Three Rules Of Life

Be You

Break Free

Only you are responsible for the problems in your life even if others create them: because you let that happen. Never allow others to take control. Fight. Fight, even when you can't. Soar high.

Life In Stacks

Sometimes, life is like searching for a book from among many juxtaposed stacks: you start searching for the book you want in the first stack and it turns out that the naughty little book was at the bottom of the last stack all the time!

Hungry For Politics

There's a lot of politics in politics, and politics ain't good.

Conserving Compassion

Haven't we all had those days when we are sauntering around a market, minding our own business, and out of the blue somebody approaches us with a hard-to-believe story and importunes us for monetary help? No matter how much we'd like to help the person, almost every time we have dismissed his story as incredible and moved on. Ever wondered what if  their story was true? What if their entire life depended on our help? Yes, we have all had those cruel  pangs of guilt. Then why did we not spare them some money? Is it because we are too miserly? Do we really care more for money than our humanity? In most cases, the answer is 'no'. Then, what is it that crippled us from acting as we wanted to? It is our insecurity. This diffidence stems from our incessant rational thinking. When I became the scapegoat some time ago, I remembered something my dear mother does. She has a box in her cupboard, in which she regularly deposits some part of her savings. So, whenever she finds herself in the spotlight, she does not hesitate to help. It's not her money that is in the box, as she puts it. It belongs to the needy.

The Spice of Life

We see sights like this everyday; in the markets and by the roadside. Ever wondered how monotonous a place the world would be, if it wasn't for these colourful sights? The canvas of life would indeed be very dull if it weren't for these vibrant highlights gracing it. But, isn't is so very sad that the lives of these people, who add spice to our lives, are so bland themselves? I know, there isn't a lot that we can to help that. But, please do yourself a favour the next time you walk past the little girl sitting in the picture and give her a little smile. Oh, and what she wouldn't do for a photograph!
