The official learning in human life begins with the entry into school even though , the child is exposed to various factors of known learning at home and unknown learning at various incidents. The blackboard is the major tool used for teaching. Written, erased and retained to explain the various aspects of learning is what we come across with the blackboard. But, before beginning to use the board for any other purpose, you would have noticed that the date and the day are the first most written or corrected. The teacher ensures the day and date are written correctly and then proceeds with the new lesson or continues with the previous class. When we relate this with our life, it tends to teach the basic of learning, to remain in the present, here and now. Mind used as a vital tool for learning as the blackboard needs to be brought to the present moment and ensure the date and day are written as here and now and then the learning begins or continues. The next step followed as in the bl...

Even though , most often complete and perfect are used as one and the same, a closer look clearly brings out the subtle difference. A complete personality need not be a perfect one. But a perfect one is indeed a part of the complete personality. Complete consists of both the perfect and the imperfect, both the good and the bad, up and down. The journey to have a darshan of the God, up on a hill consists of both the climbing up and the climbing down phase too. only then it becomes complete. Of course , the most memorable moment at the time of darshan is indeed valuable. But, before and after also play and contribute a vital role in that completeness. Life, indeed is also complete. Some known and unknown, some pleasant and unpleasant, some to understand and rest to accept -- all become a part of this complete journey. When any one part of this is ignored, then it becomes depleted. Depletion can only have depleted results. Probably, i may wish to address creation as complete than perfec...

One of the most dreaded word to even pronounce is the general feel with many in large. Death is described as some loss which can never be replaced and not as a parting. Of course , this beautiful word , death has always fascinated me and keep wondering about that most celebrated moment.The game is never complete without the beginning and end with utmost fun, as much as while playing it sportingly. When we decide to move to a new place for a livelihood from our home town, imagine someone, a friend, relative or even a stranger comes forward to offer a place exclusively for us and tells us," It is all yours as long as you wish to be here". We are indeed delighted to accept that offer and with gratitude move into that place and start living there. Over the years , we also start to treat that as our own home and keep continuing to live with all the fun, joy, sorrow, sickness,success etc. When the time arrives for us to leave to back home, what happens?? The clock starts ticking.....

SEASON'S GREETINGS TO THE ENDLESS SEASONS.... Human race, probably, has been the only creation that created occasions to celebrate. Probably, the so called development of the mind somewhere lost the innate nature, celebration. Watch the flock of birds flying and it resonates the feel of celebration even though they are just flying to some other destination. They don't need an occasion to celebrate . They are simply living in their original nature and that is celebration. It is okay, we have created occasions to catch up with the essence. But then, are we truly living in celebration? have we made use of the occasion to revive the essence of celebration and allow it to remain as an integral part of our nature? If so, then , where is the need to long for yet another occasion? Pondering on these thoughts, the beauty of celebration and being alive to every moment gets enhanced. Even during an occasion, many people get lost to the past and keep recounting and comparing with the pr...

What is conflict? where does it arise from? when does it strike? A closer look at these queries reveals that there is a gap between the thought and the action. here thought, may be an idea that goes well in tune with one's self and an action that needs to be performed much against the idea. So, it means a gap between the idea and the reality or the truth. When the idea becomes the action, there is no conflict. This can be seen even in small instances. Some even call this as harmony in work, harmony in action etc. But the same idea can become a monster or just a hurdle and bring about conflict accordingly if the action to be performed differs. simple instances like someone who is so used to an independent living might find it really difficult when it comes to sharing his room or his personal things. It is just a thought that can turn into a boulder in letting the adaptability to happen. Dealing with outward conflict with situations and people primarily depends on how well one is in...

In today's world of shopping, most of the products especially the clothes come with one or many tags like price tag, fabric care tag etc. The tags are the ones that lets us know the prime detail -- the price tag. The cost that lets us decide whether we can afford it, whether the cost is right for the product etc. It is the information which is vital in deciding to buy the product. Once the product is bought, the first thing that needs to be removed from the dress before wearing it, is the tag. We ensure that even the string(which is used to tie it ) is cleanly removed, else, it can cause uneasiness while wearing the dress. That which helped in deciding or providing information becomes useless once its work is over. It just needs to be dropped or else it becomes a hindrance in the usage. Life with many situations, associations and relationships too come along with these tags. It is for us to read them well, decide and then drop it. No doubt they have been instrumental in providing...
