The Bank of Memories!

Nazneen was sweating extensively as tears were rolling continuously down her cheeks. She kept swearing, cursing and nodding her head left to right as if refusing to see the truth. Just then a hand on her shoulder made her pause. She turned around, stared into his eyes, and could not resist.

Her cry now was intense, deafening; while she was trying to express some incidents with her family thus,

The Impact of Colors!

When boring sesame rolls can get, a facelift...we can also change our mood, the state of mind and disposition over any situation by either adorning a particular color or furnish the environment of the work place.


Mantra for today: “Mere color, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways. ”

A Period of Doubt

Since all of us are imperfect, there are times when we face ambiguity on various junctions in life.


Sure, that is normal.

Question is how do we come out of it?

Do we start biting our nails (which some of us do) or breathe rapidly?

With no rains, the grass is parched, dry and yellow. Felt as if driving through a desert!

Just as the water is necessary to quench our thirst and give color to our universe.

Thoughts play the same role in our mind. They can either make us jump with joy or quiver in terror for no rhyme or reason.

Mantra for today: Earth, one planet but educates us in so many ways!

 I was digging hard since the harsh winter had solidified the soil and made it all dry and parched.

My "lunatic" neighbor

Every morning once the kid is dropped to school I try to go for a brisk walk around my neighborhood to jolt my metabolism so that it keeps pumping when I indulge into my routine of to-do's, must have's, deadlines, hubbubs of the day!

On the first day of my morning walk, I saw a man in his mid-50's sitting on his front lawn and waving out to passersby. At first I was a little hesitant, so I just
