From the anthill to the hallway to the sugar cube to the anthill is a long way for an ant. From the farmers to the market is a long way for the rice grain. From the egg to the chick to the chopping table is a long way for the chicken. From the bed to the bath and back to the bed is a long way for an ailing elderly person. From the bed to the bathroom to dining table to school gate to class is a long way for a toddler. After an overwhelmingly occupying morning with the kitchen and kids, from the bath to the dresser to the dining table to the vehicle through the traffic to the office campus gate to the elevator to the desk to the login is a long way for a working mom. So, when we say, "I’ve come a long way", could it really mean that we have been through some experiences worth our while? Dreams take us a long way than the Waking hours. Struggles take us a long way than the Effortlessness. Failures take us a long way than the Successes. Understanding tak...

All of us are built to be positive. We do not need someone to make us feel positive.  Going by electrical polarity, current flows from positive terminal to negative terminal. Electrons flow from negative to positive. Just run a search to know more, if you want to convince yourself of your lessons from high-school science classes. Recall Math lessons? Plus x Minus = Minus. We are inherently positive people.  By the Creator’s design, we have a certain mental energy level, which in different theories of Times and Geographies, have been manifested as aura, strength, shakti, positivity and many more of beautiful verbiage in spiritual diction. All of these refer to the inherent drive to live life positively with a purpose ( which we may or may not know ) that each one of us being born in this world will eventually and definitely meet.  This may be why are able to attract Negatives (Our thoughts, words or deeds may be negatively influenced by something that...

A short story as heard… On a late evening, a group of college students was gathered to celebrate their friend’s birthday. The beautiful girl was dressed in her best party outfit, new and pretty, and her smiles flashed that she was truly happy. ( I smiled too..) Outside the gate, three boys were into a big argument about something and it turned ugly and unfair for one of them. He was visibly hurt as seen from his eyes. ( I could sense that too..) However, as it was time for the party, they had to move indoors. They were well-mannered people in that they decided to honor the invite in spite of the bad turn of events. ( Must’ve been really grim, I thought..) A few others in the group had caught what’s going on too. ( Made it worse, I imagined… ) The hurt man walked into the hall with a raging temper.. (Yes, takes a lot to calm immediately after a stormy verbal match. ) A smart young lady who was his friend swiftly walked up to him. ( I liked her instantly. A frie...

I looked up "Technical writing trends online" when an idea occurred to me as I was writing today. I saved the lookup for the afternoon, because I knew I will need a diversion. Upon a few casual clicks on the subject I was looking for ( Simplified Technical English ), I figured out something… Every one is unsure of the importance of his/her job in the other person’s mind. There is a race for being on-top-of-everything in a given field to grow up the ladder. There is a confusion about being a generalist and specialist. "Which is fancy now?” is a big race in the already maddening race that we are on. How much is too much? is still a big question in life when it comes to knowledge and learning. "Do you have to know this and this and this also to be what you want to be?? “ is according to me a perineal professional dilemma. Where are you as a person anywhere?? You can be an engineer, a doctor, a professional with a million claps by half of the globe...

The Hindi movie, 'Yeh Dil Hai Mushkil' was a total chance click on one late night movie time. After quite a while, I sat for a Karan Johar movie. I have not been watching too many movies so I don't know if the industry has got some changes in thinking like my own mind has, but I can say that I saw this movie from a different perspective than what I saw on the screen. Age catching up? Or Wisdom teaming up? Or am I becoming more 'accepting'? I don't know which one is true, but I liked the movie for the unsaid thoughts. The storyline is simple: An attractive boy falls in love with a very attractive girl. The overly expressive girl shares some affection for the boy, but it is more of a 'care' than the romantic love( which is usually the expected outcome when two people give a really long deep look into each other's eyes on the screen ). They part ways as they find their 'love' nests elsewhere. Or so they think. In course of time, they ...
