ALTRUISM
ALTRUISM – a gift of unconditional giving. We spend our lives teaching our children to be kind without realising how much we actually practise it. Helping someone is a basic trait that most or all of us inherit. We naturally tend to help an old cross a road or a teach a child to simply…
Big things!
BIG THINGS IN LITTLE THINGS… Focusing on the big picture is what all common people do. Lot of effort and planning goes into it. Have you ever chased a butterfly and felt the same amount of happiness than someone else who is having coffee at CCD? Every second, every moment, we come across “little things”….
Nonsense
I saw an old skinny man, at the edge of an old brook, God knows what he was doing, holding a big crooked hook. I thought he’d swim across the waters, to catch some tiny fish, He danced in circles and sang a sonnet, flew up his hat instead. His shoes were muddy and his…
Being Silly
Silly Oh silly, I would like to be, On a planet of earnest faces. Giggling and laughing all the way, Funny, crazy and so boring. I wana stumble and quimble, Dance on a whacky jazzy tune. Sing along mad and stay up all night, Till I go rolling on the dance floor. I would get…

Wynken, Blynken, and Nod – Eugene Field
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night Sailed off in a wooden shoe,— Sailed on a river of crystal light Into a sea of dew. “Where are you going, and what do you wish?” The old moon asked the three. “We have come to fish for the herring-fish, That live in this beautiful sea; Nets of…
Wind On The Hill – A. A. Milne
No one can tell me, Nobody knows, Where the wind comes from, Where the wind goes. It’s flying from somewhere As fast as it can, I couldn’t keep up with it, Not if I ran. But if I stopped holding The string of my kite, It would blow with the wind For a day and…
