Girl Power!!

A few years ago, she was a teenage-mother, living off scraps and out of a car. Today, she is pursuing a degree in Business Administration and Public Policy at the Harvard University. Besides, she is also the author of the book Financial Education for Lower-Income Audiences: A guide to Programme Design, Implementation and Evaluation which is found in the libraries of various US colleges and b-schools.

I wanted my son to be proud of me and I thought no better way than to study and get myself some real degrees. Harvard was just an illusion when I stayed on the streets and went to sleep hungry. Today, I am right there," said Lalita Booth while speaking from the US.

Lalita's story makes good sense because she is also probably one of the few who has been awarded some 20 scholarships in the last five years -- worth a whopping half a million US dollars.

All the world's a stage!!

Am putting up the article after reading lallu akka's article on the various masks and identities that we wear and reflecting back on my own journey..Once a school kid, then a happy go lucky college goer, then a home maker and an employee in an organisation..So the drama unfolds..


All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

On top of the world!!!

Some days u are with a song on ur lip and with a bouncy light heart..Had a gr8 weekend and on top of the world on Monday morning!!

Whatever You Give To Life, Life Gives You Back!!

If you water a plant for a couple of days a hundred times you will not be nurturing it..You will be killing it..If you water the same plant only twice..But for hundred days it will blossom..Dumb plants teach life!!!


Likewise only if we plant a rose plant we can get roses..
* If you plant honesty, you will reap trust
* If you plant humility, you will reap greatness
* If you plant perseverance, you will reap contentment
* If you plant consideration, you will reap perspective
* If you plant hard work, you will reap success
* If you plant forgiveness, you will reap reconciliation

Sometimes the fruits of good actions are not visible immediately..Does not mean that the plant will not bear flower..But it needs much more time to mature...To have life as a bed of beautiful flowers or a bed of weeds is man's choice!!
