UE Vijay Sharma - Saint of Colours and WordsWhen a soul aspires to raise itsenergy levels, then nothing on theearth can stop that energy toreach at destined levels. Onesuch personality is UE VijaySharma. Vijay Sharma was bornin BANGA (Shaheed BhagatSingh Nagar) - a small beautifultown in state of PUNJAB in INDIAto the parents Smt. RajRani and Sh. SuvdeshSharma on 6th April1967. He completed hisinitial education fromShri Guru HargobindKhalsa High SchoolBanga. He won 1st class1st University GoldMedal in B Sc II whilestudying in Sikh NationalCollege Banga. Continu-ing his education journeyhe completed his gradu-ation in Mechanical Engi-neering from GuruNanak Engineering Col-lege Ludhiana. He com-pleted MBA (TechnologyManagement) from LaTraub University Aus-tralia. He is still continu-ing his education journeynow by pursuing Ph.D inBusiness Managementfrom Charles Strut Uni-versity Australia. His lifepartner is Mrs. ManinderSharma and family is blessed withdaughter Ms Naman Sharma;who is pursuing her Graduation inMechanical Engineering fromPune.He started playing with coloursright from childhood by drawingcharcoal/pencil sketches of Bha-gat Singh on home walls of rela-tives and friends. Today thoselines have grown up and so thecolours. This growth of his art isso beautiful in content and glorythat his paintings are part of vari-ous exhibitions across the globe.Like his paintings alone were notenough; he describes his eachpainting into a beautiful poem.You can feel the soul of paintingand poem singing same songalike. Sometimes he makes paint-ing first and then write a poem onthat and reverse is equally true. Inaddition he creates individualpoems also. In his poetry he ex-presses his thoughts by imbibingthe soul of thought into body ofwords; expressed as a poem;which he speaks out in his uniqueemotional style in various poeticgatherings. I take this opportunityto introduce the thoughts of thispersonality named as UE VijaySharma straight to you.Sharma Ji what you didafter compelting stud-ies and what was yourobjective of life?After completing my engineeringgraduation I served automotive in-dustry for 20 years. Starting fromtrainee engineer; I went up to beChief Executive officer in this in-dustry. The dream of my profes-sional life was to own an industry.I started my own manufacturingcompany in Industrial Capital of
India, CHAKAN PUNE on 2ndJanuary 2009. Now for last 6years this company has build upits position for manufacturing orig-inal parts for various car makers.What is the significanceof “UE” in front of yourname ?
My creations are the result of HISBLESSINGS. HE blessed me tounderstand the ways in which HEis operating this universe. Now Ihave absolutely stopped sayingthat I KNOW about this thing / thatthing in totality. Now I havelearned to live in HIS WAYS. Weall live our entire life in all secondsin a state of motion. Though attimes we may feel that we aresleeping or we are running or weare resting a bit – but reality is thatall of us are a very micro part of alarge multiple numbers of cycloni-cal waves of varying degrees anddirections. Right from childhood Iwas so concerned in my mind thatthis large ball called as EARTH isin rotation at all times, at a speedof 1660 km/hour around its axis.Earth while rotating around itsaxis is also rotating around SUNat a speed of 10800 km/hr. Sur-prising motions is still to comewhen we understand that SUNcarrying all these rotating superheavy balls (earth is one of them)is rotating in its milky way at aspeed of 82800 km/hr. Furtherthis Milky Way along with loads ofmany a SUN’s and their familymembers (ALL are in ROTATION)is moving and expanding in UNI-VERSE.Nothing is stationary here. Every-thing is moving and is in a state ofDYNAMISM. Everything in theuniverse is DYNAMIC. This wholeuniverse is in a state of dynamicmotion at every micro second.Everything in this universe is evermoving and ever expanding. Whyall these super heavy and suchlarge entities are rotating, movingand expanding. Everything in mo-tion still in harmony. This harmonynever breaks. When I see to me;then my movements, my rotations
seems very very micro in front ofthese huge universal movements.
