My Corner

Closing my eyes, into my ever so calm n alluring silence, I feel n dream -

Dare I look? What if I don't like what I see? Maybe it is best to just stay with what I know. Wondering and guessing what lies deeply hidden inside. Tomorrow will still come even if I dare not peek. And I will be none the wiser for letting the sleeping truth sleep. But it haunts me to go within and see, What is it that keeps nagging at me? It feels warm and inviting when I still my mind. Maybe I will like what I find ... So ever so slowly I unfold the layers, looking from the outside, to the inside of me ...

n the bud is blossoming into a colorful flower… Revathi

I'm passionate for learning ... I relish sharing my knowledge ... I love to read n read: anything... I'm keen in listening n observing n sensing the moment n people... I'm blissful when with music: soft melodies whisking me off to a far away land... I cherish my relationships: am greedy for friends ... My hobby includes sharing thoughts with everyone who wish to learn...

Competencies We can use, trade, barter, and build on the assets that are inherently ours to flesh out our lives with other good things that don’t come so easily – Victoria Moran

Competencies are areas in our lives – even ones we may regard as insignificant – in which good things tend to happen repeatedly and automatically! They are areas where we have an aptitude for something that seems so natural that we can’t understand why other people struggle with it. These are areas we get compliments about… These are the strengths that we speak about by saying, “I’ve just got a knack for …”

Favorite Books Those who make friends with books are never alone! Never did I find any saying so true than this, when I first picked up a book… When we open a book and read it, we’re giving shape and dimension to the routine events of everyday life, making it possible for us to discover the meaning of life. Amongst many other benefits, reading also helps us concentrate better, see subtleties quickly, develop an understanding to how others think and feel, acquire the ability to sift information and to understand how unrelated facts can fit into a whole, be more flexible in our thinking and more open to new ideas… As Francis Bacon said – Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.

Favorite Movies Why do I watch movies??? Because… I enjoy them…. they help open difficult conversations… they are a fun and leisure time activity with family and friends… they provide us glimpses into different cultures and histories… they help us learn…

Playlist We wake up in the morning to the sound of our alarm clock radio. While we shower in preparation for our day, we may hum a song that has been echoing in our head for days. As we drive to school/work, the radio plays a string of nonstop hits that we may later discuss with family and friends. During our lunch break, a thin strain of music settles over the busy crowd. Even on our way home, we may encounter music. Music and Songs are so integral to human life… They are the furnishings of the mind; a layer of comfortable clutter of thoughts, feelings and half-remembered stories that we use to ornament ourselves stress free lives…

Music helps develop brain areas involved in language and reasoning, to establish connections between words, to enhance our listening abilities. Music provides us with an internal glimpse of other cultures, helps us develop a sense of creativity and lateral thinking, makes us stretch our inner resources to a new level of excellence, and increase our synchronization, and helps us shed our inhibitions… amongst many more benefits…
