“Write your hurts in the sand; carve your blessings in stone”, a wise person said. So true!
Human nature is such a fickle thing -it is as unpredictable as the wind. People often speak before they think and sometimes they live to regret it all their lives.
Man is amazing in…..

When you look around you, all you see is doom and gloom. Yet, paradoxically, people are living like there is no tomorrow. They eat, drink and are living merry lives, notwithstanding the consequences of it.
Recent events brought my attention to the controversy of the so-called men of God who are working miracles amongst the…..

What do you see? Chaos, disaster, shocking news headlines, natural disasters. Look around! This is not a time for speculating. This is not a time for hibernating. This is not a time to play the fool. It was said long ago that these days will come and indeed, they have come. As in the…..

What happens when we die? Who is going to cry for us? Who is going to miss us? Who wants to know how much money you left behind and who is going to get that money?
When we live, who bothers about how we are doing? Who cares about…..
Salt is vital to life. It has many useful purposes but if used incorrectly, it can be detrimental. The Readers Digest lists more than 60 uses of salt. What would food taste like if there was no salt? We are so used to eating with salt that we often take it for granted. Salt…..

Just like salt, when you show a little kindness, it goes a long way. Sometimes we may not feel up to the mark and may even make excuses for putting in the effort for doing a good deed for others. When we step out of our comfort zone and show…..
Love is probably the most overused and rashly abused word of all. When you say you love someone, do you really and fully understand what you are saying? If love is unpacked, we will be very surprised to discover the true essence of what we confess.
What is love? First, let’s see what love is not – it is not boastful, puffed up, it does not envy, does not parade itself, does not behave rudely, does not seek self gratification,…..
Why is it that when the rains pour, it comes down in torrents? They say that when calamity strikes, it never rains but pours. Just when you think the worse is over and things couldn’t get any worse, you are struck down with another major blow. What do you do? Where do you turn?
Sometimes you try to hold onto a thin strand of hope and as you do, to your horror, you watch it wearing out. Then when it…..
Are we better off today than our counterparts three or four generations ago? We live in big fancy houses or apartments with designer kitchens and state of the art creature comforts in our bathrooms and bedrooms. Yet how much of home cooked meals are we preparing and how many sit down meals are we sharing as a family?
They had no fancy gadgets and rooms were shared by many siblings. Everyone had duties and everything had to be shared and…..
The biggest lament of our generation is wayward children. They are undisciplined and unruly. Their self-will is the overriding ‘end all and be all’. Teachers are at their wits end to get them to sit down and pay attention so that they can be teachable.
We are breeding a generation of ‘idiots’ who ‘know it all’ and who have everything at their fingertips. Literally, they can write without thinking using their fingertips because of auto-correct and autocomplete. Children don’t see…..
