Hey Guys!!!! The best thing about smiling is, it has many expressions packed into one single smile, its like 1000 words are packed into one smile, its like the pleasure of presence expressed. Its lots of things. For example, you see a person, instead of saying "Hi!!!" you just smile. So when the smile is returned, its like, "Hi!!!! It was a pleasure meeting you or it might mean, I am not averse to have met you, etc..." If the smile is not returned, then he/she  is not interested in making acquaintance with you. When a mother sees her child - the first expression is the smile and that goes for the child too, the expression of happiness, love and relief packed in one. When a lover sees his love - the first expression is the smile of Love, happiness and contentment. When a husband sees a wife - again the famous smile. For each and every facets of life, smile is a must, an inevitable necessity. Isn't it beautiful, Communication without languag

Hey Guys!!! As a human being, we have several boundaries - the boundaries of countries, lands, seas, air,  houses, rooms, personal space and even relationships. Now, why do you need these boundaries? For the smooth running of relationship between countries, people and between family members. I do not know much about history about creating boundaries and I am not going into it. I am much more into getting into the ways and means to have a life with happily ever after. One day, I met a mother of two boys and she was complaining that she does not want to welcome one of her son's friend (been together from childhood till 27 yrs) . I was a bit surprised, because this long a friendship, does bring out a special affection, so I asked her, "Really!!!! Why?" She replied, "This boy, whenever he comes to my house, comes directly to the kitchen, opens the refrigerator and checks out whether there is any food to eat and if there is anything he takes

Hey Guys!!! Today I would like to speak about a very special saying which has a very big impact in life,  "Early To Bed Early To Rise Makes A Man Healthy, Wealthy And Wise." As a boarder (living in boarding school), the early to bed and early to rise was a must, I had to wake up at 5 am to go for the 6 am mass and that goes for all the boarders. At that time, I wished if I had been home, I could sleep to my heart's content, but that was childish thoughts to just simply waste time - sleeping. Now I would like to ask a simple question, have you gone to space and seen the galaxy or to the depth of the ocean and seen the many wonders inside?  For me the answer is no but I have seen it in movies, I grew up with stories of the dolphins and octopus, etc.... but if we have gone or not, they give a sense of awe, just when we look at the vast ocean or look up at the sky, they make us feel small - a sense of being a speck which is nothing with respect t

Hey Guys!!! Have you wondered why some sickness cannot be cured? or why one fine day, you are afflicted with sickness and for lifelong you are bedridden? It does not mean that you had a viral attack or vitamin deficiency or some such sort. Any sickness, which is curable can be said due to above reasons, but when it doesn't cure after all the medications and treatments, then you will have to go deeper - A depth within you. Just like we going into the deepest part of the ocean or the universe, but its much more easier to go into you. If ever you have read my previous blogs, its mostly full of crap called love. Have you wondered why all the religious books reiterate that Love thy neighbours as thyself? Well, there is a secret behind it, Love, compassion, kindness, peacefulness are all part of the same emotion – Love. Each emotion other than that stated above creates acid in your body. Any acid when it falls in any part of the body destroys that part

Hey Guys!!!!! Have you had a moment of thought, when you felt, what if I had done a thing in a different way? To be honest, everyone gets this thought at one time or the other. During the time of decision, we decide, to play safe. But after that we see the results of the decision and that is when we think, what if I had done it the other way? It is natural, but I learned this very early in life. In boarding school, every moment of my life circumstances was due to the decisions made either by me or by my boarding mistress or by my parents or my friends. Even though my parents think that they provided me a pampered lifestyle where I didn’t have to do anything except eat, drink, study, play and pray, they forgot that in these activities there are people involved and very different types of people.   So I had to make decisions, several times a day on a regular basis. For a three year old kid, decisions   were made with ease and without fear some decisions have ba

Hey Guys!!!! Here in the place I live, its really....and  literally hot, in the sense that its sweaty hot..... In the climate  sense, it can be yuck!!!! but in the sense of the place, the people, the ambiance, its simply wow!!!! You might wonder what I am getting at, its that, its not necessary that it should be a destination-destination to love a place. Its the positive attitude of life that brings a positive outlook to wherever you are with whoever you are. As I always tell you, positive outlook happens when you love your self, respect your self. You should feel that you are the best.  To be the best, its not necessary you should be the winner, giving the best shot at whatever you do and you are happy with whatever the outcome,  is the best win. The Result - You will respect your self, love your self and be happy with your self and that will bring a new perspective of life and a brightness around you. That is what makes you love the place where you are. Why don't yo

Hey Guys!!!! Love Marriages!!!! Hmmmm....Its so fantastic an experience to be in Love. And I love to see the happiness when these guys decide to get married. In India, the elders, just sigh and shake their head and say, "Its no use, they are doomed to break." And Lo Behold!!! it so happens as such. Do you think, its jinxed? Everywhere in the world its the same. Do you really feel that the Lover couple purposely do what they do because they want to break up the relationship, which they have decided to be happily ever after? We all know the answer to it. Its Emphatically No. Then why is it they break up? Well, we'll check out how we can save a break up from my perspective. Full stomach is a must. Have a secure job, or else, love can sustain until the stomach rumbles, afterwards, believe it or not, you are going to fight for sure - For Food (ha..ha..ha.. what a joke!!!) Little acts of kindness is a must. Whether you believe it or not, the lady is the ligh
