I had no specific topic in mind when I started this blog, hence the name 'Abracadabra'. Each time the box opens (my brain) it will bring a new thing out. Just say 'Abracadabra'...
One of the basic facts about life is that it is unpredictable and our life can change for the worse any moment. Those who accept and understand this fact live and handle problems and failures effectively while those who don’t, end up ruining there and the lives those around them, no matter how successful they were. Just read an article about a young Indian guy in the US who committed suicide after shooting his wife and children. He passed from a premier engineering college in India and then went on to do his MBA from a University in the US. He had a high paying job, a beautiful wife, a big house and luxury cars. So, what went wrong? California Institute of Clinical Psychology Studied his case and found “what went wrong?” They interviewed his friends and family and found that he had lost his job due to America’s economic crisis and was jobless for a long time. He even reduced his previous salary amount but didn’t get a...
"Simon says…" As a ‘Die Hard’ fan of action movies I have always loved the ‘Die Hard’ trilogy and this dialogue from part 3, Die Hard with a Vengeance, is my favourite. The story goes like this: The bad guy, ‘Simon Gruber,’ has assigned a series of tasks to the protagonist, ‘John McClane,’ and his partner, ‘Zeus Carver,’ and whenever Simon explains a task to ‘John McClane,’ he starts with this phrase, “Simon says…,” followed by the task.
