Fashion is a big market, and there are people who follow it as well as those who don’t follow it. Fashion is often connected with the rich, famous and the high profiled, but the industry survives only because the masses enroll. There are trend setters and then they are people who recognize trends and capitalize on it. How much of fashion do you need to … Continue reading Before it becomes a fashion, you have to style it to be one
Every day is a new day and to know that we don’t need a lot of mathematical calculations. But what is different is that every new day comes with a new set of challenges and a different set of past day baggage. Unless of course your life is a string of well defined predictable moments collected to a 24 hours time frame. That does not … Continue reading Every day is a new day; but is it a balanced day?
I don’t know if any of you cry like you were as kids. The other day my wife said that I cried in my sleep. Well this is not something people often admit publicly, but it was interesting to note how we look at crying as an evidence of weakness. Forget about sleep, but we often hold back tears just to show we are strong … Continue reading Tears are the safety valve of the heart when too much pressure is laid on it
Video games or stuffed animals are a big industry and the more the kids become choosy the bigger gets the industry.

And if you show him how you made … Continue reading There are toys for all ages and I love the ones you don’t get in the shop
Is there a specific age when you lose your sense of wonder? The wow factor that we hold on so dearly as kids. An age from when on we kind of get used to things around us. I am not talking about the huge waterfalls or the rainbow or the stars and skies, but even simple thing as the morning on a new day. The … Continue reading It is Good Morning Outside

Again … Continue reading Allow your mind to wander and ask questions; don’t bother about the answers
A day ago I crossed my fiftieth post on my 100 days to 40. It feels good and over the fifty odd days I have touched on many things that matter to me and how it would matter to me in the future. I am also overwhelmed by the response I got from people unknown as well as friends and family who visit this site. … Continue reading You don’t need to know a lot of words to start writing
I am not a spiritual person and have never been one in my life, but the thought of spirituality without the existence of a supreme intelligence was too hard to ignore. If you love theories and philosophies, you will love this exploration. Though I found much of the spiritual aspects very rigid and impractical for a guy like me, I always loved the concept of … Continue reading There is always a search, a journey into the heart of the truth
Memories are what makes us enjoy many things in life. Today I went out to see Laurel and Hardy. We have the Essanay silent film museum, very close to our house. Essanay is one of the oldest film studios and the home of all the silent billy bronco western movies as well as a few Charlie Chaplin movies and more famously the place where ‘The … Continue reading Watch Laurel & Hardy and go laugh out loud
I am often the loudest in a group and if it is after a couple of drinks then you can imagine. But then I am not unaware of how important silence could be. I have tried a few times and failed to be silent when I wanted. Nevertheless I keep trying and hopefully I will understand silence before the realities in life force it on … Continue reading Silence and stillness forces things to speak and move towards you
