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

I Could Eat My Body Weight in Sushi

  The first time I had Sushi, I experienced a feeling that would linger on in my mind and taste buds for a long time. Many people from the Indian subcontinent would have experienced this as a result of a very simple folly of misunderstanding wasabi for chutney. After this happened about eight years ago, thanks to two of my friends who saw it all … Continue reading I Could Eat My Body Weight in Sushi

To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved

Life is all about trust, the trust you keep on who is in front of you and what he or she says. The trust in the person behind you who would hold you when you fall back. Trust rebuilds burnt bridges, and instills a pathway for people to pass mind to mind. Trust can make life much more happier than it is and I believe … Continue reading To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved

My Bookstore….

There has never been an age when knowledge has been so much accessible and so many people acquiring it at such a faster pace. Thanks to the internet and the new technology that enables people to share among others. But yet why do I feel sad when I visited the Borders store in my town that was closing out. We had a Borders and a Barnes and Noble (B&N) in our town and we have memories connected to the walls in there.

I did my first open mic at the B&N here and when they closed the writers group moved to borders, but before I could visit there, they too are closing. When I saw the B&N close I said what a miss, not just because it was closing but because I Continue reading “My Bookstore….”

Always recognize that human individuals are ends, and do not use them as means to your end

The other day I was reading a nice explanation on relationships and balancing life. It said that we hold on to things like we hold on to the handle strap in a moving train to keep the balance and avoid falling. In life most of these straps can be traps that can disillusion one from knowing what makes them happy and contented. From the costly … Continue reading Always recognize that human individuals are ends, and do not use them as means to your end

God loved the birds and invented trees. Man loved the birds and invented cages

The world has been debating the existence for a long time and not just the existence, but also the form, powers and character of God and how you reach him or her. I have always felt rather amused by the seriousness man takes in defining something he has not seen and is more a manifestation of his beliefs and upbringing. Now I will get a … Continue reading God loved the birds and invented trees. Man loved the birds and invented cages
