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...

Day 23 - A Bucket List Is Not A Wait List

Many people craft a bucket list full of dreams, places to visit, skills to learn, and experiences to savor. Yet, more often than not, they tuck it away like an old book, waiting for the mythical “right time.” But why wait a lifetime to live the life you dream of? The truth is, a bucket list should not be a wait list—it is an invitation to embrace life's opportunities, big and small, starting now. The longer we wait to check items off our list, the more distant those aspirations become, morphing into fantasies rather than goals. Life is too short and too precious to wait indefinitely for the "perfect moment." So, how can we turn that list of dreams into reality? Here are some reflections on why now is the time to act, and some ways to start ticking off those bucket list items without delay. Start Small but Start Now The first misconception is that fulfilling a bucket list requires monumental leaps or huge financial investments. While some aspirations may indeed...

Gone Too Soon

Gone too soon is a bitter truth that hits hard when you have fond memories of the person to look back and smile upon.  However inevitable it may be, death is something we are least prepared for. Rarely do we acknowledge death and prepare for it. It is far easier to know we are going to die one day. We all know it. We are destined to die the moment we are conceived.  But it is one thing to know and totally another to realize and accept we are going to die. How many of us live as if we are going to die today. Will we be really at peace preparing for death? Why is it that we wait for someone to tell us we don't have much time to start valuing time?  We always hear someone or other say, “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” Most times we have a hearty laugh about it but ignore what it tells us. How many times do we ask ourselves if today is going to be the last day of our life, what is that we would do?  Steve Jobs in his ...
