A collection of my thoughts....

On enlightenment
There's a very thin line between knowing, being aware, realizing, being awakened and being enlightened.


On stories
Stories have profound way of impacting life. How effectively they are told and how the meaning unfolds to the listener is what makes the real difference.


On waliking
I took my first step. Then again I took my first step. Then again and again till I could walk. Then I walked again and again till such time walking came effortlessly. So much so that today I don't even realize that I walk. I just walk.


On winning and loosing
You either win it or loose it. But things get complicated when you start thinking what should have and should not have been done. The problem is that most of the times people get stuck here. Those who move ahead go on to win really big. Move on. Keep moving forward.


On mistakes
Its easy to sit back and comment on the mistakes others make, but very difficult to anticipate the same and act sensibly when faced with a similar situation...


You fear what u don't see and understand... (this one's from one of the Batman movies)


On Marriage
Lover marriage or arrange marriage....it does not make a difference ....but people connecting do..


On truth
The biggest defeat of truth is when everybody knows it but nobody does anything about it...


On life
Two ways of looking at life....one is to look what we have done so far and second what we can do...unfortunately most of us live life by what we have done and not by what we can do.......

Day 9 - The Power of Understanding

The words “I understand” hold immense power. In the TV show Two and a Half Men , Charlie Harper often uses this phrase, sometimes with humorous intent. But beyond the humor, these two simple words—"I understand"—carry a depth and magic that is often overlooked. Understanding is the first step toward empathy. It reflects a willingness to connect with another person's experience, their emotions, and their perspective. Yet, to truly understand, we must pause and reflect on what we mean when we say it.  Do we really understand what the other person is going through?  Are we merely acknowledging their words, or are we trying to feel what they feel? True understanding isn’t about sympathy or offering solutions. It’s about resonance.  Do we truly feel the depth of someone’s anxiety or pain, or are we simply familiar with the emotion?  Does understanding require us to have lived through similar circumstances, or is it possible to grasp the weight of another’s experience even...

You Are Not The Only One

You just stumbled upon a brilliant idea. You have to come to believe its a gem of an idea. You have a strong intuition its going to be game changer. You want to turn it into an enterprise. You are excited, since your long cherished entrepreneurial dream is now sure to see daylight. You start putting things in place in run up to your dream venture. You are fiercely protective of your idea and taking every precaution to not let it out. Somehow you believe, you are the only one ever to think about it and if you do share it with someone else, chances are - they may rob you of the idea. So you are not willing to let your guard down. And therefore are reluctant to share, discuss and deliberate the idea with anyone else. At times, even with some who might help you shape and execute the idea. The anxiety and the insecurity of loosing your baby (that too even before its been thoroughly conceived) holds you back. If this is what you have experienced and this what you still believe. Let m...

Not Everything Happens For A Reason

Not everything happens for a reason. Sometimes things just happen. That's it. There is nothing one can do about it. But we go looking for reasons. That is what we have been told for ages - Everything happens for a reason.  And we have all kinds of reasons. Fate, destiny,  divine plan, higher purpose, God's plan, for something better, or it was meant to happen. You keep getting some or the other inexplicable reasons which rarely makes any sense. Yet we continue to look for answers because we have been always made to believe everything happens for a reason. Just because something does not work out - it could be a business, marriage, education, divorce, death of a loved one, broken dreams - does not mean there have to be reasons for it. In fact, there are none. These reasons we seek become an escape route. We start using them to rationalize failure and loss. We have grown accustomed to becoming strong believers of cause and effect. So much so that it starts becoming a crutch we w...
