Once upon a time, long long ago….

Every story that was told during our school days, tales started with this opening ‘ Once upon a time long long ago’.. I just realized that’s how my blog has become. Its turned out to be an olden golden period. I have been seriously thinking of reviving and giving it some life.


Let me see if I actually stick to my reviving agenda.

When life becomes transactional

Image
Next moment has always been unpredictable, unfortunately till we foresee a physical demise in front of our own eyes particularly a loved one, understanding this concept is generally tough. Having said about unpredictability, today in #covid situation faced all over the world, we all are aware of the fact more clearly; what is the true meaning of unpredictability. However, I could not stop myself today but to pen this down about life turned transactional. What is the true dictionary meaning of transactional? Means a give and take or take and give. Eg, mostly it was referred only for financial reasons since you pay for a product or service and that's called a transaction. But why I am I saying life itself has become transactional?

Mentor

Good Morning To All From, India

Early morning life is always enticing and never leaves you disappointed. My dad has always repeated himself to me thus “go early to bed and rise early”. I have never understood why he has to intervene, since early morning long hours of sleep has its own pleasure. It’s only during exams or when it is an early shift that I landed up waking before the sunrise. Its only when my first experience venturing on an outstation trip that I realized how beautiful the world around me is during the early mornings. Well! Again it’s better late than never ;) Early morning view from the terrace around 6:15am IST Pleasant is not the word that I have to describe the break of dawn; with birds chirping and the swift breeze of air on you. I had a discussion with my mom; a lengthy one on why early morning is treated as best for humans. Our discussion started right from how the mind is open in the early mornings to why there is a Suriya Namaskaram in the Hindu culture. Here is something I unders
