Imagine two people are friends together at primary school and then secondary school. During those years they have the same interests. Then in their thirties they meet up again and find that have very different backgrounds and...

jshekhar I absolutely love to make friends with someone with different interest, may be a different country. It gives me a chance to exchange the thoughts, the cultural inputs and a do things that I wouldn't normally do with someone with similar interest.

jshekhar Hello Julyteen, I have been here for around the same period. What I find the most interesting part is that there have been occasions when I have not even logged in for about 6 months but still when I come back, I am happy to be here. I hope this association...

jshekhar We are always complaining about how biased the society is towards the masculine gender. However, I would suggest you to stop taking it all upon yourself. I mean, what good would money bring if your health deteriorates in earning it and you are not able to...

jshekhar Here in India, those who have access to the internet and e-banking prefer it for booking train/flight tickets, as well as accommodation when planning a vacation. It is easier that way. The airport is really at the outskirts of the city so its impractical to go...

jshekhar Its true that he cheated and there should not be any place for a cheater in any sport, anywhere. However, the time during which he cheated was the time when everyone in cycling was cheating. So in a way, everyone was on a level playing field, isn't it?

jshekhar Most of us have this conscience inside us, which we want to keep really clean. We just can't live with the kind of guilt that comes with false fame. It is like a burden on our soul, which can be released only by confessing. It's good that he admitted...

jshekhar It is all down to one's belief. If this thing gets stuck in my mind that the good things happening to me are caused by a particular thing, I will go crazy trying to protect it.

I often see people walking down the road. I would love to be able to give someone a ride. But with the times we are living in it's just not safe to pull over and ask someone if they need a ride. It's sad to think about those...

jshekhar Ideally we should never even ask this question and offer a ride to people walking down the street. But, as you mentioned, given the time we are living in, we simply cannot trust someone like that. I've made a rule for myself, never to give a ride to a...

jshekhar Given a choice, I would love to have a dog as well. However, we need to consider a host of things before going for it, such as the tidiness of the house, the small kids in the house and needless to say, you need to think of the time when you will be gone on a...

A big deal here is the fall of Lance Armstrong, the bike racer. For me I can feel sorrow that he broke the rules, abused people and just used his ability in an unfair way. OR, I can see this person as another human, who is living...
