Wish, Desires and Attachment

An introspection into this thought is worthwhile as to what one means by the change. In fact, nothing has changed…
So close, but still so far
The human mind is very intriguingly complicated. It has a tremendous capacity to reach out far and wide, but at the same time not able to get the grasp of things so close at many times. Be it the relationship among the family members, colleagues or anyone in the social milieu, there is a pattern…
Bridging the Generation Gap
We are facing the generation gap problems among individuals, families, neighborhoods, and society at large. Many a time, we do not reflect upon what actually is happening when problems arise, but just go on blaming one another without going into the basic issues. Without addressing them to the core, these issues create differences between generations…
