This quote is taken from Jane Austen's novel Sense and Sensibility. It is self-explanatory and emphasizes the importance of actions over words and thoughts. While thoughts and words are undoubtedly essential aspects of human expression, they can often be deceiving and inconsistent with our actual intentions. Our true essence is revealed through our actions. Our words will remain merely words unless we walk the talk....

This quote by Oscar Wilde underscores the perceived shift in today's society. Now, people have become growingly materialistic. Hence, they focus more on the monetary or superficial aspects of things instead of recognizing their true value. Ours is a consumer-driven world where everything carries a price tag. We, therefore, concentrate on the price only. For example, we spend lavishly on luxury items like expensive gadgets, designer suits and brand new cars, etc....

I cannot agree more with this beautiful quote by Charlie Chaplin. How can love get everything done? It is because love embodies compassion, empathy, kindness and understanding. These qualities make a formidable combination to inspire action and get things done. Nothing can be more potent than love. Love can make even the impossible things possible. It can be a strong driving force behind every great achievement....

Do you vote in political elections? This post is in a reply to a daily writing prompt by Jetpack. I think this is the second time that I have chosen to write in response to a prompt. Usually I don't go for it, not because I don't like daily prompts, but I have my own schedule which doesn't allow me to write a blog post every day.

This quote by Oprah Winfrey underscores the importance of contentment. If you are content with your life, you'll have much more to be thankful for. Your heart will be brimming with peace and happiness. You will not compare your blessings with those of others. Instead, you'll always be grateful to the Lord for His favors. Contrarily, you'll never be satisfied if you are not content with your life....

This quote by Omar Khayyam reminds us of the ONLY reality of our life, i.e. the moment we are living right now is our entire life. Our life is neither the past nor the future. Why? It is because the past is gone and cannot be re-lived. The future is yet to come, and we can't be sure about it. So why worry about the past or pine for the future?...

This question has been bothering me for the past few days. I tried to shrug it off but couldn't rid my mind of this badgering question. The more I try to evade this question, the more it weighs on my mind. Is procrastination a crime or a sin? Don't we all procrastinate occasionally or constantly? There may be a raft of reasons for procrastination....

Over the past two weeks, I have been extremely busy in the office. Proverbially speaking, I was as busy as a bee. Things were changing so rapidly post-December that we could hardly manage to adjust ourselves accordingly. We human beings have our limitations, and cannot predict the future. What we had expected was a cool and calm January with a little bit of business activity....

Birth and Family Life I was born in a middle-class family on a cold winter night. My birth, however, was not a historic event and it did not cause any stir in the world. No breaking news had splashed across T.V. screens. Nor had it made any headlines in the print media. It was a routine occurrence as I was one of the countless babies that add up to the world's population every day....

As for the village population; that could broadly be categorized into two types. One local people i.e. those who had been living there before the partition. The others had migrated from India after the partition. They had everything in common, save a slight difference in their accent, and it was nothing more than a nuance. The migrant’s accent was polished and refined, whereas the locals' was somewhat rustic and rough. ...

My village was rather small in terms of population and housing units. It comprised more or less 200 houses. It had two parts with a large pond (chappar) in the center. It was a no-man's-land, a shamlat. The pond normally used to be dry. But during the rainy season, it overflowed with muddy water. The stagnant water used to stink after some days....

It was a case of sheer misunderstanding on Baba Khadam’s part. He complained about my alleged misconduct to my grandfather. He told my grandfather, “Your elder grandson had grossly misbehaved with me and called me Putter (son)”. Let me first share the incident with you. I was probably in primary school then. As all children are quite fond of buying candies, toffees and suchlike other things to nourish their taste buds, I too was no exception....

What is beauty? A very tricky question, indeed! Every person has his/her own definition of beauty. While scanning the quotes on beauty, I tried to find a common definition, but couldn't succeed. So, instead of fretting over our failure to find a consensual definition of beauty, let's relish the quotes. Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. ~Confucius The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express....
