Is it the Grass greener or you make it look green???


The grass is greener on the other side of the fence. This is the cheesy line which everyone throws when he/ she is left out with some difficulty. But whats the exact theory behind it.

Once Mr.A couldn’t clear the interview. However, Mr.B who appeared for the same cleared it in one go. He got the job. Mr.A simply couldn’t digest it and said that Mr.B got the job because his cousin was in the same company. This can be one of the reason but not entirely true. What about your hardwork and efforts. You don’t have to make any excuses for your lack of preparation.

The people have to find the solution for any given problem rather throwing the bullet on other person’s court.

If the grass is greener on the other side, it’s the fault of the gardener and not the grass. You should water it and make it strong and greener and certainly not blame it on the grass. You have to make an effort to face the situation and go extra mile. You cannot be a coward and sit back and wait for the things to happen.

Live in this moment rather thinking what the future is in store for you. If you do not make the things happen in present moment, the future would not seem brighter. Future lies in present.

So before falling for the future tense, please make strong your present tense or else you have to be tensed all your life.

    The story of Mr A and Mr B also reminds of another saying " Sour Grapes"...But yes one needs to be in a situation to understand it

    Ahh well narrated!
    future depends on present that how we are utilizing the time we have in our hands.
    We can't bind the time,
    can't carry our age,
    can't depict the future,
    we are the maker of our own,
    can hold the blowing
    waves from overblown.........

PURPLE HIBISCUS – The fragrance of Hope and Freedom will be etched in your hearts forever

“I wanted to tell Mama that it did feel different to be back, that our living room had too much empty space, too much wasted marble floor that gleamed from Sisi’s polishing and housed nothing. Our celing was too high. Our furniture was lifeless: the glass tables did not shed twisted skin in the harmattan, the leather sofas’ greeting was a clammy coldness, and the Persian rugs were too lush to have any feeling. But I said, “You polished the etagere.” " The above text appears when Jaja and Kambili return from Nsukku, their Aunty Ifeoma’s house, and witness their place as dull and lacking warmth even though the house glistened like a palace. The warmth that Aunty Ifeoma’s house had carried during the days they spent despite having a nondescript house and where they prayed every day for Peace and Laughter. Laughter among all the things. Because Laughter was valued in their house everyday despite living with shortcomings something that Kambili hardly got to experience in own h

Positivity in Tee: Reading between the Errands

  You cannot run from positive affirmations even if you think you have run out of them.   They will come, looking for you. All you have to do is keep your eyes wide open and graciously receive them with warmth and care. They can come to you at any moment and from any quarter perhaps, while running errands like when the momentum has picked up in you to array the disarray in your child’s wardrobe. When that happens, you treat them as a little note, an epiphany or a sacred sign from the universe and insert them as a key that locks itself into your mind with an audible click, only to unlock a change in you and get reflected in every journey you embark. When your little one’s Tees mouth affirmations, you cannot just run away without glancing at it. Start small, dream big, repeat – Starting small and repeating them with consistency is so underrated these days. So much of today’s world is rooted in instant gratifications and making it big in a wink of time. Small, incremental progress is th

Unspoken words with Intense gaze.................

Vindhya was sipping hot cup of coffee on her desk. She was reading a quarterly report of her company. As she finished, she glanced at the debt market desk opposite to her. She cannot see him. She was yearning and longing for his eyes, innocuous smile and seductive charm. She was searching for those eyes since one week. It had been a long wait though. Vindhya was an introvert, shy, pretty young lady. She dressed up in a traditional style with Kurti and salwar with nicely braided long hair. She had a finance masters in hand and was working as an Analyst in a financial services firm. Her co workers liked her not only because of the way she looked but also the way she spoke, behaved and her whole nature. She was a quick learner and efficient at work. Ameesh was a Debt market dealer in the same company. He was a reserved person and never mixed with people around. He had a fixed set of 3-4 friends whom he used to hang out with. It had been six months. Vindhya and Ameesh were a
