Can a board game take us on board into the journey  of life? maybe, if you wish to join me in this exploration. Most of us would have come across the board game called, "Life". A group of 5 to 50, kid, teen, adolescent and the adult started to assemble and go for it. An excellent combination of all stages except the old age, good mixture of various states of mind, let me have the opportunity to enjoy and be there to share the experience.

It takes a complete shape only when a wooden handle is provided on one end. The one edge of the sharpened blade gets fixed into the wooden case, thereby, providing strong and comfortable access to the usage of the instrument.

When looking at the mind, intellect and its connectivity to the Self, i felt it is easier to understand and relate it with the example of the knife. Intellect, as a sharpened blade is essential to discriminate, execute. It becomes a dangerous tool only when i...

With a non-ending known and unknown list of wishes to be fulfilled, it is indeed rare to find the contentment in one's own self and in others too. World of competition, choices, ever craving mind's action, indeed it can become a task to experience contentment. The mind is known for its selective choosing and finding a niche in that comfort zone, even if it is meant like associating with pain and discomfort. When we observe closely, we discover that it is not the status or the wealth that decides the experience of fulfillment. It is the mind that is associated with the person that plays the decision making - either to choose cribbing even with the best of everything or to just be filled with contentment even with nothing. Basic need is indeed a must for everyone(food, clothing, shelter) and no one can ever draw a conclusion on the basic for it differs from one to one. so is it when it comes to experiencing this wonder of contentment. Infact, the requirement is much much less alm...
