Relationships - Complex and yet simple

We are social animals, which means we like to associate with people. From the birth till our death we are influenced by and, most of the times unintentionally, influence others. This contact between 2 people, however brief it may be, where they acknowledge the existence of each other creates a relationship between them. The moment you are born you have your first relationship, with your mother, considered to be the most sacred of all relationships in one's lifetime. You are dependent on her for your survival while she is bound to you by the love of offspring. With this you start to grow up gradually and create many more relationships with other people around you. We can categorize all the relationships formed during one's lifetime into 4:   Family Relationships Friendships Romantic Relationships, and Acquaintanceships   Each relationship has its own dynamic however what all of them have in common is a need of interaction between 2 people. To carry any ...

What your children may need from you - Infant Diaries

This is the first part of the series of posts 'What your Children may need from you.' This part is focused on infants up to the age of 5 years old. This post is for all the parents, especially Indians, out there with one child at the very least. Also, I am no parent an I am writing this post from the perspective of a child. I would refer to a child as she to neutralize the male dominance in the society, at least as much as I can. From the moment a child enters the world, the first thing she gets to know is Mother, for those who don't, I really wish you could. For a child, her mother is the anchor in a sea of unknown faces. If she is insecure, she would cry and we all know that her mother can bring her security. Food, sanitation or any other problem an infant may have, mother is the one she would call for. So what all would your child require of you? Let's take it step-by-step: 1. Your attention - Yes, your child would require your attention. She is very...

Just when I thought I got it...

Hey world, I woke up this morning to a shrill note of my mum's voice trying to tell me how much work has to be done by 7.30. Have you ever got that feeling that you are just not ready to get up yet? That it's too soon to get out of bed. Well, I had that same feeling, but I had to get up and iron dad's clothes for office. I so wanted to go back to sleep after I was done, but I knew that mum would just do the same thing as soon as I am asleep. So, I brushed my teeth, ate breakfast and with staggering steps got to my bed. Now imagine that after a hard nights work you get to sleep on your so nice and warm bed. But your parents are the type that can't see you sleep after 6.00 a.m. (in my case its 5.00 a.m. and I'm not joking). I was awake all night due to my work, and very tired. I tried again 4 times to sleep, every time I was asked to do something or the other. After 6th attempt I got so irritated that I just walked into the bathroom and took a really long show...

Does it really show how rich you are?

www.globalrichlist.com This website claims to tell you how rich you are (percentage) in the whole world basing on your annual salary without considering the family member that you are supporting or your necessary expenditure. Also it assumes that you earn more than Rs.17530/- annually as you cannot enter that value or below. The deductions I have made by entering different values is that the site really has just taken the richest person's property value and based on that and an estimate of world population from UN calculates your position in the "Rich List" which would be very vague. Do not get disappointed or be very happy if you get to know your position on the list.

Wikipedia in need of Donations

Snapshot from Wikipedia page We all have used Wikipedia at least once in our lifetime, and if you are familiar with the internet, you would know that almost all the information can be found on Wikipedia. It's been more than a decade since Wikipedia came into existence and soon after its birth it became really famous. Any event, person, Information, anything at all… you may find it on wiki and if not, you may not find it at all. Do you know that it was all for free. Wikipedia never had ads on it (One reason, among many others, why we love it so much) and it ran just based on a community of volunteers. It is the only website amongst the Top Ten being run non-profit. Very recently, I have found that Wikipedia is requesting donations to help it sustain. It seems that they have run out of cash for the site. They want to run it free from ads and independent. I say we can help them and we should. We have used their services for quite some time now. The minimum that we ca...

A History in the Making

Indian PM, Narendra Modi has announced the cancellation of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 notes and launched new Rs. 2000 notes. This has created mixed response from the public. People had posed many questions, like what was the need to launch 2000Rs. notes? Do the people standing in the line have black money? Who is going to take responsibility for those who died while waiting in those lines? PM Modi has promised to bring black money from outside India, where is it? And many more... Have you ever thought that if our previous PMs would have taken strict actions against black money and terrorism, we would never have needed this change. What did we do when people were taking bribes? Did we stop them? No, instead we looked for an easy way out. What did we do when our ministers kept backing out from their promises after elections? We just sat and watched and then made comments on India's situation. Think before you raise questions. We will have more discussion on this and you are wel...

A night at Sangam, Allahabad

I had a chance to go to outer part of Allahabad District few months ago. I was to live there and become a teacher for class 8 to 10 at a private school. This was a good opportunity for me as I always wanted a chance to live in Allahabad, though I did get to be in the main city itself. With this I also had a chance to visit the very famous 'Sangam'. I heard a lot of things about Sangam from being very peaceful to being absolutely marvelous. I found all of those to be very true. The only thing is that the people have Made the rivers go so low that Sangam has lost its strength that I so much heard about. I got to see it from the new bridge on the Sangam. Here are a few pics that I have clicked...

Becoming a guiding light for someone...

Now, I don't wanna brag about myself, so I will say this beforehand, that this is about me but in a good way and not as arrogance and attitude. Yesterday I met a girl at my workplace. She is a new in-training colleague. Now this is not about what comes to your mind immediately. This girl is being mentioned because she wants to start up a blog. And I somehow got to know it while having a casual conversation. So we immediately got to talking about this crazy thing, and in a crazy way. I must say here that I love blogging, Though, I do not get much time to blog, you know being busy and all. the usual excuse. But I do love it. And whenever I can, I Blog. Now this girl wants to start up a blog and cannot decide what topic to start with, how to go about it, and rest of the things we all would have thought of when we planned on starting up a blog. I understood her situation because around 4 years ago I was in a similar situation, and there was nobody to help me out. Finding ...

Diary Entry: Learning from People around Us

Today I was at Mount Carmel College, Bangalore for a event. I could see all kinds of girls dressed in all kinds of dresses talking random shit showing unnecessary attitude. There was this old man, really old and had some problem as he was unable to walk straight. It looked like his whole body was shaking whenever he moved. His job was to pick-up litter all around the college. In his condition I would it was more than tiring and really difficult. I watched him for around 6 hours while I was there. I didn't  any girl giving him any respect or anything to eat, instead they would increase his work more by throwing the garbage randomly anywhere.

Neophobia: Fear of New things

Fear is something that might hinder your advances onto the next stage, be it anything, career, relationship, etc. Fear can be of many types, most of which have a cure. But there is one type of fear that dominates all other and, practically, has no cure at all. The Fear of New, also known as Neophobia. You will experience this type of fear at least once in your lifetime, even if you are the bravest of them all.

Unwanted Guests

Courtesy: NavinHarish.Org In Sanskrit there is a saying as per Indian tradition, "Atithi Devo Bhava", meaning 'Guest is God'. Indians have an obligation to treat their guests with the best they have, whether they can or not. Does this imply that guests can ask for anything that they may want from the host? With the changing times and traditions, people now-a-days feel not too happy when somebody visits unwantedly without prior information. With the fast paced life that we live and the busy schedules that everyone has, its hard to tend to guests without preparation.

Supernatural

Do you believe in Ghosts or such Supernatural beings? This question has been there since time immemorial. A large section of people around the world consider these as just made up phony theories and superstitious beliefs, used for telling interesting stories or scaring kids. But is it really so? There has been a long history of such scary stories. Many movies have now been filmed based on said true events, such as Annabelle, Conjuring and such other. But considering that it just might be a publicity stunt from the film-makers, we can deny it. But what if something of the sort happens with you in reality? Would you believe it then?
