Proverbs and Platitudes

Pujit Aggarwal Redivivus – Proverbs and Platitudes My mother was more particular about my moral code and conduct than my performance in the periodic exams held by the school. If I got good grades, she would pat me on the back, if I under performed, she would just beam a smile and encourage me to […]
Sincerity

Pujit Aggarwal Redivivus – Sincerity Among all the moral qualities our parents, teachers, and scriptures inculcate in us is sincerity. It is not employed as frequently as it used to be in the good old days. There may be a small chapter in the unopened handbook of business ethics wherein it is explained and recommended […]
Change is the name of the Game: My Musings from Life

Change is the name of the Game: My Musings from Life In 1860, one of the defining pioneers of biology as a science, the English genius Thomas Henry Huxley coined the term ‘Darwinism’ which in very eloquent terms yet brutal connotations, states the fact, that for a species to survive, they have to take recourse […]
Friendship

Sinfulness

Pujit Aggarwal Redivivus – Sinfulness All animals are creatures of desire; appetites would be more appropriate. They crave food when hungry, water when thirsty, safety when exposed to danger or harm. They become touch-friendly and cuddlesome when cultivated with love and care. Dogs, cats, and some birds are amenable to domesticity. Human beings are different […]
Lessons

Pujit Aggarwal Redivivus – Lessons I was about to select the title Life Lessons but, on an impulse, I omitted the modifier and settled for the simple one word which is so comprehensive it subsumes not only the nanosecond but eternity also. Life lessons, for lack of an equally imprecise variant, are dispensed at reduced […]
