A lake connected with a narrow stream

Do you see a narrow stream or a huge lake ahead of you?

Sure enough both. Didn't you? This image clearly picturizes both the aspects of life.

Its pretty common for a person to go through narrow streams in life where one may not find much space to lounge around happily. The reasons might vary from individual to individual and from one situation to another circumstance. One may face a relationship breakdown and another might be facing financial crisis whereas the third may be facing a shattered career. But this certainly doesn't mean that one should give up one's life mid-way suffocating their breath through various means. One must try to accommodate themselves to the situation or circumstance and try squeezing through this passage.

However, there would certainly be a positive reflection (the way reflection is falling on the lake) on our life awaiting for us with open arms. With a little push from our end, a gentle pull by our well wishers with a little amount of motivation and encouragement can certainly get us through this rough stage of life.

Once we locate a shelter from this situation, one must wisely protect themselves. Soon enough one would find a crystal clear fresh water lake. Upon finding this ultimate solace, one must plunge into the lake to soothe the burns, cracks, cuts and try to heal the wounds by even blowing a spoon of curd thinking its hot boiling milk. As the saying goes, 'Once bitten twice shy' must always be kept in mind even while sailing through these calm waters.

We could also be rest assured that as long as we are doing the right things in life by following the set guidelines of life prescribed by our scriptures, elders, executing tasks which are morally ethical, then these two mountains laid aside on either sides of the lake would protect us from any kind of calamities.

In the recent wake of an entrepreneur giving up his life due to a financial turmoil/pressure has raged the business world. Had he got some kind of emotional support from his well wishers, from his relatives & friends, I am confident enough, he would have also reached the shelter at the end of the narrow stream and eventually joined the crystal clear lake.

Come what the problem may obstruct our path, never think of giving up! Speak up to someone, consult an experienced elder but let your breath flow smoothly.

Ray of Hope

Ray of Hope As the planet is currently engulfed by the Wuhan virus, majority of the activities have come to a stand-still, and some of the industries have transformed their work culture. As an individual whether one is affected or not with the situation, one must take the stand-still as an opportunity and not as a setback. The below image clearly depicts the current situation the world’s population is currently experiencing. Until the fag end of CE 2019, activities around us were executed as planned, just like the bright sun shining in the sky in the image-bearing as a torchlight for our routine. Then the lab-originated virus struck the globe, which appeared as dark clouds to many while they lost path in their life. However, one’s determination must be exactly like the hawk in the sky who finds a prospect to fly above the dark clouds. An opportunist’s current situation is depicted aptly in this picture; they see the dark clouds as a chance to soar higher by taking co...

The controversial Plastic Card (Part 01)

As soon as some people hear the word ‘Credit Card’, they end up projecting the user as ‘Spendthrift’, ‘Financially Undisciplined’, ‘Payment Defaulter’ and so on. However, for a person who knows the basic guidelines of a credit card’s usage, they would be proudly using it. A credit card is a two-edged sword and must be used prudently. For the population who think a credit card is a debt trap, must be clear, using it in the right manner the user can not only be solvent but also rewarded. What is this Credit Card?

A long cherished Dream

Graduation Day is the day that I had dreamt about. I personally never thought I would ever graduate, but here I am. Every single one of us worked so hard to get here. I never thought I would be up here on this day, but dreams do come true. As nervous as I was standing behind the podium, I was also joyful and proud to share my experience with you all. About five years ago in a boutique, I happened to meet my school teacher who is now currently the Principal of Sindhi High School, Hebbal branch – Mrs. Maitreyi Satyadev Ma’am. As we reminisced our good old days, she motivated and encouraged me to take up a graduate program in a field of my choice. I was relatively settled in my career then, with a permanent job in the World's Best Bank’ and 'Best Place to Work' - HSBC with a handsome package. However, as days passed by, my teacher’s meeting that day had given me a lot of food for thought; that meeting was lingering me by giving me sleepless nights about whether I want to ...
