There are three stages of a man’s life: He believes in Santa Claus, he doesn’t believe in Santa Claus, he is Santa Claus

This weekend I was out in the city with family walking through china town. It was a pretty long walk for our 4 year old though. Towards evening, that too after having walked all the way he looked at me and put his hands up and said “Take me”. I smiled, took him on my shoulder and we moved on. What interested me was that … Continue reading There are three stages of a man’s life: He believes in Santa Claus, he doesn’t believe in Santa Claus, he is Santa Claus

The greatest mistake you can make in life is to continually be afraid you will make one

Mistakes! The smart learn from it, the courageous own up theirs, and the Morons don’t make any. I have made many, so can assume I am not a moron. Smart and courageous well that might not have been always the case either, but a clarity of one out of three is not bad. It is nice to see how we deal with mistake, both ours … Continue reading The greatest mistake you can make in life is to continually be afraid you will make one

Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes

Freedom is something you realize when you don’t have it, just like breathing which you notice only when you are short of it. Freedom also applies differently to people and some even make differentiation between freedom and ultimate freedom, though I am not sure what is the yard stick they use to measure it. I have been so fortunate to be born in a free … Continue reading Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes

Men who never get carried away should be.

How many times in life have I been carried away by emotions and many times I have realized that I have found there was a better way of doing it. It is true that at times we are controlled by our emotions, or most of the time it is the emotion we show that defines us, at least for people who know us. He is … Continue reading Men who never get carried away should be.

Those who have knowledge, don’t predict. Those who predict, don’t have knowledge

Predictability is what man always pursues so he can be sure of what is ahead. I am not sure how man gets so fixated with managing stuffs. Sometimes I feel it is because of the fear of things going wrong. The majority of people hate surprises that are not funny and good. But the fact is that however man tries he has absolutely no clue … Continue reading Those who have knowledge, don’t predict. Those who predict, don’t have knowledge

I want to be what I was when I wanted to be what I am now

How true it is that we grow out of innocence and goodness into being guilty of being badness. And when we look at kids we think they are wrong and not us. A few years ago I had created a list of things we can do as adults that can remind us of our childhood. The common element in the whole list was regaining the … Continue reading I want to be what I was when I wanted to be what I am now

Morality which depends upon the helplessness of a man or woman has not much to recommend it. Morality is rooted in the purity of our hearts

Not a positive note but I thought it was important to write this as people often find themselves in situations where they know they feel so helpless and weak to respond or find a solution. The feeling of helplessness is one of severe pain where a person finds all his knowledge, wit, might and ability incapable of restoring normalcy. Some instances are where people become … Continue reading Morality which depends upon the helplessness of a man or woman has not much to recommend it. Morality is rooted in the purity of our hearts

There is no delight in owning anything unshared

Today we watched the movie Rango and was great fun to see a western animated movie. Reminded me of the good, the bad and ugly days 🙂 when great movies were made. What touched my heart was not what I saw on the screen, but what happened inside the theatre. Before the movie started, I saw two kids climbing up the stairs and the ender … Continue reading There is no delight in owning anything unshared
