Appearances Can Be Deceptive! by PK Analysis. The human mind is very simple. It zeros in on the obvious. The guy whose drawer is in a mess is seen as having a disorganized pattern of thinking too. This is as crude as it can get. |
 |
A Turbulance Called Marriage by PK Now marriage as an institution is an attempt by the human mind to bring some order in the chaos that sexuality brings. The average humanity goes through this mill and it is the only kind of evolutionary sadhana an average person goes through. |
 |
Mars and Venus as Each Other’s Teachers by PK Marriage is team-work and this is an acquired trait which has to be learnt and practised with serious intent. Of course, we complement each other but most of us would be equally happy living alone, content in our own selfish balloons. |
 |
The Weapon Called Ridicule by PK This style of belittling others is a quaint little habit. You will notice it is a regular habit in some people. Their persona is wrapped around it. It is impossible to make a statement or ask these people anything and it becomes an opening for them to show their wit rather than answer the question in a down-to-earth way or give a plain unadorned answer. |
 |
Stay Aloof. Be Depressed. by PK Most people think, work and live their life generally with the prejudices that they tend to pick up in their short lives. A good professional education gives them the wherewithal to make something of their lives. Most are really capable and in their chosen field do rise to the top but soon get stuck in their own success. |
 |
Assistance or Interference? by PK “I just wanted to help.” How often have we heard this sentence in our lives? There is an old saying: The road to hell is paved with good intentions. This truth came to me in a roundabout but very emphatic way the other day. |
 |
A Dangerous Pitfall Called Comfort Zone by PK There is much talk of progress and success nowadays. Motivational programs are everywhere. In what sense of the word are we talking? For argument’s sake, let’s confine ourselves to the sense of advancement in career and money-making prospects. Th... |
 |
The world is upside down! by PK My own experience of life is that we are most of the time playing chess within our lives for no reason. For example when I was 10 or so, some boys wanted to steal mangoes. In the very first try we got caught. I decided then and there that there was no value in this cat-and-mouse game. The next time I wanted a mango, I just went and asked the owner and he gave me one! |
 |
Communication is complete only when it is registered by the receiver! by PK As it is, humans are known to be bad listeners. We are so occupied with saying our piece that our ears are perennially switched off. So we have this lovely scenario where everyone is yapping away but there is little or no attempt to ensure that it is all registering at the other end. And this is precisely the point I wish to make. |
 |
Debatable Points: Should servants be allowed to raise our kids? by PK I see so many children in the park coming out to play with their servants continuously admonishing them, don’t run – you will fall, don’t do this and don’t do that – you will get hurt. As by shouting from far they have done their duty. What kind of upbringing is this? |
 |
Use anger as a deliberate management tool... by PK There is much talk of anger management nowadays. It is good that the negative import of anger is understood now and people have become ready to do something about it if they can. |
 |
Working into a Lather by PK Have you noticed how some people can speak their part only in outbursts of some kind? They would be otherwise nice, sane people going about their lives in a circular routine that they have built around themselves. Yet, under their calm exterior there is always some undercurrent of judgmental thoughts flowing quietly which keep them perpetually irritated about something or the other. |
 |
How to Handle Control Freaks by PK Control freaks are always in a hurry and in their hurry end up destroying quite a lot of things around them that they themselves have built up. The trick is to let them rant but keep the control of the final action and pacing in one’s own hands |
 |
What shall be my resolves for this year? by PK The festive season of Christmas is upon us. As they say we shall all be goaded to unwrap our personas and let the cheerful, forgiving, outgoing and loving side of us, come out in the open. The western media has done such a good job at hyping this period that even slothful individuals do rake up enough energy to unglue their backsides and stand up to be counted. |
 |
Engaged and Busy by PK The title may seem as if I am going to talk about being professionally busy or posing as such. No I have another story this time. These are the two words I hear very often nowadays and I am prompted to talk about some of the incidents that I have experienced. |
 |
Resolved, signed and sealed! by PK Let us see if we are we going to take the coming of the new year as an excuse for revelry. Or, while we have drunk ourselves to the ground, we might even take on the onerous task of some introspection which should result in some resolutions to be made. I fear that the resolve to stick to resolutions lasts only up to the second drink. |
 |
Opt for change this new year! by PK The effort is to keep ourselves busy with the inane and avoid real contemplation. Hours are spent in discussions. Each and every aspect is dissected from every angle in great detail. The sentences are pregnant with cares. Along with every issue raised there is an accompanying sentence that rationalizes the happenings so wonderfully that no avenue is left to really put in the effort to do something about it. We look for answers but only those that satisfy our own view or desire will find favour with us. This is hypocrisy in action. |
|
Greeting Children by PK Greeting My Child. Today I can emphatically say that I am angry. What is gone wrong with adults? The insensitivity shown towards my child or for that matter other children simply makes me want to strangle them; don’t be fooled my exterior that... |

The art of Shirking by PK The Art of Shirking Mostly people are brought up to be up and doing; you do, you get. In this environment where everyone is up and about it requires a specific state of mind to flow against the river. I used to be one of those who would take a reque... |

Undressing tickles me pink. Discussing the saying -7 by PK Dressing by women is a cross between their need to clothe themselves and their instinct to undress. – attributed to Confucius ( although I doubt it). I am a believer. Look at his picture taken from today’s newspaper: Does that leave much roo... |

Speaking good but badly. Discussing the sayings (6) by PK Out of ten people who speak about you, nine would have nothing good to say. The one person, who has something good to say, will say it badly. – Pascal. It is a sad statement about human nature that we find it agonizingly difficult to speak wel... |

PK is tickled by dancing girls and Franklin D Roosevelt by PK Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Once I was reading about the concept of beauty and the parameters by which one judges something as beautiful. From the entire reading I came to the conclusion that it is all a matter of habit. The condit... |

PK is tickled by Lao Tzu, Alice Walker and The Buddha by PK Doing nothing is better than Being Busy Doing Nothing. – Lao Tzu This sounds simple. Have you ever tried to do nothing? You will be surprised how difficult it is to do nothing. It requires letting go of the feeling that if you d... |

Unused and Unusable Advice. by PK HR units and trainers are tumbling upon each other and doing great work to give yeoman’s advice to people so that they can improve themselves, execute their jobs better and fit in the working environment with success. I feel most of it goes down wi... |

Relationships and renunciation by PK It started with a man I saw lifting his hand to intimidate a school girl outside the school where I go to drop my girl. This enraged me and I could not resist intervening. But wonder of wonders, before I could get going, my wife who fears for my well... |

Musings on life! by PK Would somebody tell me how valuable I am? Am I more valuable dead than alive? You would of course say “alive”. Truly you would say I am asking a pointless and silly question. Very well, then would you explain to me why nobody could find time t... |

Discontent is a dangerous bug by PK A working group is a team effort. One wrong paddler can result in losing the race. An efficient cohesive group can take a company to undreamt heights. A discordant note in this orchestra can spoil everything, even ruin. It is surprising how fast a di... |

Break free from the pincers of appreciation and criticism... by PK We, of course, love to be appreciated. Even flattery is welcome as there being some basis of truth in it somewhere. We judge and work out our own place under the sun from comments we hear about ourselves. I wonder how many of us realize that th... |
