The Art of Crying

Have you ever taught your kid to cry? Right from the very moment of their life in this world they cry. Perhaps one of the things you try to unlearn throughout your life and never really succeed. So natural. Isn't? The tone, the style, the need, I bet kids (age below 4) are the masters of crying. It means so much to them. They cry if they are hungry. They cry if they are sleepy. They cry if they are scared. They cry if they want someone to take them. They cry if they are tired. They cry if they want to ... It is their language. I think the best of mothers and fathers are the one who can understand/predict and prepared for it. Sometimes they keep crying. You know there is something wrong but you can't get it. They know no language other than filling their eyes with tear. You have no remedy but to hold them tight and make them feel that you love and care them through your every breath. I would say that is an extremely painful moment for a mother. You wanted to go somewhere for a v

The Concept of Bankruptcy

I got this as an email forward: Though it is very long it is worth reading, especially at this time as we here a lot about huge rise and fall in the land value and shares. Once there was a little island country. The land of this country was the tiny island itself. The total money in circulation was 2 dollars as there were only two pieces of 1 dollar coins circulating around. 1) There were 3 citizens living on this island country. A owned the land. B and C each owned 1 dollar. 2) B decided to purchase the land from A for 1 dollar. So, now A and C own 1 dollar each while B owned a piece of land that is worth 1 dollar. * The net asset of the country now = 3 dollars. 3) Now C thought that since there is only one piece of land in the country, and land is non producible asset, its value must definitely go up. So, he borrowed 1 dollar from A, and together with his own 1 dollar, he bought the land from B for 2 dollars. * A has a loan to C of 1 dollar, so his net asset is 1 dollar. * B sold hi

Drop Your Ego

I have seen the "seed" be used in many places as an analogy to bring life, full potential from nothingness. The following one is quite different and interesting. It is taken to show when and why you could drop your ego. You take a seed and cut it in any direction. Can you find the beautiful flowers, feel the fragrance? No. And you know nothing can come without the seed. Well, the realisation requires a multiphase transition from the seed. Even for a man to realise his infinite potential, he has to go through many phases. One such phase is where he drops his ego, similar to the seed dropping its outer shell. The shell has to protect the seed to an extent. Neither the wind nor the sun should be allowed to kill the seed. If that happens, the seed dies without unleashing the greenery it bears - trees would only be seed's dream. So it can no longer be allowed to protect the seed when it is a perfect time to drop it, on a wet land. The seed has to drop the shell to bring forth
