Some random thoughts

Life can be simply classified into internal and external part. Internal life is all about our ideas and thoughts, which in a broader sense decide our personality/outlook. Clear thoughts give a clear perspective and somehow make life simpler, complex thoughts lead to a confused personality. On the other hand, external life is what we carry in the world; in front of friends, relatives, neighbors, etc. This external life is mainly dependent on our words/actions. If we say good words, speak politely and our actions are socially correct, we will be considered as a nice human being. But if this doesn't happen, our words/actions/behavior is different then we are called as rude/shrewd/off spoken/ill-mannered/abusive. One can always watch his thoughts for maintaining his outlook, and good deeds can always fetch you good name in society.

An Unknown Face

"Oh... Definitely, I have seen him somewhere" - she said. But her memory is not helping. In the last few days, she has spotted him a few times.

"Why am I thinking this way, and why that guy?" She is a rational and logical person. There are hundreds of people one meet, some frequently, some occasionally and few rarely. None have left this kind of impression. "Who is this guy? What's the r...

Gumption- a must have to handle life situations. Do you have it in you?

Gumption- It's really a unique word, and a fascinating one too. The word really impressed me. I heard it recently in the movie 'The Holiday', where an elder character suggested the protagonist to have gumption to live a good life. The origin of this word has been mentioned to be of early 18th century (originally Scots). The dictionary meaning of gumption is "shrewd or spirited initiative and resourcefulness". Some of the synonyms which helps to understand the meaning are "initiative, resourcefulness, ingenuity, inventiveness, cleverness, shrewdness, acumen". Another meaning or definition which I personally like is "the ability to decide what is the best thing to do in a particular situation, and to do it with energy and determination". In other words "the strong will and determination to do something". Many a time, in your life, gumption acts as a prerequisite to handle or face a situation, but not everyone is lucky to have it.
