Be Independent, but understand your dependency

To be independent has been the goal of every man and women, be it financially or emotionally, but the facts are far from that and we turn out to be both emotionally and financially dependent on others and the system. Not just financial and emotional dependence, but also technology, processes, situations, lifestyle. We are a bunch of closely held ‘Can’t exist alone’ group of life … Continue reading Be Independent, but understand your dependency

It is always Good and Bad, Not what your Faith is

The Popular thought is that the world is made up of atheists and believers; while that might be true, atheists can be of two types as well. Interestingly both have a big difference in how they approach the world and the people in it. One group out rightly rejects the existence of God or a supreme power and with the help of science and logic … Continue reading It is always Good and Bad, Not what your Faith is

Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget

Friendship would need a much larger post to give complete justice to the topic. But my birthday countdown would be so incomplete if I don’t put a small piece for it. May be I will have a larger post some other day. I have been fortunate to have friends every walk of my life. Some of them I have made as part of new turns … Continue reading Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget

It is the small things that make the big differences

Unless you stop getting it you never think that air (oxygen) and breathing are essential for life. Air is one such thing that if you don’t get for a prolonged duration, there is no much reason getting it later as you will not be alive to feel or witness it. But there are so many other things in life that you realize only when the … Continue reading It is the small things that make the big differences

The Only way to help yourself is to believe in yourself

But even with such a market for self help books, people flock in front of self proclaimed healers and magic men and women who claim to eradicate whatever is bothering you. If self-help books would … Continue reading The Only way to help yourself is to believe in yourself

Religions should be studied without God in Mind

How would study of religions be different if we take out God out of the equation? This poses two questions. Firstly why do you need it without God? And secondly why is religion relevant to be studied? Let me try to answer the second question first. The relevance of religion and beliefs in human civilization are so high that you can’t understand man without knowing what has over the years shaped his mind. From fears, to laws, to cultures to wars, religions have played a major role. The future is also much the same and we are seeing more and more people trying to identify them with religions and trying to communicate with others through it. This in due course can create a vast gap among people and if more people are open to learn religion in a new light the more things can get closer. I strongly feel that this would be a better solution that promoting an outright rejection of religion.

Now for the first question, when you remove God from the equation, the whole thing becomes a philosophy which can be Continue reading “Religions should be studied without God in Mind”

You’re never too old to become younger

Maturity is great thing to have, but being polished should have its limits. If it happen at the risk of losing your youthfulness, I say don’t go that way. Etiquette is a big thing when it comes to business, but it also becomes a big issue when it comes to personal relationships. But some take it too far and put too many restrictions on communication. … Continue reading You’re never too old to become younger
