On Being Workholic

Workaholic person is the one who spend most of his or her time in office because that person finds it's addictive. But, the more addictive, the less productive is the reality.

The Infinite Loop Of Learning and Unlearning

To learn something, unlearn something! On Learning Let me begin with a common scenario. An inquisitive young boy grabs a toy. What do you expect? Play? Yes, he will start playing. But you just can't expect he will go on playing with that toy. Because sooner or later he will make that into pieces. What's the psychology behind that? Yes the curiosity prompted him to do such action. He wants to know how the toy is made up of or what makes the toy moving or making sound. All of us have an urge to learn new things. When we see something new, we ask many questions to get satisfying answers. Yes, that's learning. In that perspective, learning is a life long process. Age doesn't matter. Keep on learning and we discover new things and a reason to go ahead. Knowledge as we have it today has been subjected to constant interaction of culture, religion and science. It is from Generation after Generation.  As humans, we have amazed lot of knowledge on different sub...

Some Thoughts On Real Estate Investment

what time is the right time? Investment in real estate will not always yield good returns. Real estate market always fluctuates. With every policy decisions, real estate prices witnesses huge fluctuations. As one of the main pillar of the economy of a country, it functions as an indicator how strong the economy is.  As in the every other market, real estate market also function on the basic principle, that is, the demand vs supply decides the price. Rumours also causes the price sky rocket.   The rise and fall of economy is closely tied with the housing prices. Remember the housing bubble some years back. What happened was banks were lending too much money and people started investing in the real estate thinking that it will never come down. Housing prices were testing the new limits and then? What happened?  Soon the bubble broke and prices came down sharply. Many people were homeless. Banks who were once lending without asking too many questions has made th...

Inkscape A Great Companion For Graphic Design

Image created in Inkscape vector software Inkscape is a great opensource software that can be used to produce some amazing graphics illustration. It's ideal for you if you don't have money to buy expensive graphics software. For quite a few years I have been experimenting with Inkscape learning new techniques on how to create vector images nicely. What is Vector ? Ordinary image types tends to loose resolution when they are resized to a higher size. This makes them unusable in certain situation where a large scaling is required. Unlike images that are of the type jpeg,png, vector images retains their resolution whatever the size you resize them. That's the basic characteristic of a vector image which makes it very useful in the print and digital media. Inkscape has some great features through which you can create stunning vector images. All you should know is the basic understanding of how vector images can be manipulated using various tools available in the soft...

A Logical Perspective and a New Perspective to understand what Life is all about.

scientist Thinking Logically A Scientist has a different thought stream, relates everything that's around him or her with the science.  Logical thinking is what they call it. Logical thinking leads to discovering new theories explore the unexplored to find more about life and its surroundings.  To define science it is an effort in explaining the nature and the rules governing it by way of observation and experiments. A New Perspective?  In the logical perspective the question that's still not surely answered by science is that how come these rules came into existence without somebody intelligently defined them and implemented? That's a million dollar question science is trying to Decode. Yes, the word decode means something that's already been encoded. Modern science is able to decode DNA to some extent. DNA is decoded to read the numerous instructions that is meticulously PROGRAMMED into it. Who encoded these instructions so that we can decode them now. ...

Elephant and Mahout

During my one of recent tours, I saw an elephant. A big one that stood elegantly =. The animal was very big but the tool used to make the elephants obey commands is simply a wooden rod with a metal hook. The mahout, the person who take care of the animal always carry this tool to give instructions. Actually, the Mahout and the elephant enjoys a close relationship. There will be one assistant to Mahout to help him in taking care of the animal.

Anything You Do, Do It With Passion

Doing something halfheartedly will not make you successful and not at all productive in the long run. From a career perspective too it will be disastrous. If there is a serious gap between what a person want to do and what he or she is taught to do then that person should make some adjustments to bring down this gap to deliver the passion in the right direction. Do It With Passion People are born with a passion, a passion is always within us to do things that interests us. The challenge is to identify our passion and ignite it to become successful. Working towards a passion is the most rewarding experience one can ever have. A person who likes his job is the the happiest one on the earth and is likely to finish the work quick and perfect. It is a mindset to do more and a positive outlook towards life. What would you do if you are not happy with your job, but still forced to continue your job?  It's a hard question for many people. It's not wise changing job ever...

