  Till I saw her   A restless body and a meaningless life That's what I was Till I saw her Once I saw her, I was restless But still enjoyed those restless moments Once I saw her, my meaningless life Became meaningful A deserted heart and dull days That's what I was Till I saw her Once I saw her, my heart became a garden Waiting for the butterflies and bees to join Once I saw her, my dull days disappeared And became colourful days Hate and fear were my language That's what I was Till I saw her Once I saw her, love became my language Waiting for her to convey my love Once I saw her, my fear disappeared And courage became my language Loneliness and pain That's what I was Till I saw her Once I saw her, I never wanted to be alone Waiting for her to fill my life Once I saw her, my pain became a pleasure Waiting for her lovely words, which are my painkillers I am longing to convey my love I am longing to hold her hands I am longing to ...

  "I Know" to "I Want to Know": Taming the Ego That Blocks Learning Have you ever tried to teach someone who already "knows it all"? Their arms are crossed, their eyes glaze over, and every new idea is met with a quiet, deadly: "I know." In the training industry, we encounter this often. The "I know" attitude isn't really about knowledge—it's about armour. It makes people hostile, defensive, and resistant to new learning. But here's the surprising truth: "I know" isn't inherently negative. It depends on the situation and the person using it. Sometimes, saying "I know" is necessary—to prove competence, save time, or avoid repeating what we've already mastered. So where's the problem? The problem isn't the phrase itself. It's the closed posture that comes with it. The subtle message beneath "I know" is often: "Don't teach me. I've arrived." But there...

  I have a dream girl I have a dream girl in my mind, Crafted from my artistic thoughts. She is the girl I am looking for. I have a dream girl in my mind, Whose eyes are more powerful than spoken words. She is the girl I am looking for. I have a dream girl in my mind, Whose nose is as sharp as an arrow. She is the girl I am looking for. I have a dream girl in my mind, Whose cheeks speak a language by themselves. She is the girl I am looking for. I have a dream girl in my mind, Whose lips are sweeter than sweets. She is the girl I am looking for. I have a dream girl in my mind, Whose face is a painting superior to the best painting in the universe. She is the girl I am looking for. I have a dream girl in my mind, Whose breast is the place where I want to rest. She is the girl I am looking for. I have a dream girl in my mind, Whose hips I want to grip. She is the girl I am looking for. I have a dream girl in my mind — When she passes by, that's the ...

  She is a Master Peace A good poem requires Words chosen not only to rhyme But also to be spoken with ease. Yet her eyes are poetry themselves— Demanding attention, Compelling you to feel the rhythm. And reciting her name holds more beauty Than any verse ever could. A good painting requires A canvas not merely clean, But vast enough to capture The creator's vision, With perfect brushes and hues. Yet her very presence is art— Needing only open eyes to witness, And words simpler than "beautiful" To express her grace. She is both a living poem and a timeless painting, Igniting the poet and painter within. To see her is to discover fortune; To be loved by her, A once-in-a-lifetime rarity, An opportunity beyond measure. M.L. Narendra Kumar  

  When she walks When she walks Nobody would like to Move even a few steps away When she talks Nobody would like to Utter a single word When she sees Nobody would like to Blink their eyes When she smiles Nobody would like to Stop looking at her lips When she moves here and there Nobody would like to Miss her moving hips When she cries Nobody would like to See tears fall from her eyes When she is there Nobody would like to be Away from her She is not a model with looks She is a role model for models Who wants to improve their looks I have been secretly admiring her So that she can be mine forever She is the one without whom I am nobody, and nobody forever M.L. Narendra Kumar

  India is my Nation Neither do I spit on the road Nor litter my street Tiranga is in my heart and soul India is my Nation — I am patriotic not just by words, but by my deeds Neither do I honk my vehicle Nor break traffic rules Tiranga is in my heart and soul India is my Nation, discipline is my passion Neither do I engage in hateful discussions Nor get carried away by divisive politics Tiranga is in my heart and soul India matters more than my religion and caste Neither do I misbehave in a foreign land Nor put down my Country Tiranga is in my heart and soul India is my Nation — I am the brand ambassador who carries the pride of the Nation Neither do I claim my language is superior Nor my state is superior Tiranga is in my heart and soul India is my Nation — I am Indian first, and the rest next Neither do I live in past glory Nor in the pains of foreign invasion Tiranga is in my heart and soul India is my Nation — our future is my focus This Indian p...

  Place Inside Palace When you hear the word palace, what comes to mind? If you know Karnataka, you might picture the grandeur of Mysore Palace or the elegance of Bangalore Palace. If Rajasthan is closer to your heart, your thoughts may drift to the shimmering façades of Hawa Mahal. But pause for a moment. Take that word – palace – and quietly remove the second letter, a. What do you get? Place. Suddenly, the meaning shifts. A palace is distant, majestic, often someone else’s. But a place? That’s yours. The place you call home can become a palace – not because of marble floors or towering ceilings, but because of the heart you bring to it. It’s the warmth with which you welcome your own four walls, the gratitude for the roof above you, that transforms an ordinary place into something regal. What good is a palace if your heart is unwelcoming? On the other hand, a hundred-square-foot room can feel like a throne room when you sit there, sharing laughter and tears with those yo...

