A wise Zen mentor was resting with his quick-witted disciple. The master took out a melon out of his bag and cut it in half for the two of them to eat. In the middle of the meal, the enthusiastic disciple said, “Teacher, I know everything you do has a meaning. Sharing this melon with me may be a sign that you have something to teach me.” Without any reaction, the master continued eating in silence. “I understand the mysterious …
Every moment in this world’s history can be uniquely identified using the system of calendar and clock. Every moment of your life has a unique time tag attached to it – the day on which it happened, the time at which it happened. The whole concept of time-identification – that is based on calendar and clock allows us to uniquely identify and refer to each moment in past, present and future.

Since my childhood, I’ve been hearing the term “Marketing” always along with “Sales”, rarely without it. It’s almost as if Marketing and Sales are a couple, Marketing being the boyfriend and Sales being it’s melodramatic girlfriend. But in reality, that isn’t the case. On behalf of all the marketing professionals in the world, I’d like to clarify here that Marketing and Sales may be dependent on each other in some specific businesses, but they are never the same. Sales is …

I often meet people who are clueless about where their life is going. Sometimes, their parents have chosen their career path for them, which may not be working out so well. And sometimes, they are simply clueless about what career-path they should choose. Sometimes, I meet some people who aren’t happy with their relationship but feel obligated to be in it. And some people, who aren’t really bothered about having a job, or a relationship are simply clueless about why …

And no, it isn’t when you feel someone is just perfect for you. Love is simply the comfort you feel, deep inside your …
“He cried and cried for days, regretting his decisions and thinking about how he could have done things differently.” If you’ve read the previous sentence, it must have given birth to a few stories. You are already judging that character. You know that he was a guy – could be a teenager, a young adult or an old man; but definitely not a toddler. But did the sentence tell you all this?

I don’t make phone calls when I think of someone, or text them. When I think of them, I think about how much important they are to me, and I cherish the memories with them, I cherish their existence in my life. But I don’t see a reason …

Green looks neutral while black looks like dominance and power. White is colour of peace while pink reflects “girly”. Have you ever wondered why it is so? Let me give you a food for thought. We are scared of red, because of we are scared of pain. Whenever an injury occurs, we see …
