"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second’s encounter with God and with eternity." Happy Valentine's day all. Wish the love keeps flowing for ever!

Happy 70th Cassius Clay. He floats like a butterfly & stings like a bee.

An engineer dies and reports to the Pearly Gates. Saint Peter checks his dossier and says, "You're an engineer you're in the wrong place." So the engineer reports to the Gates of Hell and is welcomed. Soon, the engineer becomes rather dissatisfied with the level of comfort in Hell; he begins to design and build improvements. Shortly thereafter, Hell has air conditioning, flush toilets, and

“When you want something the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” - Paulo Coehlo So Paulo Coehlo said that, and I want to go a step forward and say that if your heart has pure intentions, destiny alters its course to accomodate a mere luck by chance situation. To elaborate my point, I would like to share a story of two pen friends who met through the Parker Pen Festival in the 60'z.

Go back in time to discover your future

Recently, I stumbled upon the fact that we already know who we are, when we are born. We play it out as children.However, when reality hits us, we temper ourselves and tame our youthful minds. We call ourselves mature adults and begin a cycle of the worldy worries. We never again turn back in time to see who we aspired to be as kids. We hardly take a moment to figure out why the hell were we so

"Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." "You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of

Terrorism is like cancer: You have to eliminate it. Sometimes you use surgery and sometimes radiation. If you don’t, it eats you up.[1] Violence in various forms has almost become an everyday matter in India. An attack on Mumbai in July, and an attack of Delhi in September are just examples of the same. These attacks, categorized and classified differently, however, hold

Change“You must be the change you want to see in the world.”“As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves.”2. Control.“Nobody can hurt me without my permission.”3. Forgiveness“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”“An eye for eye only ends up

"Yogi Raman put it this way: 'There are no mistakes in life, only lessons. There is no such thing as a negative experience, only opportunities to grow, learn and advance along the road of selfmastery. From struggle comes strength. Even pain can be a wonderful teacher.' " "Pain?" I protested. "Absolutely. To transcend pain, you must first experience it. Or to put it another way, how can you
