My Grand Master Sri Yukteswar ji would always say, “Learn to behave.” Three simple words are these, but a vast spectrum of meaning, as we can see. Let us understand. The world is our extended Self. If I want to get along with others, I must first learn to get along with myself. Now, to [...]

Tickledbylife.com has evolved. It was meant to be my personal blog when I started it in 2008. By early 2009, it had evolved into a group blog with more than one hundred 'ticklers' contributing regularly. It soon became one of the most popular personal development destinations on the planet.
It has been inactive for the last few months because I have not been able to spend much time on it. I am now reviving it as my personal blog again!

Occasionally, it is about cricket and some people that I like or don’t like! These are my personal thoughts and opinions so do not blame my employer, friends or family if you do not agree with something.
