It's all a matter of Perspective

'Love for a particular thing', is the  first thought that strikes most of our minds when we come across the word ‘passion’ in our daily lives. But, is the word passion restricted to only the feeling of love? Well, let's look into a few more words that gives us an insight into the word passion. Hate, Enthusiasm, Anger, Desire etc. are also in some way or the other related to passion. It could be a strong desire to achieve something or enthusiasm for a much awaited moment or a strong feeling of hatred towards anything. All of these have a close tendency to match up and compete against the word 'love', when it comes to understanding passion, but love always wins. Let's start with how the feeling of hatred challenges love to define passion. It is said that there's just a small line separating the two feelings, the feeling of love and the one of hate. A few fictional characters are such that we love to hate them. For example: Mr.Collins from Pri...

A unique name for an individual is quite handy when it comes to the recognizing one’s identity in a large group. There’s been lot of research being carried out on whether a person’s name can have any sort of impact on the future, and the results are evident. “ Names tell us a lot about who you are .” - Simonsohn             Just like any other external indicators of a person such as accent or clothing can give a gist of what kind of a person an individual is with respect to the person’s character or the surroundings in which the individual was brought up, so can the first name. And just like any other external indicators, names lie as well.  A name can have a profound impact on a child that reverberates well into adulthood, a growing body of research suggests.                          As the time goes by, the results of...

A cloud of dust, obstacles the horizon Seeded with ponderous mist of pessimism Wrenches of anxieties and incertitudes Isn’t it too premature to hinder and succumb? Morning is the cogent part of day Though sometimes best thing comes At noon or what we call the mid-day But most would cede and resign Isn’t it too premature to hinder and succumb? At dusk, you’re discontented and flung Hope withers and will resort to self-pity  Weep, crawl and drag yourself down Drown yourself and dwell in impassiveness Isn’t it too premature to hinder and succumb? A day may pass and the sun won’t shine But a week has seven days, thirty in a month  There is “One Day” for you; it’s all in its time Enough of the hamminesses, be swarming and get out One day it will come, sit tight and wait for your turn!! “There is a sort of enthusiasm in all projectors, absolutely necessary for their affairs, which makes them proof against the...

Cartoons…!! What do most of the children watch on the television? Children like to watch cartoons even before they start to speak! Do you know why? I think because of the funny and different figures of animals and humans which they have pictured in various forms.  Cartoons as well give a social message to people in the form of a fun filled art!! They might also provoke an idea by using fun faces. This helps you to become futuristic and optimistic as well.  They come in all shapes, sizes, colors and attitude. Every cartoon we watch has a learning and a few lessons for life.  They are without doubt the most entertaining aspect of childhood.  As the time passed by, the ability to make use of common sense in humans (most of them) is reduced to a great extent. Common sense is no more common. We seldom see people using it. Donald Duck a famous Disney character sums this up very well in one of the cartoon shows as: "I have to stop saying 'How stupid ...

"An idle mind is a devils workshop,isn't it??"             This was back then. But as the time passes, interpretation of these quotes change as well. Let’s try to understand this considering the various stages of a human’s life starting from the childhood to adolescence and finally the old age.                                 No one actually knows what is going on in a kids mind. Moods can be easily understood but not the thought process. Even if the kid is sitting idle or there is a pause in the flow of thoughts, the idle mind can’t be turned into a devil’s workshop as the mind is still in the process of growth and it hardly knows anything about a devil or the evil stuff around. The only thing that their mind can do is give birth to the creative instincts and a whole new world of imagination. So, a kids brain no matter what, hardly gives ...
