Relaxation is very different for different people. The idea of relaxation for me is to lie down an afternoon after lunch, in my living room with the doors and windows open and the wind whistling into the house and listening to the sounds outside. It would be perfect if you have family with you all relaxing and enjoying a nice afternoon. The energy I get … Continue reading The time to relax is when you don’t have time for it
Man has always been closely connected to the sea. Be it for food or for travel, it has been an integral part of the history of mankind. I was bought up in a coastal town and the beach was a big attraction in my childhood with its only park and ice cream trolleys and ground nut sellers who gave groundnuts heated in sand and wrapped … Continue reading Even Castles made of sand, fall into the sea, eventually
The other day I saw a very interesting video on Leadership. Leadership in one way is so easy, you just have to follow the right path and the masses will follow you. But there is a small catch, you will have to walk alone a long way before the first person follows you. Not many people are ready for the initial lonely walk, and so … Continue reading A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way
Taking tab of life is a tough job; invariably you end up noting what you have not done and then thinking how you can get that. All that you have now never surfaces.

You complete the list and again take … Continue reading Be Happy, Get success out of your mind!

A while back I had written “The less number of people you know, the less you will be hurt by the truth called Death.” Did not know I would have to write a post like this so soon. Though we all know it will come one day, we often don’t want to face the fact, for life is too lovely to leave behind. For centuries … Continue reading Remembering a Friend
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
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
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
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
