Inordinately fond of history as I am, I’ve decided to write about it. Not about my first love–from an historical perspective, I mean–Medieval European History, or my second love, Russian History. Not even about the bloodiest day in American History, the Civil War Battle of Antietam, which should have brought the Union cause […]

Mediocre people choose lives of mediocrity. It’s not that they aren’t smart enough..or lucky enough…or attractive enough.
People who live lives of excellence, on the other hand, make excellent choices (I’m not saying they don’t experience setbacks - I’m saying they approach their day differently).
Imagine with me for a moment: what if there was a way […]

Researchers from some of the country’s most prestigious medical centers have found in their studies that meditation can impact the thickness of the cortical tissue in the brain. This type of change is significant in the way the tissue is then able to process sensory, cognitive, and emotional responses.
The group of researchers from Harvard, […]

Have you performed your random act of kindness today? What is a random act of kindness? A random act of kindness is when you give of yourself to someone else in an effort to make their day a little brighter. The act can be something simple, like smiling and saying hello to […]

I found myself back in campus yet again last month. I found the students very busy doing exams. I recalled the days I was there and fast forwarded to my present life. There is a definite difference.

It witnesses all our action and speech.
We cannot do anything without its knowledge.
It is none other and it is our conscience.
When human beings commit wrong they can escape from […]

Let us set about understanding ‘pranayama‘ and meditation after we drew down our expectations from them. Some people expect the impossible from these. The uninformed anticipations like diabetes cure or ‘kevela kumbhaka’* (do not worry what it is, at this stage) helping to defy death, bring disrespect to this simple, pristine health practice. It is […]

Life is about self-discovery. The paths we choose in life, the experiences that shape and mold our future, all lead us ultimately to define who and what we are. We hope this process is a constant evolution and that we are constantly challenging ourselves to achieve higher levels of personal growth. But do […]

What’s new in your life? Are you one of those exceptionally perky people who make the average person cringe? You know who I mean, the person who has the permanent smile whether it’s morning, noon, or midnight, is high on life, just loves practically everything, and can put a positive spin on anything that life […]

I have been a business owner for about a minute. In fact, that would probably be quite generous if you compared me to the business moguls out here or anywhere for that matter. But in spite of that fact, I probably know a lot about business, more than I realize and much more […]
