My inspiration started as a sadness that turned to joy. I was about five when my oldest
sister, Amber was burned by some scalding hot water. The burns were all the way down one side of her body, including
one side of her face. After the accident,
Amber went through a lot of struggles that had to do with her healing skin...

Majority of us think of physical strain when we think of hard work. I do not agree with this, It may or may not be
physical strain. Well before some work or activity can tire us up, the feeling on the mind that we carry,
having convinced
ourselves, that we are sure to get really tired, tires us up completely, leaving us with no zeal...

I have to confess to a strange habit - I talk to my body. For example, when I'm going
out for a run, I'll say something like, "OK, everybody, we're going out to run 5 miles. Legs - you'd
better get ready; heart - prepare to start pumping!" After the
run, I heartily congratulate all the
parts that suffered most, especially the feet, and thank them for their cooperation...

Every day we see huge number of people who are at the best of their abilities. No matter
what, we still feel that if it was me I would have done it better. But my friend, you don't have to be that someone to
make it better you can make it much better
by being yourself. We observe people around, we admire few out of them, we respect
many in them, we imitate one among...

So you've got a good idea for a novel. You've got characters bouncing around your head, you've chosen a setting, and
you've got an idea of what is going to happen first and how it will end. The middle? Well, that's not always as clear.
So
now what? Most people just sit down and start writing. Let it be known that those people
almost never get published. You've got to have a structure, a plan to get from point A to point B...

Life to me is a product of what we design it to be. I was born twenty years ago, with my
late father be-ing an engineer with an enviable and handsomely paying job, while my mother being a house wife. It was
the good life and lack was a
word we never heard on our tables. Six years later, my seemingly auspicious future was
truncated by the death of...

The sound of breath, the fall of a coin, the gush of wind, the rush of waves, a mothers lullaby, the clap of a baby,
a click of a pen, the shoot of a gun.
This is music to me. I am not a singer nor a performer but just a music lover. Ever since I can remember, music has been my companion.

Say, you see a friend dressed up well while walk-ing. Will you appreciate the person or will
you think before appreciating the possible reply? Or the ego inside you might not allow you to appreciate others.
When teacher
explains a very good point in the class, do you acknowledge that or still keep regretting for opting
that course?...

of the most popular cuisines in the world. This cuisine strives for balance, both nutritive and aesthetic. It is one

Loss of volition in childhood is a stressor that colours the way in which we emotionally
learn to interpret intervening events.
Inwardly, intervening events are interpreted and filtered through
emotional memory. A moment that contains rejection is the only thing
that those inward, hurt dwellers of psyche latch onto...
