340/365 And then it rained and I ran
There is an interesting quote by one of my favorite poets ‘Charles Buckowski’ and it goes like this. ‘People run from rain but sit in bathtubs full of water’. I read this again a day back and it has been in my mind ever since and I had to write. It is water but one…

339/365 What is in a name?
Yesterday I shared a picture of my son on Social Media with an award he got for the best performer in a play from his school. His last name is my first name and someone asked me a question. What was my opinion about having the last name as the Father’s name? The person probably…

338/365 How do we Reinvent ?
This is a very loaded question. I can only say I am in the process. As I write this 338th blog post I look back and think of the time I started and why I started. I started because I had stopped writing. I used to blog a lot before. Then I stopped and I…

337/365 Should we need to Reinvent ?
My Answer to this question was where I ended my last post. I will repeat that once more. ‘So my simple reason is that to build the kind of future I think I want, reinvention is an absolute necessity.’ Now I can still decide not to reinvent. But again every process of reinvention starts with…

336/365 Why do we need to Reinvent ?
The simple answer is because we can. Also the world is changing. What we know is becoming obsolete and insufficient for the future. We have also learned things that are not true any more. Our views that shaped us are also changing. We are still floating on some old stagnant water. It needs to be changed.…

335/365 Reinventing Oneself
I am not sure if I have written about this topic before. But since it is about reinventing, I think I can write again. If it is a repetition, my apologies. This is what is in my mind now. I turned 50 in 2020 I think. Not that it matters. But what matters is this…

334/365 Look around us, what do we see?
I was listening to Berne Brown’s book ‘Braving the Wilderness’. As I listened I heard something in this way. Some of our connections might be built on a common hate for someone or something. This struck me hard. I know of echo chambers and I know I am in a few. I would like to…

333/365 Another Mass shooting in United States
All the newsletters I have been subscribing to and the podcasts I listen to have been talking about the Robbs Elementary School shooting last week. On the day of shooting I did not know of it until late in the evening. The reason being I don’t check the news regularly. Some days I don’t even…

332/365 Why did I slow down when I was reaching the finish line?
Today is post number 332 of my 365 Days Writing project. Well it is no more 365 days because I missed several days between my last post. My last Post was on May 26th and today should have been my 339th post. But I am still at 332. Why did I slow down when I…

331/365 When do we choose Hope
There are so many bad things happening around us. So many things that you want to be involved in as well. It is like you feel guilty if you do not speak up. One after the other, the issues you want to speak about never end. And then a point comes when you think, why…
