(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!
We humans are majestically interwoven in relationships YET, we find some kind of brokenness everywhere. We have trust issues with people all the time. Our environment is not friendly to us. Often we fight with guilt and largely, we just go in the way opposite to godliness. God and our life seems like the pole of two extremes.
We are broken, we cannot trust one another,
We need protection from each other!
NOW, it is a solid state of affairs…
Once, someone shared with me her deepest secrets on WhatsApp chat. But after our chat, she asked me to do something which I had never thought anyone would ever ask me. She said, “Brother, I trust you but I cannot trust your phone and others who might check your phone sometime. Would you please delete our chat and send me the screenshot?”
Brokenness in relationships is the violation of purpose…

Have you ever gone to the kitchen but forgotten why have you gone there?
Have you ever broken the egg, spilt it in the wash basin and the eggshell in the frying pan?
You caught the bus for office but got down elsewhere!
In your conversation with your friend, you said some words without understanding the proper meaning of it!
Yes! Such an incident happens in our lives every day and that’s what BRAIN CRAMP is all about.
BRAIN CRAMP is a momentary mental lapse, such as an inability to remember something, to focus one’s attention or to understand something. It is such a condition when our mind is elsewhere and something is forgotten or done incorrectly because of it. A moment in which we fail to think clearly or act sensibly.
Don’t worry, it doesn’t mean you and me are mentally sick people!
In fact, it is just a…

(Captured by Avinash Das)
I captured this picture on 16th May 2018 morning and this is how my day begins every day.
As I wake up every morning, the first one hour I spend with a Cup of Tea, two pieces of Britannia Marie biscuits, my e-Bible and my daily devotional “Our Daily Journey”.
Like every other normal human being, my day begins with the need for wisdom and knowledge to blot-out my confusions, the answers to my inner questions, the strengths (ability) to overcome my weaknesses and the need of a perfect roadmap for my life’s journey. Without it, going to bed happily will be ‘Twelfth of Never’. But WHERE CAN I GET IT ALL?
The Bible says,
“Lord, let the morning bring me WORD OF YOUR UNFAILING LOVE,
for I have PUT MY TRUST IN YOU.
SHOW ME THE WAY I should go, for TO…

Last week Pogo (my Pug) peed on our doormat and my Mom slipped on it. She got the swelling and slight crack on her right leg. The Doctor advised her to wear rigid splint whole day and remove the splint before going to bed. Yesterday night when she was removing the splint Pogo was watching her and immediately he started licking my Mom’s right leg, that to particularly the swollen part. After the incident, we noticed a stark difference in his behaviour especially with my Mom, he behaves very soberly.
It might seem unrealistic and funny as he is a mere animal! Let me share you a couple of happenings of my life with humans recently to see the difference and the message I derived out of it.
In the recent past, I went through some unpleasant days of my life. I was feeling very low and discouraged. During such…

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.

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…
