This is a piece by the rare genius that was , " RABINDRANATH TAGORE ", my apologies in advance to those who feel offended or feel i have disgraced somehow! The child who is decked with prince's robes and who has Jewelled chains round his neck loses all pleasure in his play; his dress hampers him at every step. In fear that it may be frayed, or stained with dust he keeps himself from the world, and is afraid even to move. Mother, it is no gain, thy bondage of finery, if it keeps one shut off from the healthful dust of the earth, if it rob one of the right of entrance to the great fair of common human life. I really don’t know what the maestro here meant by robes and jeweled chains but I cannot help equate those to the wishes of “secure” future, respectable positions, the clichéd wrongs and the over hyped rights. The relativity of success to my mind is no less than a stain and the never ending comparisons are bondage. Healthful is to be able to let your life be lead by

A woman threw money in the hat and, without stopping, continued to walk. At 6 minutes: A young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and started to walk again. At 10 minutes: A 3-year old boy stopped, but his mother tugged him a

The title is not incomplete. At least not in the context of what I want to say. I know I am very young to be preaching things like this but I would rather say that I am just a little more thankful. “Believing” is the one thing that I truly feel is essential to achieving everything that we have ever desired. Believe that whatever will happen, will be for the best. When you find yourself in a situation which seems very critical and difficult to get past, just for a while make your mind believe that you have solved the problem and in just about some time you will be guided to the right path, irrespective of what your decision was. I know that sounds bizarre and absolutely insane but I can say that not because I am cranky (though I am) but because I have experienced that method work for me. Just when I thought that there has probably come a time where I will have to make alterations to the plan I had for myself, something as per my plan comes my way. It’s as if someone else was making th
