What is the use of complaining of leaching landfills, contaminated water bodies and loss of greenery when you pile up garbage that is the outcome of an use-and-throw mentality that is encouraged by all and sundry.

DISTRESS DIRIGE
Father, it’s a new path I haven’t walked before, My heart and my flesh shrink from the cross to bear.
WHERE ARE THE MEN?
Now and then there does rise a gem of a man who is not endangered by the capacity of a woman or her beneficence. He is so secure in who he is, what he is capable of and understands the value of a woman, that goes out of the way to seek women of ability to be part of his home or his team.
WOMAN, WARRIOR OR WORRIER
Why then in the church do not women rise up to don the garb of a warrior to battle for those worthy of being preserved and protected! Why do we whine and cry, being a damsel in distress expecting some knight to rescue us like Queen Guinevere of Camelot who sat in her tower waiting for Lancelot to come charging!
KISMET
The positive nuance of the word, on the other hand, struck me recently as being such a help to accept what cannot be undone or unmade. It causes one to surmount the sense of defeat at the missed opportunity, the feeling of loss at the lapse of time and the deep grief at what could have been. It provides the stimulus for a positive, constructive, beneficial, productive and effective attitude as well as outlook.
FOR WANT OF A NAIL
So also, in life, there are those who seem to be insignificant and invisible, but oh so critical and essential to a task or project. In a team, everyone, small or big,visible or invisible, recognized or not have their own role and contribution to make.
BEING THE LEAD DOG
Everything you say or do as a leader will be colored and coded by who you are. The context of your words will be the content of your life and the consequence of your being, rather than the cosmetic or costume of your appearance.
MANAGING THE OVERFLOW
Most often, when we are given a bonus, a raise or are fortunate to have surplus in our hands, we tend to spend it on what we have already desired to have. Surfing online shopping sites or window shopping or scanning magazines for deals has become a favorite pastime and entertainment for us. In doing so, we automatically build up a repertoire of wants and desires which we try to fulfil in the seasons we have excess or surplus. Nothing wrong in doing so when you have a planned budget to catch deals during, say a festival season; but doing it as an obsessive impulse is quite detrimental to our financial well being.
IT’S SUMMER TIME
Summer vacation was special for us as kids. Ten days with maternal grandparents. They lived in a city. Exhibition, movies and shopping occupied us. Ten days were spent with paternal grandparents. They lived in a small rural town. Hunting, fishing and picnicking were the draw. My kids usually spent part of their summer holidays with … Continue reading IT’S SUMMER TIME
