I was about six when I drew something in school and got a star. Elated I ran home to show it to mom This drawing of a red flower Spreading its radiance over my face. Mom patted my back saying this looks so very nice. Suggested I must show it to dad when he returns that night. Evening brought a friend of mom over for tea She called me to flaunt to my aunt my star deed I ran back to

First of all, let us find out what positivity is all about. Positivity has different emotional connotations for different people. Positivity can mean love, strength, trust, kindness, happiness and many more. Psychological researchers have defined psychology as “The scientific study of what makes life worth living”. Life is as series of chapters; some are good, some are bad and others foster mixed feelings and emotions. The term is a bit flowery, I feel. It does not carry much weight like

When I was younger, much… younger, I would scoff at people reading self-help books, people who would quote famous people on positivity and especially those who would keep saying positive things and you’ll soon start to feel that way in reality.   While I’m still not entirely sold on the idea of talking yourself into being positive and randomly quoting others, I do believe that one can take concrete steps to cultivate an attitude of positivity.   The funny thing

Transform your life through the power of positive thinking… We all meet challenges on a daily basis, few of us whine about them. Is that helpful? I don’t think so! Whether you’re taking an exam, attending an interview, meeting a date, expecting a promotion, yes, they are all anxious moments.

I recall, my mentor once looking at me and saying: Oh, you have a challenge? I say: I have a huge problem! (my hands showing the size of the problem) He says with a smile: A challenge, yeah?

As someone who “almost” witnessed the calamity, I say almost because my parents house in Ernakulam/Kochi wasn’t affected . I am currently here with my parents and daughter. But I know I was petrified when the flood water reached just a few miles away from my house. Mainly for my 3 year daughter.   Many of my friends’ families and relatives were stuck at various locations and it was heart wrenching to see their helplessness through various frantic messages.

What is ‘Letting go?’ Letting go is a two sided coin, physical separation and emotional separation. They always go together. If you think it’s hard, it is. If you think it’s possible, it is! Everyone of us have the ability to let go. We Have the innate ability to let go. What prevents us from letting go? The possessiveness! Say you’re a parent for the first time..Initially you don’t trust anyone to be with your child except yourself! Of course

At least they are reading something… Alok is seven years old and he loves to read books with a lot of pictures. He prefers funny story books over serious non-fiction books.

Traveling is fun and you get to know a multitude of culture, people across the globe. Still, in India, solo travel is not much encouraged and particularly, a woman going on a solo travel is a BIG NO!