  Why Boredom Was Actually a Kingdom If you were born between 1960 and the mid-1990s, you probably remember using a word that feels almost forgotten today: "boring." We said it often. But here's the thing—we didn't stay there. The moment we declared something boring, we immediately started looking for a way out. We didn't sulk. We acted. We pulled out board games, challenged each other to rock-paper-scissors, cut paper into shapes, drew, painted, or simply walked over to a friend's house to chat. No gadgets. No screens. We were either playing, socialising, or creating something with our own hands. That word "boring" was just a quick verbal complaint. But beneath it, our inner voice was saying, "Come on, let's do something." Fast forward to today. That word is barely used anymore. Why? Because a smartphone in your hand keeps you occupied every waking moment. Sure, reading isn't bad. But most of the time, it's endless...

  Feed Your Mind, Not Just Your Body Every human being experiences hunger—but not all hunger is the same. Physical hunger is relentless. You can ignore it for a day, a week, or even longer if you're on a hunger strike. But eventually, your body demands food. In daily life, that familiar pang of hunger hits once or twice a day, and you eat. That’s not weakness—that’s survival. Physical hunger keeps you alive, but you cannot negotiate with it for long. Now consider mental hunger. Unlike its physical counterpart, mental hunger is a choice. It doesn’t cripple you if you ignore it. You won’t collapse from lack of knowledge—but you might stagnate. When you truly need insight, skill, or wisdom, you actively seek it. That desire to learn, to grow, to understand—that’s mental hunger. And it’s entirely up to you whether you feed it or let it starve. Think of it this way: You wouldn’t wait until you’re famished to eat a balanced meal. You plan, you hydrate, you nourish your body at the ...

  The Stranger Who Changed Your Life (And You Never Knew Their Name) Not everyone who stays in our lives adds value. Not everyone who leaves has taken value away. And not everyone who enters will necessarily bring something meaningful. But here’s the strange part—sometimes, a stranger ends up adding more value than those closest to us. We may not even acknowledge it at the moment, and later, we might not even remember their name. Yet, a single conversation, a fleeting sentence, can trigger something inside us—something that changes the course of our lives forever. Let me share a story. About two decades ago, I was delivering a customer care training program for Southern Railway employees. During an informal gathering in the dining area, the conversation drifted toward the impact people have on our lives. One participant shared something I’ve never forgotten. He said, “Sir, I’m in the railways today because of a stranger. Years ago, someone I didn’t know told me to take a ra...

  Lessons from the Smallest Creatures Nature has countless lessons to offer—if only we pay close attention. From the tiniest ant to the mightiest elephant, every creature teaches us something valuable about life. Take the butterfly and the honeybee, for example. Though their lives are short, their impact on Earth is anything but small. Through pollination, they help plants grow, bear fruit, bloom flowers, and keep nature green and thriving. What even humans cannot accomplish, these tiny beings do quietly and wonderfully. Consider this: a single honeybee produces only about 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey in its entire lifetime—roughly the amount left on a knife after spreading honey on toast. That may seem like very little, but for a creature so small, it is a remarkable achievement. We often admire butterflies resting delicately on a flower, yet we forget they are silently working. We see a honeybee comb hanging from a tree branch, but rarely stop to think about the tireless e...

  Out of Sight, But Should They Be Out of Mind? We’ve all heard the saying: out of sight, out of mind. It’s a phrase that pops up everywhere—in business, in daily life, and even in the way we handle relationships. Take Kellogg’s, for example. When the brand first launched in India, it was everywhere. On retail shelves, on billboards, in TV commercials, and in newspaper ads. What was once a very American breakfast idea gradually became a regular item on Indian grocery lists. Today, it’s a wholesome breakfast choice that fits many urban Indian households. How did that happen? The company first captured our mindshare. Once they had our attention, they earned a spot on our shopping lists. And for some, thanks to quality and service, they’ve even found a place in our hearts. Now, let’s draw a parallel—to our personal lives. What if we applied the same principle to the people who truly matter? Staying in touch with childhood friends, old neighbours, or college buddies brings a...

  Less than a minute, Lesson-3153 Understanding the Motivational Levels We don’t replace the remote control when it stops working; we check the batteries and, if they're discharged, replace them. Similarly, when people don’t perform, we don’t need to replace them. Instead, let us understand their motivational levels and help them reconnect with their purpose so they can stay motivated. M.L. Narendra Kumar Director Instivate Learning Solutions Pvt. Ltd          

  Less than a minute, Lesson-3152 Choose your Race Some choose to run the rat race and find themselves closer to the gutter. Some choose to run a horse race and, in doing so, get trained to compete with the best.   Others choose to be like lions and lead their lives on their own terms. We all have a choice. M.L.
