I happened to take a glance at the scattered books at my table this morning (Oh yeah, I read more than one book at one time) and couldn’t help be surprised at the list (some of them waiting to be read) The Bhagavadgita by Gandhi Understanding Buddhism by Malcolm David Eckel The Holy Science by [...]
I watched the movie “The Bucket List” after it being recommended by one of our motivational speakers. The speaker kept emphasizing the importance of having a list of little things that we wish to do before ‘kicking the bucket’ because most of our current life’s dream lists consist of big things like a bungalow by [...]
I believe in believing. Why yes, it all dates back to the days in my past, with disbelief in the almighty, even though I was an optimist in actions. I believed in myself and everything was possible. Except that I didn’t realize that I was missing something important. That part which I didn’t know, I [...]
Today I received this email in my inbox. It was from a sender I do not know with the subject ‘meeting request’. I was just about to delete when the words “inconvenience” and “meeting” caught my attention. I continued to read. It started like this. Hi, Greetings from ABC, erstwhile PQR. First of all, I [...]
I have always been a big dreamer. As a child, I would sit and dream big things for hours together. Most of those hours, I used to hold a book in front of me so that people will think that I’m studying. But my mother was smart. She always found out but I tried to [...]

What do people say when they reappear after 2 months of sudden absence? Hmm, well, the reason for my absence is…. Anyway, I don’t have any particular reason because the concept of ‘not having enough time’ doesn’t even exist. I just didn’t want to write even though I had quite a lot to write. My [...]
It’s been long since I wrote anything blog worthy. I could go on and convince everyone that I had been busy doing things, taking care of toddler or consumed in painting. But that’s not the truth. I didn’t write because… just because! No, I was not suffering from a blogger’s block. Could someone be having a [...]
It’s interesting how and where people find God. I have seen people finding God in special places like temples and churches, in holy books, in heaven, in the sky, in every-thing, in brains, in hearts or in mind. (Now, what exactly is mind as a location is material for another blog post). Recently we got [...]
Blessing and praising are 2 important actions in life. They express love and gratitude, both of which if shared, comes back to us in abundance.
