Meena Mangalathil:

Hey Guys!!!! We all at one time or other need to move out from a rut. But this rut was once a saving grace for us. So we should be grateful for it. But to part ways in a friendly manner is not very easy. So I have put up a very friendly resignation letter. If ever a need arise to resign, you can surely use my resignation letter. From Name of the Employee Designation Name of the Firm Address. To Name of the Employer Designation Name of the Firm Address. Sub :- Resignation Letter Dear Sir I regret to inform you that I would like to tender my resignation as (designation) effective from (date). I hereby give 1 month notice of my intention to leave the firm. I made this decision, not because I’m unhappy with the opportunities you have presented, I have received a bigger opportunity which would alleviate my financial situation. It’s been a great pleasure working with you. Kindly relieve me from my post and please issue me a job relievi

There are some things or instances at some part of our lives which really becomes a turning point to our very existence. Sometimes, it might be a big issue or just a trivial matter. For me, I have had hordes of experience on my very person which has been intrinsically interwoven into my life and its very beautiful too to look at when I sit and evaluate. It really helped me be a better person. But one instance really did hurt me. It didn't happen to me, but an incident triggered my memory of the previous incident. Long time back, may be five years back, it happened in a remote village in Andhra Pradesh. My family and myself decided to buy a plot of land. So, every evening we went around looking at good properties. So once our auto driver came to pick us up for our next destination,he and myself were waiting for others to join. As all were ready and when we started the auto, a widow passed us. Immediately, the auto driver spat and got off the auto. We were surprised by his acti

Once upon a time a young man named Sadiq and a young girl named Haseena got married, they were new to the business of marriage. Both were innocent to worldly vices. They shared their wows and woes. One day, another boy named Ansar came to this village and saw this girl, immediately, he wanted to have her. He checked her background and came to know that she was married. That didn't stop him from wanting her. He dreamed of her as his girl and started plans to make her his. So he befriended Sadiq and became inseparable. One day, when Sadiq was away, Ansar came to Haseena's place and requested to use the toilet. Haseena without any fear allowed him to use the toilet. Haseena went to the kitchen to prepare food for Sadiq. At that time, Sadiq arrived to find Ansar coming out from the toilet and Haseena, nowhere in sight. This, made Sadiq angry, he started doubting Haseena. He made her life a living hell and slowly, the innocence which was there when the family life began started fad

I have heard about selfless love with Jesus Christ and great saints. But in this day and age, its a rarity which I cannot even comprehend to think. Now the person who was selfless was my dad's friend's children. I last met them some 24 years back. Myself or my family had no contact with them resulting in an unattended relationship and for us life flowed without any thought of them. They were just our friendly past. Yesterday I accidentally met these people. They didn't recognize us but I did (luckily). Anyway, we introduced ourselves and their elation at meeting us was mind boggling and I was thinking, "Isn't it a bit queer". But still I was happy at least they recognized us by name. Now to one of the persons I met, her name is Celine. She is not a person who is overly gushy type, very silent and unobtrusive in character. Do you know what she did? She helped to keep the memory of my dad's grave intact. Yeah, I know, you didn't understand. Now, the

These days I am just horded with different types of love, like mother’s love, friend’s love, wife’s love, husband’s love, child’s love, teacher’s love, etc....etc.... Do you think, there is any wrong with this type of love? I do not think so. And we all do have love affairs in different categories, for example, I do have friends, I have my parents, grandparents, cousins, uncles, aunts, neighbours and my brother, I am a teacher, I have my own kids and a husband. So I have been in varied form of love affairs. So does that mean, I am a whore (prostitute)? No. Yes, You are right. We do not become a whore if we love people around us. In actual fact, you are very lucky, if you are capable of loving someone. Whenever I think of love, the first thing that comes to mind is, Charles Dicken’s, Uncle Scrooge. I felt like smashing his face when he used to say “Humbug”. That is how we would be, if we are unable to love. So do not underestimate the power of love. Now, when I say, you should

Today, while I was in church, something happened, which made me question something and the answer was there immediately. It was something with regard to my travel agency. The person who had given me to look after is planning to take it back. So when the information was passed to me, I didn't feel anything. In fact, I was thinking it was all probably for the best because, the place I have now was brought to me, when nobody needed it. I just took it and made it successful. But that doesn't mean that I own it. No, I cannot afford to own it. But one thing I can say happily, I used it to the maximum and I do not regret it. Now, this thought came, while I was in church and my thoughts went to the time limit of everything, like the number of years I serve in one place or the number of years I live or the number of years I study or the number of years I be a wife or mother or whatever, the friends I meet, etc.. There is the countability for everything we do, which we call finitenes

