52.0 Our Bodies Are Beautiful With Skin. But It Is A Walking Trash Bag. Secrets Revealed.

Though I wanted to write about some memorable incidents related to tours I went just after the blog posts of Trips, it did not work for an unknown reason. Several other topics came to mind, and I worked on them.  I was in a hurry to complete those topics first, though I had unforgettable stories. Sometimes I cannot understand the way that my mind is working on. Sometimes it is like opening twenty to thirty browser tabs and waiting for loading those pages. I don’t know. How about you?  I hope you all have peaceful minds than mine. Isn’t it? Power Of The Mind!

As you know, I wanted to monetize this blog by applying advertisements in the free spaces here. Now, you can see some of them in the footer and right side of the page. I hope it does not disturb you. However, I need a considerable amount of traffic to get effective advertisements, and for the moment it is not enough. I wanted to give up this job when thinking about traffic matters. But I did not do that and still work on my blog. I'm thinking about good topics that I can work on. I hope one day I will have enough readers. 

I would kindly request you to share my blog with others if you enjoy the post. I think I put my maximum effort to generate a quality outcome. However, you are the one who knows it well, irrespective of my effort. 

Positive Feedback! I received feedback from my lovely readers via the comments. Some friends gave positive feedback regarding the content and user-friendliness of the site. Some of them mentioned a few issues regarding the page. They could not see the uploaded images. If there is such an issue, clearing the cache is the best thing to do, if it did not work by refreshing the page. Some friends thanked me. I hope they enjoyed the post. Some of them went through my posts, after the recommendation of their parents and colleagues. Once they told me that, it made me proud. 

Every time once I got such feedback, I thought to deliver a quality post that useful for others. If you went through my last few posts, those mentioned the real adventurous type incidents I faced when using Taxies. I hope sharing that information would help someone. Sometimes you would think that what is the purpose of sharing these things with us. So, I wanted to avoid that thought. 

Therefore, I'm trying my best to provide something useful. Apart from that type of feedback, some friends gave some suggestions. As they asked, I mentioned some of my social media links on the "Contact" page. One friend asked me to upload some videos. That was the thing that I could not make. Sorry... Though I thought it was a good suggestion, I did not do that yet. But you may have to hear my voice. Lol... If you would like to point out your views regarding that video thing, please do tell me. 

A friend asked me to change the topics. Earlier it went as "Trips -Part 01", "Trips -Part 02", etc... Furthermore, that friend asked me to analyze the topics in sites like "Yahoo". So, I'm providing this review by summarizing your feedback, to get more responses and suggestions from you. I can improve my blog by implementing your views. Here, I would like to thank my all friends who read, comment and share my posts.

Holy Land Pilgrimage! Apart from that review, here I wanted to point out some memories regarding the tours we went out of the country. The first tour was a pilgrimage, and it took twelve days as I remembered. That tour, I went with one of my friends and her mother. There were about forty people in our team. As it was the very first journey, I went out of the country, there was a lot of preparation. As well as it was an exciting journey for me and my friend. I could say that we were waiting for that day. Apart from my friend and her mother, the rest of the crowd was unknown people. We three did not know anyone. But after one day all of them were friendly with us. 

Among the crowd, there was a granny who was in her eighties. She came alone, and her children spent money on her pilgrimage. She had the confidence to go on a journey with unknown people. On the very first day, she wanted to find out a suitable companion for her. Therefore, she talked to everyone. Everyone helped her to walk and complete her journey by providing their attention. She was the granny of everyone.  As this was a pilgrimage, there were no fun memories, and I could say that it was an uncomfortable tour. As it was scheduled for twelve days, the organizing team arranged all the necessary places to visit within that time.

Toilet Trouble! Therefore, all of us had to wake up early in the morning like 3-4 a.m. to complete long-distance journeys. We traveled by bus, and some journeys took the entire day. So, those were tired journeys with the hot climate, and it was not convenient for some elders. The main issue we all ladies had was the toilets. Sometimes, we found out a toilet after informing our needs to others. 

But it took a long time to find out a toilet, and those places also not in good condition to use. Once we were waiting in the toilet queue, we could not reach there even because of the bad smell. At that time, we were helpless, and I could not think why people do not have any ethics and behaviors as human beings. So, one aunt understood the problem we faced and she asked me to bear up the bad smell and go there. 

The Human Body! She asked us to think about the reality of our human body. Once we threw our excrements, now it has gone. But we cannot bear up its smell even. So, how about the condition of inner things that we have not yet thrown. Therefore, the human body is like a walking garbage bag. 

That was her instruction and it helped us to use that toilet. Lol... After that, most of our ladies also used to go out as males. Because of this issue, most of the people's toilet was the outside that consists of some shrubs. So, there were pigs too, and they used to eat the excrements of humans. If you are a pork lover, think about their stomachs and eating habits now before taken them for your meals. Lol...

However, it did not work for me, and I could say that many suffered a lot because of that problem. As a solution, I did not drink water daytime and had water in the night. Some of the other ladies also followed up the same procedure as a solution. However, it was not an easy thing to do because of the hot climate.

Our organizing team did not let us have meals from outside to avoid stomach aches. There were two chefs to prepare our meals. So, it went well. However, some of them could not resist having food from outside. So, they had to suffer, and they could not visit some ancient places. I bought some medicine for headaches, stomachaches, and wounds. So, some of them told me that those medicines worked for them. However, that granny went well without any issue luckily. She was healthy during the entire journey.

