I am calling it a nibble for success since nibble is a computing term for a four-bit aggregation and as a verb it means doing things in small and steady steps. At any stage of our personal , professional or institutional life, we face the following questions. What to do next ? : This is a fundamental question and answering this is very essential .

Freshest Thoughts, Fastest Way

Humans have some advantages . Through our language use, humans are able to bind time i.e, human beings of one generation have been able to communicate with human beings of other generations. In other words, one generation can learn from the records of knowledge and experience. The inventions in the past such as printing machines have only amplified this process. But learning that books and sharing of experience that records facilitated was of different nature.

This in a sense makes it available to all a kind of " world brain" that they can access in real time . So what web has done to us is share " Freshest Thoughts, fastest

Judy Jade in Rashee's Life

Sorrow sought no permission or made any advance announcement when it entered Rashee ’s life. Of course it is inherent nature of sorrow to be sudden and devastating as we had seen in case of Yelling for Yasmin . And it indeed devastated Rashee ’s life. It was this day last year; fate gifted him a Judy Jade in his family. About three months before that he was one day morning woken up to a phone call from josha informing about an operation she had to undergo later in the week. Of course, it was not totally unexpected or surprising. She had been under some kind of medical treatment for about a decade or so and hospital visits were regular.

With the introduction of notions such as conscious, unconscious mind, ego, id, superego, Sigmund Freud to certain extent succeeded in unravelling the mystery of mind. For instance, dreams are nothing but the release of emotions during sleep suppressed by the conscious mind while we are awake. We get dreams during sleep because unconscious mind takes ove
