The Real Face of Mata Amritanandamayi ( Never before seen clips! Watch t...
The ability to empathise with the other is the secret of rapport, modern psychology says. Many of us try to help others by listening and empathising with people who suffer. However, our effort falls short when it starts to consume us, when the other's problems are so overwhelming that we have to lose ourselves, give ourselves, out time, and our life to empathise. Most people stop at this point.
We want to continue our little worlds.
However Amma, Mother Amritanandamyi, doesn't stop here. She gives herself without holding back, to share others' sorrows and suffering. That is why people are touched by her.
In this video you can see an incapacitated man, trying to express his feelings (go to 4:20). He can only move his eyes and facial muscles, but just see if they are effective!

Handling Gas Cylinder Leakages in India
You just need to learn how things move here.
Today morning our cooking gas cylinder ran out. We replaced the cylinder and the domestic help continued the cooking.
After she left, my wife complained of gas leakage. I took out the valve and tried to reconnect the cylinder.
In a particular position, it continued to leak gas audibly.
I immediately turned off the cylinder valve.
It was only a month ago that the gas supplier had checked the safety of the gas valve and replaced the tube (at a cost of course)
So, the problem must be with the new cylinder.
The emergency number for gas leakage was on Google. It was on the Indane Website:
I dialled the number on my mobile: first 1906, and then (011) 1906. The time: 13:08.
Tried a few more times in vain.
There was another number at the top:1800 233 3555. I tried that one too.
The response: You seemed to have dialled a wrong number.
The time: 13:06
It is a weekday, Thankfully somebody answered at the local gas distributor's (Indane- Kitchen Aids). They would be sending somebody along.
He came by 14:40, 1 1/2 hours after the call, and fixed it.
The domestic help had not noticed the leak. Thank God that nothing happened while she was cooking.
This means you simply have to keep trying. Eventually somebody is going to respond.

No body takes an emergency gas leakage call!!!
There was no answer.Tried a few more times in vain.
There was another number at the top:1800 233 3555. I tried that one too.

NOTE:
I tried the above emergency numbers later (about an hour later). This time I got a response from an IVR.This means you simply have to keep trying. Eventually somebody is going to respond.
