In a way, the words ‘Life’ and ‘Integrity’ are synonymous. Ask me how? Come to think of it, can life even exist if it is not an integrated ‘self-sustaining’ piece? Life is here on this planet ONLY because, the very silent neutron and the centerpiece proton encircled by the hyperactive electrons ‘stay together’ in harmony. If their bond becomes unstable or ‘unreliable’, they disintegrate and life, as we know, ceases to BE. The usual and casual question humans ask when they meet is ‘How is life?’ It is also customary to either say ‘Fine’ as a mechanical reply or if time is there, crib about our current ‘life situations’ rather than connecting with the pulsating life inside. Looking at human life, it is crystal clear that ‘integrity’ forms the bedrock of our very existence. Nature is testimony to this fact that any imbalance in co-existence leads to chaos and calamities. Coming to social life, if there is a discord between ‘what we say and what do’, cracks in our personality are spotte...

Some thoughts on parenting first.... Don't wait to make your son a great man - make him a great boy. The ability to say "No" is perhaps the greatest gift a parent has. Parents wonder why the streams are bitter when they themselves have poisoned the fountain. Children who avoid the mistakes their parents made often make the mistakes their parents avoided. Parents who are afraid to put their foot down usually have children who step on their toes. - Chinese Proverb Parents spend the first part of a child's life getting him to walk and talk, and the rest of his childhood getting him to sit down and shut up. "You can't read a book and cook a dish" is a saying. You can't also learn swimming by reading a book. But if you have children, you would agree, parenting is a job that needs a manual. Though parents somehow manage to bring up childre...

Uncommon Thoughts on Common Things This simple and uncomplicated book looks at life from the child’s point of view. Life’s really simple and we adults view it as quite mixed up in our heads, says the author. Easy to read, but difficult to digest, this little book is a different read altogether. All I really needed to know about how to live and what to do and how to be, I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate-school mountain, but there in the sand pile at Sunday School.  The author lists the following things I learned in Kindergarten and they are enough to lead life: Share everything. Play fair. Don't hit people. Put things back where you found them. Clean up your own mess. Don't take things that aren't yours. Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash your hands before you eat. Flush. Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you. Live a balanced life - learn some and think some and draw and paint and ...
