(We need it everyday!)
5th April 2017 evening was a horrible night of my life. Everything was going well. I had just entered my apartment campus; I saw my neighbor sitting inside his SUV and like every other time his facial expression was quite irritating. Without any reaction, I simply passed by and took the elevator to my flat. … Continue reading Asking FORGIVENESS – a BIG struggle!
Saakshi’s Questionnaire:
If you could completely eliminate one vice and one virtue from the world, what would you choose?
Ans: I thank you for being gracious and keeping “IF” at the beginning of your question. The current population of our world is 7.2 billion and I am just the one!
Jokes apart, I don’t think I would ever like to eliminate any Virtue as such. If I will eliminate a virtue then what will be the replacement for it? A VICE again?
But yes, “If I could” eliminate a vice, then that would be “the Ignorance in human heart regarding the sovereignty of God”. Initially, a man does wrong in the ignorance of his heart and when he is aware of his wrong deed he never repeats it as we all want to be right in every sphere of our life. To be in the right place we…

Yes, I’m dark and skinny! What’s wrong? Am I in the place of God that I will change the colour of my skin and the structure of my body!
Recently, my cab driver shares with me his problem. Though he is a married young man having a kid yet his struggle is “Body Shamming”! Throughout the ride, he shared how he is always discriminated against and become the joke in his peer group, just because he is a little skinny. He said, “Though I earn hefty and having a beautiful wife and kid yet I’m not happy! I feel like I’m not complete. But what can I do? How can I change my physical structure?”

Hold on your PATIENCE – it always sounds good and easy to advise but very tough, even at times is just impossible to implement it!
Do you agree with me?
A young loner with a broken heart, failed emotions, a babe to the challenges of life, being misunderstood by family and friends in every way! It was a time everyone simply believed his lie but today when he speaks the truth nobody believes him. The people whom he trusted have massacred his life. Now it is such a time for him, he is just all alone… there is no one to give ears to his heartaches, there is no one whom he can trust, there is no one who believes him and the only option left to get rid of this mess is “giving up”… How can he hold his patience?

She: Hi!
He: Hello Dear! What’s up?
She: Nothing…just feeling bored and alone. What are you up to?
He: Working on my presentation for tomorrow’s meeting.
She: Oops…Sorry, I am disturbing you!
He: No…no, it’s okay! I can manage it! I’m good at Multi-tasking!
She: Thank you for giving your time… you’re a superhero!
He: Mention not! You too are important to me!
Isn’t this our everyday story? Then what’s exceptional and notable!
The daily demands of our professional and personal life are so much that hardly we have time for anyone. In school we were taught about 10 to 5 is work hours and the evening is meant for socializing…but alas today socializing only exists on social media. Whereas, in reality, the human is a social animal. Everyone needs at least a little amount of time for someone to refresh life.
The Bible says,
“Whoever refreshes others will…

There are pills and balms to apply on the pain in our body but what about the pain of our heart?
How many times have you cried bitterly and literally, there is no one out there to wipe your tears or to ask you “what happened?”
Whether you are on a crowded street or in a crowded bus but there is no one out there to ask you “why there is no smile on your face today?”
Almost after a fatigued long day, you reached home, unlocked your flat and in the darkness of the room with head to toe full of pain you sat for hours together, desperately wishing there would be someone to offer you a glass of water but alas even after an hour you had to limp to the kitchen just to have a glass of water.
It might look filmy to…

I come to the world with empty hands,
I will leave this world with those same empty hands.
In the course of my life I earned many accolades,
But I’m sure my death will make them void.
If this is the truth and this is the song,
What should be worthwhile to earn?
Whether it is Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Alexander the Great or Dhirubhai Ambani, the Absolute truth for every human being is “Physical Death” and at that finishing line each of us have to leave our hard earned accolades and affluences. This absolute truth squares us with one question – “What is that on earth which will stay with my name even after my death?”
One of my faculties in a leadership seminar told me – “Avinash, whatever you do whether you are aware or not, someone on earth is following your legacy!”
That’s true! Each of our…

One of the scariest nights of my life was a night in October 2015. I was on a full-week official trip to some of the remote places of Odisha and all of my assigned places and contacts were completely stranger to me. The only option for me was WhatsApp or SMS to my new contacts when I arrive. It was 2 O’ clock in the midnight I got down from the bus in the midst of a jungle. I tried to call my contact to pick me but there was no network. It…

We dislike the word “LOSS” but without LOSS there is no meaning!
At High school, I lost my primary school friends…
At College, I lost my school friends…
At University, I lost my college friends…
At my First workplace, I lost my university friends…
At my Second workplace, I lost my first workplace friends…
When “LOSS” becomes the story of every dusk, the journey of life goes jammed. Life seems burdensome and death seems the best place to bask.
Is this life all about How can I replace my loss? Why this is supposed to be my story? Is it my life or just a matter of game?
In my early 20s, my life was juggled with these questions. I was unable to understand the loss and anguish I was going through and it was almost impossible for me to find the right person to explain me the “WHYs’ in…

Oh…My beloved Tear!
You were there when I opened my eyes,
You will be there when I will close my eyes.
People came and went by,
But you my beloved always stood by.
In my utmost happiness, you were there,
When my heart ached, you were there.
Hands changed that wiped you from my face,
Yet visibly or invisibly you stayed in every phase.
No, matter what people think about me seeing you on my face,
Being my true beloved companion you have always strengthened my race.
One of the amazing things of our life is – “We learn everything that we do except shedding tears.”
On my first birthday, everyone welcomed me with open arms, smiling face and joyful heart but I had no idea what was happening around me except crying, feeling the pain and communicating it through my tears! Till my 1st and 2nd birthday everything…

Last year, at the funeral service of one of my uncle there was a bit familiar face among many unknown faces. After a couple of minute of struggling, I was finally able to make it, that’s one of my Facebook friends. I thought let me go and greet him but then again I thought, “Why should I go? Let him come to me!” A while later the service gets over yet I am in my world and he in his! Similarly, another day I was in a conference, and my Uncle introduced me to a man of his age. We smiled at each other, shook hands like two strangers meeting for the first time. Whereas by then we were celebrating our 3rd friendsversary on Facebook and giving regular thumbs up on our posts yet we were strangers!
The boon of social media has bridged the gap in connectivity…
