rakski @rakski (122335) • Philippines 5 Nov

Aparajita Bhattacharjee I don't get it. Was there any internal injury or tumor that the doctors couldn't diagnose? Was there any auto immune disease that was not disclosed to the parents? Stroke leading to cardiac failure at this age!!! Was there any problem in the brain tissues,...

Steve Marshall @innertalks (21905) • Australia 7 Nov

A Zen student went to his master one day, and asked him, "How do you remain peaceful, all of the time?" The master replied: "I say, 'no' to a life of questioning, and 'yes' to a life of answers from God." "Life...

Aparajita Bhattacharjee It requires willingness to experience peace. Willful suspension of ego to stop hoarding negative thoughts, worries etc. That again comes with Grace.

Upcoming Movie I am Excited About

April @thislittlepennyearns (62185) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 9 Oct

I was scrolling on YouTube after catching up with Good Mythical Morning and saw a trailer for a new Hugh Grant movie. It looked like a horror movie, and that made me happy. I've always liked Hugh Grant's humor and acting (although...

Action Movies

luisadannointed @luisadannointed (6155) • Philippines 2 Oct

Do you love romance over action movies? I love watching romantic comedy dramas and movies, but recently I chose the latter, specially those mystery drama (k-dramas). I think as we get older our taste really changing. I still love...

Aparajita Bhattacharjee I think I have always loved 'If I hadn't met you'. In the recent past I watched 'See you in my 19th Life'. While I appreciate unusual themes, I love imagination that gives love a spiritual streak. On the other hand action movies trigger the beast in me that...

Aparajita Bhattacharjee That's something that keeps me going with the thought 'Live every moment and live in happiness'. Every moment counts and the reminder is the alarm that I have set up mentally.

Quote of the Day: The backbone of surprise is fusing speed with secrecy..

Piyoz the Great @piyoz000 (432) • Philippines 6 Oct

As an introvert with an open-minded personality, I find this quote intriguing and thought-provoking. I may be slow most of the time, but it suggests that the element of surprise relies heavily on acting swiftly and keeping plans...

Aparajita Bhattacharjee Fusing speed with secrecy, is something that I associate with the mind and intellect. Intellect holds the reins of the mind's inuendoes. Things aren't as they seem they are. So keeping one's eyes and ears open, one must engage in tasks keeping time as a factor...

A funny thing

Fleur @Fleura (30352) • United Kingdom 7 Oct

A couple of days ago I woke early, just as it was getting light, and heard sounds of something blundering about outside. I could tell from the noises that they were bumping into the shovel I had left there, and pushing about the...

Walking in the woods

Pitstop @pitstop (13745) • Australia 3 Oct

The place we stayed in last weekend had a very 'sea' theme and this bookshelf was very interesting - shaped like a boat. It added a nice touch to the stay. Have you ever seen an interesting bookshelf that caught your attention...

I don't like watching modern movies.

ahmedibrahem @ahmedibrahe (62) 3 Oct

I don't like watching modern movies. These films contain scenes of violence, blood, murder, rape and many crime scenes. We do not find the meaning or purpose of these films that should be conveyed to the viewer. Unfortunately, we...

Aparajita Bhattacharjee Too much of gore and themes related to the flesh makes watching a waste of time. If I hadn't met you, Hereafter, The Lovely Bones, are movies worth watching. Recently I watched Gifted which made it a good watch on Netflix I myself am surprised I don't log in...

Aparajita Bhattacharjee So far as children are concerned, some kind of positive and negative reinforcement works. I resort to touch their hearts with stories, analogies, anecdotes, examples, quotes, instances from biographies of great men, videos on morals/ethics/values etc. With...

Aparajita Bhattacharjee I do at times. When weighing the pros and cons of a situation, if I had already told something but then with afterthought, re think it through. Often at times when I lose sight of perspective. Sometimes when I'm not listening because i have had chosen not to,...

Aparna Sen @Dreamerby (4798) • Calcutta, India 18 Dec

It is so difficult to put trust in somebody. Love is a risky business indeed. You never know what you will get out of it. Maybe that's why there is this emerging trend of situationships. People these days are so afraid of getting...

Kinda edgy topic

Aparna Sen @Dreamerby (4798) • Calcutta, India 13 Jul

Do you sometimes think of death? Like how you want to die and that sort of thing? Do you have any preferences? I know it sounds weird, feel weird but we all have to die someday. So it might be somewhat sane to have preferences....

Aparajita Bhattacharjee In a way that makes me feel that I am still living. In sleep. Death is welcome, but not a painful one. I always pray that let it come in a way where it just happens, not in a way I have to wait for it. But that requires the grace and mercy of the...

Traits

Aparna Sen @Dreamerby (4798) • Calcutta, India 28 Jul

Aparna Sen @Dreamerby (4798) • Calcutta, India 2 Aug
