| Wanderings of my mind | |
| Today I read an interesting peice in TOI. The writer says we begin by blaming the others for any problems. i.e. "You" are responsible. Then as we grow spiritually we start saying "I" am responsible and as we evolve we say "No one is to blame" ! Interesting, right? I am sure it must be right, there must be a deeper meaning of the self, ego et al. My...

| Railtrack and Marriage | |
|
|
| Another interesting excerpt:I learned today that the distance between railway tracks is always 143.5 cms. Or 4 feet 8 1/2 inches. Why this absurd measurement? When they built the first train carriages, they used the same tools as they had for building horse-drawn carriages. And why that distance between the wheels on carriages? Because that was the...

| Favour Bank | |
| I am reproducing a few words which I read in the book "The Zahir" by Paulo Coelho. They made a lot of sense to me. “What is this Favour Bank?” “You know. Everyone knows.”“Possibly, but I still haven’t quite grasped what you’re saying.”…… “I start making deposits in your account, not cash deposits, you understand, but contacts. I introduce you to su...

| Being Taken for Granted | |
| Taking someone for granted means not cherishing the things someone does for you…it means expecting everything from someone and not giving the same in return…it means never being satisfied with what one has and what one is offered and constantly wanting ’something else’…it means not appreciating a person for who they are… I find this especially true...

The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and that she needed it to help her husband in making a living for their family. The Lord dipped...

| Modern-day corporate slavery. |

|
| Several major Indian corporations, even those that claim to be very patriotic, use corporate bonds to retain employees. A corporate bond is nothing but a different name given to 'bonded labour'. This is very similar to the indentured labour used by the British government to employ workers in plantations around the world several decades ago.Enginee...
