It's been sometime since I caught up here..No, I was not busy. Incidently , I hurt myself in one of my eyes, and was sure ,  would not look proper to write something with one eye... I am not a soldier of Fortune... " It's often enough to be with someone. I don't need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You're not alone "  - Marilyn Monroe I am a bit too emotional . But emotions come and go and can't be controlled , so there's no reason to worry about them. It takes energy, generosity and discipline to be unfailingly light-hearted , yet everyone takes the happy person for granted . No one is careful of his feelings or tries to keep his spirits high. And thus that person usually gets no credit. Saddest thing about people  - most important thoughts and feelings often went unspoken and barely understood. We are stronger than we think , don't let life take the win so easily. We were meant to stand out. If you...

Thanks Praseeda for sharing an insight on the greatest word of the world - 'sorry' " Let us endeavor so to live, so that when we come to die , even the undertaker will be sorry "    - Mark Twain How to become a player : It is the time when there is no one there to feel sorry for you , or to cheer for you  , is when a player is made.. The time teacher taught me that apologizing does not always mean you're wrong and the other person is right. It just means you value your relationship more than your ego. I know how it may be comprehending. It sounds so simple and yet so complicated , to accept an apology. My wife and me , we've known each other for 20+ years . There are some days where we fight on trivial matters. But I did not start the fight . So why should I apologize ?. Gradually the fighting stopped , but the disapppointment hovered in our hearts. It seemed hard to bring the word "Sorry " on our tongues.  A small word which could be ...

First thing first.. My apologies. I was down with the 'dengue ' and so took some time to write a new one. while recuperating from it , thought to write this one ..( meanwhile I broke a leg too ) I stumbled across a rather annoying post on Twitter the other day , detailing a certain user's distaste for inspirational thoughts. And ironically , it inspired me to write this blog. Always speaking to myself , I've been made to, what I'm today. It's like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always all the time. That story makes you what you are. The most amazing thing for me is that I'm obsessed with giving the readers something they know , but can't express these small things which could have made that difference. What you do makes a difference , and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make. Fate has given me an opportunity to make a difference. You know , when it's all over , it's not wh...

Here's to those who inspire me and don't even know it. Gratitude to my readers for playing this integral part. Every life is a story , thank you again for being part of the story. The guidance and patience shown to me , no matter what I was doing has helped develop me into the person I am today. So , thank you so much for all your smiles. Life can be very tough , but thankfully I've got you to help shine my way. people often have remarked  " Are yaar , ye mere saath bhi hua hai "     ( This has happened to me too ) They have braved themselves to inform me of their ordeals , their journeys. They have made me a representative of their stories. In the end , maybe it's wiser to surrender before the miraculous scope of human genorisity and to just keep saying thank you , forever as long as we have voices. I can shake off everything as I write , my sorrows disappear, my courage reborn. I bring the thanks and you bring the you. Thank you... ...

        " Happy Janmashtami to you " Krishna- Come back to Earth Krishna- Teach us love again I've always believed in the higher power. A New meaning for the many dimensions of life. "Its not who you are that holds you back , it's who you think you are not " I often take some time off to ponder , think. - what makes people happy. Is it money, is the joys of companionship , is it the social gatherness..? Then again , I ask myself , - what the heck ! I am not a Guru, a Mahatma to have these conceptions. But somehwhere down below I always thought that I've lost myself trying to please everyone else. Now when I'm finding myself , I'm losing everyone else... I wish my life had this background music so I could understand what the hell is going on ..! I am not an extrovert but I am a people person. I used to be a people person , but people ruined that for me. I am happy to say that everyone that I have met in my life , I have gai...

                              -Let's pick up the pace a bit- I've been a vivid reader since my school days. The quest for hunting good words , big words have stuck to me since then. For, reading is a rendezvous' with your soul. There have been instances or connected anecdotes where I have spelled or read words differently. Like this word, Rendezvous'.. An honest confession : I used to read this word as { ren-des-woos }..Whenever there was an opportunity to read the word, I used it diligently. I thought I had impressed all around. One day , a friend intelligently remarked , " It is not { ren-des-woos } , it is [ ron-da-voo ]..Hahahahahaha, you should've seen my face..!! Yeah..Rendezvous'  ---A meeting. A secret meeting to be precise. A meeting of odds..To come together face to face by arrangement. We all have a rendezvous' with our lives.. A meeting with life , a meeting with the unexpected, t...

Life is in mayhem...Chaos and disorder. The life we see today, live today ! Sorry.  Got carried away.........!!! Read a nice rubric - " Why does everyone want you to think outside the box ? Is there something inside the box they dont want us to know ? What's  in the damn box ?!! My bosses used to tell me to do something else apart from the regular. I mean, this had become a routine..Do something out of the box.. Today, I want to tell them - I don't think outside the box anymore. I think of what I can do with the box..! I also feel that people who tell people to go out of the box , see the box. - People who don't know the box even exists , are often the innovative thinkers -- Go believe in yourself , go after your dreams and lets not anyone put you in a box. My niece Malvika contributed something . It ends at the 'end line ' I feel " thinking outside the box " is just an excuse or distraction people tell other people with extraord...
