A Really Good SMS on Friendship

I made so many friends,

Some became dearest,

Some became special,

Fell in love with someone,

Some went abroad,

Some changed their cities,

Some left us,

I left some,

Some are still in contact,

Some are not in contact,

Some don't contact because of their ego,

I don't contact some because of my ego,

However they were,

However I was..

I still remember, love, miss and care for them because of the part they played, made "MEMORIES" in my life...

To let my old friends know that they have not been forgotten, and to tell the new one that I will never forget them

What a beautiful SMS to wake up to. Thanks to my friend Tushar for sharing such a beautiful SMS. And whoever has written these lines must have really experienced the true essence of friendship. The very fact that them I could relate to them as my own thoughts makes it even more special. Worthy enough to be shared, shared with everyone who has made the "Memories" in my life, your life, our life. For Friendship

I recently watched a Tamil movie that left me reflecting deeply on the intricate, often unseen threads of connection that bind us to others. Despite having watched it twice and appreciating its nuanced storytelling, I still struggle to pronounce the name of the mysterious relative, Meiyazhagan . The name may evade me, but the emotions it evokes resonate deeply. The story unfolds with Arul, a man who embarks on an emotional journey to reconnect with his roots. During his visit to Thanjavur, Arul is shown his childhood bicycle, now a cherished relic in the home of a relative he barely remembers. The bicycle, meticulously maintained, symbolizes resilience and love—it once served as a livelihood tool for the family and now stands as a "god" in their household. The relative, referred to as Nandhini’s husband, shows unwavering affection and generosity toward Arul, despite the latter's inability to recall his name or their shared history. This anonymity does not dimi...

Day 19 - The Power of Multidisciplinary Approach

In an era of specialization, many of the world's most successful people advocate for a broader, more holistic view—one that embraces a multidisciplinary approach to life. This approach involves combining knowledge and skills from various fields, leading to better problem-solving, creativity, and adaptability. Think of a Renaissance person like Leonardo da Vinci, whose expertise spanned art, science, and engineering, shaping innovation for centuries. Today, the importance of a multidisciplinary mindset has become even more crucial in navigating the complexities of modern life. The Impact of a Multidisciplinary Approach David Epstein’s book, Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, provides compelling arguments for why those who explore a wide variety of interests often outperform their more specialized peers in the long run. Epstein highlights examples from sports, business, and science, showing that people who dip their toes into different fields are often...

The 70+ Hour Work Week Debate: An Intentional Grab for Attention or a Serious Commentary?

The recent debates surrounding the idea of a 70+ hour work week have sparked intense reactions, drawing both applause and criticism. While some view it as a badge of honor for high achievers, others see it as an outdated notion that glorifies burnout. But a deeper question emerges: is this debate merely a deliberate attempt to grab eyeballs and enjoy a fleeting hour of glory? In today’s media-driven world, controversial statements often gain disproportionate attention, flooding news feeds and capturing the public’s imagination. Leaders making such proclamations may find themselves in the limelight, relishing the buzz around their bold, albeit polarizing, remarks. But at what cost does this attention come? The Underlying Risks and Downsides The glorification of excessive work hours raises several pressing concerns: Burnout Culture : Does endorsing 70+ hour work weeks perpetuate a culture where exhaustion is equated with success?
