                                                                               Image courtesy -  depositphotos.com “One man’s food is other man’s poison” , quite literally in the current situation isn’t it not? This has definitely snatched the privilege of “carefree life” from the people and injected a sense of “careful living” causing serious turbulence among mankind. On the flip-side, this surely has given the whole of human clan the time to reconsider and rethink about certain practices & concepts, better understanding of which can help us regenerate peace & harmony throughout the world. Now let us take it one at a time: Entire world is locked down as this invisible pathogen has fixed its focus on defeating the humans- is having a tag of super power, developi...

In the arena of life, we put in all our might and fight for the fulfillment of our goals & desires with the intention of achieving imperishable happiness. Yet, one can seldom experience the phase in life where all our plans are materialized in our favor. While we come across such undesirable moments, a rudimentary emotion that we humans effortlessly slip into is “dejection or despair”. But, is our life merely limited to developing desires, feel happy when it’s achieved and slide into depression when it couldn’t be fulfilled? It’s time to enlighten ourselves to realize that the reason for being born as human beings is much more than just conquering our ‘wants’. The reason to perceive that, ” to be born as humans is a blessing”, is because of the fact that we possess this exceptional power, that is “to feel” the entire package of emotions bestowed upon us by the supreme power, that is not possible for any of his other creations. The ultimate intention of the Almig...

Pic credits: Wave accounting The most interesting part of our lives which involves continuous learning is “Travel”. Travelling might be moving within the city, country or even across the world. When we go on trips or expeditions, we get to experience an overall package of emotions which carves a deep relentless memory that we carry throughout our lives. However, no tour whether long or short can be satisfactorily completed without the assistance and guidance of a “Travel guide”.  While I was on a tour to explore one of my favorite historic destinations of Karnataka, which was also the capital of the “Vijayanagar” empire, that is none other than the spectacular “ Hampi”, I realised that without my tour guide, I would have definitely witnessed the obvious places but at the same time would have certainly missed noticing and recognising some of the unique and worthwhile spots which added so much more value to my exploration that would have otherwise led to an incomplet...

On a gloomy Tuesday morning, my brother and I were having a cup of coffee and looking through our phones, while I noticed this sudden shocked expression on his face and asked what had happened, with the same bewilderment, he said that one of his school mates had attempted suicide. And the reason left my mind boggled, yes! The reason was he failed to seize a suitable job for himself even a year after completing his engineering. When he was asked by my brother as to what pushed him to take such a drastic step, the reply that came was “an unsuccessful person doesn’t deserve to live”. My question is, on what basis did he judge himself as unsuccessful?                                                                               Pic credits; decisivemarketer.com Is “success” the ultimate m...

                                           Pic credit:Changebyexchange.com  Life involves various emotions like joy, sorrow, anger, fear , surprise etc. A person can never escape from experiencing or feeling all of them in his/her life span and it is a fact that can never be changed at any point in time. On the contrary, every individual is solely focused  on uncovering that one person, place or situation to which they can hold onto and consistently  experience this comforting superlative emotion of "happiness" throughout. The truth is that the creator is generous enough to bestow this super power upon us which says "Human beings can choose how they want to feel at a given point in time" . Once we learn to use this power flawlessly, no individual  will struggle to find happiness outside, as we can invariably feel happy from within with anybo...

It always tries to maintain balance between moments of bliss and sorrow. Sometimes we get to enjoy the beautiful moments that allow us to sit back, relax and enjoy just the way we rest on a bench in a beautiful park. But on the other side, we are pushed into innumerable tests and unwelcoming situations that often make us feel unstable exactly representing a ride on a swing. Purpose of life is not just working and searching for happiness. The best way to live life is to keep moving forward and living every moment with acceptance whether bliss or sorrow. Record only the best feeling...

Before google maps was invented to guide us through our paths so that we don’t take an incorrect route and reach the wrong destination, God created this fool proof guide to lead us through our lives, we call them as “parents”. Parents are like a compass to children’s’ life: whenever we feel lost in this vast world, parents’ guide us to be back on the right track. They form the most concrete foundation for all the “first impressions” in a Child's life. These first impressions during a child’s early life form a strong base or structure for its character and attitude towards life. Therefore it becomes supremely important for all the new age parents to get this point right: human beings possess the great power of bringing another life onto this world, but they should never forget that “with great power comes great responsibility”.                                           Ph...
