Article #55: The Role Of A Mentor

A mentor is someone who guides the other person in any field. At some point or the other, every one of us need someone’s assistance in a particular aspect or aspects. Do you agree? Now don’t tell me that we can Google everything these days, then I would say Google is your mentor.  Well, This Article is about the role of mentors in our lives. As a kid, we never know most of the things, right? But we were given the constant guidance from our parents in many things irrespective of small or big, starting from speaking in a language to choosing a career. Then, we were guided by our Teachers in their respective subjects. Sometimes, we would have chosen our friends who have an expertise in a particular area for suggestions.  So, what are all these people called? More or less, the mentors. The job could be related to anything, personal, professional, career or something general, but ultimately if someone guides you in a proper direction, they are your mentors.  Well, there could ...

Article #54: The New Blue Dress

'The New Blue Dress', seems to be a known title. Isn’t it? Well, just to make sure that you don’t end up with a wrong guess, let me give you a hint. It’s one of the lessons that we studied when we were in the school. Hope now you are able to recall on when did we study.

Article #53: Superstitions

Haachi.. Wait a moment, wondering why? Because I sneezed.  Do you believe this superstition? But why? Because elders usually say that once after you sneeze you shouldn’t start anything. Otherwise, something bad would happen.   Hold on, did you ever try to start something even after you sneeze? How was your experience?  The reason I am asking is because I never tried that way as I believe this so-called Superstition.  In this Article, let’s find out what these superstitions are and where did these come from?

A black cat crossing the road symbolizes bad luck  4. A crow cawing indicates that guests are arriv...

Article #52: Memories

“ Yaadein  mithai  ke   dibbe   ki   tarah   hoti   hain …Ek  baar   khula ,  toh   sirf   ek   tukda   nahi  kha  paoge ”   One of the best dialogues from a Bollywood movie. Yes, that’s true, memories are like a box full of sweets. Once you open, you can’t just have a single bite.   Technically speaking, Memory is information or data that is encoded, stored and retrieved when needed.   But if you ask me, I cannot come up with a definition. Instead, I would go back into some of the beautiful life moments that remained as Memories  now.    Waking up early on a Sunday morning just to play with the neighboring kids, writing on a wall with piece of chalk considering it as a blackboard, becoming a leader in the school, standing as one of the toppers in the class are some of the childhood memories.      Falling in love for the first time even without realizing the fact ...
