How often do you feel like there’s nothing that you can do? Well, I do often. I end up surfing the net or watching TV. My favorite pass times are Whatsapp, social media, and Youtube.

When my son is around, I play with him or tell him a story. We play pretend games a lot.

I read an article on Mahatma Gandhi last week and compelled to write this non-financial piece. Gandhi must be a known figure to you, they way you know Nelson Mandela or  Dr. martin Luther King, Jr.

For me, born and brought up in India, I felt Gandhi every day in our school, in prayers, in lessons and in pictures on the classroom wall. I started learning Gandhi the moment I developed reading ability. The practice is still followed in Indian schools. He’s the father of the nation.

Somehow I don’t feel like writing another personal finance topic today, also in weekend edition I talk only on personal matter. On weekends, OCAAT becomes a white board of my state of mind. If you follow my blog for only my financial advices, you may not get anything out from today’s article. If you follow my life, a bloggers life, you may get some insight in to my inner self. I know some of you do follow my weekend’s life snippets. At least the emails I receive indicate that fact.

I am nostalgic and way more emotional than average men. I get hurt easily and am extremely fragile. In my personal life I often feel insecure.
