The Splash of Wisdom

There comes a point in life when you realize that no matter how much you give your time, patience, care, or support it never feels enough. You offer your voice, your silence, your help, and your presence. And yet, it doesn’t fix the situation, it doesn’t change the other person, and it doesn’t leave you fulfilled either. The Bhagavad Gita doesn’t ask us to stop caring it asks us to awaken. It reminds us that some desires are endless by design: the more you feed them, the more they grow. When your worth becomes tied to how useful or available you are, you unknowingly lose yourself in the name of goodness. What the Gita Teaches About True Giving Act without attachment to results: Krishna’s words to Arjuna are timeless you have the right to action, but not to the fruits of action. This doesn’t mean becoming robotic but choosing what is right over what is pleasing. Real selflessness comes without the need for validation. Boundaries are clarity, not selfishness: Saying “no” doesn’t make you...

Why the Youth Must Rethink the Noise Around Marriage, Masculinity, and Modern Liberation When the pendulum swings too far in one direction, even balance begins to look like injustice.  — Rollo May, Existential Psychologist Marriage in India has always been more than a personal choice. It’s a sacred social contract, a cultural cornerstone. Generations grew up believing in it not as blind submission, but as a partnership rooted in trust, sacrifice, and patience. But lately, a powerful wave is shifting that belief especially among young, urban minds consuming content that sells freedom over commitment, individualism over interdependence. One such example is a recent article titled “ Marriage is dying in India, and women are glad it is. ” While it's important to hear different voices, we must pause and ask: Whose truth are we hearing? And what is the cost of believing only one side? Then and Now: What Changed? Traditionally, Indian households operated on clearly defined roles. Men earn...

 People are not cut and dry. Everyone behaves differently in a relationship, and it can often be difficult to attribute certain characteristics to life circumstances. However, I have personally found that strong family ties inspire a unique kind of relationship conduct that extends past the family circle. There’s something special about being with a family man. When the going gets tough, he won’t get going. A guy who is very close to his family understands commitment at a deeper level. If you undergo hardship in your relationship, he isn’t one to just call it quits and leave. He understands that relationships aren’t always easy because he has continued to maintain a strong one with his family throughout his whole life. He knows how to compromise, and sees the bigger picture. He’s supportive of you and what you love, even if he doesn’t enjoy it himself. Being close to one’s family means attending loads of soccer games, family reunions, dance recitals, graduatio...

Have you ever found yourself in a friendship that felt a bit off, but you weren’t quite sure why? Or perhaps someone once told you, “Dude, you need boundaries,” but you shrugged it off thinking, “We’re just friends—boundaries aren’t necessary.” I used to think the same way. It turns out, though, that healthy boundaries are crucial for any friendship, including the ones we have with female friends. I’ve learned a lot about boundaries the hard way—through late-night conversations that got too personal, mixed signals that led to awkward confrontations, and emotional entanglements that left both parties confused. Not to mention, I’ve done my fair share of reading on psychology and relationships, which consistently underscores the importance of knowing where healthy limits begin and end. So, in this post, I want to walk you through seven boundaries every man should consider setting with his female friends, based on psychological insights and personal experience. Ready? Let’s dive in. 1. Be ...

A pregnant woman asks her husband: "What are you expecting, a boy or a girl?" ” The husband replies: "If it's a boy, I'll teach him math, we'll work out together, teach him how to fish, etc." ” The woman, laughing, asks: "What if it's a girl?" ” The husband smiles and says, "If it's a girl, I won't have to teach her anything." She will teach me everything: how to dress, how to eat, what to say and what not to say. Very soon, she'll become like a second mom to me, and even without doing anything special, she'll always consider me as her hero. She'll understand when I tell her no and she'll still compare her future husband to me. No matter how old she gets, she will always want me to treat her like my little princess. She'll fight for me against the world, and if anyone hurts me, she'll never forgive them. ” The woman, a little intrigued, asks: "You mean your daughter would do all thi...

There’s a particular ache in goodbyes that are never spoken. It isn’t just the parting it’s the silence that lingers, the unanswered questions, the unfinished conversations. These moments leave us suspended between the comfort of what was and the uncertainty of what could have been. We all want closure. We want reasons, explanations, and clarity that let us move on easily. But life doesn’t always offer that. As Seneca wisely said, “We suffer more often in imagination than in reality.” Our own need for certainty can deepen the pain. When someone leaves without explanation, it’s easy to spiral replaying conversations, wondering if we could have done something differently. But not every story ends with neat answers. Some chapters close abruptly, asking us to face ambiguity rather than avoid it. Marcus Aurelius reminds us, “You have power over your mind not outside events.” Unspoken goodbyes force us to realize that closure is something we create within ourselves, not someth...

