  • One life, many lives

    In the movie Holiday, two not-so-young independent working women swap homes for a week and experience each other’s life across the Atlantic.

    Sometimes all we need are experiences like this which we can experience by all our senses. To value what we got, reinforce what tests us and reconcile with the choices we made.

    Now that was movie so the protagonists walk into the love of their lives and all ends well. Fast forward to reality, not necessarily every such experience would be as rosy. But if we could imbibe even one percent from every such interaction, we could very well enrich our own life by the many lives!

  • Learning & Knowledge

    Read a book and you learn. Live through an experience and you gain knowledge.

    Both go hand in hand as an individual grows and shapes up in life. Neither is superior to the other, nor can one suffice what other imparts. Without learning and individual is at loss of understanding the fundamentals. Without knowledge an individual is not worldly wise.

    Vashisth imparted learning to Ram while Vishwamitra gave opportunities to face the reality of the world. Can you imagine Ram being the मर्यादा पुरुष, the best of men without either?
