They walk around showing their muscles and they ignore your call or answer after long time making excuses. They come across as busy all the time and people want to be around them always. They huff and they puff. They yell and they scream. They abuse you verbally, emotionally and physically. And they call themselves MEN. Continue reading

The Disease
We see it in the news, we read about it in newspapers or in social media feeds, we hear of it from people we know or don’t know; but we never think it could happen to us. We sympathize with those who get affected. We recognize that it is now more common than ever before. We know it’s possible that anyone can get diagnosed with any disease at any time in their life. But we still don’t grasp the idea Continue reading
Perseverance
We all know what it means to persevere. Our lives is the biggest example we will ever know. Seeing is believing. Experiencing is knowing. When you go after what you want until you get it; it’s the biggest accomplishment ever. What a feeling when you look at yourself in the mirror and know that you did it; you persevered. Continue reading
Endless Goodbyes
Inspired by personal losses and heartbreaking stories, I got to thinking one day, how our goodbyes don’t seem to end. As a matter of fact, they start in our early years as we just begin our lives. And we experience goodbyes constantly. It’s just that we only recognize Continue reading
The least you expect
The experiences of your life are so amazing; if you only let them. It is the ones you least expect that nurture you and help you grow. If nothing else, you may get a chuckle out of it when you remember one day the things you did and the moments you lived. Continue reading
Your memory lives on
It’s been a year since I have last seen you. I can’t believe it has been so long. Life may have went on without you. But your memory truly lives on. Continue reading
Difference in Parenthood
Let me start my saying, I have yet to be a parent for a child of my own. However, I had the privilege of being a mother figure to a few children who entered my life. Some I was more hands on than others. The experience taught me, opened my eyes and gave me a better understanding. In addition, I studied Continue reading
Conditioning
How do we comprehend the term conditioning? I am talking about behavioral conditioning. There were several theories and experiments done by some of the most famous philosophers and thinkers. Edward Thorndike and Pavlov to name the few. Their work and research has influenced our educational curriculum and disciplinary guidelines. Conditioning has become Continue reading
A Friendship message
This is my personal message to all my friendships. Please feel free to share my article or copy the link; whatever you like to do if this message has something you always wanted to say but couldn’t put it into words. A lot of times, we have so much we want to say, but can’t express it. And many times we are scared to say what we really want to say because we don’t want to lose the people we love. But isn’t it worse to lose them if you don’t say what really needs to be said? Continue reading

I miss you
I miss my best friend, I miss my soul mate. I miss the one person whom I have always been able to run to when things get crazy. I miss the one person that understood me with one look. I miss our unique style of communication. I miss that peaceful feeling I get when I am so close to your heart. Yes, I miss you dearly. Continue reading
Fall
‘Tis the season of fall, as I drive around I am mesmerized by the gorgeous colours of trees on the road. Each one has its beauty. The different colours all matching together. They are all in harmony. Each tree is there at the perfect place and is the perfect colour. Whether it’s fading out the green into a yellow-green, or if it is this golden yellow colour all on its own or a mix of yellow and orange in the same tree or just a bright orange or a full red tree. Continue reading
Driving
Ever notice the similarities between driving and life itself. Ever get into a zone where you observe every move like it’s a movie and as it is playing out, you see yourself as the car you are driving. Well, I have. I have seen it several times. I have connected with the vehicle I was driving so much that I felt this was Me living my life and everything that comes my way are the exact same thing. Continue reading
We are changing
Time passes; You grow older and the people in your life do too. But we don’t realize it until their behaviour changes. It may start with the oldest generation you are in contact with; your grandparents for instance. Then you notice your own parents are getting older and changing in many ways. All of a sudden you look around and it seems that everybody had gotten older; even yourself. But where were you Continue reading
Divided Attention
We all have things in our lives that we focus on more than others. And naturally so. You could be after accomplishing a goal or after the person of your dreams or after obtaining the best the world has to offer. And while it’s totally fine that you pursue your dreams and go after your goals, don’t loose sight of what’s truly important in your life; what you do have. Don’t allow your attention to get so divided that you can’t seem to appreciate the little things, the present moment and the current people in your life, for the bigger things, the future and the people you wish to have in your life.
