The incident happened yesterday when I was travelling from Gurgaon to Noida. So I had to change my route at Rajeev Chowk. As I am new in the city I was not much aware of the platforms and the other fixtures. So I started looking for the route map which can help me reach Noida. In the midst of my search I hear a voice , "Han beta pucho (yes son , ask )". I thought it wasn't...

There are tremendous of things in life which fill the life full of happiness but we lack to realise them like God, smile, fun, family, friends, love, learning, passion, charity etc etc. God- God is the most important part of our life without him we are incomplete. Wherever you go, how much friends, love, money, family you have still you need God. Smile how much and as much as you can....

Turning Tragedy Into Inspiration

By Sharon Kim on May 19, 2016 / 5,918 views

I don't mean to be a debby downer, but I promise there's a happy ending to this story.. as well as a very good lesson! I'll try to keep it short since I know people have short attention spans on the internet these days. But basically I wanted to share my story of picking myself back up after hitting rock bottom. In 2014, my mom was diagnosed with cancer. Sounds like an all too common...

By Sunny Skyz on May 18, 2016 / 9,496 views

Some people are very lonely and a friendly conversation will literally make their day, even if it seems insignificant to you.  Here are some stories people shared about those little compliments that went a long way: "I worked in a restaurant for a number of years and every Wednesday a family would come in with their adult special needs son. On...

Losing And Gaining

By Sanchitkhera on May 16, 2016 / 2,298 views

Life is all about things that are lost and things gained. You lose your time, you gain sympathy, and you lose your senses. You enjoy things when you lose yourself, and you gain things when you’re lost deeply in something you love. Losing and gaining are simply two sides of a coin, and they go back and forth just like a pendulum. You can’t see, think about, or even image a world where there is only...

It's Good To Be Different!

By Gera Cortez on May 16, 2016 / 5,087 views

Monday? Most of the working bees would hate it! Well, I used to be one of them, but not anymore. Don't get me wrong! I am not that workaholic who have starry eyes when the thought of Monday pops out. I am so not that! NOT Now! Maybe in the future, but really not now! But still, I felt so happy this morning. Try to think of it, I usually hate mornings and still do, but today...

Mountain Bike Adventure

By Nour on May 16, 2016 / 3,158 views

My friend took me on a mountain bike adventure in the woods. I never biked on a fat bike or on a muddy trail. The bike was surprisingly light in weight but big in shape. I fell out of my bike seat when I tried to jump over a tree that was blocking the rail. But I laughed so hard, because I tried a new move and it was funny! We went down the Mississippi River, the view was indescribable,...

Hammering The Stee

By Gera Cortez on May 13, 2016 / 3,282 views

The air seems whispering something to me. I just can’t understand it. It is one of the moments in my life that I became nostalgic. I don’t want to say that time flew very fast as people say, because I know that it didn’t. It is just that I lose track of time because of an upside-down journey I just had. It feels like I am jetlagged. Well, it’s my first English column as far...

A Piece Of Paradise

By Mary Laumbach-Perez on May 12, 2016 / 4,272 views

Growing up, I tended to be a loner. I found nothing more satisfying on getting on my bike, cool breeze blowing in my hair. Riding my bike gave me sensations of freedom, true and unbridled freedom in those moments. My bike took me to places that I couldn't reach by foot. When I chose to escape, I found it in walking. I use to walk daily on a path through the woods of rural NJ. I had a favorite path. The...

An Awakening

By Karen R. on May 12, 2016 / 3,678 views

When I was diagnosed with Breast cancer a few years back, I reacted like most who receive a cancer diagnose; first thing came to mind was a “death sentence”. However, I found out later that it was truly “an awakening” for me; even after being diagnosed with colon cancer a few years later. I began questioning God, why would you do this to me? What had I done so bad in life to have this...

Shoe Boxes Of My Mind

By Joseph J. Mazzella on May 11, 2016 / 3,999 views

I was looking through some of the shoe boxes of my mind today. Those are the places where I store all of the wonderful moments of learning and loving that I have had in this life. One such memory is of a simple picture drawn for me by a 5th grade student when I was a very young substitute teacher. I lost the real picture in one of the several moves I have made over the years, but the picture is still there in...

I'm So Proud Of My Son!!

By Proud Dad on May 10, 2016 / 3,290 views

I wanted to share it here! My son is four and is a hyper kid. We are learning techniques as a family about how to channel his energy into something productive, but it's a slow and steady process. Today we went to the park. There was another boy there about a few months older than my son, but pretty overweight. His mom was there and she was a bit protective, however it didn't come...

Family

By Sonia Kaur on May 09, 2016 / 4,315 views

Why God has given us a family? Because we need each other. Just imagine a person without family, all alone. How long will he survive? A new born baby needs his mother. Growing children needs parents. Oldage people need their youngsters. The Importance of family I realised when I went to an orphanage. I realised that children are surrounded with very nice nuns and care taker but still the love and...

Listening To Mom Sing

By Joseph J. Mazzella on May 05, 2016 / 5,046 views

When I was a teenager I used to take long walks in the woods behind our home. I found it a great way to clear my head, a good way to calm my spirit, and a wonderful way to connect to something greater than myself. I cherished the peace that it gave me. As I was walking back to our house one day, I heard something that gave me even more peace than my stroll through the forest had. A window of our...

Why It's OK To Be Average

By Gregory on May 05, 2016 / 4,726 views

A bird can just be a bird. When the sun rises it isn't accompanied by a feeling of dread. It's daily tasks are solely comprised of being a bird and being a bird still. Humans are a problem. There's no place for us. I cant just go out into the woods and be a human. But then again, I have a taste of the finer things and I'm an enlightened person that doesn't care to live in the...

I Just Risked Everything

By Mike Baker on May 04, 2016 / 4,760 views

I’m a 26 year-old fitness professional. I just risked everything. I came into this industry as a young, hungry 21-year old. Growing up, I was never the hardest worker or the most motivated guy in the world. When I started working, all of that changed. I had a spark. I was doing something I loved and felt like I finally had a purpose. I felt like I had making up to do. I took on every client,...

Impatient Decision Will Always Pinch

By Suresh Ganatra on May 02, 2016 / 4,376 views

Some time ago, when the ice-creams were not so expensive, a ten-year boy went to Nirula’s ice-cream shop. While sitting at the table, he asked the waiter "How much does a Sundae cost?" "Rs. 40" he replied. The boy took out his money from the pocket and began counting it. "Well how much does a simple ice-cream cost?" There were other people waiting to be...