42.0 Be Smart To Manage Your Thoughts.

As I told you some horror movies not horror movies for us, especially when all of us cousins watched it. Actually, it was enough to have one cousin and not required the participation of all. Most of the times my father's elder brother's daughter was my movie partner. Her husband also joined us when there was a movie that was in the preferred category of three of us.
 

So, if he did not like we two went to the movie theatre. One day we went to watch 'Dracula movie. It was one of the very first versions, I guess. Somehow, it showed in the movie theaters in Sri Lanka. We two idiots also wanted to watch that movie for an unknown reason. Lol... We watched the 7.30 p.m. movie after leaving the office. However, the movie hall was not crowded and, there were many free seats.

As one of my friends said, it was not a scary one except only one thing. Though it was the only scary thing I could not forget it for a long time. As you know 'Dracula was the reason for the death of many young girls. But their deaths did not bring sorrow or fear for us. Some deaths and rebirths made us laugh. Lol... However, that scene was a terrific one. 

In that scene when one girl was standing in front of the mirror, 'Dracula appeared suddenly and hugged her crazily. That sudden appearance of 'Dracula made me crazy and it increased my heartbeat as well. In some situations, we could imagine the next scene as per our movie experiences. But here this was a totally unexpected scene for me. So, I excited and it scared me a lot.

  

However, it was the only thing that I can remember. I could not remember the entire story of the movie. So, once it's finished, we two came out and took the lift to go down. There were a few boys who came out after watching the movie. 

On the way to the ground floor, we two laughed for some movie scenes. At that time, one boy saw my weird tooth, which adjusted as 'Dracula's one at the corner of the mouth. Though it was not sharp like 'Dracula's tooth, it highlighted when I was laughing. Not smiling. Lol... So, at that time, he yelled to his friends and said that 'Hey, just now I saw the real 'Dracula's tooth. See, this is the scariest one. It embarrassed me a lot and at that time, my sister also acted as one of their companions. Lol…

In such one night, we went to watch 'Iron Man. On that day, a few of my cousins were there. I could not remember the reason. It was a free movie show and scheduled to start at 9.00 p.m. The organizing committee informed the delay and, asked to stay for an additional hour. Though some of the cousins wanted to go back, the majority wanted to watch the movie. 

Finally, it started at 10.30 p.m. and finished around 12.30 a.m. As it was our cousins' crowd, parents did not follow us. At the time when we were finishing it, all of us were very tired as all of us came after office hours. So, we wanted to go back home quickly. The very few who did not want to watch the movie blamed us by remembering their next work schedules. Therefore, everyone was in different mental statuses. 

When we were going back to the car park, suddenly we saw a couple. They were weird and, both of them wore totally black clothes and, their skin color was very dark. They wore heavy silver jewelry. There was very heavy jewelry in their neck, ear, nose, hand, and legs. They two were like thieves and their behaviors also weird. Their sudden appearance made us laugh and we hardly manage it as they also came with us in the lift. When we went to the car park, we saw their car. It was also a black one. Their appearance brought me to another planet. I felt like that 'Am I on the earth now?. If we had to stay with them for an additional few minutes, definitely that boy would hit all of us. Lol...

However, once I started the journey of being conscious of my own thoughts, the idea I had about movies changed a bit. Actually, I don't know how do you grasp this view. But I would like to explain that view as I think it will help someone. As well as I wanted to say that even though I have not fully aware of my thoughts yet. 

Sometimes I'm daydreaming. Sometimes, I could not manage my thoughts and played the worst scenario. However, I'm trying. I believe that practice will help me on one day to increase the awareness of my own thoughts. You know that when you are looking at someone and observing their behaviors they cannot cheat you. The same thing will be applied to your mind as well. Then it is not dragging you towards the unnecessary thoughts, sorrows, and daydreams. You will be staying in the present moment. You know what does come to your mind, and with that awareness, there won't no space for that thought to build sub thoughts. I think you can imagine this peacefull situation of your mind when you have suffered from overthinking.

As you all know sorrow, fear, anger, and unpleasantness are belonging to sins as those thoughts are not clean things in our minds. So, as we discussed movies here if we take a fight scene as an example, we would like to see the victory of our hero and expect the death of the other one. In such a situation if you can observe your honest thoughts, you can see that how do you expect death or revenge. In that case, our thoughts go towards the anger side. A few years back, that was my status. Sometimes this may be different when compared with you. 

So by unknowingly those thoughts are coming to our mind. We are getting attached to the things and people we saw.  It also contributions to our next egos and at each moment, we are creating our next egos. So, if you think about a movie you watched, it is a collection of all those thoughts. That's why we laugh, cry, and get angry when we were watching a movie. The thing I wanted to tell you here is being aware of your thoughts could make an inner peace. When you know your thoughts, the mind does not let you go towards the anger side and the attraction side.  

However, I know that this is not a clear explanation for you. I could say that I have tried to explain something. If you are a Sri Lankan, you can search 'Abhidharmaya - Ven 'Thiththagalle Anandasiri Thero for more information. Please forgive me if you could not understand. Just forget the last paragraphs and enjoy the rest.
