The Circle of Life


Adam and Eve were the first man and woman according to the creation myths, and that was the seed of the broad population we have today.

Nature has designed a baby to be born from the union of two adults, thus making sure he is surrounded by family.

Alas! Not all are fortunate to be brought up in a cozy scenario. Circumstances are one such issue that comes forward.

Although the man is surrounded by his fellow men yet he feels alone and depressed.

He could attribute to the surroundings, the circumstances that he is breathing in...the survival of the fittest mantra when the competition reaches out to the neck, that makes an individual feel suffocated, that could either choke himself out, or he has the survival instincts and grabs an oxygen mask to be able to fight it out!

We all have been in that situation.
What breed are you?

“One love, one heart, one destiny.” 
― Bob Marley

The present world is full of suffering and injustice, and every soul goes through hardships, thus making them shine like a diamond in the end.

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.” 
― Plato



When each of us reflects on our lives spent so far, our eyes will get moist over some individuals who held our hands when our legs were shaky to walk even a single step; our tongues were stirring out of nervousness, our hands were trembling and sweaty due to anxiety and fear. There were some people and sometimes too many individuals who came in our lives who gave us the confidence to walk that extra step, to understand what was on our mind, to hold our hands steady, and provide us with the boost to come out of that situation, and today as we stand surrounded by the lush green of success or happiness we can feel the effect of compassion. The empathy of another human to understand us especially when we were in a plight, and he extended a lending hand. This hand not only comprised of physical support, but it also dressed up our spirits emotionally and subjectively.



Today, as I stand at the junction of my life where I have breathed in 40+ years of my life, I stand in gratitude for all my teachers, friends, family, neighbors, strangers who helped in the oddest of way, by either lending me a helping hand, or speaking a kind word or two, or just stretching those muscles around their lips by giving out a gentle smile. This gave me the jump start and helped ignite the engine within to keep moving in the direction of my goal. 

Thus, making me believe in this great attribute as it created ripples in my life. I intend to pass the baton of compassion, empathy, tenderness, and kindness around so that I can complete the circle of life, with the satisfaction to touch "n" number of lives.

Compassion is essential, and it is all about giving what you have received so far. It is also a reminder to stay grounded since we all will wear the shoes of sorrow in our lifetime.

The source for morality is within us. We can either just follow our peers who are annoyed with the system of life or we could choose to make our own!


Mantra for today: Showing tolerance, and compassion towards the suffering helps to tap your inner self, which in return is a boon to your existence.

The Power Hungry!

Move over Robert Mugabe, Bashar-Al-Assad, Moammar Qaddafi, Than Shwe, Fidel Castro amongst many who were classified as worst dictators of the world.

Power is potent and can make anybody toxic thus, allowing an individual to tread a path that can lead to becoming unruly, boisterous, rambunctious and then this leads to being categorized as the worst dictator!

Nah! you are not to be blamed!

I have a formula for you to to help take over the world and yet be classified as the best rulers the divine could produce!

In order to take over the world, the first thing you ought to do is have double standards!

Curse, swear, aver in your private life, but always have a smiling face in front of the public. This sure takes time, but with practice it becomes easy, and honestly most of the universe is practicing it, so watch and learn.

You will win people by your gentle smile, aristocratic actions, docile mannerisms, and tamed language. Once you gain the confidence of that person, Voila! You can climb on his back by your sweet talk, and eventually climb the ladder to success by taking over the world.

“It's discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit.” 
― Noël Coward, Blithe Spirit

Morality is gradually becoming extinct. We are living in the world of “Me-Myself-Mine”. With the rise of social media, we are becoming like a robot. Constantly hooked to the Internet where feelings and authenticity go missing.

Man wants to live life king size but prefers to get wealth without work, gain knowledge without striving hard for it, become a leader without any sacrifices or make any conscience effort, and wants results the easy way. Integrity is going missing, and people want publicity for everything.

"if ethics is not the engine of success, in the train of growth, it sure is a guard, with a flag, which may be green, or at times red.” 
― Priyavrat Thareja

So, individuals who are power hunger, use the fundamentals of  contrasting principles since man is too engrossed in himself. He can become your puppy, and you can eventually take him around on a leash without him noticing it.

Although, I pray that such a day does not come!

Mantra for today: The day we make compassion our companion, terror will become extinct.
