I remember when I was a kid, during late 1980’s there were not a blast of many channels. There was only one “Doordarshan” (India’s National Channel) and after the main news bulletin there was segment called “Mausam Ki Jankari” (a weather report) and very superficially the reader use to touch points on weather forecast, and the segment use to end with the forth coming days weather of main metro cities. In today’s times the weather forecast has been upgraded and there is information even sometimes discussion on how the weather would react and affect people living in that particular area, if any unfavorable circumstances occur. Thanks to the advancement in technology and the immense hours of labor put by the Weather departments of respective countries. Apart from the weather report, a similar terror report needs to be the mandate of current news bulletin after the statements given by India’s current Home Minister, Mr.Chidambaram –who ever have “ perpetrated the attacks has worked in a ver...

Family how rooted it is especially in the Indian context and yet there are so many wheels within wheels. The coiled umbilical cord never really begins or ends. With one sharp cut it is separated from the mother. This is how a life is nurtured, brought onto earth and then given an identity as per its sex, religion and caste. If the child happens to be a She, she is brought up under strict supervision, guidance and restriction; she becomes acquainted with the real duties of the girl at an early age. A woman’s life, they had told me, contained no choices. And so far in life, I had seen the truth of this. The women had no choices but to submit, to accept. And I had often wondered... have they been born without wills, or have their will atrophied through a lifetime of disuse? The mode and style of their development inculcates in them submissiveness, silence and passiveness which hold a strong hold on their psyche. Even modern educated women consciously drape themselves with this trait and f...

“The ancestor of every action is a thought”- Ralph Waldo Emerson If we take control of our own communication with ourselves and produce visual, auditory and kinesthetic signals of what we do want, out-standing positive results can be consistently produced, even in situations where the odds for success seem limited or nonexistent. Some days back my eight year old brought his art homework, sounding a bit tepid. As I had been a little critical of his art work earlier. He declared that out of three topics he had to submit 4-5 themes of any one of the topic in a week’s time. Asking what the topics were, he mentioned: A Birthday Party, My Pet and Aliens. The next question was to choose a topic which according to my rating he could do without much assistance, pat came the reply, “I’ll do, My Pet, cause, have done earlier so will repeat again.” Beware of believing that the way to change behavior is to first change attitudes. Attitudes tend to be the result of behavior, not the cause o...

“Our doubts are traitors, And make us lose the good we oft might win, By fearing to attempt.” –william Shakespeare Winners, leaders, masters-people with personal power-all understand that if you try something and do not get the outcome you want, it’s simply a feedback. You use that information to make finer distinctions about what you need to do to produce the results you desire. This is a story of belief in one self and renewal. The other day sitting in one of the theme joints- Bubba Gumps, located in Curve at Petaling Jaya, which is based on the movie Forrest Gump, played by Tom Hanks, which states the unique characteristic of Forrest Gump’s passionate belief, that nothing was beyond man’s power and always aimed and reached triumphant results. Bubu had an inspiration to challenge himself. After-all, man is what he believes. Since childhood he wanted to be a long distant marathon runner and for that had also represented India in the nationals in 1985 but due to circumstance...
