Memory.........
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. I had this experience recently when I casually advised on... more...

Astro........
Hey!! do you beleive in astrology? Most of us do or atleast admit that we all have the habit of reading astrology posts in some way or other. When I looked at my friends list, I realized that I have friends from all sun signs and thought I will do an experiment. I am posting the prediction for Scorpio [no particular reason why I selected this sign]... more...

Wating......
How many times do we hear that 'the he/she doesnt have time sense at all' they always come late, be it may, an appointment or a meeting or dinner etc.,Well, I always felt that while discipline is important, one doesnt really need to worry a lot about 'being late'. If you step back and take a view, there are so many uncertainities, priorities for pe... more...

Guys n girls, I am glad to come back after a gap of  two weeks; Well, nothing significant happened in the last two weeks, but I had some major learnings last week and happy to share the same with you.

Reflection
I read somewhere that Bill Gates once a year, packs all his bags and goes into hibernation and reflects on what he does and plans for future during that week and he calls it a 'think week'. Very interesting. Right?. I was also reminded of one thing that my wellwisher said, 'one must monitor his feelings' everyday and reflect on it. He calls this mo... more...

Destiny
"Not that I want to be a god or a hero. Just to change into a tree, grow forages, not hurt anyone." Using trees as the metaphor, these poignant words of Nobel prizewinner Czeslaw Milosz sum up what it truly means to be human.Perhaps we in the animal kingdom can learn much from those in the plantkingdom.Well, I remember this quote every morning and ... more...

daily musings
I was just counting how many times in a DAY we fall in love with things, people, objects, various things around us and how abused the word 'Love' is. Funny, right. I had started counting how many times, be it may the nice weather when I start out in the morning, or a nice girl waiting for the bus at the bus stop or discipline with which my neighbou... more...

Natural Mosquito repellents
It's dengue season once again, and I have more reason than most to fear the disease.
