Valley of flowers ( upper Bhyundar Valley )

Last 3 year planning to go fairy land called Valley of flowers also known as upper Bhyundar Valley, But every time there is issue. Well this time also there was issue , but inspired by poem “tumi ekla chalo..” (Walk Alone friend..) Started my journey alone.

About valley

Pushpawati river emerge from Tipar glacier at base of Godhi Parvat ( Peak) flows though valley of flowers and meet Laxman Ganga at Ghanghria and finally in to Alaknanda river in GovindGhat.

Local knew existence about this Bhyundar valley ( Valley of flowers) for centuries also called playground of Fairies and Nymphs . But it not very popular in outside of world , despite huge pligirm visit near by famous temple Badrinath , since 9th Century.


“I hope generously, my ignorance must judge for myself whether the Bhyundar Valley deserves its title the Valley of Flowers. Others will visit it, analyze it and probe it but, whatever their opinions, to me it will remain the ‘Valley of Flowers’ a valley of peace and perfect beauty where the human spirit may find repose” — Frank S.

Points of Power .

With every single person you come into contact, you are either giving love or you're not.And based on what you give, that is what you receive.

Give love to others through kindness,encouragement,support,gratitude,or any good feeling , and it comes back to you multiplied in every area of your life.

Look for the things you love in a relationship more than you notice negative things and it will appear as if something incredible has happened to the other person.

Trying to change another person, thinking you know what is best for another person, thinking you are right and another person is wrong is not giving love !

You have to be happy to receive the happy versions of other people !

The force of love presents you with a whole array of Personal Emotional Trainers, disguised as everyday people, but they are all training you to choose love !

Life is presenting every person and circumstance to you so you can choose what you love and what you don't love.When you react to anything you are reacting with your feelings, and as you do,you are choosing it !

Changing the way you feel is easy compared to running around trying to change the circumstances of the outside world.Change your feelings and the outside circumstances will change !

From the book ''The Power'' by Rhonda Byrne.

boss who makes your life hell

If you have a boss who makes your life hell, then read on to know how to tackle it

Most people can say they have worked for a bad boss. So, if you too are dealing with a similar situation, what can you do to survive?

Get training for your boss

It is possible it's a training problem. Maybe the boss never had any training in leadership, supervision or diversity. Talk to the human resources department. If not, you might need to talk to your boss. Directly, but politely, tell him or her about your needs for timely, specific feedback or goals.

Develop a positive relationship

The boss is more apt to help you if he or she likes you. Of course, depending on what negative things the boss does, this might not be a plausible strategy. If it makes sense to do this, then get to know your boss as a person. The more you understand him or her, the more you might be able to help meet his or her needs and yours as a result.

Understand your boss' moods

While it would be great if we never had to worry about the boss' moods and reactions to things, the reality is that we do need to know these things. Maybe there are certain times such as end-of-the-month number crunching when it would be smart to postpone a talk with the boss. It just means you need to pay attention to your boss and learn how and when to best communicate.

Keep your boss informed

It is important to periodically keep your boss informed about things you are doing to support the department or the firm. Bosses don't know everything that is going on. They do like to hear what you are doing to support their agenda and mission in the firm.

Find a mentor with the company

If you love the nature of your work or your firm but hate your boss, another solution is to develop a mentoring relationship with a manager or peer in another department or part of the company.Mentors can provide the career guidance and visibility you need to help you move forward in the organization. They can also provide you with needed psycho-social support and offer sound advice. HT Delhi 12-SEP-10
