I was walking to the playfield with a ball in my hand I recalled the story of doing justice by blinding a man. A man wandered into their rival tribe’s terrain Where a tribal accosted him, whom he blinded In his frantic effort to escape. The chieftain’s men foiled his attempt. Took him to the chieftain for his command; Who, to the rival’s laments did not pay heed. And ordered his men to…

My brother once asked me these quite valid and relevant questions: Has our education system failed in its objective of developing us into wise and happy human beings(individuals)?Why do we have so many online and F2F coaching and…

Ramnavami is a Hindu festival commemorating the birth of Lord Rama, a human incarnation of Lord Vishnu the sustainer of the world. On the festive occasion of Ramnavami like any other office goer enjoying the holiday relaxing over a cup of tea and newspaper, my eyes caught the brutal picture of two men pinning down a 17-year-old girl to the ground and let a man mercilessly flog her. According to…

When we need to decide on a course of action to solve a problem, we may work out a process, which may not give…

Our reaction or response depends on our knowledge, experience, habits, beliefs and, faith that often often define our perceptual bias and prejudice. This often prevents us to seeing straight without any contextual reference to the object of cause and let our perceptual bias react spontaneously to the stimulus, the cause,…

When we take a close look at our rather mundane life we can perceive subtle nuances of our feelings, thoughts and actions that show how the various hues and shades of our emotions make our dull and lacklustre existence appear quite interesting, and insightfully thought-provoking. 

Here are “STORYLETTES”! They are not just short, in fact, they are miniature stories that are interestingly…

Imagine you are enjoying a merry-go-round ride until you realise you can’t get off it. Overcome by fear, you will pity yourself for having opted for the ride and only to get caught in an endless loop!
