Its 25 th December- Christmas!!! One of the favorite occasions of the kids! I still remember the time when I was too young & used to feel that Santa is going to come &  fulfill  all my wishes! :’) I’m sure, all of us used to believe that at some point of time in our earlier days!             Things changed, times changed & we have changed! We are now grown-ups… we now say Santa is just fictional character! We know no Santa is coming for us! Right?             Well, it’s not completely true! In this process of dealing with the reality, we missed one thing about Santa! Santa isn’t any fictional character… it resides in ourselves! Dreams are ours, wishes are ours, the problems are ours & the life is ours… so, why would someone else come to fulfil our wishes? It’s our own duty to make all this happen! All our wishes are going to be fu...

Not much time has passed when I lost one of my friends in an accident. After being hit, he laid on the ground for about 15 minutes & no one extended any helping hand! Now, another shocking incident has come to light. You must have read about in in newspapers in past couple of days. Yes, I’m talking about the eve-teasing case that took place in a Haryana roadways bus near Rohtak. 3 men were commenting on two girls when they were travelling in a public bus. When the girls protested to it, the issue became bigger & the 3 men started to manhandle them. They tried to push them out of the bus. Somehow, one of the two brave-heart girls managed to pull off her belt & thrashed the men. She tried as hard as she could but finally, both of the girls ended up being thrown out of the running bus, causing many injuries on their back & other body parts. Luckily, the injuries aren’t that major! The girls took a stand for themselves but no one, literally, no one from the bus did ...

                                             INDEPENDENT INDIA? Facebook, WhatsApp, BBM, emails, text messages- all are overflowing with lengthy messages wishing Happy Independence day, containing phrases like- Proud to be an Indian & Jai Jawaan- Jai Kisaan!! So many people on whatsapp & Facebook have changed their DP to National flag! Are we really so proud being in India? NO!! Not everyone is proud of what India is. With hundreds of rape cases being reported every day, & so many murders being committed every hour, this response is obvious! Everyone wants to settle in some foreign country after completing their education. People are here not by choice, but because they no other choice yet! JAI JAWAAN- JAI KISAAN!!- doesn’t really suit our country where the jawaans don’t even get half of what they actually deserve……… where the kisaans are living ...

                                              Mothers’ Day Mothers’ day is commonly celebrated on second Sunday of month May. It is observed to honor all the mothers all around the world for all their deeds & sacrifices for their children!             Mother- she is not just the one who gave us life… but the one who also taught us how to live J just one single day for someone who made you what you are is just too less than what she deserves!!! Mom- our first teacher! Our savior forever!! J She is the only one who taught me the meaning of unconditional love! She is the one who taught me how to smile even when she herself wanted to cry… she is the one who taught me to respect everyone. She is the one who taught me that sacrifices are worth making. She taught me to choose what’s right rather than cho...

A tribute to Flight MH370 Pick up any newspaper, or tune to any news channel, everyone I talking about the Malaysian flight MH370 which has not been found yet . It is one of the most heart- breaking incidents the world has ever witnessed! The irony is we have reached Moon, we are looking for aliens on other planets but we failed to track a flight on our own planet. Every heart cried after seeing their families’ condition. No one knows what went wrong & how! As per the info from the official source- 239 passengers in total were on the flight, including the crew members. Sad part is- no one made it back to his home. L No one ever imagined even in the worst of their nightmares that anything this sort of will happen even after so much technological development. There were claims saying we are about to reach the highest point of reliability in technical aspects. But this incident showed something completely different. There is a lot of distance yet to be covered. Undou...

Every day we keep running from one place to other… making ends meet so that we could live peacefully tomorrow. But, that tomorrow never comes!! “Today is that tomorrow that made you worried yesterday…” Change the way you think & see your life getting changed… Here follows a short story: A fisherman was sitting near seashore, under the shadow  of a tree & enjoying his smoking. Suddenly a rich businessman passing by approached him and  inquired  as to why he was sitting under a tree smoking and not working. To this the poor fisherman replied that he had caught enough fishes for the day. Hearing this, the rich man got angry and said: Why don’t you catch more fishes instead of sitting in shadow wasting your time? Fisherman asked: What would I do by catching more fishes? Businessman: You could catch more fishes, sell them and earn more money, and buy a bigger boat. Fisherman: What would I do then? Businessman: You could go fishing...

We all read horoscopes sometimes whether we believe in all these or not. Most of these are based on date of birth. Don’t know much about all these but there is some role of the date of birth has been found in the way you tackle things. People generally born in same month have a better understanding of each other- studies have found in most of cases. the date you were born had a unique pattern of stars that time. perhaps, it impacts us! Here follows another way of getting to know us: WHAT’S YOUR BIRTH NUMBER? Once you have discovered your Birth Number. Put your number in as a comment below for us to know who we are. Have fun! Your birthdate describes who we are, what we are good at and what our inborn abilities are. It also points to what we have to learn and the challenges we are facing. To figure out your Birth Number, add all the numbers in the Birth Date together, like in the example, until there is only one digit. A Birth Number does not prevent y...

If you wish to be the best, you need to invest in the best! You cannot win the car race with NANO. You’ll have to choose one of the finest cars to keep your chances alive! But, what is the best? Well, best is just a matter of standards. It differs from person to person & area to area. Try asking in your group as what’s the best phone as per them. Some will say Apple IPhone, some will say BlackBerry & you might even find some saying- SAMSUNG. Mindsets differ & so do choices. The BEST depends upon the criteria of your selection. “Invest in the best”- this advice is given by the King of Investment world- Sir WARREN BUFFET. When he was asked how he is so good at investing, he just said- “it’s because I always invest in the best.” What the people in this world do is that they choose to look at the price, but the winners have always looked at the value! Many don’t even understand the difference between Price & Value. They have got nothing in similar; these...

Recently watched the documentary of Sir Steve Jobs- ‘ONE LAST THING’. It is really worth watching it. “So many times, we feel irritated by the way things happen around us & we can’t do anything because it is how things are meant to go!” This view point of yours will get changed completely when you’ll watch that documentary. It’ll inspire you to think OUT OF THE BOX. “ When you grow up you tend to get told that the world is the way it is… & you’ve to live your life in the world, try not to bash into the walls too much… Try to have a nice family life, have fun… save your money etc. Life can be much broader. Once you discover one simple fact & that is… everything around you that you call LIFE was made up by people, they were no smarter than you!”                                     ...

Today is the 68 th Republic Day of our country. Most of us surely missed the parade! This article is dedicated to those soldiers who stand on borders for 24*7 without resting so that we could sleep, live & roam freely. They don’t get offs on Sunday or at some festivals even. While we are busy playing Holi, Diwali etc., these guys are being missed at their home badly!!! Today, we are able to take a breath of relief just because of them. This following poem is dedicated to them only: Soldiers, You are the real heroes- that’s true… We are safe- just because of you! When we are enjoying the festivals, You guys are busy fighting the rivals! We are in a democracy- because you are protecting… Even though the citizens are not respecting! In my views, you guys are the best… Can’t say much about the rest! INDIA always needs you in all activities & for rescue… Whether it’s Battle or some earthquake issue! You guys always give yo...

So many times we hesitate to take a step ahead. And, sometime later when it discomforts us, we start assuming the way things would have been had we take that step. "The pain of regret is quite inconsolable..." Here follows a poem that will ask you to dare... dare to be who you wish to be!! When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully. When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light. When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it. When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway. When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back. When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some. When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going. When times are tough, dare to be tougher. When love hurts you, dare to love again. When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal. When another is lost, dare to help them find the way. When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand. When you cross paths ...
