The search is on....
Hey! Thanks for all the advises that poured in from you all in my last post's comment page. Each of you sounded like you could make a guru for self-help methods and I lapped up all your words of wisdom like an eager student. It set me thinking a bit. Do I have a philosophy for my life?Yes, a philosophy for life! A philosophy that guides us in the m... more...

Ramblings rammed down your throat
If I start somewhere would I reach a point of satisfaction? Or would I just keep on wandering and searching for a place to call my own- a place where, when I get there, I'll feel I have arrived!?!No. There is no such place which can give me the satisfaction of getting the feeling of having arrived. Why? Well, because no such place exists. Life is a... more...

Choices you make?!
They say a man becomes all that he tries to become only if he tries hard enough. So he does a cock-a-hoop at fortune and destiny and carves out his own life for himself; he fashions his own lifestyle. But does he really? There were these two boys who loved the same girl once upon a time in their school days. Now if it were possible to measure their... more...

A work undone is a bigger burden on the mind than it will be when actually being done!You think and think about an unfinished work and fret and fume about its tediousness to yourself.

She had lost her smile. But that was last on the long list of things she had lost in the course of three months, after the arrival of the baby.

Befriending Solitude
  Loneliness is the cry of your heart; solitude is the song of it Loneliness is when you philosophize that life has a price to pay and solitude is when you believe that life is priceless. When you are lonely, time is your enemy and in solitude, you have one true friend- yourself!  Mrs Ghosh led a quiet, secure life till the day her husband passed a... more...
