A white shirt is a common clothing of our modern society. Men, in particular, wear it as an undergarment. Others print or paint them with designs they wanted. Some people prefer wearing plain white shirts – no elaborate designs, no brand names printed loud. So no points of comparison with other shirts, except when it […]
Read more "The White Shirt"School days are the most fun-filled days for learning new things. But for most students these days could also be the fiercest days. There are bullies and rivalries and there are races to become topnotchers and dean’s listers. Students compare everything from their pencil cases to school grades. The Darwinian principle of “survival of the […]

Read more "The Restroom"Dancing is among the things I enjoy doing. As early as 12, I learned some basic steps of ballroom dances like swing and cha-cha-cha, not only from our physical education classes but also by merely watching dancers on TV.

They may always mean money, either being broke or penniless. Or problems about relationships, trouble of getting along with parents, in-laws, spouses, children, bosses, or neighbors. They […]
Read more "Love: Problems and Perspectives"We see our elders, teachers, leaders, and experts as providers of knowledge. I agree, at least in the role they have played in our lives.

Read more "On Knowing God"What do we attribute to Love? It often ignites fireworks of emotions, bursting into colors inside us, appearing fast and disappearing in no time. Emotions are inherent in every being across all cultures and geographies, traverse the imaginary boundaries of nations, and do not recognize differences of races and languages. Through them, Love speaks its […]
Read more "At One With Love"As kids we used to fantasize seeing God. We did it in many ways, like having an imaginary friend. We talked to God and smiled at him and imagine that he was just around. It seems a childish thing to do in our grown-up years, and this is why only a few of us continue […]
Read more "On Finding God"I met some of my Christian friends about 6 years ago, and my meeting with them was a milestone in my spiritual journey. In their language, I understood how one becomes a good Christian and how one lives the teachings of Jesus Christ. I deeply appreciate their presence and effort in creating a community of […]
