Are you phub-bing?# Word is World Sequel

  "phub·bing the practice of ignoring one's companion or companions in order to pay attention to one's phone or other mobile device." This word (new to me) and it's meaning is a true reflection of current scenario. Our vocabulary is increasing exponentially to accomodate our associated behavioural changes in this ever evolving world heading towards digitilization. Phone snubbing is phubbing. It tends to be rude and inconsiderate behaviour. There are other gadgets too - TV, laptops. Just wondering whether we will have these new words soon - TV-ubbing, Lap-ubbing etc. Not to forget social media too- Insta-ubbing. Feeling bemused by this advancement, where the darker side of human nature has dedicated words to it's credit. Time to keep one's mind open in this fast paced evolving world.  The way this world is moving, I fear soon we will have this new word-  nat-ubbing # nature snubbing. It gives me goose bumps to think what will be the consequences if nature s

Book Review: Life A lemonade.

Book Review: Life A lemonade. My dear readers, On a mission to review book reading culture, I am sharing a book review, written by Dr. Diptimala Agarwal. Wishing her enough luck and sales for her book "Life A Lemonade."  Sharing book review and the links.  Book Review: This book is Author's sincere attempt to share her learning’s from friend's lives. Her writing style is lucid. One connects with the word Sakhi and can relate well with the stories which give a strong message - Never give up. If life throws stones, use it as paperweight, if life throws roses, adorn in your hair, if lemons make Lemonade. Life is indeed bitter sweet and 99% how we take it. I will describe it as 26 shades of inspiring feminine lives. A light travel read/ weekend read. Do buy if you want your inspiration dose.

Support Vs Help: Word is World Sequel series

Support Vs Help: Word is World Sequel Series This is an impromptu write up, dedicated to a soul fighting an inner battle. Our routine conversation churned out this thought provoking write up. This write up is sequel of “Word is World” series. I firmly believe in the power of word. Our spoken words are building bricks in shaping up our destiny. Often, unknowingly, we tend to use words which appear to have same meaning with subtle difference. Little do we realize that the meaning and essence is entirely different. For example, Depression- sadness, stress-tension, support-help. In this write up, I will cover the essence of support –help.      We have used these phrases – Help the mankind, Support your family, children. Do we ever pause and think why help (and not support) the mankind and support (and not help) your family/ children? A casual remark by my learned soul, “I want to support my child” embarked me on this journey of world of words. To help is “to provide assistance and make it
