I’m recently setting up my visualisation board and pasting pictures of things I had never thought I would want to buy. But amazingly the idea of visualising paired up with positive spoken words yield belief in everything. I’m putting everything I had wished for, now desire, in that board. A sea view bungalow in whichever [...]
I’ve been re-reading the bhagavat gita, gospel of God according to hinduism. Surprisingly, I find truth in it this time. Everytime I read the Gita before, I got frustrated about the impracticality of it, swore not to read it again and brought my faith another level lower. I’ve been trying different translations and interpretations but [...]
Couple of years back, I used to say I didn’t have time for anything. When somebody asked me how I passed time, I would ask them who stole my time? Where was my 24 hours? I was still searching it. But little did I realize that I was too busy complaining that I was busy. [...]
A mother was managing a group of kids outside the conference room. She told them ‘Don’t make any noise. No shouting. No laughing’. Her son showed all his teeth and imitated laughing. She then said, ‘You can laugh, but no shouting’. He immediately opened his mouth and said ‘Ahh’. And then she said, ‘Please keep quite, can you?’. They [...]
I was talking with a dear old friend of mine about how we speak what we want, that we don’t have and not what we have that we don’t want. He asked if I didn’t think it was a bit crazy. I laughed and replied that I’d rather be crazy and successful than be cool [...]

I belong to a traditional and religious background. I grew up listening to stories of ramayana and mahabharata from grand parents. Like every other child in our neighbourhood, I would get new clothes only on birthdays, festivals and other religious functions. We went to temple and worshipped, and most of the times, ‘worship’ meant holding [...]
A traveller was visiting the country side and at one place, he saw an elephant tied to a tree. He couldn’t help but notice that the cord used to tie the elephant was rather too small to hold the big, majestic animal. But the animal was peacefully standing there and eating. He got curious and [...]
It was when the baby had just learned to crawl, one afternoon, I was sitting on the floor and playing with him. When he tried to move towards the bathroom, I said “Pappu, don’t go there. You will fall”. And I repeated many times in case he missed my point. “No. No. Not there. You [...]
I read this motion picture-turned-book, The Secret by Rhonda Bryne. At a first glance through the pages, I realized that this was going to be either “Wow it changed my life” book or a “What the…?” book. I’m just fortunate that it turned out to be the first type. “As you learn The Secret, you will [...]
