them?

Deepak Sharma: I would say there were hardly any challenges while writing the book. In fact, I had the habit of writing a diary since I got associated with Udayan Care in 2009. Those past notes really buoyed me in recalling so many of the success stories and memorable events over some time. The same has been captured in my book.

Deepak Sharma

6. Many Women claiming themselves successful are also not very supportive of the growth of Girls. So how do you prepare the NGO Girls to face all the wrath, and what tips do you share with them to deal with such suppressors? 

Deepak Sharma: We conduct workshops on topics like mental health, time management, communication skills, employability, leadership skills, career awareness and guidance, Assertive and emotional intelligence, Workplace bias-women’s rights, Problem-solving, conflict management, presentation skills, and many more.
These workshops and corporate visit exposures throughout the 5-6 year period adequately groom them to take up all challenges thrown at them from time to time.

7. How did your Author, Corporate, NGO Volunteer, and Trustee experience influence your perspective on the condition of Modern-day girls and real life? 

Deepak Sharma: I joined Udayan Care in 2009 as a part-time volunteer after working for 30 years in corporate and slowly took up different roles over some time. Finally decided to write the book in 2022. Definitely the same has influenced my perspective on the progress the girls have made over the years. To know more please get a copy of my book Wings To Fly.

8. Can you throw some light on the main characters of the book "Wings to Fly" 

Deepak Sharma: In fact, several characters are central to the book. However, foremost is my late father whose legacy and values inspired me to work for society with the sole intent of giving my time, love, knowledge, and personal wealth back to society. My book Wings To Fly too is dedicated to him. Apart from him, my mother, my wife, and several of my daughters are part of the book. Each one is equally important.

9. "Wings To Fly" deals with important themes. What are you expecting from it when it is about resonating with the lives of people and leaving a long-lasting impact on the hearts and lives of people? 

Deepak Sharma: I have divided the book into three sections, earn and return. The message I want to give to society is that each one is capable of contributing to society in some way. They should all do that especially when they turn 55/60 years of age. As an old maxim in Bhagavad-gita states- We all came empty-handed and will go empty-handed. We in our family are practicing it in letter and spirit.

10. Are there any particular girls or women who have influenced your life journey from corporate to NGO Trustee? 

Deepak Sharma: I was highly influenced by Mother Teresa’s work of service to society. She is my biggest inspiration in terms of service to mankind. I have captured that in my book as well. After I joined Udayan Care, its founder and Managing Trustee Dr. Kiran Modi whom I address as didi became my inspiration.

11. What advice would you give to the future of India about women's empowerment? 

Deepak Sharma: What I would like to state is nothing new. In my view, if India has to become a developed nation, higher education for girls will be the single biggest factor towards reaching that goal. I believe in an old African proverb: If you educate a girl you educate a whole family (nation).
We need more and more women on the Board of Corporate and other important roles and positions.

Have you ever wondered how life and habits change from childhood to adulthood? 

How does your continuous juggling and thinking mode stop you from taking responsibilities and actions and blaming society or others for everything? That, too for your survival mode and existence.

People are often trapped in foggy images and find it hard to digest their reality. People figure out the fault in thinking of others instead of looking within themselves.

"Vagabond: Glimpses of Love for the Tramp" by Lancy Chopra is a poignant and deeply moving exploration of love, loss, and self-discovery. Through the eyes of the book's titular tramp, we are taken on a journey of love, heartbreak, identity, society, and redemption as the narrator wanders the streets and alleys of the city, searching for meaning, connection, and reality.

Society and its beliefs give more relief instead of facing reality. Because it's easier to point fingers at society and blame it for everything, even when no one is questioning you, Vagabond is all about shaking these beliefs and energy. The words can pierce your inner self with compassion and honesty, which you continuously try to ignore. The message of hope and redemption will stay with readers long after they've turned the final page.

At its core, "Vagabond" is a book about the transformative power of love and how people look at life. The narration can touch even the deepest wounds.

Vagabond by Lancy Chopra

Overall, "Vagabond: Glimpses of Love for the Tramp" is a beautifully written and profoundly moving short book that will touch the hearts of all who read it. 

It is highly recommended for anyone looking for a quick read about love, loss, and the power of the human spirit.

Some insights from the Book 

Courage is breaking because I'm on my way to the point of disembarkation that's unknown.

My feet are tired of carrying my own burden. No doctor is needed, nor it is likely that my muscle power is waning. I am medically fit, but still, my body is tired. Perhaps my mind is more tired than my body.

The energy of my mind is not strong enough to do something. I am walking on an obscure path; Why? Maybe on my own quest? No. I am walking not to find but to renounce. I want to lose that existence which has no logic. I want to lose that routine which has no purpose. I used to keep myself in the stylish shoes of successful celebrities, but today I realized how hollow I am from the inside.

Insight from the Book: Vagabond by Lancy Chopra, Image by Monika Singh

I am asking this question from the ocean of feelings within me. I am afraid of the noise of the waves rising inside me because there is so much storm in the sea, but not even two drops of satisfying water can quench my thirst. I am finding it as difficult to find an answer to a question in the turmoil of my emotions as it is to get an old buried needle out of a pile of dry hay. My soul is getting my vagabond from my body, and due to thinking and not finding any path, I am wandering in wanderings.

Although I don't talk much, that doesn't signify I don't value people's sentiments and disregard them. Yes, I have acknowledged and respected the value of time, but hearing individuals' feelings has consistently been part of my assigned position perhaps that's why people believe me honorable of respectful. I was never proud of this attribute, but I used to be satisfied that due to my closemouthed nature, people connected to me in any manner have never been troubled or disturbed - this sense of satisfaction was the only value of my being happy, but today this prideful unless is quivering from its place.

It is well known -that the excess of everything leads you towards destruction. In me, too, my extreme earmark-reserved nature had reached the limit. I used to think that I consistently articulated firmly but politely and never got infuriated. Maybe that's why people love and respect me, but this illusion has also shattered.

Illustration from Book: Vagabond by Lancy Chopra, Image by Monika Singh

These women are so sensitive and poignant, and we consider their emotions as obstacles that come in the way of the momentum of our work. There is no other feeling in the world of these women other than caring for the residents and all the representatives in it. The strangest pleasure in life - caring for someone. 

If our population also learns something from our ladies, if it keeps the same affection for the surrounding citizens, then the development of our native structure will increase two hundred times.
