Thoughts In A Wandering Mind

                One of the qualities which has been deeply ingrained within myself is the pledge for equality and to oversee a society which treats everyone equally, by negating everything one gains by virtue of his birth. I never want to differentiate anyone by means of what he inherited by birth. I never pledge allegiance to one group, or I don’t work for a group. I would be very happy to see persons from different backgrounds – small, weak, marginalized etc. doing wonders in their lives. When everyone feels motivated, inspired to rise to the top; break the social barriers and reach the higher echelons, then we will be looked up as a just and equal society. I always like to have people reaching the highest offices from the lowest social strata. This is simply because, all men and women are born intrinsically equal; we all have the same spirit, same soul within each one of us but disillusioned, masked by differe...

               I don’t know how to live – this has been my most significant quality since the last 12 years or the time since I came into public domain after graduation. I might be a clever student as a child but it translated to nothing in the way I approach my life in the real world. I read textbooks but failed to read the laws of practical living. Reading is easy to me, studying is easy to me, sitting in classes watching lectures is easy and it has been a good ride till twenty years, since it doesn’t need any skills. Once I came into the real world, I am a soldier without weapons – the tools required are not in possession nor the program required to run the software.               I lived on my own terms -good or bad, beating the convention and ruing on my own eccentric trajectory. Everyone constructs beautiful houses, it just reflects their structured liv...

                Have a great weekend! Have a great night! Have a wonderful day ahead! Have sumptuous food! Have a gala time! Have a great married life!  These are some of the well wishes we hear on a daily basis to people around us or to our own selves. All the people wish everyone else to have plenty of these in abundance. The world will be a great place if everyone, in fact, has everything required in plenty. But the same world will become sad when the people turn from ‘Haves’ to ‘Have Nots’. It is really important to operate by ‘having’ rather than not. The same people who wish you ha ve everything will come to question – ‘How are you doing’, 'How is your health’, ‘How are you keeping’, ‘How are you working’, ‘How are you running’ and so many questions. The problems with ‘Having’ lie on one side and the problems which arise out of ‘not having’ come on the other side. As we are seeing the past few years, t...

                Leaving everything that has been related to work, my situation, difficulties, challenges etc. I had been relocated to the city of Chicago, three months back. I was just waiting for things to fall in place and normalize after my relocation before I write on this splendid city. As I understood, things will never be smooth; life will have its ups and downs in the journey and let us savor the moment, setting. My journey resumed in Chicago in the U.S. which is a stuff of dreams. Though I am confined to my work-from-home routine and going through all the rigors of employment, I often remember that I was in Chicago – a city I looked up at the top from my position at bottom. Everyone will have few imaginations about a place even without visiting. I have very high imaginations of this place right from my childhood. Let me tell you a bit more about this exciting stuff.       ...
