Zoom The World !!

It isn't often that I let you know how grateful I am to have you in my life. Just because I don't always say it, doesn't mean I don't think about it, because I do all the time. When we were little, I used to tell you that I wanted "to throw you in the garbage" when you annoyed me, and now I can't imagine ever wanting you out of my life. Time after time you have done countless things to annoy me, things that drive me off the wall, but you fight daily to protect and love me. Other than a parents love, I feel that there is no greater bond in love than there is between siblings. A lot of the things you have done for me goes unnoticed and at times i'm sure you have felt unappreciated by the gestures because of my lack of gratitude. We all tend to take the smallest things for granted, especially those we love. Because I know I haven't told you lately, here is the thank you letter that all brothers deserve every once in a blue moon. I want to first o...

Most everyone in today’s world wants a partner who is loyal; someone who is committed. But what does being loyal mean and why is it so important? Well, first of all, let me tell you that being loyal isn’t just about being able to resist sleeping around with other people besides your partner. Loyalty is about being reliable and trustworthy. Its about being faithful and true. Why Is Loyalty Important? Well, if we’re talking about romantic relationships, it’s all about being able to trust your partner even when you’re not around for days, because you know that they don’t want to deceive you. They are loyal. You want someone with whom you can talk for hours without them thinking about someone else because all of their attention is dedicated to you. Loyalty is also important in business as it is in friendships and marriage. If you have a loyal customer, you will give everything to satisfy him and keep him. That’s why all of us have our focus on loyal people in our lives. To make it m...

Millions go unnoticed like sand castles washed away at the beach, millions are attracted by the skyscrapers of Elphinstone, and millions are immortalized like the Elephanta-s. From Haji Ali to Siddhivinayak, from local trains to the Vada Pav, from the boulders of Bandstand to the sands of Juhu, from Mangeshkar to Tendulkar, from the Khans to the Bachchans, it is ‘Aamchi Mumbai’ all the way. From the trawlers’ struggle for fresh catch to the country’s top CEO-s’ meetings, India’s business capital doesn’t seem to sleep. With fruit juice at Rs. 5 a glass outside railway stations, to Rs. 200 a cappuccino at the Trident, life in Mumbai sails smooth with all its diversity. The night remains young from DJ jamming sessions to ek chaalis ki last local. It would sound very clichéd to call Mumbai the New York of India, but that is what describes this city of dreams the best. It depicts the place that is always up and about, a city with a spirit of gold and a determination to never say die, e...

Do you love your job? Not Really? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. According to recent studies, 48% of employees worldwide don’t even like their jobs, more than 80% of Indian workers feel stressed at the office, and only 30% feel “engaged and inspired” by their careers. These statistics sound depressing yet relate-able, don’t they? According to results from a 2012 Wakefield Research study, office employees are fed up with everything from participating in “optional” employee activities and having to listen to the office know-it-all to dealing with a snarky boss who thinks he’s hilarious. Here are the most common workplace frustrations psychologists have derived from numerous interviews and studies: Pesky Co-Workers Nothing is more irritating than having a co-worker who’s always whining about something. The constant complainer who would rather bash everyone’s ideas than come up with any of her own is a drain on everyone’s energy. In addition, listening to the know-it-all who won’t...

Dear Dad, I write to you not only as your daughter, but as one of many daughters who know the unique intricacies of the lessons only their fathers could teach them. I write to you because out of every helping hand I have received in this world, you receive the least amount of credit and praise for the things you do. You’ve always stood back and let me shine, only stepping in when I call for you knowing you can’t be more than a short distance away. It’s time I use these words to pull you and every other remarkable father into the light you so deserve to be seen in. It’s time that light radiates on the genuine and extraordinary love only you could have shown me. A father teaches his daughter many lessons about what it means to truly love and experience this life. One of the most critical understandings he can portray to the young eyes beaming up at him is the notion of how she should be treated. Dad, I remember everything. I remember being tucked in at night and kissed good-bye befo...

Some seasons in life are just more difficult than others. Period. Maybe it’s because of a project you’ve taken on, maybe you have lost a loved one , maybe you’re  worried about money  or you ended a relationship or maybe you’re in a relationship that is taking ton of your energy It’s inevitable. There’s no escaping it. Some seasons are just hard. But is it possible you are making things harder than they need to be—simply by having a bad attitude about it? Marianne Williamson says the key to transforming any situation is reframing it—looking at it from a different direction. If there are many ways to see a situation, are you looking at it from more than one direction? It’s like a kid on a roller coaster who closes his eyes and buries his head in his fear -crossed arms on parts that are most terrifying or most unexpected to him. His attempt to protect himself from the circumstance doesn’t actually save him. It just blocks his view. Lately I had ...

There is a definitive moment in a person’s life where they become acutely aware of the fact that they found their soul mate. I’m not talking about the person they’ll spend the rest of their days waking up to each morning. I’m talking about the awkward person you didn’t like that forced themselves on you in some year of college/school that changed your life forever. So, to that awkward person, my best friend: Thank you for being you and for letting me be me. Thank you for letting me feel so much like myself when I’m with you. Thank you for not making me wear any masks or put on any fronts. Thank you sharing in my happiest moments, and for genuinely feeling the same; for listening to my saddest stories and radiating compassion and empathy from wherever you are. Thank you for being the only person I ever want to confide in. Thank you for being the most beautiful person, inside and out. Thank you for making the world a better place, just by being in it. Thank you for makin...
