Give Me Hope

When the times are down, the only folks who give you hope are the ones who love you for yourself.  They do not overtly apply their minds into wondering what other people think of them, nor do they worry about what their greed, ego and avarice would want them to do.  They just have acceptance...

Bravery and Cowardice

There are some fruits in my garden that defy logic.  There is the Baniya Banana, now this one is famous, because it gives you  a slippery tongue plus is a great stomach leveller, if had in moderation.  When I used to drink, there were some great cocktails that were made of it. ...

I met somebody yesterday.  Or should I say that I have been talking to this person on YM for a while now, but only yesterday I realised who this person was, what she believed in and what values she held precious.  Strange isn't it, that we can we can live our entire life with somebody without knowing who they really are, as a matter of fact we could live in a delusion about ourselves. ...

The Art of Happiness

I think I have mentioned in this blog before that I am a morning person and get up normally in a happy disposition.  The growth rate is down, the economy has taken a beating, the job market is about but on its knees and the manufacturing sector hasn't fared too well either.  Yet every morning I wake up happy and blissful, continue to my journey of fighting life everyday and return home...
