Transitioning into adulthood is momentous – almost like completing the finale of the first lap of life and embarking into the genesis of the climax. There isn’t any demarcated interlude called ‘transition’ in between shifts from one stage of life to another. I wish there was! Though each of us is sculpted by the Divine […]

I sometimes wonder whether I am truly grown up as an adult according to the generalized societal standards or not. I rarely bother about what should we eat the next day, make a financial plan for the future and what will happen if there is a crisis. Usually, any adult man will poke his whole […]

That’s quite cliché and cheesy, as if from a run to mill Bollywood masala movie, isn’t it? But ironically that’s the reality of life. * Note: don’t try underwater stunts if you don’t know how to swim. Well, that joke bombed. So let’s talk about life now. What marks a transition in an individual? Marriage, […]

If you’ve watched ‘Russel Peters’ – the Indian turned Canadian – stand-up comedian, you’d probably be very familiar with the above phrase. That is what his father always told him. My Father of course never did – however, it always seemed to be implied. After a certain age, a boy just knows, he needs to […]

For all the kids who are soon going to be entering adulthood, I just have this one advice. If you learn the art of balancing your circle of influence, you will grow up to be a really strong and mature adult. This is something I learnt over the years of entering and maintaining adulthood. The […]

Marriage is a turning point for most people in their lives. No matter the reasons for marrying, its an event that leaves a mark and becomes a starting point for many subsequent events. Religious texts and rituals all across the world have spent much time and thought dictating how and why two people should marry. […]

We had a great week discussing the barriers in any sort of relationships, especially marital ones. As I was thinking about those barriers, I realised they are to be very common and known to all and we always can try to rectify our relationships by breaking them at some point in our life. But there […]

Set the alarm for the next day, have put the kids to sleep, hand cream ✔️, moisturizer ✔️, time to hit the sack and before calling it a day one important ritual to perform. Praying ❎, Reading a book ❎, Writing diary ❎, it’s a ritual followed more religiously, relentlessly – social media surfing. Yes, […]

Love is a beautiful feeling, an integral emotion and a wonderful experience altogether. Yet, love isn’t everything. And people come at the crossroads where they realize that love isn’t working anymore. Disagreement, turmoil, shortcomings and other disturbances ruin love, the basis of every relation. Ujjwala, found her love during her yoga classes. A man used […]

Love, being an intrinsic human attribute and need, cannot be effectively caged behind bars. It always yearns for expression. However, love cannot always be expressed and/ or experienced sans roadblocks. Though love faces many barriers in its way, I will talk about one major hiccup to expressing and/ or experiencing love. The fly in the […]
Indeed! When we are generous to others and give freely, we are the happiest! I feel very blessed in my life for all that I have received. Your article made me think of all those who have been generous to me.
Some people worry about the “return”—there is a “return”—a feeling of goodness for helping others…and that is a deep experience no one can ever take from us.
Over my lifetime people have been good to me and generous to me and I have not always been able to return their generosity in the same way. As my one friend said, “We may not always get the “return” from the same person we were generous to…but in some way, some one else may be a blessing to us.”

Thank You for that beautiful comment. You are right in saying that it is a chain, and our generosity comes back to us in different ways, different sources. We must learn to give without any expectations, only then can we feel happy about it. As for the video, it is awesome, though I had seen it before, seeing it again was a pleasure, Thank You for sharing it, I would like to honor this comment of yours by adding this video to my post.

I understand in order to appreciate and really know happiness, you also have to experience the other side as well.
I think if people sat down and talked to each other one on one, face to face, and had an open heart, a lot of misunderstandings could be overcome.
We have to appreciate tolerance, and try to understand people may not agree with certain customs and beliefs, but we have to learn to respect them, and allow them that right.
There is truly more reward in giving than taking. So far it has been a mild Winter, but it hasn’t really started yet.
