The urge to shout obscenity can be quenched only by doing it; do it, don’t hold back

I have always had an attraction to using bad language but have seen many of my friends who used to do so frequently in normal communications moving away from it as they grew older. Now nearing 40 years I admit that I still use that foul language skills when ever I get a chance. I guess many of the people I know roll their eyes … Continue reading The urge to shout obscenity can be quenched only by doing it; do it, don’t hold back

To live life to the fullest you have to be fearless to trust the person next to you

“It is a jungle out there” I have heard that many times. The usage was more common when someone had to tell that you should be ruthless. But I always imagined how the jungle would be if everyone there became ruthless. I agree that the advice was to ensure that you survived against all odds, but also it was an advice that finally meant being … Continue reading To live life to the fullest you have to be fearless to trust the person next to you

Life is not just a journey of learning; it is also a journey of unlearning

It is interesting to note that everything we are now is the result of an evolution. Just like how man evolved from what he was before to how a person evolves over his life time. Long ago I read somewhere that we keep our couches normally facing the front door for a reason. If not facing the front door, I have found that we often … Continue reading Life is not just a journey of learning; it is also a journey of unlearning

If you had two jobs, one hard and boring and other easy and fun, which would you do first and why?

As a kid once I asked my mom and dad, if they had two jobs one easy and fun and the other hard and boring, which would they choose to do first and why. I am not sure why I asked that, probably I was in a dilemma with two tasks I was asked to do by someone. What interested me was how differently my … Continue reading If you had two jobs, one hard and boring and other easy and fun, which would you do first and why?

No Job is good enough unless you say Good Job!!

I was looking at my posts in the past days and found that most of it had a rather serious bend always. It is not that life is always serious; it is just that the serious stuff bubbles up faster. Today on a lighter side I wanted to mention about something that many of us would have experienced. I am not sure how many of … Continue reading No Job is good enough unless you say Good Job!!

I wish to be untrained always for my mind to remain fresh to transform itself to anything

There is someone I know who interestingly feel I have always been on the wrong track with everything in life :). So much was the feeling that he often raised his assumptions and discoveries with other close friends of ours. And some how I got to hear about it. It was such an amusement for me for the next few times I met him. This … Continue reading I wish to be untrained always for my mind to remain fresh to transform itself to anything

We should wake up everyday and thank those who guarded us at night

As the less strong slept inside the cave, the stronger took turns and stayed awake guarding against wild animals and other predators. Man had come a long way from defending just himself to becoming a social animal safeguarding people near and dear. In those times however the imminent danger was for his and his group alone and he did not have a broader vision or … Continue reading We should wake up everyday and thank those who guarded us at night

It is a tough world ahead and the only way to survive is being GOOD

A few decades ago it was true when you say that hundred years from now, probably no one will know that you ever existed, unless you do something grandiosely good or outrageously bad and that was publicized or written about. This thought helps in one way to take this life easier and enjoy it when you have it. But the scenario has changed a bit … Continue reading It is a tough world ahead and the only way to survive is being GOOD

Hurt leads to bitterness, bitterness to anger, travel too far that road and the way is lost

Every separation has its own bitterness that always taints memories, but time is such a big healer that if we let it do its job, it will bring the earth and sky together to clean things up for you. I have seen my fair share of separations and break ups in my life, friends, family and other people I know. Though I have not seen … Continue reading Hurt leads to bitterness, bitterness to anger, travel too far that road and the way is lost

If you want to feel rich, just count the things you have that money can’t buy

Would this world have been different if Gandhi, Martin Luther King and Mother Teresa been in the pursuit of wealth? Or let me rephrase would we have had a better world if that had happened? Would anyone of us trade our world for that one? I won’t for sure This world has been positively shaped by those who pursued many things other than wealth. People … Continue reading If you want to feel rich, just count the things you have that money can’t buy
