Ek Sapna..
Hi Guys! I have not been able to come back with a new post for pretty long, due to a hectic schedule with kids at school. I could also not revert with full zeal to all the valuable comments that I have received on my last blogs (thanks!), though have been reading most of your blogs, finding time here and there. I wish to share a dream that I saw re... more...

On the Path of Genocide…
A religion is a guideline or discipline for a serene life in this world. God is a fear to limit us to follow the right path, and be afraid of an external power that rewards or punishes you, as per your deeds.Hinduism is one of the oldest religions, evolved after covering one of the most tortuous paths of reforms and varied civilizations. The cult i... more...

BRANDs... A PASSION or STATUS SYMBOL?!
Levis blue jeans, plush Revlon lip paints, Chanel toilettes, chick Nike shoes and a sliding Nokia… its all fabulous for a stroll in Connaught place. That’s the trend baby… if you don’t have.. u are dunce! We at school were quite away from all this, preferring salwar- kurta or max. skirt.

MY EGYPT EXCURSION (DAY 1)
Egypt is a mystery in the History. I did realize that after my visit to this Pandora Box a couple of months back.  Geologically, it does resemble India, but is mainly distinguishable by the dominating Arabic Sunni Muslim population. Christians do have a substantial share (to about 30% in Cairo), with a fine mingling of architecture and food.The cou... more...

INSPIRING LESSON
      One day a farmer’s donkey fell into an abandoned well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered anyway; so it wasn’t worth it to him to try to retrieve the donkey. He invited all the neighbors to come over and help him.

“Love Thy Self….Admire Thy Self”
 “Love Thy Self….Admire Thy Self” Every one of us has the tendency to say, “ I loved him or her so much BUT….BUT…..BUT…..”    There no end to that BUT and that “BUT” is crushing the mental peace of  every one of us.

Memory is often used to recollect bad experiences, feelings rather than using it to recall / remember good expereinces or feelings; In most cases, left to itself, our mind tries to recollect bad experiences/feelings and never, as a rule, recollects experiences that had positive effect on us.
