An interesting quote. To my mind 'I don't always like being taught' means - teachers must not teach they must inspire.

Have a great weekend!

Random thought on the occasion of Women's day!

I so very much know that "woman is the glory of creation" ...and the value that woman brings along with her on the planet earth. Beyond all the obvious projections of her being a so selfless.. Mother, Sister, Friend, Girlfriend, Daughter, and may be many more... I am forced to analyse it beyond all these manifestations... by taking some real life references and stark situations. The idea behind the celebration of Women's Day was to showcase equality for women, but even now women are not treated with equality. Just the other day I was trying to get a rickshaw - already late for work and none of these miserable autorickshawwallahs were in sight. Five minutes pass. A triplet of college girls arrive to my left. Finally I see a rickshaw in sight and I'm waving at him like a madman. The SOB totally ignores me and stops for the females. And these females gladly step in and go off to their destination, which will probably be a college where they will sit outside and have ...

Premium Gods You have really become a tough-reach! Is it our sins or insecurities.. or something entirely different that I’m not yet aware of at my present level of Emotional Maturity? ... ...These thoughts have started penetrating my soul since day before yesterday when I stood for around 6-7 hours in the queue for Tirumala-Tirupati Lord Balaji' s Darshan.  Before my intent & message in this post becomes contextually incorrect, let me clarify that I was not at all affected by the wait-time. Because, I’m such an astute believer of Transcendental Powers, and I believe God exist. And these temples are really places where you go seeking their blessings. This needs a lot of efforts both physically & emotionally. And I'm really always ready to endure because the endurance is what magnifies the overall transcendental experiences.

Introspection in Retrospect!

What is it, when I look back and observe things in light of my upgraded intelligence (with an assumption that age make things getting better; just like wines..!!!), I always feel I was constrained by circumstances more than just once... Has there been any single instance of not being contrite about one's past. I'm not sure... How many people out there are having the gift of being really happy with their past. I always wish things would have taken a different course lest I was a bit more attentive, proactive, informed, lucky, ...it keeps going on. Is it some form of self inflicted state of remorse that is called Introspection. Am I being more cynical than the most..! I'm introspecting on these..., more than any thing else. Is it really worth being introspctive is one more area I'm pondering on these days.. I don't know why I suddenly started to give words to my feeling...It must be the awkwardness I am feeling these days. Why is situation alway so difficult. Why is i...
