Capability Benchmark
Capability (in my definition) is the ability to stretch yourself to new heights in order to achieve your goal. If someone can run a marathon in 6 hours, they are extremely capable. Does this mean, someone who cannot run a marathon is not capable. Of course not, because running a marathon was not their goal in the first place. Capability therefore cannot be defined as the ability to achieve ANY goal. It is all about the goal that matters to you. There are a lot of individuals who constantly compare themselves with others and feel they are not capable enough. Vice versa also holds true. Many more individuals think they…

Thoughts that count
Since the last few days, life has been chaotic. Too much to do and too many thoughts in mind. And yet at the end of the day, when I want to write, not one thought seems to fall through straight enough that I can write. By the time I write the title for one thought, and start the body, another thought has already taken hold which makes the first thought fade away. I have started at least 5 blogs today but saved them for a later day. So the only thought that matters today is that all my other thoughts need some time to sort out. That’s fair and I…

Walking and Me
After a long day of juggling responsibilities, managing perceptions, meeting some expectations, failing others; all I want to do is go for a walk. Walking and me are kind of soul mates and we like to unwind the day together out on the bustling roads of our city. To give us good company, we invite Music and Breeze as well. Off late, Rain has also been keeping us company but it is not as predictable. As we all go down together on the streets, we have around us – crowds of people, traffic, dust, noise and pollution. However, when we are on the road, none of these external environmental factors…

Jumping to Conclusions
I went through an embarrassing situation a couple of days ago. Thankfully, only I understood the source of my embarrassment and hence did not have to face the humiliation of being publicly prosecuted. I am writing a blog about it is so I can remember the important lesson I learnt out of it. As I dropped my little sweetheart to her class one fine Sunday evening, I was as usual in high spirits. I drove my scooter out of the apartment complex and was enjoying the light breeze on my face and in my hair. Coming from the other side of the road, I saw another scooterist slightly confused and not sure on…

Sunlight comes into your house not because you want it. It happens because you open the windows. Sadhguru.

Rain drop, Rain drops fall upon my window (part 2). As clicked from inside my car while waiting in the rain. A perfect way to relax – rain drops beating on the roof, soft music inside the car, and no where to go.

Believing vs. Seeking
Before I start, I must confess these are not my original thoughts. These are thoughts from Sadhguru, a spiritual leader, I have been reading upon. ———————————————————————————————————————————————- In order to believe, we must already know. When we know, we stop seeking more. In the process we stop learning. So which is better, believing or seeking? Sadhguru compares Believing to Religion. Our religion tells us to follow a certain path in life, and we believe the path is right. If we are religious, we never question the belief and we continue to conduct ourselves in the manner as preached by our religion. On the other hand, Seeking is like Spirituality. On our spiritual…

Rain Drops, Rain Drops, Fall upon my window Sparkle on the leaves and twist the lemon tree Rain drops, Rain drops, down the hill and through the meadow No time to stop on the journey to the sea. My fav song from school. Had so much singing it with Toyna today. We were singing it when it started to drizzle, and every time we said “rain drops” it started to rain a little harder. By the time we reached home, it was raining cats and dogs, and Toyna kept singing “Rain drops”. 🙂

Way to Mans heart is through his career Article from The Times, 17th June 2012. This is definitely true for men (and women) who are very passionate about their careers. In these cases, the career is often the first spouse. After all, in most cases, they were already married to it, before they even met you. As the married spouse if you try fight for attention outside of the career, you are most likely going to lose. Supporting the career and building it together provides a sense of achievement and purpose to marriage as well. For me and my husband, our business(s) is our second child. The love and passion we have for it…

Back to School!
School started today and life goes back to the old humdrum of living by the clock. Did I miss it? Not one bit! Am I looking forward to it? Definitely yes! How can someone look forward to something, when it wasn’t even missed in the first place? The answer lies deep in the fascinating mysteries of a mothers heart! As a mother, I love everything about my daughter! Relaxing and rolling around with her in the holidays was fun, but school is going to be it’s own kind of fun. Poking her in the morning to wake her up, dressing her up for school, dropping her to the bus, and the continuous bick bick…
