Although it takes some time in the beginning, you can gain time in course of time by going through each and every mail and find out the opt-out information. You may use those instructions to remove your name or request the concerned companies to remove your name from the mailing list.
3) Learn about direct mail and register
Patience is the key that helps to reduce your junk mails. You may visit websites such as www.dmachoice.org which help you learn about direct mail and to register your mail preferences.

Autumn Lesson of Flowers

Flowers are always enjoyable. They are beautiful. Wherever they are they fill their surrounding with happiness. They are found everywhere-- by the congested roadside, near the swamps, in the desert, amid the thorns and sometimes even on the dung hill. Wherever they are, they are eternally beautiful, gay and fragrant. They are used on all occasions-- happy and sorrowful. Flowers call forth images of peace and tranquility. It is their nature.

Flowers too have trials
These happy flowers also have occasions of trials. They too have peaceless moments. They too have troublesome environments. They have to endure the pollution and decay of the world of nature. They blossom in the morning and fade in the evening. But they never fail to fill the atmosphere they are to be a pleasant one.

Yellow Vision

In the South Indian language Tamil there is a proverb (jaundice eyes see everything yellow) which means the eyes of a person who has jaundice sees everything in yellow color. Even if he looks at pure white things he will see them only as yellow. It is not the mistake of his eyes or vision; but it is the disease in him that results in yellow vision.

Yellow Vision of the Mind

This is quite fitting to many of our mental visions also. Most of the time we develop a prejudiced view in our mind about certain things before we judge them. That makes us misunderstand persons and situations and pass wrong judgments. The yellow vision of our mind jumps before all to take a rash decision and treat others harshly wounding their hearts. Our prejudice or pre-occupied ideas that exists already n our minds makes us blind in seeing things in reality. It is, of course, a defect or a jaundice disease of our mind that hurries to give a wrong picture.

The leaves crunched softly under his feet as Jim followed Tick through the piles of leaves, towards the play area. Maria was suddenly brought back from her reverie by the crunchy noise. Whenever Maria was in depression overwhelmed by the memories of Jeff, this lake park was her antidote. It was here that Maria met Jeffry for the first time on a drizzling day in an autumn evening two years back, as she was searching for her puppy Tick.

Modern technological life has brought in more anxiety. Whether stressed or not, anxiety in today’s life creates feelings of fear, worry, uneasiness, and dread more than any other time in the past. Although anxiety helps one to deal with a difficult situation by prompting timely solutions, when it becomes excessive, it develops into an anxiety disorder. Anxiety turns into fear when threat is the trigger and means for escape is sought. But it becomes “a future-oriented mood state in which one is ready or prepared to attempt to cope with upcoming negative events” in which case it tries to find out positive solutions.

The first day of October is celebrated as the feast day of Saint Therese of Child Jesus, a French Carmelite nun who is also known as "The
Little Flower of Jesus".

St. Therese of Child Jesus, also called Therese of Liseaux, is indeed a person well loved by the Lord because of her childlike faith and simplicity. The Catholic Church has announced this virgin saint as doctor of the church because of her profound understanding of the mysteries of the gospel. Her little way to follow Christ earned her the inheritance of the Kingdom of God.

Whoever humbles himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me." (Matthew 183-5)

Five Keys to Develop Your Child’s Handwriting

Handwriting in computer era
Computers are omnipresent: at home, in schools, in the workplace, and practically every nook and corner of the world. Writing letters or any other thing is carried out by emails on computer. But can we say that there is no need for handwriting practice and that the art of handwriting is already dead?


Handwriting neglected today

Today, good handwriting is not quite the essential skill that it once was, as students at school increasingly type essays, send emails and SMS messages rather than write letters or answer on papers. Even jobs do not need anything written on papers since workplace memos usually only require a signature or even just initials.

Why Male Initial

Man and woman are equal in creation. In giving birth to a child, though father has an important part to play, it is the woman that bears all the pains of pregnancy and labor.
Yet only the father’s name is used for the initial of the child. Why do they neglect the mother’s part in naming the child?

Womanhood honored in India

Woman has a respectful place in India. India is even called as Bharath Matha (Mother Bharath). All the rivers flowing in India are called by names of women. The names of rivers Ganga, Yamuna, Kaveri, etc. are names of women only. But still the initial of the name of the child is only that of the father.

God Made Me an Adult

Whether I liked or not, I am alive today. That too, I have grown an adult. For nobody expected me to grow into an adult.

Who can accept a crippled into their community? Who would like to be in the company of a handicapped? But in spite of every hurdle in life, I could surpass it and exist today.

Whether unexpected or unwanted, I am not sure, but one thing is sure that is: I am an advanced adult today. I might have cursed along with Job, “Cursed be the day I was born, and the night which whispered; …May that day be dark, may God on high ignore it.” (Job: 3-4) The doctor prophesied the day I was born, “There is only fifty per cent of chance to get the baby out alive. Even if it is born, it can survive only for a few months!”

It was a journey of five days in those days when conveyance was very poor. He had to pass through a jungle to reach the city.

Will you Give Me Your Youth?

Youth is the most enjoyable period of life. Every one wants to be young for ever. But who will be ready to exchange his youth to some old man?

H. W. Longfellow wonders at the beautiful period of youth saying, “How beautiful is youth! How bright it gleams with its illusions, aspirations, and dreams! It is the Book of Beginnings, Story without End, Each maid a heroine, and each man a friend!” It is probably the happiest period in life most frequently is in middle age, when the eager passions of youth are cooled, and the infirmities of age not yet begun. Youth is the most enjoyable period of human life. It is the period of adventures and achievements.

He created the donkey, the dog and the monkey just creating the man. At last he created man and sighed in a great relief that his work of creation is over.

Who Can Make our Hardships Soft

It is human always to choose lighter and softer things rather than hard ones. We shun away from hard responsibilities. But if there is someone to shoulder us we are ready to bear them. And we have One!

You might have heard the story of ‘a donkey carrying hard and soft loads’. It is a very interesting story that children enjoy hearing frequently. Though I am not sure about the origin of that story, I always think of the deep meaning it conveys.

Every Morning Wakes Afresh

Dawn of another new day makes us enjoy the love of God. Nature fills our hearts with fresh news about the ever caring Providence of God.


Every morning wakes afresh

There is newness in the air
And I can see it everywhere
Announcing beauty fresh and fair
Telling everyone it’s another day.

After I leap from my bed
And take a look at every blossom
Shooting, flowering, spreading fragrance
With a delightful news of another day.

God or Ghost: Who is My Companion?

Supernatural powers are after us. We are filled with so many of our inborn feelings and fears. But is there a companion always after us?


God or Ghost: Who is my Constant Companion

When I was a child I used to be terrified of ghosts. After dusk, every move seemed to me that of a ghost. Swaying of leafy branches was a nod of a black headed ghost calling me to come near! If I did have to venture out after dark I would always take an unwilling adult with me. Until recently, when my grandpa asked me if I truly believed in ghosts, I only said yes. Then one day he asked me if I believed in God. Again I nodded stating, “Of course!” But what he said, with a twinkle in his eye, “But obviously you believe more in ghosts!” might be true in my case!
