Have you ever wondered how it feels when every part of your body explodes and tears? Have you ever wondered how it feels when you see your limb meters away from your body? Have you ever pondered to think how it may feel when you see your loved one moving closer to death, but you cannot do anything about it because you yourself are lying in a pool of blood?

These are instances out of a terrorist attack. I strongly believe that we must inculcate seeds of love, compassion and tolerance in our children which may help prevent such cold hearted deeds.  Read More »

You work hard all day long, but at the end of it your colleague gets the hike.Have you faces this often?

Then I believe you are a victim of the luck syndrome. There is a proverb that hard work always pays, but that need not be true always. It's youor luck thats important. If you are in your phase of bad luck, then any amount of hard work that you do will not pay dividends.

The right combination of luck and hrad work is important.  Read More »

Sudoku is taking the world by rage....it's even outdating the traditional crossword puzzles....so what's so special about sudoku....is it that people want to prove they have much sense or it just a pssing faze....

Just had a thought...with lot of voting for reality shows happening online, can't voting for goverment elections also follow the same route....This will be much more effective...will have to come with a efficient mechanism though to prevent incorrect voting....maybe in the near futur it could be a reality.

This is some hypothesis I came across......don't know how valid it is...

Aeons ago when our ancestors were still on trees, they relied on fruits, grains and vegetable. which were easily available
Some how they found the taste of meat, they just couldn't leave it.
To get meat, they had to hunt. To hunt they need to come down from trees.
Even on ground it was not easy. The prey was faster than him, it was stronger than him. Man lacked speed, clwas, keen sense of smell and vision.
therefore, to hunt he needed something Xtra, he invented weapons, he started setting up traps, devicing game plans to hunt down the prey.

And thus homo sapien started to evolve..................

What would be the best way to learn and remember new English words and effectively use them in our normal conversations.

I've subscribed to an English dictionary website which sends me a new rod with its meaning and usage everyday but I don't seem to remember the word the next day.

What's the best way to improve the vocabulary?

Do we really require reservations be it in government, schools or workplace.

In case of schools, it's really sad to see that a place you well deserve goes to a person with less qualifications just because of a reservation quota. Just because an individual comes froma minority background, does not mean that he does not deserve to compete at an equal level.

There also seems to be an uproar that adequate seats are not reserved for womesn in governments. But is it required. We say women are equal and can compete with men in every sector, then why do we have such double standards.  Read More »

If you gonna expect an exciting day in the life of a hi-profile IT engineer in Bangalore, you are mistaken. Coz this post cannot go into such details, as the author has not experienced any of the prolific lifestyle, though herself being a software engineer in the so called Silicon City of India.

The minute you wake up, before you even have the customary bed tea, a style borrowed from the West, one begins dreading the hours one may have to spend commuting to the IT world. Yes, the world famous Hosur Road which is known more for it's traffic jams than it's bridge to the electronic world of information technology- The Electronic City which houses some of the biggest names of the industry.

As a first timer( read fresher) begins the journey into the unknown, you are not only oblivious of the amount of time it may take you to reach your destination but also of the ardous journey that lies ahead. With bumps and sleeping comrades, the bus crawls past similar looking boxes on wheels around. You look around you only to find the same faces staring back at you as if you were looking in a mirror which projects expressions. The only consolation you may have are the plugs in your ears which croons Basanti and Darius' voices as if they were some distants Gods warning you of the impending disasters ahead through Jam Busters.

But slowly, after lots of shakes and pauses, you begin to see greenery which is an indication that you are closing onto civilization, when you are given a final jolt. A long snake like queue of wheels at the entrance of EC. But by then, you feel I've gone through so much, a little more won't do any harm. So all you do is make faces and stupid expressions and keep shifting in your seats as your back hurts like hell.

Then it's YAHOO!!!! I've made it. I've reached into the IT dungeon and what more in one piece. Broken but not bent. You trudge along to your seats, your new boxes, though these ones thankfully not on wheels.

As the day ends, you now have to go through all of it again, but now in the reverse direction to get to the comforts of your home. But all the best!!! We'll make it one day.

Some day the Guiness Book of World Records may enter our name in it's books for reaching the Electronics City traversing through Hosur Road without a single traffic jam, in say 10 minutes. A distant dream but where there's hope, there's a way and there's a will.