We all do not have the same financial status. A pauper has one and the prince has another. But we all sure have one. The only advice is, do not get yourself in debt by overspending. Now if you have only Rs. 1000/- to spend for a day, be frank to yourself, and spend within that price range. And this range makes a lot of difference in many ways 1. The spaciousness of the room 2. The neatness of the room 3. The thickness of the bed 4. The location of the place 5. The dealing of the staff, etc....etc.... And we put all the services of all category hotels in a scale of 1 to 10. The lower the budget, the scale would be lower. I work in a place where the category of the hotel is in the scale of 6 and the guests there cannot tolerate or even step into a 3 scale hotel, even if they purposefully decide to lower the budget. And then its a lot more replanning, rescheduling, changing & money loss for the guest and humiliation for the travel agent. So its better to know the bud

Now, that is one question, you should know before you travel. And that is a very important question which you should answer when you plan for travel. We are all here in this world searching for something fulfilling and its not same for all. My favourite place is sitting by a small brook under the shade of the tree, with my legs dipped in the water letting the small fishes eat, with a romantic book to read and something to munch and sip. But my family would ask, "Are you crazy? What is there in a brook. So ..... now you understand, all people are not alike. So decide, what makes you happy and what makes others happy and check for the places, which caters to your need or ask a travel agency, so that they can help you out on that score and easier to plan. Then bring a balance to the places you plan to visit. So that the whole family gets to fulfill their wishes easily. And that would be a first successful step in the tour programme. Now the next thing you should be aware of

I am living in a place where history is everywhere, in the buildings, the trees, the seas, the backwaters, etc... You know history is made by the people, the people who lived here, live here. That means, you and I are making history for the future generation. The past generations had given us something to say about, the buildings, the trees, the trades, the ......., etc...etc.... Now if we fast forward it to a hundred years ahead, what might have we given to the future generation? I hope you understand what I mean, we are making changes everywhere advancing everything, which are now backfiring against us. Do you know why this happens? It is simple, we are proud of our knowledge, education and our capability. You know, that is a big blunder we are doing. There was a time when the people had not had all this know how, but still they built the pyramids, the great china wall, the greatest cave paintings, the greatest drainage systems, water systems, townships, which we are curren

I just happened to read the law of attraction from a site. Please check out. Every living thing has a unique energy signature, a vibration. As humans, our vibration changes by what we focus on. When you look at a beautiful sunset or watch a puppy playing, your vibrations will soften. If you pay attention, you will feel a quality of openness and love. Conversely, if you check in with yourself while watching the 5 o’clock news or a political debate, you’ll probably notice that your vibrations will shift into a state of contraction, actually pulling away from the quality of love. In other words, you will feel negative feelings. Likewise, our vibrations change by the thoughts that we keep our attention on, especially by the thoughts that hold our dominant attention. If your mind is predominantly filled with lack or resistance, you will feel a negative energy pervade your being. On the other hand, if you train yourself to focus on positive thoughts, you will feel yourself aligning wit

I have a tendency to give a message to my guest in a small paper or by a small card after they take a tour. Its my writer's tendency I feel. And I usually do not ask what message they received. So yesterday, one guest read her message and said, "Oh!!! it's a good message, I should really keep this in mind always and folded and kept it in her bag. Then we continued talking. In between the conversation, she said, "you should really practice the message you are giving to everybody because you are talking just opposite what you are writing." I was surprised because I didn't know what her message was and to be frank, I felt ashamed too. You know, even if I write great dialogues sometimes I return back to my basic nature at some point or other where fear, indecisiveness, laziness, anger, sadness, etc... do take a place in our life. Anyway she read the message she got, " Everything happens for a reason." I smiled and said, "Sure I will do that."

When we are doing a work which we feel boring, we would naturally feel sleepy. But at that very moment, if we get something to do which we really love to do,then we all know that we could never close a wink. But why do we differentiate work? Now if we are denied to do what we love to do, then what will be our response? Well the answer to the last question is predictable :- Nooooooooooooo Don't do that to me. Isn't it not? You know, years back I had this same predicament. I was denied what I really loved to do. To become a doctor. It was my very existence, my dream and one fine day, my family felt and said "this profession doesn't suit a lady, especially an Indian lady, who would eventually marry and bear kids, your work would hinder the smooth running of your family. So its better to have only a basic education, just enough knowledge to help children in studies. So I feel you should stop studies and think of marriage." I was then just 17 years old. Thus my p

Today, my sister in law spoke, that one of her friends were speaking of the bad effects of sugar creating heart disease, diabetic, etc.... But for me, sugar is an integral part of my life because I have a sweet tooth. And one more miracle happened to me with sugar. My waistline was a bit extended, well, not bit but far more than to my liking and I was trying to reduce it. So I tried yoga, walking, etc... But was of no use. I was still the same an a little more fat. It was during that time, I got a room mate, who was a Korean. She was also a Korean doctor. I came to know about it, when I saw her with all the needles stuck on her toes and fingers. So I asked her, which is the easiest disease to treat in her system of medicine. She replied, obesity and diabetic. I just couldn't believe my luck. So I immediately asked, "Can you treat me for obesity?" She said, "No problem just drink sugar syrup or jaggery syrup mixed with water for four times a day 15mts before food.

