“Achieve! Achieve” But Why?
Discussions on productivity just sound like another form of the litany “ACHIEVE! ACHIEVE” to me. This voice only grew louder and meaner as I found myself unable to continue in the corporate and academic world and was left wondering – “So then, now what?” So what if I get 78 on 100, or 85 on… Continue reading “Achieve! Achieve” But Why?
Suck Away At The Mango
Suck away at the mango of life. Suck away at its pulp. Drink in every drop of its juice with awareness. Grate your teeth in its reshaa and on the guthlee. Take in the bliss. And steeped in joy, fulfillment and gratitude, with every ounce of life having been sucked, fling it away at the… Continue reading Suck Away At The Mango

Beauty is Everywhere. Sitting Quietly, Waiting To Be Seen.

Riding on Amazing Technology
A piece of writing has to be about something. But why? I and my wrist just like going for a trot on paper, riding on a pen. Some like to have an array of shoes, some, an array of cars. I cherish the array of textures of pen moving on paper. My favorite being smooth,… Continue reading Riding on Amazing Technology
Unnecessary Happiness

When I am feeling “unnecessary happiness”, my natural way to express it is to hug someone. Normally my Mom is the recipient of these hugs. She is used… Continue reading Unnecessary Happiness
