Shiva @innertalks Some think we are in a dream world to wake up to eternal reality of who we are. That we are able to dream for years in that case (under god’s hypnosis) is something to think about in that case! It can also turn out that our dreams go overboard-...

Shiva @innertalks Yes, in our lives. we move from point A to B to C and then start all over again in perpetuity till we drop dead otherwise. We clutch at straws for physical survival without the connection that ensures fulfilment.

Shiva @innertalks Our creator is always with us. It is up to us be ever aware of this fact so that we do his bidding by listening to our inner knowing.

Shiva @innertalks Yes, we should react to circumstances that can change out of the blue catching us napping. Life takes twists and turns that test our mettle.

Shiva @innertalks Yes. We will know how healthy and upbeat the future is right after a seed sprouts. Soon it is “the stage is all ours”. We can make or break our lives.

Shiva @innertalks I will never take what your brother said as an offence. I just let my light shine amid the darkness and move on. Some people read between the lines all the time and their negativity can be sickening. I recall the idiom "scratch the surface and we...

Shiva @innertalks I had shared this earlier. My CEO once lost it and blurted out "you always pretend to be a gentleman". I replied politely " I would like to take it as a compliment". After that I redoubled my efforts to be more than a gentleman!

Shiva @innertalks That reminds me of a conversation with my friend. I told him there seemed to majority Indians in that complex. He replied, no but they were more visible (and audible!). It is not easy to defend a discrimination charge - what one meant may not be...

Shiva @innertalks It is becoming difficult for the "old-fashioned" polite folks to react to such rudeness. And going with that the political correctness where even well intentioned words can be misconstrued and soon it is time for damage control without creating...

Shiva @innertalks Thanks Steve. We are tested and tempted to stray away from love but when we are steadfast with love as the guiding factor, we are well on our way to a meaningful, purposeful, and fulfilling life.

Shiva @innertalks It boils down to some are above the law - too big to be taken to task. The rest are kicked around with a guilty tag around their necks and they keep wondering whether they have any voice or say to right the blatant wrong doings.
