Greetings! As i was remembering my teacher from High School- one of his teachings in geometry sprung up suddenly and fit itself in the analogy for life. So what is life? The life is a triangle tangle. Life contains many triangles, the love triangle, the equality (equilateral) triangle, the right (as well as wrong) angled triangle and to top it off the trinity (Father Son & Holy Ghost / Brahma, Vishnu & Mahesh) triangle. Each incident that happens in our life cajoles, pushes, begs, shakes us up to make us think - 'how does it make sense?' As a hypothesis, in terms of geometry-of-life, lets say this translates to 'this will make sense - when i find such a pair of the 2 sides (another possibility) of this triangle (incident) whose sum is less than the third side (the side which i traversed just now as part of the incident).. Too heavy? Ok. Here is a step-by-step version. Problem in Geometry: Find the 2 sides of a triangle, whose sum is less than (short...

Greetings! Here are some thoughts on what they meant by ' forgive and forget ' when they started saying it. (And why it is better than 'give and get' and of course 'get and give' or 'get and get' .......) For-give = Give 'before' you get Means: Give love, compassion, trust etc before getting back (or irrespective of not getting) any love,compassion, trust in return.

It is very very simple, but for our bloated egos that we have to carry on our heads. Here is a recent conversation with a Rikshawallah ( RW ) which made me think. Let...
