JUST A GRAIN OF SAND
As I write this, I lie on the sea shore, resting and reminiscing about the days gone by when I used to wonder what my purpose in life was.I was a miniscule part of the great Sahara desert till I latched onto the shoes of a tourist and traveled across continents and countries. I always used to wonder if this was the life I was supposed to live. Be a... more...

A FEW GOOD MEN
What is it with men, mobs and molestation in our country? The recent Mumbai incident has not only exposed the moral depravity but also the desperation and cowardly nature of men in our urban, super fast metros. I don’t wish to generalize as there are decent men around also. Men like the guy in the red t-shirt who, by the victims own admission jumpe... more...

Life Is a Bitch...
A common answer among friends when we ask each other how’s life? I say life is certainly a bitch and she sure has a lot of puppies. Each with a color and personality of its own. No one knows which puppy is gonna turn around and nip at you when you least expect it.Some say life is beautiful. Agreed, for those of you who don’t have to deal with the d... more...

Art of Living: Accepting Change
Change they say is the only constant in life. Then why is it that we find it so hard to adapt to it or accept it? It is so hard to explain as you move on in life and evolve along the path that you have changed and are happy with the person you are turning into when people around you don’t wish to see the positive energy the new attitude/outlook bri... more...

Love
Love is such a personal feeling. It is not about what we feel towards others. It is just how we feel inside our hearts. Then why do we say "I love u" to someone else?Love is being good and feeling good. That is why I say love starts from oneself. We like all those who make us feel good and be good. In other words, we love them. So when we say "I lo...  more...