Being a student of sci-ence all along; I have been think-ing of understanding in simpleterms this connects between mymovements and these UNIVER-SAL movements. With this I es-tablished my soul’s bond withthese colours of nature by under-standing and visualizing clearly ona much larger CANVAS that ALLTHIS is CONNECTED; that towithout any ROPE. Whatis all this? Why thesethings (me and universalentities) are rotating?Who is rotating all ofUS? This is the pointwhere religion and sci-ence appears of con-verging to one thought.Religion names thisGOD, Science calls itENERGY. This thing issure that all of this (meand entire universe andits dynamism) belongs toONE SOURCE. For tril-lions of years this EN-ERGY is continuallymoving/rotating/expand-ing this universe. Whenwe in depths of our mindunderstand the secret ofmovements happeningin UNIVERSE; then un-derstanding the move-ments of a manbecomes a very verysmall thing. This self re-alization comes so natu-rally that we are nothingbut a part of a very hugeand large family.
This whole con-nects of various univer-sal entities and theirmovements are happen-ing because of magnetic energy.This whole game is constructed inmagnetic cycles of this energy.This game is happening for lasttrillions of years. But humans arecaught up in a totally different ballgame created by their ignorantminds. Some groups are carryingthe load of their 5000 years old re-ligion. Some groups are baskingin glory of their 20000 old reli-gions; while some of them 50000years old …..Under so much ofheavy pseudo load is the humanmind that he has totally forgottenthe REAL CREATOR.
I have left my mind freeto roam in HIS WAYS – HIS RO-TATIONS – HIS DECISIONS.Now I am at so much of easewhile roaming in his creations notonly on this planet but practicallyacross the universe. Once I haveunderstood that I am just a smallpart of HIS creation only but I amvery much a part of HIS FAMILY.Then with this enlightenment; Ihave forgotten the pseudo namesand relationships given to me.Once I understood my move-ments are a part of UNIVERSALENERGY, I dissolved my humanname into HIS WILL and startedknowing me as UNIVERSAL EN-ERGY (UE). If we can name our-selves in name of our villages,parents, streets, countries and re-
ligions; then why can’t we nameourselves in relation to the ulti-mate UNIVERSAL ENERGY?With these simple thoughts I havegiven my recognition to myself inform of “UE” - UNIVERSAL EN-ERGY and with this I bow in frontof GARGANTUAN UNIVERSEand have bathed my energy inHIS COLOURS.
What you express in
your writings and paint-ings ?
My mind understands universalmovements and to live in HISWILL. This very basic under-standing is the source of creationfor all my writings and paintingsand this will remain so forever.Once you have imbibed his soul-ful feelings into your soul; thenwhatever will be created out ofthat mind has to be nothing butthe ultimate truth. This can comeout in any form; may be in form ofwords or colours. My every paint-ing and writing has a responsibil-ity to be fulfilled. Thisresponsibility is that my eachpainting / writing should not be forpleasing viewer’s/listener’s - eyes/ears; rather each painting / writ-ing has to travel a journey fromviewer’s/listener’s - eyes /ears tohis soul in form of a Spiritual Sen-timent and become thence forth apart of his soul. This feeling gen-erated by this spiritual sentimenthas a responsibility to enhanceand enlighten the life of itsviewer/listener.My every painting and writing hasthis responsibility that by lighten-ing the soul of viewer/listener itbrings loads of happiness to hislife. I strive very hard to ensurethat my every painting / writing is
a LIVING BEING and this feel ofLIVINGNESS has to be passedonto the soul of its viewer/listener.My colours and words are boundto create cyclones in your soul.Have you created anyart gallery with yourpaintings / writings ?I have decorated all my creationsbeautifully in self owned artgallery in city of PUNE (Maha-rashtra INDIA). This art gallery
has been named “Karma & Love”.My energy speaks to me veryclearly that every living being hasbeen given birth at a particularplace at a particular time for a par-ticular purpose. This is our basicresponsibility that we completeHIS given works with all our dedi-cation and be happy in HISwishes. HE expects only twothings from us in life – Karma &Love – One we do true and pureKARMA - second we LOVE all hisentities equally. With this purethought this place HE gave to meto take care this lifetime – I namedin HIS name – Karma & Love.Can you please tellabout lots of poetry youhave written ?I have expressed my feelings inPunjabi, Hindi and English lan-guages. Very soon I am going torelease my first book on PunjabiPoetry.Thank you very much UE – wewish for further growth of yourthoughts and their expressions inform of colours / words. Godbless you.
