People’s needs are so few, but their wants are so large. Very few even know the difference between the two. Aab looks around and sees people struggling to have their Wants met. He sees so many who are so fortunate that they never had to strive to fulfill their needs. …

The Quiet Power of Words

Aab was reading Shakespeare. Not that he is a literary type, but once in a while he does make an attempt to read and comprehend the creative works of Wordsmiths who pick up simple lifeless alphabets, squeeze them together into intriguing words, and like a Sutradhar, thread the words into…

The Morning the Trees Disappeared

Two tall coconut trees, swaying lazily in the breeze. The sound of rustling leaves and the chirping of birds. Aab would open his eyes in the morning and see squirrels jumping nonchalantly from one tree to another. At first his eyes would open wide in fear, wondering whether the little…

Where Time Stands Still and Memories Walk

Aab does not feel a generation gap with people much younger than him. He has lived with so many generations that age and time no longer have any meaning to him. He knows that the old has to give way to the new, the elders will beget and then bequeath…

Echoes Beyond the Shore

Aab knows he cannot keep wandering endlessly. Even a river finds its end on the shores of the sea. But unlike the river, no human knows when the flow of his life will empty out his soul to the ocean of the universe. Aab can hear the roar of the…

Where Is the Common Man?

Aab does not believe in the stereotype that the rich oppress the poor, the strong suppress the weak, and those in power take advantage of the common man. In fact, in all his traveling and exploring of humans, Aab is yet to find a “Common” Man. The beauty of creation…

Aab and the Illusion of Power

Aab is amazed how seriously people take themselves, their position and their work. People occupying seats of authority, passing orders, taking vital decisions that move millions of rupees on one signature. People whose presence makes their subordinates snap to attention, and people whose office tables are often bigger than the…

Through the Eyes of a Child

Aab has many lazy afternoons. On summer days the outdoors, particularly under a huge tree, offers the freshness of a soft lilting breeze that touches the drops of sweat on his skin and gives a chill which no air conditioner ever can. But the wind comes at its own will,…

Managing Anger (not suppressing)

If you lose your temper,don’t try to find it. All strong emotions need outlets, particularly anger, because it is the most destructive emotion. It stems from unfulfilled desire (rooted in fear, helplessness), and often rational thinking is lost. Too much anger can lead to a personality disorder; whereas frivolous anger…