Pretty Cool

sliding girl Hi Folks, To enjoy life face stay cool. In life don't worry or get too excited. Look at a kid and learn how he or she understands the life around. They're eager to learn and never hesitate to take help from others. Understand what is expected from your life. As the time withers, we all get old and loose charm. To stay healthy just indulge in some kind of hobby or something that adds to your productivity and creativity. Another way to tell this is to help others when the need help. It gives you immense pleasure and satisfaction as a human being. There is nothing better than seeing how people are influenced by you and get better in life. Look for opportunities to help others.

In Search Of Water

insearch of water Scarcity of water is a major issue that's facing poor and developing countries around the world. Clean water simply remains as a dream for many. Millions are forced to use water from unclean resources that leads to the spread of water-borne diseases. The 2016 summer was the highest ever recorded in centuries. Water is becoming scarce and scarce each day due to pollution and factors that are beyond human control. The only solution is to implement a good water management. It involves educating people on how to use water efficiently, identifying polluting agents and cleaning the natural water resources. It is a big area where we all need to pay more attention to ensure the proper disbursement of clean water to millions.

Runaway From Life

Running Away in life is the first thought that comes in a lazy person mind when troubles strike. Why? It's simple. They fear facing the reality and perplexed how to overcome it. Instead of being proactive, they choose a hide and seek philosophy. These people loose confidence and exploited by others. But the reality is not always that harsh they think. Unfortunately many who runaway from life fails to realize this.  What could offer some help is reading about people who've undergone such situations and learning how they had come in terms with the circumstances can help. These real life stories can help them overcome fear and face reality. Bible is a rich source of stories about people who have faced dire circumstances who've bravely fought against such odd things. One such example is the story of Job.

Life Simple

Life is to enjoy our surroundings. Look around you, there are many things we can derive happiness from. Everything God has created for us is to feel us happy and nourished. The birds, flowers, trees all do their duty without a mistake. The variety of food we eat, drink proves that God created us with a purpose, that is enjoy life. Isn't it?  

Life Is A Balancing Act

Balancing Walk Let me begin this with a positive note. We all want happiness in our life. To that end, we do many things, decisions are part of our life. Some of our decisions are good while others may prove wrong in the years to come. The more we view our life, it is a balancing act. There are many decisions to be made in our short life span. Knowing how why we take these decisions are important. Before we take every step, we think twice, because we assume the responsibility and aware about the fact that we have to bear the consequences. Taking each and every step seriously considering what lies ahead means doing a job perfectly. Just avoid multi-tasking. That's not something for common people. Do one thing at a time. Move with consistency and preparedness. That's something professionalism demands. People with such attitudes can climb ladder of success effortlessly. Our decisions, big or small means a big difference in our life's quality. Our decisions can b...

Choosing The Right Time To Talk

If you want to be heard, wait for the right time. As Ecclesiastes 3:2-8 puts it " A right time to shut up and another to speak up " It requires patience and observation skills to wait for the right time to start speaking. Sometimes it could be an answer to a question or a reply to a letter, but serving it at a wrong time will be disastrous. Yes, I used that word "disastrous" because ignoring the circumstances will have bitter consequence. Sometimes we feel sorry about what we spoke or wrote under a tiring circumstance. "Oh, I shouldn't have talked like that", then we apologize. Although an apology can turn the situation lighter, the damage is sometimes irrevocable and permanent. 

Don't Complicate

Human mind lies in two ranges, simple and complicated. A person with complicated mindset will have a difficult time ahead. They review everything with a negative note. On the contrary, a person with a simple mind will have a positive outlook and get things done quickly. Our whole life (work,life,business and everything else) depends upon the outlook we have towards things around us. A simple person can make complicated things simple, while a  complicated person can't make complicated things simple. A simple mind can accept things as it is and a complicated mind complains about everything that's happening around. Simply put, a balanced view is what is required.
