Time has always been one thing we often disrespect often ending up losing your own reputation. There are not many people now who actually care to be on time when they say so. And I find many who make it a point they are always late, even if it’s an important meeting at their workplace. I have many habitual violators in my office too, every time reaching late with a big smile on their faces as if they had accomplished[...]
It’s a weird subject to write on for the Sunday Sip, but somehow it’s struck my mind. And once a volley of thoughts hit me, they just can’t get out of me. I trap them inside with an airtight cork till I put them in black and white! It’s simply about how we ape things around us, from the society we are living in and the friends we have in our circle. Though I am happy that I am not[...]
This Sunday I talk about a special relation of brother and sister as parts of India celebrate Raksha Bandhan next week. For our readers abroad, the festival is dedicated to the love and affection shared between a brother and a sister. On this day, sisters pray for long life of their brothers and ask God to bless them with his blessings. The relation between sister and brother is a special one and its one day brothers and sisters must cherish.[...]
The Sip of Life extends Independence Day wishes to all its readers today.

Saffron colour indicates the strength and courage of the country, white middle band indicating peace and truth with Dharma Chakra and the last band[...]
I have never been able to figure out what exactly doing good means. Let me ask you this question. Is it sparing some time for the needy? Is it contributing some money for the needy? Is it just being good to fellow beings, especially those close you? I feel it’s just nothing out of these or much beyond it, to be really precise. It’s about being good to your heart and soul that matters the most. I never intend to[...]
“2010 Commonwealth Games to boost sex tourism in India” “Don’t let the sex industry turn the Commonwealth Games into a pimping opportunity” One issue, contradicting headlines! Yes, there is no denying in the fact that Commonwealth games are bringing in not just pride to India, but also a boom to the sex industry. We may or may not accept it, but can never run away from reality, and despite the Indian government having announced ‘code of ethics’ to curb sex[...]
Can you believe this? A jar of air exhaled by Hollywood’s Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has been recently auctioned for $523 on eBay. This is something that will surely bring a smile on the face of anyone reading this as it did to mine, not just for the interesting read it made, but also for the foolishness of the person who bought it! The jar of ‘celebrity air’ was put up on auction in June and has been recently bought[...]

“Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back.”

The recent amendment made by the Union Cabinet for claiming divorce surely proves that marriage in India is no more a sacred tie.