The best way to cure fever is, soak a handkerchief in cold water and keep it in your left hand for an hour, immediately the fever comes down and if you can do that four times a day for an hour each. Then I can guarantee you. The fever would be gone. Never let the fever to get aggravated because, it would really get lots of complications not only in the brain but also the whole immune system will be down bringing us down with other diseases too. See you tomorrow. Until then, take care. Bye Meena

Today I accidentally saw an advertisement of a big gathering of the great beautifying people. The advertisement was like this, "For everyone wanting to meet the stars of the hair and beauty sector, the mega event of the year." You know, when I read this, I knew, there would be an interest in every heart. But why do we have so much flutter when we hear about beauty? Simple, we feel that we would be accepted only if we have beauty. But in fact, I would like to ask one question. What is your criteria about selecting your friends? Or I will rephrase the question. How many friends do you have who are really beautiful? The answer would be either two, one or none. What does that mean. We are simply wasting our time, making ourselves beautiful. We all look for a person who is kind, smiling, easy to talk to, etc...etc... isn't it? So my advice is be beautiful at heart. Then you would be more popular than the most beautiful world in the Universe. Did I exaggerate? No, not at

Prosperity is the result of putting the law of seed time and harvest to work for you. Gal 6:7,9 1) What do you really want? Be specific in your petitions to the universe. Don’t keep affirming that you want a generous income and fulfilling work, without clarifying exactly how much you wanted to earn, and in what form you wanted the work to arrive. That’s like walking into a restaurant and telling the waitress, “you want food.” What kind of food? How much food? Hot or cold? Would you like a beverage also? What condiments would you prefer with your meal? Many of us are vague in our desires. We know the general result we’d like (an end to financial difficulties, a better job, etc.) but there are many more facets to consider. First things first – we need to have a pathway for the prosperity to enter our lives, it might be business management, or hair styling, or baking or writing. It is possible to earn great money doing something other than what you truly love, but too many of us make

Pimples/Acne is the most dreaded skin problem that lots of us face especially the teenagers. It’s been the woe of millions of male & female all over the world and the most commonly complained about skin affliction at any dermatologist’s clinic. It may be terribly embarrassing particularly when that ugly pimple appears right before a special date, a celebration or some other important occasion that you’re looking forward to. Frequent breakouts may also lower our sense of confidence and self-esteem. An important hint to consider relating to acne breakouts are knowing exactly what it is and the causes of it. This is important for avoidance and for your mental health, simply because acne breakouts are only partially due to your daily health. Acne breakouts are triggered once your oil glands grow to be stopped up. In addition to getting messy skin area, possessing skin area cells that get rid of within an unequal fashion may also trigger acne. Do not pinch, prod, or poke your blemis

Today in my family we had a very small fight, which could have aggravated, if I hadn't got the insight into the cause of it. It was so trivial a cause, that I felt, it should have been overlooked. But you know, we people are so strung with a joint family tagging around, that we make all sorts of mistakes just at every juncture of our life. Now, while this juggling of words were taking place, I was a silent spectator because I didn't want to add oil into the already raging fire with my words. I saw the faces, the expressions of all around. It was not good. So this made me think, we are all here to be happy and not to be sad, then why is it that we are always sad, with our own people more than outsiders? It was then, it came to me like a splash of cold water on my face, that if this is the case with us, then we are the reason for its origin. I know its very difficult to believe it. But its true. We all hear one jargon of Darwin in all aspects of life, whether its profess

Today, I met a daily wager, who had worked for our family for many years. I smiled at him and asked, "How are you Rajan? Did you buy fish?(As he was coming from the market). But he didn't reply or smile. He was looking at me, as if I had grown two horns on my head. I was surprised because before he used to joke with me and talk so much, that I used to go another way, to avoid him. So this way of behaviour was really weird. when I asked my friend, I came to know, he had forgotten everything even people. I felt sad. So I thought, its time to learn what causes this forgetfullness. What is Alzheimer's disease? Alzheimer's disease is a progressive disease in which healthy brain tissue degenerates, resulting in problems with memory, behavior, and other mental abilities. It is the most common cause of dementia (the loss of memory and other intellectual abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life) and the seventh-leading cause of death in the United States.
