Experience An Experience


 Experience An Experience 

It is rightly said, Every Moment is the best moment. But can we treat every moment as the best moment?

Once a wise man said, " Be present in the present, as a present."

Sadly, most of us do not experience an experience. We are too busy butchering the experience by our past, good or bad, right and wrong, thereby missing the experience, altogether.

To experience an experience, one needs to be present to an experience. Only if one is present in 'What is', one will realise how one's past starts interfering with the present experience. Very often our mind judges an experience on the basis of our likes and dislikes. So our likes and dislikes are superimposed on that experience.


But, then the next thing to ponder is, do we have likes and dislikes or do likes and dislikes have us?

I believe, as unconscious beings, likes and dislikes control our lives, and as conscious beings, we are the masters of our likes and dislikes.

In reality, likes and dislikes are not the problem at all. However, do they control your life, or are you in control of them, is the real question.

Our Little Man Turns 2 Months Old!

          Our dear son, Sarvagy has reached his 2-month birthday yesterday! These past two months have been a wonderful whirlwind as we've adjusted to life as a family of three. We still remember the excitement and nervousness when we brought him home from the hospital. How tiny he looked in his car seat!           We are so amazed at how much Sarvagy has grown and changed in such a short period of time. He has developed his own little personality and seems to have new abilities each day. From lifting his head steadily, to cooing and smiling, to grasping objects with his tiny hands - we celebrate each new milestone.           While the sleepless nights can be tiring, each morning we are energized by his sweet smile and chubby cheeks when we go to get him from his crib. Our hearts melt with every little coo and gurgle he makes as he takes in the world around him with wide-eyed wonder. As first-time parents, we also want to thank our family and friends for their love, support, and ha

Schools must strive to ensure children achieve best of their ability The role of a school is to create a citizenry for the future by building a group of young people who are passionate, ethical and with strong moral-social radar.  The youth must have a keen sense of justice and an ability to reinvent themselves, whatever challenges their lives demand. The aim is also to give a solid base for their future professional lives and the myriad responsibilities of being an adult.  The School's commitment goes beyond curriculum transactions. It interfuses into co-parenting and being the proverbial friend, philosophical, and guide.  School must aim at ensuring that children achieve the bets of their ability.

Schools must also cons

The Real Mistake is to stop TRYING.

  The Real Mistake is to stop TRYING. Mrs. Warren’s Profession is a play written by George Bernard Shaw. In the play, he writes that “People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.” It is important to realize that failure is a normal part of life; however, you should not let failure deter you from pursuing your aim. If success requires you to walk the extra mile, do walk, because along the extra mile, there is no traffic jam. Remember to keep the faith in yourself. Strive to do well; do not give up even in trying circumstances. You may falter but keep walking towards your goal. The best things happen to those who keep trying in the face of difficult circumstances.  As B.F.Skinner says, “A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real m
