monumental ignorance, idle curiosity, unwanted interference, or even calculated

clearly in light not so bright. #think
08. Babies are dependent on us, and we take pleasure
in introducing them to the ways of the world. At some stage in life, we expect
them to be independent. Further on, we expect them to take care of us also.
Stages 1and2 ok. Stage 3 is a guess!# children
09. God is a marketeer par excellence. He developed
a high class technique of temptation, to get his product--the baby--in

its Maker, with its own innovative techniques of blockade #God

object of hospitals, some hospitals show interest in prevention of disease as
well. #disease
19. When we dont agree on something, maybe we have
reasons ,or it is just prejudice. Even when we have reasons, it may be
justifiable, but not mentionable, or not quite justifiable . It is then time to
break off with "Let us agree to disagree".#opinion

or never. If propelled by innate passion, this should not matter to you.

know they need advice. #advice
23. We choose top notch MBAs for high managerial positions involving millions of
rupees/dollars, but leave the management of people to all and sundry. It is a wonder how things
dont go awry.,and we all survive. Such miracles augment our faith
in God!#democracy.

views on life, till then firmly held. #life

between better audience and bigger audience, because when one is targetted
the other will be antagonised. #audience

paripassu with the biological urge.# recognition

32. Soothing words don't cure illness or solve your problems. But they help make
you stable
enough to face the challenge .#soothing
33.Courage is of two kinds. Born of knowledge and born of ignorance. A test

waters,simply does not know the risk involved. There are many go-in-between
cases in life. #courage
34.Unless a person luckily dies before getting very old, he has to undergo all
the process of ageing,ie. deteriorated functioning of the senses--the audio,the video,the
motorised parts and the sensory parts,slowly, till he ultimately comes to a
stop at an ICU.#oldage

and abject poverty. Even keel is not their cup of tea. #risk

passed and you are nearer to your end than where you were one hour ago. A reflection which many
may resent, and they are justified also!#life

innocent may be inevitable. They are martyrs for a good cause,though not by
their own choice.#EVIL

tricky,has to be dressed up before disclosure.#truth
