Funny how we attach things to sentiments. Or is it the other way around? I can’t really say. If there is something I can say it’s that whenever he looks at the watch on his wrist, which has been guiding him for 5 years, all he can remember is, and I quote, “In order to be successful and to stand out, always think two steps ahead. Plan your next move.” The invaluable advice given to him while putting it on his left wrist before he was leaving for college. Well, leaving home for the first time in particular. It’s not just a watch to him now. It’s an emotion. A statement of pride, faith and love, given to him by his father. And he wears it like a badge of honour. People often have an inclination towards materialism. The expensive apparels, the costly gadgets and other shiny objects whose inherent luminescence blinds them. Left with the grey visions, the sparkles of the world engulf their lives with the blues of desire. It shivers him to the spine, that someday it will get over...

There is a reason why we call the thing inside our skull, as Mind. Because as the word suggests, it is under control. That’s the actual difference between a mind and a brain. A brain is not controlled, not streamlined, wild, though full of ideas and imaginations, but also with conflicting issues. It is like an untamed horse. It runs where it wants, when it wants, with who it wants. And as the world around us suggests, one should always stay in control. That’s why we train our brains to be under control. How? Well it has the very clichéd answer. Through education. With years and years of education and training we TRY to control the one thing that possesses a great power. Some succeed and some don’t. But what if the same process which is used to tame the wild horse becomes the reason for it to become more wild? What to do then? In the current scenario, according to many wise men, we are in a race. A race to reach our destinations. To achieve our goals. To fulfil our dreams. Educat...

People always try to "make the world a better place to live" Well, guess what folks! It's not getting any better. It's only getting worse. Owing to the behaviour of people and mental trauma that almost every person is facing & is avoiding to talk about. It's only causing an unrest. Everyone has got their own storms. And this storm is the main problem. Oh, you don't agree! Ask yourself. Even you have problems and situations you don't want to face because you are just too afraid of it. And you are not ready to do anything about it. It's just easy for you to give up because then you don't have to face anything. So much simpler isn't it! If you have a problem, Don't face it! Problem solved. But let me tell you something. You are not just affecting yourself by not facing it. You are being a trouble to others too. You are like cancer for Happy and Well people. Who are ready to live with what they have; satisfied with their things and con...

I'm about to discuss something different than I usually do. Though the usual stuff is also bizarre, but that's just a happy coincidence. What will be the best way to stop a car safely and quickly, if you are at a high speed and it suddenly becomes a matter of life and death? Let's suppose you are driving at a speed of 60kmph and suddenly something(or someone) comes in front of you. Assuming you don't have a vehicle with power breaks, what shall be the sequence of events to slow down the car, possibly make it come to a halt? Normally people have a reflex of pulling clutch first, putting off the leg from the throttle and then applying the break. That's decent choice to do but that's only if the vehicle is in controllable speeds, i.e. near 40kmph. What will you do if your speed is too much and you are to stop? Think. It a matter of life. What can you possibly do to make sure everyone is safe. Think. Think. Let me give you a hint. It's just a chan...

Few generation before land used to be synonymous with power. The more the land a person possessed, the more powerful he was.  Because the land could be put to many uses. Agriculture, shelter, and what not! And those were the days of barter system. People would rent their lands for various uses. But times have changed since then. Times have changed. Education has changed it. The flow of knowledge today has never been like this in the past. It has shaped the world around us. The key to success and enlightenment in theses days is education. There has been enormous growth and development due to it. It has provided mankind with various occupations and a whole new lifestyle. Humankind has more comfort and a better understanding of things. This is a different Era. But even in times like this, there are many for whom education is an unaffordable luxury. The world's poor. They don't have enough money to get into proper institutions. And it's not their fault. Education has been c...

An end beautifully portrayed: I saw you today. You were on the other side of the road, all smiles, and holding hands, about to enter a cafe. And I felt the crowd around me scrutinizing my every move. You might have seen me, or perhaps you didn't, but you turned around and I saw how beautiful you have grown over the years. You were no more a girl, but a lady; and the red blush of your cheeks suggested that you were in love. And I should have been heartbroken at this. Not because you were happy, but because I wasn't its cause. But, I wasn't. I wasn't and I never felt so free before. You walked into the cafe and the door closed behind you and with it the door closed on us , and I wasn't in love anymore. -credit for this Scribblious: Angkur Sharma
