For anyone of us, it’s a different day that a normal working day because we can unwind ourselves to gear up for the coming week. It’s another day to take your sip with me – The Sunday Sip…

  • I Do Care…I Don’t Care!

    This Sunday, it’s a sip that’s going to leave you with a lingering taste! It’s about how in your busy life you often forget how to care. It’s about you who doesn’t care even when you say that you do…
    It’s life’s simple yet so important part, to care and be cared for. We all want it, yet most of us fail doing it ourselves. Our expectations are often more than what we ourselves do when others expect the same from[...]

  • Relief In Grief

    Recently there was a death in the family and it came all of a sudden. Her kidneys had failed over the time and even repeated dialysis was of no use. She passed away peacefully leaving behind her family in grief yet relief as they had seen her suffering so much all these years.
    I have often seen and felt too, there is always a relief many a time in times of grief. It can’t be said, but felt a lot. When[...]

  • Bribing Our Souls

    In our lives the desire to have more never ends and we spend our entire lives in an effort to have more and more money and happiness. We end up looking for materialistic desires at every step of our lives, never satisfied with what we have.
    Today’s post is all about our aspirations which often take up nowhere. It’s about our dream to get richer and it’s also about losing a lot in the process. It’s the story of losing a[...]

  • Anger – One Letter Short of Danger!

    It’s nothing but a matter of time and anger can bring out the worst in you at times. How many times do you think you have experienced anger – how many times your own and how many times someone else’s? It’s all a state of mind that comes like a storm and leaves you or someone else with bruises, just as the real storm at times leaves damaging trees and their branches around us.
    It comes and knocks your door and[...]

Many times we look back and wish we could do things over, we could forgive and ask for forgiveness, we could love and be loved, we could lift others, we could find ways to amend for things that have not gone right. This poem is to remind us that now is the time to do all those things we wish for, before it is too late. Elena, our columnist in this poem has so aptly brought out the emotions which bind[...]

Gender Differences

Posted by Amit Roy On July - 1 - 2010 0 Comment

Week after week, couples sit on my “analyst’s couch” and share all the ways they’re being mistreated by their partner. And what’s interesting is that regardless of their background, socio-economic status, age or religiosity, most men sound alike, just as most women do. In other words, racial, religious, educational, and fiscal differences pale in comparison to gender differences, that are a part of our Devine design, for many wonderful reasons – none of which have to do with irritating each[...]

The Sip of Life-a confluence of the mind and the heart…Capturing the simple moments of life in a camera or articulating feelings into words, to retain their freshness, even if opened after a decade, is what eloquence in life is all about. You learn- You share- I learn, I learn- I Share- You learn; this is the elementary step towards rejoicing in success and learning from the success stories of those around you.
An insight into the blogger’s mind, Amit Roy,[...]

No More Helpers: The Inflatable Ones!

Summers always remind me of the swimming times I had as a child when my dad was working. We had a swimming pool in the campus we lived, venturing into which I loved the most. Not that I knew well how to swim but because cold pool water helped me beat the heat!
My mom and sister, both were good swimmers, and I happened to learn a lot from them. We had three pools – the small one, the medium and[...]
