What shall be my resolves for this year?
The festive season of Christmas is upon us. As they say we shall all be goaded to unwrap our personas and let the cheerful, forgiving, outgoing and loving side of us to come out in the open. The western media has done such a good job at hyping this period that even slothful individuals do rake up enough energy to unglue their backsides and stand up to be counted. They even do the unthinkable by acting out some friendly gestures. This is one activity in w…

First Create the Problem………..
One day I read that due to the chemicals and preservatives that we are ingesting nowadays, the human body takes four times longer to rot than it did hundred years ago. It seems the continuous high level of preservatives we eat in our food also keeps us going longer in death too.
Humans have consistently shown and proven how clever they are. If some other people were watching planet earth and the developments here in the last 150 years, the first thing they would c…

Going back to the basics. Back to slow ground wheat.
And start a labor oriented revolution that will bring back food to every household.
I am planning this venture and looking for well wishers, even partners.
This slow ground wheat will bring back the taste and health factors that are still remembered by most of the people, specially in metros who miss it. It is like other food products that have gone out of fashion but are remembered and always find a ready market like Buttermilk and fresh wh…

Being true to his salt.
Loyalty and Honesty are words that are getting rather mauled up in the present age. Whatever happened to the established norms of loyalty and undiluted honesty because one had partaken “salt” from parents, families, friends and employers? Once we had taken the gift of sharing their “salt” we were bound to repay in kind; the elders gave us protection and the younger ones by service.

Listening to the Universe.
This conversation started when I posted the paragraph below on my group site:
Ever been on the verge of finishing a jigsaw puzzle only to discover the last piece has gone missing? And remember how frustrating it feels to not find it after hours of searching, only to discover it a day later hiding under the sofa's dust ruffle? A small but possibly life-changing piece of your own personal puzzle will fall into place, but only when you're not hunting for it. Don't try a…

DEBATABLE POINTS
Should the mobile phones be allowed in schools?
Whatever for? There is nothing wrong in owning a phone and having alongside for emergencies but to have one alive and in use when one goes to school or college; isn’t it rather self defeating? I mean, you are at school to study and learn new things. How can you do that when you head is busy SMSing or listening to music of today which is just RAP anyway? DO You need to have a doctorate in psychology to understand that if you your…

Dear PK,
Do you have a solution (to change in a systematic manner) for tackling with and surviving husbands who bully and shout at wives at the drop of a hat? They just look for mistakes only all the time and never miss an opportunity to shout and insult. This way the dignity of the wife is not respected. I know this man comes from a house where his mother, even at the age of 70, gets shouted at all the time by his father. He has been raised this way. They think this is manly behavior. At time h…

Why do we shout when we are angry?
I received this question in the mail; and this little story. The story is beautiful and does explain poetically many things but I felt that the question needs to be studied a little more closely and objectively.
First the story:
A saint asked his disciples, 'Why do we shout in anger?
Why do people shout at each other when they are upset?'
'But, why shout when the other person is just next to you?' Why do you shout at a person when you're angry?'
Finally he e…

Greeting My Child.
Today I can emphatically say that I am angry. What is gone wrong with adults? The insensitivity shown towards my child or for that matter other children simply makes me want to strangle them; don’t be fooled my exterior that is smiling benevolently. What has got my blood boiling you ask?
The thing is that most evenings, my daughter wants to go to my wife’s office to pick her up. As this happens to be after work hours of the bank, my child loves to play around in the open spa…

To live content with small means
to seek elegance rather than luxury
and refinement rather than fashion
to be worthy, not respectable
and wealthy, not rich
to listen to stars and birds,
babes and sages with open heart
to study hard and think quietly
act frankly, talk gently,
await occasions, hurry never
in a word, to let the spiritual
unbidden and unconscious
grow up through the common-
this is my symphony
William H Channing.

.Have you ever experienced the situation when you wrote something and the other party misunderstood it or interpreted it differently, sometimes to the extent of even getting hurt or/and insulted. This is what comes when we are too sensitively inclined and read overmuch between the lines for Hidden Messages. “HIDDEN MESSAGES”? What in the name of heaven for?
But this is also a pointer to how we complicate our lives by assigning meanings to things by letting our imaginations roam and fly of the h…

Let go and let live
This subject keeps popping up every now and then. How parents maintain control and run & ruin the lives of their children till “Death doth them part” is a perennial source of many miseries. You won’t need a magnifying lens or lantern to find people who practice strict hold on the psyche on their children and for that matter anywhere they can at home or work. I see this attitude so fairly common that I decided to put down some of the conversations I have had for all to no…

The Art of not listening
Do you like to live your life your way? Then you must absolutely cultivate the art of not listening. Don’t be fooled by all these lectures on listening that will improve your life by making you more efficient and bringing in more value to your existence. It is absolute baloney. Listening never did any good to anybody. It only brings duties and commitments and who wants any of this?
Look at this guy hogging the road or even that pedestrian walking merrily in the centre…
