Live to Love...Love to Live!

  Gold does not worry about protecting its glitter, Shine is its inherent nature. Something that makes it unique & worthy. It knows that its strength lies in its purity.   Many who emulate it are well in its sight, But it is unshackled with their attempts to look bright. As no matter how much they pretend to shine, The truth prevails that their lustre is sublime.   Insecurity dwells in the pretext of a self-proclaimed glory, Fake propositions do not earn a success story. Genuineness is never in search of visibility, For confidence lies in being aware of one’s ability.   Needs and utilities will evolve with time, What’s significant today may tomorrow turn futile. What matters is how far have you been able to rise, Craving for adulations will only make you fragile.   What’s unreal will eventually fade away, And that what remains will find its way. More than your glitter, what’s important is your endeavour, Your str...

Experience is the best teacher. We all learn through our experiences. We grow by experimenting with our ideas and exploring new insights from them. Whether it is about dealing with people, making a career move, or taking up an investment option, our assumptions are often challenged by the test of reality. People, who understand these nuances fast, learn from them and grow faster, whereas others, who struggle to get out of their prejudices, remain lost. It’s important to keep learning from our trials and picking up our lessons. Life is long enough to get another chance to do it better.  So, is true with businesses, it’s important to keep adapting to the changing environment. Variability can be managed if they are predictable. But, at times things go out of one’s horizon of thinking and clarity. When things go out of order, it’s important to be stable, introspect and take corrective actions. The more you accept reality the more you will widen your perception towards things. It is wis...

Whenever I come across something unpleasant in life; I remind myself of a weary blind man’s sight. Standing undefeated on a railway platform; He was trying to sell some toys to the ignorant passengers, with the best of his charm. The persistent darkness of his life was evident on his face. But he still stood undeterred in this scornful race. Old clothes, a crooked stick, rugged footwear and a baggage of toys were his only possession. But he could still earn for himself a smile of gratification; As he offered a rupee to a wandering beggar who caught his attention. The world and destiny has rendered him helpless and fragile. But his undisturbed spirits have still kept him alive. For even while being in the midst of agony and pain; He through his toys can make many innocents smile again. For, he has a love of life and a spirit to move on… Such spirit symbolizes courage and dignity. Such spirit is an epitome of triumph over difficulty. For, only when we h...

I wish we all thought about – the “freedom of work”. Yes, Work! I am sure all of us would want to spend most of our time doing something worthwhile. Of course the definition of “worth” would mean different to different people like money, fame, passion, etc. However, what I fail to understand here is a simple fact that, when we have so many different perceptions about work; why can’t we just step out to express and fulfil them in our own ways. Why do we have to feel so compelled in doing something that does not motivate us in a right sense that we want. May that be due to lack of opportunities, external pressures or at times due to our own prejudices and fear of being jobless, we all do get trapped in believing that the work that we have in our hand is a limitation or rather a helpless choice. But can’t we do something about it. Why don’t we come out bold to express and live our freedom of work and be true to the driving factor that we get from it? I am sure all of us wou...

What difference does it make?? They say; We survive or wither away; The world will just go on in its way. When lady luck looks fragile, And hard work is in vain. Life asks to pay the price; Such adverse thoughts does arise. What difference does it make?? They say We survive or wither away The world dances to the tune of elite; No one likes to seek the company of a freaky unbright. We have no reason to stay happy; We are all barred by the God Almighty. What difference does it make?? They say; We survive or wither away. I have only one thing for them to say; Don’t get pained and give it away. Difference will only arise, If the world feels a loss in your sad demise, He bestowed fragrance to all flowers alike, Don’t cry on HIM, if you haven’t recognized the charm of your life, Be a difference to someone else’s life; Pleasure will follow you in no while. Don’t wait for a miracle to happen. Conceive, believe, and achieve your dreams by...

This title may sound intriguing but we all often deal with it – yes with our own comfort zones… We live in our comfort zones; unmoved and unshaken; without accepting any change. The same newspaper, the same local train, the same job, the same evening coffee, the same green grocer and the same routine – but we are happy as we call ourselves stable and comfortable. We never feel to do away with the things that we repeatedly do. Accepting change in people, environment or even small gadgets that we use gets miserable. What if the maid misses a day? What if the boss calls for a presentation? What if the cable connection is off tonight? We expect things to go on as we the way we are habituated to them all the time. Not because they add any charm to our lives but they tend to get an integral part of our unchallenged lives. We never see ourselves comfortable in doing something that we haven’t done before. We expect a lot of things to happen but are never willing to disturb our smo...
