Time from Thamizh Words

 How beautifully the Thamizh verbalisation of time is ?! இறந்த காலம் -> The past is always dead  நிகழ் காலம் -> The present, may be the 🎁 is better portrayed in English.  எதிர் காலம் -> The future, is a shadow of the present

Seek from within One who tries to become a master of the master becomes a slave forever The mind is conditioned to see the past and future as a craving, forgetting the present's blessings The icing on the cake requires a strongly baked base, but people want to have the icing without a base  The nation's sustained emergence and growth is complete only when it has invested in technology & innovation and being able to provide quality education and healthcare to all citizens When there is no interest there are no chances for conflict of interest Time is the best instrument to judge your deeds Peace is found when the mind, the body and actions are in harmony We wake up to our hopes, not despair People don't change but their perceptions do Expectation kills reality An effective routine makes it a productive day What we perceive as our image is just like our shadow which varies at different parts of the day, sometimes it is bigger than the original version sometimes smaller an

Self-realisation is the actual realisation  A skilled swimmer is equipped to overcome demons of a deep-sea Numbers is the only language that people understand across the globe What feels real is imaginary, what feels imaginary is real Success is measured by the lives that we transformed Your actual success is measured only after your death A shallow fry gets done quickly, but a deep-fry needs time to be cooked Glass would have been of the same value as gold if sand was not in abundance There are no same two events in this world, our conceptions condition to see them as the same Lock your mind from every situation, if you want peace Often style is confused with luxury The greatest things in the world are always intangible Ignorance is sometimes confused with innocence The best advice is in listening to yourself Thinking about a suffering aggravates it than the suffering in itself Your eyes see what your mind has already written Where there are no desires, there is no evil There is no ri

Contentment

     Contentment is one attribute that most of us want in us. But this wanting is again a search for something. Let us try to investigate within the limited purview of this author about contentment.   A child goes to a school for kindergarten, then slowly the comparison with the best student starts. Then this goes to college, work and so on. What actually defines that you are the best student or the best employee or whatever best it is? This commercialisation of the best has made things superficial, don't understand why it can't be one of the best. Not everyone can be good at the same thing, everyone is unique. And each unique talent needs to be appreciated.   We somehow are taught to be afraid to be our own, we always seek to be better than our neighbour, better than the next kid in the school and so on. We are constantly seeking achievement, success, pride. As we grow on, these characteristics just grow with us linearly making it unbearable for ourselves at times. Somehow we

Intelligence and wisdom are two different entities 4. As in movies only the actor and actress work come to limelight, the director's work goes unnoticed many a times. In the timestamp of universe as well, the same applies we celebrate the actors and actresses without noticing the director's work. 5. We want the storyline of the movies/matches we watch to be thrilling, but not our own. 6. Belittling others is the lowest use of an intellect 7. Selective justice is also injustice 8. Maintaining calm during calamity is something only a few have mastered 9. The message is the same, but only the messengers are different 10.

1.        Thought is like a breath, you inhale and exhale once then that breath is completed, if you try to told that breath for too long you suffocate. Same is the case with thoughts, be it a bad or a good thought. 2.        "The ability to observe without evaluating is the highest form of intelligence." ~ K 3.        Worry is trapping of thoughts. Pleasure is trapping of senses. Liberty is freedom from both. 4.        Whatever done half heartedly is like the clouds, it disappears.

90's kids the focal point of different transitions in India

 In this article we are going to interpret the different transitions that have happened in India, post-liberalisation through the prism of so-called 90's kids, specifically the middle band of the '90s (1994 to 1997) with background about their predecessors. People born in '40s,'50s :   First, we will try to understand the lifestyle of people born in the '40s, '50s of the 20th century in India. Those days the houses weren't electrified except a few, and the mobility between places was not much. The means of communication was typically through in-person meetings (or) through messengers. Gradually they moved onto postcards (or) inland letters after middle age (late 20's). There was no television but only transistors that too shared ones in a street, Most of them from were an agricultural background for occupation. They lived in a slow and steady lifestyle, typically in the countryside with a lot of sharing practices amongst them. People born in '60s,
