Itchy Head

Everybody wants to be rich.  It seems everybody wants to be rich in future. In a distant 'some day'... If I tell you that you don't have to wait for that 'some day' to be rich, to feel rich and to act rich, then? You don't believe? This is not hoax. I'm not talking out of nothing. It is here and now. I know, you have started calculating your money in your pockets and your bank and the loans, which you have to pay. Now, you would start doubting me as what I am talking about? So, let get to the point. START WITH YOURSELF. Are you living the way, you want to live when you would be rich?  Are you using all the resources bestowed on you by your circumstances. Are you tapping them all to get the best out of them? Think.  We are as rich and as poor as we think and perceive.  I have seen people who store things. All the nice things are stored to be used when 'some special day' would arrive or ...

It's an irony of today's times.  Girls are nurtured, educated, motivated to be career oriented but when it comes to be in marital bliss, they are given hordes of advice, apprehensions and sometimes unwanted support. I do agree that to settle in a new environment of a new home, they need emotional and motivational support but sometimes doting parents forget the line of their care and affection. INITIALLY EVERYTHING IS HUNKY DORY. Change may cause initial inconvenience and could be full of surprises and shocks, but gradually our mind adapts and defends what is unacceptable. There are a number of emotional messages going around the social media and we all forward and feel so good about those 'precious daughters messages'. It's so nice to see people care so much for their daughters and it's for good change in mind set. It's good but the hypocrisy starts when that strong, well educated daughter is married off. One o...

You don't love me now! Well, alright...accept it.  If you are a man, you would have heard it many times and if you are a woman, you would have uttered or at least had such thoughts many times. If not, then congratulations, you are from some other planet! Beware, get alerted and set your alarms high if ever, next time you even think such words, or your spouse even mentions them. They can wreck your mental peace, relationship and serenity.  So, what do these words exactly mean? Though, it can be a man as well who may have such thoughts.  But, generally, women express themselves before venturing out for a new love.  Whereas, men just escape to greener pastures or get themselves involved somewhere to shut such thoughts to never let them out. So whichever side of the fence you are, don't suppress the thoughts. Express and explore the solutions. It's sure that you can not escape them but at least you can guard yourself against an impending d...

This request I make out of my compassion for all the women, who strive day in and day out to make this world a lovable and livable place.  I know, how hard it is, to keep all strings of life together, to keep everyday a sane perspective, look calm and collected, amidst the tempest of life, as soon as the day begins. gettyimages I am compelled to write this post because I have seen enough of pain and stress women take.  Life is full of mistakes but this year let's resolve to find out if you are a trap to any of these?  If you know someone like her, then show encouragement and share some kind words to motivate her to achieve her purpose in life. You may share this post with her to help her gain her strength back, even if it's a drop in an ocean.  So, I ask you to find out around you and help her find her cause :- IS SHE ONE OF YOUR TALENTED COUSINS OR YOUR NEIGHBOR? She was always a star. Good in academics or sports or something, s...

Sitting on a cot and shelling peas under the Sun. Chattering, laughing, sitting relaxed with the woolens on one side and the faces getting as bright as the rays. A common sight,in bright winter afternoons. If not in flats, at least in colonies where this comradeship is still appreciated. Sheer time waster!  Can't they find something better to do?  Something, more useful?  So, I thought just like so many, oh-so-savvy-office-goers! Not, after a decade. "Shelling Peas under the Sun" is in fact a "luxury" not everybody can afford. WHY & HOW IT BENEFITS YOU - "TO SHELL PEAS UNDER THE SUN" &  IT IS SOMETHING YOU CAN'T BUY WITH MONEY! Strong bones, height, weight, blood circulation and lots more.   Many systems of our body can be strengthened just by sitting under the Sun. The precious sunlight is a rich source of vitamin D and it helps calcium to be absorbed by our bones. ...

"My son doesn't like rice!" "My daughter wouldn't eat without switching on the TV." "My kid hardly eats anything." "My kiddo is so short and weak, what to do about this kid. I'm just fed up." All of us have heard same or similar mutterings around us from mothers. Old, new, doesn't matter. Almost all the mothers in their lifetime, knowingly or unknowingly make negative statements about their kids.  If you are not one of those, portraying a negative picture of your kid, then your kid would have been shining in the glory of your positive affirmation. No doubt. WHY KIDS BEHAVE THE WAY, THEY DO. Kids are no exception. If somebody praises your particular dress or behavior, you notice that you also like to adore that. You get regular in wearing that dress, which was appreciated. Or, you start behaving the way, people appreciate you the most. This is human psychology. Our kids are no different. T...

OFF THE PARCEL GOES... "Parcel the packet off the window". Last night leftover is to be adjusted. What's the easy way? Parcel the packet off the window.  This is the privilege you get when you live on upper floors.  And what about that parcel? Can't we throw it in the dustbin or give it to the garbage collecting boy? "Come on!" There are so many dogs around the lanes. They'll feast on the parcels.  So casual and so cool a reply. As if doing some kind of social service.  What about the people, who live downstairs?  None of our business!  How nice.  WE ARE WELL EDUCATED, CIVILIZED PEOPLE!  YOU ARE SELFISH  &  HAVE VESTED INTERESTS IF YOU POKE YOUR NOSE IN GARBAGE AROUND YOU!!! All the garbage strewn around the stairs.  A civilized, well educated MBA teacher in vicinity. She loves to keep her home hygienic by keeping garbage bin and all sorts of diy...
