The power of mind
The most important part of you is your mind (not your brain—the brain is the hardware and the mind creates the software).

Like a garden returns fragrance and beauty according to theContinue reading “The power of mind”
For the love of our pets
There is no love greater than the love between man and his pet. The relationship human beings share with their furry (or not so furry) mates is, for the most part, inexplicable. Books may have been written and movies made about this precious bond, but the mutual love between humans and animals remains to beContinue reading “For the love of our pets”
We take different births to find what the soul really yearns for
People have always wondered what lies beyond the grave. While some say death is the end, others believe in life after death.

What does it mean to be well?
We’re often asked the question: “How are you doing today?” While we tend to answer in a positive, even cheerful tone most of the times, the truth might be somewhat complicated. Are we truly well? Before we think of an answer to that question, we must first understand what it means to be well. Those of usContinue reading “What does it mean to be well?”

Celebrating women in science
History hasn’t always been kind to women. They were denied education. Those that were ‘lucky’ enough to be informally educated couldn’t enter university seminars; those that were formally educated weren’t considered equal to their male peers. Many bold women were subdued, or worse–burned ‘for being witches’! Having an opinion was blasphemous, let alone having anContinue reading “Celebrating women in science”
