Another dissatisfied soul......

Sometimes I feel today’s work culture erodes the family culture in a way.

An ambition for which diligent work has to be done somehow leaves mortal people who are part of your life in the back burner.

Like you are working towards something you feel will make your life secure and perfect yet loosing track of the purpose for which you were creating a secure world.

So where are we heading. Is there a solution for this thing?

Can’t we balance out things, remain ambitious yet be less greedy rather than dredging the same old loop of aspiring, achieving and dissatisfaction with the achievements.

O Henry


William Sydney Porter better known as O. Henry, has got some of the most amazing literary works credited to his name.

Right now I am reading his selected collection of short stories; around 51 short stories are there in all.

He has written about 400 short stories in his lifetime.

His each and every story is characterized by twist endings.

When you start a story you will be like what where is it heading, there is something that author is trying to say and sure enough at the end you come to know the essence of each character.

Each setting is different from one another; the characters are refreshingly simple yet have a meaningful existence in terms of the message that the author is trying to convey.

You can always be assured of a typical “O Henry ending”.

It will always be playful and optimistic making you smile at how a simple story can make such a profound impression on you.

Every character has been inspired by every day people and for each setting a section of the society has been chosen and has been wittingly described.

Wit that’s the 1st thing that hits you when you read his works, witty is the one word that’s present in abundance in his every work.

If any one can get a hold on any of his works then please do read it.

You will love it.

No body can escape the charm of his witty, playful, optimistic, simple and graceful style of writing.

Back with another set of thoughts….

Things taken for granted make sure they haunt us back in the form of longing….

A look that made you smile every day may not be there when you think you have it….

Dreaming is fair enough if coupled with some hard work….

Happiness does have a knack of coming up knocking your way when we are about to loose all hope…..

Solution is there for every apparently unsolvable problem……

Lazing around is the best way to skirt important work to be done….

Boredom is the best indication of how useless your routine has become….

Best way to tackle uselessness is to make you yourself useful in some way or the other….

Setting high goals does prepare one with satisfactory results….

No one is born with knowledge it can be garnered whenever you feel doing so….

It’s your business to find your strength at most you can find a guide for this purpose…

Excellent times have to be cherished because they sure not going to repeat that often…..

Period of lull to be looked upon with optimism for future and not with despair of the present……
