Self Help Books

2012-01-01T12:50:00.000+05:30

I am pretty sure that everyone must have read at least one book on self help whose purpose is to guide you to become what you desire to be and most of the times it is to be successful. I have gone through my share of self help books which believe me more than helping out has only ended up confusing me more about how can one make themselves to be successful. They all speak of the ways of life

The Year 2011

2011-12-25T12:33:00.000+05:30

The year 2011 is coming to an end with only a week to go. What a year this has turned out for me. The month Jan brought some good news to me something that I have been running away from a long time and it was only after pushing myself that I went ahead and did what I was supposed to. Somehow things were still in a fog as I choose to lay low instead of doing what I know the best. The year has

Free is what he felt as he looked at the ceiling and smiled. His whole life flashed before him as he saw the traces of his failures to get back up on the ground and live a normal life and find an acceptance within the society. As his vision became blurred, he could only reminisce the good times he had and the regret that he let his family down. The only thing he felt was the release of his

Ravi knew he had the hots for her when he saw her the first time but never did he brought his feelings for her out in the open. His eyes would look at her now and then. Somehow instead of making a move, he shied away from accepting his feelings even though she would be the one sitting right in front on him and he was not good at hiding them. His eyes would move, every time she makes a move, and

Anger

His nostrils flared out the heavy air outside as his eyes shot up with fury. Inside there was the volcano of emotions waiting to erupt but on the outside it was kept on hold, no matter what he felt inside he could not let it out as the fire would have engulfed him too. His face apparently said it all what he was trying hard to hide. In the end it was indecisiveness that let to the anger to

Hardly any time for myself these days. Not that I enjoy it but yes it does leaves me wondering what I am doing? I guess everyone remembers my rants of being a workaholic and guess what it still give me a high then again it’s something that I have cut back on. One of the things you might find surprising is that I actually waited for around six years to do something that I wanted to do so badly.

Astrology, Puja & Tantriks

I am a strong believer of Karma. As you sow so shall you reap. Still there have been times when I have not seen the same happen. It may take time to for one to pay for their bad deeds, but it will happen. Makes me wonder why I still believe in Karma?

Marriage Blues

2011-03-27T12:37:00.000+05:30

A couple of weeks back; I got mobbed by my relatives who were hell bent on seeing me getting married. I am not sure what is wrong with people as soon as you reach a certain age; the only thing in people’s mind is to see you get married. Does not matter what you want to do in life or not, you should get married first. I guess its tough for girls more than the guys especially women who are career

Emptiness

2011-03-13T18:46:00.000+05:30

Do you ever feel the void that reflects the emptiness within you when you are lost in your world? I have felt that emptiness within me more than once. I wondered if it was saying something to me or was it just mocking me that we are alone no matter what we have or where we are. Always wondered if others felt it too and how they dealt with it? I have done stupid things to get over the emptiness

Busy :(((

2011-02-26T21:55:00.002+05:30

That’s how my life has been for the last few weeks. Not that I have been complaining, except for the sleep perhaps. One of the funny things that I noticed in the recent weeks is how easy it is to create a bad image of someone even though the person never did any such thing. Gossip is said to be past time of girls but I think some of the guys can beat them on that. I can vouch. My name tally

Fate/Destiny

2011-02-13T13:16:00.001+05:30

If someone would have asked me a few years back, if you believe in destiny/fate I would have said no and that it’s in everyone’s hands to shape their future. Today things do stand different and if I was asked again the same question, I would say yes there is something called destiny/fate. It can make or break your life, can make your dreams come true or shattered at the end of the day. I have

Are You Living It?

A Question

2011-01-09T16:46:00.000+05:30

I don’t know if you guys remember about my rants about how I hate being in situations where I have to be dependent on others and they don’t even care how it ends up. Apparently I have fallen in these situations many times and most of the times it has happened out of choice. It made me think, if there was a reason why I ended up in these situations? Am I suppose to don the superhero’s cape and

I am sitting in front of my PC and wondering what to write. It’s not like I have a shortage of posts to write but what to write on is becoming the difficulty with the hands not making the effort it should. Somehow today feels to be the day when I break this drought. The year has been a mixed bag for me. The first six months were spend thinking about “what” “why” and “what now” and the next six

The Parody of Funeral

2010-07-17T14:06:00.002+05:30

A few years back, I got a call at home from an ex-colleague informing me about another colleague’s father passing away. Just a few days back, I had spoken to him when he called me up asking about my blood type. I was not sure what to do and took the cell phone in my hand. I was thinking of calling him up but then it struck me what was I going to say to him? I was at loss of words on what I

He looked up towards the ceiling and kept praying for his well-being while Keval and Sanket took care of formalities. For Viren Adi meant a lot more than just a friend they were like brothers. They

It's Complicated

I have a question that has been lingering over my mind for quite some time. I am not sure if I would be able to put it in the right words, but a man gotta try, right?Do you think that there should be any kind of restrictions on married couples when they go out with their friend of the opposite sex? or to put it more aptly would you have a problem with your wife/husband going out with an opposite
