Lessons from Everyday

Right from the time we get up in the morning, we are always on the move. While some have works pending in their offices, others have to arrange the breakfast on the table. While someone realises that he has overslept and must get up right, the other one switches off the alarm to enjoy extra five minutes of sleep.

      After completing the Herculean task of " waking up", the individual sets off to his workplace (a school, in case of the average kid). An awesome day will mean a bonus or a promotion for the former and praising from a teacher or a smile from a cute girl for the latter. On the other hand, a disastrous day will mean scoldings from boss for the former and scoldings from a teacher for our dear kid. 

The Inevitable

We humans seem to have plenty of time to think. Did I do the right think? Is he worthy enough for my trust? Does he/she like me? These are some of the questions we ask ourselves every day. But what about death? Do we think about it?

      

     Though we know the meaning of death, we lead our lives as if it will never happen to us. When it does come to us, we then realize that we made a
big mistake. We realize the importance of little things in Life. We begin to see the significance of everyday in our lives. We understand the meaning of Life: to fulfill our personal legend, the task which the Creator assigned to us to complete.

Hard work or Fate?

     Life is a journey. Just like a pilot needs to know the route to the assigned place, one too needs to follow a philosophy in life to reach his/her goals. The options being surrendering to fate or working hard, both of them contradict each other. With the former being of divine intervention and the latter having work as priority, one becomes bewildered when asked to choose between the two.

      

     Fate tells us that everything in this Universe is pre-written by the Creator and all we have to do is to wait and watch what happens to us. It seems to have a reason why the inept guy got the job or why Kevin got an F in his report card even though he sat next to the brightest student in the class during the exams.

Copying from Other's Gardens

We humans seem to have some weird demands. One of the most popular among them is that we want to be superior to every person we know. When we meet a person having virtues different than ours or is superior to us in a particular field, we become upset. We want to be the one who is so great that whenever another person compares himself/herself with us,

Of Eccentricity

The world’s population is increasing at a fast pace. So is the variety of people.  Some of them include introvert and extrovert, egomaniac and altruist, cruel and benevolent, believer and atheist.

    

     The most appreciated/ridiculed, yet the least found, is eccentricity. Defined by the Oxford Dictionary as a “a strange and unconventional behavior” being eccentric is damn cool! Having anecdotes being told about them, these people are famous in history. That’s why Crispin Glover once said “Eccentric doesn’t bother me. ‘Eccentric’ is just a poetic interpretation of a mathematical term meaning something that doesn’t follow the lines – that’s okay”.

    

Life is...

Sometimes, we tend to ask ourselves philosophical questions. While the answer of some of these questions is found after 30 seconds of contemplation, the answers of the other questions are obtained after seeking the help of a spiritual guide v.i.z. priest, fakir or clergyman. But even after performing the tasks mentioned above, sometimes the answer doesn’t reveal itself. These type of questions can be called the “serious philosophical questions”.

Value Crisis in the Indian Society

Values are something with which we Indians are very familiar with. Also called ethics, values form a part of the Indian society; a part which is a pseudonym of it. Even the West sees us as spiritual, peace-loving people who have the ability to change their poor standard of living but do not do so. Even yogis are today considered typical Indians.

Mistakes: Blessings in Disguise

“Mistakes give us experiences and experiences lessen our mistakes”

Many a times, we are afraid to try something that we haven’t done before. No matter how hard we practice oratory, we always hesitate to take part in oratory competition. Why? This is because we are afraid that we may make mistakes at the crucial moment. And to us, mistake means becoming the laughing-stock of

Corruption : Friend of Foe and Foe of the Economy

Corruption. This ten letter word is any economy’s biggest enemy. It is even worse than terrorism. While terrorism destroys buildings and infrastructures, corruption prevents its (building and infrastructure’s) construction in the first place. If not cured, the epidemic ‘corruption’ results in the loss of a nation’s money, which otherwise would have been invested in the development of the infrastructure of a nation. In a nutshell, it snatches prosperity
