Today when i was in this department store I saw this quote written on of the magazines in display which goes something like this(don't remember the exact words,my apologies) :-"Anybody can provoke a dog to start barking.If anybody can provoke me to get angry than what am I?" This one struck me real hard since its such a wonderful thought.All of us do get angry one way or other.According to Oxford dictionary- Anger is a display of emotions such as displeasure,annoyance or hostility. None of these words indicate anything positive or desirable. According to a study from Ohio State University, those who had less control over their anger tend to heal more slowly from wounds.In addition, anger tends to release extra cortisol in the body. If anger is so bad why do we all get angry?Why do we feel victorious for yelling at the stray cycle wala who jumped out of nowhere in front of our car without any warning,leaving a frown on our face for the rest of the drive?I had...

When i was planning to start a new blog i was wondering what i will name my blog space.I had a brainstorming session with my friend but we couldn't come up with anything.I was keen to put some Spanish/German or french name so that nobody will understand what is means and people will be after me to get the meaning and they will think i am a big shot with a terrific multilingual vocab.

Speaking about chakravalam ,Its a malayalam word which means Horizon.This again is an illusion because there is no place in this world where sky and earth meets.Its ju...

Recently I got a fwd mail about the toys we cannot forget..Yes ,Machinga Pambaram,Olla pambe,OlaKanada,OlaPipi,Ola watch. Hope you guys remember those, which our grandparents made in an instant when we throw a tantrum for a gift.(For the benefit of the non malayalees,these are the toys which we can make from coconut palm leaves). Speaking about toys, I was just reminded of shopping for toys for my 2 little nephews(1.3 yrs old).Yes my sister is a proud mother of 2 little heroes(yes they are twins ) who can make the baby in Baby’s day Out look like cute angel if naughtiness is the topic in question. So, I was busy shopping for these young men in all the shops you can imagine Landmark,Lifestyle,Archies,Odyssey. Toys in these shops, I tell you, they cost you this month’s and next month’s salary. I was after a spider Man stuffed doll(He is my favorite character) ,but when I saw the price tag which had astronomical figures on it (which I doubt I am literate enough to read),I was wondering If...
