What really matters is invisible to the eyes!

‘ It is easy to look at people and make quick judgments about them, but what the world sees of the person is only one tiny faucet of the iceberg. There is a story behind every person. There is a reason why they are the way they are. Think about that before you judge someone.’ Our life has a meaning only if we keep having an interaction with people. Right. We meet a multitude of people in our lives with whom we chat, talk, discuss various matters, etc. But now let us pay attention to the details. Can you tell me the first thing we all do when we see new people? Do we instantly go to talk to them or do we straightaway shake hands with them? Let me tell you; we do nothing of this sort. The foremost thing we do after meeting someone new is that consciously or unconsciously we make a judgement. A judgement like: Wow, he has so much wealth, He is so rich. She looks so sweet. They are so weird. Oh! she is so ignorant. We make a quick judgement that may not be quite true, a judgement that ...

A homage to my Guru

Mosaic is a painting or picture obtained by arranging small pieces of stone, glass, paper and other materials to make a variety of patterns. It is a creative type of art technique where we can mix and make a blend of colors by adding the shades, hue, tint, and tone of the main color. It is a decorative piece and is used as a creative way to elaborate the work of art and pattern. This type of art form was very famous in the Ancient Roman period and was used to decorate floors and walls. In modern days, it is used to make patterns, paintings and tiles to decorate houses. I have tried to paint the first Guru of Sikh religion, the messenger who had a great belief in God and preached everyone about Ek - God is one, the power of SACH (truth) and is known for fighting demons with his peace of mind and love for all. I have painted GURU NANAK DEV JI through the technique of mosaic. This painting is a tribute to him on his 550th Prakash Purab.

Unity in Diversity: Positioning India as a Leader in Emerging Global Scenario

In India we meet different people. Some are Rajputs, some are Sikh, some are Hindus, some are Muslims, some eat Non - vegetarian, whereas some avoid eating that. Some celebrate Christmas while some others celebrate Diwali, Eid, Holi, Gurupurab. We all are so different from each other, but the one thing that is common among us all is  ‘oneness’ . There is  UNITY EVEN WITH SUCH A VARIETY.  As Rabindranath Tagore very eloquently said:  If  God had so wished, he would have made all the Indians speak one language, follow one tradition and religion, but God did not want it this way. He felt that the identity of India would only be in having a diversity.  Criticism and inequalities are not the ideologies we follow anymore. Over the years, we have evolved as a leader with a strong bond of humanity among us.  India is such a diversified civilization with over 1650 spoken languages, varied dressing styles and with millions of people coming from various backgroun...

Only Vegans....Why?

 All people should not become Vegetarian You all would be thinking, this is such a minor, unimportant topic. Even if everyone became Vegetarian, how will this change, even make a difference or even matter. This might look like a small topic that does not seek for any debating, but if we go deeper to the root cause and look deep into this matter then it can have a huge impact on our country.   India is a diverse country with various eating habits and beliefs. Some people residing in India are Non-vegetarians, some are Vegetarians and some are Eggetarians. Some people belonging to specific religion may not find eating chicken as a great idea. Some might prefer eating non vegetarian food and some might only prefer dairy products. So, we cannot limit their eating habits, what they should eat and what they shouldn’t. They are the ones on whom this should be left to.   We should have a variety in everything. This is what India is, after all: Diversified.  Also, ...

The worth of the crumpled bill - You're special. Don't forget that!

 Recognize your origin, your worth and value We often say, I am worthless, I couldn't accomplish such a small goal. I am useless, I ruined my life, because of this decision. I am so worthless. Why, Why are you worthless? What have you done? You have just followed your dream; you have just followed your inner soul. You have just done what you loved to do. You have not done anything wrong or harmful A well-known speaker started his speech by showing everyone a $20 bill. In the room of many people, he asked, “Who would like this $20 bill?” Suddenly many hands started going up. He said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first, let me crumple it.” After crumpling it, he asked again, “Who still wants this?” Still hands were up in the air. He said, “Well! what if I do this?” He dropped the bill on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He then picked it up and asked, “Who still wants it?” Stills a few hands were up in the air. After this s...

Why Me?

Are you all aware of the first black man to win the U.S. Open, Australian Open and Wimbledon? It is Arthur Ashe.  We receive several miseries, hunger, and constant thrashing in life. These(we can choose to see these as) are also the gifts that you have bestowed on us O Lord. Arthur Ashe  was the first black man to win the U.S. Open, Australian Open and Wimbledon? During a heart surgery in 1983, he got infected by the blood that he received and contracted AIDS. From all over the world, he received letters from his fans, one of which said: "Why  does God have to select you for such a bad disease? To this Arthur Ashe replied: "In the whole world 50 million children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the Grand Slam, 50 reach the Wimbledon, 4 to semifinal, 2 to the final. When I was holding the cup I never asked GOD 'Why me?'. Today in pain I shouldn't be asking GOD 'Why me...
