Those who have knowledge, don’t predict. Those who predict, don’t have knowledge

Predictability is what man always pursues so he can be sure of what is ahead. I am not sure how man gets so fixated with managing stuffs. Sometimes I feel it is because of the fear of things going wrong. The majority of people hate surprises that are not funny and good. But the fact is that however man tries he has absolutely no clue … Continue reading Those who have knowledge, don’t predict. Those who predict, don’t have knowledge

I want to be what I was when I wanted to be what I am now

How true it is that we grow out of innocence and goodness into being guilty of being badness. And when we look at kids we think they are wrong and not us. A few years ago I had created a list of things we can do as adults that can remind us of our childhood. The common element in the whole list was regaining the … Continue reading I want to be what I was when I wanted to be what I am now

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.

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

Every day I stand in awe as I … Continue reading An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs

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
