By the way thoughts

I came across Candy Kaku (aunty) during the wee hours on my way to office in a Mumbai local. She might have been in her early 50s. A clam, focussed lady, dressed in an attire most suitable for a Government office.  So that day, as per the railways standards, locals were running behind schedule, which led to more over crowding than usual.  As a result only few courageous, determined ladies could manage to get into the ladies compartment of the local train. I was simply lucky to be one of them. Once in, most of us took great efforts to park our selves but Candy Kaku. The Great Candy Kaku  was standing right next me. While I was still struggling to find my place, she furiously fished out her Samsung Galaxy phone and began to play....Candy crush!  I was amazed at the fact of her being at such ease in one of the most undesired situation. Me being me, I was curious and I had to strike up a conversation with her. As we spoke Candy Kaku admitted that she was addicted to Can...

     Time -  these seconds, those days, that century. Time - in the next moment, in the near future, and forever...  Time seems endless, way back in the past and in the future.  But, what is time?  Is it just the rotation and revolution of the earth?  Maybe yes, may be more....  Let's consider as an example, 2000 to 2025 and 2025 to 2026. Time is reborn as 365 days, for you and for me.   Offering us opportunities, opportunities to change... So is Time = Change Change = Improvements Improvements = Achievements Achievements = Happiness Happiness = More Happiness More Happiness = Bliss Isn't it?  There is no harm in contemplating this with me, this time. I hope with time ... we all find more happiness. #Happynewyear Always!

On many occasions, my thoughts wander and I end up feeling completely drained. This  happened over a lovely long weekend when my thoughts began drifting towards workload, pay scale, traffic jams, public transport, household expenses, and even the government's  Ladki Beheni Yojana . These thoughts made me feel disappointed. So, I smartly redirected them to school fees, vacation expenses, dining bills, and the never-ending shopping sprints. Well, this didn’t help either, in fact I started to feel helpless. Generally, at peak of my helplessness, frustration, exhaustion my higher-self intervenes (uninvited), guiding me through, with some easy tricks. This time, it nudged me to binge-watch a thriller web series. Now, here I am lying on my sofa, watching one episode after another, spending hours in front of the TV. Yet, I still have no control over my thoughts… off they go wandering again. Exploring a new path that led to life insurance, medical bills, and the ever-increasing cocon...

We are never too busy to get better Untangle, unleash, undo, redo, connect, commit.  No matter who you are, where you are; you get better as you... Untangle your thoughts,  Unleash your emotions,  Undo your bad habits,  Redo your good habits,  Connect with loved ones and,  Commit to self-betterment. Trust the journey, stay committed to untangle, unleash, undo, redo, connect and to commit....  because,  you want to be better (than yesterday) You may also like to read the poem “ Evening by the Stream ”  

11 July may not seem to be a well-known or widely celebrated day. But its importance cannot be ignored. Population – the count of the number of humans on planet Earth. Our Home! Humans – busy making life worth living are in fact parasites, enjoying the natural resources meant for all living beings. To make life meaningful individuals collectively form groups. These groups orient themselves to achieve a common goal. For example, some groups are busy at war, some are engaged in the upliftment of the weak, some devote their lives to finding solutions to problems, and some are busy in mass production. Each one of us is a part of some or the other so-called group. These groups keep us busy. While we are too busy achieving our goals, the world around us is constantly changing and advancing. But, the fact is that no amount of research, innovation, or advancement can reduce our dependency on natural resources to zero. In fact, we are so consumed in consuming that we do not realize the impact ...
