To Students
Seeing Chandragupta dejected one day, Chanakya told him, “Chandragupta, do you know, the plants grow in the dark?” (We all know that today. Dr. J.C. Bose proved it also.) What he meant was that human beings grow the most in crisis or under pressure. There is no growth in happy hours. Check your own life or ask your elders. At times, people create miracles when they are put under stressful circumstances. Human mind can work overtime, innovate and can perform extraordinarily in

To Parents
But is it really necessary? Check how many of our school or college toppers are really happy and successful finally? Remember those back-benchers or those average or even those so called good-for-nothing students of our 10th or 12th Std. who are doing extremely well today. Is success essentially linked with academic excellence? Well, NO. This is all the more true in today’s age of opportunities which is very different from our times. We used to have hardly 3-4 vocations to ch

Saakshi Bhav
My daughter has a goldfish in a small round glass vessel. She has named it Mooney. We noticed a very interesting thing about Mooney. When she sleeps, she remains almost stationary in the water and we come to know that it’s bed-time for her. But whenever we look at her for a little longer even from a good distance, she wakes up and starts moving. How does she come to know that somebody is watching her? Maybe some innate self-defense instinct. But how true is it with us too!! O

Journey is more important than destination
My daughter Aayushi is preparing for her IGCSE Exams. Few months back I initiated a conversation with her seeing her stressed out. Actually she is doing two years’ studies in one year. The gist of the talk is as follows–
Success is like reaching a summit. One can’t stay there for long. But the major part of the entire project is preparation or journey to the success. Once we achieve the goal, we enjoy, celebrate and soon fix our eyes on a new goal. Another round of preparati

Learnings – 1
My daughter loves and appreciates one of our close relatives who is a senior citizen. At times she tells me, “See Dad, he is so perfect. One can learn a lot from him.” I actually agree with her on this. Well, was that person like this all through his life? No. He also had his share of stupidities. I know that because he is known to me too. But at the same time hats off to him for reaching this stage today. This shows his kaizen spirit. Then I look at myself. So many flaws in

Life Sutra: 2
Once a Devdoot (Angel) asked God that he would like to visit Earth to see how things were going there. God sanctioned his leave. The Devdoot descended on earth. He landed in a small town and saw three little girls around the dead body of their mother, lying in front of a small hut. The eldest girl, around 6 years of age, was crying while holding the hand of her mother. The girl younger to her was trying to wake her mother up; while the youngest one, hardly a year old, was try

Life Sutra: 1
Once Buddha along with his disciples reached outskirts of a small town and set up his camp. Next day morning he told Shwetakriti, one of his disciples to go to the town for Bhiksha. Shwetakriti was a young Bhikshu. He entered the town and knocked at the door of the first house on the street. It was about noon, the Sun was shining hot right on the top of the head. Shwetakriti thought, ‘How nice it would be to have a glass of chilled water under this scorching Sun!’ The door op
