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, senior journalist in a leading national daily, to cull out The Seven Highs, the childhood anecdotes, the Views on News and those songs that touch the deepest recesses of the heart; will not just give you the potential to sustain chores but preserve the moments that otherwise are lost in time.
The 18th century experienced rise of industrialization, an era to weave irony and satire in poems on life and manners. Today, the manners are learned but the tactics have lost their way. At Canadian Café, Rebecca Rosenblat guides how to handle relationships and not just maintain their term but also retain their essence. Child rearing, love and marriage are some areas on which tips to resolve conflicts can be sought.
The colours of rainbow, the destructive storms, the birds chirping at sunrise, the sudden death of one’s loved one; this is the range of the myriad experiences that life has in store. At Elena’s Sip, Elena dal Friuli shares life from the perspective of the ordinary man who strives to be unique in each phase of life. And Chris Shamsher, the country promoter from Canada brings exquisite pictures that rekindle the urge for simplicity in his Glimpse of Canada column.
The Other Side, a monthly column provides insights to the issues of rural India in the words of researcher Dr Rajat Chabba. It includes stories from rural India about the people who have made a difference, his interactions with the people, stories of patients, fieldworkers and many more like them
The continuous urge to be better or even better than the best not just keeps life going but culminates in creating ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ alike. Carving out a niche for oneself is the need of the hour. When an MBA leaves her job to follow her dreams of ‘Chai Cart’ or when an actor shaves her head off to bring hope to the cancer patients, these stories not just go into one’s mind but penetrate deep into one’s heart and create the enthusiasm to ‘change’.
With man going head over heels to be tech-savvy, the Tech Talk column in ‘thesipoflife’ aims to enlighten the readers’ about the latest and unique technology advancements
Life is not always about accepting silently the things that happen around.
