Tea Break With Life

"Only a Life lived in service of other is worth living " - Albert Einstein The 20th century , an era today's tech savvy youth remembers for the history books they hated or the boring lectures they attended ! During that very age thousands of men and women across all age groups had given themselves into a struggle , they left behind everything they had and risked their lives for a dream that they had seen .We don't remember many of them today but even after knowing that their fate might be that of a forgotten warrior they kept going because they had a dream of a free and independent India , and a tricolour in their mind . Whenever need for political consciousness or social activism is brought up, the answer we get from most people is that they are too busy perusing their personal dreams! My only answer is that a 23 year old young man who would have had personal dreams was hanged to death for his fight for independence, and to the shock of the officials inste...

Welcome back to Tea break with Life !     Greetings :) Earth is a  magical land of beauty, love and happiness, Sadly  today all we see is darkness and dark things happening , Why ? Should't this be changed back to what it actually must be ? Well the change begins from YOU !     Today everyone welcomes change in science , technology etc but why can't we work for a change that will make a better world for everyone ? We have reached a point where we can't believe people like Mahatma  Gandhi or Mother Teresa existed ! That is maybe because We can never think of doing what they did !!!!  Leo Tolstoy once famously said "Everyone thinks of changing the world but no one thinks of changing himself ".  Over time I feel the situation has changed into being " Nobody believes change is possible due to failure in changing oneself". Yes this week I wish to have a discussion on Changing the world and changing ourselves as I tr...

Welcome once again to Tea Break with life and this week its not a blog but a story ..... This is a retelling of my older story Discovering life in a broader sense .... and in a wider way .... All feedback are welcome..... It is a satirical fantasy drama trying to connect with our world and its problems ...                                                     The Journey of Reawakening Its a bright sunny day at the garden here and its been a very long and hot summer! At the gates of the garden we see a young and tall guy with slicked back hair and a one shouldered bag hanging on his right shoulder . He is Dhruva Raghav, born in an upper middle class family and a person who believes he has nothing to do with rest of the world and is in his pursuit of self actualization or getting to his great ambitions! At this very moment he has no idea th...

On the eve of the 71st Independence day and our country turning 70 what better topic do I have than "India, The land of Wisdom and peace". Welcome to my 2nd blog and really thankful that you took your time off to read this :)) Welcome again! When we hear "India" different things come to the mind of different people , from a tiranga to gandhi to unity in diversity to taj mahal ! Now the question is what actually is India? Now this answer will differ for every Individual but I wish to share mine and I welcome your feedback and would love to hear your answers too . For me India can be defined and loved in two ways for what it once was or for what we are. Now the major conflict in this question comes when these 2 ideas clash but the truth is every Indian can be proud of both these aspects. What I mean is the old cultural heritage of India which gave  knowledge and wisdom to the world and the India we built from 1947 , the world's largest democracy wi...

Hello dear friends and welcome to this new adventure I am beginning today with the start of my blog on life and everything related to it. Now the whole idea of this blog has been with me for some time now but I was quite reluctant to start this as I did't want to express my ideas and view on life in an open forum , but today I feel the time has come for me to begin this new journey with all of you exploring life and it's meaning and enjoying the magic that life is all about !  People who have read the story I had published sometime back (ie  Discovering life (click here to read)  will have a rough idea of life I am trying to convey.  All sorts of critics and feedback are welcome and will be looking forward to support from all .  "Your life is a chapter in the saga of lives which make this world ... Now decide what story you wish to tell "  There will be blogs published each week or in 2 weeks on various topics... First blog on the topic "Life,...
