343/365 And I test positive for Covid
I had not contracted Covid since it came. Or at least that is what I believe. I have not had any symptoms, nor did I have to test. But finally the day came. On Monday I woke up with a Stuffy nose and watery eyes. I have my allergies and I thought this was the…

342/365 A Graduation Cermony
This Sunday was our daughter’s graduation ceremony from UC Santa Cruz. She now has a bachelors in Economics. As we were driving to Santa Cruz we (Me and my wife) were taking a trip through our memory lane. I still remember when she was in 1st grade. She had just moved to California from Toronto…

341/365 Questions need to be asked
I am going through a phase where I am questioning what I think and do. Not everything but a lot. And why am I doing this? I think there are influences that I should be aware of and there are parts of my lie that need a bit more nurturing. It is a long process,…

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 ?

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…
