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.

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

There are three stages of a man’s life: He believes in Santa Claus, he doesn’t believe in Santa Claus, he is Santa Claus

This weekend I was out in the city with family walking through china town. It was a pretty long walk for our 4 year old though. Towards evening, that too after having walked all the way he looked at me and put his hands up and said “Take me”. I smiled, took him on my shoulder and we moved on. What interested me was that … Continue reading There are three stages of a man’s life: He believes in Santa Claus, he doesn’t believe in Santa Claus, he is Santa Claus

The greatest mistake you can make in life is to continually be afraid you will make one

Mistakes! The smart learn from it, the courageous own up theirs, and the Morons don’t make any. I have made many, so can assume I am not a moron. Smart and courageous well that might not have been always the case either, but a clarity of one out of three is not bad. It is nice to see how we deal with mistake, both ours … Continue reading The greatest mistake you can make in life is to continually be afraid you will make one

Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes

Freedom is something you realize when you don’t have it, just like breathing which you notice only when you are short of it. Freedom also applies differently to people and some even make differentiation between freedom and ultimate freedom, though I am not sure what is the yard stick they use to measure it. I have been so fortunate to be born in a free … Continue reading Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes

Men who never get carried away should be.

How many times in life have I been carried away by emotions and many times I have realized that I have found there was a better way of doing it. It is true that at times we are controlled by our emotions, or most of the time it is the emotion we show that defines us, at least for people who know us. He is … Continue reading Men who never get carried away should be.
