  BELONGING MAKES YOU REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT YOU ARE TO SOMEBODY A young entrepreneur, one of the richest in his town, was living with his family. His wife was equally good in her own profession. The couple were blessed with two cute children, elder son was of eight years and little one of five years. One fine day, the father decided to take his children for dinner at their favorite pizza place and then for a just released animated cartoon movie, as the lady was out of town for office work. The trio dressed themselves perfectly for their party time and started the journey in their car. They had super time at the pizza place and were all set for the must-watch cartoon movie. The movie was about to start when the younger son felt worn out and kept his head on his father’s lap sitting next to him. The father lovingly pampered him and made sure that his son was comfortable while sleeping on his lap. All these actions were being observed by his elder son.   While the father ...

WE OFTEN MISS TO KEEP CHECK ON THINGS THAT MONEY CANNOT BUY ANECDOTE 1 A father with his 10 years old son, were travelling in train back to their village. Their co-passenger consisted of one young man, amongst many others. The journey had just started. Sometime later, this 10-year-old boy asked his father with great amazement, “Papa, what are these objects which are moving opposite to us? What are those people doing in fields?” and many more. With a big smile on his face, his father was answering his boy’s every obvious question with delight and satisfaction. Soon after this father-son interaction went a mile, the young man lost his temper. He was frustrated with this conversation. He busted his anger and said to father, “Is your son mentally ill? Is he so dumb to not recognize trees, farmers and other things? Please take him to doctor but do not disturb me. I am really getting irritated with your silly talks.” The father gently smiled and replied, “Gentleman, my s...

A story on WHAT WE SEE and WHAT SHOULD BE SEEN... Once a Guru and his disciple decided to route themselves to all pilgrimage places nearby their city. The Guru was very knowledgeable and foresighted. For all the people who followed him, whatever this Guru wishes was bound to happen in a way or the other. On their way, they walked through a small village where handful of people were residing. They welcomed the Guru and his disciple, made comfortable arrangements for them to rest for a night and privileged them with their care and time. With commencement of very next day, the two had to leave this village to continue their journey. All the people greeted them with the hope to bless them again with their presence. The Guru thanked the villagers with tears. While leaving the village, the Guru said to his disciple, “I wish all the people of this village gets scattered. I will pray that they start living at different places”. The disciple could not digest this statement. Ins...

When we imagine a peacock (male peafowls), the first thing that clicks our mind is its most decorative and beautiful tail, called Morpich (often called as TRAIN). The amalgamation of infinite colors, long yet delicate TRAIN holds much significance in the beauty that they carry. This TRAIN is an inseparable part of Lord Krishna’s character. It is actually difficult to imagine Krishna without this feather. Let us understand Why and How. I was going through the lectures and publications of our Gujarati poet and emcee, Mr. Ankit Trivedi. He was delivering a lecture in USA about Lord Krishna few years’ back. He narrated one incident which indirectly pointed to this TRAIN and its relation to Mythology. One day, during Exile phase of Lord Ram and Mother Sita, they were travelling to reach one Ashram. On their way, Mother Sita was extremely thirsty and was not in a position to reach their destination with dehydrated body. Lord Rama looked for a stream or a lake but he could not...

HUMANS ARE NOT ABOVE ALL, HUMANITY IS ABOVE GOD I received a very impressive message yesterday about this year 2020, especially for cricket lovers. It was, “It is raining, can we just end this 2020 by Duckworth-Lewis method?” This one-liner message is very loud and clear. I feel, we just have to breath this year. If we can manage to do this on our own, we have already embraced victory. Everything else, will happen at its time. This pandemic is a trigger event for all of us for countless things and gestures that we have missed in our way of living. Apparently, if we take proper care of ourselves, we are indirectly contributing in well-being of others. It was not known till this year that, a proper hygiene habits and care would get so contagious J When we will start enjoying our regular office environment, a mask-free journey, Sunday brunch, a sound-sleep in afternoon, one-hour long drive with family and a full course meal in a lavish restaurant, please make sure to rem...

SOME PEOPLE WILL NEVER SUPPORT YOU, BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID OF WHAT YOU MIGHT BECOME A soul, A personality who left us few days back does not need any introduction. A person who convinced us that talent, hard work and dedication is not an intellectual property of particular group of people. A reel and real life hero who taught us that virtual world is fake. For me, a guy who holds brilliant academic achievements can never be emotionally too weak to commit such a deed. He was a metaphor of life whom we lost. Indeed, he was a great actor who could manage to hide all his sorrows, his words, his feelings and his anxiety to achieve everything in life. When you fight a battle with your own emotions, expectations V/S the rest, the result is obvious unfortunately. He gained his own peace and space at the cost of his fame, his popularity, his wealth, his owns and even his life. He actually explained us what inner peace and mental happiness sounds like because everything else, was a ...

If pictures are worth of 1000 words, than sometimes a conversation of two minutes with unknown is worthy of having a permanent place in our heart and mind all our life. I often try to connect my content with a story, not only because it becomes more impactful but because it stays with us, reminds us and corrects us in crucial times. Mr. Mehra was a successful businessman of his state. His life consisted of his wife, his only son, a beautiful and luxurious bungalow with a swimming pool, his personal office and all other amenities that one can desire for. Given above credentials, it is obvious that he was living a hectic life. One such day, he came from office at 11PM. He was too tired to get his dine. He went straight to his room, turned on AC and thought of having a sound sleep for next 6 to 7 hours. He kept changing his position on bed but he could not sleep. It was 2AM in the clock but he was still awake. He then started roaming in his house, in his garden but ever...
