WHEN A ‘YES’ COULD HAVE CONSEQUENCES
Many a times we all have gone into a situation when we realise that we could have stick to our decision and not said ‘Yes’, for a ‘No’. Many a times, due to emotional and compulsive pressure, we reluctantly decided to say ‘Yes’, for a certain ‘No’. I remember an incident that taught me a […]
THE UNFORGETTABLE 29TH OCTOBER 2005
You do believe in God, but there are few occasions when you realise and say – “It could never have happened without the blessings of the Almighty.” There is one such unforgettable day that I would never forget in life. This day taught me the value of people only when you have fear of losing […]
THE SOUND OF MY SHOES
I always had this fascination of wearing shoes that made sound -Tak Tak Tak. I believe that the sound of shoes makes you different from others. It makes you more professional and elite. This story is quite old. One day I saw a lot of eyes turning towards a person whose shoes were making sound […]
THE SCIENCE OF GOOD DAYS AND BAD DAYS
During my early days of career, I was required to travel extensively across India. It was in 1990 when I was travelling from Bangalore to Delhi and met one Sadhu Maharaj in the train. We both were travelling in a sleeper class and a casual conversation began. Whenever you meet a sadhu maharaj, you tend […]
THE OLD JAMMER MAN
We have forgotten to sit together and enjoy finer moments of life. The joint families are divided into three parts – the children, the parents and the grand-parents.

THE ACCIDENTAL CHEF
It was Friday and me and my boss were working late in the office. Just as I was about to leave, my boos asked me to come to his house on the coming Sunday for discussing a very urgent matter. My boss was a man of few words and I could feel that if he has […]
THANK YOU MET SORRY
During the day, most of the time, either we end up saying ‘Sorry’ or ‘Thankyou’ to a number of known and unknown people. While crossing a busy corridor, if someone even gives you a little space to cross, you would end up saying – ‘Thank You’. And at the same time, even if you need […]
TEARS DO NOT CRY
Tears have their own language. One can see them expressing happiness and one can also see them expressing sadness. Tears also fall when one is in deep pain. One day I saw a tear resting on my cheeks. I decided to speak to him – “Hey, how you come out without prior notice or intimation, […]
SUCCESS NEEDS ATTITUDE
The definition of ‘success’ is not explicitly defined, and so is the limit of successes. Obviously, since the beginning of ‘success’ is not defined, the end is also not defined. Many work for success, but only few succeed. There is a difference. Success needs attitude. Once a disciple of a saint asked him a question […]
