Perception

Though not that frequently used, perception is in the center of everything. You are a pessimist or an optimist based on your perception of things and situations. There is a lot of stress in human life, from what I hear, a lot medical conditions are also caused by stress. What is the solution? How can you relieve stress? I believe most of you would agree that the best way to relieve stress is to either rest or meditate. But consider this, another way to relieve stress is to change your perception! Sit back, and look at the situation that is the root cause of havoc in your life from a different point of view. If it is difficult for you to do it, then talk to someone who can give you a whole new prospective. The reason I am saying this is because, it has actually helped me and at times I believe helped some of my friends who share their life problems with me. To give it more weight, I'll share a recent inecedent. I lost a major client. All of sudden my 70% income was gone. Everyo

Dad

Standing there, a tall, sturdy figure. With eyes of love and heart of joy. Waiting for me with an open arm I see my dad, calling my name. Plays with me, teaches me, A stare from him might even scare me. The reason of all my confidence, My dad, backing me up always. I look up to him in trouble, I party with him in triumph. He has been my coach, My dad, a friend to a son!

Alone

It’s really an irony, instruments that were designed to bring people close have actually taken them apart. According to a study, depression in teenagers has increased because of social media platform, Facebook. Remember the good old days, where, as students, we used to write compositions and debate on advantages and disadvantages of technology. I still remember that one of the advantages was that it has made communication easy and has brought people closer.  But look at society today! Even if some friends are sitting at a table drinking coffee, the majority of their time is spent looking at their mobiles. Isn’t this an irony! Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Video call, and smartphones were designed so that people who don’t live nearby, or can’t talk to each other easily are able to communicate. We know what our friends are doing, what’s the major happening in their life and even though we are miles apart, be part of their life.  But (and that’s a big but), cases of depressio

Women - Do I Need Say More

Today is Women's Day, to be honest, which day isn't! The past year and the beginning of 2018 has seen a lot of movements to support & strengthen women. What everybody does not realize that women or the feminine gender is the as much an integral part of the fabric as any other being. There was a beautiful movie that was based society without women. It was complete chaos! I believe women are special in their own way, and in no way they need to prove anything to anybody. Rather, every day, they should feel special. They do so much, yet demand so little. Be it mother, girlfriend, wife, daughter sister, they embrace and absorb so much. This is to all women - grandmothers, mothers, teachers, aunts, sisters and nieces. If you could look past the flash light, If you could look into the future, There is darkness, There is nothingness without you. If we could understand you, If we could know you, We might not talk, We might not stand next to you. Happy Women&#

Shelters for Animals

The festival of 'Holi' just ended. In one of the local newspapers I read an article about a group of youngsters urging people to allow stray dogs to live in house compounds and with the help of some locals, they were also building make-shift shelter homes. That was a really noble gesture because colors used in 'Holi' can harm animals. That led me to think, that when one festival can make people build animal shelters, then why don't we actually do so permanently. Now I might be ignorant and there might be some already in place. But when I see a stray dog, it makes confirms my notion. Recently, people have become quite active about animal rights, we have come a long way from making fun and jokes on 'Maenka Gandhi' for being so active in support of animals to actually starting pledges and NGO's to protect them. But still, there is dearth of good shelter homes for stray animals. It is time we started thinking about building proper care homes where str