After Retirement? Having a peaceful meal with a calm mind, if God has given enough money for it, why should a person keep running after money even after the age of 60-65? "Sol Gordon and Harold Brecher" wrote a book titled... "Life Is Uncertain... Eat Your Dessert First!!!" "Life is uncertain, so eat dessert first" – dessert symbolizes your favorite activities or the things you love most in life. Life is indeed uncertain. This truth is even more significant for retired individuals. Running behind accumulating wealth, chasing status and prestige—all these are fitting pursuits during youth. However, after 60 or 70, our focus should only be on our true priorities. Last week, during a senior citizen gathering, I posed a question: "How many of you are still fully engaged in jobs or businesses?" Out of around 300 attendees, 27 hands were raised. Then I asked a follow-up question: "Out of those 27, how many are working purely out of financial neces...

What Causes Infertility? Why has infertility become so widespread now, whereas it wasn’t as common 40 years ago? Is this due to diseases among people or something bigger, like a conspiracy? The 2005 Cotton Conference in Gujarat In 2005, a conference on Integrated Cotton Cultivation was held in Gujarat. Dr. Swaminathan’s institution partnered with the Gujarat government to launch BT Cotton (genetically modified cotton). The unique trait of BT Cotton: Its leaves contained a genetic modification that prevented pests from reproducing after consuming it. In essence, it spread infertility among pests. The Impact of BT Cotton on Society Farmers saw initial benefits, such as increased cotton production and reduced crop diseases. However, cottonseed oil, extracted from BT Cotton, entered the food chain and became widely consumed in Gujarat and across India. Concerns Raised During the conference, a warning was issued about the potential effects of genetically modified BT Cotton on humans...

I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.    FOR EXAMPLE: One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, 'I don't feel like it,I just want you to hold me.' I said, 'WHAT??!! What was that?!' So, she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear... 'You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man.'   She responded to my puzzled look by saying, 'Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?'   Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.    The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch a...

"When a marriage works, it’s because the woman sacrificed. When it fails, it’s because she didn’t sacrifice enough." Why is it that even when a divorce is mutual, the blame sticks to the woman like glue? Society has a twisted sense of equilibrium the weight of a marriage rests on a woman’s shoulders, but the failure of it? That’s hers alone to carry. A man walks away from a broken marriage with his dignity intact; a woman walks away with her character on trial. It’s not enough that she endured the emotional labor , the compromises, the slow erosion of her sense of self. No, the moment she decides to stop holding together the cracks, she becomes the problem. If he cheated? She should have been more attentive. If he was emotionally distant? She must have been too cold. If he was abusive? Why didn’t she leave sooner? And when she does leave, society doesn’t see it as courage it sees it as failure. A man’s flaws are humanized; a woman’s boundaries are weaponized. If a man decide...

For women who get hitched in their 20s, divorcing in the first couple of years has become a common pattern now, and most of them go through this horrifying phase even before hitting 30. While the factors behind every relationship’s downfall are different, the underlying impetus behind  marriage is similar for some of the women. For women, who maintain a comfortable long-term relationship in their 20s, the next logical step is to get hitched, mainly because they find it convenient. Madison, a 29 year-old accountant from New Jersey admitted to marrying even though she didn’t feel ‘crazy love’, because was ‘content and secure instead’, Huffington Post quoted her as telling. Many times it is a previous relationship, which leaves a woman heartbroken and propels them to marry ‘Mr Wrong'. They say you never really get over your first love. “I didn''t think I would ever fall in love again so I figured it didn’t matter who I married,” said Tara, a 26 year-old freelance writer from N...

A husband wakes up at home with a huge hangover. He forces himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table. He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed. He looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotless, clean. So is the rest of the house. He takes the aspirins and notices a note on the table. "Honey, breakfast is on the table, I left early to go grocery shopping. Love You!" Totally shocked with the note , he goes to the kitchen and sure enough there is a hot breakfast and the morning newspaper. His son is also at the table, eating. He asks, "Son, what happened last night?" His son says, "Well, you came home around 3 AM, drunk and delirious. Broke some crockery, puked in the hall, and gave yourself a black eye when you stumbled into the door". Confused, the man asks, "So, why is everything in order and so clean, and breakfast is on...

Your heart beats faster when you hear their name. Your body melts when you are in their arms  They are the only one that you want to be with  No one else is even worth looking at  You would walk 3 miles in the snow just to see them  You will do everything in your power to make them happy When someone asks for your number, you say "you can call my boy/girl friend and get it from them  When every romantic thing makes you think of them  When you cry when you won't see each other for a while  You go to sleep thinking about them You wake up thinking about them You want to spend every moment with them You don't mind if all they want to do is cuddle Silence doesn't bother you They are not only your lover, but also your best friend You can tell them anything You can go to the movies and actually WATCH the movie They are always there for you They are there when times are rough When you say, "I LOVE YOU" and mean i Courtesy: facebookquotes4u.com