Plan a sober ride homeMADD Canada and Allstate Canadawant to thank the millions of peoplewho are doing their part to end im-paired driving."So many people have made thecommitment to never drive impaired,and they take that responsibility seri-ously," said MADD Canada NationalPresident AngelikiSouranis. "Theyplan ahead for alternate transporta-tion, and they share the sober drivingmessage with family and friends. Weare truly grateful to all those who aredoing their part to prevent impaireddriving."Sadly, though, far too many peoplecontinue to drive after drinking, risk-ing their own safety and the safety ofeveryone on the road with them. In2012, nearly 60,000 Canadian driv-ers were charged with impaired driv-ing offences."For anyone who thinks it is no bigdeal to drive impaired, consider theconsequences," said Souranis."Every year between 1,250 and1,500 are killed and 63,000 are in-jured in impairment-related crashes.This is not a victim-less crime."
So this year – whether your plans in-volve going out to a party or having aquiet celebration with family andfriends – make a resolution to have asober ride home if you're going to bedrinking. Take a cab, take public tran-sit, arrange a designated driver orplan to stay over."Impaired driving crashes are com-pletely, 100 per cent preventable,"said Allstate Insurance Company ofCanada President and CEO John O'-Donnell. "Before going out to a cele-bration, decide how you are gettinghome safely. It only takes a few min-utes and it could save a life. Let'sstart the new year right."For those hosting parties, some sim-ple precautions can help ensure noone drives away from your next gath-ering impaired:r Have food and non-alcohol/low al-cohol beverages available.r Serve drinks yourself, rather thanhaving guests serve themselves, soyou can monitor how much yourguests are drinking.r Don't serve alcohol to anyone whois intoxicated.
r Know how your guests are gettinghome and who is driving. Have num-bers available for taxi companies ordial #TAXI on your cell phone. Beprepared to have intoxicated guestsspend the night.r Stop serving alcohol long beforeyou expect the party to break up.r Keep track of your own alcoholconsumption. The more you drink,the more difficult it will be for you toanticipate problems, supervise theevent and intervene to avoid poten-tial problems.Party hosts looking for non-alcoholbeverage options to serve can con-sider MADD Virgin Drinks, which areavailable at participating supermar-kets, drugstores and other retailers oronline at www.maddvirgindrinks.com;or check out www.deflatetheele-phant.com for non-alcohol drinkrecipes.Finally, MADD Canada and AllstateCanada are encouraging motorists tobe aware of other drivers and if theysee any driver they suspect is im-paired, call 911. One call could savea life.

Draught-proofing is one of the cheapest and mostefficient ways to save energy - and money - in anytype of building.Both draughts and ventilation let fresh air into yourhome, but good ventilation helps reduce condensa-tion and dampness. Draughts are uncontrolled: theylet in too much cold air and waste too much heat.To draught-proof your home you should block upunwanted gaps that let cold air in and warm air out.Saving warm air means you'll use less energy to heatyour home, so you'll save money as well as makingyour home snug and pleasant.Draught-proofing around windows and doors willresult in savings on your energy bill each year.Draught-free homes are comfortable at lower tem-peratures - so you'll be able to turn down your ther-mostat. This could save you another 10 per cent offyour heating bill.Draughts happen where there are unwanted gaps inthe construction of your home, and where openings
are left uncovered.You ? ll find draughts at any accidental gap in yourhome that leads outside, such as:• Windows• doors - including keyholes and letterboxes• loft hatches• electrical fittings on walls and ceilings• suspended floorboards• pipework leading outside• ceiling-to-wall jointsYou should block most of these - but be careful inareas that need good ventilation, such as:• areas where there are open fires or open flues• rooms where a lot of moisture is produced, suchas the kitchens, bathrooms, and utility roomsIf you're happy carrying out simple DIY tasks,draught-proofing will be no problem. However,some homes, especially older homes with singleglazing, will be more difficult to draught-proof. Pro-fessional draught-proofing is likely to save more en-ergy because the installer will know exactly the rightmaterials to use and where to use them.
