My Brother died last Monday morning after a brief ugly fight with Cancer. He was born in 1952. My little sister was born 3 years later but fell ill and died in July 1956. She wasn’t even a year old yet. My eldest living sister was born a month later…

Love Your Enemies | #MyFridayStory №294

You can tip-toe around what it will take to make the world a better place, but it eventually comes down to one basic idea. To love everyone, including yourself and God… but there’s a kicker: You must also love your enemies. The minute we have “them and us” groups, we…

The Problem with “Toughen Up!” | #MyFridayStory №288

Losing Everything | #MyFridayStory №304

Being protective of cherished possessions isn’t just for those who are sentimental. Losing something precious is never easy for anyone. The things we hold dear are valuable to us, no matter their price tag. Their worth often can’t be measured; it’s simply priceless. My dad had a deep love for…

Über Alles | #MyFridayStory №303

Never waste the privilege of a captive audience. I’ve been using the Uber car e-hailing service for a few weeks to travel to work and back. Every morning and late afternoon, I get to travel with a new stranger for half an hour and talk. That’s an hour a day…

Karma is Such a Bitch! | #MyFridayStory №300

“Karma doesn’t need any witness or evidence to do the justice.” ~ Amit Kalantri What you sow, so shall you reap. Payback is a bitch. There’s a universal understanding that people should pay for their mistakes. Some form of punishment needs to be doled out on the perpetrator of the…

The Finer Things in Life | #MyFridayStory №299

As the sun slides behind the ocean horizon, the owner of the sleek three-decked super-yacht orders the captain to drop anchor.
