  Today I was listening to tamil songs while working out at the gym.I born in the generation of baby boomer more use to songs with lyrics,melody and minimal background music. As I was shuffling the songs between silent generation to current alpha generation. I was reflecting on the song preference change from silent generation to current alpha generation. It actually made me realise each generation as their liking of songs according to their generations. The silent generation songs are slow more focused on meaning of the lyrics of song with basic music at background.I assume this generation required more motivation to live and survive their daily life. The next baby boomer generation songs have good lyrics with meaning ,slightly fast mode with shallow background music to give a boast to the song. The millennial and Z generation as a fast lyrics with little meaning to the song with number of musics accompanies the songs. However the current alpha generation songs there is no mea...

  Request:- We have decided not to have pets anymore.  Everyone sad at home as Lucky has been with us for past 15 years.  Regards Reply:- Give time and think it over,as give time those grieving to come to understand the reality of life cycle   During grieving phase the emotion will be topsy turvy and roller coaster effect.  Let them settle with time to the lost of the pet. I opine your wife need a good companion at current times with retirement and spending time home alone. If a pet died suddenly at younger age that grieving and pain is a different matter. I agree getting another one to soon will cause unnecessary anxiety.  However Lucky is a ur family member As such we human had accepted it has our part of family.It is bcos of the agape love they give us n in return don't expect anything from us. However with a clause that they will live with us for around 10 to 12 yrs. Your Lucky had stayed much longer even with it's painful old age; as much it can w...

There is an elder nun who is very fond of me. Whenever her small garden of durian, rambutan, and pineapple is in season, she insists that I come and collect a few fruits.   This has gone on for many years. I always make an attempt to take them from her, and I do so with joy, because of her sincere heart to share what she has.   At the same time, it rekindles memories of a wonderful, late, and extremely old nun named Sister Felicia, who was my godmother.   Well, today as usual, the nun told me to collect the rambutans.   At the agreed time, I arrived at the gate where she would promptly come to pass them to me with a cheerful smile before I left.   However, this time I had to wait more than 45 minutes, and after a few calls and messages, she didn’t turn up. As I was about to drive away, I saw a vague figure in my rearview mirror.   So I turned back to her gate. I saw her standing under the shade of the rambutan tree, asking me t...

He was a man of principle. A family man. Wisdom and virtue weren’t quotes - they were his daily breath.   Four anchors held him:   1. Hear both sides before judging.   2. Let reason, not emotion, steer.   3. Don’t let a third voice decide for two hearts.   4. Love your neighbor as yourself.   Marriage brought storms. Annoyance, hurt, misunderstanding - waves, not wrecks.   When they came, he didn’t point. He went home, prayed, reflected, realigned. That was his ritual for decades.   He learned this: if someone grips a hot iron rod and cries “It burns!”, no one can open their hand for them. Release comes only from within.   Adversity taught him. Each hard season pushed him inward, closer to the spiritual realm.   He believed Lord Jesus Christ always opened a new path when the old one closed. For that he was grateful. Even grateful to her - her pain became his doorway to Truth. Between them...
