Playbook of a Wandering Mind

I must admit this one topic even had me mesmerized. The Reason was for few months I had heard oil prices falling constantly(it fell from 110$ to 40$ per barrel) & now suddenly the rise. To understand why this is happening the first step will be to understand why the prices fell in the first place. So let's begin... Many people write off the oil price fluctuations to Dollar fluctuations, that used to be the case earlier. Now however, the scenario has changed. A lot of other things have come into play & I would rather say dollar fluctuations now play a negligible role in oil prices fluctuations. Oil prices depend on 2 factors : Expectations & Demand-Supply play. 1.Demand-Supply play:  First let's analyze demand-supply play because that is the main factor in this falling prices. Previously, US used to import oil from UAE, Iraq & Iran. But recently, US started producing oil itself & stopped importing oil from these countries which led to additional s...

This is an attempt to put in words what I saw. We all have since childhood heard about flowers & how these flowers spread their scent & make the world beautiful. During my recent visit to a beautiful garden in my dreams. Nah I will not directly name the things I saw, I'll just describe what I saw lets see if u can figure it out. There was lot of soothing music playing around. Sounds of water waves, water falling on suface with a force. There was a stream of water falling from a height. The sound was so soothing that it really relaxed the nerves. The coolth hitting the feet which was feeling like a foot massage. The cool seat where i was seated on a smooth land of green carpet feel below. The mother nature seemed her full glory, a real beautiful sight was in front of my eyes. Then suddenly in the corner was the most delightful sight anyone can look at. Lets see what was that. In the middle of green carpet was a heighted green slim stick standing with arrogance with a r...

Kamna is a sanskrit word which means desire in english. Desire can be of anything. Desire can be materialistic, can be of change, can be of pleasures. This word though a strong one has a lot of resonance in all the people's lives. All & sundry in this world have one or the other desire. Many a times people fulfill their desires many a times they don't. One such desire I harboured in my heart from a long time was of making a difference in lives of others. That desire of mine somehow seemed a lot fulfilling & enriching than other routine things in life. But I used to curb it, maybe because of my perception about me being not capable enough for it. But as famously said 'Life does not come with a Map' some events happened i.e. I started a course named General Management Skills Course out of compulsion & with a lot of apprehensions, there I met new people & one of them bought this initiative to my notice. I then added the coveted CA prefix to my name ...

The abovementioned line clearly geneartes a sense of happiness in our minds. It is most certainly a hypothetical world wherein such a possiblity will even arise. However many times I have observed that living in a hypothetical world is better than living in the real world considering the chaos real world has. But that should not be always. So guys today lets think of a world where the line mentioned above will hold true. In a world where only love would prevail would be a delight to say the least. In true sense love in any form would be the medium of exchange. Love has a lot of forms which it can take. It includes care, concern which are intagibles & hugs etc which are tangibles. If love would have been the commodity price then care would be the language of people. All would care for one another. No violence at home, workplaces etc. No disrespect of women in any place. The economic GDP then would be measured in trillions of hugs. So fantastic would be the world that even The Almi...

Going by the title, you will expect that this is something about some particular girl. But no, its more about a social issue. I started to write about this when i came accross a short movie directed by Mr. Anurag Kashyap titled "That Day after Everyday". Though it had been on my mind since a long time. So starting with the topic. Lets first trace a journey of a girl right from her existence to death. When a girl is conceived: When the existence of a girl child is confirmed by medical processes in the womb of a woman. This stage is where it starts getting dangerous, because till this stage its unclear. This stage is where people may conduct female foeticide or may abort the baby. Next stage is when the girl child is born. At this stage there maybe chances that the girl child will be killed by various ways or means. Next is when the girl gets married. Due to the parallel existence of dowry system in India, there maybe chances where a girl maybe killed, or some who can bear a...

Moving a little bit away from philosophy, I am posting on current topics. This being my first post, I really hope that you like it. So the name Sachin Tendulkar as and when is heard evokes a thousand emotions. This name founds resonance with a large demography of persons over the world. Based on his achievements its is said that the cricketing era is divided into three periods namely Before Sachin(BS), Sachin(S), and now After Sachin(AS). His retirement was thoroughly dramatic which resulted in a nationwide "Sachinnn Sachinnn" frenzy. But now when the dust has settled down lets analyze what was it that he had done & also his grey areas. Though many people have different views about what Sachin has done. But according to me(also other people will agree) there are following ways in which he has made a tremendous impact on us: 1. He made us believe in real life superheroes: We started to have a belief that superheroes are real who walk in daylight & keep people in awe...

Life can be defined as any quality which distinguishes a functional being from the dead as per what is said in the dictionary. So even the dictionary cannot just explain what life is. Tricky one even for a dictionary. Many people say life is pain, life is struggle etc. But I feel life is life & is meant to be lived. People also say life is a burden, though its not, this is their pessimism. Problems do exist in a persons life but who in this world is free of problems. Each one has his own problems. So basically even after reading a lot we are stuck at this question of what is life & what is it all about? Well, I guess life has many aspects/phases & it cannot be expressed in a single word. Life is defined by how u live through it. So does life depend on the way we live it? Well, I would say yes. Life is how you live it, how you accept it, how you want it to be. People feel troubled because they fail to understand this. Life is what you want it to be alongwith abet from the A...
