"Childhood days were the happiest" is one of the most common phrase heard during day to day conversations of adults trying to move forward and live their life through the wheels of memories, experiences and learning. Maybe, it is because how perfect we are born and how imperfect we become while growing up and passing through the realities of the world. A short piece of writing describing this journey with hope that we can beam like babies and children again... From childhood to adulthood I have learnt many things. Parents, teachers, adults, elders, and many others taught me many things and I have transformed to an adult from child. Learned, is what I assumed myself until I understood that I am not. It was then when I saw a child and he smiled blissfully at me, While I was still finding a reason to smile. Then I thought why it is so, and after pondering I learnt what I knew when I was a child and what I learnt while I became an adult. When I was a child, I never di...

There are very few people around who have the ability to snooze their alarm while in deep sleep in the morning and wake up completely after the next five minutes when the alarm rings again. Most of us would do two things – either snooze the alarm again or let the alarm keep ringing until the alarm gets tired and it itself surrenders and sleeps along with us.

I think not. And that is why we postpone some things so that we can do the other one. For that we give priority to one over the ...

         There was a boy who, during his college days, chose to drop out of the college and join some creative classes. A very tough choice to make indeed if one wants to have a stable life. At a tender age of 21, he along with his guru Steve Wozniak started, what now is one of the world’s most admired companies, ‘Apple Computers’. And now I don’t need to name the person I am talking about for his work speaks more than he can do of himself. The point which I want to mention is that a choice taken by a single person out of the five billion people living in the world has made such a difference in the world that the world is still walking on the road chosen by him even after he is no more to show us the direction.           Steve Jobs was himself a believer in the power of choices. He always tried to connect the dots. When at the age of 30, he was fired from the company he created; Jobs found himself unemployed but he chose it a...
