Counting Depreciation Values: For Appreciation

When you are buying or selling used assets, calculation of depreciation values for that particular asset is vital.  Let me put it this way, to get the best values out your used assets, depreciation needs to be calculated. During my time in the Banking Sector, I’d witnessed some automobile companies setting up camps in the vicinity

The Village Tree

It can be noisy and annoying, for some, when children are playing.  Noisy sounds of children, chattering and playing, can be heard from far distances.  They did not seem to have enough time before darkness completely takes over daylight.  To them, it seems like the last day on earth.  Relieved from their daily routine, they

All Alone: Desolation

While scanning through my old journals, I found this piece – a kind of short poem.  It was written in those times when I really feel desolate.  And, I know, I am not a good writer. A decade went by, when must have written this small piece.  My joy and happiness are short-lived.  My health

What do you want to say to God?

“Papa, I forget my prayer lines!” exclaimed my son.  The feeling of little disappointment can be sense from his voice.  And I rushed to his rescue, immediately.

Birthday Thought

A thousand miles away from home, I am blessed to start a small family.  It wasn’t easy.  When things did not fall as planned, there’s someone to whom I can always poured out my heart. Being a grown up isn’t easy either.  We all need someone to cry on.  She did not interrupt me while

In Love: Being Rejected and Accepted

We were alone at home.  Daddy knew her well, he assumed.  It was time for her noontime nap.  Daddy cleared his throat to sing a soft lullaby.  When Daddy cleared his throat, it was as if he is to going perform in a rock concert. So she cried and push a little.  Daddy feel rejected,

Reflection of me

‘Now you look like a real Mister’, echoed my son in the back of the room.  I was dressing up for the day. By this time, I knew someone was always watching my behavior.  What comes from my mouth and what I did are going to have impact on my child. Parenting was not an

A Broken Bicycle

Sam, a young boy, was hustling down his old bicycle in the streets.  As usual, there were people queuing in the vicinity of a dented building.  He was trying to run pass the crowd when suddenly the cycling chain broke into two pieces. ‘Many times I told my father to get me a new one’,
