Strandom

Strandom is a word coined from “stray” and “random” thoughts. It’s a compilation of selected reflections on topics that are relevant and exist with, and within us. This is an attempt to understand ‘Life’ a little more, amidst the present, through different ways, for making it more meaningful, happy and useful for us and others. The weekly postings that were read by many over the last few years, and the suggestions of compiling it to a book has made this happen. The unveiling experiences of the journey of life, the anecdotes and the learning from the class-rooms and life-rooms, personalities and events we come across, and the repeated retreats to books – all helped in this. Living better and fuller in a given or “to be given” situation decides on “how best” we can move ahead successfully. Strandom attempts to throw light, in an ever growing “assorted world”. New tenets of living becomes imperative with fast changing scenario in every field of the world we share. New methods of life cannot eschew the proven values of humanity. The strandom are mentioned under various themes (though originally they were scrambled without an order on themes): situations, events, concepts, people..it’s for anyone. But probably the youth has a special advantage since they are front runners to lead and change the evolving world. I personally feel they can add perspectives to our daily lives and hence to the ever fast changing society, by stretching our thoughts.
